Chapter 71 – Episode 71. Event Dungeon (7)
Jang Won-seok, 38 years old.
He was a seriously ill patient who spent a long time in a hospital bed.
His body, which had been fighting for a long time, eventually ran out of functions, and he was barely holding on to his dying life with medical devices connected to his whole body.
In the meantime, his mind was moved to the room to get a job, and he was able to choose a job card by a fairy with a mouse head who introduced himself as ‘Kite’.
‘Yeon’ said while looking at several job cards spread out in front of her.
[It’s a pity. No matter what job you have, your lifespan will be as soon as you return to reality- Huh?]
The body of the original stone crackled and scattered as if there was noise, and then maintained its shape again.
‘Yeon’, who was looking at the gemstone with surprised eyes, shook his head and said.
[Oops… It’s a pity. Your body just died. To die without enduring such a short time… Now that it’s happened like this, it seems meaningless to choose a job card. Since your body is dead, your mind will soon perish as well. It’s a pity, but he just passed away-]
When ‘Yeon’ was talking,
Light erupted from the air and one more card was created.
‘Yeon’ looked at the card with surprised eyes and said.
[Hey, this is another strange situation. You have a chance. This job card just created. It’s a 4-star card, and if you draw this card, you’ll be able to raise even dead bodies. It’s really a last chance. Would you like to challenge?]
When ‘Yeon’ finished speaking, the cards he was holding mixed up and then floated up in the air and lined up.
[Now, just one chapter out of ten. Will you be able to survive through the 10% chance? Try your luck.]
Won-seok blankly looked at the cards that floated in front of him.
If there are no regrets in life, it would be a lie.
He picked out his card with trembling hands.
*********
I had never seen him before, but somehow I felt a sense of familiarity with him.
“Can you give me the ring of that subspace?”
“D-I’ll give it to you.”
Hey, are you really giving it?
As he took the ring off his finger, he was startled and hurriedly looked at me and the guild members around him, then shook his head vigorously and shouted.
“Now, wait, no, wait a minute. Ah, I guess giving this to you is a little…”
Um, is it that hard?
It’s definitely not an unreasonable request.
Still, you’ve gone almost to the point of giving it away.
I still don’t understand.
Why am I so familiar with this person, and why is this rambunctious muscle man so hard on me?
I guess we need to share a story.
I said to the muscle man.
“Then, can we put the ring aside for a while and talk a little?”
The muscle man who was startled by my words.
After thinking for a while, he gave instructions to the guild members behind him and then told me.
“Let’s go over there. I also have a lot of questions… Yo”
I’m having a lot of trouble forcing myself to use honorific words that I’m not used to.
I followed him to one side.
He said looking at Jisoo following me.
“That… Wouldn’t it be better if the two of you just talked-”
“It’s okay. Because this friend is the same as me.”
Jisoo made an expression that was moved for some reason, and he gave up trying to say something and looked at me still.
His hand holding the huge sword continued to twitch.
However, as if he gave up soon, the muscular man sighed and spoke to me.
“I don’t understand. I feel like I can cut it right now… But my hand doesn’t move… What have you done to me?”
“Nothing was done. But I guess I know the reason.”
“What is it?”
Instead of answering the question of the muscle man who asked with a twinkle in his eyes, I asked what I was curious about.
“What is your job?”
Basically, it would be quite disrespectful to ask about someone else’s job so openly.
If they hadn’t met each other, it would be an act close to arguing.
It’s a question similar to “Tell me important information about yourself!”
But even so, the muscle man couldn’t be angry with me.
He seemed to be a little conflicted, then sighed again and told me.
“Death Knight… It’s a job called Death Knight.”
Also.
I see.
The familiar energy I feel from you is the energy I feel from my subordinates.
In other words, it was the energy of death.
That’s why Jisoo also said that he felt a sense of familiarity.
However, it is not completely the same as my subordinates.
Unlike my subordinates, who are stained with complete death, what can this old man say?
I wonder if it spans a little bit.
The feeling of being dead but not dead…?
I don’t know what you’re talking about, but the bottom line is that this muscle man belongs to a death similar to my subordinates.
And it is also that he is an existence that has no choice but to be embarrassed by me, a necromancer who can be called the king of death.
Of course, like my subordinates, they never obey my commands.
Although he belongs to death, he is not my subject.
Still, considering that he went to the point where he was about to take off the ring of space, he seems to be able to carry out all the commands.
Perhaps he met a powerful ally in a place other than this.
I said to the muscle man.
“My job is to rule mortal beings like you. Maybe that’s why you can’t cut me, and I think it’s hard to refuse my orders.”
“Ah…”
Only then did the old man nod his head in agreement with an expression of regret
It would be embarrassing
He got a very good job and was filming Musou with overflowing power, but why couldn’t he stop at what a corrupt guy came and said.
The muscle man said to me with his head down.
“What do you plan to do with me?”
“Hmm? Well. Do you have any idea what to do?”
“Yes?”
A muscular man looking up at me with surprised eyes.
Did you know that I would run around like a servant?
Actually, that’s not a bad idea, but… Is there a need for that?
I already have five faithful subordinates who absolutely obey my orders and protect me.
He’s embarrassed by me, but he’s not obedient to me, so why is it necessary to have a muscular man next to me?
Of course, that’s right, take care of yourself and live well. I won’t care.
There’s no way I’m wasting such a good talent, especially a talented person who is stumped by my words.
You should try to put it to good use.
It seems that this muscle man can be used in a position similar to the old man in the second dungeon.
It seems that they are building their own forces as well, so they can raise their own forces and use them when needed.
In order to do that, unlike the boss, you need to build a certain amount of friendship and seek cooperation.
As I said before, it’s not completely my subordinate.
I said to the muscle man who was looking at me with surprised eyes.
“Let’s share a story. It will take a lot of talking.”
I summoned the door of rest and instructed Jisoo to come out with three camping chairs.
The exponent entering the door of rest.
The muscle man asked me with surprised eyes once again.
“Uh… What is that door?”
Hey, this surprised me too.
Can you see that door?
It’s a door that no one but me and my subordinates have seen before.
“Can you see that door?”
“Yes? Of course…”
“Can you see the inside too?”
“You mean inside the door? No. All I see is the door…”
Fortunately, it does not seem to be visible until inside the cradle of rest.
I said to the muscle man.
“Would you like to go inside the door?”
“I-in there? Why is that…”
“Go inside. There is something I want to check.”
The man hesitantly approaches the door of rest at my words.
He looked back at me with a tear-stained face and said.
“Hey, do you really have to go in? It’s a little bit like going in…”
“…?”
“That, so…”
As if he was very afraid of something, he was reluctant to go in.
I looked at the old man and said.
“If you are reluctant to go in, please just put your hand in. That’s because there’s something I want to check.”
At my words, the uncle gritted his teeth and slowly approached the door of rest.
It’s a little pity that it looks like it’s really scary to tremble with a pale face, but…
What can I do If it’s black, you have to
The muscle man tried to stick his hand into the open door of rest, but
“Uh… Huh?”
The uncle’s hand does not go in as if something is blocked by the wall.
The muscle man looked back at me with a bright face and said.
“De, don’t go in! It looks like something is stuck!”
Um, good
I see the door, but I can’t get in.
Thank god.
If someone other than me and my subordinates were able to enter, the trust in the Cradle of Rest, which I believed to be an absolute safe zone, would have plummeted.
The reason why the door to rest was visible must have been because it was a death knight taking a step towards death.
After finishing the simple experiment, while waiting for a while, Jisoo came out with three camping chairs in the cradle.
Me, Ji-soo, and the muscle man sitting facing each other with the chairs open.
I heard about how I got the job from the muscle man.
‘That’s interesting. The body met death at the place where the job card was selected, and the death knight card that was created at that time was dramatically selected and revived. Should I call it lucky?’
Death Knight.
As a 4-star job, once a day, it is said to have a fraudulent passive skill that can turn the damage that leads to death into nothing.
Even if your head falls and your heart is pierced, you won’t die.
There’s even a passive that permanently raises your stats every time you experience death.
The bottom line is that every time you die, you become stronger.
Based on that skill, he was able to accumulate considerable stats until now.
After listening to the story, I was able to find common ground between this man and my subordinates.
That is, when the game is over, this man is over.
The body of the sick must return to its original state.
No, you said you were already dead when you chose your job.
Returning to a dead body is just death.
Anyone who has this in common… You can’t help but agree with my plan.
As expected, the man who heard my plan showed a very active interest.
“Even otherwise, I was very afraid of the future. For me, going back has nothing to do with dying. But if I can put it off indefinitely… I can do anything!”
“Are you okay? The people you lead… There must be quite a few people in the guild who want the world to go back to normal.”
The muscular man who snorts at my words and speaks.
“All of my guild members are people whose lives were saved by me. Since I saved their lives, shouldn’t they also work for mine?”
Oh well, that’s a good idea
I really like the way he pretends to be nice and doesn’t talk nonsense.
“Well, good. Then you can just think of helping me with my work in the future, right?”
“Of course. Although I have nothing to offer but strength, I will do my best to help you!”
The muscular man who speaks reassuringly.
With this, he was able to subjugate a strong ally and his forces.
It’s an unexpected harvest.
I said while looking at the muscular man who spoke firmly.
“Then, I wish you well in the future. Nothing will be different from usual. Uncle, please continue to grow your powers well. I will ask for help when I need it, so you can help me at that time.”
“I will. We need to think of a means of contact.”
As a means of contact
If it’s my subordinate, telepathy is possible, but I don’t need that kind of thing.
It’s not like that, so there’s this kind of trouble.
I said as I got up from my camping chair.
“The event dungeon is closed, let’s meet again. I also try to think of ways to contact them.”
The muscle man also got up and said.
“All right. We will probably move to the plaza we first entered. We will look for you there.”
The muscle man who is trying to turn around and go back to his party.
I called him up
“Wait a minute.”
“Yes?”
A muscular man looking at me with eyes asking if he has anything more to say.
“What if I just go? You must have something to give me.”
The muscle man who looked at me blankly for a moment was startled and wrapped his hand around it.
“Oh, you mean the subspace ring?”
“Of course. For my plan, I need to get first place in this dungeon to get an item. So, let’s leave the treasure and go.”
“Ha, but…”
“Ah, are you going to be like this from the beginning after you agreed to join my plan?”
The muscle man bit his lip and thought about it before handing me the subspace ring.
I laughed and said to the muscle man.
“The ring of subspace is done. Just take out the treasure and give it to me.”
A man whose face is at least as bright as my words.
He must have thought that it was fortunate that he even got the ring of subspace.
It’s a whopping 500 gold item, but I thought if I took even that away, there would be a resentment.
Muscle Man brought out two treasures and handed them to me, and I put them into the Cradle of Rest.
I looked at the muscle man and said with a smile.
“I have now collected 5 treasures. I don’t intend to collect any more treasures, so please collect only three more, up to a maximum of four. Then you can take second place. You know?”
With this old man’s strength, you can collect four treasures.
At my words, the muscle man nodded her head with a sullen face.
The muscle man who returned to the party.
After talking with the guild members for quite a long time, he looked this way, nodded slightly, and left.
The second day of the event dungeon.
I was able to collect all the treasures I wanted and even get valuable power.
This event dungeon.
It’s really honey.
