Episode 150: Runaway -3-
The skeleton snake took the ring in its eyes.
The pupils are cloudy and floating.
In the distant past, hundreds of years ago, a time when a dynasty ruled this land without a hitch.
“This is… … the prophet’s… … .”
A skeleton snake rolling a ring on its finger.
He stares at his hands for a long time and then sighs.
“The prophecy has come true.”
prophecy?
What was it?
I remember something about tongue, blood, and flesh.
I’m not sure about this phrase because it doesn’t appear in the game.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
The skeleton snake retched violently.
A strange scene appears.
A mass of magical power rising from the stomach, no, from the entire organs.
What was vomited out like that was a large magical core.
I couldn’t help but be surprised.
Could it be because it is a mutation of a mutation?
Even though I spat out the magic core, the skeleton snake was fine.
Instead, a magic circuit took its place.
The magical circuit of the reinforced soldier, not the magical core of the mutant or variant.
‘Have you really become human?’
It could be said that this was a complex reaction that resulted from the overlapping blessings of the three gods.
Or should we call it a miracle?
Something that was impossible even in a game.
“under…….”
The skeleton snake held the magic core and the ring with a complicated expression.
Then he staggers toward me.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah. It’s okay. It’s been a really long time. It’s been two hundred years since I’ve felt this cold wind and air.”
The skeleton snake took a deep breath.
It was truly an amazing sight.
Definitely not human.
There were no organs inside, just a lump of flesh that had turned into a monster liquid.
But they breathe normally and their body temperature is regulated.
As the magic circuit works.
He will probably eat normally and have normal bowel movements.
Would it be correct to say that he is an artificial human?
“Okay, take this.”
“Would you mind giving it to me?”
“The Prophet must have wanted that too, and put his ring on my heart. For some reason, I couldn’t see the ring when we parted ways.”
“It seems like a precious item… … .”
“That’s why you should take it. The Mukho Sword. Every treasure has its own owner.”
I received the recommended magic core and ring.
First of all, the Prophet’s Ring.
It is clearly a superior version of the Ring of Crisis Detection.
In the game, it worked by outputting all internal information.
For example, starting with the randomly generated dungeon map completely revealed, or showing the rewards inside the treasure chest in advance.
Wouldn’t there be some sort of ability here, such as [foreknowledge], [insight], or [foresight]?
‘It would be difficult to even have the ability to predict, right?’
Prophecy is something that is only allowed to those in the Prophet build among the wizard class.
At least it wasn’t implemented properly in the game.
So what?
It would be a huge hit if we could know in advance whether it is a danger or a blessing.
“The magic core is fine. You will need it too, Skeleton Snake.”
“No. You need it.”
“yes?”
“Your Godmother is speaking. She says you need my magic core to reach level 6.”
“Skeleton Snake, you’re not even a warrior?”
At level 5, I needed four magic cores.
Giants, demons, yakshas, and thunderbirds.
If we categorize all of them as superhumans, they all belong to the warrior category.
The magic spirit predicted that this time we would need warrior-type mutant magic cores again, and I agreed.
But the skeleton snake shakes its head.
“Wrong. This time, we need more variety. Mutant magic cores of the four major classes: warrior, reinforcement, magician, and priest.”
“That much?”
“Yes. Oh, the godmother gave me the blueprint.”

The skeleton snake reached out.
A single leaf falls fluttering down on top of it.
The orphaned Chinese characters are stuck there as if they are about to fly away.
[巨獸熊][骸骨蛇][祕傳梟][三目怪]
[military strength][衛star gold][heavy power][seven stars]
What is this?
I’m good at English, but I suck at Chinese characters.
You have to have learned it to know.
As I stood there blankly holding the leaves, the skeleton snake explained them one by one.
“You don’t know Chinese characters these days, do you? In order, they are Giant Bear, Skull Snake, Secret Owl, and Three-Eyed Fox. These four require mutant magic cores.”
“Giant bear, skeleton snake, secret owl, three-eyed… … .”
“And this… … General’s Sword, Satellite Gun, Gravity Field, and Seven Star Pearl. What are they? He says we need magic circuits, not magic cores. We need to use the mutant magic core as the main material, and extract magic circuits from these four artifacts as auxiliary materials. And then add in the appropriate auxiliary materials. Something like nectar.”
General’s sword, satellite gun, gravity field, Chilseongju?
Can I order something from China?
I felt embarrassed for a moment.
With 10,000 hours of gaming experience, I got the answer right away.
‘White horse, this is it.’
Originally, it was the site of the world’s biggest battle during the Korean War.
The same setting was in Arcane Seoul.
On nights when the full moon rises, space becomes distorted and ghosts and undead from the Chinese army appear in large numbers.
Here are four representative weapons you can get there.
General’s Sword, Satellite Gun, Staff of Gravity, and Relic of the Seven Stars.
When you write this in Chinese characters, it sounds like a strange spell.
Anyway, it’s fortunate that everything came out in one place.
It’s much better than wandering around aimlessly.
“I understand. Thank you. Please tell your godmother thank you.”
“Your godmother will be happy too.”
The giant bear that had been listening twitched its ears.
Then he stretches out his arms exaggeratedly and pretends to open his chest.
“You need my magic core? Take it now! I wouldn’t even hesitate to give my life for my friends!”
“Stop being so cheap and bring me your master’s magic core. It can’t be level 7. It has to be level 6.”
“Hehehe. I’ll gladly bring it!”
“me too!”
“me too!”
Three additional magic cores have been added.
All level 6 magic cores.
A treasure that probably belonged to one’s teacher, parents, siblings, or friends.
Although the magical cores were treasured like sacred jewels, the faces of the mutants who presented them to me were bright and cheerful.
“Sister, you became human!”
“Wow, it’s so soft!”
“I want to be human too… … .”
“Should I ask my human friend?”
Arthura.
It’s a resource, but it’s also too difficult and painful.
Leveling up is hard enough to reconstruct your body, but the mutation of a mutant is even harder.
It wouldn’t be strange if you died while doing it.
But unexpectedly, the skeleton snake said something completely unexpected.
“If you ever want to become human, just tell me. I can help you.”
“Are you my sister?”
“Really?”
“Then. I heard that the godmother’s rank has been greatly raised because of what happened a little while ago. She has gained new powers. However, she will be very sick.”
“How much?”
“You saw it before? It hurts as much as being pounded in a huge mortar and then burned. If you don’t mind, I’ll do it.”
“uh…….”
The young mutant who wanted to become human rolled his eyes.
“Hey, think about it.”
“Haha, okay.”
It wasn’t for nothing that the Tree God granted Thor and Gaia their blessing.
Anyway, the skeleton snake lived.
All mutants that were unstable due to the magical wave generated during the mutation process returned to normal.
There were no dead or injured mutants.
The giant bear roared loudly.
“Bring me some booze! It’s a festival, a festival!”
“Yay!”
“It’s a festival!”
“Drink! Drink!”
“Throw him in the barrel first!”
“No, wait a minute!”
Rebellion was useless.
A swarm of level 6 mutants swarmed me and threw me into a giant beer keg.
I was trying to get angry, but the beer tasted, smelled… … .
“uh?”
oh my god.
What did you put in your beer?
It was clearly beer in color, but it was incredibly refreshing.
It washes your entire body moistly the moment you apply it.
The scent that penetrated my nose was also like that.
My somewhat tired mind suddenly woke up and all my fatigue disappeared.
“Nectar? Is this nectar?”
“Oh, I spent some money.”
“Me too. You put nectar in your drink? That expensive stuff? The nectar’s unique effects are all gone.”
“But it tastes good! If you mix magic core powder and drink it, there’s no other heavenly wine. Now you can see why the gods drink nectar instead of alcohol!”
“I told you the magic core powder recipe for nothing. This is no longer a hope village, but an alcohol village.”
“Hehehe, that’s fine, just eat it!”
The giant bear stuck my head into a beer keg.
Nectar is nectar, no matter how much of its unique effect it loses.
I drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.
Even though I wasn’t breathing, I was getting oxygen all by myself.
If my stomach allowed it, I could drink all the Nectar beer.
I felt strength and magic rising.
The blood of the tree god is mixed with nectar beer to strengthen my body.
“Hey! Silent Sword Master!”
Thunder took me out and put his arm around my shoulder.
“I told you I would give you all my wealth if you spared the snake’s life. Take that!”
“What are you talking about…? … Huh?”
Thunder stabbed a small jewel box.
I received it without thinking and almost missed it.
It was stupidly heavy.
At least several hundred kilograms.
It was small enough to fit in the palm of your hand, but it seemed to have been given a space-expanding magic.
“It’s a diamond.”
“Diamonds? How many did you put in there?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t count them. I bought one every time I earned money, and I think it’s worth over 10 billion.”
10 billion!
I’ve received it a few times, but it’s a lot of money.
I took the jewelry box without any hesitation.
“Thank you. I will use it well.”
“Yeah, yeah! And come over and hang out sometimes. Let’s have a drink together.”
“Haha, I guess so.”
It wasn’t just Thunder.
The mutants would sneak up on me, give me drinks, and keep poking me with things.
“It’s a gift from my heart.”
“Put it in, put it in.”
“Thank you for treating my grandmother. You are truly a great person. If you need another Yaksha magic core, please contact me. I’ll even give you mine.”
“Take. Human. My. Gift.”
Gold bars, gems, and rare materials are available in medicine.
There were also mutants who could grant magical weapons, diamonds, top-tier healing potions, and holy water.
The biggest hit was, of course, the giant bear.
“Do you need nectar?”
Then he put five bottles of nectar and three bottles of elixir in my hands.
“A life is repaid with a life. Is this enough to repay you?”
I have quite a bit of nectar too.
But the more the better.
I’ll need to use 5 bottles soon, and I’ll need them to level up Janet and Carly.
And the elixir?
I don’t know when I’ll have to face death again like the time of the slaughter queen.
With that in mind, the Elixir was a must-have.
“Thank you. I really needed it.”
What followed was a series of drinking parties.
I was so confused that I was being offered alcohol here and there.
If it weren’t for the indomitable and immortal combination of the Diamond Body, I would have fallen long ago.
Before we knew it, it was deep into the night.
The hunters had already fallen asleep and half of the mutants were drunk and snoring loudly.
“One more drink!”
“He’s quite a human being, isn’t he?”
“Oh, I’ve never lost to anyone in a drinking match! I’ll even make the village chief kneel!”
“Huh, just a human?”
The giant bear and the association president are sharing a drink.
A ridiculous fight.
A tin cup as small as an espresso cup for the giant bear, and as big as the head of the association president.
Clang! Clang!
The sound of the glasses clinking was pleasant.
Having worked on the masterpiece almost all night, both of them were tongue-tied.
“I mean, back in my day, do you know how many Japanese bastards I killed!”
“I know, I know. You’re an independence activist. There’s no one in the Republic of Korea who doesn’t know that the village chief fought for independence.”
“But why do you humans keep making our lives miserable?”
“They’re bad guys. Yes, they are. They’re really bad guys. You’re saying that our association is the only one that’s been getting hurt because of those poachers? We’ve kicked all those guys out of the association, and we’re killing them every time we catch them, so let’s just let it out. Okay, have another drink.”
This is another rare sight.
A regular sniper with no customization like mine is taking down mutants.
Even if mutants drink alcohol sprinkled with magic nucleus powder and get drunk quickly, their drug resistance is bound to be stronger than that of ordinary superhumans.
As I stared at him, the association president raised his thumb.
“Sir! I can drink a little. Would you like to have a big one?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“Me, me too, let me have a drink… … .”
The giant bear that had been holding on fell forward.
The association president, who was almost crushed, ran away in fear.
A giant bear with its chest heaving and snoring.
The president of the association sat next to him and smiled bitterly.
“That’s unexpected.”
“What is it?”
“To be honest, the people in this town didn’t give me a good impression.”
The president of the association speaks very quietly, in a voice that no one but me can hear.
I just said it out loud.
“I guess so. Doesn’t that look familiar?”
“Oh, oh, oh, mom, that’s not what I meant.”
“Hey, it’s okay. People here understand that much. In fact, it’s all because of appearance. Isn’t that what it’s like to be human? Discriminate against and look down on those who are different from you.”
“Ugh… … .”
“Their hearts are purer than those of people in Seoul. The president of the association should also approach them without prejudice. Our association will not have many entanglements with Hope Village.”
“I guess so.”
Drink alcohol.
Pour it in one go.
As dawn approaches and the day breaks.
At this point, even the association president couldn’t hold out any longer.
Lying on the bear’s plump belly, he snored happily.
“ha ha ha.”
The Hunters’ Association and the Monster Village were originally enemies.
In the game, they are impatient because they can’t eat each other.
When I saw those people sleeping soundly, I couldn’t help but laugh.
This must also be a change I brought about.
I stood up quietly.
I escaped from the monster village filled with snoring sounds.
On the way home.
Communicated with the mansion management spirit through the Red Cougar’s magical spirit.
[Master, the blueprint analysis is complete. As you said, we need the General’s Sword, Satellite Gun, Gravity Staff, and the Relic of the Seven Stars.]
“When does the full moon rise?”
[It’s today.]
I clench my fists and test my physical abilities and magical power.
Now is the best time.
Level 5 pole.
Drinking the blood of God and indulging in nectar beer proved to be effective.
then.
If only there was a full moon tonight.
I guess I’ll have to try level 6.
Right now.
