I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 44

Episode 044

“No. “I’m not interested.”

I’m serious.

I have already acquired more than enough items in Guam.

If I sell it to the hunter market and make enough money to make items that I will never be able to use in my lifetime, I will be able to make a quantity of potions or scrolls that would be difficult to use up on my own.

Unlike the time I harvested Evitanis in the Kergis dungeon, I fully enjoyed the benefits of my gathering passive skill in the Guam dungeon.

I killed and looted so many monsters that I couldn’t even count them all.

Plants are more.

I collected so much that I experienced confusion about whether I was a farmer or a hunter.

The location changes every time you enter, so if I had only collected from one location, there would have been a few bare mountains.

Moreover, while collecting, I was able to understand my skills in more detail.

Because of the unfriendly skill description of ‘best gathering’, I was not able to clearly understand the criteria, but this time, after collecting a lot of things, I became clear.

I always took the term “best collection” to mean a promise of an S-class core.

However, this time when I collected large quantities, I was surprisingly able to obtain Class A cores.

Most such nuclei were collected from shorter garnid trees or other less mature plant species.

If you think about it, the highest grade of the by-products I get other than the core and magic stone is A grade, not S grade.

Looking at it, the effect of my skill is closer to maximizing the potential of the collected items rather than fixing the grade to S grade.

In addition, there were times when some monsters gave 12 claws instead of 16 each.

Most of those monsters were monsters whose arms or legs had disappeared from my Chungwangpo.

This means that the part that is in a non-recoverable state due to my attack will not be converted into an item.

If other people only get a few percent of the by-products, good or bad, from monsters, I feel like I am sweeping them all in the best condition I can get.

There were cases where the by-products were grade B instead of grade A, and that was when the monster’s body was damaged.

Even with the best harvesting, it is impossible to collect claws from missing parts, so if there is at least a body part left, try to extract it as much as possible.

Well, it feels like this.

– Sheesh.

“What is it? How difficult was it during the special training in Guam? Special training is now a requirement. And I have somewhere to go today.”

– where?

“A shaman’s house.”

– Have you given up on that yet?

Since there are no reporters to visit and no company to go to, my life is quite leisurely.

For that reason, I decided to restart the Seojihan Buddhahood Project.

“What if I give up? Isn’t it scary? Aren’t you anxious? “When I die, I might have to stay in that soul stone forever, right?”

– Well, it’ll work out somehow. What about you? Everyone dies anyway, so why not worry about yourself?

“I’m going to heaven, right?”

– what?

“I lived a good life.”

Seo Ji-han seemed at a loss for words at my confident attitude.

what. why. what.

I lived a good life. I have never done much harm to another person in my life.

– He may seem timid, but he is also shameless and unpredictable.

“I can hear everything.”

I answered roughly and slung the bag over my shoulder.

Since I was able to use inventory, I no longer need to carry a bag, but I feel empty when I don’t carry anything, perhaps because of habit.

After getting ready to go out, I caught a taxi and headed to the address the conductor gave me.

Since I can’t ride a taxi forever, I need to get a driver’s license soon.

I need to buy a car too.

The shaman’s house was not far from the new house.

I turned around a narrow alley, typical of an old residential area, and came across a house that looked like a family home.

I wondered if I had come to the wrong place, but when I saw ‘Cheonji Shinnyeo’ written on the front door, I thought I was in the right place.

– I really live, live, live….

Today too, Seo Ji-han, who was very dissatisfied, was saying things like ‘This is all a scam’ or ‘It’s a useless effort’ with a sulky face.

“Try to be quiet. “What are you going to do if the shaman here hears everything?”

– It’s a scam.

As I went inside, a woman with dark makeup and messy hair glared at me and gestured.

Even at first glance, she is a shaman herself.

“Oh hello? “I made a reservation today…”

I said hello awkwardly, but she went inside without waiting. She

just made a subtle gesture as if to ask me to come in.

It must be a miracle that she recognized me as a guest.

“Wow, something seems real . Don’t you?”

– They say it’s a show to suppress the momentum. It’s all fake.

Contrary to Seo Ji-han’s confidence, as soon as he went inside and sat down, the shaman’s first words were,

“It’s a man’s problem, right?”

“Wow! How did you know?”

– She just threw it.

I didn’t say anything, but she guessed it right away.

I guess she was a truly magical shaman.

When I was startled, she just looked at me and glared next to me. That

was exactly where Seo Ji-han was sitting.

” “A very toxic person caught me.”

“yes?”

“He died without being able to love. “It’s going to stick to you and never let go?”

Have you ever been in a Seojihan relationship?

So handsome?

When I turned around with my mouth wide open, Seo Ji-han’s face turned red and he waved his hand.

– No, no!

“You’ve never been in a relationship.”

– no! Because it’s a scam. All of that is nonsense!

His complexion was too bright red to believe what he said.

I left Seo Ji-han, who was self-destructing, and sat closer to the shaman.

“What should I do?”

“I don’t think I came here because I wanted to get rid of it. I’m not the type of person who will get separated if I get rid of it. Just live. It won’t harm me.”

“But…”

“It will be resolved on its own when the time comes.”

Does this mean that he will attain Buddhahood on his own?

Still, it is a bit disappointing to come this far and then end up like this.

As if reading my mind, the shaman nodded.

“If you don’t feel like leaving, would you like me to read your fortune?”

Wow, what is it? It’s really amazing.

“Yes, yes!”

In response to my answer, the shaman sprinkled rice grains on the table.

I asked to look at it, but deep down I thought that nothing bad would happen. The only

path ahead for me would be to scatter the large amount of money in my inventory and live in peace and comfort.

So, I was a little surprised when I heard the fortune telling .

“Good luck!” “I’m going.”

“Are you having trouble?”

“It’s hard work, but it’s a path I can’t avoid. Well, the end seems to be okay.”

Trouble?

What do I have to suffer in the future?

No matter how much I think about it, nothing comes to mind.

“Now go. There’s nothing more I can do for you. Bokchae costs 100,000 won. If you need anything more, can you at least use an amulet to ward off evil? “It’s not particularly bad luck.”

“Huh? No. The amulet is fine.”

It’s a bit sad that it’s already over, but I’ve heard everything I was curious about.

Hard work.

What on earth are you going through?

I was thinking about it and taking out my wallet from my bag, but suddenly there was an item that caught my eye.

A curse doll worth 50,000 won.

It’s a curse doll made of straw.

Strangely, it keeps catching my eye.

The shaman must have noticed my gaze and took one out and held it out to me.

I took it without realizing it, and it felt really good in my hand.

“You look like you need it, so buy one. I made it.”

“I can use the cursed doll somewhere,”

I thought, but then a person came to mind.

That unlucky person in charge of recruiting the Sky Guild.

Hmm, I don’t want to poke at the doll while thinking about that person, but I’m still a little attracted to the doll itself.

It’s cute, too

. I guess I’ll buy it.

In the end, I bought a cursed doll and returned home.

I put the doll on the table, ate dinner, watched TV, and before I knew it, it was time to go to bed.

But I watched a few more scary movies with Seo Ji-han and got teased by him. I didn’t fall asleep until well after 12 o’clock.

Since I was unemployed and had nothing to do anyway, I didn’t mind going to bed late and waking up late. Usually, if I fall asleep

like that, I wake up around lunch or after lunch, but when I woke up, it was still midnight.

It was 4 a.m.

Did you sleep for about an hour?

Why did it have to be 4 o’clock again? Uncomfortable… Did

you wake up because you wanted to go to the bathroom?

Or water?

I don’t think it was both, but since I woke up, I had to drink water and go to the bathroom.

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. Suddenly, I felt strange.

Something was different from usual.

Suddenly, I felt a chill down my spine.

Where did Seo Ji-han go?

“Mr. Seo Ji-han? Where did you go?”

Come to think of it, where did I put the soul stone?

I usually sleep with it by my bedside.

Thanks to that, I always saw Seo Ji-han when I opened my eyes, but now I couldn’t see where he had gone.

Feeling anxious, I hurried out of the room and froze when I saw the creepy scene. Attached.

Cursed doll.

The cursed doll, which had clearly been placed on the living room table, was standing tall on both feet in front of the window, looking at me.

Thanks to the dim dawn light coming in from beyond the window, the doll that looked cute during the day only looked grotesque.

What. What is it? .What is this?

What is this

? “What…”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t speak properly.

Meanwhile, something even more surreal happened.

The straw doll made a rustling sound and walked a few steps towards me.

“Off…” I

was on the verge of screaming in panic when the straw doll raised one arm and took a posture as if it was greeting me.

And at the same time, I heard a familiar voice.

– Don’t be surprised for a moment. It’s me.
