Money-grubbing Necromancer (231)
I can see Incheon Airport in the distance.
Seo Yoon Lee got out of the car and approached the airport. Although she was a celebrity, no one on the street recognized her.
This was because she had a brown wig on her head and large sunglasses on her face. Even if she had changed her appearance just a little bit, not many people would have remembered Lee Seo-yoon, who was already on the missing persons list.
We waited inside for a moment, and then an announcement came out.
―Boarding for Philippine Airlines Flight 456 to Davao Francisco Bangai International Airport is now underway. Boarding gate is 20.
She boarded the plane, dragging a huge trunk behind her.
She sat in first class and crossed her legs.
“Wow. The Philippines, which isn’t even in my fortune… … .”
Lee Seo-yoon sighed.
It was fortunate that we received a generous amount of activity expenses before departure.
‘Bait… … .’
The order given by Kim Min-woo was simple.
To attract shadows and delve inside, the first priority is to make contact with the shadows.
‘There is no place as good as a third country.’
Awakening is fair.
It’s not like S-class Awakened people just pop up in the US and S-class Awakened people don’t pop up in Africa.
In other words, there is no better place for Shadow to fill its personnel than a third country. So why the Philippines of all places?
It was simple.
Because English is the official language in the Philippines.
Additional reasons could include the fact that there are many tourists, so foreigners can enter and leave freely, it is not completely blocked by gates, and it is an island country, so secret activities are possible.
Anyway.
Lee Seo-yoon has been selected to go to the Philippines.
As we approached the boarding gate, we saw a security checkpoint.
Lee Seo-yoon concentrated for a moment.
Knock knock.
The internal organs move around wildly like a living creature, changing positions and creating realistic shapes by imitating the structure of the human body.
As a bonus, my body temperature started to rise rapidly.
Shadow Walker was a natural-born assassin, with the ability to ‘impersonate’ his targets.
If it’s human, it’s human. If it’s a different race, it’s a different race. It was one of those racial characteristics that wasn’t even on the skill list.
Lee Seo-yoon instinctively realized this fact an hour after being summoned.
‘Shadow Walker… …might be worth it?’
Of course, it wasn’t an ability without its drawbacks. Compared to a doppelganger who perfectly imitates the target, it was a far inferior ability. It was only at the level of making it look plausible.
Even if you use it for a short time, the amount of mana consumed is enormous. It could be said that it is an ability that is difficult to utilize unless it is a critical moment.
Now was the critical time.
Because the security checkpoints at the airport were equipped with analyzers that could thoroughly check everything from body temperature to the inside of the human body.
– Beep. All right. Passed.
“Huh.”
She entered the plane with a pleasant snort.
Her seat, of course, was first class, as she had received generous support. She sat down on the soft chair and looked at the stewardess.
“hey.”
“Yes, sir. Do you have any requests?”
“Please boil me some ramen. Add some red pepper powder so it’s spicy.”
“All right.”
She then furrowed her brows as she inhaled the steaming ramen.
“Ouch! Hey! Over there! Put this away!”
The stewardess approached Lee Seo-yoon, looking intimidated at the sight of her losing her temper.
“Hey, does it taste strange to you?”
“No, that’s not it. I just don’t have an appetite. It’s not a big deal, so don’t worry about it and just clean it up.”
“Understood, sir.”
Damn, shit!
Shadow Walker was certainly a great undead, but it didn’t stop him from losing his senses. It was still the same. He could only feel the texture of the noodles breaking off, but he couldn’t taste the spiciness or the savory flavor of the soup at all.
Because you’re like f*cking Kim Min-woo.
After swearing inwardly, I took out my cell phone.
A number of articles popped up on the newly opened phone.
Among them, the one I looked into in detail was the article about Kim Min-woo. To be exact, it was a list of articles from the moment of her death until now.
Although most of the hidden gate’s actions were unclear, one thing was certain.
“… … You’ve become a monster.”
I checked the date.
End of July.
The year was still the same as the year he died.
However, a newbie who had to play well to be a level 50 player was now listed on the world ranking list. And he was ranked very high at 157th place.
The Ilseong Group he was a part of rose from the top 20 to the top 10 in the world’s business world rankings.
Seo Ye-rim, who I had secretly considered my rival, had been recruited into the Donjiral Guild with the ridiculous nickname of Shingung…
“Ha, right.”

[(Breaking News) Balkan, humanization possible? Showing off the appearance of a truly dazzling flower boy… … .]
He had become a super big shot, with tens of thousands, if not thousands, of articles being written about him once he started working.
How could even an ordinary article have a taste of patriotic sentiment?
Unless you were brainwashed as a group like me, then probably… … .
‘It must be because of the performance you’ve shown so far… … .’
It was definitely a big deal.
Just looking at the big ones, he broke the gate record, established a guild, taught Korean guilds, and came in first place in the Super Rookie Selection…
The highest level elixir was released in Korea, the Griff family in Germany was destroyed, all the necromancers were praising Kim Min-woo, and the necromancers who came out of the meeting started a religion and started idolizing Kim Min-woo… … .
“What kind of death cult is this? With that naming sense… … .”
Lee Seo-yoon, who used to scoff at the name that sounded like some third-rate fandom, was shocked when she saw the number of members in the fan cafe.
… … 13 million?
Isn’t this a Korean-only cafe?
But is this correct?
According to the fan cafe description, it is a gathering to share necromancer knowledge and cheer on Kim Min-woo.
I felt a little intimidated for a moment.
I knew I couldn’t betray because I was ordered to do so.
But, even if I could betray you… … .
‘If I keep doing this, I’ll really die… … ?’
120 million subscribers on NewTube.
Fan cafe, Death Sect number 13 million.
Just seeing them flocking towards me made me feel like I was going to get hit by rocks and die on the street.
“… … Phew.”
My head hurt.
I closed my eyes and wore a blindfold.
I originally didn’t really like dark things.
It’s different now.
As my vision darkened, my mind became calmer. In fact, I felt the surrounding atmosphere much more vivid.
‘Could this also be the effect of becoming undead?’
I don’t know.
What is certain is that the fundamental things that make up oneself have already begun to change significantly.
‘We’ll be there in two hours… … .’
After the Magic Stone Age.
The plane’s speed had increased by leaps and bounds. The Philippines was just a stone’s throw away.
‘When you arrive at Banggai… … .’
She recalled some basic information. It was the main city on the island of Mindanao, a place with more unstable security than Manila and where Islamic rebels were rampant.
Even though the gates were open, the religious wars were still going on.
‘The defining characteristic is that there are many gates. And it is a drug paradise.’
The Awakened One has a strong body.
It is not easily ruined by drugs. Rather, for the awakened, drugs are similar to a kind of strong cigarette. That is why there is a lot of demand.
The Philippines was one of the origins of the drug.
licking.
She licked her lips.
Although it was a short period of time, many things that made up myself had changed.
But, just one thing.
There were some things that never changed… … .
‘How splendid must be their screams?’
It was the desire to kill.
I want to tear your limbs apart and kill you.
She wanted to see humans crawling and crying. That was one of the greatest joys of her life, and one of her greatest desires that had not changed since she became an undead.
No, rather, the thirst had gotten worse.
I’m anxious.
A lot has changed and there’s nowhere to lean on.
That might be why.
It was she who became more and more attached to the murder.
‘We must kill as many as possible.’
It will tear and burst.
all.
-But only target criminals who are worth killing.
Within the bounds of keeping to the absolute propositions commanded by the master.
But it didn’t matter.
The amount of game lurking in the Philippines is innumerable.
* * *
Lee Seo-yoon was uniquely classified as a ‘summoner’. Although necromancers use summoners, they summon targets within the skill’s range.
However, the concept of summons itself is a bit different.
‘It feels like a pet.’
There is no limit to the distance traveled.
No matter how far away from the owner you are, you cannot be summoned back.
That was the reason why Lee Seo-yoon could be sent to the Philippines. And, it was something that only Lee Seo-yoon could do.
A psychopathic serial killer who loves killing people. For her, the crime city of the Philippines is the perfect stage for her to run wild.
What about the legion commanders?
Although the summoning range was wider than that of a normal summon, it was not unlimited.
If you cross just one country, you’ll probably be recalled in no time.
In that sense, it could be said that the best hand to summon a shadow has arrived.
‘I’ll grab the tail no matter what.’
Hardronox.
I thought of that guy.
Now, it’s gone beyond simply spreading a group called ‘Shadow’ on Earth.
As seen in the Japanese Spirit King incident, they were openly spreading monsters. The message they received when they caught the Spirit King was quite eerie.
● WARNING!
● The spider is watching you!
● The story begins to change significantly!
● The mana concentration of ‘Earth’ is getting thicker!
● The probability of upper gates appearing increases greatly!
● The value of ‘Earth Credits’ increases significantly!
The message was something like this.
In other words, Hardronox started to pay attention to himself and that he could destroy the upper gates if he wanted to.
In a word.
‘Cannot coexist.’
The Earth is a kind of Kim Min-woo’s home.
If my main house collapses and burns down, won’t the price of my house fall significantly?
‘The credit will be worthless too.’
From the crazy exchange rate of 1 trillion won:1 point at the beginning, we have now barely reached the ratio of 800 billion won:1 point.
‘You want me to watch you become even more beggarly here?’
Absolutely not.
Hardronox was a being that had to be killed. The bait called Lee Seo-yoon was the starting point of that grand hunt.
“Master? What are you doing?”
“Oh, I need to think about something.”
I looked at Balkan sitting next to me on the bed. He wasn’t a giant Balrog, but a muscular human about 2 meters tall.
The skin had a healthy brown tint, and the overall complexion was ruddy.
And by the way… … .
Surprisingly, he was quite tall.
Even by human standards, he could be considered tall and very handsome.
How did I know this? Cedric told me.
Originally I was going to broadcast with Cedric, but he whispered to me.
– Do you know that? Balkan can transform into a human. If he uses that ability this time, it will help the show much more than I did.
I told him that I was going to do a live broadcast with Balkan, so he gave me some advice… … .
‘It was a very delicious meal.’
As if he had come to his senses due to Merhen’s tickling torture, Balkan became very obedient and quickly changed his form when told to turn into a human. Thanks to this, the live broadcast became a huge hit just as Cedric had boasted.
“But why can you turn into a human?”
“… … This is an ability that the Lord gave me. Use it when moving around Middle-earth.”
“You didn’t hate humans, did you?”
“There’s a difference between hating something and using it as a means. If it’s to win a battle, what can’t you do?”
“Good job. Thanks to you, the show was a hit, man.”
“What the hell. What kind of clown shit are you making me do… … .”
“That clowning will help strengthen the power.”
“It has to be that way!”
“Okay, calm down. If you keep doing that, I’ll call you Merchen.”
“… … It has to be that way.”
“Okay. Just say it calmly. Calmly. Okay?”
That’s when I was trying to appease that Balkan guy.
Bam!
The visit was opened.
Oh my gosh!
A small figure ran in an instant, jumped up, and hugged Kim Min-woo’s arms.
“Brother!”
“Oh, it’s me.”
“I saw the broadcast! And the Balkan uncle! The uncle is so amazing! He just turned into a human!”
“Like that?”
“Yeah! Like that! He’s tall and handsome! Cool!”
“… … .”
“Huh? Huh? Why aren’t you answering me, sir? Do you hate me?”
Kim Min-woo opened his eyes wide at the sight of Na-ye’s face suddenly turning sad.
Although the Balkans were simple, they were not lacking in basic tact.
It’s been two days since I was summoned here.
Now, I had a rough idea of Kim Min-woo’s family relationships.
‘Kim Na-ye. Kim Min-woo’s youngest sister and the youngest daughter of the Kim family. She is the unofficial number one in the family hierarchy, receiving everyone’s love. She is absolutely unacceptable.’
Balkan smiled awkwardly after finishing his calculations in an instant.
“Ha, haha. No way. I’m so happy. You complimented me and said I’m handsome.”
“Really? Really?”
“Heh heh. Sure. Of course.”
“Hehe, thank goodness. Naye thought you hated her so much that she almost started crying.”
“haha…….”
While Balkan was sweating profusely.
Kim Min-woo asked, putting a piece of candy from the room into Na-ye’s mouth.
“How are you doing these days, Na-ye? Is kindergarten fun?”
“Yeah! I have so many friends! There are so many foreign kids too! Our kindergarten is now an international kindergarten!”
“really?”
“Yeah! The director told me to tell my brother that he was thankful! I told him now, hehe.”
It is obvious that the kindergarten that Kim Na-ye attends is the best in Korea, but it is not a truly world-class kindergarten. In the first place, Korea is a weak and ignorant country, so that is not possible.
The truly wealthy send their children to prestigious kindergartens abroad and do not choose Korean kindergartens, no matter how good the facilities are.
But now it seemed different.
Seeing that foreign kids have flocked in… … .
‘Could it be that you sent me here to seduce me?’
Because he’s your own little brother?
Uduk.
My fists clenched without me realizing it. If there was anyone with such impure thoughts, I would smash their head in one blow… … .
“But, brother.”
“huh?”
“Alex likes me, what should I do?”
“Huh? What does that sound like…? Alex? That bird…? No, who is that guy?”
“There’s this kid from America who just clings to me. He blushes and keeps getting embarrassed… … .”
“… … How about me?”
“It seems a little cute… … ?”
At that moment, Balkan flinched at the sight of Kim Min-woo’s face crumpled like a vicious murderer.
