Money-grubbing Necromancer (237)
Death Cult

“But you’ve become really famous? You even have a fan club.”

On the way back home.

Lee Seo-yoon, who was on the plane, spoke in passing.

“Fan club?”

“Oh. You don’t know?”

“I don’t know? Are there a lot of numbers?”

“Isn’t 13 million a lot in Korea?”

“… …There’s a cafe like that?”

“Oh, here.”

After unlocking the fingerprint recognition, she handed me the phone.

[Welcome to the fan cafe, the Death Cult. Necromancer aspirants, civilians, and general awakened people are all welcome. Let’s all share information~]

I saw the cafe’s sign.

[Kim Men. I’ll check your attendance today too.]

-1 second ago.

[Kim Men. Attendance check day 12… … .]

-1 second ago.

[I’m a beginner necromancer. Can someone help me with my build?]

-1 second ago.

.

.

I could see dozens of posts being uploaded every second.

“Why is this place so popular?”

“I’m going to throw away the items.”

“huh?”

“The cafe owner is throwing out items. He did the same thing after we defeated the Japanese Spirit King last time. At that time, he was throwing out S-rank skill books and all sorts of equipment. Look. Here, knight.”

“… … Really? Are you rich like me? Spread them all out.”

“What, you really didn’t know? Rumor has it that you were the one sponsoring this place.”

“No, what the hell are you talking about?”

I felt aggrieved inside.

Isn’t this the first time I’ve heard of a cafe like this?

There… … .

‘The Cult of Death. Come to think of it, that’s a very familiar name.’

Isn’t this the name of the sect that served Death Lord?

In fact, there is no need to talk about other people’s business. The group that was created by those who gathered at the necromancer conference was the Death Cult.

Kim Min-woo was the group leader, and the 12 necromancers who gathered at that time served as members.

‘After that… I think I was half-abandoned?’

The reason was that I was too busy.

The necromancers had decided to discipline themselves later when they had time, so they were putting it off for now.

however…….

‘Why does it smell like that group here?’

Even if you just look at the hierarchy of the cafes, it was like that.

[Cafe Class]

[Legion Commander – 4 people including the greatest and most beautiful ‘Merhen’.]

[Parish Priest – The one who serves ‘Him’ most closely.]

[The 11 Apostles – His bodyguard.]

[Top-tier believer – A cafe member who has faithfully proven his ‘loyalty’.]

[High-level believer – Proving his own ‘loyalty’… ]

[Intermediate Believer – … … .]

.

.

From the commander of the legion, to the parish priest and the 11 apostles, and from the highest-ranking believers to the lowest-ranking believers who have just joined and must overcome the wall of attendance checks.

There were various classes distributed.

‘The parish priest is a position I saw in my previous life.’

The 11 apostles… … .

‘Isn’t this it?’

The 12 SS-rank necromancers who gathered last time. Did they happen to eat together?

That being said,

Why 11 apostles and not 12?

I looked at Lee Seo-yoon.

“This cafe. Do people just gather there by simply throwing out items?”

“No, if that were all, this number wouldn’t have gathered. Look here. There’s information sharing, right?”

“Oh. There it is.”

“I’m a low-level believer now, but the information I’m sharing is pretty useful, right?”

“So, it’s some kind of information sharing organization?”

“It looks similar. If you share good information, you’ll be promoted quickly. In fact, they say that they’re very satisfied when they reach the level of a high-level believer. I heard… … that you can see photos of Märchen’s daily life?”

“……what?”

Why is Merchen coming out again out of nowhere?

“Anyway, in addition to that, they say there is a lot of information being spread abroad.”

“… … But, why did you join here? You said you hated me.”

“If you want to catch the enemy leader, aim for the horse first. Don’t you know that saying? Since you seemed to be behind me, I wanted to check it out. But I didn’t know that you wouldn’t know anything like this. Is it because it hasn’t been that long since the opening ceremony?”

That’s actually the case.

The cafe opened on June 12th.

He was literally like a newborn baby, only about 1.5 months old.

… … But how did you gather so many members?

I took out my cell phone.

‘Liang Xiaojun’s number is… … .’

I looked through the directory and found the guy’s number.

I called right away.

The call was connected immediately, before it even rang three times.

“Liang Xiaojun?”

-Yes, I will! Mr. Kim Min-woo!

“By any chance, you. Have you made a cafe or something?”

-Oh, did you see it too, Kim Min-woo?

“Oh, I see. Just now. Why did you make this?”

―Hehehe… … Excuse me, are you busy?

“No. I have some time, so why.”

– Then I will go there myself, so can I tell you then?

“Fly here quickly.”

When I see that voice that has become very cunning, I feel like there is something going on.

I thought I should take a listen while I’m at it.

* * *

After the call.

Less than three hours later, Liang Xiaojun set foot on Korean soil.

“I’m here! Mr. Kim Min-woo!”

“Sit here.”

“yes!”

He sat in the chair across from me and bowed his head politely.

“How have you been?”

“Why have people become so skinny?”

Was the character originally like this?

It was as if he was looking at a eunuch from history. The emperor’s daughter. In that moment, Liang Xiaojun’s face became extremely serious.

“… … Originally, my lifeline was tied to Kim Min-woo. It was a lifeline that I couldn’t refuse no matter what order he gave me.”

“That’s right.”

Was it when Chinese children came to be educated?

That’s when I realized that he was a follower of Death Lord and that I could never refuse an order like Lee Seo-yoon, so I held onto his lifeline as he said.

Because there was no reason not to catch it.

“At first, I was upset. Every time a loyalty I didn’t know about suddenly popped up, as if brainwashing my mind, I was filled with hatred.”

“however?”

“I have received it generously. Information and materials. Thanks to this, I have been able to keep a close eye on the Chinese factions and am rising the fastest among the younger generation. The position of Chairman may no longer be a dream. So this is my reward.”

“pay?”

“Mr. Kim Min-woo is popular. You can guess this just by looking at the number of subscribers on his YouTube channel. However, these are just shallow followers at best. No, you can’t really call them followers. You could say they’re just casual fans at best.”

Immediately afterwards, Liang Xiaojun took out a piece of paper and began to draw something.

The picture resembled an hourglass.

“This picture is the power map of Kim Min-woo that I see.”

“This hourglass?”

“Yes. Look. The hourglass is thick at the top and bottom. But the middle is infinitely thin. That’s the power of Kim Min-woo. He has close relationships with the higher-ups. He is also popular with the public. The top and bottom are thick, but what about this middle layer?”

“How do you define this middle class?”

“A die-hard fan of Kim Min-woo, or someone who is equally loyal to him. That’s how I would like to express it.”

“Hmm.”

It wasn’t an unreasonable statement.

Of course, it would be a bit ambiguous to say that Newtube subscribers are diehard fans. There must be more than a few people who subscribed to find light pleasure, like shorts.

No, actually, 90% of them are like that.

“The cafe you created is different, isn’t it?”

“Yes. Of course, right now, they are fundamentally not much different from Kim Min-woo’s Newtube subscribers. Most of them are attracted by wealth and information. However, these people have a huge advantage that subscribers don’t have: a sense of belonging.”

“A sense of belonging?”

“Yes. Religion is the same. There is no reason why gifts are given when proselytizing. First, you have to try what is called ‘picking and eating’ before you can decide whether to believe in the religion or not.”

“so?”

“Even if they were attracted by wealth and information, it is a fact that they joined the cafe for Kim Min-woo. In order to get promoted, they have to prove their ‘loyalty.’ At present, they are checking attendance, number of prayers, and contribution.”

“Will this help?”

“I think it will work. The number of people originally had tremendous power. It’s not for nothing that places like associations have such great power. Right now, it’s a Korean-only cafe, so it’s important in Korea… … but it’ll be different later.”

“Would you like to try making it into a religion?”

“What could be wrong? If it’s Kim Min-woo, he’s at least in a position to be called the ‘god’ of necromancers. We just want to establish ourselves as enthusiastic believers who help the god, even if it’s in a small way.”

As Liang Xiaojun spoke, his eyes were filled with blind loyalty.

“I’m talking about the 11 apostles.”

“yes.”

“Are these the necromancers I know?”

“That’s right. It’s made up of the twelve who gathered at the last meeting, or rather, the eleven who are missing one.”

“Who is the missing one?”

“It’s that guy, Mikhail.”

“Oh, that Russian necromancer?”

“Yes. That one. He was the most disloyal during the meeting. Even after recalling his memories as a follower… … His eyes were truly arrogant. That’s why all of us apostles agreed. We will give Mikhail a penalty.”

“What is that?”

“It’s simple. Mikhail will have to compete with the necromancers that will come later. Of course, I should have talked to Kim Min-woo first and gotten his permission first… … But since I know he’s very busy, I got permission from the chairman instead.”

“Wait a minute. Mr. Chairman? Are you talking about your father?”

“Yes. I’m talking about Chairman Kim.”

“When did your father find out?”

“Oh, I visited before the cafe was opened. It was shortly after Kim Min-woo entered the world rankings.”

It seemed like he was busy running around here and there without me even noticing.

“Wait a minute. So, did you receive any material support or information support from the group?”

“Yes. I’m sorry to say that. We were going to do it ourselves, but the chairman heard our story and said he wanted to help… … .”

Liang Xiaojun said, scratching his head.

“But in terms of information, the apostles worked very hard. As you know, they are promising prospects expected from each country, right? The apostles were in charge of all overseas information.”

Oh, so that’s it.

It seems that the skill books and equipment were distributed and domestic information was provided with the help of Ilseong, and overseas information was provided by the apostles using their respective positions.

If the cafe received not only domestic and international information but also support from Ilseong, it was no wonder that it grew so quickly in a short period of time.

Wasn’t the basic foundation laid from the beginning?

It may sound like self-praise, but in Korea, the name Kim Min-woo has long been considered sacred and inviolable.

Since they were running a business under that name, the speed at which members gathered must have been fast.

Isn’t that the only ‘official cafe’ there?

No, wait a minute.

“But why is this cafe the only official cafe? I’ve never given permission to any cafe in the first place.”

“Well, Märchen-sama kindly agreed to share the photo. Thanks to her, it helped us a lot in securing authenticity despite the numerous imitations.”

“……when?”

“It was just before the opening of the cafe. At that time, I got the number thanks to the chairman, and I asked him for his opinion.”

I called Merhen.

“Merchen.”

-Yeah, Minwoo.

“Hey, you know?”

-Yeah. I know. You’re a Minwoo follower.

“Have you ever chatted with him on KakaoTalk?”

-Yeah. Last time I made a cafe.

“Did you give permission to upload your picture back then?”

-Yeah. So you said it would help Minwoo? No? I see, the number of members is over 10 million.

“Oh, that must have helped.”

―Right? Actually, I thought so too! If you look at the pictures floating around on the internet, they are all paparazzi. On the other hand, all the pictures of me posted on cafes are taken at home.

“… … Are you preventing things like sharing well?”

At those words, Liang Xiaojun spoke resolutely.

“Merhen-nim’s daily photos are our cafe’s greatest asset, and they are all top secret. Only high-level believers who have proven their loyalty can see one. Also, anyone who shares them will be dealt a severe blow.”

“Sledgehammer? How?”

“It’s simple. I’ve applied special processing to the bottom of each photo. You can edit and upload them, but there will still be traces. After that, we investigate and catch the culprit, and permanently expel them. More than five high-level apostles have been expelled in this way.”

– Yeah, yeah! I saw it, and it was better than I thought. Ryang, you’re pretty capable.

“Haha. Thank you. Thanks to the strict punishment policy, there are no more ‘foolish’ believers who leak photos. By the way… … .”

Liang Xiaojun, who was looking at this carefully, said.

“By any chance, Mr. Balkan, could you share some photos…? He’s really handsome. It’ll be a huge help in catching female members in the future.”

-Oh, don’t worry about him. I already got permission.

“Really?!”

-Yeah. I hit him a few times so he’ll listen to me. Here’s a list too!

“Oh, ohhh!”

Liang Xiaojun’s eyes lit up after receiving the photo from Merhen. Recently, Balkan’s popularity increased significantly through a live broadcast. He gained immense popularity, rivaling that of former member and skeleton Cedric.

At least for women.

This was a devilish move to draw them in.

“Thank you! Thank you! Mr. Kim Min-woo, can I use this photo?”

“Yeah, whatever.”

It’s not like the Balkan photos will spread and wear out.

I looked at Liang Xiaojun.

“That cafe, you said it would help me, right?”

“Is there anything you would like to give me…?”

“Let me see some information. It’s not that hard. There’s something called a moderate restriction, you know. Can you dig into that?”

“Is this a medium-sized pharmaceutical company? Is it a Korean company?”

“uh.”

“Then it won’t be difficult. I will instruct the believers. Please wait a moment.”

Less than five minutes later, Liang Xiaojun said:

“I found it. Insiders there. I heard they’re doing it today or tomorrow.”

wait for a sec.

You figured it out this quickly?
