Chapter 482 – Outbound Earth (22)
“—Hey!”
A beautiful woman in a cosplay costume swung her weapon in her hand while making a cute noise. What she held in her hand was a magic tool made by Fantasia, and like a magic tool that costs hundreds of millions of won per piece, it shattered the monster’s head in an instant.
The monster whose head exploded was immediately transformed into a magic stone and disappeared without leaving a single piece of the body.
Beauty saw the magic stone dropped by the monster she had defeated and started running wildly.
“Oh yea! One point, right?”
The cameraman nods at her, and Beauty continues on her way inside. When she encounters a monster, she shows a little service scene and fights off her monster while sweating.
This seemingly risky task was actually not risky at all. There are more than a dozen professional hunters roaming around here regularly cleaning monsters, so the performers meet one at a time. It was only weak monsters that could never penetrate the magic tool’s shield.
The cast knows this, but they do their best to stage and act out the crisis.
“Another one, get!”
It was a scene from Monster Hunter, a popular variety show these days. Realizing that some hunter YouTubers are making a lot of money with views, the broadcasting station got into the hunter industry in earnest.
Watching this broadcast, which is no different from a modern sword fight, people feel catharsis. Scenes of bloodshed that cannot be easily seen in modern times.
Bloody videos put stress on viewers. At the same time, viewers realize that they are in a safe place and receive mental rewards that are inversely proportional to stress.
If you fall into this bondage of stress and reward once, the rest is no different from a swamp. Like gambling addicts, they fall into a trap from which they cannot escape.
“Kyaaaaa-!”
And the cast members, who suffered from the staged ambush, scream and fall under the monsters. Her terrified face really seemed to be in danger of her life, but she immediately activated her magic tool and threw her monster away.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha…”
After sending the monster away, he groaned lightly. The company logo engraved on the magic tool is clearly visible.
Koo Woo-wook – By the time Fantasia’s logo is imprinted in the eyes of the viewers, they are relieved as they grab the necklace.
“Fah, I would have died if it wasn’t for Fantasia…”
Thinking that she had captured the public sentiment of advertisers with this, she started exploring the dungeon again.
Yes. The present era has reached the era of the great hunter.

Haha-! Warren Buffett? Elon Musk? Fuck you yeah! Another world coin Gazua!”
Deok-gu, who was sitting as the president of Fantasia, exclaimed when he saw the daily sales. An amount that ordinary people can barely catch up with in their lifetime is stamped into their bank accounts once every second.
He was a deokgu who thought he was free from money, but he couldn’t calm down in front of this much money. He’s not kidding, isn’t it an amount that could buy an entire company that everyone in the country knows about?
“Do Jin-ah, should I buy a yacht first? Or a private jet? Oh, should we start building in Seoul!?”
“Do as you will.”
“Oohhhhh-! So, first, get on a private plane and start from Akihabara…”
Leaving behind Deok-gu, who was already preparing to spend money, Do-jin sat still and looked out the window.
‘I’m sure he’ll come soon to play tricks.’
Fantasia, a company founded by Dojin, made a lot of money.
Earned a lot.
Even though I know that there is a huge country called the United States behind it, I made an impossible amount of money without a dung fly sticking to me to pick up and eat beans.
He will definitely come to do something. Dojin was waiting for that.
Smart-.
“Come in.”
“President? Director? A guest has arrived.”
“Oh, already?”
At the secretary’s words, Deok-gu jumped up from his seat and headed to the drawing room. Dojin followed him. Today was the day of negotiations with companies from abroad.
Fantasia’s magical tools were first sold in Korea, then in the United States.
The vested interests of each country, who had directly confirmed the performance of magic tools and other additional benefits generated by them, tried to import the magic tools into their countries somehow, and sent large companies from their countries to conduct negotiations.
“Well, nice to meet you. Everyone.”
“Oh, you learned French…”
“Yes? What is that… That person just spoke Japanese…”
“It sounds Russian.”
The room was enchanted with translation, and those in the negotiating table found that their words were translated automatically.
And at the same time—I fully realized the value of that magic. The language barrier was the biggest barrier separating humanity, but now it can be broken down.
“As you can see, this is a thing called translation magic. It is a new product from our Fantasia company.”
“Hyo, the effect? Is it perfectly translatable in any language!?”
“Unfortunately, I can’t read and write, but I can speak and listen perfectly. Archaic words that have already disappeared from the world, even self-made words created by a boy alone in the corner of a room – anything can be interpreted as long as the meaning exists.”
People who heard Deokgu’s words exclaimed. Liberation of language. Because I didn’t know I could see it like this.
“Sah, the product quality? Can you put this translation magic into a magic tool?”
However, since nothing can be perfect—the negotiators were worried that this magic could only be used after being prepared in a large room.
But Deokgu smiled and nodded his head.
“Of course. You can apply translation magic to earphones the size of AirPods. Of course, I still lack the skills, so I have to apply the speaking and listening magic separately, so I have to buy a set of two…”
“Rather good. If you lose even one, you will have to buy it again.”
People said that and burst into laughter. However, behind that smile, a cold-hearted fight ensued.
Who gets this skill first? Because that was the only way to keep up with the world situation.
‘We first…’
‘We…’
‘Somehow to Russia…’
“Now, shall we check the preferential conditions first?”
Deokgu smiled and continued the negotiations. He makes use of his career in managing a guild in another world. Whatever it was, I was able to do it at the level that others would say go away.
He is extremely weak when he is Eul, but when he is A, his nose soars without knowing how high it is because it was Deokgu.
* * *
After the negotiations ended safely, Do-jin got into the car and headed home. He was quicker to teleport, but he had no choice but to hire a car and a driver when he was told that the economy wouldn’t cycle unless rich people like them spent money like this.
While riding in the car led by the driver, Do-jin, who was caught at a signal, glanced at the vehicle next to him.
The door of the car went down, and the man inside pulled out a Japanese sword and pointed it at Dojin.
‘… What is he again?’
This is a bulletproof vehicle—without having to say that, the surrounding environment suddenly changes. Not in the car where Dojin was sitting, but in a very small island where the sea can be seen everywhere.
Do-jin, who realized that it was some kind of ability, immediately raised his magic power and tried to break his ability, but realized that his magic power was sealed.
‘What is this again?’
I could break it with force, but I couldn’t move it naturally like I normally breathe. Blocking the magical power of Do-jin, who had the level of mana control that could be called a god, meant that the potential of this ability was very outstanding.
Shoot ah- shoot ah-.
Far away, a small ferryboat rowing its way to the island. Dojin smiled at the person standing on the boat and looking at him.
“——Sasaki Koujiro, as promised, I have come to the duel.”
“Sasaki… What?”
“I won’t say that I forgot this body, Miyamoto Musashi.”
Musashi jumped off the ship and said that while drawing his sword. Only then did Do-jin realize that he had a sword gripped at his waist and that he had to pull out this sword and overcome the opponent.
In the process, neither he nor the opponent could use magic. A high-risk, high-return technique in which you must subdue your opponent entirely with swordsmanship.
‘Because of this ability…’
Indeed, only then did Dojin know why his magic was sealed. An ability that is subject to this kind of restriction is bound to have as good a performance as that restriction.
If he were a normal person, he probably couldn’t adapt to this situation where he lost his magical power, and he would have been cut down by Musashi and lost his life.
Yes, if it was a normal ability person.
“Goes.”
Saying that, Miyamoto Musashi raised his sword and charged. Do-jin, who looked at the figure gently, stabbed his sword lightly.
There might be a way to use mana to break this ability with overwhelming force and subdue Musashi—but that’s not fun.
Whirik – The sword lightly wraps around Musashi’s sword and sends it flying away. Without time to do anything, Musashi, who was disarmed in an instant, looked at Dojin with an expression of disbelief.
Dojin grinned at Musashi, who had lost his sword.
“What are you doing?”
“Uh, what…”
“Pick it up.”
As for this type of person, he had to be smashed in a field he firmly believes in.
He believed in swordsmanship and did this, but unfortunately, swordsmanship was also the field Dojin was most confident in.
‘If my father had abilities like this, there would be no answer.’
Of course, it was just such an ability for a listener who had never heard of such a name.
