We felt youth and life’s breathlessness as we ran along the transparent and beautiful beach, the color of jade like an emerald.

“Huh, huh… ….”

Actually, only Shin Hye-young exhaled as if out of breath, and I didn’t mind, but we enjoyed our youth together.

Perhaps.

Around the time I threw the pebbles into the beach five or six times, Shin Hye-yeong, who was desperately breathing deeply with her back bent, suddenly raised her head and replied.

“No, why the hell did we run away!”

“Originally, you shouldn’t even exchange a word with a pseudonym. I am a mother of faith.”

“No, but did you really need to run?”

“For some reason, if you don’t leave quickly, it seems like everyone will come running towards you.”

The dungeon’s clearing condition is ‘survival for 15 days’. However, the place where we fell is inside the city, which looks safe no matter how you look at it.

In that case, disasters are coming to the city or monsters are attacking.

All the people in the city are our enemies, or there are dark forces who try to assassinate us day and night.

In either case, it was clear that sh*t was going to happen in the future.

I always had to keep in mind that my life could be blown away in an instant if I was fooling around saying I had artifacts all over my body.

“Because even if we aren’t monsters, people might come running to kill us.”

As I nodded and said that, Hyeyoung Shin stared at my face. What is it, did you put something on my face? She murmured in a subdued voice.

“You seem to be making surprisingly normal inferences.”

“… ….”

I feel a little worse.

“So what are you going to do? It is said that there are often cases where an intelligent body appears in black level dungeons, but it is definitely rare to fall into the city at all… , At least I’m hearing it for the first time.”

That’s why it’s such an abnormal situation. The witch straightened her disheveled cone hat and added. Then, with her hands behind her back, she waits for an answer.

I looked at the horizon where the sky meets the sea in the distance and the chirping seagulls, organizing my thoughts.

It is certain that there is some mystery in this dungeon.

A completely different way from what I imagined for 15 days of rough terrain survival.

Since we fell in the city, it would be better to use this place as a base to monitor the situation.

Are there any oddities…….

Somewhat unnatural…….

“f*ck, no matter how much I think about it, all I can think of is coins.”

A lady wearing her priestly clothes and asking “Do you believe in coins?” Could not be normal in any world.

Ah, then did it jump out for no reason?

I hit my forehead like an idiot, and Shin Hye-young shook her head as she saw me. Well, even belatedly, it would be beneficial to the mind and body to think about where the direction of the investigation was decided.

Anyway, our conclusion was this.

──Coin pseudo lady is suspicious…….

I moved from the port to the downtown area.

She decided that it would be a good way to see the atmosphere of the city.

It looks like we are being surrounded by people trying to make our way through the crowds on the street, but we don’t see any signs of attacking us.

On the contrary, it was quite lively to see them chattering among themselves, devouring snacks, and selling antiques in stalls with no interest in us.

It’s like we’re real people, not NPCs created by dungeons. It’s like a world that actually exists.

‘Still, seeing that no one carries a mobile phone, isn’t it a modern background? Medieval or even fantasy?’

With that thought in mind, I was walking out of the main street into a quiet market street when Shin Hye-young poked me in the back and whispered with her head close to her.

“Did you notice?”

“What? That modern times aren’t the setting?”

“No. Not that. That… , Look closely at people’s necks.”

I secretly glanced at the people around me at her rather serious voice.

And then, like an idiot, I realized that.

More than half of the passers-by on the street were wearing necklaces.

Made by weaving gold coins with strings…….

“No, why are you so anxious?”

It’s a port city, so commerce has developed, and it’s only natural that there is a custom of wearing coins or gold coins like necklaces…….

──Do you believe in coins?

The calm voice of the pseudo lady I heard just now resonates in my head.

“Hmm, for some reason, a scenario popped into my head that most of the people in the city would be obsessed with the pseudocoin school.”

“It’s a coincidence. I thought the same thing.”

“According to the report, the environment changes according to the knowledge and ideology of the personnel entering, but is this my fault?”

“One hundred percent.”

“Ummm… ….”

It seems that I have become a person who only has coins or stocks in my head. It’s very sad. After thinking for a while, I asked Shin Hye-young.

“Then choose between going straight or making a U-turn.”

“…… Suddenly?”

“Quickly, just one.”

“Umm, then I’ll go straight.”

“Well, I see.”

I shook her head at her answer, and Shin Hye-young stared blankly at my face, then suddenly frowned at her.

“…… No, what are you thinking?”

I didn’t answer him, just grinned. Shin Hye-young then frowned at her even more. She was very crumpled.

A flash—!

The old man who had been lying dead in her coffin kicked off the lid and rose from her seat.

And then, he shouted with a resounding voice to the kneeling priests around him.

“The oracle has descended——!!!”

“Ooooo!!!”

“Hello Oracle! Oracle yeee!!!!”

“Yeah! Then, what kind of oracle did this come down from?

The temple became noisy in an instant.

Mars Gar Kernica, the pope of the Infinite Coin Church, savoring the cheers of the priests, clenched his fists with a triumphant expression and shouted.

“In just 14 days, the god we longed for will descend———!!!”

“Ooooo!!! My Jesus!!”

“aaa!!!!”

From noble mtl dot com

“Coins! Is the time of glory when coins are copied!!!”

“And the gods have the honor to tell us one more thing———!!!”

Oh oh oh oh oh, endless cheers.

The pope smiled brightly and exclaimed!

“Our brother came down today———!!!!”

And that brother’s name is——

“───Jinwooaaa!!!!”

…… From that time, a proclamation to find the Pope’s brother was spread in the port city of Mozi. The bounty was 10,000 ‘Moji Coins’.
