Absolute person in every corner-Episode 74

[Episode 15] Ace Party (5) >

It was in a dark room..

'This is...?'

In one corner, there were traces of scorch, as if a fire had been lit, and in another corner, food, etc., could be seen gathered..

It was time to take a step out of curiosity about what was there..

In a snap

"...huh?"

A cold, slightly sticky sensation ran through the soles of my feet and shook my mind..

As soon as I realized it was blood, I saw the corpses of many people lying on the floor..

I could vividly see the images of people who couldn't even close their eyes, as if they had been unfairly treated, with pale skin, as if their blood had been sucked..

I was overwhelmed by the vivid scene of death..

at that time.

"Heo Eok!"

The corpses opened their eyes at the same time..

I was so shocked that I took a step back..

Tuk

Then I felt something hit the back of my calf and I turned around..

"Ugh. black."

children were crying.

Yang Hayun, representing the five children, was looking at me with a resentful expression, shedding thick tears..

"Why did you do that? Why did you accept bad people??"

"that.."

I wanted to make an excuse, but my mouth was so tight that I couldn't say anything..

I tried my best to open my mouth, but my body wouldn't listen..

The children were crying and blaming me..

"Ugh. It's because of you.”

"My mom died because of you.”

I felt dizzy and the children suddenly stopped crying..

The expressionless children looked at me and said.

"Help me. You can save my mom, right?."

How did those kids find out?.

Except for Oh Eon-ju, it was a fact that not even Ha Dong-geon's party knew in detail..

at that time.

"Jaehyun."

Owen's voice was heard from behind..

When I looked back, I saw Oh Eon-ju looking at me with sad eyes..

“You said it last time, right? It's not the last time.”

"Our Siwoo.. I miss Siwoo..”

Oh Eon-joo came up to me and grabbed my shoulder and begged..

"I've been working hard all this time. yes?"

Oh Eon-ju, with a cold expression, spoke to me who could not respond in any way..

"...Is it because it costs a lot of money? That's it.?"

Immediately after that, Owen's body swelled and the bear's maw opened towards me..

When I close my eyes tightly,

"Hehehehe"

The feeling that was pressing on me disappeared and I began to hear faint crying sounds..

When I slowly opened my eyes, there was Kim Ga-young, sobbing, holding a swollen corpse like a wet mouse..

Gayoung Kim, covered in tears, slowly raised her head and looked at me..

"Is it real? You can't save my dad? why?"

Ha Dong-gun, Kang Deok-su, and Kim Geon slowly turned around to Kim Ga-young, who was crying sadly..

They didn't say anything, but it seemed as if they were saying this to me..

Is there really nothing you can do for us who risked our lives to find your family?.

It seemed like he was asking that question.

At that time, the background became darker and people began to appear one by one..

They started approaching me like zombies, reaching for me..

I couldn't run away.

Because there were already people behind us..

They kept muttering and moving towards me..

"Jaehyun."

"Jaehyun!"

"Jaehyun Kim!"

My name rang like an echo here and there, and the hands of people who narrowed the distance reached me..

chin chin chin

"Ugh!"

Rough hands were pressing down on my whole body..

And the pain began from their touch..

It felt like my body was going to burst, like the pain of expanding my territory..

My head felt like it was going to explode.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!"

Immediately after that, I woke up from my dream..

"─Ouch!"

When I woke up and got out of bed, I instinctively groped my entire body..

It didn't hurt.

It was fine..

"Sigh, huh."

I took a deep breath and slowly realized that this was the living room of my house..

It seemed like Seo Ye-jin had moved it herself..

Thanks to you, I was able to sleep well.

'Although I had a very vivid nightmare.!'

The room was filled with darkness, probably because the blackout curtains were drawn and it was the middle of the night..

Just like the scene I just saw in my dream..

I turned on the fire using the Maintain Dignity skill..

flashing

The room became brighter and I was able to regain some peace of mind..

"Phew, Phew.."

They say I have nightmares every day, but today’s one was especially real..

Is it because I saw a corpse right in front of me?.

“Now that I think about it, why were those corpses left??"

Anyway, at that time, even vampires had acquired citizenship. Because you were in my territory.

However, the bodies of the citizens they killed remained intact..

'Are human corpses not accounted for? Or because you have citizenship.?'

Either way, it was a sight I didn't want to see again in the future..

It would be a good idea to create achievements specifically for vampires. Even if you take it by mistake, it won’t be a problem.

ring!

[Achievement settings are complete.]

If a person with citizenship becomes a vampire, his or her abilities are extremely limited, and he or she is given a mark on his or her face, just like a murderer..

This way you don't have to worry too much..

'There are 3 skill points!'

One of them had already been decided where to use it..

'Start by raising your store skills....'

[Every corner of the Absolute’s shop skill is Lv. It's been 6.]

[The number of items that can be registered has increased to 1000..]

[All products are discounted by 30%..]

Up to this point, the function was as expected..

In the case of stores, there used to be an additional 10% discount for each even level..

however.

['The ‘Enchant’ function is opened..]

[condition has been met.]

[‘Enchant Workshop’ has been added to the constructable items..]

This was an unexpected addition.

'Enchantment? Are you talking about that enchantment??'

From the looks of it, it seemed like an enchantment workshop needed to be built in order to enchant..

'construction mode'

Ugh—

The cost of building the newly added enchantment workshop was 5 billion won..

The enchantment workshop did not require a very large space compared to the price..

‘I could build it right next to the store.'

The place happened to be empty..

Even though Dabin Kim did his own cleaning, there were still traces of the goblin's contamination..

I thought I could organize them by building an enchantment workshop this time..

'Construction of an enchantment workshop'

ring!

[Please select a location to install the enchantment workshop..]

'102like'

[Time remaining until the construction of the enchantment workshop facility is completed]

-71Time 59 minutes 59 seconds

At that time, I was able to see a button under the remaining time that I had not normally seen..

{Completed immediately}

'hmm?'

Since it was my first time seeing this feature, I touched it without thinking..

[Would you like to complete the construction of the ‘Enchant Workshop’ facility immediately??]

[8 crystals are required for immediate completion of this facility..]

It seemed to have the effect of reducing construction time by about 10 hours per crystal..

Currently I have 100 crystals left..

Considering that you can obtain a divine power by collecting 300 crystals, you couldn't waste crystals like this..

'cancellation'

[Cancel completion immediately.]

‘Now that I think about it, it seems like there's an unconfirmed dungeon in the newly expanded area. I'll have to look for it..'

Even though I can't say for sure where, I have a rough idea of ​​the area where the dungeon was created..

'What dungeon is this time?'

I got quite a lot from conquering dungeons the other day, so I was quite excited about this one too..

'If you collect 200 more crystals, you can get one more miracle..'

Both the communication ring and the crown were very functional. If possible, it would be most efficient to use crystals only for magic draws..

‘Now there are two skill points remaining'

I felt like I needed to think a bit more about where to invest these..

'As my level goes up, it becomes more difficult to level up..'

30They said they didn't know when the level would come..

Perhaps because I had the frustrating experience of not being able to level up after completing all the store items, I had no choice but to be cautious about using skill points..

'In order to level up quickly, you must eventually hunt high-level monsters.'

Of course, the experience points given by small monsters were helpful, but it was nothing compared to a single high-level monster such as the advanced vampire that I hunted this time..

I felt happy thinking about Ha Dong-geon's party who made a great contribution to hunting down high-level vampires..

'Should I say that it is indeed an ace party?'

Ha Dong-geon's party held a grand ceremony as soon as he returned..

I earned billions by clearing out vampires, and in the end, I earned a whopping 36 billion by catching a high-level vampire..

Other hunting teams produce results on the first day of return that could be achieved even after a month..

It could truly be said to be an ace party..

'If you see it, you're lucky.!'

Aside from Moon Byeong-ho, who gave me many things from the beginning, Ha Dong-gun's party was lucky overall..

First of all, there were not many parties that encountered high-level monsters as often as Ha Dong-gun's party..

Even if they encountered high-level monsters, there was no party with the ability to hunt them or chase them away..

'The settlement amount and experience increase exponentially as the level increases.'

You could tell the difference just by looking at the similarity between killing hundreds of goblins below level 10 and killing one orc in the late 10s..

Even in terms of experience, one orc had more experience..

This phenomenon tended to get worse the higher you went..

A difference of just one level can make a difference of billions..

'The problem is that there are very few monsters at that level, and they are dangerous.'

This time, thanks to the great performance of Ha Dong-gun's party, we were able to hunt down a high-level vampire, but honestly, it was very dangerous..

'If there were two high-level vampires, even Ha Dong-gun's party wouldn't have been able to attack them without damage.'

Ultimately, in order to level up quickly, you must hunt high-level monsters, but high-level monsters are few in number and hunting them involves great risk..

'There is no guarantee that you will be lucky enough to encounter high-level monsters in the future.'

I had no intention of going out of my way to look for high-level monsters..

In that case, the level-up speed would inevitably slow down..

‘So let's leave the skill points aside for now.'

30You could end up filling up all the store slots again before reaching the level..

'eyes of the absolute'

Out of habit, I opened my eyes to the Absolute and the first thing I did was check on Choi Hyeong-jun's, who had entrusted the children to me..

Seven children, including Na-yeon Choi and Seo-yeon Choi, were sleeping intertwined with each other on blankets on the living room floor..

As children, it seemed like they had become quite close in just one day..

'After that'

I looked at the floor directly below where Kang Deok-soo and Kim Geon live..

This place, which had been given to Ha Dong-geon's party, was now occupied by Kang Deok-soo and Kim Geon..

In the case of Moon Byeong-ho, he was living with his grandmother in another generation that I gave away, and in the case of Yoo Hye-rin, he was staying in Kim Da-jeong's house with Oh Eon-ju..

"Druuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu."

There were still empty liquor bottles rolling around, but Kang Deok-soo and Kim Gun were not drunk and fell asleep..

Next, we naturally looked around room 2902, which is Kim Da-jeong’s house..

I thought everyone was asleep, but Oh Eon-ju was the only one awake..

She was looking through Si-woo's photos on her now-old smartphone..

........

He used the communication ring on Oh Eon-joo, who was quietly flipping through photos on the living room sofa..

[Mr. Oh Eon-ju.]

Oh Eon-joo, startled, raised her head..

[Can you come up for a moment??]

There was one thing I wanted to ask.

When I opened the front door, Oh Eon-ju carefully came inside and waited for my question..

-This vampire would have been worth the quest, so why didn't you ask for a chance??"

"ah......."

Although I said it back, Oh Eon-ju realized that the topic I was talking about was 'resurrection' when I heard the word 'quest'..

After thinking for a moment, Oh Eon-ju spoke up..

"I experienced a miracle that day. Thanks to Jaehyun.."

She made a bitter expression and continued speaking..

"But after that, I saw Gayoung's father pass away, and I thought a lot about my colleagues who lost their families. I also heard Dajeong’s story.."

"I felt a lot while watching everyone hurt and having a hard time. If I continue to insist on wanting to see Siwoo, it will definitely become a problem someday. If the tail is long, you can get caught. I thought that Jaehyun might have a hard time because of this, and that this society, which has barely regained stability, might become confused. I don't want my son to be a source of trouble.."

"that...."

“Everyone is embracing similar pain and living despite it, so I concluded that I don't have to be special.."

Oh Eon-ju bent down towards me and said with a smile..

“Thank you for giving me and Siwoo a miracle. Being given the gift of time to say goodbye... it still feels like a dream. I received great comfort."

Her expression was completely different from when we first met..

Unlike back then, when I was unstable, I felt a sense of stability in his gentle expression..

"Thank you for caring me. good night.”

I once again realized that she was much more mature than me..

For some reason, her words about being comforted gave me comfort..

I felt like I could sleep peacefully if I went to sleep now..

After that.

A month passed quickly..
