Chapter 3

“Huh!”

A legendary grade skill card.

It is his first time to see a skill card like that.

“Did you just sell something like this on a stand in the first place?”

“What if someone steals it?!”

Jin-Woo asked the octopus man.

Instead of answering him, the octopus-man then asked him.

“What? Why are you so surprised after seeing an old sword?”

“Um …Yes?”

Jin-Woo quickly replied.

“It’s good to use, but at some point, it’s not because I’m wielding a knife. Ssangdo and Samdo are okay; Meat is good too.”

Meng-!

The Octopus man pulled out a knife for each of his six legs.

“What on earth?”

It is impossible if he wasn’t an octopus.

“That. That… … Can I see some?”

“See what? This?”

The octopus man held out the one he was holding on his first leg on the right.

[Yodo: Muramasa]

[Rating: Legendary]

[Description: Muramasa with a curse, if you can’t overcome the curse, don’t wield it.]

Again, it was a legend.

This isn’t the only one.

The lowest skill card on the board was the hero rating.

Those weapons that the octopus man holding are all legendary grades.

“Are you dreaming like this because you’re already dead and still have a regret?”

The octopus man asked Jin-Woo.

He then looked at the legendary grade card, Dokgogu Sword.

“Hum…!”

“Oh huh-!”

At that time, the octopus man closed Jinwoo’s mouth with a sucker leg.

He can smell that sea scent that came into his mouth.

“Are you an Earthling?.”

“How… …?”

“Well, I will explain that later…. If you calculate in won, for reference, that is an expensive one. Do you know?”

“gulp-!”

I swallowed dry saliva. (TL: If you know, you know.)

Even hero-level skill cards cost billions.

Legendary rating?

No matter what the octopus man charged, he could not pay the money.

Then the octopus man handed out the calculator.

“This is it.”

Said the merchant as he showed Jin-Woo what was on the calculator.

“Is this enough?”

Asked Jinwoo.

“Yes, is it expensive?”

The man replied.

“Really…Is this the price?”

Jin-Woo asked with surprise.

“Why? Do you not have money? I am sorry, I can’t bargain.”

The octopus man said firmly.

Expensive?

Bargaining?

I checked the price on the calculator once again.

‘1.5 million won?’

The number ‘1,500,000’ was displayed there.

‘What the hell is the economic concept here?!’

What should I think of this ridiculous price?

No, it wasn’t time to worry about it now.

“I’m sorry, I don’t have enough money, I’ll better leave now.”

Jin-Woo said.

“Wait! Do you have some money? All right, sold!”

“Huh? … But I told you, I don’t have enough cash …”

Jin-Woo exclaimed.

“It’s okay; you can also transfer accounts. Call your account number.”

“Now? Wait. What? Huh? Here? …Do you have access here?

He asked with confusion.

As the embarrassment continued, it was now adapting.

“375-0000-00000. This is the Bank of Korea.”

The octopus man pressed the button of the machine visible on the phone a few times and nodded.

“Transfer complete!”

Said the octopus man.

“That’s okay?”

“So, this is mine now?”

“Yes.”

“Wait…Really?”

“Oh, why? Excuse me, but I don’t allow refunds here.”

The octopus man said firmly again.

“Are you thinking that I am asking for any refund when I was trying to acquire a skill?”

‘Wait, if this isn’t a dream … Can I go back here and sell this? ‘

“If it is a legendary grade card, it is worth calling it literally,

But with that money, I was able to do whatever I wanted to do, not only paying my debt but also giving a good life for Sunwoo.

Then the octopus man said.

“For reference, it disappears after the entrance there.”

“Yes?”

“You mean, I can’t take it to Earth.”

“Ah…There will be such restrictions.”

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t help it. It was money, and I was able to earn this skill through the power of learning.

There was no hesitation.

“Accept.”

[Do you want to acquire a Dokgogu sword?]

[Caution–Skill card disappears when mastered.]

[Y / N]

The information window popped out one after another.

[Skill: Dokgogu Sword]

[You can use the original sword.]

You have a legendary grade skill.

* * *

It was good to have a legendary grade skill in hand. The only problem he had now was figuring out how to get home.

The answer was surprisingly easy.

“Return ball! Only 1 million won in Korean won!”

As he was in trouble, the octopus man said with a blue ball.

“If it’s a return ball… … Are there any marbles coming here?”

“Oh, you came through the old door. When you come, you can buy tickets, not marbles.”

“Do you sell the ticket?”

The octopus man pulled out the paper from the yukata.

“Here.”

Said the octopus man as he landed the ticket on the table.

The admission ticket is also 1 million won!”

In total, it is 2 million won.

Of course, it wasn’t a waste when I looked at the value of things.

The problem was that the money in the bankbook was now gone.

‘Don’t be afraid. It’s an investment now. If you can’t come back here, that’s more damage. ‘

“I need to leave now.”

The octopus man gave out the admission ticket and the return ball.

“Transfer complete.”

“Yes, does the admission ticket disappear?”

“Yes, the items that can be put in the inventory are not gone. Uh? Your entry time is over.”

“Yes?”

“I cannot see?”

The octopus man looked down in the direction of the man.

There was a clock from when it was there.

The gradually decreasing time left only one minute.

“If it goes to zero, you will die.”

The octopus man reminded him.

It was funny to see him trying to hit his neck with an octopus leg.

But his words weren’t funny, so he urgently lifted the ball.

“How do you use this?”

Jin-Woo asked.

“You can just say return.”

The octopus man answered.

“Return!”

Jin-Woo shouted.

Light came from the beads.

“See you again next time, little boy.”

“My name is Kang Jin-Woo!”

“If you come next time, please call me by my name. I will tell you my name then.”

Jin-Woo tried to answer back, but the light distracted him. It became more robust and bright that he had to close his eyes. When he re-opened his eyes again, he saw himself standing in a familiar park.

It was the park near his house.

“Um…”

When he saw the landscape of reality, something came back.

And he became suspicious.

“Skill window.”

He whispered. He was trembling to see if he had really learned the legendary skill list.

[Language Master]

Linguist, the original skill, is on the first list.

[Dokgogu Sword]

And the legendary skill Dokgogu Sword was underneath.

“Yes… … It was real.”

Jin-Woo looked down at his hand.

There was a ticket that was folded there.

“Haha… … haha… … .”

A miracle happened.

* * *

Yum-!

The password for the door lock was pressed.

Thump-!

He heard footsteps in the house.

Tirolong-!

As he opened the door lock, the door automatically opened.

Sun-Woo, with a messed face, greets him.

“… … Sun-woo! Why is your face like that?”

His eyes were swollen.

His hair was moist, and his face was full of oil as if he had not showered for days.

Sun-Woo came to him and started crying.

Jin-Woo couldn’t resist his tears from falling, upon seeing his brother crying.

After a while.

A little calmer, Sun-Woo told him an astonishing fact.

“The dungeon collapsed… … It’s been a week?”

He asked his brother, while still wondering.

“Yes, well, where have you been? It has been a week since you have been gone.”

Sun-Woo asked him.

He was only in that place for a few minutes, or maybe less than an hour, but here on Earth, a week had already passed.

‘Is the time base different? I could think so.’

He thought to himself.

“The police came here and said that my brother was dead. So, I … I know only that ..”

When the dungeon was destroyed, everything inside disappears.

That was common sense. The police weren’t wrong. If he hadn’t found the door, he would have died.

He calmed his younger brother and brought him into his room.

Jin-Woo went through his pocket, but couldn’t see his smartphone.

‘Did he drop it from the dungeon? It may have been.’

He sighed and then turned on the computer to confirm the date.

“It is really, it is. Sun-Woo was right.”

A week passed.

He accessed the portal site and searched for articles. It was quite a week ago, so there were few articles now.

[Guide A, missing with the demise of a dungeon]

He read the title of the article. The contents were mostly similar.

The last article said that the police concluded the investigation and that Guide A was dead.

“Dogs… ….”

They failed to catch the culprit.

The evidence disappeared with the dungeon, and guys were counting on it too.

‘If It had been before, I wouldn’t be able to … ….’

But not anymore.

He had a legendary grade skill.

“I must take revenge.”

For revenge, Jin-Woo held his sword.
