Episode 180

The previous event has started.

Around the time Baek Sa-jun obtained the , a message was sent to some people.

– In a certain location in Korea, a renowned necromancer has started a career change event.

– Seize the opportunity. If you do, you will also have the opportunity to change your career… … .

– Once per period of time, you can track the location of the target. Take advantage of this opportunity.

It was a message recommending that you sabotage your career.

Those who received it were necromancers. In terms of level alone, they were comparable to Baek Sa-jun, or even higher.

“Huh, anyone can see that this is Baek Sa-jun?”

“You’re giving a chance to advance to a necromancer who hasn’t been a necromancer for very long… … .”

“It’s so frustrating, really.”

The necromancers expressed their discontent.

Of course, not everyone was like that. However, quite a few people were offended by Baek Sa-jun’s former job. It was natural considering his past actions, but reason and emotion are separate.

I couldn’t accept it emotionally.

“Where is it located?”

“Korea. Korea, you know… … .”

“I’ll give you as much money as you want, and you just have to find out where he’s going! Isn’t that the job of a broker?”

The necromancers, dissatisfied and jealous of the fact that Baek Sa-jun was changing jobs, began to take action.

If you can steal the opportunity, you can gain incredible strength by changing jobs in your place.

There was no reason not to go.

“Hehehe… … .”

And it wasn’t just Korean necromancers who thought that way. It was the same overseas.

Hangzhou, China. A place that has suffered through several apocalypses and has become an uninhabitable land due to all sorts of pollutants.

There was a necromancer there.

“This is another interesting piece of news.”

A city strewn with rotten corpses.

A gaunt old man stood there. He was so skinny that he could hardly be distinguished from a skeleton.

“No matter how much I have lived in seclusion, you are giving a chance to change jobs to someone you have never even heard of… … .”

In China, there are things called the ‘Three Evils’. Three great evil men. These were hunters who had great power and used that power to commit all sorts of evils.

Those who destroy cities for their own achievements or commit evil deeds that hinder the overcoming of the apocalypse.

Those were the three evils.

“It’s finally time to go out into the world.”

The old man’s name is .

A Chinese necromancer and member of the Three Evils. He walked forward, spreading a thick aura.

His new form disappeared like fog.

***

That evening, Baek Sa-jun left Daejeon.

I decided to leave without telling the people of Daejeon. They were already busy with the reconstruction work, and I didn’t want to have a loud party or anything.

I didn’t have the luxury of that.

“Are you going?”

“Oh. Well, it’s not like we’re going to be separated forever. We’ll meet again when we get the chance.”

“I will not forget this favor.”

“Yeah, I shouldn’t forget.”

Baek Sa-jun smiled while looking at Han Seo-kyung.

Daejeon will be rebuilt with Yoon Seung-woo and Han Seo-kyung at the center. These two will gain a lot of power as they lead the reconstruction work.

That will help later.

‘Because this is still a world where connections are important.’

Even though the world is half-destroyed, it is like this.

Didn’t Baek Sa-jun also benefit greatly from the connections he built with Geom Hwang and Dae Jeong Ryung Sa?

The connections you build in Daejeon will be like that too.

“See you again.”

“Goodbye, Baek Sa-jun.”

“Don’t get hurt!”

Baek Sa-jun left Daejeon.

It was deep night. Darkness had descended on all sides, making it difficult to see even an inch ahead. However, this darkness was not a big problem for him.

– Saaaaa… … .

– Ss …

It was because of the that I was holding in my hand.

An ominous sound was heard from the dead man’s back.

It was the cry of the soul. In addition, the green light flowing out was a great visual effect.

It’s enough to attract people’s attention.

“What’s the difference between this and advertising to people to look at me?”

– Huh?

Baek Sa-jun sighed deeply.

The skeleton beside him tilted its head. With the penalty for summoning the servants removed, it was possible to summon them. As always, the rustling sound was reassuring.

– Saaaaaaaaaaaa… … .

“Yeah, yeah. Over there?”

The back of the dead guided the way.

Baek Sa-jun rode on the skeleton horse summoned by the skeleton and ran along the path guided by its back.

This time I decided not to take an armed taxi.

‘Armed taxis are convenient, though.’

This time, there are risks involved in many ways.

A skeleton horse that can run without getting tired would be more stealthy than an armed taxi.

Baek Sa-jun rode his horse and moved without stopping.

‘It’s an annoying event in many ways…’

You need to find a place where a previous event is taking place and be wary of enemies trying to steal your opportunity.

Until you clear the event there.

There are too many things to do.

“Iria, go to the sky. Keep your fog on so you can’t be seen, and be on the lookout for enemies.”

– Woof woof… … .

The necromancers will definitely come.

Those who have the skills to be greedy for the previous event like Baek Sa-jun. And maybe, among them, there could be a necromancer with strong power.

We need to figure out their movements.

‘There’s so much to worry about.’

For two days after that, Baek Sa-jun went to the place that Deung had guided him to without sleeping.

The place we arrived at that way was Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do.

“Is this it?”

– Shut up, shut up.

Baek Sa-jun looked at the mountains spread out before his eyes.

This is a mountain where monsters roam as it becomes a field. There is a separate guild that rules over it.

On the surface, there’s nothing particularly strange about it.

“It’s somewhere on this mountain.”

The dead man’s back was pointing towards the mountain.

There’s a high probability that there’s a portal somewhere over there that will allow you to enter the job change event. The problem is that you have to wander around the mountains to find it.

And there’s one more problem.

– Ooh, oh. Enemy… … .

“… … .”

The enemies were on their heels.

Baek Sa-jun turned his head. In the darkened sky, he saw something that looked like evil spirits.

This is the that the necromancer serves.

“These kids, they’re following me so blatantly?”

Baek Sa-jun burst into laughter.

I already knew that you were following me. Iria sensed you since yesterday and told me.

Until then, he had tried to hide his presence, but now he is showing it openly.

It seems that he is confident that he has reached his destination.

“How many enemies do you think there are?”

– Ooh, oh… eight, nine… … .

“It will probably grow more from there, right?”

Iria nodded instead of answering.

There are nine now, but if you consider the ones who started late, the number will increase from here.

Baek Sa-jun let out a deep sigh.

‘There are too many flies.’

I don’t even know what the previous event was.

There may be special gimmicks, or there may be powerful enemies. You have to fight those guys, but you also have to be wary of the necromancers that will follow you?

Things are getting too tricky.

‘Necromancers must be dealt with.’

Should I step forward and handle it myself?

You’ll have to fight nine skilled necromancers, as well as those who arrive late.

The damage was too great. If possible, I didn’t want to deal with the necromancers directly.

‘If that’s the case, what method would there be…?’

Baek Sa-jun raised his head.

I was trying to organize my thoughts by looking at the sky. Then, out of the blue, I saw something.

A sign hanging from a fallen telephone pole.

[Those who despair in the world, come here.]

[Our church accepts everyone.]

It was a banner put up by a pseudo-religious group.

Baek Sa-jun stared at the skeleton for a long time, until the skeleton next to him stabbed him in the side.

“Savior Church.”

– Right?

Those who are filled with hatred towards the undead.

Needless to say, the necromancers are fanatics who even target Beatrice, one of the Ten Heroes, and they are also powerful.

This is Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do.

‘It’s no different from being in their sphere of influence.’

What if we leverage this?

If you leak information to the Savior Church that Baek Sa-jun is here, they will definitely come here and try to stop Baek Sa-jun’s previous event.

Necromancers, and even the Church of Salvation.

‘There is a high possibility that things will get complicated.’

but.

‘You can also aim for Lee Jae-yong… … .’

Baek Sa-jun closed his eyes.

The risk is high, but the reward is also high. If done well, you can have the two forces clash against each other and break the previous event.

He thought about it and then picked up his phone.

Because I had come to a conclusion.

– I didn’t think you’d call me.

A woman’s voice was heard on the cell phone.

An unregistered number was floating on the screen. It was the person who had delivered Lee Hyuk-woon’s warning to Baek Sa-jun yesterday, telling him to be careful of the Guse Shin Church.

It was the broker’s number.

“You sent a text message to my phone number. Weren’t you waiting for me to contact you in the first place?”

– Well, you are a very self-conscious person.

“Enough with the trivial talk, Hong Joo-yeon.”

– Do you know my name?

Hong Joo-yeon.

The original named broker. He is both skilled and has a wide network of connections. In the original, he was Lee Hyuk-woon’s strong ally and helped him with many things.

It was like that until Lee Hyuk-woon became corrupt.

“If you know Lee Hyuk-woon, then there’s no way you wouldn’t know Hong Ju-yeon. She’s very famous among the brokers these days.”

– hmm…….

His reputation and position grew even more after he became linked with the already excellent broker Lee Hyuk-woon.

If you’re interested, you can’t not know.

Hong Joo-yeon’s words were vague.

– Okay, okay. Let’s move on from that. Why did you contact me? Because you wanted some work?

“No way. If that’s the case, get it from my broker.”

– Oh, that bald guy. He’s famous.

“Are you famous for being bald?”

No answer came back.

I thought it was ignored because it was nonsense.

– I guess it’s something that only I can do.

“Yes. Give me plenty of money. I have more than enough.”

– That’s nice to hear. But I don’t accept just any money for any job.

For a broker like Hong Joo-yeon, reputation is everything. Even if you pay a lot of money, it is meaningless if your reputation is damaged because of that work.

Han Sang-gyu is not much different.

– What do you want me to do for you?

“I wish you would spread some rumors.”

– Rumor?

Hong Joo-yeon looked puzzled.

What kind of rumors should I spread? Fortunately, that question was soon resolved.

In a very unexpected way.

“Baek Sa-jun is here, in Yangpyeong-gun, Gyeonggi-do. I plan to hold a job change event here.”

– Are you out of your mind?

“How many people in this world are sane? Of course they aren’t.”

Baek Sa-jun snickered.

From the moment I was possessed by this world and confined to this body to do hard labor, I lost my mind halfway.

Hong Joo-yeon let out a sigh.

– You’re a necromancer, aren’t you? Didn’t you see that damn Beatrice being chased? The Salvation Church… … .

“Yes, the Salvation Church. Those guys. I want you to spread the rumor so that it reaches their ears.”

– No way, you… … .

It was only then that Hong Joo-yeon realized.

What is Baek Sa-jun aiming at?

– You’re going to use the Salvation Church to deal with the necromancers targeting you? Seriously?

“Cracking things up is my specialty.”

There is no reason not to do it.

You’re chasing me like a hyena, trying to steal away the career opportunity I earned through my own efforts? I can’t forgive you.

– What kind of crazy guy is this… … .

Hong Joo-yeon is shocked.

Hearing her voice, Baek Sa-jun smiled.

‘You guys, try being X too.’

An ominous and evil laugh.
