Chapter 2427 – 2427. Dark Moon

“It was a bit embarrassing, but it seems like the subspace magic was successful. “Let’s give it a try.”

Orcia said, putting on her glasses again. Does it seem like success in her eyes?

Here she couldn’t even get over her pretense. Originally, there was no need for her to help with subspace magic. All I ask of her is to teach me the basics of her space magic.

‘Inventory is a kind of spatial ability. Although it is not common, it is a special ability that definitely exists. It’s not something that needs to be hidden.’

In the end, I decided to tell Orcia. Honestly, I needed someone’s opinion as well.

“Orcia. The subspace magic seems to have been successful… It seems like it has degenerated into a supernatural ability.”

Her eyebrows are slightly wrinkled.

“That’s a random statement. Have you awakened this ability?”

“Okay. Subspace magic has been transformed into an ability called inventory. “They say you have to pay to use the inventory.”

“In the case of special abilities, there are cases where they are awakened by some kind of opportunity or medium, so it is not that surprising.”

“There are times when Lee Neung sends a hologram as a notification window. Is there something like this?”

“There are various cases of special abilities. The ability to give will to objects, the ability to give answers, etc. There is nothing to be surprised about no matter what kind of ability arises.”

I listened to Orcia’s words and glared at the notification window floating in the air.

‘Inventory. Does this tell you that this world is a game? In the original game, inventory could be used for free…’

Are there any other special functions in the inventory?

“I will go back and try. If you’re curious about this ability… It would be better to ask an expert other than me.”

Orcia spoke quickly. You don’t want to disturb me.

“For a moment. Just before I used subspace magic, the magic came out of my body. Do you remember that technique?”

“Don’t worry. I have no intention of stealing or researching your arcane arts. And the formulas were so confusing that I couldn’t understand anything about them. It seems like a very high level of arcane magic.”

“… Is it. See you next time.”

Orcia left.

I stood alone in the workshop, lost in thought. I was more concerned about the magic that came out of my body than my inventory.

‘I tried to implement it again, but I can’t remember the technique. Until now, I could understand and memorize most spells once I saw them. But this technique is different. Even if I see it, I don’t understand it. Even if I try to think of it, it doesn’t come to mind. Advanced arcane magic? I can understand even complex arcane magic techniques to some extent just by looking at them once. But I have no idea about this.’

What I suspect most is that the astral vision I learned is the cause. I don’t know exactly what the problem is.

‘No matter how much I think about it, I can’t find an answer. ‘Let’s put it off for now.’

I shifted my gaze to the inventory again.

“What do you want in return?”

[Anything that has value can be a price.]

I took a small chip out of my pocket. 10 million credits. Approximately 300 million won in Korean Won.

“How much is this in return?”

[The value of the item is insufficient. Inventory points cannot be obtained.]

“Are you saying 10 million credits aren’t enough? Or are you just looking at the value of the credit chip itself?”

I put the credit chip back in my pocket and took the gold.

Rich people like me don’t fully trust credit chips. The value of currency tends to fall for some reason, and credit chips are easy to track. So rich people exchange part of their wealth for something in kind, such as gold or jewels. There are quite a few people who turn it into a work of art or artifact.

“It’s a 100g gold sea. “How much is this worth?”

[You can obtain 10 inventory points.]

“Is it 1 point for 10g of gold? I’ll give it to you in return.”

[Please put the price in your inventory.]

A subspace opened in the air. It was a little suspicious, but subspace is subspace. When I put in the gold, a notification window appeared in the corner of my eye.

[Inventory points held: 10]

[In return for inventory use, 1 inventory point is deducted every 24 hours.]

10g of gold is 500,000 credits.

Considering that a commoner’s monthly salary is 100,000 credits… It was a terribly expensive price.

‘I wanted a convenient subspace, but I didn’t want a hippo that eats money.’

It should be worth the money you spend. I glared at the notification window with my eyes shining.

I experimented with various things.

Inventory points do not necessarily have to be gold, but you can also offer items such as artifacts in return. Although it feels like an exchange rather than an offering.

The important thing is whether it is worth using the inventory even if it costs money.

In conclusion, it was worth it.

‘The space of the inventory is much larger than ordinary subspace. Additionally, you can summon items in your inventory at once by consuming 1 inventory point. Reverse summoning is also possible. Also, just by putting damaged items in the inventory, they can be repaired.’

The most surprising thing is that existing items exist in the inventory.

‘I found out about it through the inventory search function. ‘This is not from this world.’

You can spend points to rent items that were in your inventory. The rental fee was different for each item.

I rented one of the items in my inventory.

Canned Cola.

It was a drink I enjoyed drinking in my past life.

Of course, there is cola in this world too, but the brand is different.

[Consumes 1 inventory point.]

I opened the can and drank cola.

“Cola… It tastes like cola.”

It was a coke worth 500,000 credits.

I paid 500,000 to drink a coke that didn’t even cost 100 credits. For no reason, I felt aggrieved by this enormous luxury.

‘The common people will be shocked, but… It’s not really a burden to me.’

The profits earned by LK Company through superconductor LK-99 are beyond imagination. This level of luxury is possible. The company is not fully established yet.

‘I guess I’ll have to do a little more research on the inventory.’

• • •

It’s been a while since I visited X Human Resources Center.

As soon as Rose saw me, she raised her eyes in surprise.

“What is the famous Chairman of LK doing here?”

“The company is not big enough to be called Chairman yet.”

“That too will be soon. If we don’t get superconductors in the market now, we’ll be left behind. So. What is the real purpose? Didn’t you give up mercenary work? Oh, are you here to save a mercenary?”

“I came to check if there was a good request.”

“… Do you want to work as a mercenary? Are you sane?”

Rose looked at me as if I was dumbfounded.

Usually mercenaries do mercenary work for money. The more risky the more money you gain. I made so much money that I didn’t have to work as a mercenary.

“My goal is not simply to make a lot of money.”

I was able to develop my sense of practical combat while working as a mercenary. To raise your level, practical experience is more important than talent.

“There are also things that can only be obtained through special requests.”

“… I don’t understand. A wizard is a wizard.”

In this world, wizards are weirdos. There was a prejudice that said. She didn’t bother to argue. It is true that more than half of the wizards in this world are strange people.

“Are there any nomination requests?”

“No. There are so many that it makes me vomit. What’s even more interesting is that they are all trap requests. “You’ll be attacked as soon as you leave the request location?”

It was expected. Because I have a monopoly on LK-99. Other companies will try to get their hands on the LK-99 somehow. It was clear that people doing illegal things would also turn a blind eye.

It’s okay in Neo London. The Magic Association and the Round Table Council protect me.

“Among them, there must be a good request.”

“It has to exist. But finding requests is also work. Do you know how much time and money it takes just to find out whether a request is a trap or not?”

“… It must be busy.”

“It’s not that busy. Even 2 or 3 bodies would not be enough. Let me give you some advice. “Forget the mercenary thing and focus on your business.”

“Business is a means. It’s not my purpose.”

“Is that so? If you want to work as a mercenary, create a new identity and start from scratch.”

“Not bad. “Can you help me create a new identity?”

“It’s not that difficult if you have the money. But you have to change your face, right?”

“There’s something good about it.”

I took out a luxurious black and blue cape coat from my inventory and put it on.

Merlin’s Numbers Artifact, No.6 Illusion.

[Absolute Polymorph]

When I used magic, my appearance changed. He is a man with long black hair and a pale face. I touched the corner of my mouth. As the fangs became longer, it became slightly uncomfortable.

I looked ahead and saw Rose looking at me with a shocked expression.

“Why are you doing that? Is this your first time seeing transformation magic?”

“The transformation magic is not at an ordinary level! Aren’t you surprised when the race itself has changed?! Moreover, it doesn’t seem like it’s just a trick… Something like the gloom unique to vampires. “I feel that way.”

“Since I’ve turned into someone other than human, I won’t be caught. Name is… It’s Eugene.”

“You’re just changing Eugene to French. But what… “I won’t get caught.”

He’s a vampire, not a human. When you look at me now, it is impossible based on common sense to think of Eugene Meyer, the president of LK.

I raised my right hand. Pale skin, sharp nails. It was awkward because I wasn’t used to it.

Open the Astral and activate the Mana Rod.

Unlike usual, the mana feels heavy and sticky. As I became a vampire, even the nature of my mana changed to some extent.

‘It’s not surprising because I knew it.’

Blood-red mana gathers on her palm and forms a magic circle. Some of my blood was also mixed into this magic circle. It was a characteristic of blood magic that used blood as a medium.

The reason I was transformed into a vampire is because of this blood magic and black magic.

‘You would think that would happen even if a vampire used black magic. In fact, vampires are familiar with black magic.’

I looked at the rotating magic circle and canceled it.

“Are you okay?”

“What do you mean?”

“No. It’s daytime now. “It’s common knowledge that vampires are weaker during the day.”

“No problem. “These days, vampires walk around easily during the day.”

The [Absolute Polymorph] Of the illusion must contain the genetic information of the target to be transformed. Vampire genetic information was easily purchased on the black market. Vampire blood can also be used as research material. I heard it was the blood of a vampire mercenary. A mercenary vampire who is active during the day.

I walked to the window and stretched out my hand as if to show off. Direct sunlight coming through the window hits the back of my hand.

Grumbling!

“Kaaaaak!”

My hands are on fire!

Startled, I quickly retreated.

When I got out of direct sunlight, the fire that was burning my hands disappeared. Vampire’s unique regenerative ability is activated and burns disappear quickly.

“This is crazy. Burns as soon as it hits direct sunlight? That’s Jinhyeol’s characteristic! How on earth did you become a true vampire?!”

“I-I don’t know either. Why is this so serious… ?”
