Into the Creations 642

Chapter 642 – 642. God’S Atlantis

Kwaaaaaaang!

A sudden explosion erupted, shaking the entire confinement room, and the force of it caused the locked door to burst open.

Weeeeeeeeeee!

A loud siren blared.

“Yujin!”

“Right! This is a chance from the heavens!”

I used the sword energy from my finger to cut the rope tied around her neck.

Lilsne touched her neck with her hand. She seemed awkward with the missing rope and the newfound freedom.

“Lilsne! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! Let’s escape!”

“Yes!”

We grabbed hands, naked, and ran out of the confinement room. From here on, I had to be more careful with Lilsne. If I lost her and she found something strange, she might suspect me.

We ran through the dark hallway where no light entered.

“Yujin! There’s a room over there!”

“That’s not an exit! That’s the room I was locked in!”

I couldn’t take her into that room. Alboju’s things and my things were in there. I would have to come back later to retrieve them.

At the end of the hallway, we found stairs leading up. There was no hesitation. We went straight up. The door in the ceiling was blocked. Squeak. We opened the door. We emerged onto the floor of a small cabin.

The cabin was a mess. There was a bed, a table, and liquor bottles scattered around. And through the window, we could see outside.

“Damn it! It’s a betrayal! A betrayal!”

“The boss betrayed us!”

The Alboog Bandit gang members shouted through gritted teeth. The bandits were running around the forest with weapons in their hands.

“Kill the Alboog boss!”

“Damn it! How can the boss betray us?!”

“Don’t even call that bastard the boss anymore!”

Lilsne and I exchanged glances. We could tell what was going on from the bandits’ angry shouts.

‘Alboog. He’s following the contract.’

The Alboog Bandit gang was cooperating with me for money. But I had a one-on-one contract with Alboog, not the Alboog Bandit gang. The Alboog Bandit gang received an advance payment from me, but only the boss, Alboog, knew the exact details of the contract.

Alboog would kill all of his subordinates today, exactly on the seventh day.

“Yujin! It’s an internal conflict! Just like you said, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from the heavens!”

“That’s right. If we hide here, we’ll get caught. We have to escape.”

I looked around. There were bandit clothes on the wall. I put on a pair of pants and gave the rest to her. It was clothes I had prepared in advance. Of course, my smartphone was in the pants pocket.

“Lilsne. Put on these clothes, even if they’re rough. I’ll go outside for a bit.”

“You’re going outside?”

“I need a weapon. It’s okay. It’s chaotic, so I can easily steal a weapon. Just in case, hide in here.”

Before she could answer, I went outside. I took a suitable sword from my inventory and ran into the forest.

“Kkyaaaaaaak!”

Not far away, Alboog was killing his subordinates.

“Oh. You’ve come out.”

Alboog, covered in blood, grinned at me.

“Is the cleanup finished?”

“There are still seven left. I know where they are, so it’ll be over in ten minutes. But… what were you doing inside for a week?”

“I was doing good work.”

“You’re a man full of schemes too. Hahaha.”

I grabbed one of the bandit corpses lying on the ground. His neck was more than half severed, and a spear was stuck in his chest.

“I’ll take this.”

“I don’t care, but what are you going to do with a corpse? Are you going to eat it or something?”

“Would I eat the likes of you even if I ate human flesh?”

Alboog laughed, agreeing with me. Then, he turned serious and said to me.

“Don’t you have something you forgot?”

“Here, this is the promised payment.”

I took an envelope out of my pocket and threw it to him.

The payment for the contract.

An introduction letter to Helten, the best criminal organization in Atlantis.

“Hahaha! With this, I can play in the big leagues!”

“Go to the place written on the envelope, and give that letter to the person there.”

I turned away. My contract with Alboog was over. I wouldn’t have to deal with that guy anymore.

“Hahaha. We’ll be colleagues, but you’re so cold.”

“Good luck.”

I headed back to the cabin without looking back. Alboog would surely take care of the remaining seven subordinates. He was going to clear all of his petty past here to get into Helten.

As I approached the cabin, I used Deception (SS).

The corpse I was dragging changed. The skinny bandit turned into Alboju.

After confirming that Deception (SS) was properly applied, I spoke in a moderately loud voice at the entrance of the cabin.

“Lilsne! Come out! Alboju is dead!”

“Really?!”

Lilsne came out. She was only wearing the bandit’s top, and she was naked below. Her chest was covered, but it was precarious. It looked like her pink vagina would be visible with the slightest movement.

“Look. There’s a corpse here.”

“……”

Lilsne was silent.

I felt uneasy. Could she have recognized that it was a fake corpse?

Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Her face contorted. Tears welled up in her eyes, and her clenched fists were full of strength.

“I wanted to kill him with my own hands… but to die so meaninglessly…”

“Lilsne. He’s already dead.”

“Yes. I know.”

She raised her hand to wipe away her tears and looked straight at me.

“Yujin. We have to escape as soon as possible.”

“I found a way where there are no bandits. Let’s run.”

“Yes!”

We started running through the forest. None of the bandits were chasing us.

“We were lucky. Who would have thought there would be an internal conflict among those guys.”

“Does Yujin know why they had an internal conflict?”

“Over 90% of internal conflicts in bandit gangs are due to money. The current situation is no different. Let’s focus on getting away. First, we need to go to a nearby village and… get you some clothes.”

The next day, we were able to safely arrive at the Aefla Legion.

Lilsne and I agreed not to report the events of the past seven days separately to Kang Myungjin. Kang Myungjin didn’t ask us any questions, so we were able to move on smoothly.

But that didn’t mean we gave up on revenge.

Lilsne and I searched for Alboog separately. But even after several days, we couldn’t get any information about Alboog. Alboog had disappeared, and we never heard any information about him again.

Of course, I knew what happened to Alboog.

•••

Area 20, the Plains of Tranquility.

Alboog arrived at the place written on the envelope. It was a place where large rocks were clustered together on the prairie.

Alboog’s gaze turned to a rock in the center.

A person was sitting quietly on the rock.

It was a man wearing a white octagonal mask with no eyes, nose, or mouth.

Alboog spoke to him.

“Are you the boss of Helten?”

“That’s right. I’m the leader of Helten.”

“Your voice doesn’t sound very trustworthy. You have no spirit. No spirit.”

“Really? But the fact that I’m the leader of Helten doesn’t change.”

Alboog tried to assess his opponent’s capabilities. It was his habit.

‘I don’t know, but I don’t think I’ll lose. Is that really the boss of Helten?’

Alboog looked at him suspiciously and then opened his mouth.

“The reason I came here is to join Helten. And this is the introduction letter.”

Alboog put mana into the introduction letter and threw it to him. It was a petty trick to see the other person’s skills. The other person calmly received the introduction letter and read it.

“Why? You’re quite a famous bandit. Is there a reason why you want to join Helten?”

He asked.

“I want to play in the big leagues. It’s a waste of my talent to just be a bandit.”

“I see.”

“Is that all the reaction you have? Is there something wrong with the introduction letter?”

“There’s nothing wrong with the introduction letter. It’s definitely from Chunma. But what you want is a position as an executive in Helten, right?”

“That’s right. I’m good enough, aren’t I?”

“You’re not enough.”

The white octagon said without hesitation.

“You’re far from enough. Chunma had something special even if his abilities were lacking. And he’s quickly gaining those abilities. Most of the executives acknowledged Chunma, but not you. You don’t have anything special to attract the executives’ attention, and your abilities are far from enough.”

Alboog frowned. It was the first time he had been told so bluntly that his abilities were lacking. It was the first time in a long time that he had been so angry.

“So, you’re saying that I can’t become an executive in Helten because my abilities are lacking?”

“Yes.”

“…Bullshit. Who are you to judge my abilities? I’ll show you my abilities for sure.”

Alboog drew his sword. The sword pierced his own stomach. The blade went through his back.

“Huh?”

Alboog, flustered, tried to pull out the sword. His arm pushed the sword in even deeper.

He moved his other hand to pull out the sword. But that hand didn’t pull out the sword, it pulled out his left eye and threw it on the ground.

“What… is… this?!”

He spat out blood and decided to run away from this place. His legs wouldn’t listen. His legs collapsed to the ground.

“It’s a simple illusion.”

The voice came from behind. He forced his head to turn back.

A mirror mask wearing a cloak was standing there. The mirror was reflecting the dying Alboog.

“It’s an illusion that changes the perception of the senses. Anyone with a certain level of skill can notice and deal with it… but you can’t even deal with it. Now you realize that you’re incompetent.”

“Damn it…!”

Alboog pulled the sword out of his stomach and threw it at the mirror mask. The sword didn’t fly, it pierced his neck.

“You fool.”

The last thing Alboog heard was the mirror mask’s sneer.

“Mirror. You didn’t have to step in.”

“It was Chunma’s request to me to kill this guy.”

“Huh? Chunma told me through you that he would introduce this guy to me?”

“Chunma only spoke the words. He probably didn’t think you would step in directly. And it’s surprising. I didn’t think you would step in directly for such a pathetic guy.”

“I had some free time. And I’m surprised too. You didn’t have to step in directly.”

“I just stepped in because I owe him in many ways.”

“He must have taken a liking to him?”

“……”

The mirror was silent. The octagon enjoyed the silence and then opened his mouth.

“I got some interesting information about the Ten-Year Festival.”

“Oh. What is it?”

The octagon told her the information about the Ten-Year Festival.

“…Thank you. If I didn’t have this information, it would have been troublesome.”

“It’s nothing. I don’t like those guys either. And we should help each other as colleagues.”

“Help each other… Did you find what you were looking for?”

“I think I’ve found a clue. As always, the problem is from now on.”

“Hmm. I see. Is there anything else you want to say?”

“No. Have fun at the Ten-Year Festival.”

The octagon disappeared.

The mirror mask looked at the rock where he had been and then disappeared.

Only one corpse was left there, still bleeding hot blood.

[The game is over.]

[Sung Yujin

Level: 70

Strength: 80 Stamina: 80 Agility: 75 Intelligence: 70 Spirit: 80 Mana: 80]

[Available Points: 2,227]

I returned to reality.

I had accumulated over 2,000 points.

It was more than usual. The reason was the level achievement reward.

[You have acquired 700 points for reaching level 70.]

[You have acquired a blank card for reaching level 70.]

Not only that, but I also got a special item called a blank card.

‘This blank card is amazing.’

[Blank Card.

You can exchange it for one item from the random draw shop.

Price: –

※Caution

You can only exchange it for one item.

Blank cards can only be obtained as rewards.]

In other words, I could use this blank card to exchange for a [Game Reset Ticket], [Resurrection of the Dead], or a [30-Day Regression Ticket].

‘I don’t need it right now. But if I were to use it, I’d probably exchange it for Resurrection of the Dead?’

My hands were itching. I wanted to use the good items right away.

‘That’s something that’s not easy to get, so I’ll save it for when I need it… Let’s use the accumulated points first. The points first….’

A total of 2,227 points.

Should I invest in stats? Or should I raise the level of my skills and traits?

A happy dilemma began.
