Chapter 167: The Swordsman’s Adventures in New Seoul (2)

The soul connection between Tae-ju and Danggumak.

Dimensional exchange mediated through the Infinite Space Shared Warehouse.

The Immortals could experience Earth’s culture indirectly through movies and dramas.

However, that alone was insufficient.

Could indirect experience compare to direct experience?

Thoughts that had always existed in the Immortal Realm. If they could go to Earth, they wanted to try this and visit that place.

One of the places that appeared frequently in dramas and movies.

That place was none other than clubs.

One might ask what business an Immortal had showing interest in places like clubs.

But how could one not be curious?

Flashy lights and music that naturally stirred excitement, mating – countless young people gathered for the purpose of yin-yang union.

Yin-yang union was perfectly natural.

Through it, the world was maintained and civilization continued.

It should be actively encouraged among young men and women.

Of course, the Swordsman hadn’t come here for the purpose of yin-yang union.

It was merely curiosity.

And collecting Achievement titles.

When he returned to the Immortal Realm, he should have bragging rights to say ‘I’ve been there too. It was nothing special.’

First, let’s observe the entrance situation.

The Swordsman knew from watching dramas.

If you’re old and shabby-looking, you get banned at the entrance.

‘If you’re handsome and tall, you pass through safely.’

The same went for women.

Of course, there were those who entered regardless of appearance.

People who obviously looked wealthy.

Or Awakened with patterns on their faces.

These people passed through safely regardless of appearance or gender.

‘Youth, money, and being Awakened…’

Conditions could be met if needed.

Handsome looks were already equipped by default, so he just needed to become younger.

The Swordsman cast rejuvenation magic.

Ah, using rejuvenation magic to avoid being banned from a club entrance.

…So what?

Wrinkles smoothed out, and eyebrows and white hair turned black.

Whoosh, even his beard was plucked out to the roots.

‘Hmm.’

The Swordsman checked his face with his smartphone.

‘Handsome.’

Indeed, it was a face that wouldn’t fall short anywhere.

One more thing to finish.

‘Better to be certain, right?’

Swish.

An awakening pattern naturally appeared from his left cheek down to under his chin.

Now it was perfect.

Anyone could see he was an Awakened, right?

The Swordsman walked naturally toward the club entrance.

He didn’t even stand in line.

All the Awakened he’d observed so far had done the same.

However.

“Wait a moment, are you here alone?”

“Y-yes, that’s right.”

“You’re an Awakened. We need to see your Awakened ID. There are so many fakes these days.”

“I didn’t bring it.”

“Oh, then you can’t enter…”

“But I have this instead.”

The Swordsman waved the black card Tae-ju had given him in front of the entrance guard’s eyes.

“Ah!”

The guard nodded.

The Baekdu Black Card exclusively for VVIPs.

You couldn’t have one just by being wealthy.

The same went for Awakened.

You had to be at least Superior Expert level to maybe get one issued.

He wasn’t that handsome.

A face that would get banned at the entrance if he weren’t Awakened.

But if he was wearing luxury clothes, wearing a genuine watch, and even owned a black card?

“Please go in. Do you have a specific MD you’re looking for…?”

“Connect me with anyone.”

Thus, the Swordsman entered the Arabian Octagon, known as Gangnam’s finest club, with confident steps.

Three bottles of champagne and room fees cost 5 million won in advance payment.

With this, Achievement title accomplished.

If this were a gaming situation…

[You have achieved an Achievement.]

[Clubber Immortal who successfully entered a premium club.]

This would appear.

* * *

Finally caught the tail.

It wasn’t Kim Dong-hun but the Ministry of National Intelligence that did it.

Indeed, the gap between professionals and amateurs was vast.

To bring in the Ministry of National Intelligence, he had no choice but to explain everything to the Emperor and Geum Su-ho – what caused the Moscow explosion and what schemes that bastard Vincent was plotting.

Naturally, they were shocked beyond belief.

The Ministry of National Intelligence gave their all.

Daniel is not human.

A robot? Or a cyborg, or perhaps a golem.

Anyway, that bastard itself was an electronic mechanical artifact.

He entered the Samhan Empire from outside.

His original location was probably Europe or somewhere close to it.

But he had no belongings whatsoever.

No smartphone, no ID, no money…

So a few days ago, he took Daniel out of the Infinite Space again, took a photo of him with his smartphone, and sent it to Chief Mun Gyeong-sik of the Ministry of National Intelligence.

Asking if there were records of someone with this face entering Samhan.

Fortunately, contact came.

– Chairman, this is Mun Gyeong-sik.

“Ah! Did you find him by any chance?”

– Yes, it was very difficult, but we did find him.

“How?”

– First, we combed through Gurye Airport CCTV. We looked back up to 3 days maximum, but couldn’t find him. So we focused on Gurye Train Station.

– There was footage of him. He took a train that departed from New Seoul Airport two days ago.

– So we also got New Seoul Airport CCTV footage and searched all night, and discovered one interesting scene.

– After getting off at New Seoul Airport’s arrival hall and heading to the train station, he took something out of a trash can and tore it to shreds…

“That thing, by any chance?”

– That’s right. It was a passport. We immediately searched the garbage disposal facility where airport waste is processed. With police cooperation, we found and pieced together the forged passport he had torn up.

“That’s fortunate.”

The face on the passport was the same, but the name wasn’t Daniel—it was Dominic Jones.

Probably a false identity.

After that, everything proceeded smoothly.

Based on the forged passport, we traced back the route he took to get here…

– We’ve confirmed it back to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. From there he came through Burma and the Kingdom of Vietnam to enter the Samhan Empire. We’ve currently sent a cooperation request to the Saudi government and are waiting for results.

“Just let me know where he originally departed from. Oh! What about additional information on Vincent Moretti?”

– Well, during the great Moscow explosion, all the major government figures of the European Empire died…

That meant everyone who knew even a little about Vincent was dead.

Clean evidence destruction.

If an explosion had occurred in Gurye too, the situation wouldn’t have been different.

Anyway, they avoided the explosion, secured evidence to track Vincent, and the search was progressing.

‘Results should come soon.’

But what about the Swordsman?

He had asked to be contacted when they found the guy…

Of course he should contact him.

If the Swordsman joined them, they could crush any unexpected situation with force.

‘He seems to have gone to the club today, so I should contact him tomorrow.’

Surely he wouldn’t cause any major trouble?

* * *

Thump thump thump thump!

The club DJ’s hands moving brilliantly, EDM music filling the club, young people jumping up and down cheering.

The Swordsman enjoyed this moment.

Since he had reserved a room on the 2nd floor, the MD had brought a line of women for booking, but he poured them each a glass of champagne, took a selfie together, and sent them away.

Then he went out of the room alone and watched Earth’s youth having fun, filming them with his smartphone.

Because he had achieved an Achievement.

[Immortal who got booked at a club but coolly declined.]

Whatever he did, wasn’t it all a first time?

Experiences he couldn’t have in the human world or the Immortal Realm.

‘Hehehe, everyone will be shocked senseless.’

The Achievements he was accomplishing one by one.

These were all bragging rights.

[First Immortal to descend to Earth.]

[Top instructor Immortal who took disciples on Earth.]

[Tycoon Immortal who uses a VVIP black card.]

[Speed demon Immortal who reached 250km/h on a new bike.]

[Gourmet Immortal who tasted premium mango shaved ice.]

.

.

.

He had to film and photograph everything to preserve it.

That way he wouldn’t be treated like a braggart.

When he had confessed before about meeting Kim Tae-ju in a dream, how much mockery did he endure when they called it nonsense?

This time he had evidence, so there was no way out.

They’d probably go crazy with envy.

If there was one regrettable thing.

‘I heard that when you’re alone like this, women approach to get your number…’

But even after waiting a long time, no one came.

He could understand why.

‘It’s because I’m too handsome.’

Definitely.

They must have assumed he had someone and given up on getting his number entirely.

What a shame.

Who knew being too handsome would be an obstacle?

It was a chance to acquire the title [Immortal who got hit on by a young lady at a club], though of course he planned to politely decline.

Still, he had achieved enough other Achievements…

‘Should I leave now?’

There were so many more Achievements to accomplish besides this place.

But then.

‘Hm?’

Over there, a club MD was forcibly dragging a heavily intoxicated woman.

‘Tsk tsk, she drank too much.’

For harmonious yin-yang union, it’s better to drink in moderation.

Just as they passed right by him!

A very impure smell flowing from the woman’s body.

Something was mixed in with the alcohol.

Well, look at that?

‘He drugged her.’

He had seen through dramas that similar incidents often occurred at clubs.

The Swordsman was displeased.

Truly, yin-yang union should proceed according to mutual consent between men and women.

‘I can’t just stand by.’

Moreover, it was a chance to eliminate injustice and acquire a title.

‘Will I get to directly do what I’ve seen in dramas and movies?’

A role only given to protagonists?

‘Another bragging right will be born.’

The Swordsman slowly followed behind.

* * *

Tsuchida Tomoya was the third-generation heir of Fujii Construction, a Japanese conglomerate dominating Samhan’s apartment industry, and simultaneously a shareholder of Arabian Octagon.

Tsuchida had a prey he’d been targeting for a long time.

She was an actress.

A rookie actress whose value had risen after a drama she appeared in as a supporting role became a hit.

He liked her.

Not just her face, but her figure was also top-grade.

That’s why she was popular despite being a supporting actress.

But she wouldn’t give in easily.

He had tried approaching her at filming locations or directly at her management company, but it didn’t work at all.

Then he learned some information.

That rookie actress Lee Yun-mi had come to Arabian Octagon today with her friends.

She probably had no idea.

That he was a shareholder here.

So he began his operation.

He seduced her friends first.

After separating them from her side one by one, he drugged her drink.

Her friends would be oblivious.

He had attached handsome men to them and made them drunk with premium alcohol.

“Hey! Are we there yet? You said it was ready?”

“Don’t worry, she’s coming now.”

“It’s hard to get a look at the actress’s face.”

“You’re just going to look at her face and leave?”

“Hey, that’s not it. There’s effort that went into waiting for this.”

There was also a friend in the room.

He was a Japanese Regular-grade Awakened named Arai Kento.

“But Tsuchida.”

“What?”

“Are you going to date that bitch?”

“Kekeke, if I was going to date her, I’d use the direct approach. Why would I drug her?”

“Then can I have a turn too?”

“After I’m done, you can have your turn.”

“Oh! Sugoi!”

Soon, the door opened.

A woman with hazy, unfocused eyes was practically carried in by the MD.

“She’s here. You’re Lee Yun-mi, right?”

“Hehehe, that’s right.”

Lee Yun-mi couldn’t regain her senses.

She couldn’t control her body at all.

She wanted to scream but no words would come out.

‘Wh-where did my friends go?’

She had just carelessly drunk the beer on the table, but from that moment her consciousness had been going in and out.

Even so, she could clearly recognize that bastard’s face.

‘…Tsuchida Tomoya, that son of a bitch.’

Panting like a dog in heat, and when things didn’t go his way, he resorted to this?

She had to get out of here.

But resistance was impossible.

She didn’t even have the strength to struggle.

She could only watch with blurry eyes what those bastards were doing in the room.

Tsuchida handed a thick wad of money to the MD and said.

“Good work. Use this to buy yourself a meal.”

“Thank you.”

Then he grabbed Lee Yun-mi by the hair.

“You Joseon bitch! If you had accepted the sponsorship offer from the beginning, this wouldn’t have happened, would it? You even stole our apartment advertisement.”

Seeing this, the MD who had received the money slowly turned around and grabbed the door handle.

Now he just had to guard the door from outside until it was over…

That’s when it happened.

CRASH!

The entire door exploded outward.

“Huh?”

THWACK!

The wooden door flew straight into the MD’s head and struck him down.

“Gack!”

Following that, a man who appeared to be an Awakened strode in, saying incomprehensible words.

“There are achievements scattered all over the place.”

Tsuchida Tomoya and Arai Kento were startled.

Looking at his face, he seemed like an Awakened, but why was he here?

Arai stood up first.

“Chikusho! Who are you? How dare you come here?”

But instead of an answer, a large fist came flying.

THWACK!

“Gyaak!”

“Hehehe, beating Earth’s Awakened isn’t exactly a common experience either.”

Just one hit.

It was just a punch, but he couldn’t even dodge it.

‘Wh-what.’

Tsuchida was flustered.

Thwack thwack thwack thwack!

His friend Arai was a Regular-grade Awakened. But he was being beaten helplessly.

This guy he’d never seen before came in and immediately started beating them while laughing.

“Excellent!”

Thwack thwack thwack thwack!

He had already collapsed from the first punch, but the beating continued.

He was even beating him with just one hand.

The other hand was filming with a smartphone.

Tsuchida Tomoya quietly got up and tried to slip away.

The best strategy was to avoid crazy people at all costs.

However.

“Oh ho, where do you think you’re going.”

“Hiiiik!”

Thwack!

Tsuchida Tomoya also got hit.

“Gguaak!”

Thwack thwack thwack thwack!

The Swordsman beat them while controlling his strength for maximum effect.

Although there was no satisfaction in the beating itself, wasn’t this all bragging material?

Just thinking about gathering the Immortals and telling them his heroic tales made him tingle with excitement.

He’d beat one guy, then when he got bored, beat the other guy, then gather both of them and take turns beating them alternately, continuing the beating.

He beat them while anticipating the enjoyable moments to come.

Suddenly.

“Hmm?”

The Swordsman paused his assault for a moment.

The woman collapsed on the sofa caught his eye.

“Could it be…”

He approached her, still unconscious.

“Oh!”

He grabbed her hand.

Then he circulated his immortal energy to drive out the drug’s effects from her body.

“Aren’t you actress Lee Yun-mi who appeared in Strange Judge Yoon Ah-yoon? You played the protagonist’s fellow judge colleague.”

“…Ah, yes yes.”

“I’m a fan! Hahaha.”

Strange Judge Yoon Ah-yoon was once the most popular drama in the Immortal Realm.

It especially received the highest praise from the Hwangcheon-gye Magistrates and Chasas.

Lee Yun-mi had also appeared in a supporting role, delivering refreshing verdicts against criminals that gave the people of the Immortal Realm and Hwangcheon-gye a satisfying catharsis.

“Could we take a photo together just once…”

Lee Yun-mi was bewildered.

He suddenly appeared and beat up Tsuchida Tomoya and his friend like dogs, then suddenly grabbed her hand?

She thought he was the same type of guy, but when he held her hand, the drug’s effects completely disappeared.

Then with an innocent face, he said he was a fan and asked to take a photo.

“S-sure.”

“It’s an honor. My colleagues will probably be so shocked they’ll faint.”

Click!

Making V-signs while taking photos together.

[Immortal rewarded for taking selfies with celebrities.]

“I’d like to talk more about the drama, but since you’ve been through something terrible, forget about it and go home to get some good rest.”

“…Yes.”

“These guys seem like they haven’t been beaten enough yet.”

And he beat them again.

Thwack thwack thwack thwack!

When they seemed to have lost consciousness, he woke them up with immortal energy and beat them again.

Thwack thwack thwack thwack!

“Argh! Argh! P-please spare…”

“P-please, I was wr… Gaaah! Aaaaah!”

He had been beating them for quite a while when.

“Freeze! Hands up!”

Police officers suddenly burst in.

The Swordsman’s eyes sparkled.

‘An Achievement.’

The Swordsman stopped beating them and obediently held out both arms.

“Ahem, please put on the handcuffs.”

“…”

The police officers hesitated as they looked at the assault suspect who was smiling brightly after brutally beating up two people.

Click!

But they still managed to put the handcuffs on safely.

[Suspect Immortal arrested by police and handcuffed.]

Achievements are endless.
