How a Catastrophic Necromancer Retired

4 episodes

– Ding-dong!

I stretched out at the sound of the doorbell and said.

“Aww! Is it already time for work?”

I currently have 11 transportable skeletons in all 3 versions.

The average income per transportable skeleton is about 300,000 won, so they were earning about 3.3 million won a day in total.

Of course, I could earn more if I had decided to lend it out at the gate, but it was impossible because it far exceeded the upper limit of my efforts… Anyway, 3.3 million won may seem like a lot to some people, but for me, having put a lot of money in a space, I can’t be satisfied at all.

“When are you going to retire, just earning this?”

I am the best Necromancer in the history of the Seron Continent.

What this means is that as there is no precedent, I have no idea how old I will be until I die.

So, when I return to Earth, I have been preparing for the imperial treasury… Well, it’s already gone, and anyway, you don’t know how long your life will be, so you should prepare as much as possible for retirement.

“Let’s make just a few trillions. Or make tens of billions of dollars in your bank account every month.”

So this is the goal I set.

The minimum goal to live a luxurious life without any worries for the rest of your life.

So, I decided to increase the transportable skeleton even a little bit by looking at it.

The problem is that the awakeners at the gate where I go to work already taste the transportable skeleton and bring all the corpses in a barrel with the mindset that it is beneficial to catch at least one more monster corpse, so there is no way to buy only the bones.

Of course, it is also possible to rapidly decay a corpse so that only the bones arise, and rather, it is possible to use more morale to produce a stronger skeleton, but that costs a lot of money and, above all, it is cumbersome to post-processing.

On the battlefield, it’s enough to throw the rotten flesh roughly anywhere, but that’s impossible here.

So the method I chose is…

Bang!

“Chief Han Ji-hyuk! That’s me! President Park!”

The person calling my name is President Park, a small merchant who came to the gate on a business trip when I was hunting.

When I opened the door, President Park smiled brightly.

“Delivery is here!”

It was to make President Park change the industry from business trips to delivery.

I go to the by-product market every day and collect fresh bones that have just been hunted without missing any parts as much as possible and deliver them to me every morning.

“They are all fresh guys I hunted yesterday.”

It is magic that moves the undead, but the power source that makes them move is the morale remaining in the corpse.

And while this morale quickly dissipates from the moment a living thing dies, the bone that lasts the longest is the morale.

That’s why the necromancers were mainly using skeletons using bones.

I looked at the morale of the bones and said with satisfaction.

“It’s fresh.”

The energy of a lion who has just died.

I feel a lot of fraud.

With this morale, we can build a stronger skeleton.

And a stronger skeleton can lift more loads, and of course, it’s also stronger.

“thank you for your effort. How much is it?”

“Yes. All in all, it cost me 170,000 won.”

At first, I just picked a merchant who didn’t seem to be doing well, but President Park, who doesn’t know how to lie and is sincere, really liked me in many ways.

So if you just tell me the cost, I decided to hand over it with a margin.

“I’ll give you two million won.”

Then, from the bag next to him, he counts the money to give to President Park, but even this suddenly becomes bothersome.

“I’ll just give you 500 at a time, so why don’t you open and close it there?”

Then, while working together, CEO Park smiled and said, ‘I guess he got a rough idea of me.

“It’s a bit burdensome for me, so how about paying only once every three days?”

“a. That’s not it.”

It’s about making a bill transaction, but I know better than anyone how annoying it can be from the point of view of Eul.

Because I believed in one promise that I would send you to Earth, and I’ve been fighting for 30 years.

I took 500 out of my bag and held it out.

“Here, 500. Let me know when you run out.”

After all, after my words, President Park accepted the money and said.

“I will serve you with honesty and sincerity!”

I said raising my thumb.

“good.”

So, I sent back President Park, and for a simple breakfast, I put frozen kimchi fried rice in the microwave and started making a carrying-type skeleton in earnest.

It works better when you make this when it’s fresh.

Weighing~.

Using the sound of a microwave oven as a background sound, he rubs his still-awake eyes and raises his hand, and the bones begin to stick to each other and take shape.

“Ahhh.”

I was the one who had hundreds of thousands of undead.

Of course, this kind of work is no joke.

Having created three new transportable skeleton MK.2 in an instant, I summoned Aspace to copy commands and took out one MK.2 that I had kept for backup.

“Copy command.”

Copy the same magic command stored in the backup that was taken out of the subspace and apply it to the new 3rd gear.

This completes 3 new MK.2s that will start making money from today.

Now my income will increase by 3 more.

ding.

And the frozen kimchi fried rice that was completed at the same time.

“Make money. Make money.”

I said, taking the kimchi fried rice out of the microwave.

“under. I want to retire soon.”

*

If you increase the transportable skeleton, the income of the increasing tribe will pop up.

When it comes to production cost, bones are everything, but that cost was almost tungsten for two days’ worth of a transportable skeleton.

Of course, it consumes that much of my magic power, but aside from the Undead Legion, I was told that I was one of the top magicians in Seron.

This amount of mana consumption is quickly restored even if you close your eyes and rest for a while.

Anyway, I had been running the rental business so smoothly, but today I finally had to move to another business.

“It’s coming to an end soon!”

“Get ready!”

The gate that has reached the critical point vomits out all remaining monsters in the gate and disappears.

And today is the critical point of the gate where I kept going to work.

I said, gazing again.

“A day like this should be avoided.”

A transportable skeleton is a necessary porter for long distances.

In other words, there is no use in a gate that reaches a critical point and vomits monsters.

“Come out!”

At that time, along with the cry of the awakening, the gate indiscriminately vomits out the remaining monsters at a tremendous speed.

“Kill!”

The battle between the monsters and the awakening began like that.

I looked at it with a deep look, and I opened a subspace and took out transportable skeletons and a few skeletons made for chores and ordered them.

“Put it on.”

Then, the skeletons for chores load the stand, parasol, and the recently purchased recliner sofa made of the finest leather on top of the transportable skeleton.

While preparing for eviction, the Awoken who had finished all their hunts began to speak in disappointing voices.

“what.”

“I came here for a cup of water, isn’t it?”

“Did you hunt that much?”

Awakened people who seem to be very disappointed.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t take the time to capture it thanks to the transportable skeleton and just kept wandering around.

Well… hunting isn’t my business.

I looked at the transportable skeleton for a moment and said.

“I’m tired of walking. Shall we ride?”

The gate I set for my next target is quite far away.

I said that you shouldn’t summon pets in the city, but wouldn’t it matter as this is a sparsely populated place?

Besides, just looking at them, they have no fighting power at all.

After thinking for a while, I took out a new transportable skeleton that had never been used before, laid the blanket I had prepared in the bone basket, and climbed up and laid myself down.

“Let’s just ride.”

If you say something, then you can bring it back in.

Then a team of Awoken came up to me after hunting and said,

“president!”

The saying that he is a boss who has completely settled in people’s mouths.

“Yes.”

“Which way are you going?”

“I’m going to the gate in the nearby mountain.”

“Then we will go together. The ending of the critical point isn’t as good as I thought, so I think I’ll have to hunt a little more. Please rent with MK.2 first after arrival.”

As the first reservations arrive, the other Awakening teams arrive at the same time.

“We too!”

“2 reservations for MK.2!”

then it’s me

“Reservation completed. Let’s get going.”

As the Awoken began to go towards the next gate, I tapped the transportable skeleton and said,

“Follow me.”

Then, the transportable skeleton riding on it walks behind the Awakeneds, followed by the transportable skeleton with loads like my kiosk behind them.

“Wow. Something like that will happen.”

“Does it look interesting?”

However, contrary to the reactions of those awakened, I was frowned at the poor ride quality of the transportable skeleton.

“ah! ah!”

Because this is a mountain, every time I move, my body collides with the hard bones with a thin blanket in between.

“The ride is the worst.”

I miss the kiln I rode in Seron so much.

But what will change if you miss what you don’t already have?

You have to adapt to the current situation as much as possible.

I recalled the commands of the skeletons that drove my palanquin as much as possible and then recreated the magic circle.

“A little softer. The recoil is slightly weaker. You have to strike a balance, a balance.”

It injects dozens of commands in just a few minutes.

Then, like a car suspension, the transportable skeleton automatically adjusted the position of the basket according to the movement and started walking lightly.

I said with a satisfied look.

“Now it’s worth using.”

Although it is far from reaching the kiln, it is still enough to move comfortably while lying down.

I said quietly, closing my eyes.

“Cover.”

Then, a transportable skeleton that covered the cover and made a awning screen.

I said quietly closing my eyes.

“Come on, let’s go to the next business.”

*

So I settled down at the new gate again.

The business was booming again this time.

Even the Awakened who had been active in other places after gaining fame came to this gate.

Every morning I create a new transportable skeleton, and that increases my income.

But after a while, I realized the limitations of this method.

“…are you staying?”

Skeletons remain.

I leaned back on the recliner sofa for a moment, stared blankly at the sky, and said.

“but. Just don’t do it.”

The number of monsters in the gate is not infinite.

Naturally, there is a limit to the number of Awakeners who make money by hunting that monster.

No matter how efficient the transportable skeleton is, it is of no use if there are no monsters.

“It’s a crisis.”

Don’t just increase it blindly.

He said that he had to reach out to other gates now.

But how?

“Should I leave Alvara?”

However, Alba can’t use magic to give temporary imprints so that the transportable skeletons follow the awakened ones, isn’t it?

“This is a pain in the butt.”

Workers have to keep rolling unconditionally to make money.

“Isn’t there a good way?”

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered the transportable skeleton I rode a while ago.

“uh? Wait a minute.”

Something flashes an idea.

I said with my eyes shining.

“If you combine this with a human porter…”

*

A porter with a strong physique looked at Han Ji-hyeok, who seemed to be contemplating on something at the stall, and said:

“It’s completely gone.”

Then the fellow porter shook his head and said,

“Everyone is looking for those bones, and they don’t want to hire a porter. Chansu, let’s just go to another gate.”

Kang Chan-soo, a porter with a strong physique, sighed and said.

“ha. This is the closest one.”

After thinking for a while, Chansu said.

“You didn’t look like a bad person, but how about asking a little favor?”

“Request?”

“I’m asking you to match the price, even if it’s the same.”

A transportable skeleton that is 1/3 the price of a normal porter.

This was at a level that could not be competitively priced.

“Is that going to happen? Wouldn’t it be faster if we just go somewhere else?”

Chansu said with a look of pain in his head.

“It’s not like that because that’s not the solution. look.”

Changu said, pointing to the transportable skeletons behind Han Ji-hyeok.

“You are left. What does it mean to borrow everything and leave it like that? It means that they don’t know if they will advance to other nearby gates soon. How far are you going to get pushed and pushed like this?”

Then a porter with a stern look came up to him and said,

“You sound right after a long time.”

Chansu said with a smirk at the appearance of a voice he didn’t want to hear.

“Kim Yong-gi.”

The appearance of Kim Yong-gi, who is infamous for gathering the porters and taking over the work by territorializing other porters.

Kim Yong-gi looked at Han Ji-hyeok and said.

“If we go on like this, we may all be pushed out of this neighborhood.”

“It will be you, not us. Since when did you guys care so much about other porters?”

Then Kim Yong-gi said with a smirk.

“Anyway, you admit that this is a crisis, right?”

“…that’s right. So I just wanted to ask you.”

“No, no. Request? Can something like that work? Let’s hear it, that human, F-class? It is also a summoning series.”

“You know it just by looking at it.”

“By the way, are you using all your pets as porters? How weak would I be to give up fighting and make money like that?”

Then Chan-soo said with an absurd expression.

“Are you going to touch me now? Awoken?”

“Of course I am not stupid. No matter how weak the Awakened, an Awoken is an Awoken. But did I really go out like this without believing in it?”

“The corner you believe in?”

“The Awakened people who looked after me were a little angry. Even if you omit the flea liver, it’s still oily.”

Chansu now understands everything.

Kim Yong-gi has been gathering the porters by putting the Awakened behind his back and paying compensation under their protection.

“The Awakeneds have agreed to give it to you, so you just follow along and fill in the pages.”

Then the porters who were fighting the Kim Yong-gi gang with Chan-soo hesitated and said:

“Isn’t that a bad suggestion?”

“What!?”

“They say we have to pay 10,000 won an hour to compete with the bones he made, is that true? If you take that money and go to the gate, just do a part-time job at the convenience store. First of all, it was over there that broke the rules!”

Chansu said with a puzzled expression.

“Anyway, that’s not it! It can be done with words!”

“Are you guaranteed that it will work?”

“That, that.”

“sorry. Let’s try walking with Kim Yong-gi.”

The porters joined Kim Yong-gi’s hand in such an instant.

Kim Yong-gi saw that and said with a smile.

“What should I do, all my friends are here. Anyway, if you change your mind, come to me, and I’ll take care of your work. You like one power, right? haha!”

Kim Yong-gi, who led the porters and rushed in.

Kang Chan-soo sighed and said.

“ha. Anyway, this is not it.”

Chansu Kang said with a bitter expression on his face.

“More than that, shouldn’t we be warning him that he will be in danger?”

However, if he did, he might be caught by the awakened people who looked after Kim Yong-gi.

After thinking for a while, Chan-soo Kang said with a determined expression.

“okay. Anyway, violence is not right. For once, he secretly handed me a note to warn me……”

But then.

“Ohh?”

Kang Chan-soo was startled by the sudden voice coming from behind.

“What, what!”

“Are you warning me?”

That person was Han Ji-hyeok, the topic of conversation until now.

“Are you a good friend?”

“Yes, yes?!”

“Actually, I’ve been listening to everything since before.”

Chansu said with a shocked expression.

“I, the person who was far away did it…”

“There is a way. Anyway, I really hate digging traps with me, right? That’s why I was thinking whether I’m going to cut everything…”

Han Ji-hyuk smiled and said.

“I came here because it was strange to say that.”

“Gee, special?”

“You don’t want to try a part-time job? Even if I didn’t, I was just trying to find a part-time porter because I didn’t have a lot of work. I’m trying to give them a fairly generous hourly wage.”

Kang Chan-soo, embarrassed by Han Ji-hyuk’s sudden words, said.

“Alba? What is that…”

Han Ji-hyuk, who told me about the part-timer like that.

Kang Chan-soo, who heard all the stories, said with a bright smile.

“I, really? If that’s the case, all other porters will be welcome!”

“Is that right? I’ve been thinking about it and this is the best. But the other porters aren’t the ones who just left for me, are they?”

Chansu said in an urgent voice.

“It’s because everyone’s been unable to keep up their jobs lately and runs out of money, they’re not bad people! If this is the case, I can convince you! It really is!”

“Hmm. Originally, I never looked at the person who put the back of my head on the back of my head…”

Han Ji-hyuk sighed and said.

“ha. I am well aware of the sadness of not having money again.”

“Yes?”

“I’ll give you one more chance to see your face. instead······.”
