Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 110:
Chapter 110 - Second Alandal
Woojin ordered Minchan to finalize the negotiation for the real estate near the Seoul Station, and he ordered a move to that location . Then he immediately tried to head towards his Dimensional Domain .
<The Return Portal's recharge isn't complete . Would you like to recharge it using Energy?>
“What the heck . ”
Woojin had no choice, but to hitch a ride to the Seoul Station . It wasn't far away, so he didn't feel the need to waste his Energy .
"You are here, president?”
The Alandal’s Guild employees had already been dispatched to the 1st Exit, and they were guarding the entrance . They had followed Woojin's instruction . They hadn't taken any appointments, and they had sealed up the exit . There was only a single door where only Woojin could go in and out .
“Work hard . ”
“Yes, president . ”
The founding member of Alandal knew Woojin from before, but the new employees only knew him as the world famous Kahng-woojin . The president was a high rank Roused, who was up on the high perch above them .
<You've entered the Seoul Station's 1st Exit . >
<This is the Dimensional Domain's Restored Dungeon . >
<You can either choose Hunting or Domain Return . >
“What? I can hunt in my own Dungeon?”
Woojin laughed at this nonsensical situation . If he was short on level, he could hunt down the monsters respawned through his Domain's Energy . However, it was wasteful, so he didn't particularly feel like doing that .
When he picked Domain Return, a red portal formed in front of his eyes .
Zeeeeng .
When Woojin passed through the portal, he was in front of the lord's castle .
“Master!”
“Anything unusual?”
As soon as Woojin appeared, she hugged him . Woojin stroked Bibi's head .
“Heh heh . There were some drifters, but the Wyverns hunted them down . The Wyverns ate them, so I just let it be . ”
“Huh?”
Woojin sat on his throne to answer his own question . At a glance, the status of his land came into view . Creatures that looked like wild buffaloes were roaming around various locations inside the Domain . There weren't a lot of them . There were only 20 of them .
“Does this happen often?”
“Yes . Ten of them showed up one time . There are times when two or three of them show up . ”
“Hmmm . Is that so? Where's Jaemin?”
“Ah, the noob vampire?”
“Yes . ”
“It seemed he was a bit afraid, so I gifted him a house . ”
“You did well . ”
“Heh heh . ”
When Woojin stroked Bibi's head, Bibi smiled with a proud expression on her face .
When he exited the hall with the Throne, a well maintained garden appeared .
“Huh?”
When he had left, this place had been an open lot . Now there were several landscaping trees, and colorful flowers filled most of the space . Woojin was startled .
“Heh heh . It's pretty . ”
“…… . ”
He had left her in charge of the castle maintenance, and she had changed the garden into a flower field .
“You don't like it? Should I change it?”
“No . It's not too bad . Where's the house you gave to Jaemin?”
“Heh heh . Follow me this way . ”
Bibi started running with her short stride . Woojin slowly followed after her, and he looked around to see the lord's castle, which had changed a lot .
The building where the throne and hall was had high walls around it now . Moreover, there were 3 towers added there . The inner structure was still the same, but it was decorated to Bibi's taste . It was very colorful .
“Hmmm . ”
There were several new buildings inside the castle's vacant lot . Smoke was coming out from a house with a chimney . Bibi spoke proudly .
“It's a bakery . I'm practicing right now, but I'll be able to make you delicious breads soon”
“…… . ”
Was it ok to waste Energy on such things?
Woojin looked at the building next to the bakery .
Ggahng, ggahng, gghang!
At a glance, it looked like a smithy, and Ramson was occupying that place .
“Eh-hyoh . Mr . Ramson asked for it, so I built him one . ”
As if Bibi didn't like the loud sound of the hammer strikes, she shook her head from side to side . There were several more buildings, and he could see numerous Death Knights in them .
Like Ramson, some Death Knights had unique occupations before they were reborn . The large Dimensional Domain was less restrictive than the Summon Room . The possibility of what the Death Knights could do was numerous .
There were some knights in the smithy like Ramson, but most of them were gathered in a fairly large building .
“What's that over there?”
“It's a pub . ”
“They are able to drink alcohol?”
“The alcohol is made from magic . However, we used up all the Energy, so we couldn't buy any . ”
“…so what are they all doing over there?”
“They are playing cards . It's very boring . ”
“Hmmm . ”
Woojin realized his Familiars normally lived with each other in the Summon Room, while maintaining a semblance of society . The fact that they had lived like that was quite interesting to Woojin . No, his Familiars had practically lived in their summoned state on Alphen . Summoned Room was a place where they waited as they recovered from their destruction .
“That's the vampire's house . ”
“All right . You can return now . ”
“Heh heh . All right . Please recharge the Energy I can use, Master . ”
“…I'll do it later . ”
Bibi had already used up the 10,000 Energy he had assigned to her authority as the Butler . She had used it all in a span of a day . If he gave her any more, she would use all the Dimensional Domain's Energy .
“Heh heh . I'll buy that one and this one . . . ”
Bibi was moving further away as she mumbled to herself . She opened the door to a simple two story hut .
Ggeeeeek .
It seemed the door needed some more oil . The loud squeal rang out instead of a doorbell, and Woojin could see the interior of the house . The large house had a kitchen, and there was only a single dining table and a stool inside .
Jaemin was nowhere to be seen, so Woojin ascended the stairway .
The second floor had a small bed, and an end table . Jaemin was curled up on top of the bed .
“Jaemin?”
“…Hyuuuhng . ”
Jaemin raised his head at Woojin's call . Jaemin's face was pale as it could be .
“Hoo-oohk . Hook . ”
“What . . . what's wrong?”
“Blood… I want to drink blood . ”
When Jaemin saw Woojin, his instinctual craving grew . Woojiin's tanned skin and his muscular neckline looked very tasty . His canines had grown sharp, and it felt as if he could bite through anything .
“Hah-ahk, hahk . ”
“You can't hold it back?”
“This place… . ”
Even Woojin had never been a vampire . He couldn't 100% understand what Jaemin was going through, but Woojin could tell Jaemin was in pain by his face .
“…it's all bones here . They are all skeletons… . ”
“This is quite serious . ”
He was half out of his mind as he mumbled . Jaemin's gaze fixed onto Woojin's neck . His eyes had already turned to red, and he didn't look like a human .
“Eh-whew . ”
Woojin took out a short sword, and he approached Jaemin .
When he saw the sharp sword, Jaemin's will to live overpowered his craving for blood . His eyes was shaking with fear . He started to back away when he pitifully called out towards Woojin .
“Hy . . . hyung?”
“Open your mouth . ”
“What?”
Chwahhk .
Woojin slashed across his palm . He pulled back Jaemin's hair, and he wetted the back of Jaemin's throat .
“Ah, ah, ah!”
Jaemin let out a sluggish sigh, and he desperately drank Woojin's blood, which was dripping down . He looked like a man, who had suddenly found water, after wandering the desert for a week .
Jaemin's tongue moved busily, and he drank the falling blood . The red light slowly seeped away from his pupils, and it turned back to black . Jaemin's eyes misted up, and tears started to fall down .
“Hoo-oohk, hook… . ”
“…… . ”
Woojin healed the wound on his hand as he looked at Jaemin, who cried with his head buried inside his blanket . Woojin quickly recovered after he used a soul .
Jaemin sobbed . There was a smudge of blood around his lips, and he cried piteously . Woojin just silently looked down at Jaemin .
“Hyung . A . . . am I a monster now?”
Jaemin wanted to die . No, he wanted to live .
His fickle heart kept changing back and forth dozens of time each moment .
Even he was disgusted by his own reflection .
Woojin felt sorry for Jaemin, who was crying out .
It really felt like he was seeing his old self . He had fallen into despair like this after killing for the first time .
“Hoo-oohk . Hoo-uhng . . ”
Tears and snot had all poured out . When Jaemin calmed down a little bit, Woojin asked a question .
“Your sister is worried about you… . When do you want to go home?”
“…may I stay here for a while?”
He didn't have any confidence .
He didn't have the confidence to see his sister . He didn't have the courage to return home, since he had become a monster .
“You do as you like . I'll speak to your sister . ”
“…thank you, hyung . ”
“All right . You should rest . If you need anything, contact me through Bibi . ”
After tabbing Bibi as the Butler, Woojin could speak with her on any given moment .
“Then you should rest a little bit . ”
“Yes, hyung . ”
Jaemin looked like he needed some more time . Woojin left Jaemin, and he exited the house .
“Hoo-ooh . ”
He somehow felt a little bit depressed, but that feeling didn't last long .
Woojin tried to gather information about his Domain, so he brought up the Domain Window . It was similar to his Stat Window . The mini-map of the Domain had the locations marked where the Domain's forces, and residents were located at .
The Wyvern's nest was located on top of the pointy mountain, and at a location far from the lord's castle, he saw Kiba all by himself .
“What is he doing there by himself?”
Woojin let his will flow out, and he called for a Wyvern .
Kyahhhhhk!
After a brief moment, the large Wyvern appeared accompanying a loud screech .
Hooohng, hoooohng .
Its fierce wing beats caused a dust storm as it landed .
It looked quite small compared to Yong Yong, but Yong Young was abnormally large . The Wyvern's body was as large as a fighter jet .
“Let's see . ”
Woojin opened the Dimensional Store, and he bought a saddle used by the Wyvern Riders . After attaching it to the Wyvern's back, Woojin got on .
“Let's look around the Domain once . ”
He could see the mini-map through the Status Window, and he could view each corner of his Domain when he was on his Throne . However, it felt different seeing it for himself .
Hooooooohng, hoohng .
After several beats of the wing, they were already in the air . The Wyvern climbed the sky, and it flew towards Kiba .
Shwahhhhh .
The Wyvern sliced through the sky in a much more stable and safe manner compared to Yong Yong . The Wyvern quickly passed by the dry plains . Occasionally, there were thin and twisted trees . He also saw patches of green grass growing from time to time .
Then he saw the large Death Knight Kiba detachedly standing there in the wasteland .
When Woojin landed and walked next to him, Kiba got on one knee towards Woojin .
[My king . ]
“What are you doing here by yourself?”
[…… . ]
Kiba wordlessly stood up, and he went back to standing like before . Woojin stood side-by-side with Kiba .
[What exists across there?]
“Hmmm . I have no idea . . ”
Woojin tilted his head in confusion as he looked at his borders . There were some fog stretched out, but he couldn't tell what was across there . The mini-map indicated this was the end of this place .
[I'm curious about it . ]
“Was this why you were here? Did you find something out?”
[The wild buffaloes wandered in from across there, and they invaded the Domain . ]
Kiba immediately killed the buffaloes that had come out of the fog . As the Domain's Defense Commander, he considered them to be invaders .
Afterwards, he had killed 8 more buffaloes that had shown up . However, when the Wyverns started eating the buffaloes that appeared, Kiba left them alone .
The buffaloes that had wandered into this land was the ones currently wandering around the Domain .
“I'm surprised . You overlooked those mere cows . ”
Kiba had been the great king of the Orcs . He had spent his whole life pillaging, and going to war . He had also devoted his life to protecting his tribes, so he was more attached to protecting one’s territory .
[This place is your majesty's 2nd Alandal . ]
“…… . ”
[It isn't your majesty's fault . ]
Woojin became silent at Kiba's words . A bitter laugh passed by his face . Woojin recalled his past .
The land of the dead, Alandal .
He was the ruler of that place . He was Alandal's monarch .
[I serve you in my death, but now your majesty looks over those, who are still alive . ]
Kiba respectfully got on his knees .
“…can I really do it?”
He had already tasted defeat once .
The king had been the only one alive in Alandal . It had turned into the land of the dead .
The people filled with pain… He could still recall the eyes that looked at him with resentment . The souls that had turned into evil spirits also . . .
[…… . ]
Kiba didn't have an answer .
He would follow Woojin no matter, which road he took . He wanted to walk towards a direction his master's desired .
“Hoo-ooh . ”
Woojin let go of his frustrated feelings . He let out large breath, and he heard the sound of an alarm .
<Beings, who were wandering the Dimensions, has stepped onto your Dimensional Domain . >
<You can use your force to drive them out, or you can coax them into being Immigrants . >
“Let's go check it out . ”
Woojin silently crouched on top of the Wyvern's back . Kiba summoned his own Phantom Wolf .
