Chapter 186 – Episode 178 Post-Womb RPG ~ Observation of Hope, Let’s Get Out of the Dungeon!

There is a chilling air inside the iron cage. A black rat passes inside with a squeak.

A corner of the prison with black shadows, not far from where the gray fur passed.

There, there was someone Umi had never expected.

Master, no… Kang Joo-hyuk has collapsed.

Umi, who was clinging to the bars and looking toward the other side of the prison, was speechless.

“Well, that can’t be…” Why Joo Hyuk… ?”

“Well… Perhaps Umihol used his final power when spitting out the flask…”

At Sua’s words, Umi sat down and thought deeply, then shook his chain and made a loud noise.

Since I don’t know what happened, the priority is to wake Joo Hyuk up.

Kikigeek. Kikigeek.

A loud sound like metal scraping.

Joo-hyuk frowned and opened his eyes.

“… Yes… This place… ? What? Huh? Go, jail?”

As soon as I open my eyes, a mouse squeaks again and passes by my bedside. Joo-hyuk lifted his head in surprise.

“Woah! What is this!”

“Joo Hyuk!”

Hearing Woo-mi’s cries, Joo-hyuk turned his eyes to the prison where Woo-mi was imprisoned.

“Daintiness… ? “What is that outfit?”

The first touching words he said to Umi, whom he met for the first time in another world… It was a point about clothing.

But it was a valid point.

This is because the clothes Umi was wearing did not cover the part that was supposed to be covered at all and instead exposed her trembling uterus.

Joo-hyuk quickly turned his head at the sight of such a vulgar appearance that even talking about clothes was a luxury.

“… What happened? “I was waiting for you in my room, thinking you would come after defeating the monster.”

“… In your own room?”

Su-ah’s eyebrows twitch. At the same time, small goosebumps appeared on the back of Umi’s neck.

I remember the promise I made to visit Joo-hyuk right before falling into another world.

Okay. A 3P meeting with Umihole was scheduled for that evening.

But the current Umihole…

Umi lowered her head.

It feels like my heart is being stabbed, but Joo-hyuk beats me before he can say anything.

“Now, wait a minute, Joohyuk? That’s not important now… “

After pondering over what Joo-hyuk had said, Woo-mi realized the meaning of what Joo-hyuk had said.

“I was waiting… When did that happen? That means… Joo-hyuk, are you saying that time did not pass in the real world where you are?”

“?! What do you mean, the real world?”

“… !!”

I also don’t know anything.

Umi briefly talked about how she came to the world of Alchemic RPG.

“Here… A world of gaming fantasy?”

“It’s the final ability of the homunculus we faced that evening. That guy… “I thought they were doing it on purpose, so they made us come to this place.”

“… Wait. “It’s so sudden that I don’t really understand.”

This is a completely unexpected development for Joo-hyuk, who was waiting for the magical girl’s battle to conclude safely.

Joo-hyuk turned his back to me so as not to be conscious of Woo-mi’s shaking uterus and spoke.

“… So what happened to everyone else? Why are we in prison?”

“Other magical girls have scattered here and there. I was able to meet Naru and Sua, who were the sixth magical girls, but the situation was not good…”

“What about Umi Hall?”

Woo-mi’s words are cut off by Joo-hyuk’s words.

I hesitate. As she tries to speak, she hesitates again.

“Wumi Hall… “Not anymore.”

Then, Su-a spoke on behalf of Umi, who could not control her emotions.

Joo Hyuk turned his head with an expression that said he did not understand.

“Yes? Wait a minute, what does that mean? I understand well that there is no Umihole…”

“Wumi Hall was different from us. “He appeared as a monster, not as a player.”

Su-ah revives her memories that lasted less than an hour,

She explained what happened to Umi Hall and how she ended up in prison.

“…”

“It must have been Umihole’s ultimate ability that brought Joo Hyuk here. Other than that… “I can’t think of a way to interfere with reality in this world.”

“Umihole…”

Joo-hyuk swallowed his sleep and looked toward Woo-mi.

“… Can we hear the story from the beginning? Umi and Suah… “What has happened since I came here?”

Joo-hyuk heard the entire story from Woo-mi and Su-ah.

Starting with Umi struggling with slime, being dragged around naked in the middle of her market and being humiliated in various ways.

As I was treated as a demon by a monster called Pink Worm, my reputation was lowered here and there… She suffered various abuses in her womb.

… When she thought back, she really never received any good treatment when she came here.

The more I talked, the more sorrow I felt. Umi belatedly realized that her tears were her own.

“Daintiness… “You really worked hard.”

“Huh, huh… Big, big… Nana… !”

Joo-hyuk, who was looking down at Woo-mi, rolled his head to comfort her.

“… But I don’t think she can conclude that Umi Hall is really dead.”

“… “What?”

At Joo-hyuk’s words, Woo-mi wiped away her snot and asked back.

“On what basis?”

“What can I say… “Compared to the ending abilities used by other monsters, this one seems to be quite large-scale.”

Joo-hyuk spread his fingers and closed them as he examined each case.

“Umi, the ability to turn back the time you experienced by about 10 minutes, or the ability to take over the body of another person who took Umi’s hole. And… It’s Umihol’s ability to call me here. Each one is powerful enough to ‘change the world’… Creating another world that recreates alchemic fantasy has a different scale. “It’s too big.”

Joo-hyuk said that and took out the smartphone in his pocket and showed it.

In the center of the screen,

It has not been long since Umi and other magical girls fell into the world of alchemic fantasy.

“As I said, in the real world where I was, the perspective did not flow as much as what you, Umi, and Su-ah said. This… Wouldn’t it be okay to say that what happens in the RPG world doesn’t affect reality?”

“… That… Then?!”

“So, you guys in the real world… Still at the top of Sacheong Mountain, I am still lying on the floor of my room… “This may be a space similar to the metaverse.”

Joo-hyuk made eye contact with Woo-mi as he said that.

“So, Umihol in the real world may not be dead. If I clear the game and get out of here… I might be able to meet Umihole again.”

There is no basis. But Joo-hyuk wanted to do whatever it took to calm Woo-mi’s mind.

It may be that Joo-hyuk simply wants Umihol to be alive.

“So let’s defeat the damn demon lord or the homunculus and get out of this game world.”

“Yes… !”

Those words alone were enough for Umi.

***

“Shit… !”

A dull sound echo. However, the solid iron bars do not even have scratches. Joo-hyuk grabbed his feet and sat down.

Joo-hyuk shook the iron bars to check his condition and sighed.

“Anyway, if that’s what you said, you can’t just sit here and die.”

Umi nodded at his words.

Umihol’s sacrifice is sad, but the situation does not get better by sitting quietly in prison and being sad.

If this continues, a terrifying three-stage purification ritual awaits…

Joo Hyuk, who came out of Pink Worm, will also be questioned.

We have to find a way to escape somehow.

“I am indeed. “This is my first time being locked in something like a prison.”

Joo-hyuk muttered, reaching toward the keyhole that locked his bars.

When I heard that I had entered the gaming fantasy world, I was a little excited… Nothing was given to him.

I tried calling out the status window as Umi said, but maybe it was because I didn’t come in as a player. Nothing appeared.

There are no skills or fancy magic. Both here and in the real world, Joo Hyuk was just an ordinary person.

“You’re in prison to begin with. It’s the worst. If this is in the game, shouldn’t they at least give us a lock pick?”

At Joo-hyuk’s grunting words, Woo-mi said, “Ah,” And turned her head toward Su-a.

“Soo-ah. How about using magic to create arms? “I thought if I hung the key at the exit at the end of the hallway, I might be able to escape with it.”

“You mean [Magical Obsession]? Great… “I’ll give it a try.”

With Suah’s skills, two arms appear beyond the iron bars.

As Su-ah intended, her arms wiggled their fingers and disappeared beyond her sight. Su-ah concentrated and traced the dungeon with only the feel of her fingers.

The arms that had been tracing the walls for a long time, relying solely on their sense of touch, returned to the front of the bars without any results.

“… I guess I didn’t do such an obvious thing. There seems to be a door beyond the hallway used to go up, but it seems to be locked with a key as well.”

“That…”

When Su-a’s skills yielded no results, Umi opened her status window to see if there was anything that could help.

And then… The skill status in the status window caught my eye.

Because of the urgent situation, she forgot for a while.

[Status: Six Slave Estrus (on hold) / Magical Swadhishthana – Duration 2 minutes]

“… Huh… !”

Perhaps because he was knocked out due to respawn, Swadhishthana’s duration lasted less than 5 minutes.

Woomi tapped on her iron bars, attracting Joo-hyuk’s attention.

“Joo, Joo Hyuk!”

“… Why?”

“… Well, you know… ! Not long left… !”

Joo-hyuk tilted his head at Woo-mi’s words.

“… “What?”

Is it really necessary to let him speak for himself? Umi shouted, shaking her cage with her face red.

“Me… Wow, I think I’m going to get horny!!”
