Kim Sa-je, the gold stacker -3-
Spread it.
“Euuuu······”
They feed it to everyone.
“stop······”
Ignore and spread it around.
“I can’t eat any more!”
Father Kim retched.
There was a mountain of small gold bars piled up next to it.
Of course, it’s not a real mountain, but a miniature mountain. It’s about the size of a fist or so.
I picked up the gold bar with tongs and took it to the magic cauldron.
“Why can’t you eat it?”
“I feel like my insides are boiling!”
“Ah, that’s a magical power reaction. Don’t worry about it and just pray hard. You need to increase your magical power, no, your divine power.”
“Then I’ll die! I’ll get addicted to magic!”
“Who is it? A priest? I don’t know. That will never happen, so pray again.”
“I feel like I’m really going to die······”
“I told you I wasn’t going to die?”
Each of the four tutorial characters has its own unique characteristics.
Kim Jeon-sa is a typical example. Because he has a blank body.
What about Priest Kim?
That means there is no magic addiction.
This is true for most priest-type superhumans, but Saje Kim is even worse.
The god you serve knows how to process the magic power and gives it to you.
As you eat gold, it accumulates as divine power.
‘It wasn’t very good in the game.’
That’s because gold is hard to come by.
How many game companies implement gold and silver stores in their games?
All you could do was pick up what monsters dropped, or buy gold ingots or coins that appeared randomly.
So, when there was a priest at a party, people would shout, “It’s gold!”
In reality, it’s different.
Even if you just go to a gold shop, you will find gold bars, gold coins, and gold accessories everywhere.
The same goes for the identity market.
I had just finished robbing the local gold shop and Shinwon Market.
“Eat plenty. Eat plenty. There’s still plenty.”
“eww······”
Kim Sa-je makes a face as if he is about to vomit.
Next to the stacked gold miniature mountain.
Because there were several golden art pieces on display.
A Buddha statue smaller than a finger, a symbol of an unknown god, and a golden teacup engraved with sacred text.
I said, crushing the liquid gold into powder.
“I’ll say it again, when your level is low, you can just melt gold and eat it. But when your level goes up, gold won’t work. From then on, you have to choose one of the two options.”
“It’s going to be a pain in the ass. I memorized it all. You told me to make it into a gas and drink it, or melt down a gold piece of art.”
“Right. Then, which of the artworks did you ask me to eat?”
“It’s a religious work of art.”
“That is correct.”
Putting gold dust in tea and eating it is only a second option.
The correct way is to vaporize it and drink it.
Don’t just throw it away as a sacrifice.
This is a story about level 3, and it changes again at level 5.
“From level 5, you must change it into a holy relic. A holy relic from another religion. It must be made of gold.”
“Ugh······Where can I get something like that?”
“Isn’t it in the warehouse? Your sect has a long history, so I’m sure there’s something there.”
“I haven’t been to the church warehouse either.”
“If you become an archbishop, no, a patriarch, you should definitely go in. In the priests’ order, level 5 is the patriarch, right? Then you have a justification. You can use the cult’s warehouse treasures as you please.”
And while you’re at it, take the holy relics that you’re giving me.
Are there only holy relics? I think there are a lot of magical weapons too.
Even if it is a poor, small church, it must have built up something over 3,000 years of history.
“Ugh······Can’t we take a break and then do it?”
“Where is there time to rest? What’s so hard about just praying?”
“It’s really hard… I have to keep facing God.”
“That’s good. Then, wouldn’t it be okay if I buy it?”
“Huh? Is it that easy to become an apostle?”
“You keep meeting God.”
“We don’t really meet, we just feel His presence. Our God has been forgotten, so we can’t speak clearly.”
“Just in case, let’s add more. Now, don’t stop and drink it all at once. Drink it all up!”
“Ugh······ I said I was doing it for nothing.”
Even though he had a sad expression on his face, Kim Sa-je drank the tea like a baby bird.

When I say that I am an apostle, it is not in vain.
[Apostle] Trait.
Because Kim Sa-je can get enough.
Maybe soon.
As long as the hidden conditions are met.
If you do it just the way I told you, it won’t take long.
“hmm······”
Priest Kim stopped drinking the golden tea and let out a sigh.
Second awakening.
Or level up.
From the outside it looked similar to when it was level 2.
A divine halo spreads and waves of power ripple.
If the priest Kim hadn’t set up a barrier in advance, the moment of awakening would have been noticed even from outside.
I took my time drinking tea and watching the Kim Sa-je.
After being immersed in the law for a long time, Priest Kim slowly opened his eyes.
“and!”
Kim Sa-je jumping up and down in place.
“I’ve reached level 3! I’ve become a bishop!”
“How is it? Do you feel awkward?”
“It’s amazing. Not at all. My body feels really light. I feel like I’m ascending to heaven where God is!”
“Good. Then let’s eat this too.”
“Excuse me, Superman? Isn’t this enough? I’m the bishop. The bishop.”
“But you still have to eat what you prepared. You won’t be able to reach level 4, right?”
“I want to become a level 4, but it’s okay if it happens later. I think it’ll be okay even if it takes a few years.”
“I’m not feeling well. Please eat quickly.”
“eww······”
He forced them to eat gold.
Clear all three prepared gold bars and artworks.
Level 4 was not possible.
To get to level 4 in the first place, you need a work of art worth hundreds of billions of gold or tens of billions of gold.
The budget I prepared was 100 million won. It was only the amount I initially planned to give to Kim Sa-je as an emotional fee.
Just getting to level 3 with this is amazing.
He’s definitely a guy with some merits, and he’s a class act.
“phew.”
Priest Kim clenched and unclenched his fist several times.
“I’ve become really strong. God has given me a lot of strength.”
Kim Saje’s starting trait is [Healing Hands].
As you level up, your characteristics increase.
Now that it’s level 3, you should have [Purification], [Divine Defense], and [Arrow of Light].
Priest Kim floated a ball of light over his hand and spoke in a gruff voice.
“What do you think? Doesn’t it look incredibly strong?”
Late teens.
In the original world, it was an age when one could normally attend high school.
I’d like to brag about how strong I’ve become, but I’ve come to the wrong conclusion.
In this crazy world, if you don’t know your place and act like an idiot, you’ll most likely end up dead in a back alley somewhere.
Whoosh!
He threw the spoon he was holding.
The throwing characteristic accurately hit the light ball.
As the light suddenly went out, Priest Kim looked puzzled.
“Huh?”
“Mr. Priest. Just because you’re level 3 doesn’t mean you’re invincible. If you let your guard down, even level 5 superhumans, let alone level 3s, can be defeated in an instant.”
“Tch. You don’t have to be so serious.”
“You need to get serious. Priest, levels 1 and 3 are different. Level 1 can hide in these slums, but from level 3 onwards, you will inevitably be exposed. Even if you hide your identity with artifacts and relics, the Inquisitors will eventually catch wind of it and come after you. If you show off such shabby abilities at that time, you will really die.”
“You can block it with a barrier.”
“A barrier? Try using it.”
Maybe it’s because I’m young, but I don’t know the bitterness of society.
Father Kim folded his hands together with a proud expression.
A slowly unfolding shield.
While my magic shield was basically transparent and slightly blue, Kim Saje’s shield was a very dark milky color.
A texture that is so firm and elastic that it seems like it will spring back when pressed.
A divine defense shield that is much better than a magic defense shield in terms of defense power alone.
But I know the answer.
He took the rifle out of the golf bag he had left in the corner.
Guns are my answer.
When I aimed with a deliberate clicking sound, Kim Sa-je’s face turned pale.
“That, that’s foul play!”
“Why is it foul?”
“Well······”
“Mr. Priest, have you never seen the Iron Fist and the Dagger Faction fighting while living here? They just shoot rifles and shotguns. They don’t even use pistols very often. And they even use grenades and rocket launchers. Have you never seen them?”
“I saw······”
“This is what the priest will face in the future. The rifle is cute. Some will use machine guns, and some will shoot anti-material rifles. The sacred shield? It will stop rifle bullets, but that’s about it.”
You can’t stop it indefinitely.
Even a shield can be destroyed after being hit by hundreds of rifle bullets.
I put away my rifle and spoke as if I was admonishing him.
“You must always be careful. At least until the priest-sama awakens. First, call a local meeting and gain the bishop’s recognition. Then, hire mercenaries or turn the guardians of the church into paladins to secure protection. A priest without the protection of a warrior is truly helpless.”
Kim Sa-je himself has relatively weak fighting power.
A typical character that comes to mind when you think of a priest.
Ability to thoroughly assist the water body.
The Healing Hands – Purification – Divine Shield 3-piece set is nice, but what can you do with the Arrow of Light?
In the game, I used to erase the healing hand and the arrow of light and give things like protection and blessing. I can use the healing as a holy relic given to me by Priest Kim.
Father Kim, who had been bowing his head, raises his head.
There was a glimmer of longing in the two eyes looking at me.
“Then can I hire you, Superman?”
“Me?”
“Yes. I can trust you, Superman.”
A look of trust, as if looking at one’s own older brother.
My mouth became a little dry.
I was trying to be friendly and take advantage of him, but I thought he was too naive.
But what can’t be done can’t be done.
I shook my head firmly.
“I have something to do. Sorry.”
“That’s too bad······ What should I do?”
“I have to become stronger.”
“If I become a knight, will I become stronger?”
“It’s much more than that.”
I can’t be satisfied with just being a paladin.
It’s a shame that even the 7 major religious orders have such small-scale religious orders.
Kim Sa-je licked his lips but did not offer any more.
Instead, he asked me for one favor.
“But could you please escort me for a while? I’m thinking of calling a regional meeting as you said, but I don’t want to go alone. The bishop will be coming too······”
“Okay, I’ll do that much.”
“Thank you! I will definitely repay this favor! Should I pay you the commission fee? You can look forward to it!”
“Hahaha. Okay. I’ll look forward to it.”
What are you trying to give me?
I don’t expect much.
Just one holy sword. Just give me one holy sword.
My brother will be satisfied with just that one.
Father Kim scribbled down a letter on the spot.
He rubs his thumb on the pearl and stamps it on the letter.
By pressing down on the divine power.
A very weak magical wave is felt.
Even if other superhumans don’t know, the priests of the same sect will know.
The fact that this obstacle was marked by a level 3 superhuman, that is, a bishop by their standards.
Simply put, the convocation of the bishop.
Who would dare refuse?
He placed the completed letter in his hands and burned it.
A cloud of divine smoke is sucked into the statue’s nose.
The god’s eyes lit up once and then fell silent.
Kim Sa-je took a deep breath as if he had accomplished something great.
“Whoa! We decided to meet up tomorrow.”
“I guess they’re all nearby?”
“Of course. There are a lot of people living in Seoul and the metropolitan area. There are also a lot of priests living in this area.”
“How many people are coming?”
“I don’t know. But I think five or six people will come.”
I hope the bishop doesn’t come.
Priest Kim muttered, then felt my gaze and laughed.
The very next night.
An abandoned church near Seoul.
A local meeting was held in an area where reconstruction was underway.
“Oh, isn’t that Father Kim!”
“You reached level 3?”
“Oh my goodness! God bless you!”
“A bishop is born in our diocese!”
“That’s great. That’s great!”
Is it because it is such a small community?
The priests were delighted when they heard the news of Kim Sa-je’s level up as if it were their own.
There are six people gathered.
1 person at level 2, 5 people at level 1.
It was a number that just made me sigh.
“I guess everyone who was supposed to come has arrived. Shall we begin?”
The second level priest, who was the leader, looked around and said.
“Yes, that’s right.”
“You may begin.”
“then······”
Just as I was about to declare the opening.
A loud voice cut through the dark, abandoned church.
“Who cares?”
Father Kim, who had been smiling, hardened his face.
Squeak!
The door to the abandoned church opened roughly.
It’s dark outside.
Under a full moon that was so cloudy that it was pale.
An old man was standing there leading the men.
A skinny, hunched appearance reminiscent of a crow with a long beak.
The golden staff in his right hand stood out.
I squinted my eyes.
I’m sure you’ve seen this cane many times.
In particular, the decoration on the end of the golden staff was familiar.
‘That’s······’
X-shaped decoration.
If you look closely, you’ll understand.
It matched perfectly with the scar on Kim Sa-je’s forehead in the game.
“You are the bishop.”
Yeah, that was it.
The main villain of Kim Sa-je’s personal quest.
The main culprit who excommunicates Kim Sa-je in the story.
The bishop was glaring at us, his face piercing with cold air.
Especially Priest Kim.
