80 – Collapsing Ice Castle (7)
【Transcendence succeeded.】
After 5 failures.
Successfully evolved from Devil to Arc Devil.
Of course, this was also a normal evolution.
‘I was lucky when I evolved Kkaebi.’
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who was watching from the side, also showed a clear expression of regret.
“I wanted to evolve into a new entity, not the Arc Devil, but it’s a pity…”
Just look at it.
Instructor seemed to be getting vicarious satisfaction through me.
Gacha game.
In other words, the joy you get from gambling.
‘Did he originally say he wanted to get a job similar to mine?’
Although we made a compromise.
I even thought about getting a job related to gambling…
My gambling addiction was rather serious.
It’s to the point that a game company cheated on the gacha odds, and went to the head office and destroyed the building.
There were no casualties, but it was an act that crossed the line.
It is the same even if you just listen to what you are saying.
“How about evolving the other 3 stars soon? If you lend me a lantern, I’ll take the time to collect your soul.”
“We don’t yet know if it can be transferred… No, more than that, Instructor. That’s a sign of gambling addiction…”
I added it cautiously out of concern.
“I know this is rude, but why don’t you try some treatment for your gambling addiction?”
“Not to that extent. It’s not an addiction yet, it’s a hobby area.”
“…You spend 5 billion won a week, but you can’t call that a hobby, can you?”
“I spend less compared to my income. It can be seen as similar to the average office worker spending 500,000 won a week.”
Um. If an ordinary office worker spends 500,000 won a week, isn’t that about 2 million won a month? That was enough to call it an addiction.
This should be treated unconditionally.
“Don’t deny the reality, let’s go to Jeju Island with me later. To consult a large psychiatric hospital.”
“···Why is Jeju Island a psychiatric hospital all of a sudden?”
“I also have something to treat. It would be nice if you go with me while I’m gone.”
I was also planning to visit a psychiatric hospital in Jeju Island.
Because it is a world where psychotherapy artifacts have developed, it was because I thought that maybe my injections could be cured.
‘The large psychiatric hospital in Jeju Island is reputed to be the best in the world, so there must be a possibility.’
At that time, I also decided to take Kim Soo-han with me.
He was worried that if he went to the hospital, rumors would spread and even articles would be published, but he told me to quit if he wanted to continue living like that, and after discussing it with Park Soo-min, he accepted my offer with a big heart.

Just like that.
Kim Soo-han suffered from erectile dysfunction.
Park Soo-min hates men.
I inject.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan is addicted to gambling.
It was decided that each of them would go to Jeju Island to treat various diseases.
“I will make a reservation for you.”
“Hmm? I didn’t say I was going…”
“I’ll make a reservation.”
“······I got it. I’m worried about my disciple, but there’s nothing I can’t do.”
Because it is such a famous hospital.
You have to make a reservation a long time in advance, and it’s expensive, but…
‘Was the consultation cost alone 20 million won? I should be able to get money from Bob.’
I had a summoner that made me money, so it was fine.
‘It seems like a farce, but I can’t just sit back and watch as my teacher is ruined by gambling addiction.’
I decided to take care of the people I had a relationship with as much as possible.
After adding one more member of the mental hospital like that.
“Anyway, I’ll summon you now.”
I opened the book to summon the Arc Devil.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan replied with a sullen expression as if he was not interested.
“Yes. Arch Devil has no difference in appearance from Devil, so I can’t expect it.”
While doing so, I was staring through his phone.
I wondered what he was doing, so I glanced sideways.
‘That’s really serious…’
I turned on the mobile game and was continuously playing 110,000 won gacha at a time.
“I am summoning you. Please concentrate.”
“Okay. Spin it one more time.”
In indifference.
Summoned the Arc Devil.
***
As Instructor Tak Jae-hwan said.
Evolved from Devil to Arc Devil, but the appearance remained the same.
It still had three horns.
Hair color, pupils, height, face, etc.
Everything was the same as before.
If I had to pick up a minor change.
The wings growing on the back have grown by 1.3 Times?
Other than that, it was hard to find anything different.
─Demon Lord!
“Huh?”
─After transcending existence, my desire has subsided…!
Arch Devil groped me and said.
Has that strange taste disappeared?
I asked if there was a change in personality, not appearance.
“Don’t you feel like you want to be beaten while being sold?”
─Yes! Originally, I wanted someone to curse and hit me at all times, but not anymore!
It was a pleasant sound to hear.
“I’m glad. To be honest, it was kind of hard to see.”
─hahahaha! I like it too! Now, even if you hit 100 units a day, your desire will be satisfied!
···It was an unpleasant sound.
It must have been that his level of existence increased and his self-control increased as well.
‘I can’t do this…’
As long as your personality is fine.
I was thinking of giving him a cool name this time, but it was a change of plan.
‘Pink woman should be scrapped.’
No matter how you look at it, a cool name like Pink Woman was a luxury for Arc Devil.
I just decided to give it the name I had in the beginning.
“Arc Devil.”
─Yes! Do you hit me!?
“Later. Rather than that, I’ll give you a name right now, so pay attention.”
—Oh! Finally, I have a name…!
“From now on, you are Ping Ping. Okay?”
─Pingpingi… Pingping…? Drinking too! Your naming sense is unique!
But somehow I liked it.
Does the devil like that name?
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who was watching this, shook his head and talked.
“I’ve felt this for a long time, but Lee Hyun-seong, you have a really bad naming sense.”
There was a misunderstanding.
Because my naming sense is not like this.
“This time, I built it this way on purpose. Originally, one naming is amazingly good.”
“…That includes the names I made before that.”
“Yes? Did you properly build the kaebi or iron rice bowl?”
“Um…”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan could not refute.
It made sense.
Pingpingi is a weird and strange name even to me, but Kaebi and Iron Rice Bowl are names that stick to your mouth and are even beautiful.
“Yes, if you like it, that must be a good name. Anyway···.”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who was rummaging through his pockets, took out three red jewels.
“Shouldn’t you take the Awakening Stone as well? Take it, this was the only Awakening Stone that could be obtained.”
“Ah. Thank you. I will definitely pay you back later.”
“All right. Instead of transferring schools, I declared that I would support them physically and mentally, so of course I have to do this much.”
I checked the information on the only class Awakening Stone that was handed over. To choose one of these and give Pingping a dose.
◎Unique Awakening Stone
─Hedonistic Thunderbolt
◎Unique Awakening Stone
─Hell Defender
◎Unique Awakening Stone
─Lemon Master
‘Is this all the legacy of the Old Gods?’
After knowing the truth and looking at the only class Awakening Stone, it felt a bit different.
‘Does reading in Hangeul mean that the ancient god was a being who knew Hangeul? I don’t know what the difference is between English and English.’
Five minutes to alternate between three.
From the name alone, they all looked good, so I couldn’t really choose one.
‘···It would be better for Pingping to decide.’
I told Pingping the names of the Awakening Stones one by one.
─From left to right, Thunderbolts, Hell Defenders, and Spiritualists… Is that correct?
“Yes. Pick one you like. There is no information because it is the only class.”
Pingpingi frowned as if struggling.
─Umm… To be honest, Thunderbolt doesn’t look like much.
I deliberately did not mention the word ‘enjoyment’ in front of it. It was to keep in mind the possibility of being stuck in the word and choosing it without thinking.
Only hearing the word “Thunderbolt”, Pingpingi boldly excluded the Awakening Stone.
There are only two left.
It was Hell Defender and the Sorcerer.
—Hmm. Hell Defender is…
“That must be a job specialized in defense, right? To be literal, it seems like a guardian of hell.”
It was presumed to be a similar type of job to Kim Soo-han’s sub-job, Guardian of the Sun.
After hearing my advice, Pingpingi’s face contorted.
─Then isn’t it a cowardly job that creates a protective shield?
“Isn’t it…? I don’t know cowards.”
─Go!!!
Pingpingyi screamed.
─I’m not a coward to put on a shield!
“Where else did you learn the word gal?”
─Kaebi sunbae saw it online and told me about it!
“Don’t use strange words, anyway, so you decided to become a necromancer?”
─Yep… Billion?!
Poof.
Without hesitation, I threw the Awakening Stone into Pingping’s mouth as he responded loudly. Pingping accidentally swallowed the Awakening Stone.
After that.
It was only for a while that I blinked my eyes.
─Oh…! Power, power is overflowing!!!
Pingping flapped his wings and raised his arms. The overload was severe.
“You won’t feel that way because you took the Awakening Stone, right?”
─I just did a reaction! hahahaha! Drank more than that!
Pingping gave a clever answer and focused his eyes on me.
【Kick my ass right now!】
A reluctant and strange voice pierced my ears. It seemed that this was the spirit.
···But nothing happened.
Pingpingi was also making a stupid expression, probably embarrassed.
—Demon God? Why not?
“Let’s see if there are conditions. And don’t write any words on me. Won’t you hit me in the future?”
─···Ah, no, that’s it! Sorry!
Pingping bowed her back ninety degrees and admitted her mistake.
She then shifted her gaze to Instructor Tak Jae-hwan.
─Is it wrong to use honorifics?
Pingping, who had been muttering to himself, used the language again.
【The man over there… Didn’t I tell you to call me Mr. Juice? Well! Juice! Tell me a secret you don’t want to reveal to anyone right now!]
The command is being activated.
“I have a crush on Instructor Han Yu-mi.”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan replied.
“…No, what are you doing!? What I just said is cancelled! It’s not your true heart, it’s your mouth…!”
Looks like a shame.
Even if I tried to explain it with a reddened face, it was only an excuse.
—Oh. It works! Then next time…
Things seem to be getting bigger.
PingPingi immediately brought them into the encyclopedia.
“Lee Hyeon-seong! Don’t get me wrong! It’s because his mouth really moved and said strange words!”
“Yes.”
Anyway, it seemed like I got a decent job.
