Chapter 57. Holy Sword (2)
The Champion Trophy granted as an SSS Rank privilege was an extraordinarily rare item.
It could not be traded, bestowed only upon those who achieved overwhelming results in the Tower.
Jeong Hyun-soo had cleared Floors 11 through 20 consecutively at SSS Rank.
One Champion Trophy had accumulated per floor this time as well, and this occasion was no different.
“I’m expanding the Seongso.”
[Consuming 10 Champion Trophies to enhance the Trait Seongso.]
[The Seongso has expanded!]
[Seuil, who was conducting research, nods at the widened landscape.]
[Oil expresses satisfaction that there is now more area to run through.]
[Oil beats his chest.]
[Oil asks when you’ll free the Orc.]
“Later.”
[Oil seems displeased but says he understands for now.]
Jeong Hyun-soo glanced at the Seongso’s description.
[Champion Trophies required for the next Trait Enhancement: 15]
To upgrade the Seongso next time, the number of required Champion Trophies had increased.
But that didn’t matter. He had no plans to expand the Seongso for a while anyway.
“We don’t need to stay in the Tower any longer.”
At Jeong Hyun-soo’s words, Jeong Su-jin and Jeong Un-chan brightened visibly.
They’d managed to eat and sleep, but Su-jin hadn’t properly bathed in over ten days.
“So the Safe House has been decided?”
“Yes.”
“Where is it? Could it be a renovated Safe House that the Hanwool Guild has been using?”
“Something like that would eventually be discovered.”
The Association’s gaze reaches everywhere. They might hide for a time, but exposure of their movements was inevitable as long as they were alive.
That was why Jeong Su-jin had already steeled herself to spend her entire life evading Seon Woo-hyun, moving from Safe House to Safe House.
“Still, we can’t live in the Tower forever.”
“That’s why I said I prepared something.”
“What exactly is this preparation?”
“You two will become my Summoned Beings.”
Jeong Su-jin tilted her head.
“I’m… sorry?”
What did you just say?
“Did you just say Summoned Beings?”
“That’s right. If you become my Summoned Beings and enter a Sub-dimension that only Summoned Beings can access, the Association will have no way to track you.”
Logically, it made sense. It appeared rational enough. Certainly, if one only considered evading the Association.
“Are you… joking with me right now?”
But for Jeong Su-jin, the very word Summoned Being could only provoke fury.
She had been exploited by Seon Woo-hyun for years. And now—Summoned Being.
Wasn’t this yet another demand to submit herself, to become dependent upon Jeong Hyun-soo?
“So you’re showing your true colors now? But you chose the wrong person. Summoned Being? Why should I agree to that? I won’t forget the kindness you showed me by saving me from Seon Woo-hyun. But… I don’t think we can continue together. Once things stabilize, I’ll repay your help however I can. That settles it then. Un-chan, let’s go.”
Jeong Su-jin turned away, disappointment etched across her face. Tears pricked unbidden at her eyes.
‘What was I even hoping for?’
In the end, this was how human relationships worked.
“So you do everything alone, do you?”
“…I’m sorry?”
“Why do Koreans never listen to what someone’s actually saying?”
“Is there any need to listen?”
“Of course there is. Do you think I’d have mentioned Summoned Being without knowing your circumstances?”
“A Summoned Being is a Summoned Being—what’s the difference?”
“There’s a difference.”
Jeong Hyun-soo shrugged his shoulders.
“It’s not coercion between a Summoner and Summoned Being. You exchange a contract with each other, and all you need do is take on the title of my Summoned Being and live in a different dimension.”
“…Is that even possible? And you want me to believe that right now?”
“Believe it. I’ve had to live without trusting people, but I don’t betray anyone. Haven’t you seen that I’ve already turned my back on the Association for you?”
To be honest, it seemed he held a separate grudge against the Association rather than doing it purely for Su-jin’s sake, but his words weren’t wrong.
“That alone isn’t enough…”
“Don’t worry. A contract executed in the Tower cannot be arbitrarily broken.”
“What are the contract terms…?”
“My highest priority is guaranteeing your safety and your brother’s, and I want to invest in whatever business venture you’ll establish based on your future research achievements. As for equity and management rights—I’ll leave those entirely to you.”
Jeong Su-jin’s expression wavered.
“What could you possibly know about me to offer terms like that?”
It was, frankly, an extraordinary condition.
Jeong Hyun-soo bore all the obligations while Jeong Su-jin seemed to reap all the benefits.
“You’re worth it.”
“How can you be sure what I’ll create?”
“Anything.”
Jeong Su-jin fell silent for a moment, thinking.
“Here—a formal contract, already written out.”
It covered her safety, ownership of her research achievements, and the launching of a business based on them.
There wasn’t a single poisonous clause.
“All right. If it’s formalized through an oath, I’ll agree to it.”
The contract even included the condition that she wouldn’t be forced to obey commands—that she was merely a Summoned Being in name only.
There was no reason to refuse.
‘If we end up living in another dimension, the Association will never find us….’
[The Tower’s Oath is commencing.]
[The contract requires a price.]
“I offer the Fragment of Constellation and the Twilight Carapace.”
[Calculating causality.]
[The value of the price aligns precisely.]
[The contract is binding.]
[Jeong Su-jin and Jeong Un-chan are granted new names by Jeong Hyun-soo.]
“Would you like to change your names?”
“I don’t really have any attachment to my name. What about you, Un-chan?”
“Neither do I….”
Both of them had been orphans to begin with. These weren’t names their parents had given them, but ones they’d received at the orphanage—so there was nothing holding them to these names.
“Then how about In-il and In-i?”
“I’m sorry—what?”
“Human Number One, Human Number Two.”
Jeong Su-jin felt a jolt of shock.
“What…did you just say?”
Her skin crawled.
What was this human’s naming sense even doing?
“I really hate that. I’ll stick with the names I have.”
“You’re being stubborn about this.”
“Stubborn? Who names someone Human Number One and Human Number Two?”
“Then that settles it. Stop yelling—you’ll strain your throat.”
Jeong Su-jin was dumbfounded. Jeong Un-chan, standing beside her, took her hand.
He shook his head.
Her younger brother—the one said to have the talent to awaken as a Prophet. Maybe he’d seen something in the future, felt something.
“Conversation works when both sides are listening.”
“Yeah… you’re right about that.”
Jeong Su-jin opened her mouth.
“Let’s keep the names—Jeong Su-jin and Jeong Un-chan. Unless having the same family name bothers you….”
“We’re family anyway. It doesn’t matter.”
“Family? What are you—”
Even as she spoke, Jeong Su-jin’s throat suddenly felt dry.
“Well then, I look forward to working with you, Summoner.”
“And I with you, vanguard of revolution.”
“Are you planning to overthrow the government or something?”
“Higher than that.”
At the mention of the Association, Jeong Su-jin’s expression hardened with resolve as well.
“I don’t know what you’ve seen in me, but I’ll give it my all.”
“Good. Then I’m sending you and Jeong Un-chan to the Seongso. Do you agree?”
Jeong Su-jin hesitated slightly.
The contract itself posed no problems, but another dimension—stepping into the world of a Summoned Being that Jeong Hyun-soo had created—was still not an easy thing to accept.
Yet there was no other choice.
“There are shower facilities, right?”
“You’ll see for yourself and decide.”
“Do you want to go, Un-chan?”
“Yes.”
Jeong Su-jin gripped her brother’s hand firmly, her expression set with resolve.
“I’m going.”
Pop!
Both figures vanished instantly before Jeong Hyun-soo’s eyes.
[Oil, who had been training his strength in the Seongso, startled violently at Jeong Su-jin’s arrival and nearly toppled over.]
[Oil asks whether this is new food.]
[Seuil rebukes Oil, saying surely he can see for himself.]
[Jeong Su-jin reveals that she and Jeong Un-chan are new members of the Seongso.]
[Seuil says he pays it little mind.]
[Oil grumbles that he needs orc subordinates, not weak humans.]
[Jeong Su-jin demonstrates her magic.]
[Oil applauds.]
[Jeong Su-jin inspects the Seongso’s facilities.]
[Jeong Su-jin demands various auxiliary facilities necessary for humans.]
[In total, one Champion Trophy is required.]
“Just make it through today.”
Jeong Hyun-soo decided he’d need to push to the twenty-first floor before starting to plan anything else.
After all, providing household provisions for a child and a woman hadn’t factored into his plans since the regression.
* * *
After clearing the twenty-first floor in unstoppable fashion, Jeong Hyun-soo received a call from Kim Chun-sik almost immediately.
“What’s going on?”
Jeong Hyun-soo’s question meant more than simply why he’d been sought out.
Kim Chun-sik’s face bore dark bruises and scratch marks beneath his eyes.
“That… I’m sorry to ask, but would you go somewhere with me?”
“The Blood Alliance?”
At Jeong Hyun-soo’s words, Kim Chun-sik’s eyes went wide.
“How… how did you…?”
“How many people in the Blood Alliance could reduce the Korean branch director’s face to such a mess?”
“…….”
“Lead the way. Even from the Blood Alliance’s perspective, they’d need to see whoever caused this incident.”
Jeong Hyun-soo set out immediately with Kim Chun-sik.
“Because of the Kang Hyun-woo incident, there are a lot of Association agents lurking around the area.”
“We’ll need to find out first whether he’s disappeared or been buried somewhere.”
Seeing them nosing around here suggested that Hanwool had certainly scrambled any traces of the battle that occurred at the time.
“Since the fighting happened at a safe house, the Association came with a warrant, they say?”
“And I’m sure they filed a damage claim quite effectively?”
During their escape, the siblings Jeong Su-jin and Jeong Un-chan had hidden in a safe house belonging to the Blood Alliance.
They were currently maneuvering things so that the clash with the opposing force would appear as losses suffered by the Purge Squad.
“If those two people actually get caught, it’s finished. You know? The Association has Mental Magic — there’s no way to endure it without confessing.”
“Which is why they need to disappear. Isn’t that so?”
“Don’t say something so drastic…!”
Kim Chun-sik spoke hurriedly, glancing around.
“It’s here.”
The place Kim Chun-sik led him to was the space between buildings near the Subway Station Platform. A place with no door whatsoever.
But it wasn’t difficult to imagine that a specialized Magical Transmission Gate would be present.
[Jeong Su-jin remarks that it’s quite a high-level Illusion Barrier.]
As Jeong Hyun-soo stepped inside, a quiet, serene Tea House suddenly revealed itself.
There were no customers.
Instead, a beautiful woman in a seductive one-piece dress was smiling at him with a knowing grin.
“Welcome.”
“I apologize for the delayed visit after causing such trouble. I’m Jeong Hyun-soo of Garam.”
“I’ve heard you’re quite busy with construction work?”
Had he fled, she would never have let him off.
But knowing he didn’t engage in foolish acts while climbing the Tower, she had allowed it—a loaded remark Jeong Hyun-soo could not possibly miss.
“I’m the master of the Blood Alliance. And…”
Her eyes turned toward Kim Chun-sik.
“I’m his older sister. My name is Kim Ha-eun.”
Kim Ha-eun crossed her legs.
Her pale, porcelain-smooth skin made the graceful lines of her legs all the more striking, yet Jeong Hyun-soo found his gaze fixed only on her eyes.
“Let me hear what’s on your mind.”
At Kim Ha-eun’s words, Jeong Hyun-soo opened his mouth.
“I’ve come to offer you a chance to acquire future blue-chip stocks.”
