[Book of the Dead]
-Rank: E
-Effect:
-This book contains the power of Osiris .
-Can seal the dead .
-The dead, sealed in the Book of the Dead, can display even more power with the power of Osiris .
The Book of the Dead . It could simply be called a dedicated inventory for undead monsters .
‘At E rank I can use 10 pages?’
The space available at the E rank was only enough for 10 undead monsters . (TL: our author likes to reiterate things a lot, gomenasai)
The way to use it was rather simple . When using the Book of the Dead skill, a book made out of slabs would appear with the undead monsters that were sealed within appearing on the faces of the slabs .
‘It seems Johann Georg didn’t have this one…’
Kim Woo-jin had no memory of this skill . The King of Undead had never summoned any book like this before .
‘If he did, it would’ve been terrible . ’
Thank goodness .
At that time, Kim Woo-jin was able to catch the King of Undead because he was constrained by the fact that he had to fulfill the conditions before he could summon his skeletons .
But what if he was able to summon his skeletons without conditions like this?
Kim Woo-jin wouldn’t have even needed to be betrayed .
In other words, it was a terribly useful skill .
Removing the conditions for the Summon Skeleton skill was basically removing it’s only limitations . And in the case of a Skeleton Soldier sealed in the Book of the Dead with the effect of Ruler of the Battlefield accumulated beforehand, the effect would remain . (TL: someone call the GM, this is too broken, I think he’s using hacks!)
‘They can even wear items . ’
Even the items worn by the Skeleton Soldiers would remain stored on them in the Book of the Dead . This alone was already incredible .
[The Power of Osiris infects the Skeleton Soldiers . ]
[All Skeleton Soldier stats increased by 20%] (TL: I assume this means all the skeletons stored and not all that he has)
But there was still more good news . At that time, a notification sounded in Kim Woo-jin’s ear .
[Your level has increased . ]
When Kim Woo-jin lifted his head to look at the notification, a red mist that was floating in the jungle, caught his eye . (TL: and the secret of speed leveling has been revealed)
[Lizardman has been afflicted by Blood Mist]
As this notification appeared, Kim Woo-jin saw a Lizardman falling to the ground without any obvious wounds .
Kim Woo-jin rose from his seat on the ground .
‘Now it’s time to go into the tiger’s cave . ’
…
At a golf course in Yongin city, Gyeonggi province .
A lush field had grown because the golf course had been closed for a long time . And above that field, was the distorted space that represented a dungeon gate .
Suddenly, a man appeared in front of the gate .
The dungeon gate, which was large enough to fit a car in, could not be considered small, yet the man who’s size was enormous, made it appear slightly small now .
When the man appeared, he immediately collapsed on his knees .
“Ugh . ”
At the same time as he appeared, a woman could be seen approaching him hurriedly, her face filled with worry .
“Mr . Lee Jin-ah, what are you doing?”
As he heard the words of the remarkably beautiful woman, Lee Jin-ah looked up .
“My stomach…”
“Did you injure your stomach?”
“…hungry . ”
“Yes?”(TL: I think I explained it before, but sometimes they say ‘yes’ in place of ‘what’, ‘huh’, etc, I don’t put ‘what’ or ‘how’ because it doesn’t necessarily have the same feeling)
Then a new character appeared before the dungeon gate . When he appeared, he glanced at the man at the ground before calmly walking past him .
Lee Jin-ah looked up as Kim Woo-jin walked past him and complained .
“Even slaves were given breaks to eat rice…”
Up until the seventh day, hunting with Kim Woo-jin had been easy . However, from the eight-day, it’s like Kim Woo-jin took a shot .
Now that they only had three days left to hunt, he proceeded at a much faster pace(a sprint) .
Not surprisingly, the sprint that they had at the end was seemingly too much for Lee Jin-ah .
In particular, during the last three hours, before they left, Kim Woo-jin didn’t even give him the chance to drink water . (TL: I’ll be honest…I feel kinda bad for Lee Jin-ah, he’s so undervalued and underpaid, and he’s always being bullied by Woo-jin and Se-chan . )
“That devil . ”
He was a monster that could easily be mistaken as the devil .
‘No, it might be better for those he targets to fight with the devil instead . ’
Of course, Lee Jin-ah didn’t call him the devil simply because Kim Woo-jin was evil .
He looked at him . The way Kim Woo-jin used his newly acquired skills in conjunction with his older ones was eye opening .
‘No one should ever try to fight him . ’
Lee Jin-ah strengthened his resolve while looking at Kim Woo-jin’s back .
The woman who’d come to check on him, looked at Lee Jin-ah with an odd expression .
Then Kim Woo-jin turned his head to her .
“Can you contact Oh Se-chan?”
“Yes? Yes!”
The woman awoke from her stupor and took out a phone that had already been prepared . The woman immediately dialed a number then handed the phone over to Kim Woo-jin .
While this was happening, Lee Jin-ah still didn’t get up from the ground .
“What are you contacting Se-chan for?”
Kim Woo-jin replied to the question easily . (TL: omg one of the few times he doesn’t ignore Jin-ah)
“I have an order . ”
“An order?”
When Kim Woo-jin nodded, Lee Jin-ah looked at him in delight .
“Then I want a jumbo sized tray of Rajogi1 . Oh and add rice balls . ”
Kim Woo-jin looked down at Lee Jin-ah with an absurd expression on his face .
‘I think he was too comfortable while hunting . ’
Ttuk!
Then Oh Se-chan answered the call .
-Yeah, what’s up?
The moment he heard Oh Se-chan’s voice from the phone, Kim Woo-jin immediately stated his request .
“I want to go to Kaesong . ” (TL: and here I thought Woo-jin was being nice, how naive of me . )
…
Hansung Group .
The number one group in Korea’s business community and one of the world’s most influential companies was once doubted when they became the patrons of the Messiah Guild .
Why make such an investment that won’t make you any money .
But it had been 4 years since the world became like a game and by 2023 no one dared to doubt them .
The Hansung Group, the Messiah Guild’s supporter, could be said to be one of the most influential in the world .
According to the Messiah Guild, the Hansung Group was a company made to save the world, not to seek after profits .
Unsurprisingly, everything relating to the Messiah Guild had the hands of the Hansung Group in it . And sitting at the very top of the Hansung Group was none other than Park Shin-hye, the Goddess of the Messiah Guild . Not only did she have the title of chairman, but she was practically the ruler of the Hansung Group .
Because of this, she could stand in front of anyone with a proud and confident smile .
But recently her expressions were not that good . The reason wasn’t good .
“Is there still no news from Kim Je-hoon?”
“Yes, there were signs showing he went to Europe but he disappeared after hiding his tracks . ”
“Is he dead?”
“It seems so . ”
“Then where’s the body?”
“That…”
“Please get the body . Whatever the cost . ”
It was because a crack had appeared in a plan that should’ve been more than perfect .
“How are things with Park Yong-wan?”
“Currently, I’m pruning the branches around him . ”
“I don’t care about the branches . What I’m asking is when will you go for his throat?”
“Once I’ve gathered all the information on Park Yong-wan’s actions, I’ll make a move . You should see results by early next year . ”
“That means for the next half year Park Yong-wan would be able to act freely, we can’t have that . ”
There were other troubles that she couldn’t get rid of right away .
‘Park Yong-wan was a card I’d created to sacrifice when necessary, but it seems I raised it too much . ’ (TL: oooh plot twist . )
Park Shin-hye sighed briefly .
‘Why is everything becoming so complicated?”
“What about that guy?”
“That guy…”
“The one who became Park Yong-wan’s right hand . The guy who contacted Kim Je-hoon on behalf of Park Yong-wan . ” (TL: Kim Je-hoon must be spinning like a top in his grave)
“You mean Kim Woo-jin?”
Kim Woo-jin, the name that had been faint in her mind, immediately became fresh once again .
“That’s right . ”
“I’m trying to get to him, but he is being protected . It seems Park Yong-wan and the Phoenix Guild intend to nurture him . ”
“Who doesn’t know that? What I want to know is how you’re going to deal with him . ”
As they heard the words that Park Shin-hye said, her general secretary bowed their head toward her .
“I have established a team to catch Kim Woo-jin . ”
“Who is the leader?”
“It’s Suzuki . ”
For the first time in a while, Park Shin-hye nodded her head in satisfaction .
‘As the owner of Lancelot’s Ring, they’re reliable . ’ (TL: is this another item for our mc? Thanks, thanks)
“So where are they?”
“They’re currently waiting in the Kaesong Special Zone . If Kim Woo-jin shows an opening, they will move to capture him immediately . Of course, they will make sure to get all the information out of him before they kill him . ”
At that Park Shin-hye nodded and immediately stopped thinking about Kim Woo-jin . Instead her mind turned to another name .
“What about Isaac Ivanov? Do you think we can make him one of us?”
“I think we can use him in the future . Regardless of his intentions, we will have to be friendly for the time being as he has shown friendliness to our side . ”
“Okay, plan the strategy for an undefeated dungeon around him . Use him as much as you can . ”
“We already have an rank dungeon in Hokkaido, Japan in mind . ”
Only then did Park Shin-hye’s somewhat tense expression relax .
‘I’m glad I finally got a useful hunting dog . ’
