Chapter 2192 – 2192. Dark Moon

The Four-Leaf Clover Treasure Hunter. Thanks to that guy solving some puzzles and taking the treasure, the plan sped up.

We headed to Donghae Island, one of the large islands in the Gangneung Archipelago.

Takeshi, the island lord of Donghae Island, came out himself with his subordinates to greet us. They were armed, but they didn’t hold their weapons. I didn’t sense any intention to fight either. Takeshi was a middle-aged man with a sharp impression.

“I’ve heard rumors that you’re unraveling the secrets of the ancient ruins. We will cooperate. What can we do?”

The pirates stopped fighting where we were. They were trying their best not to interfere with us. More than that, they were even trying to help. It wasn’t the pirates’ intention, but the result of the influence of the corporations behind them. They would want the ancient ruins more than anyone else.

“That’s good timing. I needed manpower anyway. I’ll designate seven places. Go and dig.”

“…How deep should we dig?”

“Until water comes out and fills the dug-up area.”

In the meantime, we rested while being served by the pirates. The pirates even gave us food. Of course, we didn’t put the food in our mouths. It was suspicious. We had enough food, so there was no need to eat what untrustworthy guys gave us.

About three hours after we started resting. Rumble. An earthquake occurred throughout the Gangneung Archipelago.

‘Looks like they dug as I told them to.’

We moved to the next island.

• • •

The last island is Pyeongchang Island. The largest island in the Gangneung Archipelago.

The island lord of Pyeongchang Island also greeted us. He looked more like a pirate boss than the other two pirate leaders. He had a messy black beard and unkempt black hair. He wore a black coat over his shoulders. He grinned, revealing his black teeth.

“Wizard! I’m Aman, the island lord of Pyeongchang Island. If you need anything, just tell me. I’ll help you!”

“Looking at your face makes me feel dirty. Get out of my sight.”

I said it with annoyance. Aman’s caterpillar-like eyebrows twitched, but he soon grinned.

“Oops. I am ugly, aren’t I? I’ll step back so I don’t get in the way of the wizards.”

The pirates retreated.

“For this task, we need the help of Ms. Orsia.”

“I have plenty of power, so don’t worry. What do you need me to do?”

“I’ll explain when we get there. This condition requires you to go into the sea and fulfill it. This is the last one. If it ends successfully, the ancient ruins will emerge.”

“Something big is going to happen.”

“Yes. The corporations will probably rush in. It’s okay. I have the information about the ancient ruins. We’re the ones who have the advantage.”

I wrapped the group in wind magic and went into the sea. To be precise, into the sea under the island. I approached the iron door hidden in the sea and entered the password q1w2e3r4, and the door opened.

“That’s the password?”

Invisible Blade said as if it was absurd.

“It’s the long-standing tradition of Great Korea. If an artifact related to Great Korea requires a password, try this or try it. If the password is four digits, 1234 or 0000 will open most doors.”

“That’s some useful information you got there.”

Although, the ancient ruins of Great Korea are so rare that there won’t be many chances to use that information.

Anyway, the door opened, and we went inside. Dozens of artificial rock pillars were supporting the ceiling, or rather, the island.

This puzzle required moving the rock pillars here to the correct places.

‘Originally, I would need to activate the structure with a system key obtained from another ancient ruin… but if I prepare to enter that ruin, it would take at least three years.’

It took too long.

‘This is a game world, but it’s reality. I don’t have to follow the original game’s method.’

There was a 7th-grade space mage here.

“Ms. Orsia. Please move that pillar to the place with the groove over there. Is it possible?”

It was too heavy to move with telekinesis or brute force. Just one pillar would weigh hundreds of tons. That’s when space magic is needed. A type of magic that I can’t use yet.

“The rock pillars are not connected to the floor and ceiling. If so, yes. Material transfer is possible. Since the size is large… I don’t think I can move many. 15. That seems to be the limit.”

“We only need to move nine.”

The order was important here. The hint for the order comes from another ancient ruin.

‘I haven’t really solved puzzles by looking at hints. It’s all on the internet.’

It was fortunate that the knowledge of the original work came to mind. There was no need to go through unnecessary hardships.

Orsia took off her glasses. Her eyes glowed silver-gray. Her Mana Eye activated, and her astral and mana were amplified in an instant. As Orsia’s hand reached forward, a silver-gray magic circle unfolded.

High-level space magic.

‘Is that arcane magic? It has a high-level lock on it. I think I could deeply interpret it… but even if I somehow interpret it, I wouldn’t be able to fully understand it. I haven’t even fully mastered the basics of space magic yet.’

Just watching a 7th-grade mage cast space magic was something to learn from. The unique sensation of space magic, Orsia’s spell manipulation, and mana control techniques.

I held my breath and watched her.

The magic circle flashed. The space rippled, and the rock pillar that had been separated moved to its designated place in an instant. It was clean without an inch of error.

“Which is the next pillar?”

Snapping out of my thoughts, I raised my hand and pointed to the next pillar.

“That pillar over there. If you look at the bottom, there’s a blue band.”

Each pillar had its own characteristics and could be distinguished.

She moved the pillars as I pointed them out.

The moment the nine designated pillars found their places, dozens of rock pillars began to shine and rotate. Mana poured out from the pillars and began to plunge to the floor.

“Ms. Orsia. Let’s go up to the island. You’ll see something interesting.”

Rumble.

With a roar, the entire Gangneung Archipelago moved. The islands seemed to push away from each other, creating a circular space in the center.

A huge whirlpool arose in that vast sea space. The pirate ships caught in the whirlpool were instantly crushed and turned into debris. Pirates who survived there? Of course, there were none. It was not a whirlpool that a human body could withstand.

And from the center, something huge slowly began to rise. At first, it looked like a giant creature like a whale, but as it gradually revealed its shape, it became clear that it was an island with modern buildings.

The ancient ruins of Great Korea, Sebitseom.

We stared blankly at the self-levitating island that had risen high into the sky from the top of Pyeongchang Island. It was truly a spectacle.

“Wait a minute. Water is constantly flowing out of the island in five streams. It doesn’t make sense for such a vast amount of water to be on such an island. Is it creating water?”

“That’s seawater.”

“…There’s no seawater going up? That makes even less sense.”

“Don’t you know? It’s drawing seawater with a Bluetooth transmitter. Great Korea’s Bluetooth technology was incredibly advanced. The Bluetooth wireless shower is a byproduct of that technology.”

“There’s no such thing as a Bluetooth wireless shower. There are magic showers, though.”

“It exists in Great Korea.”

“What is Great Korea… Ah, wait a minute. The whirlpool is gone, and a ship has appeared. Hmm. It’s illegally modified into a warship, but it’s not a pirate ship. There are no identifiable flags either… It seems the corporations have started to move in earnest. Were they preparing nearby in advance…?”

“As expected.”

Helicopters were taking off from the corporations’ ships. Their destination was obviously Sebitseom. As time passed, more and more troops would gather on Sebitseom.

“Mr. Eugene. Is it okay to be so relaxed like this?”

Orsia, who had seen the ancient ruins with her own eyes, was slightly more excited than usual.

“There’s no need to be impatient. No matter what the process is, we will be the ones to get everything from the ancient ruins. Trust me.”

“…Yes. I trust you, Mr. Eugene.”

“Save your teleportation. I’ll take you all with wind magic.”

I used wind magic to lift myself into the air.

I could fly using levitation or telekinesis, but using wind magic was more efficient to fly in the sky with others.

‘Sebitseom is one of the largest ancient ruins, so there’s a lot to gain. But it’s also a place with a lot of annoying gimmicks. Heading there without any knowledge is crazy.’

There are a total of 15 entrances to Sebitseom. Ten of them were entrances directly connected to traps.

‘Something old in this world has the potential to change due to mysterious powers or spirits. Ancient ruins are no exception. That’s why ancient ruins are dangerous. Ancient ruins are like dangerous dungeons.’

Dr. Hong Baejeok, the island lord of Hongcheon Island, stared blankly at the sky. There, the ancient ruins of Great Korea that he had dreamed of were present.

“Sebitseom… It’s definitely it. It’s Sebitseom from the ancient documents related to Great Korea…!”

Hong Baejeok was moved.

He had seen with his own eyes the legacy of his ancestors, Great Korea.

Yes. He was a descendant of Great Korea, who had built that great civilization! Wasn’t the reason he started studying Great Korea to see his roots with his own eyes? Dr. Hong was satisfied, and he felt another desire welling up.

‘In the end, those ruins will fall into the hands of the corporations. I want to go and check it out before that! Maybe there’s an artifact that only I can find. I’m a descendant of Great Korea, and I’m a doctor who has studied Great Korea for a long time!’

As he was looking for a way, an opportunity came.

Aman, the island lord of Pyeongchang Island, came to find Dr. Hong by helicopter.

“Dr. Hong. I’ll make you a final offer. Will you come with us to that damn ancient ruin?”

“…Aman. Do you want my knowledge?”

“If not, there’s no reason for me to come looking for you like this.”

“I have a condition. Don’t touch the people of Hongcheon Island.”

“Those guys? They’re already out of my interest.”

“…Also, I want you to share some of the artifacts with me.”

“That’s not for you to decide. The corporation will decide. Go and prove your worth. Make the corporation want you.”

“I am an expert in Great Korea. The corporation will surely want me.”

After speaking with a confident voice, Dr. Hong boarded the helicopter. The helicopter landed on one side of Sebitseom.

The barrier and the huge gate located on the outermost edge of Sebitseom.

There was an invisible barrier, so it was impossible to cross the barrier by helicopter. In the end, Aman, Dr. Hong, and the employees dispatched by the corporation had to get off in front of the entrance.

The sensor on the large iron gate flashed red, and a mechanical sound came out.

“Beep. Welcome to Entrance 3. However, according to current government policy, Sebitseom does not welcome guests. Only genetic Koreans can enter Sebitseom.”

Dr. Hong confidently stepped forward.

“Then there’s no problem. I am a descendant of Great Korea! The blood of Great Koreans flows in my body!”

“Beep! Starting scan.”

A blue light from the gate scanned Dr. Hong’s body.

“Beep! Scan results show that your K-DNA is less than 1%. Your Han-Nam power is 26. You are not Korean physically or mentally.”

“What, not Korean? I, I am Korean! My father and grandfather were also Korean! It’s the prestigious Hong family! And what is Han-Nam power anyway!”

“It’s an abbreviation for Korean male mental strength. Your body has more than 60% J-DNA and less than 30% C-DNA. Your Il-Nam power is 358. Korea, Japan, and China are at war. Japanese people cannot enter Sebitseom.”

“N-no way. I’m Japanese? A descendant of Japanese? Don’t lie!!”

“I do not lie. If you do not disappear within 5 minutes, I will start attacking.”

Aman, who had been watching, grabbed Dr. Hong’s shoulder in shock and pulled him back.

“Get out of the way, Dr. Hong. Think of a Japanese name this time. Leave it to us.”

Aman raised a bazooka and aimed it at the entrance.

“A door is meant to be broken down to enter.”

He pulled the trigger.

“Beep. Welcome to Entrance 11. However, according to current government policy, Sebitseom does not welcome guests. Only genetic Koreans can enter Sebitseom.”

I chuckled as I looked at the entrance. It was an unintentional laugh at the same reaction as in the original work.

‘There’s a way to polymorph into a Korean… but I couldn’t get Korean blood.’

In the first place, it’s not easy to get Korean blood in this world. Even those who claim to be descendants of Koreans are not pure Koreans. There was a high possibility that they would not meet the standards of that AI.

‘Too much time has passed, and there are hardly any pure Koreans left.’

Even if it’s annoying, there’s no other way but to break down the entrance and go in. Still, it was good that we found the right entrance, number 11.

“Beep! Starting scan!”

After a moment of thought, Invisible Blade confidently stepped forward and got scanned.

“Beep! More than 90% J-DNA detected! Il-Nyeo power is 611! You are a considerable Il-Nyeo. I sense the aura of a good wife and mother. If you marry a Korean man, you will meet the naturalization requirements.”

“Hehe. That’s a funny AI. What should we do? Should we just ignore it and break through?”

Invisible Blade asked me. Just as I was about to say something, the AI scanned me on its own.

“Beep! More than 99% K-DNA confirmed! Han-Nam power is 999! Top grade! You are a person not in the database. According to the conditions, a special resident registration card will be issued. What is your name?”

No, I was Korean in my past life… Is this body also Korean? Come to think of it, my face was the same as in my past life.

“……It’s Eugene.”

“A special resident registration card has been issued. Welcome to Sebitseom! Han-Nam Eugene!”

Thud.

The entrance opened.
