Kim Sa-je, the Gold Stacker -4-
“It’s a sight. It’s a sight.”
The bishop spoke as if croaking like a crow.
“Who gave you the authority to hold such meetings? What are you going to do if you get caught by the Inquisitors?”
The bishop glares at Kim Sa-je fiercely.
The level 2 priest spoke in protest.
“Your Excellency, any priest of the Church has the authority to convene a meeting. You know this very well, don’t you?”
“Huh! That’s when you follow the teachings. Hosting a meeting as a traitor is ridiculous!”
“A traitor?”
The priests asked back with puzzled faces.
The bishop takes a letter out of his bosom and shakes it.
A letter written by Kim Sa-je, which was delivered and implemented through the group.
The seal on the letter was shining in the moonlight.
The bishop roared.
“A person who was clearly level 1 just 3 months ago has suddenly become level 3! What does this mean? There’s no way to get promoted this quickly using our sect’s methods. Even if we burn a hundred billion, or two hundred billion, level 2 is the limit! It’s clear that he sold out his sect brothers and was granted divine power!”
“Sir, no way!”
“There’s no way a priest would do that!”
“There’s no way that gentle guy would betray us!”
“Aren’t you the only son of the late Bishop Kim? You must have found an innovative way! Just like Bishop Kim!”
The bishop’s face distorted.
He glares at the priest who mentioned Bishop Kim, who spoke the last words, as if he were going to kill him.
Before he could shout anything, the level 2 priest spoke in a calm tone.
“I understand that the bishop is suspicious of the priest. Our church is going through a really tough time. But we can’t just brand him a traitor. How about giving Father Kim a chance to explain himself first? Do you know? Father Kim might have found a really good way to level up.”
“joy!”
Clearly a reasonable statement.
But the bishop only laughed.
He slammed his golden staff down on the ground with a thud and gave an order to the large men he had brought with him.
“It was my fault for talking to those idiots. Catch me!”
“Yes, Bishop.”
The number of people the bishop brought was about ten.
The two large men standing on either side stepped forward.
Sharp as a blade.
Heavy, muscular build.
He is armed with a thick protective suit and an extra-large three-section baton.
And the subtle magical waves that can be felt.
Similar to me.
A level 2 warrior-type superhuman. In the Kim Sa-je sect, they are called guardians.
The priests stood up in anger.
“Bishop! This is tyranny!”
“You are mobilizing the guardians without permission!”
“The Guardians are not the Bishop’s private soldiers!”
“Be quiet! It’s time to set the church straight. Guardians, come and catch the corrupt priests!”
The bishop shouted and waved his staff.
An ominous golden flame burned from the tip of the staff.
The ability engraved there is [Pain].
It was a trait that boasted considerable attack power among the priest series traits.
The priests who had come forward stepped back, feeling stung.
The guardians approached with serious faces.
“Priest, I am sorry.”
“Let’s go well. The bishop will also have a drink here for a while.”
They also seem to be uncomfortable.
However, the orders of the church are strict, and subordinates can never disobey their superiors.
“Superman.”
Father Kim looked at me, trembling.
He is still young.
You are a bishop yourself, so why are you afraid of another bishop?
I have to put all my strength into my stomach and shout, “I am the bishop!” and go out strong.
There’s nothing I can do.
What would you expect from a kid who’s probably in high school?
I have to feed them all.
I slowly got up from my seat.
Emits magical waves.
Woohoo.
A magnificent intangible force stretches out like a stretching movement.
Black salt is also opened to the maximum.
The air vibrates and gazes flutter.
The approaching guardians frowned and stopped.
The bishop also felt my momentum and cast a wary glance at me.

[Einherjar Method][Magic Heart][Pressure]
[Magic Recovery][Magic Absorption][Black Flame]
A set of traits that can never be considered level 2.
A huge magical power that could only be used by a wizard poured down, bearing the awe of a warrior.
The Guardians’ faces harden.
Reflexively, he reaches for the staff on his waist.
“joy.”
I followed suit and grabbed the handle of the sword on my waist.
I’m a fool holding a sword, but do the Guardians know that?
[Bankruptcy Prosecution]
When you equip this and let out a sense of oppression, the heavy aura changes into an eerie sharpness.
Like a skilled inspector.
The guardians broke out in a cold sweat.
“Hey, who are you?”
“me?”
From behind, he nodded once towards the priest Kim.
“You are the champion of the priest Kim. You want to take the priest? Are you sure? If you are sure, then go for it. Be prepared to have your head ripped off.”
He strains his eyes and glares at the Guardians.
In the trembling eyes of the guardians.
I am reflected.
There is me, full of life, with eyes glaring like a beast.
I, who hesitated to kill, no longer exist.
After killing and killing and killing again, only I, a murderer, was left.
“It’s our church’s business! Outsiders, keep out!”
“Didn’t you hear? I said you were a champion, priest? A champion, a great warrior. If you want to enforce it by force, don’t slouch behind me. Come forward and attack with that fancy staff.”
“This insolent man!”
“If you have nothing to say, you must be rude. What are you doing, priest?”
“yes yes?”
“Explain how you got to level 3.”
I threw away all honorifics without realizing it.
Kim Sa-je seemed to actually like that better.
He said this with a slight smile, making his trembling seem colorless.
“I became level 3 because······”
Explain calmly.
From the moment we first met, I was forced to eat gold.
In fact, when he crushed gold and made tea with it, the gods reacted directly and his divine powers exploded.
The bishop was foaming at the mouth.
“Heresy! Heresy!”
A bishop screaming and waving his staff like a madman.
But the priests’ reaction was different.
“But God allowed it······”
“If you didn’t like it, you wouldn’t have given it divine power.”
“Wouldn’t you have just not come down? You would have immediately recovered your divine power. God is not a generous being.”
“If the priest guy is now level 3, then isn’t this right?”
“That’s right.”
They have already felt it.
Every time Priest Kim speaks, a level 3 divine power spreads softly.
The Guardians did the same.
Now, he had completely stepped back and was listening to what Kim Sa-je had to say.
There is only one person who does not acknowledge Kim Sa-je.
There is only one bishop.
“The practice of burning gold to burn a fire is the worst heresy! Do you dare to commit such a heretical act and get away with it?”
“It’s not a heresy! God permitted it!”
“Nonsense! There’s no way God would allow the offering of gold! It was already condemned as a heresy hundreds of years ago!”
“That was because it was inefficient, and this method is much······”
“Shut up, heretic! I will purify you and offer you to God! Apostate! Heretic! Repent forever in the flames of torment!”
The bishop raised his staff high.
Flames rise.
Golden divine power blooms like wildfire.
The moment when the flames are carved into the tip of the staff, swirling wildly.
Boom!
I gave the bishop a heretic side kick.
“Keuh-euk!”
The bishop groans and falls to the ground.
“Oh, Your Majesty!”
“Bishop!”
“Oh, no!”
“Superman! What are you doing!”
A variety of screams rang out in my ears.
I ignored everything.
He grabbed the bishop by the collar and lifted him up with one hand.
Thud! Thud!
And a few punches.
The stubborn bishop’s face quickly swells up like a steamed bun.
I knew it from the beginning.
That means you have no practical experience.
A warrior-type superhuman advances without an escort? At a distance of only ten meters?
It’s like they’re trying to catch me and hold me.
There was total chaos as they took away the cane and dragged the bishop away.
“Let go of the bishop!”
“This bastard!”
“What are you doing!”
“Superman······ This is too much······”
Even Father Kim looks at me with accusing eyes.
Because you’re so innocent.
At this point, you’re a fool. You’re a fool.
What good would it do to side with a guy who cast pain magic to kill himself?
I roughly beat the bishop next to Father Kim.
“Ugh!”
The bishop makes a gasping sound.
The priests swarmed me with protests.
“Even if you are a champion of Father Kim, how can you assault a bishop!”
“It’s not that you’re making fun of our church!”
“What are the Guardians doing? Protect the Bishop!”
Anyway, this guy and that guy, they’re just talking.
I grabbed the bishop by the hair and lifted him up.
“Let go of it! I said let go!”
The bishop struggled, but a blow to the side silenced him.
The Guardians came closer but could not act properly.
Because if I just wave my hand lightly, the bishop could die.
“Is it a sin to beat up a blasphemous child?”
“desecration?”
“What are you talking about?”
“I had nothing to say, so I just said whatever I wanted, but you ignored us so much······”
“It is blasphemy to dare to call a candidate for the apostle a heretic or something like that.”
“Huh?”
“uh?”
Apostolic candidate.
It seems like everyone’s brains stopped working because of the word that appeared out of nowhere.
Blink your eyes and open your mouth like a cuckoo.
“Apostolic candidate?”
“A candidate for the apostleship?”
“What on earth does that mean?”
A flood of questioning looks poured in.
I looked back at Father Kim quietly.
Kim Sa-je’s eyes wavered.
He looked around, blinked at me, and then pointed at himself with a trembling hand.
“Me, me?”
“Yes. You. You are the apostle candidate.”
“That’s ridiculous.”
“Why doesn’t that make sense?”
“There are so many great people in our church. How can I be a candidate for apostle while beating out all of them? It doesn’t make sense.”
Actually, it’s okay even if you’re not a priest.
Conditions: Level 3. And consume gold.
Among them, they will swallow golden artworks related to other religious sects.
In the game story, it’s just that Priest Kim met that condition.
I took out the golden grains I had prepared in advance.
It was made by melting down a miniature golden statue of an old father’s sect and making it into a silver statue the size of a silver plate.
‘The old father’s sect is the main enemy of the priest’s sect.’
3 thousand years ago in the past.
The god of wealth was killed by the allied forces of the religious sect.
This is a sect that produces level 3 priests with 100 million won worth of gold.
It must have been of much greater value at the time, but it must have been an eyesore to other denominations.
The core of the religious alliance is the old father’s religious order.
Therefore, the condition of becoming an apostle of the sect of wealth is completed by eating the golden artwork related to the old father sect.
It wasn’t for nothing that I gave three pieces of golden art to Priest Kim yesterday.
“Eat.”
“What, what is this?”
“You’ll know when you eat it.”
Although Priest Kim trembled with anxiety, he obediently accepted the golden grain.
And eating.
Papa Pot!
The gold bursts.
An extremely splendid and dazzling light, like a divine light, was making its presence known.
“Ouch! A barrier! Set up a barrier!”
“Barrier! Quickly!”
“It’s a miracle!”
Level up?
no.
To get to level 4 you have to stack and stack gold.
This was an apostolic trait blooming.
A god whose name has even been forgotten finally opens a channel of communication with the outside world and sends down a terminal.
The priests worked hard to create a barrier.
The guardians and the big guys were kneeling and praying.
The bishop repeated one word as if he had lost his mind.
“No······ This is not it······”
I watched the scene of Saje Kim’s former life while still subduing the bishop.
Why didn’t you transfer me in advance yesterday?
It’s because of this guy.
He’s stupid and incompetent, but he’s also greedy and jealous, which makes him one of the best villain characters.
If you let him live, he will be someone who will haunt you for a long time.
So, I deliberately stopped just before the conditions for the previous position were fulfilled, and had him write a letter pretending that only the episcopal position would be recognized.
Golden explosion.
The time to express it that way has passed.
Finally, Priest Kim opened his eyes.
“ah······”
A holy light shines from his eyes and a halo rotates behind his head.
“It’s Halo.”
“Halo.”
The priests gazed in admiration at the halo behind Saje Kim’s head.
A metallic ring that feels tangible when touched.
It was more reminiscent of planetary rings than the halo depicted in religious paintings.
“uh?”
Father Kim actually touched it.
“How do I get rid of this?”
“Pray.”
“Is it okay to pray? Oh, if I pray like this, won’t God get angry?”
“You’re angry at the apostle you’ve only gotten after 3,000 years? I would never do that, so trust me and pray.”
“Uh······ Okay, I’ll do that.”
Father Kim immediately knelt down and prayed.
Then, the light that had been flashing in his eyes and the ring of light that had been spinning behind his head all disappeared as if they had never happened.
“Okay, okay!”
“That’s what I said.”
“Am I, am I really a candidate for the apostles?”
“No.”
I shook my head firmly.
“Please be an apostle.”
“uh······”
Kim Sa-je with a confused expression.
I left it alone and glared at the priests who had protested to me earlier.
“Okay, let me ask you formally.”
“what······”
“Is it a sin to call a candidate for the apostle a heretic or something?”
Same question as before.
But having witnessed a miracle before their eyes, the priests had a set answer to give.
“No.”
“It is not a sin.”
“Hmm! Hmm! We were a little hasty earlier. We had no idea that Father Kim, or rather, the Apostle, was a candidate for the Apostle······”
“Haha. Now that I think about it, it seems that the Great Warrior is not the champion of Kim Sa or Sado, but the champion of our God.”
“Yes, yes.”
“So, the Apostle Yeha recognized that he was the Apostle Yeha.”
“He also taught us a new way of offering burnt offerings.”
“Isn’t this person the representative of our God?”
After changing positions.
And what? God’s representative?
Before he could try to link me up with something strange, he brought up a new topic.
“Priest, ask your god one more question.”
“What?”
“How should we judge a person who, out of jealousy and envy, assassinated a bishop of the same denomination, cleverly hindered the bishop’s son, a candidate for bishop, from growing up, and tried to kill an apostolic candidate by accusing him of heresy?”
“yes?”
Kim Sa-je didn’t seem to understand.
But the priests and guardians had serious faces.
Because I understood who the bishop I was referring to was.
“her······”
“I never thought it would happen······”
“Is that real?”
“You will understand when you hear the answer God gives you.”
Although he looks bewildered, Priest Kim kneels and prays.
A good guy who does whatever he’s told.
“Uh······ Are you telling me to kill you?”
“Oh, no!”
Kim Sa-je speaks with a confused face.
A bishop who senses the end and cries out.
I didn’t hesitate.
Equipped with the strength trait, he grabbed both jaws and turned them around.
Wood crack!
A creepy bone crunching sound.
The bishop’s body sagged.
The priests and guardians turned their heads away, and only Saje Kim jumped in surprise.
“Why, why are you doing this! Why, Bishop!”
“I was entrusted with it. To kill this guy.”
“yes?”
“Your god told you to kill him.”
How angry would God be from his perspective?
After existing in a semi-spirit-like state for thousands of years, I finally received proper food and regained a little bit of my sense of self, but there’s someone trying to interfere with that?
He is not a good god, but a selfish god who only seeks gold, so of course he would try to get rid of him.
Even if I hadn’t killed him and left him alone, would he have recovered his divine power?
“I don’t know what happened······”
Eyes that waver and cannot keep track of things.
I patted Father Kim on the shoulder.
“You don’t have to know. Just study hard.”
“Isn’t that a child?”
“If you’re a high school student, you’re still a kid. You’re still young.”
Where are you trying to act like an adult when you’re a minor?
It’s okay if you don’t know the ugly truth for a while.
Someday, Bishop Kim will learn the truth about himself and the bishop.
Wouldn’t that be the day when Kim Sa-je truly becomes a saint?
“ah.”
Father Kim paused for a moment.
“God told me to go to the Levant.”
“That’s where your cult started. There must be something there.”
“Yes······ He asked me to find an ancient treasure vault and offer the gold there. I guess I don’t have enough strength.”
“That makes sense.”
This is also something that appears in the game.
Immediately after completing the personal quest, Priest Kim leaves the party for a moment.
He returns as an apostle with decent abilities and levels up.
But it seems a little different here.
“I think that······will take a long time.”
“Really? I can’t help it. It’s a public matter. Find the treasure house, perform the burnt offering, and take care of the religious order. It won’t be easy.”
If you’re going to do it, I should bring some holy relics too.
From what you say, it seems to be a treasure trove hidden by God while he was still alive. Since it was the heyday of the sect, the contents must be enormous.
Father Kim bowed respectfully.
“Thank you, hyung! If it weren’t for you, I really wouldn’t have been able to do anything. Oh, can I call you hyung?”
“then.”
“God keeps urging me, so I think I should leave right now. I’ll send the commission fee by mail! I don’t know if the branch in South Korea has anything you can use. Please wait a few days!”
“I’ll wait as long as you want.”
It didn’t even take a few days.
Just the next day.
Three large parcels were delivered in the name of Kim Je-sa.
I unraveled it with excitement.
The first is the bishop’s golden staff.
It was my loot.
‘Let’s sell this.’
I wonder how many hundreds of millions I will receive?
No, not hundreds of millions.
It’s something that can easily be priced at several billion.
And the second one.
Inside the box was a beautiful and practical sword.
“Ahaha.”
I couldn’t help but laugh.
[R Holy Sword]
The first R-rated weapon I ever obtained.
The wannabe of all inspectors, the Holy Sword, along with the Magic Sword.
This alone made it worthwhile to help Priest Kim.
But, but you know.
After opening the third box, I completely forgot about the Holy Sword.
It was because of a single shining relic inside the box.
