Episode 7
Episode 7
“What!?”
Park Il-chim’s eyes widened. Ten thousand DP meant roughly fourteen million won. But to stake ten thousand DP on a Mission?
That was one hundred and forty million won!
“Is this some kind of major corporation agent? No. This can’t work unless they’re an agent.”
That was it.
Risk one hundred and forty million won just to verify something? Only an agent could pull off something so reckless.
Park Il-chim.
And the man on screen who’d called himself the Corpse Lord’s Majesty while viewers watched opened his mouth.
* * *
Well.
I don’t know where this person came from, but they’ve got deep pockets. They threw out a thousand DP in one go, then threw down a Mission bet.
But was all this really necessary?
Couldn’t they just look at it and tell?
It’s the Internal Destruction Technique.
I’ve heard that among Awakeners, there are Jobs like Kangho Swordmaster, junior warriors of the Namgung Clan, or even Shaolin Temple novice monks—some pretty bizarre stuff.
Honestly, Kangho Swordmaster is one thing, but what’s a Shaolin Temple novice monk? Are they supposed to stay at child-level strength forever or something?
Regardless, martial arts skills that Awakeners use are fairly well-known.
There are quite a few Awakeners using the Internal Destruction Technique.
So shouldn’t you be able to tell just by looking?
Well… I don’t know which agency they’re from.
But free money is free money, so thanks.
“Quite the big spender! If you’re that curious about my secret, it’s only natural that I explain!”
-Dad joke.
-Boomer alert?
-Wallet monster joke here?
The viewers call out my weak joke. Cheeky bastards… but I’ve still got work to do.
“The method’s simple. My Undead used the Internal Destruction Technique to blow the guy’s head open. You all know the Internal Destruction Technique, right? Those martial arts skills that specialize in destroying the interior—you follow me?”
[You have successfully completed the Mission from Big Spender.]
[You have acquired 10,000 DP.]
The system message appears.
In the Dimension Tower broadcast system, Mission fraud is impossible. The system itself judges whether a Mission succeeds or fails.
My answer was accepted as correct, so the Mission was marked as success.
Anyway.
Today’s turning out absolutely insane.
-Wait, since when has your Undead used the Internal Destruction Technique?
-Teacher, how did you teach your Undead martial arts?
-ㅋㅋㅋInternal Destructionㅋㅋㅋthis is reallyㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-I was astonished. How is this possible?
[Soy Sauce Factory has sponsored 1 DP!]
[Fishing Master with a Rod for Time has sponsored 1 DP!]
[Electric Shock Construction has sponsored 1 DP!]
[ㅇㅇㅁㅁ has sponsored 1 DP!]
Sponsorships are pouring in. Donations have already topped one hundred and twenty DP.
Considering the DP I got from the earlier bet was over twenty thousand, the total DP earned today was astronomical.
So this is the life of a popular Hunter?
I can’t help but express my gratitude.
“Thanks to everyone for sponsoring! Now, let’s all check out the reward together. You want to know what I got, right?”
-Ooooooh is it a legendary reward?
-What kind of first-clear reward does it give?
-Damn, so cool. Our Korean uncle getting the world-first title…
-Mom! I’m so happy because I’m Korean! Mom! I’m so happy because I’m Korean!
While the viewers remain in a frenzy.
A new message window appears.
[You have been the first to complete all trials of the Tutorial.]
[First-clear rewards are being generated.]
[Accumulated additional rewards are being generated.]
[Confirming that the Awakener’s Job is ‘Necromancer’.]
First-clear rewards. Combined with all the stage rewards I’d already cleared and accumulated—looks like the rewards are being generated all together.
Indeed.
What would emerge this time?
While I entertained the thought that it would be nice if I could train martial arts like I did in my previous life,
a reward appeared.
[Wondrous and Astounding Achievement!]
[You have obtained a Genesis-tier reward.]
Am I insane?
Why is a Genesis-tier reward popping up here?
Even as someone who was a Martial Sage in my previous life, I was so shocked that words escaped me for a moment.
The Dimension Tower’s rewards are divided into six tiers in total.
Common → Uncommon → Rare → Legend → Myth → Genesis, in that order.
Genesis-tier has only appeared once across the entire world up to now, and even Myth-tier is a grade that rarely materializes.
[Awakener Lee Mu-seon’s Job has been changed from ‘Necromancer’ to ‘Necron Emperor’.]
A Genesis-tier reward.
It was a Job change.
It’s not surprising that performing well on placement trials often leads to a better Job — but the problem is that this is a Genesis-tier reward.
This isn’t just an upgraded Job; it seems I’ve reached the pinnacle of Necromancer-class Jobs.
I feel good. I do feel good, but…
Why couldn’t it have changed me into a martial artist instead?
As I thought that,
another reward appeared.
What is this?
Wasn’t it supposed to end with getting a terminal Necromancer Job?
[You have obtained a Myth-tier reward.]
My jaw dropped again.
A second Myth-tier reward? Is this… is this actually happening? No. Isn’t this too generous?
[You can command one Undead outside the Dimension Tower.]
Are you kidding me? You’re letting me use Undead in reality?
Huh… this is… too much.
It was definitely excessive.
This feels even more excessive than becoming a Necron Emperor. The power of the Dimension Tower is extremely limited when used in reality.
Had it not been restricted, the world would have descended into chaos long ago. Everything would have taken on an entirely different shape.
Yet they’re letting me command one Undead?
There isn’t even a limit on what kind of Undead it can be.
If I grow strong enough later and summon something like a Death Knight or a Corpse Lord’s Majesty and walk around with it?
I could topple a small dictatorial nation by myself and rule it with an iron fist.
This surprise was so overwhelming that I found myself making the kind of blank-faced expression I’d never once pulled in my entire previous life.
Never had I been this shocked before, even back then.
And then a strange thought occurred to me.
Earth’s current population numbers in the tens of billions. The Kangho Murim of my previous life wouldn’t even compare in terms of population to Earth’s history in this life.
I spent those history classes mostly dozing off, but I remember hearing that the population in the fourteenth century was less than five hundred million.
A difference in population of more than ten times over.
In an era where such an enormous population teeths, no one had managed to clear the tenth trial of the Tutorial…
Perhaps it made sense that the rewards were so lavish.
While thinking this,
I was shocked once more.
[You have obtained a Legend-tier reward.]
Now it’s a Legend-tier reward?
The tier before Genesis is Myth. The tier before that is Legend.
Leaving aside Genesis and Myth, even Legend-tier rewards are rare to witness. When a Legend-tier appears, nations throw themselves into chaos.
News channels broadcast footage with all the national pride: “We did it! Korea pulled it off! A Legend reward appeared!”
Yet right now, I’m consuming Genesis, Myth, and Legend rewards all at once.
This… I’m never going to have a quiet life, am I?
I mean, I might as well claim I was a Martial Sage in my previous life.
Someone who ate Genesis, Myth, and Legend rewards from the Tutorial — my past life as a Martial Sage or whatever else seems almost irrelevant now.
[Your Small Undead Sub-dimension is being upgraded to an Undead Sub-dimension.]
[Your Undead Sub-dimension is being upgraded to a Second-Class Undead Sub-dimension.]
[Your Second-Class Undead Sub-dimension is being upgraded to a Third-Class Undead Sub-dimension.]
So this is what a Legend-tier reward is, huh…
This is actually quite interesting.
The small Undead Sub-dimension was, quite literally, a storage space for the undead. I’d heard that once I grew stronger, I could even construct undead-related buildings or research facilities within it.
But now it had expanded several times over.
In rural villages, there’s a administrative unit called a township—and this Undead Sub-dimension now seemed to be classified at that level.
So what did that make me?
The owner of a township? Not a village chief, but something like a township administrator?
My job title said Necron Emperor, but in practice, I was just a bureaucrat.
After I’d confirmed the third reward, that’s when it happened.
The final message appeared.
[The Tutorial is ending.]
[As a Tutorial completion reward, you will receive 1 random skill.]
[You have acquired the skill ‘Corpse Lord’s Majesty’ from the Job ‘Necron Emperor’.]
[Skill: Corpse Lord’s Majesty]
Transform all corpses within a radius of 10 meters into the lowest-tier undead, ‘Walking Corpses’.
For ‘Walking Corpses’ alone, the limit on the number you can control disappears.
What. This too? Honestly, what kind of insane skill just dropped?
—What did I just see?
—Isn’t this crazy?
—So you can really use one undead in the real world now?
—X-rated lololololol
[May fortune be with you.]
The viewers’ shock, and the Dimension Tower system’s closing blessing.
That’s how the Tutorial ended.
And my body returned in a burst of light to my room in reality.
There wasn’t even time to say goodbye to everyone.
“Whew. That was fun after a long time.”
I was utterly satisfied.
The moment I looked ahead with that thought, a curse spilled out of my mouth.
“Damn it.”
The chicken had gone completely cold!
Cursed Dimension Tower.
I’d finish the chicken first, then stream.
“Still… it felt good to cut loose for once.”
I picked up the cold chicken and headed toward the microwave.
Time to reheat it.
* * *
Park Gang-chan.
He was attending a networking party at his boss’s behest.
It was the kind of gathering where figures from politics and business mingled, and naturally, plenty of Awakeners like Park Gang-chan were here too.
A famous entertainer had come to perform, and the usual crowd was laughing and chatting loudly while trading industry gossip.
In truth, Park Gang-chan had no desire to attend, but what could he do? Among his colleagues, he was the only one remotely sociable.
‘If I’d known this would happen, I would’ve pulled some crazy stunt and gotten out of it.’
Park Gang-chan exhaled wearily.
The life of an Awakener was not an easy one.
Dying inside the Dimension Tower wasn’t truly dying, but survival was all you got—the Tower was a place where you endured every conceivable horror.
As a result, there were plenty of people who’d awakened but refused to climb the Tower.
Because of this, most of those who grimly ascended the Dimension Tower had something warped or missing in them as ordinary members of society.
‘Ah well. It’s all thanks to the teacher’s grace, I suppose.’
Park Gang-chan himself was one of those people.
Years ago.
If he hadn’t met Lee Mu-seon—whom he now regarded as his teacher—and received proper guidance, he might still be living in complete disorder.
