[Book of the Dead]

-Rank: E

-Effect:

-This book contains the power of Osiris .

-Can seal the dead .

-The dead, sealed in the Book of the Dead, can display even more power with the power of Osiris .

The Book of the Dead . It could simply be called a dedicated inventory for undead monsters .

‘At E rank I can use 10 pages?’

The space available at the E rank was only enough for 10 undead monsters . (TL: our author likes to reiterate things a lot, gomenasai)

The way to use it was rather simple . When using the Book of the Dead skill, a book made out of slabs would appear with the undead monsters that were sealed within appearing on the faces of the slabs .

‘It seems Johann Georg didn’t have this one…’

Kim Woo-jin had no memory of this skill . The King of Undead had never summoned any book like this before .

‘If he did, it would’ve been terrible . ’

Thank goodness .

At that time, Kim Woo-jin was able to catch the King of Undead because he was constrained by the fact that he had to fulfill the conditions before he could summon his skeletons .

But what if he was able to summon his skeletons without conditions like this?

Kim Woo-jin wouldn’t have even needed to be betrayed .

In other words, it was a terribly useful skill .

Removing the conditions for the Summon Skeleton skill was basically removing it’s only limitations . And in the case of a Skeleton Soldier sealed in the Book of the Dead with the effect of Ruler of the Battlefield accumulated beforehand, the effect would remain . (TL: someone call the GM, this is too broken, I think he’s using hacks!)

‘They can even wear items . ’

Even the items worn by the Skeleton Soldiers would remain stored on them in the Book of the Dead . This alone was already incredible .

[The Power of Osiris infects the Skeleton Soldiers . ]

[All Skeleton Soldier stats increased by 20%] (TL: I assume this means all the skeletons stored and not all that he has)

But there was still more good news . At that time, a notification sounded in Kim Woo-jin’s ear .

[Your level has increased . ]

When Kim Woo-jin lifted his head to look at the notification, a red mist that was floating in the jungle, caught his eye . (TL: and the secret of speed leveling has been revealed)

[Lizardman has been afflicted by Blood Mist]

As this notification appeared, Kim Woo-jin saw a Lizardman falling to the ground without any obvious wounds .

Kim Woo-jin rose from his seat on the ground .

‘Now it’s time to go into the tiger’s cave . ’

…

At a golf course in Yongin city, Gyeonggi province .

A lush field had grown because the golf course had been closed for a long time . And above that field, was the distorted space that represented a dungeon gate .

Suddenly, a man appeared in front of the gate .

The dungeon gate, which was large enough to fit a car in, could not be considered small, yet the man who’s size was enormous, made it appear slightly small now .

When the man appeared, he immediately collapsed on his knees .

“Ugh . ”

At the same time as he appeared, a woman could be seen approaching him hurriedly, her face filled with worry .

“Mr . Lee Jin-ah, what are you doing?”

As he heard the words of the remarkably beautiful woman, Lee Jin-ah looked up .

“My stomach…”

“Did you injure your stomach?”

“…hungry . ”

“Yes?”(TL: I think I explained it before, but sometimes they say ‘yes’ in place of ‘what’, ‘huh’, etc, I don’t put ‘what’ or ‘how’ because it doesn’t necessarily have the same feeling)

Then a new character appeared before the dungeon gate . When he appeared, he glanced at the man at the ground before calmly walking past him .

Lee Jin-ah looked up as Kim Woo-jin walked past him and complained .

“Even slaves were given breaks to eat rice…”

Up until the seventh day, hunting with Kim Woo-jin had been easy . However, from the eight-day, it’s like Kim Woo-jin took a shot .

Now that they only had three days left to hunt, he proceeded at a much faster pace(a sprint) .

Not surprisingly, the sprint that they had at the end was seemingly too much for Lee Jin-ah .

In particular, during the last three hours, before they left, Kim Woo-jin didn’t even give him the chance to drink water . (TL: I’ll be honest…I feel kinda bad for Lee Jin-ah, he’s so undervalued and underpaid, and he’s always being bullied by Woo-jin and Se-chan . )

“That devil . ”

He was a monster that could easily be mistaken as the devil .

‘No, it might be better for those he targets to fight with the devil instead . ’

Of course, Lee Jin-ah didn’t call him the devil simply because Kim Woo-jin was evil .

He looked at him . The way Kim Woo-jin used his newly acquired skills in conjunction with his older ones was eye opening .

‘No one should ever try to fight him . ’

Lee Jin-ah strengthened his resolve while looking at Kim Woo-jin’s back .

The woman who’d come to check on him, looked at Lee Jin-ah with an odd expression .

Then Kim Woo-jin turned his head to her .

“Can you contact Oh Se-chan?”

“Yes? Yes!”

The woman awoke from her stupor and took out a phone that had already been prepared . The woman immediately dialed a number then handed the phone over to Kim Woo-jin .

While this was happening, Lee Jin-ah still didn’t get up from the ground .

“What are you contacting Se-chan for?”

Kim Woo-jin replied to the question easily . (TL: omg one of the few times he doesn’t ignore Jin-ah)

“I have an order . ”

“An order?”

When Kim Woo-jin nodded, Lee Jin-ah looked at him in delight .

“Then I want a jumbo sized tray of Rajogi1 . Oh and add rice balls . ”

Kim Woo-jin looked down at Lee Jin-ah with an absurd expression on his face .

‘I think he was too comfortable while hunting . ’

Ttuk!

Then Oh Se-chan answered the call .

-Yeah, what’s up?

The moment he heard Oh Se-chan’s voice from the phone, Kim Woo-jin immediately stated his request .

“I want to go to Kaesong . ” (TL: and here I thought Woo-jin was being nice, how naive of me . )

…

Hansung Group .

The number one group in Korea’s business community and one of the world’s most influential companies was once doubted when they became the patrons of the Messiah Guild .

Why make such an investment that won’t make you any money .

But it had been 4 years since the world became like a game and by 2023 no one dared to doubt them .

The Hansung Group, the Messiah Guild’s supporter, could be said to be one of the most influential in the world .

According to the Messiah Guild, the Hansung Group was a company made to save the world, not to seek after profits .

Unsurprisingly, everything relating to the Messiah Guild had the hands of the Hansung Group in it . And sitting at the very top of the Hansung Group was none other than Park Shin-hye, the Goddess of the Messiah Guild . Not only did she have the title of chairman, but she was practically the ruler of the Hansung Group .

Because of this, she could stand in front of anyone with a proud and confident smile .

But recently her expressions were not that good . The reason wasn’t good .

“Is there still no news from Kim Je-hoon?”

“Yes, there were signs showing he went to Europe but he disappeared after hiding his tracks . ”

“Is he dead?”

“It seems so . ”

“Then where’s the body?”

“That…”

“Please get the body . Whatever the cost . ”

It was because a crack had appeared in a plan that should’ve been more than perfect .

“How are things with Park Yong-wan?”

“Currently, I’m pruning the branches around him . ”

“I don’t care about the branches . What I’m asking is when will you go for his throat?”

“Once I’ve gathered all the information on Park Yong-wan’s actions, I’ll make a move . You should see results by early next year . ”

“That means for the next half year Park Yong-wan would be able to act freely, we can’t have that . ”

There were other troubles that she couldn’t get rid of right away .

‘Park Yong-wan was a card I’d created to sacrifice when necessary, but it seems I raised it too much . ’ (TL: oooh plot twist . )

Park Shin-hye sighed briefly .

‘Why is everything becoming so complicated?”

“What about that guy?”

“That guy…”

“The one who became Park Yong-wan’s right hand . The guy who contacted Kim Je-hoon on behalf of Park Yong-wan . ” (TL: Kim Je-hoon must be spinning like a top in his grave)

“You mean Kim Woo-jin?”

Kim Woo-jin, the name that had been faint in her mind, immediately became fresh once again .

“That’s right . ”

“I’m trying to get to him, but he is being protected . It seems Park Yong-wan and the Phoenix Guild intend to nurture him . ”

“Who doesn’t know that? What I want to know is how you’re going to deal with him . ”

As they heard the words that Park Shin-hye said, her general secretary bowed their head toward her .

“I have established a team to catch Kim Woo-jin . ”

“Who is the leader?”

“It’s Suzuki . ”

For the first time in a while, Park Shin-hye nodded her head in satisfaction .

‘As the owner of Lancelot’s Ring, they’re reliable . ’ (TL: is this another item for our mc? Thanks, thanks)

“So where are they?”

“They’re currently waiting in the Kaesong Special Zone . If Kim Woo-jin shows an opening, they will move to capture him immediately . Of course, they will make sure to get all the information out of him before they kill him . ”

At that Park Shin-hye nodded and immediately stopped thinking about Kim Woo-jin . Instead her mind turned to another name .

“What about Isaac Ivanov? Do you think we can make him one of us?”

“I think we can use him in the future . Regardless of his intentions, we will have to be friendly for the time being as he has shown friendliness to our side . ”

“Okay, plan the strategy for an undefeated dungeon around him . Use him as much as you can . ”

“We already have an A+ rank dungeon in Hokkaido, Japan in mind . ”

Only then did Park Shin-hye’s somewhat tense expression relax .

‘I’m glad I finally got a useful hunting dog . ’
