Damn Necromancer (136)
Sky Auction House
A thousand people wearing masks gathered in one place.
The mask given here had a special function.
When worn, it changes your body shape and voice. Of course, you can take it off if you want, but usually you keep wearing it until the auction ends.
This was because there was no need to reveal his identity.
Nevertheless, I look around diligently.
‘I guess he wasn’t invited?’
It was because of Kim Min-woo, the hottest awakened person these days.
Originally, there was nothing to worry about.
Because it was very difficult to get an invitation to the Sky Auction House.
It was generally accepted that awakened people below level 500 would never receive an invitation no matter what they did. That’s because in the low-level section, if your reputation is high, how high will it be, and if you have a lot of assets, how much will it be?
In fact, there were many examples.
The awakening of the riches of the Middle East and Arab countries.
They were celebrities whose personal assets were worth tens of trillions of won and whose names were known to the public. There were many cases where even they did not receive invitations to the Sky Auction House.
The story of a wealthy man in the Middle East who was so upset that he started receiving invitations only after being bullied to level 600 was so famous that it became so famous.
However, the structure was not that good as to whether high-level awakened people would receive invitations easily.
This was because even though the requirements for reputation and level were met, there were many cases where the scale of assets was a challenge.
A structure where the higher you go, the more money you spend.
Even among world rankers, there were frequent cases where the size of assets did not exceed trillion units.
Most of the time, this is done while trying to strengthen A or S level skill books.
Anyway.
‘It’s normal not to get it… … .’
Although Minwoo Kim had many unique characteristics, there were too many of them.
It’s been 5 months since I woke up.
However, it was known that the number of NewTube subscribers was already 100 million and its assets were well over 40 trillion won.
This is also just a minimum figure.
In the world, it was widely known that they had received something from China and Saudi Arabia. But you have to hit the level well to get to level 300.
There has never been an awakened person like this before, and there will be no one other than Kim Min-woo in the future.
Did he really receive an invitation?
Every time reporters asked me a related question, I would say, “I don’t know,” and smirk.
‘Please, take it from next year.’
Awakenings of powerful countries including Japan, India, Russia, and Canada.
They prayed earnestly in their hearts.
―Necromancer equipment, be sure to get it.
A strong directive from the government.
Even if there was an excellent Awakening, if the equipment did not support it, it would inevitably be reduced to half a person.
Each government’s position is to somehow obtain equipment as they have converted SS-class people to necromancers… … .
‘If Minwoo Kim had been invited… … .’
‘How much do I have to pay?’
It was obvious that competition would intensify, so they provided more generous subsidies than usual, but in fact, it felt like it wasn’t enough.
at that time.
Something appeared on the stage of the auction house.
It was a creature that resembled a clown.
―All awakened people who have overcome countless competitions and come to the Sky Auction House! I, Rastan, welcome everyone!
Pubububung!
As Pierrot spoke, colorful fireworks exploded everywhere.
Soon Rastan looked around and said with a grin.
―A lot of really cool stuff arrived this year too! Even, ‘special items’ exclusive to our auction house will be uploaded.
Special items.
It was not an item posted by awakened people, but one of the items put up for sale by the auction house itself.
Sometimes it comes up every year, sometimes it doesn’t.
As the title suggests, quite special items are being uploaded.
The problem was that the minimum bid was very high.
Items whose prices are so high that even powerful countries find it difficult to purchase one. Usually, it would come out last in the auction.
―The auction order is simple! First, items posted by awakened people on the Earth side will appear, and then special items will be posted! Take a look at the catalog!
A hologram appeared before the eyes of the awakened people. Details along with the items to be auctioned appeared on the hologram.
A total of 157 legendary grade items.
There were only two ancient grades.
There was nothing too strange.
In the first place, there were not many cases where ancient grade items were sent to the auction house.
To meet the quota for each country, we export legends, not high-level players. Would you be crazy enough to sell such a rating?
They say they usually don’t have enough for their own use.
Minwoo Kim looked at the items.
‘Korea University is both a failure. ‘It doesn’t even have any properties.’
A Druid armor and a two-handed sword appeared.
This one has a commanding sword, and Siu uses a holy sword. Cedric uses a dedicated weapon called a bone spear, so if he uses a two-handed sword, he can fit a durahan.
The level limit was 400, so Dullahans who were still at a low level couldn’t even touch it.

‘I’ll have to hope that something good comes out of the special items.’
If things continue like this, only Legends will be able to open a store.
In order to comfortably spend the money I had already saved, I had to get a lottery ticket from a special item.
I looked at the list of special items.
[Auction house special items]
[Showed at the start of the special auction.]
[One. ???]
[2. ???]
Two items.
What would pop out of there was purely random.
‘First, we have to sweep up the legends.’
Exclusive equipment for guild members and corps commanders.
And accessories, attribute items, and even necromancer equipment.
Of the 157, there were a total of about 50 worth buying here.
―For a smooth auction, let’s activate the interpretation function! Everything will make sense now! Is there something you want to buy? great. Pay the money. If possible, as many as possible! Then, the general auction begins!
[The first item, ‘Clairsight Helmet’, will be on display!]
[Clairsight Helmet]
[Grade: Legend]
[Restrictions: Level 400 or higher, ranged occupation.]
[A helmet with mysterious eyes that can see far into the distance. Provides sharp vision to the wearer.]
[Effect 1. The wearer’s field of view increases by 1.5 times.]
[Effect 2. The wearer is able to detect the weaknesses of distant enemies with a certain probability.]
[Effect 3. Damage to enemies whose weaknesses are detected increases by 20%.]
‘oh.’
What I had been eyeing from the first item came out. Coincidentally, the helmet is the equipment that Seo Ye-rim did not get in the last box gang.
The other awakened people also had their eyes shining in the same way.
Because it was a very simple yet high-performing item.
“120 billion.”
“180 billion.”
“220 billion.”
The asking price rises instantly.
Kim Min-woo, who was watching carefully, called out the price.
“300 billion.”
“… … 330 billion.”
“400 billion.”
“… … 450 billion.”
“500 billion.”
“… … .”
The other person frowned.
‘Holy shit.’
Clairvoyance Helmet?
It’s definitely a good item.
450 billion was the final price called.
Honestly, it feels like it goes beyond the regular price.
But every time the call was called, they raised it by 100 billion and it was almost out of breath.
‘Should I scream more?’
The other side, who had been rolling their eyes, eventually sighed in resignation.
Money was limited, and the structure was such that if the next price was called and even if the other side gave up, the asking price had to be overturned at once. The other side didn’t have the guts to handle that.
-Is there nothing? 500 billion. three. two. one. Participant number 7, congratulations on your winning bid!
[Participant number 7 used the ‘clairvoyant helmet’… … .]
[Participant number 7 wears ‘lava armor’… … .]
[Participant number 7 uses ‘Boots of the Gale’… … .]
[Participant number 7 received the ‘Ring of Courage’… … .]
.
.
Number 7 going crazy.
Equipment was being swept away like a bunch of beggars who had starved for seven days.
They raised the asking price even higher, as if it didn’t matter, to the point where there was no answer at all.
Even the US doesn’t buy equipment that ignorantly.
‘Do you also buy necromancer equipment?’
‘No way is that…’ … .’
Are you Kim Min-woo?
If they had participated with the support of the state like most of the awakened people in the first place, it would have been impossible to show such spirit.
Because it is paid with government money, not my own money.
‘They keep raising the price like a crazy person… … .’
‘Why don’t you try jumping on the bandwagon properly?’
The eyes of some awakened people lit up.
While buying ten pieces of equipment, they raised the asking price as if there were no brakes.
So far, I’ve been a bit lost in that spirit.
The first ten items were close to the search, so I easily gave up on the equipment if I thought the price was just a little over the appropriate price.
And what was the result?
Aren’t you getting all your equipment for a price that’s not much different from the list price than you think?
It was difficult to keep it like this.
He’s already a rich guy.
‘Then we have to keep it in check.’
Shouldn’t Kim Min-woo’s money be reduced from now on so that he can save money on future equipment?
Awakening people quietly winking at each other.
Among them was Manato, a Japanese awakened person wearing a fox mask.
In case Kim Min-woo participated, countries with SS-level necromancers secretly set up cooperation signals.
Japan was also one of those countries. The main content was simple.
When Kim Min-woo is discovered, each country raises prices and reduces his wealth. The role of the wind catcher that the arc will raise has also been determined.
The first turn was Japan.
Minwoo Kim.
An awakened person who recently went against Japan’s will and was completely destroyed. The next item was necromancer equipment.
‘You won’t be able to take it too well.’
Coincidentally, Japan is also in desperate need of necromancer equipment.
Do you have a lot of money?
Okay, take it.
Instead, you pay a lot of passing fees.
His eyes were filled with venom.
Soon after, the next item was submitted.
[The eleventh item, ‘Rotten Bone Boots’… … .]
Minwoo Kim looked at the goods.
Rotten Bone Boots.
The rating is legendary.
Looking at the detailed description, it was an item with similar performance to the ghost walk I got from the last box.
I looked around.
Awakened people staring at rotten bone boots with shining eyes.
Among the previous ten auction items, there was one necromancer equipment.
Necromancer exclusive armor from the 8th volume.
The options were good so I bought it because the price was crazy.
Because of my energetic appearance, the competition wasn’t as good as I thought.
On the other hand, this time… … .
‘It’s going to catch fire.’
Since you bought about 10 pieces of equipment at a price that was less expensive than you thought, you may be starting to feel impatient.
Since the auction houses are competitive with each other, it was not surprising that they wanted to keep a check on each other.
There’s just one thing they didn’t think of.
‘It’s the same here too.’
To keep others in check and kill them?
Minwoo Kim had no reason not to do that.
Just in time, a good item came out.
It’s a necromancer-only item, but it’s a good option, right?
It is an item that other awakened people would be greedy for.
Considering the effects alone, it seems like it would be worth about 600 billion won.
‘I guess I’ll have to set a fire and blow one up.’
It will be a good warning to those who are trying to do something foolish.
As many aspiring necromancers were born, there was a high possibility that the asking price would continue to rise.
“400 billion.”
“430 billion.”
“470 billion.”
As expected, the asking price keeps rising.
Minwoo Kim also sneaked into this battlefield.
“600 billion.”
A moment of silence.
Several Awakened people, including one wearing a fox mask, jumped into the auction.
Up to 700, 800, and 900 billion won.
The price range rose in an instant.
Minwoo Kim sang the next song in a relaxed manner.
“group 1.”
As soon as the trillion mark was reached, the awakened people slowly fell back as if they had reached the trillion mark.
Manato looked at Kim Min-woo.
Rotten Bone Boots.
The option was okay, but honestly, it wasn’t good enough to cost well over a trillion dollars.
Nevertheless, I called the first group without hesitation.
If you think about it another way, it could be said that Kim Min-woo covets those shoes that much.
‘Wouldn’t it be okay if I screamed a little more?’
Looking at the guy’s current momentum, he seemed like he would continue to play like a bully even if the asking price was raised.
“… … 1.05 trillion.”
“1 trillion.”
A fox mask that is silent for a moment as the tiger protrudes straight out.
You might be wondering whether to stop here or not.
Minwoo Kim looked at the guy and grinned.
I’ve only done one or two auctions before.
Eyes full of greed.
That guy is the type of person who will eventually be unable to overcome his greed and set fire to a powder keg.
The moment I shrugged my shoulders as if I still had some time to spare.
“… … 1.2 trillion.”
He gritted his teeth and called out the next price.
-iced coffee! 1.2 trillion won! Do you have any plans to call me more?
I shook my head.
‘Just up to here.’
If you call him any further, he will also leave satisfied.
Then it won’t work.
That moment.
It was probably not an illusion that the fox mask’s complexion seemed to have turned pale.
Asking 1.2 trillion for 600 billion?
If you have that much spirit, you should give it up.
-1.2 trillion won. three. two. one. Participant number 13, congratulations on your winning bid!
The awakened person with the fox mask flopped down in his seat as if his legs had lost strength.
I waved at the guy.
It’s the necromancer’s dream equipment, so I’m sure it will be put to good use.
Or not.
I looked around at the awakened people.
The awakened people are showing a wary look in their eyes, as if they have finally realized that this side can be screwed in the same way.
Of the 157 pieces of equipment, about 50 are needed here.
In other words, 107 items are not really necessary.
So, I just tried to stay still and not make a fuss.
‘also.’
People should not live good lives.
Since it stays still, don’t you think it’s a real bale? They’re already trying to keep me in check.
Looking at that disturbing air earlier, what if the fox mask’s gamble had succeeded?
There would probably have been an uproar because it was all good.
‘I guess I’ll have to mess around too.’
I need to get some discipline.
* * *
Up to auction of 157 items and ancient items.
The eventful first half has come to an end.
‘damn.’
‘Is he really crazy?’
The awakened people looked at number 7, Kim Min-woo, with a look of boredom.
Bidding on every item presented.
Even equipment for all kinds of minor occupations contributed well to raising the asking price. Everything started to bubble.
Since they have swept up all kinds of equipment, not just necromancer equipment, it is unclear whether this is a ploy to raise the asking price or if they are really trying to buy it.
Since it was impossible to go back without buying anything just because it was expensive, the awakened people also started participating in the auction, crying and eating mustard.
As a result.
-Oh oh! Amazing! The average winning bid price for 157 items is around 600 billion won each! A whopping 20% increase compared to last year! It seems that the Earth’s economic situation has also improved a lot.
The only thing I got to know was Piero, who spoke with his nose flashing excitedly.
Awakened people who cry.
On the other hand, Minwoo Kim.
‘Well, this isn’t a bad purchase.’
I was shrugging my shoulders at the somewhat satisfactory results.
I swept up all 50 items I wanted.
The amount spent is approximately 40 trillion won.
I paid a little more because there were a few accessories mixed in, but given the nature of an auction, it is strange to expect people to buy it at cost price.
Isn’t there a situation where there are a lot of competitors?
If I hadn’t messed up in the middle, it would have cost 50 or 60 trillion won instead of 40 trillion.
Even after spending this much, I still had a lot of money left over. It was all thanks to generous donations.
at that time.
Rastan said while looking around.
-Okay, the auction of Earth-side items is over. Shall we start the real auction now?
The awakened people’s eyes lit up.
Special items.
It doesn’t come out every year, but every time it comes out, there’s something in common. These are really decent items, with the minimum bid usually starting at 10 trillion won.
―Announcing the first special item of the year!
[The first special item list is revealed.]
[‘The Dice of Destiny’ is revealed!]
Dice of Destiny?
The eyes of the awakened people focused on the small dice placed on Rastan’s hand.
The same was true for Kim Min-woo.
