Chapter 21
21
What I mean by this is the following.
The Dimensional Tower fundamentally doesn’t allow you to bring in most real-world items.
Clothes and shoes are possible, but.
Weapons and things like that are not.
Conversely, you can bring items out of the Dimensional Tower.
Here’s where it gets interesting.
Anything you bring out of the Dimensional Tower can be brought back in again.
If it’s an item from the Dimensional Tower, then weapons and everything else are fair game.
As a result.
Hunters would repeatedly clear the same safe floor and haul items out from within the Dimensional Tower.
In Korea, they call this “Mining.”
Abroad, they call it farming.
As for me, I didn’t bring anything out when I cleared the tutorial and floors 1 and 2.
At the time, I’d gotten so focused on finally having a good fight with blood flying that I wasn’t thinking about anything else.
Besides, I was earning so many Dimensional Points that…… honestly, just converting the DP alone already makes me tycoon-level rich.
So thinking things over, I decided to start Mining to earn money and collect the resources I’d need.
Mining isn’t just about bringing out items. I also had to farm corpses. For a Necromancer, corpses are resources themselves.
I mean, there’s actually a building called the Multidimensional Corpse Pit in the town-level sub-dimension, right?
It’s a bizarre facility where five corpses from the Dimensional Tower spawn daily.
On top of that, I also need to dump large quantities of corpses from the Necron Ossuary into it.
The more Undead I put in, the greater the recovery and absolute amount of Necromantic Mana I gain—so it’s absolutely necessary.
But where am I supposed to get that many Undead from?
It’s impossible in the real world, so I have no choice but to go back into the Dimensional Tower.
Therefore, even just to do corpse Mining, I need to keep running floors 1 and 2 over and over.
So once I get some Mining done, I might as well upgrade all my buildings too.
Since Dimensional Points are overflowing, constructing the buildings I skipped last time won’t be difficult.
The Multidimensional Corpse Pit, the Corpse Processing Plant, the Flesh Workshop.
I’d built those three with DP, and the Necron Ossuary was a reward I received.
Actually, I don’t have any other buildings besides these four.
Moreover, the Corpse Processing Plant and the Flesh Workshop haven’t even been used since I built them.
Now that I think about it, what kind of corpse has appeared in the Multidimensional Corpse Pit? I should check that too, right?
I’ve got a ton to do.
I suddenly feel busy.
“So then…… I’ll turn on the broadcast and head out for Mining…….”
It was then.
Ding-dong, ding-dong.
The doorbell rang.
Is there still someone coming to visit?
I thought everyone who saw my terms last time just dusted off their hands and walked away.
Zero commission and a signing bonus of ten million Dimensional Points.
Didn’t everyone’s jaws drop when they heard those conditions?
“Who is it?”
I opened the door.
And I paused for a moment.
Standing at the door was a woman.
She wore a neat business suit and had her hair neatly combed back.
She was beautiful, but…… there was something oddly doll-like about her.
Her skin was too smooth, I guess you could say.
And most tellingly.
On her forehead.
A small mark glowed brightly.
[ANDROID]
Ah.
An android.
Humanoid androids like this have been roaming the streets for a while now.
AI and robotics technology exploded in development all at once, and mass production of androids indistinguishable from humans began.
The problem is that society got messy because people can’t tell them apart.
Which is why the Android Special Law was created.
There is a law mandating that every android must bear a marking on their head indicating they are an ‘android.’
That glowing [ANDROID] marking on the forehead—that’s the one.
Without it, the android is illegal, illegally modified.
And among the companies manufacturing these humanoid androids, the top of the line is
Skynuri, a tech conglomerate that recently dethroned all competitors to claim first place in Korea.
Skynuri is a rather peculiar company, though.
They don’t manufacture and distribute directly.
They sell only the technology.
Knowledge called Magitech.
In other words, Skynuri is the company that succeeded in applying the Dimensional Tower’s technology to the real world to some degree, and they provision the designs and techniques to partner firms in exchange for royalties.
That is to say, the designs and technology for this android before us come from Skynuri, while the manufacturing and sales are handled by Woongryuk, the major conglomerate Park Gang-chan belongs to.
In fact, this android is one of Woongryuk’s flagship products.
But… they sent an android? From where?
Just because it has Woongryuk technology and Skynuri design doesn’t mean Woongryuk necessarily sent it.
This is something sold on the open market.
Anyone with money can buy one.
While I was turning it over in my head,
Zing.
The android’s forehead marking shone even brighter, and a bluish hologram window materialized before it.
A man appeared on the hologram screen.
“First time meeting you, Awakened One Lee Mu-seon. Or should I call you the Deathless Sovereign?”
A neatly groomed man.
Intelligent, yet his eyes gleamed with a strange, piercing brightness.
“I am Kim Yu-han of Skynuri.”
“First time meeting you as well. I’m Lee Mu-seon. I’m a bit surprised the chairman would reach out directly like this.”
I meant it.
Well, not that the chairman actually came, but—why is he making a video call?
I’m fairly exceptional, sure.
But am I really at that level?
“Haha. It’s an important matter. Besides, in the Dimensional Tower community, you might know me better by a different name.”
“A different name?”
“Big Spender Uncle.”
Ah.
That’s when I slapped my knee.
“Ah! I kept wondering who would burn 140 billion so freely. So it was Chairman Kim Yu-han? That makes sense now. I’d been puzzled about who would throw down such an enormous amount like that, but it checks out.”
The world’s foremost magnate.
A top-ranking player in Korea, occupying a place on the Platinum Ten Star.
The man known as Arcane Professor.
Of course someone of that caliber would burn 140 billion without blinking.
Actually, it makes perfect sense.
Kim Yu-han on the screen squinted his eyes slightly.
“You seem… less surprised than I expected.”
“What’s there to be surprised about? A wealthy person is a wealthy person.”
In my past life, I saw emperors and martial lords both.
I even beat the daylights out of some of them.
The world’s foremost magnate?
Well.
Impressive, sure, but that doesn’t mean I have reason to grovel before him.
* * *
On the other side of the screen,
Kim Yu-han was admiring quietly to himself.
‘Hm. I contacted him directly, yet he’s this composed.’
Most people would be nervous or overexcited.
One or the other.
He’d seen countless people break into cold sweat the moment a major conglomerate chairman appeared.
And he himself stood above even that.
Yet this man before him
spoke with him as casually as if chatting with the owner of a neighborhood convenience store.
‘As expected. Not an ordinary man.’
If anything, he found himself more intrigued.
Martial arts beyond analysis.
And that audacity.
The deeper I dig into this man, the more interesting things I’ll unearth.
“I’ll be direct with you.”
Kim Yu-han opened his mouth.
“Would you consider becoming an exclusive Hunter for Skynuri?”
At those words.
Lee Mu-seon responded without any particular alarm.
“Have you reviewed my terms?”
“I’m already aware of them. Zero commission. Ten million DP signing bonus.”
“I agree.”
In that moment.
Lee Mu-seon’s eyebrow twitched ever so slightly.
A faint glimmer of admiration crossed his face.
‘He’s accepting such a ridiculous offer without hesitation?’
Lee Mu-seon was thinking Kim Yu-han would be stunned if he knew.
There was no helping it, really.
Zero commission meant the company made nothing off him.
And then they were just handing over a non-recoverable signing bonus of 140 billion DP?
It was the kind of condition that would make any corporation’s jaw drop before they bolted.
To accept it without question meant.
‘He wants something from me. Something badly.’
Well.
It didn’t matter.
Whatever the other side was after.
It wasn’t a losing proposition for him.
“Excellent. Shall we draw up the contract, then?”
“A wise decision.”
A contract materialized across the holographic screen, unfurling line by line.
Reading through it, the terms were exactly as I had demanded.
Not a single clause added.
“I agree to the contract.”
As I spoke.
[Exclusive Hunter contract with Skynuri has been established.]
A system message from the Dimensional Tower appeared cleanly on the screen.
“Moving forward, I look forward to our partnership, Lord Spirit Reaper. Should you require anything, please don’t hesitate to ask. The android I’ve sent will assist you.”
“Yes, thank you.”
With those words.
The holographic screen flickered off smoothly.
* * *
A room where the screen had gone dark.
In that space where the mana conduits pulsed with sapphire light.
Kim Yu-han sat deep in his chair, staring at the extinguished screen.
“I’ve established the connection, at least.”
His lips curved slowly upward.
“Step by step. I’ll uncover your secrets, Lee Mu-seon.”
That ability to carve martial power into corpses, to manifest the Dimensional Tower’s knowledge in reality itself—
He would excavate it all.
“I can hardly wait.”
The mana conduits overhead brightened still further, as if in response to his anticipation.
* * *
“As of today, I am secretary-model android A0-912, registered as belonging to user Lee Mu-seon. It’s a pleasure to serve you.”
“I see.”
Androids had become commonplace, true, but procuring one that was completely identical to a human—like the beautiful secretary android before me—from an ordinary household was unrealistic.
They were expensive. Not just expensive, but eye-wateringly so.
Could someone earning about forty million won a year realistically drive around in a hundred-million-won foreign car?
It was technically possible if you stretched your finances to the breaking point, but ordinarily people bought domestic vehicles instead.
Though androids had become invaluable for household labor in this age, even the cost-effective models ran tens of millions of won.
As for fully anthropomorphic units like this one—the price tag was so astronomical that most people wouldn’t even consider it.
“From now on, your name is Jegal Yu-yeon.”
Jegal Yu-yeon.
The name of the Grand Strategist of the Martial Alliance who had tormented me relentlessly in my past life.
She’d concocted all manner of schemes, each more irritating than the last.
‘The unit’s designation has been updated.’
“Good. Tell me what a secretary-type android can do.”
‘This unit can…’
According to the explanation, a secretary-type android could handle everything from household chores to external schedule management and even tax preparation.
Isn’t this just like Alfred, that all-purpose butler from the Batman movies?
