Chapter 338 (2/2)

Yoo Minseok had a headache and took out the Tylenol he had placed in a drawer. He put it in his mouth and swallowed it with water. It didn’t work immediately, but it still felt like his headache went away. Yoo Minseok stared up at the ceiling and murmured to himself, “What the hell is the truth, Chairman-nim?”

Yoo Minseok recalled the face of the dead Lee Geonmyeong and fell into regret. Yoo Minseok recalled the first time he met Lee Geonmyeong. It was still unbelievable that someone so caring and warm would conduct an illegal experiment. Yoo Minseok still wasn’t certain despite seeing the evidence with his own eyes.

If it was true then what would he have done? Could he reveal the truth? He didn’t know yet.

“...Well, it’s all meaningless now.”

Chairman Lee Geonmyeong, who was holding the clue to everything, died. However, Joseph still didn’t give up. He was collecting information and recently formed an expedition to reach the place of the coordinates. Yoo Minseok said he would stop digging into the truth because it was useless now. Joseph understood him.

“......”

Yoo Minseok closed his eyes and thought about it. No, he didn’t want to think about it at all. The idea of just setting it all down and resting dominated his head.

Then knocking was heard once again. Yoo Minseok didn’t tell the person to come in, but he felt the door open. He opened one eye and stared at the person who came in. It was Cha Jincheol who had come from the monitoring room. “Brother-in-law!”

“Hmm, what’s going on?”

“The descent of the gods will soon begin.”

“Already?”

Yoo Minseok immediately stood up. Cha Jincheol followed after Yoo Minseok. Before long, the two of them reached the monitoring room located underground. All of Union’s employees were gathered there. The descent of the gods was one of the most important events in the world of Arkstar so it was probably natural.

“Welcome.”

“The chairman is here as well.”

Yoo Minseok bowed deeply to Lee Seokjun, who stood in front of him. Lee Seokjun smiled bitterly. “I’m not chairman yet.”

“Still, isn’t it correct to say you will be chairman soon?”

“In that case, you will soon be the department head, Department Head Yoo Minseok.”

Yoo Minseok smiled bitterly. He wasn’t sure if he was qualified for a promotion when he secretly investigated Lee Geonmyeong. Of course, Lee Seokjun would never even dream that such a thing happened.

“......”

Lee Seokjun read Yoo Minseok’s expression and realized this person hadn’t yet forgotten his father. Lee Seokjun coughed to relieve the atmosphere. “It will start soon.”

Yoo Minseok followed Lee Seokjun silently and moved his gaze to the screen. A reporter dispatched to the scene was talking. To his surprise, it was Metheus where Choi Chuntaek was.

-This is Gang Daegi in Metheus, the capital of the Atlan Kingdom. There are 30 minutes left until the descent of the gods. Indeed...

* * *

Currently, I was relaxing in a private space in Metheus. I was leaning against a chair with my eyes closed, all the strength drained from my body.

“Are you okay, Your Majesty? Here.”

“Um, thank you.”’

I accepted the towel Helena and placed it on my forehead to cool my head. For reference, I rose to the position of king not long ago. The players and NPCs had gathered here after the Orca Kingdom and Parta Principality were destroyed, so the conditions for becoming king were met. I abruptly became king and I named the kingdom ‘Atlan.’ Metheus naturally became the capital of Atlan.

Right now, I was in the royal palace.

“Um, let’s see. How do you use this?” I looked under the chair where I was sitting.

“Just give it a bit of magic power. That is what Great Magician Park Maksun did.”

“Ah, I see. Thanks for letting me know.”

I closed my eyes and injected some magic power into the chair as Helena instructed. Then the chair started to vibrate. I buried myself even deeper and smiled happily at the cool feeling.

“Uhut, uhum, uhuh, coooool. Uhuhuhu!”

I couldn’t help laughing. This was a magical item that Park Maksun had sent me to congratulate me on becoming king. It was said to have been made using the core of the earthquake slime living near Oz. The earthquake slime was a monster that caused small earthquakes. Park Maksun used its characteristics to make a massage chair. Wow, this was a really cool feeling. It was much better than being at home, right?

“Uhut, uhuh, huuut. He, lena. Hey.”

“Huh?”

“Uhum, uhum, let’s use this as the throne.”

“What? Are you serious?”

“Yesssss. Uhuhut. It is very coooool!”
