Chapter 157 - Kangsok Han, No. 1 on the Korean Server (3) (1/2)

Kangsok Han, No. 1 on the Korean server rankings, was in his mid-to-late thirties. He looked like a prince.

It may be the effect of his ‘godly stature,’ but somehow it looked like he had a halo around his head. Sungwoo felt mystified and in awe of this strange man.

‘What the heck is a demigod? Is it a job? Or something else?’

After introducing the two, Junghoon went outside because Kangsok wanted to talk with Sungwoo alone.

In such a spacious VIP lounge only Sungwoo, Kangsok, and the fairy stayed.

“Coke? Or soda? It’s not my home, but now I’ve rented it, so let me treat you,” said Kangsok.

He opened the bar’s refrigerator.

“Give me water. That’s enough.”

“I want soda!” shouted the fairy while chewing roll cake.

Kangsok quietly took out a bottle of water and soda, then poured the soda into an espresso glass. Then, he put a sip stick, commonly called a coffee straw, and placed it next to the roll cake.

“Thanks!”

“Eat a little. Don’t overeat like you did last time. You can’t fly!”

“It’s too late!”

Kangsok sat face to face with Sungwoo.

“The best necromancer on the Korean server…”

Kangsok opened the water bottle and handed it to Sungwoo. When he rose, his shirt sleeves rose and the bracelet on his wrist was revealed.

Eyeball-shaped red gems glistened on a black metal chain. A total of five rings were worn on his hands. Each of them was high grade. Sungwoo realized that the equipment items he was wearing were gorgeous even though he was not armed.

“Thank you for seeing me like this when you’re busy. I was impressed by your fighting in Youido. Nabi liked that fight very much. Oh, her name is Nabi.”

“Wow, you are the man who fought there! Your battle in Youido was really great! Can you give me a ride on Bone Drake later?”

Sungwoo looked at the fairy flapping her small wings, Nabi, then asked Kangsok, “Is that an item?”

“What the heck? Item? Are you talking about me?”

Kangsok nodded with a smile.

“Oh, that’s right. She’s an item. Have you played something like Tamagotchis? If you give cake and soda to her, her happiness will increase. You feel happy and satisfied while seeing her. It’s great for preventing depression.”

“Hey! How can you call me an item! You shouldn’t do that. Without me, you would have to talk to yourself all day long, right?”

“That’s why I said you are good for preventing depression.”

The fairy screamed like crazy, swinging the teaspoon, but the little voice from that small figure drew their attention.

Sungwoo said, “I heard that something is coming that will determine the fate of this land.”

Sungwoo got down to the point right away, and Kangsok nodded.

It was a very profound subject, but he looked relaxed. He picked up a can of soda and turned his head to look at Nabi.

“Yeah, I got a prophetic stone and got to see it. I think it was Bad Ending-15. Oh, you know what a prophetic stone is, right?”

Sungwoo nodded.

Bad Ending meant the end of this land. The ‘Korean Server Bad Ending-2’, which Junghoon had shown Sungwoo, showed the scenes of the world tree raised in Youido flooding and encroaching on the entire Korean peninsula.

“Interestingly, in some prophetic stones, reading a prophecy is also the starting point of that prophecy. I found that prophetic stone; then, the prophecy began to come true.”

Kangsok continued, putting down the soda can, “The dungeon called Hell’s Gate has opened. It was a level of 27, and its level of difficulty came with a party play recommendation. Appropriate level 27? Honestly, I didn’t have a problem, but party play was a problem.”

Then, he took out a stone of a familiar shape. It was a ‘prophecy’.

“Seeing is believing, right?”

Sungwoo nodded and accepted the prophetic stone. As expected, the video was played.

-You contacted ‘a prophetic stone (Korean Server Bad Ending-15)’.

The world was engulfed in darkness. Somewhere there was an eerie whispering. The voices of old men, women, and children were mixed, so they could not be understood.

“The door… opens.”

As soon as some words were heard, the ruined city came into view.

Sungwoo didn’t know where it was. In the meantime, there was a giant corpse that could not be recognized. It looked like a large monster, but someone appeared in front of it.

“Kangsok! Look over there! A prophetic stone!”

“Yes, I saw it too.”

It was Kangsok Han and the fairy. They found something inside the monster’s body.

The moment he reached out and picked up the prophetic stone, something happened.
