Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 131:
Chapter 131 – Bloody Reunion
The Dimensional Domain of Alandal was developing quickly as each day passed .
When the territory taken from Liah was added, Alandal’s size had increased by 10% . Moreover, the Mercenary guild and the Goblin Research Facility was put in place .
When one exited Woojin’s castle on top of the mountain, one immediately entered the street for commerce .
There was quite a lot of variety of stores on the street . It wasn’t crowded, but the place was very lively .
The profit earned from the commerce buildings was slowly raising the Domain’s Dungeon Energy .
After exiting this street, the mountain road had houses of the Domain residents interspersed along the way . If one traveled down the road a little bit more, the military facilities were built next to each other . Then there were the additional land that had been added to the Domain, where the refugees were staying .
Woojin didn’t have to go to Jaemin’s house to meet him .
Woojin was about to walk past the cafe when he came to a stop .
“Uh? What are you doing here?”
Woojin tilted his head in confusion when he saw a teen sitting at the terrace of a cafe .
“You are back, hyung?”
Woojin sat in the seat opposite of Jaemin . He quickly surveyed the place . The place was way more modern compared to the pub where the Death Knights played their card games .
It seemed someone missed the modern sensibilities…
“Did you build this?”
“Yes . I helped Butler Bibi choose the design . It seems there are numerous planets that has similar tastes as earth . ”
There were several thousand variety of buildings one could buy in the Dimensional Store .
For some reason, there were numerous items from earth present in the Achievement Store, but there were none in the Dimensional Store . It only had Items that were similar to the ones found on earth .
‘Is it related to the fact that this place hasn’t synchronized fully with earth?’
There were still the four times the time difference between earth and the other dimensions .
Woojin only needed 30 days to link to Planet Jaku through Necia’s Pillar . However, if he wanted to purchase a Dungeon on earth, he would need 120 days to link to earth .
There was 0 time difference between his Dungeon and the Planet Jaku . Earth still had a time difference of four times with the Dungeon .
Woojin looked at the coffee Jaemin was drinking .
“Does it taste similar to the ones on earth? Over here . ”
Woojin raised his hand to call over the employee working within the cafe . The girl had cat ears, and she was of the anthropomorphic race . She approached Woojin, and when she saw his face, she lowered her head in surprise .
“I give my greetings to you, lord . ”
“Yes . Just give me one of that . ”
“Y…you want to drink that?”
“Huh? What is it?”
Woojin turned to look at Jaemin . Jaemin was laughing awkwardly .
“It’s blood . ”
“Blood?”
“Yes . I tried various blood, but the human blood is the tastiest . I don’t have the courage to personally harm others… They sell it for cheap here . ”
“…they really do sell all kinds of things here . May you bring me a cup of coffee?”
“Yes, lord . ”
The girl of the anthropomorphic race wore a pretty uniform with frills on it . She gave a bow, and she entered the cafe . There were tables clustered together on the terrace, and it was an ideal place to watch the people walking the streets .
“Isn’t it strange?”
Jaemin liked to sit in the cafe . It was party of his daily life to watch the streets, which had a peaceful and lazy atmosphere about it .
In the beginning, there weren’t a lot of people here, but there were over 400 beings here even if one excluded the military forces .
“What’s strange?”
“I just can’t believe such a world exists . ”
Woojin leaned back into his chair, and he looked out onto the street . At the very least, the anthropomorphic race resembled humans . He saw orcs, and occasionally, a large troll walked by . There were also the Naga race, whose lower body consisted of a tail of a large snake…
“It feels like I’m visiting a Halloween parade in the US . It sometimes feel like I’m visiting a movie set . ”
“Hmm . ”
Woojin sat still as he looked at Jaemin . Jaemin’s face was a bit paler than before, but the sickly air that had been around him was gone . The atmosphere around him had also brightened significantly .
“Do you feel like living now?”
“I guess I just got used to everything now . ”
Woojin smirked . Jaemin’s words were correct . In the end, everyone adapted to the situation .
“When are you going to go see your noonah?”
“I was going to ask you about it once hyung arrived . When are you returning to earth?”
“If you ask Bibi, she will open a portal to the Seoul Station’s 1st Exit for you . Just ask her whenever you want to return . ”
“Hoo . I guess I have to buy a pair of sunglasses . ”
Woojin couldn’t hold back his laughter .
Night and day didn’t matter in the Dimensional Domain . However, Jaemin wouldn’t be able to see the sun on earth . All of his skin would be burned to a crisp
“So what’s up with the Dimensional Battle? Did you play a little bit of Warcraft before?”
“A little bit . I wasn’t able to play it when I became a senior in highschool . ”
“If you are bored, do you want to try the Dimensional Battle?”
“Me?”
“Yes . ”
“Can’t you just use a pro-gamer?”
“I could, but why would I trust someone else?”
“What?”
Of course, there probably was a Roused pro-gamer, who could enter his Dungeon .
“You can lose . I don’t care about the wins and losses . ”
Woojin’s aim wasn’t to rise up in the Rankings .
“Hmm . Is that so? Well, that’ll be great for me . I heard from Butler Bibi that you give her points for winning? She boast a lot about it . ”
“…mmm . I’ll also give you the points . ”
Bibi might be too greedy about the points, and she might insist on playing .
Still, he didn’t care if they won or not . He could get his money’s worth through the Revenge… .
“The next Dimensional Battle is in 4 days . We can spend a day on earth . Do you want to go see your sister?”
“Yes, I will . ”
Jaemin picked up his cup on the table, and he downed the remaining blood . After drinking it, there was a red bloodstain near his mouth . He licked at his lips as if he wanted more .
“Ha-ah . . ”
He struggled mightily to keep his composure, but Jaemin’s eyes shook as he tried to suppress the sense of ecstasy he felt whenever he drank blood .
“Let’s go . ”
Jaemin immediately regained his wits, and he stood up from his seat . At that moment, the girl from the anthropomorphic race brought Woojin a cup of a coffee .
“Your coffee is here, my lord . ”
“Mmm . Let’s leave after I drink this . ”
Woojin leisure sipped at his coffee, and Jaemin sat back down once again .
***
Alandal’s Housing Complex .
“Yes . It’s 7 PM tonight? Yes . Woojin won’t be able to go . Yes . He’s busy . ”
Jiwon ended the call, and she looked at her watch .
It was 9 in the morning .
There was still a lot of time left until the appointed time, so Jiwon decided to take a shower .
Shwahhhhh .
It had been a long time since she had went out .
The country of Alandal was in the process of gaining independence from Korea . However, Alandal hadn’t finalized its treaty with Korea, so the border situation was a bit ambiguous . Therefore, people were allowed to travel freely between the two countries .
Even if the two countries came to an agreement, it would be possible for people to travel freely between Korea and Alandal .
However, there were several radical religious organizations and advocacy groups that protested the change near Alandal . As a precaution against potential danger, a lot of security personnel had to travel with the members of Alandal .
Woojin’s family and Do-jiwon, who was known to be his girlfriend, was under extra protection .
She wasn’t anyone special, yet she had to drag around several dozen guards . She felt like she was causing inconvenience for people, so she chose to seclude herself .
She had fun watching Che-haesol train her new monsters, and she wrote her own novels . She wasn’t lonely, but it did feel suffocating .
This school reunion party was an outing she had been looking forward to .
“Ha-ah . It would have been great if Woojin went too . ”
It wouldn’t be false to say that this school reunion party had been planned, because of Kahng-woojin .
He had become the most famous person on earth, so it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that most of the graduates would be showing up to see Woojin .
Even Cindy, who had never came to a high school reunion after she became a celebrity, was coming .
It didn’t matter what they want, since Kahng-woojin was too busy right now .
“Hmmm . ”
After her shower, she put on a towel, and she was surprised when she exited the bathroom . An unexpected person was sitting on the living room’s sofa .
“It’s been awhile, noonah . ”
Jaemin awkwardly got up, and he raised his hand .
“Ha ha . ”
Jiwon placed both her hands on her surprised face . Soon her round eyes started to mist up .
“Jaemin-ah!”
She ran towards her dongsaeng, and she hugged him tight .
Was it because of the soft objects touching him? Or was it because her towel was in a precarious situation of coming undone?
Jaemin’s face became red .
“Ooh-ook, noonah . ”
“Hoo-hook, hook . It’s all right . It’s all right . Your noonah will understand everything . ”
He didn’t know what there was to understand .
“Noonah . Just let me go and… . ”
“Who cares if you are a vampire? You are still the same person . Noonah won’t throw you away . Hoo-hoohk . Are you eating properly? Look how white your face is . ”
Jiwon grabbed Jaemin’s face, and she turned his head this way and that way to inspect him .
It had been strenuous for her as she had be worried about her tormented dongsaeng… Why was his face so pale and gaunt?
“Noonah . This a bit…”
Jaemin grabbed the shower towel that was about to fall off . Was it because he was her dongsaeng? She didn’t show much embarrassment as she readjusted her towel .
“Hoo-oohk . All right . ”
“Woojin-hyung is also here…”
Jaemin’s face unnecessarily got redder from embarrassment .
“Huh?”
Jiwon thought she had misheard him . She was about to turn her head around when her body froze . Woojin was sitting on the sofa with a grin on his face .
“You body is also very pretty . ”
“…… . ”
The only thing that could be seen was the gap showing the side of her body, but…
Jiwon’s face turned red, and she backed away from them . Woojin smiled as he saw her silently disappear into her dressing room .
“Why’s your noonah acting that way?”
“Don’t ask me . ”
Is he really asking because he didn’t know?
Jaemin shook his head from side to side .
“It was a very beautiful brother and sister reunion . ”
“Are you heading out?”
“I don’t have any time to rest . I’m returning to the Dungeon . ”
“…it isn’t as if you need more money . Why are you so diligent in going to the Dungeons?”
Woojin possessed a Dimensional Domain . Jaemin had some understanding about the change the world was going through . The Dungeons were locations where one went to earn regular Bloodstones . On earth, the Bloodstone were worth money . In the Domain, the Bloodstone could be converted to points .
Jaemin wasn’t fully knowledgeable about Woojin’s situation, so this was a mystery to him .
“Level Up . ”
“Level Up?”
Woojin waved his hand as he started to exit the room . Jaemin tilted his head in confusion .
“If you are trying to level up… That means you still have more room to grow?”
He was already so strong, yet he was still challenging the Dungeons… . His diligence was probably the reason why he became so strong .
***
An exit formed within the deep emptiness .
‘Ooh-oohk . ’
Enough time had passed that he had lost his sense of self . As the light from the exit approached him, his old memories started to surface .
‘I want to live . ’
The light from the exit surrounded his entire body, and he regained his self that he had lost .
‘I don’t want to die again . ’
After a very long time had passed, Lee-sahngho had finally been revived from his death .
He was lying flat on the floor of a familiar Ice Castle .
“Useless **** . ”
“…… . ”
Lee-sahngho’s body was trembling .
Iello spent his precious points to revive this **** . He looked down with an expression of displeasure on his face .
“I have a task for you . ”
“J…just leave it to me . This time I won’t make any mistake in causing the Breaks… . ”
“Stupid bastard!”
Lee-sahngho’s earnest words was caught off by Iello’s roar .
He couldn’t cause Dungeon Breaks like before .
When he experienced death and revival, he ceased to be a ‘Roused from Earth’ . Now he was solely the vassal of Iello, who was the 25th Great Dimensional lord .
Lee-sahngho no longer had ‘Roots’ on earth .
“I want you to take this to Planet Jaku . ”
A ring floated up in front of Iello, and it came to rest in front of Lee-sahngho . He respectfully took it with two hands .
“What should I do with this?”
“Find Rajakui, and deliver a message for me . ”
“Please favor me with your order . ”
“If he can destroy Earth, I’ll allow him entrance into Planet Iefrin . ”
Lee-sahngho had no idea what those words meant . However, he was tasked to deliver the message, so he would .
“I’ll deliver those exact words to him . ”
“Also, go to earth instead of coming back here . You should sow dissent amongst the people of earth . ”
“…how will I be able to travel to earth?”
“Wear the ring . ”
“…… . ”
Lee-sahngho opened his hand . An unknown magic could be felt emanating from the item . He slowly put on the Polymorph ring .
