Chapter 1637 – 1637. God’S Atlantis
What I pulled out of my inventory was Tutankhamun’s golden mask. The gleaming golden mask was an object that felt both mysterious and eerie.
「Tutankhamun’s Golden Mask
While wearing the golden mask, no curse will affect you.
You become one of the dead.
Mana increases by 50.
You can control the undead depending on your mana level. However, you can control mummies regardless.
Destroys the wearer’s mind. If your mind is intact, you can become its true master. But if your mind is destroyed, you will fall into a mummy state.
Rank: SSS」
‘The mask’s appearance is something, but its abilities are even more outstanding. It’s an SSS-rank item, after all.’
As befitting its SSS rank, each of its effects is incredible.
‘The ability I need right now is curse immunity. If I wear this mask, I won’t be affected by curses, so I can escape this damn thirst.’
This amazing mask has a fatal flaw.
You become one of the dead. That is, the moment you wear the mask, you become undead.
‘I can’t have sex.’
How can a corpse with a stopped heart get an erection?
‘I can just take it off when I have sex.’
What was important now was this damn thirst. I was tired of drinking water and throwing it up repeatedly. I put on Tutankhamun’s mask.
The moment I put on the mask, I felt a sense of comfort. The coolness that came as the curse clinging to my body disappeared! I didn’t even feel thirsty.
「Tutankhamun’s Golden Mask解除 the desert curse.」
Of course, I know this is temporary.
The moment I take off Tutankhamun’s golden mask, the curse will cover me again.
Although I had become one of the dead, my body felt comfortable. It was the moment I smiled with satisfaction. I saw a golden light. I was so dazzled that I looked around in confusion. A beat later, I realized the source of the light was the mask and panicked.
‘What, what is this?’
As far as I knew, Tutankhamun’s golden mask didn’t have a glowing effect.
「Special event has occurred!」
「Tutankhamun has returned!」
「Tutankhamun has returned to the Golden Desert! The Golden Desert is where he originally belongs!」
「As the owner of the golden mask, you must participate in the special event!」
「Dominate the 5,144th district of the Golden Desert within 44 days!」
「You will receive the blessing of the desert for 44 days.」
「You cannot take off Tutankhamun’s golden mask for 44 days.」
「If you fail to dominate the Golden Desert, Tutankhamun’s golden mask will be destroyed.」
「If you dominate other desert areas besides the Golden Desert, you will receive additional rewards.」
‘A special event!’
It’s an event that only appears when special conditions are met.
In this case, it seems that the condition was that Tutankhamun’s golden mask had to arrive in the 5,144th district, the Golden Desert.
‘I didn’t know about this either. I can only say I was lucky.’
The rewards for these special events vary depending on the type, but they are all good.
‘At the very least, the rewards for special events increase your stats.’
Nothing is as important as stats in this world. And if I fail the special event, I will lose Tutankhamun’s golden mask. I can’t just lose an SSS-rank item for nothing.
‘To dominate the 5,144th district, the Golden Desert, I have to kill the ruler.’
Killing the ruler of the Golden Desert is not an easy task.
The 5,144th district, the Golden Desert, is the wealthiest district in the western desert region. Having money means it’s easier to gain power.
‘To protect a wealthy district, power is essential. I can’t kill the ruler of the Golden Desert alone.’
What should I do to dominate the Golden Desert? The answer is not difficult. I just need to make good use of Tutankhamun’s golden mask.
‘There’s a reason why the special event gave me 44 days. And the blessing of the desert.’

(Status window is active)」
“Crazy.”
The moment I saw the status window, an exclamation popped out.
‘Is it the effect of the ‘blessing of the desert’?’ All my stats have increased. Especially, the mana stat has increased the most.
‘Mana at 200? This is a stat that transcends humans.’
In addition, I have new unique traits, traits, and skills. All of them are ranked SS or higher.
「No Life King

I chuckled.
There was no way I wouldn’t know what the unique traits, traits, and skills meant.
‘It’s telling me to raise an undead army and wipe them all out.’
I have three skills that would make a necromancer drool.
‘The blessing of the desert isn’t just this.’
I looked at the empty air. There was a semi-transparent window on one side of the air. The window was a map. It was a map showing not only the Golden Desert but the entire western desert region.
‘It’s not just a map showing the terrain.’
Hidden dungeons, hidden treasures, hidden events. All of them were marked.
This map is the real blessing of the desert.
‘The only downside is that small tribes, except for cities, aren’t marked. Well, they’ll probably be near oases. Heh heh.’
• • •
The ruler of the 5,144th district, the Golden Desert, Hatep, heard good news.
“Heh heh. Those ignorant fools were all blown away by the sandstorm? Good! As expected, there’s nothing as stupid as opposing the gods!”
Hatep, who had a thin body and wore all sorts of gold jewelry, pounded his golden throne. It was a habit he had whenever he was in a good mood.
“Hey! Prepare the sacrifices to offer to the master of the oasis! Old women, women who have committed sins, and tribes that dared to rebel against me will be offered to the master of the oasis!”
His subordinate bowed his head and spoke as carefully as possible.
“Ruler of the Golden Desert, there is still time until the next offering ritual. There is no need to offer sacrifices now.”
“Tsk. Have you ever seen such a foolish man? We must offer sacrifices now so that the master of the oasis will be pleased! Before the rulers of other desert areas offer sacrifices, I must offer sacrifices first to gain his attention! This is for the sake of the Golden Desert, so call the shamans and start the offering ritual!”
“…I was foolish. I will complete the preparations for the offering ritual by today.”
“Heh heh heh. And prepare the warriors.”
“Warriors, you say?”
“Attack the desert forest! They have incurred the wrath of the master of the oasis! Kalas, the ruler of the desert forest, is caught in a sandstorm. He may not be dead, but it will be difficult for him to come to his senses right away. Now is the perfect opportunity to dominate the desert forest! Heh heh. Just thinking about the desert elves falling into my hands makes my body tingle.”
Thump thump thump!
Hatep kept pounding the golden throne. The gold jewelry on his body shook and sparkled.
「Special event has occurred!」
「Tutankhamun has returned!」
Hatep’s body stopped at the sudden appearance of the notification window.
“Hmm? Tutankhamun? Hey, can you guys see this notification window too?”
Hatep’s subordinates bowed their heads.
“Special events are events where you can get huge rewards! I’ve heard that you can only experience special events if you’re lucky! The fact that a special event has appeared at this time is the will of the desert! Congratulations, Ruler of the Golden Desert!”
「Tutankhamun will be aiming for the Golden Oasis.」
「Protect the Golden Desert from Tutankhamun for 44 days!」
「Or defeat Tutankhamun and prove that you are the true ruler of the Golden Desert!」
「The blessing of the Golden Desert will be bestowed upon you.」
Hatep’s eyes widened as he checked the blessing of the Golden Desert.
The blessing of the Golden Desert.
In the Golden Desert, the stats of himself and his subordinates increase by 30%.
Also, Hatep gained a new unique trait, ‘King of the Golden Desert (SS)’, a trait, ‘Pharaoh (SS)’, and a skill, Golden Sand Soldier (SSS).
The King of the Golden Desert and Pharaoh were skills for the ruler. The effects were activated immediately. The subordinates around him slammed their heads on the floor, showing their loyalty.
“Great Ruler of the Golden Desert! Kill Tutankhamun and prove your greatness!! Then all the people of the desert will look up to you!”
“Heh heh. Of course, that’s what I intend to do. With the blessing of the Golden Desert, I can roughly know the location of that Tutankhamun guy. He’s in the southeast direction. First, send scouts to find out his location! After that, I will dispatch the army!”
“That is a wise choice!”
“We need gold! Prepare gold! Offer sacrifices to the master of the oasis and receive gold!”
“Great Ruler of the Desert! We already have more than enough gold!”
In the 5,144th district, the Golden Desert, there was a gold mine. An oasis and a gold mine! That was why the Golden Desert was wealthy.
“It’s not enough! Are you defying me?!”
“We will definitely get gold!”
“Until the day Tutankhamun dies, gold trading is prohibited! Bring all the gold to me!”
“Everything will be as you wish!”
His subordinates shouted at the top of their lungs. It seemed a bit excessive, but Hatep was very satisfied with his subordinates’ reactions.
“All I need is gold! If I have gold, I’m not afraid of Tutankhamun or whatever! Gold is invincible, and I am a god!”
The reason he was obsessed with gold was because of his new skill.
Golden Sand Soldier (SSS) was a skill that allowed him to create soldiers without limit if he had gold and sand. Since sand is everywhere in this desert, all he needed was to get gold.
“Hah ha ha ha ha ha!”
Hatep laughed with his mouth wide open, imagining the huge rewards he would get from the special event.
