Otherworld Constellation Gallery Chapter 47

Otherworld Constellation Gallery 

Chapter 47

As soon as I heard Tulip’s words, it hit me.

‘Ah, this must be because of self-heal.’

The damage wasn’t too bad, but I could feel my body recovering in real time.

 At that moment, Kang Ha-rin approached carefully.

“Juhan, are you okay?”

Her eyes were full of concern.

The look on their faces hit harder than I expected.

Instead of being someone my team could count on and trust, 

I was being pitied.

“I’m fine.”

Only then did Ha-rin let out a sigh of relief and suddenly handed me something.

“I should’ve given you this sooner… I just kept putting it off…”

What she pulled out was a suit of armor.

It looked very different from what was given to the kids at the orphanage.

Refined, solid, like something a medieval knight commander might wear.

“Whoa! So this is it! But… why is it so light?”

“Maybe your strength stat went up?”

Tulip, answering on her behalf, suddenly widened her eyes.

“Wait—no seriously, why is it so light?”

 “It’s still strong though, right?”

“Wait, are we talking about strength, or… like, actual strength?” 

“I mean… it just feels flimsy—like it’s not durable or something…”

“‘Gangdo’ means a robber, doesn’t it?”

“…What?”

Ha-rin and I just stared at Tulip in silence.

“Tulip… you’ve been hanging around Ju-han too much.”

“She’s aging into his bad jokes.”

“Hey! I was just playing along with the old man’s vibe!”

“Yeah, yeah, that’s what they all say at first.”

Tulip takes out her bow.

“Old man, can I test the durability of your armor?” 

“Don’t worry about the durability.” 

“Ha-rin, that’s not what she means. She’s saying she wants to hit me.” 

“Ah…”

More importantly, I wonder if information would appear like with store items. Information check.

[Kang Ha-rin’s Handmade Armor] 

Equipment type: Armor Stamina: +3 Defense: +20 Potential: 50% Fire Resistance Durability: 120/120

My eyes widened slightly. Stamina level increases by 3? 

This isn’t just simple armor, is it?

“…Did you add these attributes?” 

“No. They were automatically there.”

Hmm, is it random?

“Well, not bad. No, excellent.”

As I examined the armor, Kang Ha-rin blushed and fidgeted.

“Really? Then… try it on.”

She urged me to put on the armor. While putting it on, I marveled at how comfortable it felt.

‘It feels like casual clothes rather than armor?’

Indeed, just like store items, there’s no discomfort at all. I was nodding unconsciously when.

“Oh right! It can also become invisible!”

Kang Ha-rin’s voice grew louder, as if excited to finally prove her usefulness.

“Invisible?” 

“Yes. Like this.”

As Kang Ha-rin spoke, she made her own armor invisible. The armor vanished smoothly before my eyes.

“Are you just playing tricks by storing it in your inventory?” 

“No. Try it yourself.” 

“I’m joking. But is invisibility your ability too?” 

“…I’m not sure about that.”

So even she doesn’t know. Anyway, this place is really unhelpful.

“Well, now that I’ve received the armor. Let’s accomplish some achievements.” 

“Yes! Oh, by the way, I felt that strange feeling again earlier. I thought I should tell you.” 

“Strange feeling?” 

“That feeling when we were being followed. I felt it when you were fighting intensely.” 

“I guess that bastard underlings tried to come in but ran away after seeing the situation.”

More importantly, what I need to do now is clear. I can’t just earn gold anymore. I don’t know when this damn leveling will unlock, and it’s dangerous to rely solely on stats when such dangerous guys are appearing.

‘But I can’t rashly enter into contracts either.’

It’s not just about Manyō’s Tomb achievement anymore. From what those guys said, contracts might be either poison or a holy grail for humans to survive.

‘Even those malicious constellations…’

Can we really say the good alignments are truly good? They’re also enjoying and watching this spectacle as a form of entertainment, just the same.

The devil originally approaches in the form of an angel. Maybe Kang Ha-rin’s question about whether it was a ‘devil’s contract’ might be true. Whether they’re angel type or devil type, they’re all the same to me.

‘So until I’m certain it’s safe, I’ll focus on achieving achievements and obtaining runestones.’

I’ve gotten runestones from both monsters and humans. Also, when achievements are accomplished, items are given.

‘I can become strong enough without contracting.’

However, there’s no information about who can provide runestones. So the clearest path is the Massacrer achievement. Besides, there must be more achievements…

“But old man, aren’t you making your armor invisible?” 

“Huh?” 

“Armor invisibility.” 

“Ah, no, I’m not.” 

“Why not?” 

“So people won’t mess with me when they see this.” 

“Ah…”

As I tapped the armor firmly while answering, Tulip and Kang Ha-rin’s expressions became identical.

[Title: First Hunter you bastard, you bastard, you should do it the other way around] You should make yourself invisible and prevent your companions from being invisible, you idiot!

ㄴ Why? 

ㄴ fmr) Even if his build looks feminine, he still looks like someone who can’t be easily caught.

ㄴ fmr) In that state, who would they target.

ㄴ Right? First Hunter, aren’t you raising your intelligence more? 

ㄴ Ability and intelligence aren’t related. 

ㄴ Oh right? So that’s why he’s only at that level even after raising intelligence to 5 lolololololol.

ㄴ Hey above commenter, you need to raise your intelligence first 

ㄴ Fuck off. 

ㄴ scratch?

The Constellation gallery probably didn’t write this thinking I would see it, but somehow it scratches at me. It’s also understandable.

“You two don’t make yourselves invisible either.” 

“What?” 

“It makes you look vulnerable.”

Well, this much could just be considered a coincidental overlap in thinking.

[Title: First Hunter, did you read what I wrote?lol] The timing is insaneㅋㅋㅋ First Hunter saw my post!!!

ㄴ Please don’t overreact about coincidences 

ㄴ fmr) No? He chose me!!! He’ll contract with me!!! He’ll take me to Valhalla!!! 

ㄴ Blocking this person.

ㄴ Dindindindindin) You want to come to Valhalla? Raise your cup in toast! 

ㄴ fmr) What the; How did this happen?

ㄴ What is this guy doing here now?

ㄴ Dindindindindin) His majesty has arrived, raise your cup! 

ㄴ Get lost.

ㄴ For real, just setting yourself up to get hurt lol 

ㄴ For real, he’ll just get cursed for no reason.

Yu Ju-han sprinted through hordes of goblins.

His armor was already covered in blood, but he showed no signs of wanting to rest, moving and moving again.

In the battlefield covered with death, his clear eyes seemed to prove that he was alive.

He looked like a battle maniac who enjoyed combat itself.

Lee Tulip was watching from a distance, aiming her bow. Ju-han’s back looked bigger and heavier than before. It wasn’t simply because of the armor.

‘…He seems like he’s being chased by something.’

That’s how she felt. 

Like a warrior driving himself forward, he kept plunging into the goblin hordes without rest.

SWOOOOOSH-!

Three or four spears fly in simultaneously. Slightly tilting his head back, stepping one foot backward, he deflects their trajectories with a single longsword.

CLANK! THUD! CLANG!

The spears bounce off powerlessly. 

The goblins’ spears that fell to the ground shatter into fragments.

And through that gap, a single shadow penetrates.

‘He’s fast…!’

Was he always this fast? While thinking that, Lee Tulip instinctively felt it. He wasn’t simply killing goblins now, but consuming himself.

‘Even someone as strong as him continues to push himself.’ 

‘I can’t keep being a burden like this.’ 

‘I need to become stronger too.’

She narrowed her eyes and pulled her bowstring.

FWOOOSH!

While Lee Tulip took down three goblins at once. 

Yu Ju-han was dominating the battlefield.

DING!

[Achievement <First Goblin Massacrer> accomplished!]

[You have killed 100 goblins for the first time!]

[Reward: Random Consumable Box 1, 10,000 Gold]

DING!

[Achievement <Goblin Massacrer> accomplished!] 

[You have killed 100 goblins!] 

[Reward: Your abilities increase by 10% when facing goblins. Goblins’ abilities decrease by 20% when facing you.]

DING!

[A massacrer has appeared in this area.] 

[The level of this area is rising.]

Yu Ju-han’s eyes narrowed.

‘What does this mean….’

A massacrer has just appeared? Even when he accomplished the First Dead Mask Archer Massacrer achievement, the level didn’t rise twice. 

That means no one in this area had achieved the massacrer title.

‘What… Launcher Goblin was the first mob…?’

For that guy to have raised agility to 10, shouldn’t he have killed over 100 of them? Or did he receive sponsorship? Well, it would have taken about 20,000 gold at most.

While thinking about this, the final alarm appeared.

DING!

[Level rise detected in more than two starting areas.]

[Due to continuous massacrer births, new areas are being unlocked.]

[Area expansion: Incheon, Daejeon, Daegu, Gwangju, Busan]

“Shit, what is this now…” 

“Old man! Suddenly, a strange alarm…!”

Yu Ju-han closed his eyes tightly. It seems it appeared to the others as well. That would mean it’s a message being shown to all awakened humans right now.

‘More importantly, has it expanded all the way to Busan?’

No, it’s not simply an expansion to Busan. The specific locations within Incheon, Daejeon, and so on have all disappeared.

In other words, the range has expanded from small neighborhoods to entire regions.

‘Ha… shit. We’re fucked.’

Currently, the monster appearance zones themselves are very narrow. That means few people encountered them, and even fewer were awakened.

‘The tables have turned.’

Fucking bastards. They’re driving us into hell.

Yu Ju-han clenched his fist. 

And instead, he smiles.

“Let’s do this. Let’s see who wins.”

[Thanks to First Hunter, the main game has started lol][648]

[Please let there be some useful bastards!][345]

[First Hunter, so when are you going to make a contract?][463]
