==[You have gained a level . ]==
"Whoa!
==[Your time in Khufu's Hidden Dungeon has come to an end . You will now be flung back out into the outside world . ]==
As soon as I shouted out when the level up alert came up, I was forced out of Khufu's hidden dungeon . I was literally thrown into the sand right outside the pyramid, but it didn't feel bad at all .
I just gained a whole lot in the span of a single month . I was so happy that if someone spat in my face right now, I would laugh and embrace that person .
"But damn, am I tired . " I did get to take short breaks now and then, but I didn't get to fully rest . I felt more exhausted now that I was done .
"I guess I can go to Cairo to rest up for now . " I cared more about my well-deserved break than about the Blood Prince or the Myth Guild . I headed straight for Cairo .
It was eerily quiet . All of the restaurants and storefronts were closed .
"What's going on? It wasn't like this a month ago . " I passed by more closed stores and motels until I ended up in Old Cairo . Here, there were devas walking around and motels and restaurants that were open . I headed to the biggest motel, booked a room and went up to take a shower before sleeping .
---
Late the next morning, I woke up to Shaman Ko's Roulette Wheel in front of me . It appeared at 11 AM without fail every day . If I didn't spin it at 11 one day, it still appeared the next . I wanted to find out what would happen if I missed a day and purposely did so while I was in Khufu's hidden dungeon . It allowed me to spin again the next day . I touched the wheel to let it spin and went to the bathroom to take a shower . A message appeared letting me know it landed on a 3, but I ignored it .
After my shower, I came out and sat on the bed .
"Haha… shall I see the fruit of my labors? Open Stats!"
[Name: Lee Jiwon
Level: 300 Death Count: 0
Title: Earth's First Deva

Strength: 6750+66 Agility: 4,700 Vitality: 3,799

Physical Attack: 22,215 Physical Defense: 6,944
Magical Attack: 6,341 Magical Defense: 5,682]
I had about 2,100 stat points unused, including the ones I got from Shaman Ko . My ATT also went up by 7,000 just by switching weapons . I decided to put the 93 Stat points into STR . I put 1250 of the normal points into STR ,as well to make it an even 8,000, and put 300 into AGI to set it to 5,000 . I put the remaining 350 into VIT .
It might seem like a waste of points when I already had high enough HP and VIT, and the Orb still collecting points, but from my experience as a fire mage, it was always good to have more HP . Besides, I had enough points to spare!
==[Strength: 8000+159 Agility: 5,000 Vitality: 3,749

Happy with my new Stats Menu, I left the motel and headed to a restaurant . It was time to pig out once more!

Back at the Myth Guild's headquarters in Old Cairo…
"I . . . I…I found him!"
Edwifu looked up from his desk and looked at the subordinate who just burst through his door .
"What? Found what? Did you find Lee Jiwon?!" Edwifu angrily asked . The entire guild combed through all of Cairo and Egypt looking for Lee Jiwon for a month, and now had one day left until the invasion .
Many of his fellow guild members gave up on looking for him, but Edwifu never gave up . He saw the extent of the man's abilities firsthand, and knew that he couldn't let him go . He had that much love and faith in his own guild .
"Yes sir! Him! I found him!"
"What? Really?"
"Yes, really!"
"Where?!" Edwifu shouted so loud that he almost tore his vocal chords .
"He's at Armin's, eating . "
"Huh?" Edwifu wasn't sure he heard correctly .
"Armin's? You mean, the same place I go to have lunch every day? The same place right outside our headquarters?"
"Yes! He's there right now!"
Edwifu wondered for a second if his subordinate was playing a prank on him . He practically flipped Egypt upside down looking for Lee Jiwon, and to hear that he was eating just a few steps away…
"I'm serious . Go check for yourself . The invasion is tomorrow; do you really think I'm playing here?" The subordinate saw the look on Edwifu's face . He had the same look when he saw Lee Jiwon earlier .
"O…okay!" Edwifu quickly snapped to . He decided it was best to see for himself before reporting to the guild master . He rushed over to Armin's, and there he was . He saw Lee Jiwon sitting at a table full of food, literally stuffing his face .
Edwifu promptly returned to his office and called Shin to let her know Lee Jiwon's whereabouts . She and Ebonene left together for the restaurant he was at .
The Myth Guild really needed a cat's paw to deal with the imminent attack from the Blood Prince . Some saw Lee Jiwon not as a cat's paw, but as a tiger's . They only had one day left now . They had to do everything they could to protect their home!
---
"Man, I really miss Korean food," I said to myself, as I took bite after bite .
I ordered taameya, kushri, fatta and other dishes, but they weren't really to my taste . They were still much better than Store bread and drink, however
"Huh?" There were plenty of people coming in and out of the restaurant, but all of a sudden, a group of uniformed people surrounded my table . I noticed the same insignia on their shoulders . They were from the Myth Guild .
"Nice to meet you, Mr . Lee . " Three of them stepped forward and one of them, a man in his thirties, spoke first .
"Yes, hi . You got the right person . " It was obvious they knew who I was, so I came clean .
I was strong enough now that I wasn't afraid of encountering the Blood Prince again . I knew that I might not win, but I wouldn't lose, either .
"We finally meet . It's so nice to meet you . My name is Rameha, in charge of the Myth Guild's foreign affairs . This is the Myth Guild's guild master, Shin and the vice-master, Ebonene . "
"Ah… I see . " I nodded at the introductions . I supposed I didn't need to do the same . Besides, it was obvious they wanted something from me .
"Would it be alright if you spared us a little bit of your time?"
"I am a bit busy…" I didn't really want to get mixed in with the Myth Guild's affairs . This guild was fated to be done away with by the Blood Prince .
"Please, it'll only take…"
"That's enough . I'll talk to him," Ebonene, the vice-master, cut in .
"Mr . Lee, a month ago, did you fight with someone in front of the Giza Pyramid dungeon?"
"I'm not too sure . " I decided to take an ambiguous approach . Of course, there were a lot of witnesses then and I couldn't take proper measures to conceal my identity .
"The man you fought against is known as the Blood Prince . " Ebonene completely disregarded my reply . He knew it was me .
" . . . "
"Soon, that man will begin his invasion and destruction of our Myth Guild . Well, it's much sooner . It's tomorrow . That is why we have been looking for someone strong to join our forces . "
"I'm not a member of the Myth Guild, nor do I have anything to do with the Myth Guild . "
"You are absolutely right . I'm sure you don't understand why we have come to you like this . You don't have a reason to help us . " Ebonene's expression didn't change one bit and agreed with me .
"Mhmm…"
"But that man is a deity . A being different than us devas since birth . Right now, his target is the Myth Guild, a guild that you have nothing to do with . But what do you think will happen when he gets even stronger than he is now?"
"I can't say for certain . "
"There is every chance he'll target devas and devrun guilds; devas and devrun guilds that you do have a relationship with . "
I thought back to my past life . The Blood Prince didn't discriminate . He was actually the worst and most vicious out of all deities . He killed devas and mortals if they so much as looked at him wrong . He was the reason deities were feared . Not all deities were like him, but from my memory, no deity ever wanted or tried to stop him . Why would they, when they became just as strong while he did all the work .
"If we don't stop him, there may come a time when all devas are oppressed and live as slaves to deities," said Rameha .
"We are not asking for your help for free . We are more than ready to compensate you for your efforts . At least think about it," Ebonene added . He then took out a card from inside his jacket .
"This card is a Myth Guild VIP card, usable anywhere in Cairo . Think of it as a free pass . Of course, should the Myth Guild fall, this card will become a useless piece of plastic . "
I didn't reach out to take it just yet .
"I'll also leave you with this report we have on the Blood Prince . If you don't need it, feel free to throw it away . There is exactly one day left before the Blood Prince invades the Myth Guild . If you decide to reject our offer, I advise you to leave not only Cairo, but Egypt itself . I predict there will be a bloody battle in the near future . "
"If you need to know more about the Blood Prince, come by any time . We're…right here . You'll be able to easily find us," Shin added . She turned around and left the restaurant with her guild members right behind her .
"Geez…" I fell into deep thought as I watched them leave . If they acted a bit clingier or really pressured me, I definitely would have rejected them outright but now, I was getting curious .
As I reached out to grab the report Ebonene left me, I noticed a familiar man sit down at the table next to me . The man looked over at me in surprise .
"Master!"
"Huh? You're from . . . "
---
"Are you sure we should just leave at that?" Shin asked Ebonene .
"Yes . It seems that there's something holding him back . If we come on too strong, we'll only push him away . It's better to have him make the choice on his own . "
"Very well . If that's what you think, then I'll go along with it . But the more important part here is . . . will he really choose to face the Blood Prince again?"
"He will . "
"How are you so sure? It didn't seem like he was that interested . "
"As I said, there's something holding him back . He's not fated to become a king, but he has the ambition . And he doesn't seem like an idiot . He'll make the right choice if we give him some time to think . "
"Think about what?"
"That eventually, the Blood Prince will be standing in his way to greatness . That it would be better to get rid of him while he has the chance . I planted the seeds, so it won't be long . Telling him any more will actually yield the opposite . "
"What?" Shin didn't understand how Ebonene was so confident . They barely shared many words with each other back at the restaurant, but Ebonene was acting as if he knew Lee Jiwon since long ago . If it were anyone other than Ebonene, Shin would have had a hard time believing him .
"Lee Jiwon will come find us soon . We just need show him our best hospitality . If he shows us more power than we expect… than we also need to think about recruiting him . "
They arrived back at their headquarters while listening to Ebonene's thoughts . It was only a minute away . They had looked tirelessly for Lee Jiwon for a month and yet, there he was, only a minute away .
The Myth Guild needed to make their preparations . There was less than a day left!
