Chapter 5

Chapter 5

All that could be seen around were sand, rocks, and a grayish sea.

“....Where is this?”

The people around me were already confused and bewildered.

Certainly, who would have expected to suddenly be thrown to a remote place like this?

Except for me, of course.

“That damn instructor....”

The Blond haired punk next to me was biting his lip and looking around.

Oh, is he observing the surroundings like a hero candidate?

“Damn it! Why isn’t the internet working!”

... It seemed like he was complaining because the internet wasn’t working.

There were a few others who seemed to be seriously observing where we were, but I was able to infer about this place by examining the angle of the sun that was rising and the fact that the color of the surrounding sea was a dark gray.

‘It’s the West Sea.’

More precisely, it’s a remote island in the West Sea, a little away from the Korean Peninsula.

It was a random event that occasionally appeared during the first class of the academy.

At the same time, the sound of a smartphone alarm rang out.

[Main Story Open]

[You, who will become the Emperor of the Underworld, must first engrave your power! Make your fellow students respect or fear you!]

[Target: 0/10]

‘...The main story?’

I had a clue. The focus of the CS ending was on living the character’s life.

And what this main story referred to was becoming the Emperor of the Underworld.

If I followed the main story, I would surely find some clues.

“Hey, you there.”

While I was thinking about that, the Blond-haired punk suddenly came up to me with a smirk on his face.

“Why are you looking at such a boring dictionary on your phone at a time like this? Is there something written about how to survive on a deserted island or something?”

He muttered something like that after looking at my smartphone. A dictionary?

“Do you think this is a dictionary?”

“Then what is it, a scholarly journal? You’re so calm looking at something like that at a time like this. Hey, don’t look at that useless thing and let me give you some important information...”

The guy spoke and smiled wickedly.

“Information?”

As I asked in confusion, the guy smirked.

“Yeah! Information. I saw those rocks over there before. I remember seeing them in the West Sea. So, this is the West Sea!”

It was information that I already knew.

By the way, that crazy instructor sent the students all the way to the West Sea and told them to come back by 4 pm.

It was even more absurd when it actually happened.

“But, you know, I’m from Incheon, so I know quite a few people around the West Sea. You seem like a guy with some money from what I saw earlier. How about it?”

What nonsense was this guy spouting?

“1 million credits. If you give me 1 million credits, I’ll take you with me. Well, even 1,000 dollars is okay. I don’t get much from it, as I have to give some money to those fishermen. Look over there.”

He then pointed to one side of the island, where other guys were gathered, having a strange meeting.

“Don’t you want to join them? If you ride with me on the boat, you can still make it to the academy by 4 pm, even if we’re a little late. It’ll be very comfortable.”

I responded calmly to the guy who spoke like that

“You. What’s your name?”

“Huh? Name? Bevalt Jin-woo. Bevalt is my surname. Oh, are you asking because that instructor lady told you to introduce yourself?”

Bevalt Jin-woo. I thought he wasn’t Korean from the looks of it, but he seemed to be a Korean immigrant like me. And if his surname is Bevalt...

“Are you by any chance from the ‘Family’?”

When I asked nonchalantly, he widened his eyes in surprise and then patted my back.

“What’s this? I thought you looked mixed race, but you’re also ‘one of us’? Then we can understand each other. That’s right, I’m part of the ‘Bevalt Family’ under Corleone. This might work out better than I thought, huh?”

In that case, the “Fishermen” he mentioned earlier were probably related to Corleone.

As I was thinking that, he put his hand around my shoulder and said, “If you’re one of us, it’s better to please me, right? Who knows, I might even make a spot for you? Kukhahaha!!”

I casually shook off his arm and moved my steps to where the other students were gathering.

“Oh, are you here to help too?”

As I approached, the guy with glasses who was supervising the others spoke to me.

“Just curious about what the plan is.”

He laughed slyly at my words.

“If you listen, you’ll definitely be satisfied. You know this is an uninhabited island located in the West Sea, right?”

I nodded my head.

“Fortunately, the person here knows a little bit of spatial magic,” said the glasses-wearing person, looking at the girl who lowered her head shyly.

“Just a little... Oh! I’m Kim Se-ah.”

I replied with what was on her name tag, feeling there was no need to give my full name.

After briefly exchanging greetings, I asked the glasses-wearing person again, and they continued speaking.

“According to Se-ah here, if we had a magic stone to supplement our lacking mana, we could return to where we came from. However, the problem is...”

“How do we get the magic stone on this deserted island?” I interjected.

“Exactly. The problem is how to acquire the magic stone. If we had it, we could all return by 4 p.m.,” said the glasses-wearing person in a somewhat serious tone.

At the same time, three people came running from the other side, shouting, “There’s a dungeon here with goblins!”

“A dungeon? Wait, if it’s a dungeon, we might be able to find a magic stone... Did the Instructor Ji Soo-hyun think of this too?”

An excited smile spread across the glasses-wearing woman’s face, perhaps feeling a glimmer of hope upon hearing that a dungeon where they could obtain a magic stone had been discovered.

And I, too, couldn’t help but smile upon hearing that a dungeon had been found.

Goblins were monsters that signaled the start of an adventure and allowed one to experience their own abilities.

So, how much of my strength could I really wield now?

Amidst the growing excitement, the story had finally begun.

In front of the Corleone mansion, at the smoking area, Don Vito Corleone’s right-hand man, Parnello, and other members of the organization were gathered chatting.

-Sigh.

Parnello let out a sigh, which was unusual for him.

One of the members asked, “Is the great Mr. Parnello worried about the Young Master?”

Parnello lifted his head slightly at the member’s words and exhaled smoke from his cigarette.

“You can tell?”

“Isn’t that obvious? It’s written all over your face that you’re worried about the Young Master.”

The other members began to laugh at the member’s words, and Parnello joined in, caught up in the atmosphere.

The goblin screamed and was pinned to the wall. I then forcefully slammed the head of the goblin next to it down and compressed it vertically again.

Finally, the goblin who witnessed its colleagues instantly turning into minced meat in front of It collapsed to the ground in fear.

It was evidence that it was feeling fear towards me because of my bloodline ability.

With a crunching sound, the goblin was trampled to death under my feet.

Soon, I turned my head and looked at the other students who were staring at me blankly, confirming that they were also feeling fear from behind.

“......”

Perhaps because they witnessed the brutal death of three goblins in an instant, most of them looked at me with bewildered expressions.

“Are you just going to stand there and watch?”

As I flicked the blood of the goblins off my hand and taunted them deliberately for motivation, I said, “I wonder how much more you guys are going to take a free ride.”

And with that, my words became a trigger that transformed the fear of the onlookers into anger.

“Kill them all!”

“Let’s get out of here fast!”

“Take them down!”

A moderate amount of fear can make one feel uneasy, but overwhelming fear can drive one mad.

When I finally left the dungeon, having created a situation as intense as this, a Blond-haired thug who had not entered the dungeon approached me with his arms crossed.

“You’re stronger than I thought, huh?”

Unlike the others, he had not entered the dungeon. “Wanna hang out with me? If you have a trusty partner, it’ll be easier. Right?”

He still seemed to think that I would join him on a boat ride.

“No need. I have to leave soon, too.”

Ignoring the guy who was doing business with me, I took out the emergency phone from my pocket.

A clunky looking phone with an antenna attached. The thug chuckled at the sight of it.

“Will that even work? There’s no nearby base station.”

I brushed it off and made a call. Someone answered after a brief ring.

“Yes, Young Master.”

“Where are you?”

“I’ll be arriving soon.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up the phone, I looked up at the sky and the thug next to me asked, “What’s that? Is it a satellite phone?”

I nodded and folded the satellite phone, putting it back in my pocket. The guy looked at me as if I was crazy.

“You’re carrying around a device that costs a fortune and can make satellite calls, but you won’t give me any money? Let’s just take the boat together.”

Pushing away the persistent thug, I pointed to the coastline in the distance.

“Thanks but I’m going to take that.”

“Huh? That?”

I heard the sound of a propeller in the distance, coming closer and closer.

Do I really need to gather magic stones and go back to the academy when I know I can just sail across the West Sea? I am the successor of the Corleone Association. I have more money than I could ever spend.

“What? A helicopter?”

His expression froze as he saw the helicopter flying in the distance.

Did he not expect it to come all the way here? Leaving him behind, I walked slowly towards the beach where the helicopter was landing.

“I’m sorry, Young Master. Making you wait for a long time is unacceptable.” said Han Seo-jun, extending his hand to me as he got off the helicopter.

I nodded briefly and took his hand, entering the helicopter.

“Hey, hey! Let me ride too. Huh? We’re friends, right? Huh?”

Han Seo-jun stopped the thug who was coming into the helicopter.

“Please step back.”

“Just wait, so you know who I’m? Huh? Are you really leaving? Really?!”

The sound of the helicopter’s propeller grew louder and the thug’s blank expression became visible as the helicopter slowly lifted off.

I would have liked to take him with us if I could, but unfortunately, this was a small helicopter and there was no room.

Anyway, he could try to escape on his own even If he couldn’t ride helicopter, right?

Above all else, I thought. ‘He should be able to handle this much.’

He didn’t seem like an ordinary guy, so I wanted to confirm something.

If he was really affiliated with the Corleone family, there was a possibility that he was hiding something.

While thinking about that, I almost forgot what I was about to say, so I leaned out of the helicopter and looked down.

“Oh, I hope you’ll use the magic stones of the goblins I killed as you please.”

“What? Hey! Hey!”

With that, I smirked at the thug and took a seat.

The helicopter slowly rose.

Looking out the window, I could see the group still staring in our direction as they reconstructed the spatial coordinates.

I wonder how the main story ended up.

【Main Story Achieved!】

[To become the emperor of the nderworld, you must first imprint your power! Make your fellow students respect or fear you!]

[Target number: 19/10]

[Exceeded achievement! Rewards will be given according to the achievement.]

Beep. Beep. Beep.

My phone’s alarm kept ringing. With a satisfied smile, I entrusted myself to the helicopter flying towards the academy.

***

In an empty classroom, there was a woman monitoring the situation on the island with holograms floating in the air.

“Hiya, that guy is a real pain in the ass too.”

It was Jisoo-hyun who had purposely left coordinates to allow all the students to return.

They knew about the goblin dungeon on the island.

In the OT that brought everyone back together, he showed off all his abilities and then casually left the island on a helicopter, as if he had finished his job.

“He’s someone who understands monsters, knows martial arts, can use his background to his advantage, and can take over the surroundings with fear....”

The way Eugene ruthlessly tore apart the goblins was truly intelligent.

The goblins seemed to already know they were cowardly, and the way he killed them was overly cruel.

The goblins who witnessed that sight were reduced to trembling children, consumed by fear.

Next was a complete massacre.

Even in front of the students, he carried out such actions and left other students with fear, just like that man.

“As expected of that uncle’s son.”

Jisoo-yeon smirked and looked at another screen.

“Huh? Wow, this semester, all kinds of intresting students’ are overflowing.”

It was Jisoo-hyun, who laughed wickedly as she said that.
