Seoul Station’s Necromancer Chapter 159:
Chapter 159 – God of Earth (2)
There was a crowd of people in front of Sooah’s room . When Woojin arrived, he saw Do-jiwon and Cindy within the crowd .
“Woojin-ah… . ”
Jiwon’s voice was filled with worry and misery . However, she couldn’t console Woojin . No, it wasn’t a situation where she needed to console him .
The unconscious Sooah had just woken up .
“I’ll talk to you later . ”
“All right . ”
Woojin walked past the people, and he entered the room . His mother’s face was filled with tears, and her nose was running . She feebly turned her head towards him .
“Woojin-ah… My Sooah… Sooah doesn’t recognize her mother . Hoo-oohk . ”
“It’s all right . ”
Woojin patted his mother on the back .
She had temporary amnesia?
She had become a Priestess that will deliver the divine words . However, he had never encountered a situation where the host’s memories were erased .
It wasn’t an amnesia . Some being had borrowed her body, and its aura was surrounding the small girl .
A **** was manifesting itself by borrowing the body of the priestess .
Currently, this girl wasn’t his dongsaeng, Sooah . It was literally the unknown **** itself .
“Please leave for a moment . ”
Lee-soogyung’s feet was heavy from worry, but they weren’t going to get anywhere by her staying here . She exited the room .
When the room was occupied by the two of them, the being opened her closed eyes .
A blinding light was leaking out of her eyes . It was almost impossible to face her . Woojin frowned as he asked a question .
“Shouldn’t you at least give an introduction?”
[…… . ]
“You don’t know your name? Try picking one . Jesus, Shakyamuni, God… Mmmm . What else is there?”
Woojin made invidious remarks . She opened her lips when she heard him .
However, the sound wasn’t delivered to his ears .
[I was born from the Seed when this planet went through the Quickening recently . Why would I have a name?]
“Hoh . You are a nameless **** . The Quickening happened recently?”
Was there no other gods on earth? This might be the first **** to arrive… .
[I met you when I took my first step . However, I’ve known you for a long time . ]
The smile on Woojin’s face disappeared .
“Why don’t you speak intelligently, so I can understand what you are saying?”
[I’ve been watching your deeds . ]
“…… . ”
The light being emitted by her eyes dimmed .
“Ha-ah . The gods are all the same . ”
The gods he met on Alphen was like this . He didn’t know why they spoke in such a transient manner .
“Mmmm . ”
Accompanying a moan, the falling little girl returned to being his dongsaeng, Sooah . The oppressive magical energy surrounding her had disappeared .
Woojin hugged her as she was about to fall to the floor .
“Ooh-ook . ”
Sooah’s eyes were half-closed, and her vision flickered . When she saw Woojin, she labored to part her lips .
“Oppa… . ”
“Yes . It’s your oppa . ”
She had suffered a lot . If she hadn’t been able to endure the process, she would have died . She managed to endure, and she had delivered the god’s voice .
<Lv 50 Kahng-sooah>
In a flash, Kahng-sooah had gained the power of the 5th Circle . In earth’s Rank, she was already a Rank B Roused .
“Oppa . In my dream, I… . ”
Woojin gave Sooah a tight hug .
“You did good . ”
He was thankful she was able to endure the process, and he was thankful that she was still alive . Sooah blinked her eyes at Woojin’s uncharacteristic gesture .
“So what is the name of the friend that appeared in your dream?”
“Huh? I don’t know its name… . ”
“All right . I’ll call mother . You should rest a little bit . ”
“Yes . ”
She had the ability of a 5th Circle Priestess .
She would be able to use her abilities through her prayers . Sooah will grow up to be a special existence . She would be like the current priestess of the Aria Church, Melody .
When Woojin exited the room, an employee with a panicked face ran towards him .
“S…something terrible has happened . Kim-kahngchul has run away . ”
“…… . ”
Woojin wrinkled up his forehead .
He turned his head slightly to look into Sooah’s room, which he had just exited .
“Woojin-ah . ”
When Jiwon called his name, Woojin’s gaze landed on her . Her pristine soul was shaking a little bit .
“I’ll see you later . ”
“Yes . All right . ”
Woojin mussed Jiwon’s head once, then he walked down the corridor . Cindy was by Jiwon’s side, and she asked in a small voice .
“Whew . Woojin is incredibly busy . ”
“Yes, he is . ”
“Are you ok with that? It was announced that you are his girlfriend, but in truth, you don’t get to see him often… . ”
“Ha ha . I’m all right . ”
She wasn’t lying . Do-jiwon really didn’t mind .
Kahng-woojin was busy, and she completely understood it . He had saved her life . How shameless would it be for her to complain to get attention from him?
Jiwon was just thankful that she was able to watch him from closeby .
He was a dangerous and busy person .
He was the hero that was saving earth .
“Eh-ee . Did you even kiss him yet?”
“Huh?”
At Cindy’s question, Jiwon’s face turned bright red . Then she looked around her surrounding, and she spoke in a small voice .
“We shouldn’t speak about such things here . ”
This was the room where the unconscious Sooah had just woken up . It wasn’t the place to joke about such stuff . Jiwon led Cindy by her hand as they exited the room .
“Uh-whew . You have it pretty rough . ”
Cindy let out a sigh .
She was the lover of the most famous man in the world, yet it looked to be a hard life to be loved by him .
“So when are you going back home?”
“Uh? A…am I a bother?”
“I didn’t mean it that way . ”
Cindy was surprised by Jiwon’s sudden question . When she replied back, Jiwon shook her head .
A couple days ago, Cindy had called her out of the blue .
Cindy seemed to have suffered lingering trauma from the reunion, and she had halted all her media activity . She was on a break . However, it seemed she still had anxiety attacks, so she had asked Jiwon for help . Cindy had wondered if she could recuperate in Alandal .
Do-jiwon received permission from Minchan, who was the Prime Minster, and she had invited Cindy over .
Cindy had already lived with her for 3 days, and Jiwon had a feeling that this living situation would last for a long time .
“Eh-whew . It seems not everyone can be the lover of a hero . ”
“…… . ”
“I don’t think I could do it even if it cost me my life . ”
Jiwon didn’t have a retort for Cindy’s words .

Woojin looked out the broken window as he surveyed the bustling training ground . Then he turned his gaze towards the fallen Woo-soonghoon .
“He isn’t conscious, but he is still alive . ”
At the security guard’s words, Woojin plucked a soul that was hovering around him, and he let it absorb into Soonghoon .
“Ooh ooh . ”
Soonghoon had regained his vigor . He let out a moan as he got off the floor .
“P…president . No, my king . ”
“What happened?”
“He was talking nonsense when he suddenly threw something at me . Afterwards, I… . ”
“What did he say?”
“I can’t remem… Ah! He was saying something about whether coincidences can happen in this world . ”
“Coincidence . ”
Woojin let out a bitter laugh .
Was it called the Moon World? Toppler was part of this organization, and they were supporting Kim-kahngchul .
Those **** wanted to talk with Woojin . However, they wanted to do so while hiding their real identities in the dark .
“You should take care of your body more . You should exercise a little bit . ”
“…… . ”
How could he face a Roused just from doing some exercise? In the first place, there wasn’t anyone in Alandal right now that could keep Kim-kahngchul aside from Woojin .
It was partially Kahng-woojin’s fault . He had thought Kim-kahngchul was in a defenseless state .
“Well, you should get some rest . You over there . Tell Minchan to come to my room . ”
“Yes, sir!”
Before the secretary could exit, he started to backpedal . It seemed Jung-minchan had already heard the news, and he had come running to this location . It wasn’t necessary to call him .
“What happened?”
“What do you think happened? Put Kim-kahngchul on the wanted list . ”
“What? For what crime… . If one objectively looks at the circumstances, the president… . It looks as if the king had kidnapped Mr . Kim-kahngchul . ”
Kim-kahngchul had appeared for the interview, and Woojin had abruptly fought with him . Woojin had dragged a half-crippled Kim-kahngchul into Alandal . As if troubled by Minchan’s words, Woojin stroked his chin . Then he looked towards the damaged window .
“Just say he committed vandalism . ”
“…… . ”
He just had to make up a crime .
“This won’t hold up in Korea . ”
“I’m not trying to catch him . Just do it . ”
“Understood . ”
Minchan was quick on the uptake, so he understood the purpose behind Woojin’s order . If a bulletin on his wanted status was sent out, the suspect will have to constantly look over his back . He’ll be extra careful as not to be found, and this will restrict his movements .
Woojin wanted to suppress Kim-kahngchul’s activities .
“Tell me if the preparation for the general guild assembly is going well . I’ll be out in 3 days time . ”
“Yes . People from numerous guilds around the world are arriving in Korea . We’ve provided them a place to stay at the KH Hotel . ”
“You take care of those details . What about the newly chosen employees?”
“We are doing a background check, and we have to gauge each of their abilities…”
“Send them into my room . I’ll return after training them for about 3 days . ”
“…… . ”
He said three days, but it was 12 days time inside the Dungeon .
They had just joined an hour ago, yet they would be going into a Dungeon with Kahng-woojin . Will they be able to quickly adapt?
“Isn’t it too early? Maybe we should prepare them a little bit more before deploying them . The problem is whether they’ll be able to adapt…”
“Minchan . ”
“Yes, sir . ”
Woojin’s single word stopped Prime Minister Jungminchan’s words in its track .
“The ones that adapt well will survive the battle . Right?”
“Yes . ”
“If they are to adapt well to the situation, they need to be trained well . ”
“You are correct . ”
“I’m not taking them to a war zone . It is only a hunting ground . ”
Depending on the person, it wasn’t a hunting ground . It was a place where one had to fiercely compete for one’s survival .
However, Minchan did refute his words .
“I’ll immediately prepare them, and I’ll send them up . ”
“I won’t wait long . Ready them quickly . ”
“Yes, sir . . ”
As if he had said all he needed to say, Woojin exited the room to go up to his office .
“Whew . ”
Jung-minchan let out the breath he had been holding . He didn’t know if it was Kim-kahngchul’s escape or Kahng-sooah’s recoveredd consciousness, but Kang-woojin’s mood was sharp . It was different from his normal mood .
Minchan immediately went to the conference room where the new recruits were waiting for him . They were going through the contract with a fine-toothed comb . When they signed it, they’ll gain citizenship to Alandal .
They would become citizens of Alandal, but business were conducted like any other guild .
They had to clear and maintain Dungeons . Moreover, they had to suppress the monster when Breaks occurred .
The only thing different was that no country held jurisdiction over this guild . Moreover, Alandal operated with the world as its stage .
No, they even operated in planets located in different dimensions… .
“I want all your attention . ”
“…… . ”
The twenty three pairs of worried eyes headed towards Prime Minister Jung-Minchan .
“Everyone will be following the king into a Dungeon right now . ”
“What are you talking about? We haven’t even signed the contract yet . ”
“That’s right . We haven’t even decided if we are going to join, yet you suddenly spring a Dungeon run on us . ”
Minchan shook his head from side to side as if he was in a difficult spot .
“That isn’t important right now . I want you all to engrave my words into your heart . It will increase your chance for survival . When you enter the Dungeon, do not stray far away from the King, and this includes the Death Knights… . ”
“Look here! Don’t we have any rights here?”
“Isn’t this too forceful of a method?”
“I don’t want to join this guild . I’ll be leaving . Please let me out . ”
“…… . ”
The people, who passed the interview, continued to complain . Minchan’s complexion darkened .
It seemed these people were under some kind of a delusion .
At that moment, the conference room’s door opened, and Kahng-woojin entered .
“Everyone’s gathered . ”
It seemed Woojin hadn’t planned on waiting . He immediately came looking for them .
“If everyone is here, we’ll go . ”
Zzeeeeeeng .
Woojin opened the portal heading towards Alandal .
Nervousness appeared on the faces of people when the portal was suddenly formed .
“I’m out . ”
“…?”
Woojin looked at the person, who spoke, as he tilted his head .
“Says who?”
“What?”
Woojin looked at every single face once before he opened his mouth .
“I want to protect earth . What about you guys?”
“…… . ”
Why was he talking in such grandiose terms? Everyone was having a hard time answering the question .
Woojin continued to speak .
“If you are here for a free ride, you can leave . ”
“R…really? We can leave here?”
“Of course, you’ll have to leave earth . ”
“W…what kind of… . ”
Woojin smirked as he stood in front of the portal .
“If you want to pass through this portal as a dead Skeleton, take a seat . If you want to be alive when you leave, get in a single line . Start . ”
“……!”
Koo-da-tahng!
Before Wooijn’s words could end, people pushed aside the desk . They scrambled to form a line in front of Woojin .
“Tell me your numbers . ”
“One . ”
“Two . ”
…… .
“Twenty three . I am the last number . ”
Woojin put on a satisfied smile .
“I want to welcome all of you for becoming members of Alandal . ”
Woojin’s voice sounded like the voice of a devil guarding the entrance to **** . In fact, the red portal looked like the entrance to **** to the newly recruited Roused . They had on an agonized expression as they passed through the portal entrance .
