I Became a Father - Chapter 9

[Memory data for 4 dead people has been modified.]

[Modifications are supplemented by the system.]

The system should complete the details on its own.

“Okay, okay.”

There was content that was not confirmed. But thankfully I was a generous client! Even if there was a problem with it, I would take responsibility for it. As I killed those with my spell, I became the administrator of this area. Thus, why I gained the responsibility.

I wouldn’t give up and keep on challenging!

[Chaos Level: 0]

I cleared my own chaos level. The chaos levels were evenly distributed to Sapal and the three boys. I felt proud for myself. Was this how benefactors felt whenever they shared something of theirs?
(T/N: Yeah, but he wasn’t sharing something good -.-)

At this point, it was possible to peek into the memories of them 4. Of course, I had no interest in looking into it. I was not a stalker or a criminal.

[Sapal (Kim Joohan)]

-Mirage: 48th floor

-Class: Bandit

-Owned Skill: <Open Up>

-Owned Title: <Open Up>

-Attacked Dungeon: <Open Up>

-Contractor: None

-Patronage: None

-Subscriber: None

-Awakening Date: March 9, 2015

Instead, what I wanted to see was his information as a hunter. I wasn’t curious about Sapal’s information, but wondered how it would appear to the administrator.

Information on the hunters licenses from the Mirage was synchronized here.

“This bastard?”

I had just looked through it and this was unexpected. It was obvious to not receive any contactor nor patronage on the 48th level. Hunters would only be able to receive patronage when they entered the 51st floor.

But, how could there be no one that subscribed to him? That was really sad honestly. A watcher would keep on checking the hunters who had entered the 41st floor. Then they would put a hand on the hunters who seemed promising or felt compatible with them. That was a subscription.

Of course, it was not known to the public. Only few people in the world would know this fact.

“This friend is kinda interesting.”

[Passive skill]

-Quick Dagger (Rank: B → B)

His rank remained unchanged.

Having awakened as a hunter with a silver spoon and kept on fighting on the 48th floor for 5 years. Oh my~

Did the watcher get an enlightenment like me and chosen to not fight nor to see a fight? That could be the reason why they were so enthusiastic about giving a ‘bus’ ride.

But there was something more important.

“He didn’t have that ‘beast mode’ skill?”

I couldn’t see the ‘beast mode’ skills anywhere.
(T/N: “Beast Mode” is turning a part of the body into an animal. Because the three mentioned sapal as ‘rat’, that’s how Minjun misunderstood and thought Sapal had a Beast Mode skill)

They deceived me! They deceived me, that three rascals!

“But those guys are also interesting.”

I bursted into laughter looking at the triplets’ information. Slender was level 70, Muscles 60, Fatso 59.

But what about their passive skills?

Fatso B → B-Rank. That was normal. I had nothing to say.

Muscles B → A-Rank. That was pretty good. He received several patronages and still has some subscribers.

Slender B → B-Rank. Yes and all his active skills were based on his passive skills.

Slender’s level was higher but if he was going to fight against the Muscles, he would lose and be beaten all the way.

But, he also managed to climb to the 70th floor with only passive skills. It might be hard for unskilled him to take a bus as well. He might have forced himself to the 70th floor by causing all kinds of troubles to others. I didn’t know why. Are there any secrets of his awakening?

Or maybe…

“Maybe he was just awakened in the early time?”

Muscles and Fatso were in their 3rd year of being a hunter, while Slender was in his 8th year of hunter. The cataclysm had been happening for 10 years now, so he was a pretty old guy since he was in his 8th year.

I knew the top of the guild wasn’t that pure. Taking money as an entrance fee and receiving compensation in the name every year, huh? Of course, personal connections had a big role to play in this process. Just like Slender.

Everyone gets excited when they say they had just eaten with the guild leader or they just went to the sauna together. But I didn’t know that the law of seniority was also applied.

Came to think of it.

It seems that Slender was complaining about his time. Even though there was a difference in their skills and Muscles and Fatso knew this well due to the system that showed them that. They still followed Slender because he was their senior.

I was impressed. I was very impressed by him. They were admirable.

Older hunters had experience, in which they proved by fighting with monsters… But I didn’t think it was going to be like this.

“It’s annoying anyway.”

It was like me, doing the ‘yap’ and then I fixed their memories. It might seem interesting at first but it became boring afterwards.

It would be fun to see other people’s information, but could it make money, bread, or fried dumplings?

….… Ah.

I wanted to eat fried dumplings, an excellent idea came to my mind.

After all, people get bothered and have to watch it.

A lesson learnt from the famous SpiderMan who kept succeeding his missions even though they were so impossible. There were no rules that obligated you to climb a tall building by stairs right? Well, as successful as he was, that didn’t mean I was going to climb the Mirage through its outer wall.

[A spider human appears in the Seoul Mirage!]

[Hunters of Korea, successfully contacted the Mirage?!]

I decided to climb through the stairs because I didn’t want to get any attention. Because if I climbed by the outer wall, it would become news just like that. Even the flying and crawling guardians know how to enter through the entrance. It was impossible to climb through the outer wall of the Mirage.

I could do it if I wanted to. The problem was that there was no meaning, the efficiency was bad, and only the side effects were big.

“Young~cha.”

I put Sehwa down in the stroller for a while, then she reached out her hands to the air.

-Kkwaaakh!

This sound was more pleasant than when I opened the tape on the delivery box! But keep in mind that joy might just be a noise for someone else.

[Your actions are recognized by the watchers.]

[Most watchers show interest in your actions.]

Like this.

[Some are embarrassed by your idea.]

[Some admire your ability to act.]

[Some are displeased by your tyranny.]

When I did the ‘yap’ spell, the administration authority responded calmly and the silent watcher violently reacted.

Didn’t you have this experience while living in an apartment or a villa? Someone in the neighborhood woke up from their sleep because of the sound of hammering, drilling or loud TV.

The feeling was similar to that.

All of the watchers recognized it, but only few of them showed interest.

If you’re targeting the EX-Rank tutorial, would you think the initial wizard would have done something like this? Should I just put my head under the pillow and hold on until the noise is gone?

“Well, they’re very shy and timid.”

Actually, I had one watcher that I wanted them to watch me, but they didn’t. Instead, they freaked out. Instead of them, another watcher gave an unusually strong gaze.

[<Life’s Predator> is watching you.]

And what was his reason…? Even on the first day, he watched once and left. Maybe it was because of lovely Sehwa…..? The watchers couldn’t see Sehwa directly, but when they looked at me, it was possible to find her from a slight glance.

It was because I wasn’t really hiding her. Not that I couldn’t hide her, but I didn’t want to hide her. Truly.

Certain forces with Barriers made it hard to avoid the watcher’s eyes. Even if my power from the Initial Dungeon days were intact, it would still be difficult.

But now that I had the Mirage administrator authority, I could make the screen smoky and blurry.

“Let’s see.”

With the eyes of the watchers behind, I looked to the torn space. In general, when a space was torn, it became empty and only a void existed in this place. However, there were a lot of mysterious patterns and mysterious objects on the inside.

–gulp.

I swallowed my saliva without realizing it. Let’s be the master of wizard and alchemy!

A space where the power of existence that reaches the god realm melted. To explain it in one sentence, how amazing this was! It was so awesome that I couldn’t understand it completely.

“Heh…”

—-

Sometimes I was worried about Sehwa’s ‘breathing’, so I had to check on it once in a while. But she looked very friendly and she was smiling in her sleep. She looked like a little fairy! And an angelic one!

“….Ugh.”

I spent 30 minutes squatting and looking at Sehwa sleeping.

*click*

I got up after I finished healing my time by taking pictures of her. Before Sehwa woke up, I wanted to get rid of the complicated Mirage work.

Then there was a place I wanted to take Sehwa…

“Ah! Ahhh!”

I made a mistake! I couldn’t get a picture of her runny nose!

“Ugh.”

I managed to swallow that feeling.

–Doldoldol.

I pushed the stroller to reach the Realm of God and the Master of Wizard and Alchemy…Wait. That was longer than Sujin’s name.

Let’s try again.

–Doldoldol.

I pushed the stroller across the Mirage control room. The control room was a space where the administrator could do his tasks and privilege.

[You entered the 11th floor of Mirage.]

[You entered the 12th floor of Mirage.]

… .

[You entered the 50th floor of Mirage.]

I’ve arrived~!

The Mirage climbing was automatically recognized just by taking a walk.

[Acquires administrator authority in The 2nd-5th Area]

I can’t leave without using administration authority privileges.

[You have conquered The 2nd-5th Area.]

[As compensation, 1,220 crystals are paid to the inventory.]

[1,220 crystals are registered in the transaction window.]

[Balance: 1,260,000,130 won]

Well, I got rich.
(T/N: 1 crystal equals as 1 million won)

If I went up to the 50th floor of the Mirage, I could earn over 1.2 billion won. Even if the Realm Guild had 465 million pears, it would remain nearly 800 million. Even the CC I saw at the entrance of the Mirage must have touched quite a bit of money.

Then. Wouldn’t it be okay to not go to the dungeon dangerously while doing frugal investment? It’s not that the hunters never thought about it.

Basically, the hunter needed equipment.

Even the initial wizard’s wand that I received from the Hunter Association increased my magic attack by 100%, so double. Not to mention the decent performance of the equipment, but also the fact that it was very expensive. In addition, dozens or hundreds of crystals were used to consume and repair it.

I was not using that initial wizard’s wand yet, so it hadn’t cost me a lot of money yet.

In other words, let’s talk about other people anyway!

“Nunnunanna~♬”

When I looked at my rich accounts, it made me hum.

Let’s see. If Sehwa spent 5 million won a meal and oftenly consumes Mirage mana…… We can last for three months!

“Shiii…Shii….”

“It’s not long, is it?”

I wish I could intervene with the Mirage’s crystal generating system using the administrator’s authority. Unfortunately, using the authority of the administrator to cut the belly of the golden goose had been blocked.

“Let’s give it over there to the ladies and gentleman.”

Well, instead, I had other ideas that will generate fixed profit.

“Shouldn’t you guys pay rent?”

[The watchers are silent at your request.]
