Level Up

< Future Industry 2 >

The work of the Mummy-King and Bloody Queen was done in a blatant manner.

The stone saw that the mummification and Bloody Queen originally started in one place, and absorbed the mummification nucleus into the Bloody Queen.

Both of them were on the verge of being Awakened as players, so they were forced to use magical power and were awakened at the same time.

I couldn't have done it so easily in the past, but now it was really nothing.

After Awakening as a player, the way to make the two as one looks natural through the mind.

And I just did.

He was able to choose whether to be a Bloody Queen as a parent or a Mumbling as a parent, and of course, he was a Bloody Queen as a parent.

It happened as soon as Hyun-seok arrived at the black market of Pyramid.

* * *

Hyun-seok was back at the airport. I didn't have to stay here to work things out.

“Where will you go now? ”

Bloody Queen asked, and he pondered for a moment.

“First... … I think I should go to New York. ”

“New York? Are you planning on doing business in the future? ”

“That's what Yang Yang Wook needs to do. ”

Hyun-seok said so, then turned his gaze to stare at the stone.

“Aren't you coming with me? ”

“Well……. ”

Im Hyung-seok didn't want to answer. I think I liked the life here.

Bloody Queen quickly hung on the arm of the stone.

Her appearance was very different after absorbing the power of the mummy king and becoming just twice as strong as before.

It used to be an elegant middle-aged wife, but now it has turned much younger and more beautiful.

Moreover, the elegance gained through my age still retained me, and I unleashed a truly deadly charm.

Critically, she gained magical power. She's probably the first person to go above 100 at the same time as the awakening.

Hyun-seok looks at the moment of her awakening and slightly unravels questions about the unknown player.

Maybe he was strong too.

That's why he got a high level at the same time as the Awakening.

Of course, it was all just speculation.

The truth can only be told through in-person, in-depth conversation.

Hyun-seok no longer asked Executioner. Maybe living like this could have been so much happier.

Not that there's no dungeon here.

And Im Hyung-seok was reliable. Perhaps what happened with Hyundai will never come out of his mouth.

Hyun-seok suddenly remembered what he had Awakened as a player just before his death.

And I could roughly guess the reason why Lim Hyung-seok woke up at that time.

This time, I gained confidence in my work on Bloody Queen and Mumming.

Hyun-seok looked at Im Seung-seok and said.

“Please feel free to contact me if you want to wake up. ”

Im Hyung-seok smiled.

“Awakening? Why would I do that? It's good enough now. ”

Imhoteok's eyes flashed when he said that. Hyun-seok laughed at it.

I thought my will was broken, but it wasn't. This man is about to make a new path.

I felt the heart in harmony.

“The next time we meet will be very different from now. ”

At the words of Lim, Hyun-seok nodded loudly.

“Of course you are. I look forward to it.”

The last thing he said was that he turned around and walked.

It's time to leave.

* * *

Kettler had a pretty comfortable life. The Arphor Knights were not technically real humans. They were merely souls.

So I didn't have to eat, I didn't have to sleep.

But Kettler enjoyed them enough. Of course, it was all I had to do to sleep without feeling the taste, but I did it constantly.

Not only did Kettler do it, all of the Arphor Knights enjoyed it.

Of course, once you enter the mission, you will give up two things in a heartbeat. It was nothing but mental comfort anyway.

The house they were staying in was pretty shabby. But no one complained about it.

It was a strange world for them.

In fact, everything in this house was curious to them.

Of course, it wasn't that the Empire where they lived didn't have similar items.

The civilization level of the empire was quite high. It was only a narrow range of those who carried it.

A really good high level of benefit was focused on very few royalty or nobles.

However, the relatively broad nobles or knights below were not so poor in quality of life.

And Kettler was one of those high quality people.

For Kettler, the civilization here was truly astonishing.

“I don't know about anything else, but that's amazing. ”

Kettler mutters as he stares at the TV screen blank. There was nothing like it during the peak of their empire.

Moreover, it's so popular that it's lying in such a shabby house.

“How much magic is in there? ”

Jared, the man next to Kettler's murmur, said:

“There's no such thing as magic. It's just science."

“Science?”

Kettler smiles bloody.

“What kind of power is there when the water flows and falls from top to bottom, and what angle is that? If that's the case, there are those who do well in our empire. ”

Jared smiles bitterly at that. I couldn't explain it any more. I don't know much about science, either.

It won't be easy for anyone other than Jared to explain a little more deeply.

I focus mostly on writing, because I don't care about how it works or who made it.

Jared was a wearer, not a maker.

“I don't think that's something you can make of that. There's definitely magic in there. ”

Jared did not take it any further. I've lived here for two days under orders to take care of them, but they were strange people.

"Can't you take off that stupid hood? ’

While living indoors, no one took off the hood. I couldn't tell how big and deep the hood was.

I was even more frustrated and curious because everyone acted like something was wrong when they showed their faces.

Of course, I didn't even want to take off the hood secretly.

They may look like them, but they're really scary.

Jared sees a man sitting there named Kettler accidentally break the door hook.

I didn't just smash it. I smashed the door hook like it was made of paper.

He said he made a mistake because he didn't think he was so weak, but he never would have.

‘You asked me to look. It's a threat, that my head or my fist could snap at any moment. ’

So I've been as careful ever since. Even when I was talking like this, I was worried that I might have crossed the line.

But I couldn't help but talk. I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't get my bearings right.

Anyway, it was like walking on ice like that. Jared waits for the situation to end.

And in order to do that, this phone needs to ring.

Jared looks down at the phone dazed. And at that moment, the phone rang like a lie.

“Huff!”

If I was so surprised, I almost missed my phone. Jared takes a deep breath and answers the phone in a calm voice.

“Jared.”

Jared's face grows brighter as he listens to commands over the phone.

“Yes, I understand. I will implement immediately. Yes. ”

Jared hangs up his phone and looks at Kettler.

“Move the house? ”

“Oh… yes. ”

Jared is not embarrassed. There's no way a monster like that couldn't hear you on the phone.

“I like that the words here are simple and easy to learn. ”

Kettler mutters and looks back. There were 100 Arphor Knights.

“So you guys better get used to talking. I can't translate for you forever. ”

The last word was Empire. That's why Jared couldn't understand a word he was saying.

I just thought there can't be that kind of language in this world.

I hadn't heard it a few times, but it was more like moaning, screaming, groaning, or noise than language.

Of course, Jared didn't even know that he needed magic to hear it right.

Anyway, that's how the move was decided.

“I'll show you where you're ready. ”

Jared leaves the building first. This was a dangerous place in the back alley of New York.

But Jared was not afraid at all.

We can't take out every dangerous one of these 101 people.

With 101 of them, what's there to be afraid of? What Jared really needs to be afraid of is how much he hates them.

“Come on, this way. ”

101 men in white robes behind Jared, deep hoods, followed.

It seemed as if a white wave was flowing.

* * *

“Hmm? Is this it? ”

“Yes.”

In Jared's polite and proud response, Kettler nods.

“This isn't... the same place I used to live." ”

“I think it's on the edge.... ”

The old place was a dangerous place. I didn't have a lot of people. And that's where the killings often happen.

Of course, none of that matters to Kettler.

“This is the most expensive hub in the city. ”

It certainly looked that way. It was surrounded by tall buildings and there were a lot of people passing by.

If Kettler's group hadn't been on that big bus, they would have all seen it at once.

The bus entered the building parking lot. There was a parking lot in the basement of the building.

It was an unusual parking spot, so no one was using it, and the Arphor Knights got out of it.

There was also a staircase that led directly up to the building.

The stairs lead up to the door on the fourth floor, where the Arphor Knights can stay.

“Oh! This isn't like the old place. ”

It was a clean and clean space. And nothing was missing.

“You can stay here. If you need anything, just pick up this phone, press this button, and let me know. ”

Jared continued to describe the home's amenities. I needed some explanation because it was very different from the old house.

“What are we doing here? ”

Kettler liked living in such a nice house. In the future, it was much more important to know what you and the Arphor Knights would do.

And I was much more interested in it. There was only a soul left, but it seemed to palpitate somehow.

“It's possible...... that there will be others invading here soon. ”

The gentle life and speculation blossoms throughout Kettler's body.

“They're... coming in here?" ”

“Yes, I think... I'm sure they'll come. ”

“That's very exciting. ”

Jared listens to Kettler, and somehow he thinks he's smiling.

I can't see his face.

“By the way... you have a guest. ”

“Yes?”

Jared gives you a curious look. A guest? This wasn't a place for anyone to come.

It was a secret floor between the floor and the floor, and I really cared a lot when remodeling the building for it.

This room, or anyone who could access this floor, was impossible unless they knew very well about it.

So no one should come to you.

Unless it was designed here by Yang Yang Wook. But Yang Yang Wok couldn't have come here. He's in Korea now.

It was Yang Yang Wook who spoke with Jared before he left. If he didn't lie, he should be in Korea.

‘You can't lie. To me.’

So it was really weird. But after a while, I could see that Kettler was right.

Yang Dong-wook and Jared only knew the door was open.

A black line formed in the center of the white wall. And the line got thicker.

The wall itself is opening. This was the only way in or out of this room.

The road to the underground parking garage is already closed.

The door was wide open. And there was a man standing there.

It was a string.

As soon as Kettler and the Arphor Knights saw the marble, they knelt on one knee and slightly tightened their heads.

Jared's eyes became so large that he could no longer see it.
