24 – The Blood Messenger
If you live kindly, blessings will come.
A story that has been heard so often that it is colorless to argue who said it.
And, it was a story that I had been dismissing as bullsh*t as my hair grew thicker, but today it seemed that blessing had finally come.
“…… Is it real?”
I muttered absentmindedly as I looked around the room.
Just now, my new best friend, Xiao Fang, showed me to my bedroom.
However, upon entering the room, a luxurious room spread out in front of my eyes that made me doubt whether I had been informed incorrectly.
Is it like this when you go to a 5-star hotel? Luxurious tiles are plastered on all floors and walls from the entrance, and of course luxurious furniture is placed everywhere. All corners are adorned with gold lacquer and jewels, giving off a dazzling light.
Luxury that has never been seen even in dramas. I was just taken aback by the unexpected sight.
And then, I was overwhelmed.
“…… Huh.”
Why are you treating me like this? Xiao Fang!
Obviously I had formidable wealth, but receiving it as a gift gave me a different feeling.
What do you do if you have the ability to copy money, have 10 billion assets, and roll money in trillions?
Since I was born a commoner, I don’t know how to spend money properly! I didn’t have time to write because I couldn’t get off work!
Yes. Everything was the problem with the evil boss, Irene, who made it impossible for me to live my life properly!
“…… Damn Irene. I will definitely kill you.”
Since I have to follow Xiao Fang’s request, we won’t be able to meet forever, but I just wished that one day we could meet by chance and make some bread.
Bubbling and bubbling like that, I slipped my steps into the room and, with a little exaggeration, I saw a bed the size of my own room.
“…… Jesus.”

Can you really live in bed?
No, they give you such a luxurious bed and room for free?
I haven’t even started working yet? Is it true? Are you crazy?!
Answer me quickly!
Shaopaaa!!!
Oh my God, is this really an office worker? Are you an angelic boss?
What on earth is the company I’ve been working for, the Selberg Magic Tower, and the f*cking Irene?
And then, what on earth was I who changed to Passion Pay there?
I felt confused about my identity, and inadvertently approached the bed and stopped.
It was because his body was covered in dust after rolling on the cement floor for a long time.
“Umm, you shouldn’t get dirty from the first day.”
I decided to enter into luxurious greed and enjoy a luxurious bath before jumping into a luxurious bed.
“…… No, sh*t. How come you don’t have anything you don’t like?”
I was expressing my doubts while warming myself in a golden bath.
It’s really, really luxurious, and it’s a great job.
However, when I think of a company that requires me to stay overnight for a month from the first day I come to work, I am afraid that I am in an environment full of resentments.
Anyway, after taking a bath and putting on a gown, I stood in front of the ultra bed, ready for the final battle.
I shouted.
“GAZaaa!!!”
I fly like a butterfly! Fell heavily.
However, the mattress on the bed only rocked and rather quickly enveloped me with soft, unshakable comfort.
“Ah, is this really the bed of Inse? ….”
God, once you get used to this nonsense…….
I can never be satisfied with a shabby little bed in the Magic Tower.
…… I made up my mind.
No matter how much Shin Hye-yeong and the people of Mage Tower cry and pray, this place is their lifetime job. I’m sure I’ll bury the bones.
By the way, if Irene begged, I was going to hit her.
‘…… What if Hannah asks to go back? What about my mom and dad?’
Hmm. Can’t we just ask to live together?
…… No, what good is a girl who didn’t even tell me that the world was going to end!
Remembering how I was treated like a fool by Xiaofang earlier, I became pouty and decided that this was my lifelong job.
Is it because of the relief of being freed from black companies after making up my mind like that? Slowly, sleep began to set in.
After a month of exhaustion, I gladly accepted it.
…… Soon fell into a daze.

Another one.
The sound of shoes echoes through the hallway.
Glittering blue hair sways on the red carpet.
Xiao Fang, the owner of that hair, moved her steps with a very blunt expression, as if she had never smiled kindly herself.
After walking for a long time, Xiao Fang finally arrived at her lab.
Kikki— She opened the door and entered.
I saw an uninvited guest on one wall, but she didn’t respond, just focusing on tidying up the things on her desk.
However, the uninvited guest, Sword Saint Marco, could not stand it and spoke first.
He is the ‘sword star’ given to those who have reached the top of the sword among the warriors of the black rank in China.
He was a middle-aged white man with blonde hair who felt a sense of distance from that title.
“Xiaofang, what the hell did you bring?”
“It’s a pretty good ability, so I just picked it up, so what’s the problem?”
“No, not that.”
Marco let out a blank laugh. Among the black-level abilities, he was at the top of his senses, and he could clearly hear the conversation between Xiao Fang and Lee Jin-woo.
“No, isn’t yellow a bit full of time? Does the Mage Tower feel a little different? You don’t even know how to ruin the world Is it a dog or a slave that was kept in the Mage Tower? Oh, then it is understandable.”
Marco reached his own conclusion and nodded his head in satisfaction.
Seeing that, Xiao Fang narrowed her eyes.
‘…… No, did you just say something like this?’
There was a corner where I thought it was because I was an immature person who was obsessed with martial arts and only focused on it.
You should ask yourself why you picked it up from such a sea of fire.
A man named Jinwoo Lee and this person are filthy fools.
And I am the poor leader caught between the two idiots.
Xiaofang let out a deep sigh and said,
“It seems to me that he is just an idiot and doesn’t know.”
“Ah, even kidding. No matter how stupid you are, if you were a member, you would have been educated at the Mage Tower, but how could you not know? They must have been neglected because they were slaves.”
As Marco continued to speak resolutely, Xiao Fang tilted his head.
Obviously the first time I saw him, he had a blockade around his neck.
…… However, even though the Mage Tower has a knack, it doesn’t have slaves.
Having once had enemies in the Mage’s Tower, she knew they weren’t open to being enslaved enough to walk the streets.
Then, Xiaofang suddenly recalled the magic wave that enveloped Lee Jin-woo and added.
“It would be more correct to see it as a personal possession of a blood lion rather than a mage tower, right?”
“…… A blood lion?”
Marco, who had been laughing, hardened his expression as soon as he heard that.
The Blood Lion.
A monster that serves as God’s Apostle and at the same time belongs to the Black Class Dungeon Expedition and is active.
Even for Marco, who feels a sense of admiration when seeing a strong warrior, she was a monster among monsters, an abyss.
“…… Isn’t that dangerous? If it was that light year, I would go crazy for touching mine.”
“Pu-up, Marco. Were you scared? Are you serious?”
Xiao Fang let out her laugh and lifted her wooden box, holding it in her hand.
The recaptured first-class artifact, the spirit jade. There is this, and right now they are entrenched in a concealed fortress.
“Now we don’t even have to leave the fort. All you have to do is think about how to live well while preparing step by step until the end.”
We even hid a building that we couldn’t enter in the first place, so even the blood lions couldn’t harm us.
Even if they come, what will they do? Right now, there are hundreds of enemy-class people in the fortress, and five black-class people who have reached the peak of their skills.
Aside from the world’s three major powers, Selberg, Musingung, and Guild, it is a force that can compete with any other force.
I couldn’t completely rule it, but I had the best relics in my hands, so even an apostle of God could easily soak at least one.
Yes…….
“There is no element of anxiety.”
The grand scheme will surely succeed.
Xiaofang was convinced.
* * *
Jilin Province, China. A road within the realm of Musingung, hidden from civilians.
Ruleureung—!
The rickshaw man, who was diligently on his way, suddenly turned his head and was startled.
“…… Huh!”
Doouk-.
Dude-.
A woman covered in blood all over her body was glaring at herself without any measure of her popularity.
The long sword in her hand was a bonus.
The rickshaw man gulped.
He wasn’t just surprised that her opponent was covered in her blood.
It is said that he is a rickshaw puller due to the odd job of [Special express rickshaw man], But he was definitely a red-class unmanned man and he was familiar with blood.
‘I was standing right next to you, but I didn’t notice at all… ….’
If the opponent had struck the sword with the intent to kill, he would have died without knowing why.
…… Coriander!
The rickshaw man who came to that conclusion was very nervous, but apart from that, the woman calmly approached and got on top of her rickshaw.
Ttuktuk-. Blood pooled on the floor of the rickshaw, but the rickshaw man said nothing.
Then, one by one, the woman covered in blood disarmed her, and she said dryly.
“Run to Shaanxi.”
At that sound, the rickshaw man who originally planned to go to Heilongjiang looked at her father’s face.
No, even if you go back, you have to go through three castles in the middle of the island, right?
The rickshaw man wanted to ask if it would be better to take a plane, but…… ,
“Let’s leave soon.”
“…… Yes We will make you feel comfortable!”
For some reason, feeling that his head would be cut off if he climbed even a little bit, he drove a rickshaw to Shaanxi without saying a word.
Furthermore, the rickshaw man, worried that he might kill him for slowing down, ran as hard as he could.
“… ….”

Then, the woman muttered sadly as she watched the rapidly passing scenery.
“…… Where are you, Jinwoo?”
I’ll go get it soon.
