My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness Chapter 420

Blazing Torch (1)

I stroked my chin as I looked at the system window that appeared in front of me.

‘It’s the third version of the Karma Store.’

How much fun have you had thanks to the “Karma Store Ver.2 Update”?

『VIP Market』, which provides special products useful to awakeners, and 『Product Purchase』, which makes it easier to obtain items from each dimension, have been of considerable help so far.

As such, I couldn’t help but feel excited when I heard that the store had been further upgraded...

“...I didn’t expect this though.”

I stared blankly at the list that appeared in front of me with a shocked face.

The store overall had a format with some new elements added from the previous version.

However, as I was happily checking out each and every change, something suddenly stuck in my mind...

『Purchase Item – View Details』

└Outerica

└Kang Hwan-gye

└Earth

‘Earth? ‘Earth?’

The word ‘Earth’ was stuck on a menu where only products from another world could be purchased.

“...So, you’re saying that you can now purchase items on Earth with karma?”

Actually, that in itself wasn’t that great of a benefit.

With my current influence, I could easily obtain quite a few items without having to use karma.

In fact, it was much more cost-effective to use Earth’s currency, which was easily available, rather than Karma, which had limited ways to obtain it.

‘But that’s not what’s important now. The question is why this change suddenly occurred.’

In the meantime, Karma Store was drawing a clear line with Earth.

Usually, the first time an awakened person encounters it is right after being sent to another world.

And when you finally collect 1 million points and choose to ‘return’ to Earth, the karma store disappears and the opportunity to use it again is gone forever.

‘It’s like I dug into a loophole in the system and circumvented it, so I guess I should consider it an exception.’

After awakening his unique skill, he was obviously transported to another world, but he also remained on Earth.

Isn’t that contradiction the biggest reason why you can use the system as you please?

‘Let me see.’

With a serious expression, I selected the ‘Earth’ item and looked through each product.

Since it was a menu I had used many times in the past, it didn’t take long to roughly check where it was available.

And the conclusion reached after the confirmation was....

“Wow, they’re selling an aircraft carrier as well as an airplane? What is this again? space shuttle? “I’m sure they’re not even selling nuclear warheads... They’re really selling them, right?”

The truth was that nothing was impossible in this karma store.

Of course, the cost-effectiveness was the worst compared to the mysterious items of this world.

“You can buy an adult dragon heart for around a million, but a fighter jet is only worth 100,000 points? There are over 10 million aircraft carriers without a single aircraft? “Who buys something like this?”

Still, the fact that you could buy it right away if you wanted to was great in itself.

However, if the cost-effectiveness is like this, I will not buy it again in the future.

I sighed, forcing my gaze towards the nuclear bomb that boasted its presence just by its name.

‘What on earth does the system want from me?’

One thing was certain: this gigantic system encompassing all kinds of worlds wanted something from itself.

Maybe it wasn’t just a coincidence that he discovered a trick to bypass the system.

The situation was similar during the detailed tour of 『Karma Store Ver.3』 that followed.

In the 『VIP Market』, 『Invitation (1000000)』, which can force ordinary earthlings to become awakened, as well as 『Return Ticket (2000000)』, which pays the karma necessary for the return of awakened people sent to another world, have been added. there was.

In addition, there were convenience items such as 『Odin’s Eye』, which allows you to look down anywhere on the Earth while continuously consuming karma, and 『Hermes’ Steps』, which allows you to travel to any place at once, no matter how far away it is...

At that point, the theme of this update became I had no choice but to naturally realize what it was.

‘They are all related to the Earth.’

As if they were saying that they were finally given the right to intervene on Earth.

And that is probably the cause of the change.

『Karma Share (5%)』

A sentence that appeared at the bottom of the Karma store from the beginning.

I looked at it with narrowed eyes.

‘It’s market share. For what? system? earth? Or another dimension? What happens if I fill that to 100%? Should I just collect karma? Does this only apply to points that can be used? Or the total points accumulated so far?’

All kinds of thoughts swirled in my mind.

Until now, I had been running with the sole intention of destroying the Beoncheonhoe, but when I was suddenly faced with an unknown situation, my mind became complicated.

But even in the midst of all this, there was one thing I instinctively realized.

‘I don’t know what it is, but let’s upload it anyway.’

That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what you’ve done so far.

“Whoo—whoo.”

After a while like that,

Taking a deep breath, she carefully raised herself up, and a bright blue flame flowed from her hand, burning away only the blood on the handkerchief.

The handkerchief changed from red to white in the blink of an eye.

She carefully packed it away and sighed deeply.

“You know there’s nothing you can do about it, right? “The moment I take a break, even for a moment, I’ll be found out right away, right?”

“...But if it’s only for a moment....”

“That’s enough. “How many comrades have died so far from responding so complacently?”

The man couldn’t bear to refute those blunt words.

As she said, their current situation could not be said to be good even with empty words.

So much so that a brief rest may turn into an eternal rest.

If it weren’t for her, everyone would have been killed already.

“...sorry. “If only I had the strength to deal with that demon...”

“That’s nonsense. There are already three superhumans killed by that devil. Even though they dug a trap and joined forces, it still happened. “If you get involved, all you can do is add one more body.”

Her tone was sarcastic, but it was only to prevent him from acting recklessly. Her green eyes showed concern for the other person.

That’s because the devil who forced them to scatter and run away was a threatening enemy.

“Phew—I hope the others are safe too... ...Ahh! shit! That poisonous snake is so shameless and invites his friends in the real sword fight! “Are you still a man?”

An, who had been concentrating his mind to catch his breath and maintain his powers, finally couldn’t hold back his anger and burst out in rage.

It was natural that an organization that was somehow moving towards hope was ruined by those who suddenly intervened.

“Ugh, Oracle, if that damn old woman hadn’t intervened, we could have done something about the executioner.”

Although we cannot guarantee victory, at least we would have been able to retreat with minimal damage and look forward to the future.

At least the situation would have been much better than having torn to pieces and running away from the Philippines all the way to Vietnam.

“...after! It can’t be like this. “If you don’t keep your composure.”

She was upset for a while, as if to relieve stress, and then regained her breathing.

Since the life and death of not only themselves here but also their scattered comrades depended on her abilities, they couldn’t relax for long.

“But why don’t Becky and Tola come here?”

While I was calming my mind like that.

She frowned as she suddenly realized that those who had gone out to scout had not yet returned.

Normally, he would have been able to keep track of his colleagues’ positions, but now that he was doing his best to distract Oracle’s attention, he didn’t have the time to focus on anything else.

“for a moment.”

“...Jose?”

A sturdy man blocked the way Ahn was grumbling.

Sniff —

It flares its nose and scatters sharp force outwards.

His expression soon became serious and he quietly opened his mouth.

“The devil.”

“no way...! how? Is it because you got angry earlier? No, it can’t possibly be that bad...!”

“I have already been identified. “It’s coming straight here.”

Her face hardened at Jose’s soft words.

It was by no means a simple matter for one’s location to be discovered.

A serious situation that could endanger not only themselves but also all of the ‘Burning Torches’ who are scattered and hiding.

Even as she was gritting her teeth as if blaming herself, the crowd did not stop and approached the abandoned house.

With the sound of trudging footsteps, as if they had no intention of hiding their presence.

Accordingly, hair sprouted all over Jose’s body and his body began to grow larger.

And finally, the moment he took on the form of a beast standing on two feet—.

“Whoa, I finally found it. I just give directions from a convenient location, but let me find the detailed location on my own. “Does this make any sense?”

The door to the abandoned house opened and a man came in.

“That damn human... I guess the way he treats people is similar to our Demon King... I guess it’s just his mood, right?”

I threw away all caution and continued to grumble.

Then, when he realized that the two men and women in front of him were gaining momentum towards him, he rubbed the back of his neck sheepishly.

“Hmm, so—.”

An uninvited guest cleared his throat and cleared his voice.

Then he said hello using the devil’s unique verbal communication skills.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Ken Miyamoto.”

I am filled with joy for the people of Earth, with whom I have had a conversation for the first time in a long time.

“I have come to save you from despair.”

But unfortunately, his feelings were not conveyed to the other person.

Instead of answering, the only thing that came back was a hairy fist.
