The World Turned into a Game After I Woke up Chapter 186

Chapter 186
Translator: Hunter Editor: RED We decided it was best that I take a week off . My family wanted me to stay in, and I needed the break as well . The four months I'd spent there was nothing compared to the four years I spent in imprisoned in the dream-place, but at least during those four years I slept . These past four months I had spent worrying about losing the Shaman Ko skill and stressing that I actually swallowed a small dungeon monster whole . One day, my mother came up to me "What should I cook for you today?" "As long as I have meat, anything is fine, I guess . " "You had pork yesterday, beef the day before, you want meat again today?" "Yeah, I want meat again today . " "Don't you get sick of eating beef and pork every day . . . ? Devas are truly weird . Okay, I will make you chicken today . " "As long as I get to eat as much as I want, anything is fine!" "Alright . " I had only ever rested by booking hotel rooms and lazing around . That was more than enough for me, but I now had an actual place to call home, and I got to eat home-cooked meals almost every day . I even liked how I had guards making sure I wasn't bothered . "Taking it easy like this every now and then isn't so bad . " I wanted to for the time being, if it weren't for the newcomer who was headed this way . "Yeah, I'm sure you are confused as I am . " I had spent some time thinking about what had happened during my break . Shaman Ko's Roulette Wheel was breaking, and had repaired itself on its own . The dungeon had also cleared on its own . "It has to be because of the Dungeon Mole . There's no other reason . " That much was obvious . There was nothing else in that dungeon besides me and the Dungeon Mole, and I had never really done much to trigger either of those events . "I assume you didn't expect this to happen, either . That's why you've come all the way here . " The moment I laid eyes on him, I knew he was my enemy, and I was his . But knowing that he came to my home on his own told me that this was an unprecedented problem for the Dungeon Creator . "Mana Conversion – Fire . Warrior's Brave Spirit . Howl of the Wolf . " ==[Mana Conversion – Fire Level 3 has been activated . ]== ==[Warrior's Brave Spirit Level 1 has been activated . ]== ==[Howl of the Wolf has been activated . ]== I got ready just in case things went south . I took out my Harrier from my inventory and propped it against a wall, while activating Judge's Gavel as well . "Ah, that's right . " I remembered the new item I received, and took out the Scroll of Predation . "Hmm… I can only target one person and can only use it once . " After getting this one a month ago, I had not received another one and only got the same 3 Stat points as always . "I should try it out now . It was thanks to you that I somehow got this anyway . " I ripped the Scroll of Predation . ==[You can now use Predation 1 . You can only use Predation on certain targets . After using Predation, you can use your target's abilities for 24 hours . After 24 hours, all abilities taken from your target will return to their original owner . If you do not use Predation on a target within 24 hours, you will lose the effects of the Scroll of Predation . ]== "Huh?" This was not the same Predation skill I knew about . This was also not the same Predation the Predator Duke had used on me . "This sounds closer to Possession . " This was more like borrowing someone's abilities for a day . "I mean, the Predator Duke did technically borrow his targets' abilities, it's just that he never returned them until he died . This is just not right . " I wasn't sure if this Predation was good or bad . I could only hold my target's abilities for a day, and it didn't even kill my target . I didn't have time to think about it, as the Dungeon Creator was now practically at my doorstep . --- "Hey, it has been a while . " I said lazily to the Dungeon Creator, who had appeared out of thin air in my room, as if I knew he was coming . "Security is pretty lax here," the Dungeon Creator replied . "Do understand . They're not that strong, but they are pretty overprotective of me," I said as I reached to the table next to me and picked up a bananflavored piece of candy . I was curious about what they tasted like, thanks to the Dungeon Mole . After trying them, I realized they weren't half bad . To be honest, it didn't really have much more meaning to it, but the Dungeon Creator frowned and glared at me . "So what brings you here? I doubt we're on speaking terms, I have a debt to pay as well . " "A debt . . . " "Yeah, it really was a fun party you sent me to . Thanks for inviting me and giving me one hell of a gift bag . I am a man of honor after all," I said with a small grin . --- Kazunari studied Lee Jiwon intently . He was being too calm, and the banana candy got on his nerves . -So Lee Jiwon did steal my Dungeon Mole!- It did make sense, since Kazunari had lost all ownership over the Dungeon Mole . -But how does he know that banana candies were its favorite?- Kazunari had only learned recently by coincidence that the Dungeon Mole preferred banana candies over anything else . Either way, Kazunari had come here ready to lay everything down, as long as it meant he could get his Dungeon Mole back . --- I wanted to grab the Harrier next to me and rush him, but I refrained from doing so, as I noticed that the Dungeon Creator was thinking about something . I was curious as to what he had to say, and I wanted to know why he even dared come here on his own . "Fine, then . I'll get straight to the point . " "By all means . " "I want my Dungeon Mole back . " I almost asked why he wanted it, but I took that moment to chew on the candy in my mouth instead . "Why should I?" "I'm not asking that you return it for free . I'll give you everything I have in return . " "Everything you have?" "That's right; everything . I have one Rank 9 item and 1,463,000,000 golden rings . I'll even hand over all of the assets I've been gathering all this time . " I almost choked . A billion golden rings were enticing enough, but he offered a Rank 9 item as well . Then again, I had no idea where the Dungeon Mole went . After I swallowed it whole, I never figured out what happened to it . But it seemed the Dungeon Creator knew it was with me . "Hmm…" I stroked my chin as if I was thinking about his offer . "Fine . " I was definitely going to pay him back by killing him once . A death penalty to a deity was crippling, to say the least . But now, I had a chance to get a Rank 9 item, and there was no way I was going to let that go . "But I'll take your payment first," I said, in case he wanted us to trade at the same time . He was the one who was sure I had the Dungeon Mole, after all . The Dungeon Creator just scoffed, however . "Do you trust me, Lee Jiwon? Because I don't trust you . " "Tsk . Then what do you suggest we do?" The Dungeon Creator took something out of his inventory . "This is a contract I got from the Troll Market . " I tried my best to not frown at what he had just said . The Dungeon Creator then ripped the contract in half, causing the halves to burn red and disappear . All that were left were letters in the air . "I, Kazunari, vow that if Lee Jiwon gives up possession of the Dungeon Mole to me, will pay him with a Rank 9 item, 1,463,000 golden rings and all of my assets at once . " The letters in the air reassembled themselves into what Kazunari said . "All that's left is your end of the agreement . " "Huh . This must have cost you a pretty penny . " This was a contract from the Troll Market . I didn't know the exact price, but I knew whatever came from there was extremely expensive . "It cost me 350,000,000 golden rings . " "Wow . You're pretty rich, aren't you? You should have given it to me instead . " "You're getting a Rank 9 item and 1 . 4 billion golden rings anyway, so what's the problem?" "That's true . " Yeah, if I did have the Dungeon Mole . I quietly raised my hand and pointed it at Kazunari . "Predation . " ==[Predation cannot be used on this target . ]== "What… what the hell are you doing?" Kazunari said, shocked at what I had just done . It wasn't like I had much of a choice . As much as I wanted everything Kazunari had to offer, signing that contract meant I had to fulfill the terms, no matter what . If I couldn't, then I had to pay him back five times his offer . That was the power of a Troll Market contract . "No… it can't be!" Kazunari grew from shocked to angry . "You don't have the Dungeon Mole!" "No, I don't . I wish I did," I said as I picked up my spear and charged at him . It was time to kill him . Yeah, I wanted his Rank 9 item, but what could I do? Not fulfilling those terms meant I had to fork over a Rank 10 item, and there was no way I could live with myself if I did that . "Lee Jiwon, you son of a bitch! What did you do to my Dungeon Mole?!" "How should I know?" I couldn't really say that I ate it . It wasn't really something to boast about . "Fuck! Teleport!" "Blink 1 . " It was only for a moment, but I had faced against him before and expected him to warp . I used Blink to get right where he shifted . "Multi-Teleport!" "Blink 2 . " I panicked for a second because I had to use my second Blink already, but it seemed that Kazunari couldn't Teleport again . "Gah!" My spear pierced him all the way through and stuck him to the ground . But he wasn't dead yet . "Ho ho?!" Only boss monsters had ever survived more than one hit from me . He really was one of the Five Monarchs, but that was all there was to it . "This… is bullshit!" I walked to stand over Kazunari as he raved . "Lee Jiwon, you son of a bitch!" "That's what I wanted to say to you . You're the one who started this shit . " I didn't even know his name . He wasn't as infamous as the Predator Duke and the Blood Prince, even during my past life . "I swear I won't ever forget this embarrassment!" "Good . Don't . I want you to suffer for the rest of your life . " I pulled my spear back out, before stabbing him again . Kazunari screamed out a final cry of pain before disappearing . At that moment, the guards patrolling the house burst into my room . "What's going on, young master!?" "It's nothing . I was just swatting an annoying fly that snuck in," I said . "It's taken care of, so you can get back to your rounds . " "Yes, sir!" The guards noticed the large new hole in my floor, but didn't mention it and left . "But where did the Dungeon Mole go?" I asked myself as I sat back down on my armchair . I know I ate it . "But what did he mean when he wanted me to give up ownership?" It had to mean that Kazunari had lost it, but I was pretty sure I didn't have it . "Ha… geez . " This was one hell of a mystery . I leaned back in my chair, reveling in the fact that I had easily taken out another member of the Monarchs, and closed my eyes, basking in the sun . -I like banana candies the most . - -Kyuu! Kyuu!- I must have really spent way too much time in the dungeon, because I swore I could occasionally hear its voice .
