My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 11

finishing (1)

I searched the village and gathered all the useful things in one place..

Of course, I only pointed, and the work was done by my subordinates, who numbered close to two hundred..

[Hmm, even though it was a slash-and-burn village, I expected that they would have a lot since it was occupied by warlocks. This is pretty good.]

After gathering up personal lodgings and belongings, they searched the village chief's house and found quite a bit of currency and precious metals that appeared to be public funds used during the operation..

[They must have stayed here for quite some time and used it a lot, but these guys were richer than you thought..]

I don't know much about the value of the currency here, but since gold coins are generally high-value currency, it must be a lot..

Above all, we also found several gold bars..

[···Is this really gold??]

How can I know because I have never touched gold in my life?.

I slowly opened my teeth and bit into the gold bar. Judging by the teeth marks, it must be real gold.?

Feeling suddenly better, I looked at other items..

It was decided to use the weapons and armor used by the minions on the undead..

What was more noticeable were the magic tools used by warlocks..

There were many tools that were helpful in living a comfortable life, starting with walking sticks and robes..

First, I put on a neat-looking robe..

This is a robe with temperature control and a simple defense function. Although the temperature control function is not necessary, the defense function would be helpful at least a little..

And isn't it possible to walk around naked with nothing but bones forever?.

[···Ah, this is a bit.]

I looked at the body wearing the robe and immediately took it off again..

Maybe it was because he only had bones in his body, but he didn't look good at all..

[Do this like this···.]

He wore cloth clothes, put on thick leather armor on top of his shoulders, and then put on a robe again..

[Well, this is better than before.]

After all, don’t men suck their shoulders?.

Next, I looked around at the wands and chose the one that looked best..

[Hey, Malcolm. Come here.]

[···yes.]

[Now, here. Take this for yourself. Give me what you have now.]

And I bartered with Malcolm..

I guess the one Malcolm used is the best one..

I took a stab at the floor with a skull staff with jewels for eyes..

The ground beneath my feet turned black, and the undead wearing all kinds of equipment and carrying loot sank to the ground one by one..

Finally, I looked around the village..

It was the first village in another world that I visited, but now it looked like a shabby place without a single living person..

I walked slowly and took in each of them with my eyes..

I passed by the pile of water and firewood of the village chief's house where I stayed, and passed a building that appeared to be the village hall where I had been trapped as an undead..

Grrrr—

Black flames erupted wherever they passed and burned down the village..

When I reached the center of the village with the fire on my back, I stopped for a moment..

A place where completely destroyed undead are gathered..

On one side, corpses that appeared to be the original villagers were lying together..

Most of the weakest zombies were destroyed during the battle..

There were quite a few zombies that could be revived, but I did not revive them and instead gathered them in the center of the village..

I made eye contact with the only surviving zombie standing in the center of the pile of corpses of villagers..

[Draw it···]

Although it was damaged here and there during the fierce battle, it was recognizable at a glance..

A young zombie who helped kill Zeraf with me..

I made eye contact with him for a moment, then bowed lightly and turned away..

Soon black flames burned everything..

He wanted to protect his loved ones, and it was only after his death that he completed all his revenge and went to rest with his family..

Grumbling—!

the whole village was on fire.

Eventually, I passed the wooden fence that I helped repair and approached the entrance to the village..

Due to the effects of the fire, I could now feel the barrier becoming blurred..

‘Detection of outsiders, concealment of dark magic, and even defense functions in case of emergency... The barriers inside are also of a very high standard.?’

In particular, the black magic concealment function was essential to all the barriers passed so far..

‘It must have been to hide the ‘Fragments of the Immortal King’..

‘Well, it doesn't mean anything now that you've become one with me..’

Still, it seemed useful, so as I learned from looking at the barriers, I built a dark magic cloaking field and wrapped it around my body..

It seems that dark magic is taboo, so it would be better to hide it if you can..

As I left the entrance, I set fire to the wooden fence..

Hwareuk— Hwareuk—

The flame lit with this magic will only burn where I want, and after everything turns to ash, it will die out naturally, so there is no need to worry about forest fires..

So I left the village I first visited and headed east into the forest..

***

Outerica Dimension, a sacred place in the middle of the continent..

Among them, in the chapel of the main temple of Roselia in the center, a girl was kneeling and praying in front of the statue of the main god..

A soft glow began to rest on the silver-haired girl who was praying with her hands clasped with her eyes closed..

Eventually, the light faded and the girl opened her eyes, slowly got up, bowed reverently to the statue, and carefully walked out the door of the chapel..

“Holy woman.”

Priests wearing pure white robes who were waiting outside the door approached and bowed their heads to the girl..

“Bishop Martin, can you please contact others??”

“yes? which···.”

The girl, Saint Riesta of the main church, looked towards the west with a stern expression..

“Signs of the resurrection of the Immortal King have been detected in the west..”

“Boo... Are you talking about the Immortal King? Okay, I'll let you know right away and call a meeting..”

Bishop Martin greeted the saint and hurriedly left the place..

The name of the Immortal King, who terrified the entire continent hundreds of years ago, was such a big issue..

‘I won't let that happen again.!’

The saint bit her lips, clenched her fists, and strengthened her resolve..

Hans thought there would be no problem as long as he kept his dark magic hidden, but the saint's abilities were beyond his imagination..

In this way, one of the continent's largest powers recognized Hans' existence and began tracking him down..

***

“Hmm... I'm craving soup today.”

Heinz, who was preparing to return home after exercising, headed to a nearby soup restaurant..

There was no need to worry about the menu..

“Here, please give me one piece of bean sprout soup, sundae soup, and beef head soup. Please pack the beef stew and seolleongtang. ah! Please give me some boiled pork too..”

I just had to order whatever I wanted..

As my appetite increased and I became more gluttonous, I found it fun to try a variety of different foods..

Still, if it were normal, I would have restrained myself a bit, but today I was in a really good mood, so I ate whatever I wanted and took out a lot of food..

‘Um... what's the price of gold these days?.’

I think the gold price has risen quite a bit due to the current situation..

I looked at the Internet while eating the soup that Heinz had packed..

When I roughly calculated it, I felt warm and full..

‘The soup at this place is delicious.’

Right now, Hans is moving east through the forest, so he couldn't get the gold bars right away, but it's almost as if he's already got it in his hands..

I felt like I would be lenient about everything now..

Even if you meet a troller in a team game, you can just smile and move on..

“No, what is that bastard doing over there?! Please come to work!”

Hmm... was that too much?.

We picked up and ate the packaged boiled pork together, and while watching Heinz play a game to help us digest it, we calmed ourselves down using “Mind Herb.”.

Peace came to my heart.

‘It will also help with mental training.?’

I cleaned up all the dishes and looked at Hans' situation..

After Hans became a demilich, he naturally radiated fear to those around him..

Now that the black magic is concealed, the effect is halved, so you only feel fear when you encounter it directly, but perhaps that was enough, as there weren't many attacks by demonic beasts..

The occasional beasts that attacked me only eased my boredom..

‘We're using them to increase the number of undead..’

It's already been a week since Hans left town..

I wondered if there really was a city in the east, and as my disbelief began to grow, as expected, I did not believe Malcolm's words, a fact suddenly occurred to me..

‘I've dealt with quite a few bad guys, so I think I've earned a lot of karma at this level.?’

Aren’t they guys who were plotting in secret? The level was also quite high..

I opened a Karma store in hopes of earning a handsome income..

『karma store』

『Strengthening unique skills (600,000)』

『Status Enhancement – ​​View Details』

『possess karma - 792,208』

Although I had some expectations, it was strangely generous..

‘Last time I checked, I think it was a little over 400,000... Were they that great? Or did I do something different??’

I thought about it for a while, but there was no other reason..

‘Well, I guess they were just that bad. Rather, let’s strengthen our unique skills.?’

In the first place, all I did was take the heart of the Immortal King and kill the warlocks..

《My mental strength has exceeded the standard. Acquire the skill “Mysterious Index”.》

When I strengthened my unique skill, the phrase “I acquired a new skill” came to mind along with a brief headache..

It was a skill that prevented the mind from being shaken by external stimuli and defended against mental attacks..

‘I have a “Mind Hub,” but it only applies to avatars. It would be better to have a skill that can be applied to the main body as well..’

And then I realized that I could use one more avatar. It was just the right time..

‘Because Hans has a hard time being active among people. Let's send Heinz away and use the new avatar for outside activities..’

Hans found traces of people passing by..

***

Hans was riding along a forest path on a giant saber tiger made of skulls..

While walking through a forest full of demonic beasts with several undead, including Malcolm, he turned the demonic beasts that attacked him into undead and used them as mounts..

‘It's faster to ride, and more than anything, it gives me style.!’

Isn’t being an undead wizard riding a skeletal beast a gamer’s dream?!

I thought it would be a good idea to hunt them in large numbers and create an undead riding class..

But there were no problems at all.···.

‘uncomfortable! It's so uncomfortable to be on top!’

Aren’t they undead with nothing but bones to begin with?.

It was no joke to rattle and shake every time I ran..

Also, it was crazy to be hanging without a saddle..

‘You won't fall if you put your feet between the ribs... This is something worth thinking about. Should we try making different types of undead for boarding??’

As I walked along the forest path, thinking about other things, the trees gradually became sparser and I soon realized that I had reached the end of the forest..

[···over there.]

Malcolm, riding a skeleton wolf, approached and pointed to a place with his finger bone..

When I looked that way, I saw a castle wall rising in the distance..

[Oh...there was a real city, right? MALCOLM The old man didn't lie..]

When I glanced at Malcolm, who was muttering and riding a skeleton wolf next to me, he flinched and slowly walked away..

Even after moving east for a few days, there was nothing to see but a forest, so he started pestering Malcolm whenever he got the chance..

Malcolm had no memories of his life, but that doesn't make his mistakes go away..

They made various excuses and tormented me..

‘Well, since they were undead with no pain and little emotion, it probably didn't mean much..’

I looked away from Malcolm and looked at the castle walls in the distance..

[good. Then let's move. you're in.]

There was no reason to crowd around the outskirts of the forest at once, so I decided to move alone from now on..

However, if I was caught going out of the forest as an undead, it could cause misunderstandings, so I did not leave the forest, but instead followed the edge and moved as close to the castle wall as possible..

Hans couldn't enter the castle, but he planned to move to the nearby area and then take turns with Heinz..

There is still one more day left until the Other World Transmission Line can be used again..

***

-Entity name: Heinz

-Common Attributes: 「Mind Herb」, 「Super Recovery」, 「Mysterious Index」」

-Object Characteristics: “Sturdy”」

-Special note: Han Seong-hyun's second avatar. Due to the influence of “Strongness,” his physical strength and physical strength increased..

Heinz finished transmitting and opened his eyes..

The castle wall that Hans discovered was visible in front of me..

It's quite a distance, but it was enough to walk for about an hour..

Then I turned my head to look at Hans and flinched without realizing it..

‘Oooh, look at that ugly thing.···.’

This was the first time Hans faced another avatar since he became undead, and the destructive power was greater than he expected..

The basic ability of a high-ranking undead demilich is the aura of fear and ominousness that seems to radiate from the whole body..

A skeleton wizard sits on the imposing skeleton of Sabel Tiger, holding a skeleton staff in his hand, looking down with glowing blue eyes..

It was truly fantastic synergy..

‘If I run into you in the middle of the night, I'm really going to pee..’

In fact, if it weren't for "Mind Herb" and "Myunggyejangsu", I would have been in the same situation now..

I’m like this myself, so how does it appear to others??

Just meeting him could have caused him trauma..

‘Hans is invisible to others..’

I started organizing to organize my thoughts and separate to our respective locations..

Heinz changed into the clothes and leather armor from another world that Hans had packed, and took weapons and a large amount of travel expenses..

Hans took some useful magic tools, including gold bars and precious metals, in his hands..

Since it was not clear whether it was possible to summon items from Earth, it was decided to safely take them directly..

And after a while, Heinz headed to the castle gate alone..
