Episode 29
Episode 29
I’d only just confirmed that the Ossuary had a maximum capacity of ten thousand remains.
And as those ten thousand filled every last slot to bursting,
my Undead Control shot up an absurd 143.
“Wow… I still can’t believe this is even possible.”
The words tumbled out as I sat on the Imperial Throne.
My Level had climbed from 13 to 20 in a single breath.
And my Control stat had reached that insane number of 143 from just 29.
On top of that, I now commanded an undead army of ten thousand!
All of it accomplished in the span of a single day—it was almost laughable.
And inside the Sub-Dimension,
there still remained 1,921 additional remains that hadn’t fit in the Ossuary.
I’d decided to just leave them standing there for now.
An achievement only the Lich Emperor could pull off—something no other Necromancer could manage!
I was in the middle of reviewing all this when it happened.
[Remarkable Achievement!]
[You have achieved the Fastest Level 20 Attainment Achievement.]
[Achievement reward generated.]
[You have obtained a Legendary Grade reward.]
“Oh? Another Legendary Grade showing up?”
The Dimension Tower seemed to be handing them out like candy at this point.
One achievement and they’re throwing a Legendary Grade at me again?
“This is seriously broken. Like, actually busted.”
-What, another Legendary?
-Is Si Ryeong Mu-Jok getting rewards for a living or something?
-The Dimension Tower is totally playing favorites with Si Ryeong Mu-Jok, right?
-I’m so jealous. Seriously.
-We could mine ore for a month and never get this once.
-Si Ryeong Mu-Jok makes me feel robbed, +1.
The chat had erupted into chaos again.
Half envy, half resentment.
Well, I understood.
Most people would go their whole lives without seeing a Legendary Grade reward even once, and I’d already lost count of how many I’d gotten.
Two Legendary Grade rewards in a single day!
I hadn’t even used the Hero Spirit Summoning Stone from earlier, and now another one pops up? Of course they’re all going to feel their chests tighten and their blood boil. That’s only natural.
So what, exactly, is this Legendary Grade reward?
[You have obtained 1 Hero Corpse Summoning Stone.]
Wait, what? The system isn’t actually… orchestrating this, is it? Did I just get a matching set with the last one?
[Hero Corpse Summoning Stone]
Grade: Legendary
A summoning stone that randomly summons the corpse of an entity worthy of being called a hero.
Can be crafted into an undead or used as a resource.
Function: Hero Corpse Summoning
Function: Bound
I didn’t even know whether to call this insane or what.
This didn’t look random to me at all.
[Big Hand Ahjussi has sent 1,000 Dimension Points as a donation!]
The system is starting to show favoritism, it seems. This is proof that the Dimension Tower is watching you, Si Ryeong Mu-Jok. Some of the Super Rookies have experienced something similar.
Ah, yeah—I’m aware of that. Among the famous rankers, there are quite a few who seem suspiciously lucky, landing incredible rewards out of nowhere.
And now,
I was one of those people being watched by the Dimension Tower.
Well… it makes sense, doesn’t it?
There’s nobody else using Martial Arts through undead like I do.
“Hmm—as expected of me. Everyone, feel free to praise me!”
-Praise… I guess I should?
-Ughhwhydoesthisburmysomuch?
-I’m losing my mind rightnoooow lolololol
I chuckled to myself, watching the viewers lose it over my boasting.
Anyway, I’d spent far too long inside the Dimension Tower today.
It’s about time to wrap up the broadcast.
“Alright then. Let’s call it here for today’s stream.”
I’d mined enough ore, and the rewards had been more than generous.
This haul was more than sufficient for today’s work—it was overflowing abundance.
“I hope you all enjoyed. Please keep the donations coming next time.”
-No, don’t go, hyung!
-Where am I supposed to get my dopamine now?!
-Just one more floor! One more!
-Please, hyung, let’s mine just once more!
I ignored the viewers’ pleas and ended the broadcast.
Today had been incredible.
Packed solid with content from start to finish.
Nothing in my past life—not even drinking an elixir—compared to this windfall.
But.
Even though the broadcast is over, I still have work to do.
And that is?
Using the two summoning stones.
I’d considered using them during the stream as well.
But I decided to handle this privately and quietly, since these are random draws.
Depending on who appears, the situation changes completely.
If something strange shows up, that could be a real problem.
A hero wouldn’t exactly be of sound mind. If some lunatic materializes, I’m in trouble.
Blood! Murder! Cannibalism! Kyaaaagh! What do I do then?
“I could always show them on the next broadcast.”
Or I could keep them hidden as a secret weapon instead.
Though, truth be told, I wasn’t sure there was any real need to save them as secret weapons.
With just Heuk Gang and Baek Gang, I already had more than enough power.
“Let me summon the spirit first and then decide.”
I pulled out the two summoning stones while seated on the Imperial Throne.
Two small crystals resting in my palm.
A Hero Spirit Summoning Stone.
And a Hero Corpse Summoning Stone.
“Spirit first.”
I needed to see who the spirit was before deciding how to use the corpse.
I picked up the spirit summoning stone and gently poured my intent into it.
“Hero Spirit Summoning Stone, activate.”
Whoooosh!
The stone in my hand blazed with brilliant azure light.
The glow spread outward in all directions, painting a massive magic circle beneath my feet.
Runic characters spun, radiating an eerie luminescence.
From the center of the magic circle, bluish mist began to rise.
The Dimension Tower really had lavished effort on these visual effects.
[Hero Spirit Summoning Stone has been used.]
[Due to the Necron Emperor’s class effect, Causality Affinity is deep. The hero spirit most beneficial to you will be summoned.]
“Oh. It does that much?”
A gasp of admiration escaped me unbidden.
So it’s not actually random—it picks the spirit most useful to me?
That’s basically just handing everything over, isn’t it?
“Necron Emperor class bonus. Is this seriously broken?”
At this point, the stories about the Dimension Tower favoring Super Rookies actually felt true.
This wasn’t favoritism anymore—it was outright reverence.
I was marveling at the summon when it happened.
[Caution.]
[The spirit has been disturbed from its Eternal Rest and descends in a state of wrathful fury.]
“…What the hell, System?”
A curse slipped out before I could stop it.
“Now you tell me this?”
I could’ve at least prepared myself mentally if you’d warned me earlier.
Telling me this right before the spirit manifests—what kind of joke is that?
“Damn it, System. Seriously.”
Even as I grumbled, the magic circle continued its unbroken rotation.
The pale blue mist grew denser by the moment, congealing into a single form.
[A Legendary Grade Hero Spirit has been summoned.]
“Tsk. An enraged Legendary Grade spirit, then.”
My mind raced through calculations in rapid succession.
If control failed, could Heuk Gang and Baek Gang together suppress it?
Legendary Grade wasn’t exactly a gentle rank, to be honest.
Still, if the two of them worked in concert, I figured we could pin it down somehow.
I was turning these thoughts over quickly, watching the magic circle, when it happened.
At the circle’s heart, the blue mist began to take human form.
Luxuriant black hair fell in long, flowing waves, bound by a delicate ornamental band.
Draped in an elegant scholar’s robe, she possessed a mysterious, ethereal beauty.
A truly stunning woman!
Yet the moment I saw her face, I could not suppress my shock.
“…What?”
The congealing spirit finally took on its complete form.
Standing before me was a single woman.
A beauty embodying the very essence of Eastern grace.
Her black hair gleamed with lustre, her eyes deep as mountain lakes.
Her features were finely proportioned, her nose line smooth and elegant.
Red lips curved slightly, pressed together in a thin line.
For one in a state of anger, her brow was only subtly furrowed.
The summoned spirit’s lips opened slowly, and a single phrase escaped.
-Who dares disturb my Eternal Rest?
Her voice was refined and composed.
Yet the anger that dwelt within it was far from mild.
‘Why are you appearing here of all places?’
But truthfully, her face struck me far harder than her voice.
Because.
The face of the spirit hovering before me.
Was a face I knew far too well.
That brilliant strategist who had tormented me so thoroughly in my past life.
The Murim Alliance’s brain—she who had orchestrated schemes without number to make a fool of me.
The very person whose name I had given to my secretary android.
Chief Strategist of the Murim Alliance.
Jegal Yu-Yeon.
Her spirit—that very woman’s soul—had just been summoned before my eyes!
The Dimension Tower system had summoned the spirit most likely to aid me?
And that spirit just happened to be the woman who had given me the most headaches in my past life?
The Causality is deep—that much is fine—but this is too deep!
Her eyes turned toward me.
A sharp, whistling sound.
The blue mist surrounding her began to churn violently.
Even as a spirit, the very air around her felt heavy and oppressive.
‘So she really is an enraged spirit, then.’
“Strategist, compose yourself.”
I spoke calmly from my seat upon the Imperial Throne.
Surprising as this was, there was no reason to falter, was there?
If anything, it was intriguing.
This Dimension Tower is clearly no ordinary place.
It must certainly have been created by some incredibly powerful divine being.
-Strategist? So you know of me, then.
Jegal Yu-Yeon’s eyes narrowed slightly.
Her gaze, filtering through the blue mist, raked over me from head to foot.
“Better than anyone alive.”
I answered with a light scoff.
-I do not know you. If you woke me from my slumber, the courtesy demands you reveal your name.
Her spirit drifted a step closer toward me.
-One who disturbs my Eternal Rest must observe at least that much propriety.
Even as she spoke, I saw her lift one delicate finger in a casual gesture.
A sharp, piercing wail.
The mist around her condensed like needles, growing solid and sharp. Though she existed as a spirit, she was clearly attempting to weave a Magic Technique.
Of course. Even in her past life, Jegal Yu-Yeon had been a master of Magic Technique.
As the eldest daughter of the Jegal Family, she had glimpsed Heavenly Secrets, wielded Magic Technique, and mastered both Formation Mastery and Mechanical Construct Mastery.
To be honest.
She was a genius at everything except Martial Arts.
Though even Martial Arts wasn’t entirely beyond her—she had still reached the pinnacle of transcendence in that too.
