Chapter 94: 94
Dohyuk raised his eyebrow .
The ruler of the world . As far as he knew, this meant that person was a god . But-
"Right now?" Dohyuk asked . "I don't have time right now . You already wasted my precious hour . "
"I-I'm sorry! Th-the president told me to bring you r-r-right now…"
"So he has business with me? How long will it take?"
"Uh…"
It seemed like she was not aware .
"Okay . " Dohyuk waved his hand, "Whatever his business is, if I can return back when I need to, I'll accept the invitation . "
"OH!"
She brightened up immediately and handed over two tickets, one black and one white . Other than the two colors, they were the same as all the other tickets…
There was one difference . Dohyuk glanced at both tickets as he asked, "Which one is to 'go'?"
"The black one will take you directly to the president . If you rip the white…"
"It only takes me?"
"Huh?"
Dohyuk pointed at the unconscious child at the back .
"You see, I have company and this isn't a safe place to say the least . I need someone to watch the kid . "
"U-uh the ticket is very limited so…"
"Oh . Then it's very simple . " Dohyuk smiled, "You watch the kid then . "
"What?!"
"If anything happens to the kid, our deal is over . You know that, right?"
Marie tried to object, but Dohyuk ripped the ticket .
Dohyuk could smell hundreds of scented candles at once . He was in a large tent . There were colorful ornaments and carpets everywhere; the place was decorated lavishly . Dohyuk then felt that someone was watching him . However, he was still out of balance and focus from the teleportation .
"Are you… the president?"
"You haven't even seen me yet . "
He could hear the voice of a woman .
"Relax, control of yourself first . "
Dohyuk was surprised . The figure didn't seem to be small at all . Soon, he was able to see the president .
"Welcome, customer . "
She was a very tall woman . She was lying down on a long table, so it was hard to figure out exactly how tall, but she was definitely taller than Dohyuk . Like all the other merchants, she wore baggy clothing, but it was easy to notice that she wasn't plump at all .
"Here . "
She pointed at the floor in front of her . There was a plush cushion for Dohyuk to sit on, so he walked over and sat down . She sighed in astonishment .
"You really sat down . "
"…What do you mean?"
"Well, I didn't think we'd meet right away actually," she said as she let out smoke from her pipe . "I gave the ticket to Marie, but as you know, she's not the persuasive type . I thought I would have to wait until you had no other way but to rip the ticket . "
She was being honest - no one would dare to travel to someplace that did not guarantee safety . No one in the right mind would agree to that kind of invitation . If Dohyuk was clever, he would keep the ticket to escape the worst possible situation he might be trapped in .

"But you came anyway, so we'll talk . " She snapped her fingers, "I guess I still need to serve you with a feast . "
"Thanks for the offer, but I won't stay too long . "
"Hmm . "
"Let's keep it short and simple . "
"Do you think it is up to you?" she smiled teasingly at Dohyuk .
"That white ticket… you never know if it works until you try . "
"Right . "
"Then, don't you think you should be 'nice' to me for now?"
Dohyuk looked at her silently and spoke . "Well, I don't think you don't want me here too long either . "
"Why is that?'
Dohyuk then flashed the white ticket in his hand .
"This . You're not following the rules, are you?"
Dohyuk first realized it when he held the ticket . Everyone else might've noticed it as well if they had a chance to touch it . Unlike other tickets, no 'words' popped up from the black and white tickets . Dohyuk already knew what it meant for items to have ranks or descriptions that popped up .
"I'm sure the existence of these tickets is probably not allowed . I mean, if you can kill me and perfectly erase the fact that I was here, I would be screwed… but I'm guessing its easier for you to put me where I was originally instead . What do you think?"
"Hmmmm . "

The president puffed on the pipe and let out some steam again .
She grinned . "I see! That's what you had in mind . I was curious . "
The woman then scanned Dohyuk's body . "You were so tense… it was as if you were ready to die in the next second . I like the courage, but isn't it weird to see that from a man who carelessly ripped the ticket right away to come all the way here?"
A few men walked into the tent . Dohyuk turned, but there was nothing to worry about . It was the feast she had prepared .
"Enjoy . "
Dohyuk wasn't really interested in what she had prepared until a few seconds ago . He did not have time as he was also not too fond of other worlds . Like the cities of those Bermurans or vampiric creatures, most worlds were corrupt and distorted . Yet the feast in front of him was…
"It's different than what you expected, isn't it?" she said . Dohyuk did not look up . He felt the urge to jump into the feast . With fifteen dishes and three cups, the table was filled with foods in various colors and a delicious smell that tempted Dohyuk to dive in . It was the urge to eat that Dohyuk had forgotten for a while .
"It's okay to enjoy! It's for you, customer . "
Dohyuk hesitated for a bit before took up a fork and a knife . He then sliced the steak-like meat and put it into his mouth .
"How do you like it?"
"Is it wonderful? Are you amazed?"
Dohyuk chewed . Then he swallowed the food and put the utensils back down on the table .
"It's… good . "
"Haha! You are really something, customer . "
She spoke as she laughed and clapped . "Most of them are mistaken when they say that they lost all their senses while trying to survive! When they feel the pure 'joy' like this, they lose it . "

He understood what she was talking about . Even now, Dohyuk was resisting the urge to dive down to the table again and eat everything that was on it . His eyes did not stay on the table as he turned to the entrance of the tent where the men walked out .
"Why? Are you curious?"
Yes . Maybe this land was different, just based off the shape and taste of the food . It meant that this world had a civilization that prospered .
"I can show you around sometime . But as you said, we both don't have time on our hands right now . "
"…Right," Dohyuk nodded . "So, you are not a god . "
"Huh? Wow, you're going straight for it?"
"I waited enough for your introduction . It's my turn . "
"And you return when your time is up?"
"You have a problem with that?"
The president took puffed the pipe again . Dohyuk asked, "What are you… all of you?"
It was a simple but direct question . As he said, the president wasn't a god . And the merchants and men that walked into the tent were not 'corrupt' either . It was weird . Casita was determined to illuminate every single living . Yet, these people were part of this illumination and they were still holding themselves together .
"How…"
"How we managed to keep all this?" the president interrupted .
"It's simple . We fought," she simply stated as she adjusted her sitting position to directly face Dohyuk .
"Just like you did, Yoo Dohyuk . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
