I Alone Resurrect Chapter 136

Black Market (2)

Kang Hyeon was sitting in the chairman’s chair, fiddling with a scroll.

“Hmm…”

It was the magic fixation scroll he had used on Lee Baek-seo, the guild master of the Taeshin Guild, not long ago.

Name: Magic Fixation Scroll

Grade: B

Durability: 5/5

Description: A scroll mainly used when hunting magicians. It activates as soon as the scroll is torn. However, be cautious as magicians with strong magic control can ignore the magic fixation.

Ability: All magic within a 100m radius is fixed for 5 minutes.

“Why didn’t I use this earlier?”

There’s an appropriate saying for times like this.

If your head is bad, your body suffers.

Kang Hyeon was demonstrating this firsthand.

“If I had used this, I could have easily caught that skeleton…”

It’s not certain.

As stated in the description, its effect might be reduced against enemies with strong magic.

“But since it’s B-grade, couldn’t it have stopped them for a moment?”

If it had restricted the enemy’s movement for even a second, made them fall from the sky, or nullified their shield.

Then the fight might have ended embarrassingly easily.

“Damn… Let’s not think about it.”

It was useless to regret it now.

“I wonder if there’s a skill like this?”

Kang Hyeon, having thought of something, quickly typed on the keyboard.

“Skill, magic field…”

Reading the description, it was a skill that emits magic within a 1m radius at F-grade.

“Emit magic, and then?”

The emitted magic forms a barrier that interferes with the opponent’s magic or movement, and provides magical defense capabilities.

Just looking at the description, it seemed like an excellent skill, but this skill had a fatal flaw.

Its effect was so minimal that it was hardly noticeable.

Nevertheless, the demand was enormous, with many guilds and institutions seemingly buying up quantities for educational purposes.

“How come there’s not even one?”

Even when accessing the ‘Official Government Exchange’, the largest domestic item exchange, not a single item was visible.

“Should I ask Team Leader Shin Tae-gil to get it for me?”

If he did that, it probably wouldn’t take long to get it.

Although the magic field was trash for personal use, there were consistently people who wanted it, so the supply was quite abundant.

Moreover, it wasn’t an expensive skill, so he would probably gladly get it for him.

After contemplating for a moment, Kang Hyeon shook his head.

“No. Let’s take this opportunity to visit the market.”

Having made up his mind, Kang Hyeon stood up.

“There’s no one here today.”

Looking around the office, he could only see diligent employees working.

An Yu-seong, Shin Seong-a, Yoon Na-rae, who were always with him. None of them remained.

Kang Hyeon immediately made a phone call.

“Hey. Where are you?”

-Brother. I’m in training now, so call me later.

“Oh, okay. Work hard…”

Kang Hyeon made a sour expression as he ended the call.

“What’s going on…”

But he didn’t get discouraged.

He still had Shin Seong-a left.

“Where are you?”

-I’m in training. Can we talk later?

“Okay… Work hard…”

Kang Hyeon scratched his head.

“Sigh, I thought I wouldn’t have to go to her…”

It was time for the last player, Yoon Na-rae.

“Hey. Where are you?”

-What is it?

The voice over the phone was blatantly tinged with an annoyed tone.

“What do you mean ‘what is it’? Let’s go somewhere.”

-With whom?

“Who else? Your guild master, of course.”

-Isn’t An Yu-seong in training?

“Yeah, he is.”

-So just the guild master and me?

He could feel it even through the phone.

This was genuine dislike.

“Why don’t you want to?”

-Click.

Yoon Na-rae answered by ending the call.

“Hmm…”

Kang Hyeon’s tightly clenched fist trembled.

“Fine! It’s too disgusting, I’ll go alone!”

Shouting, Kang Hyeon left the office just like that.

“Keuruk, keuruk!”

“Ah! I shouldn’t have blocked like this here. From this side, like this…”

“Keuruk!”

Kergo was really excited these days.

He could practice swordsmanship, which he loved, every day, and the humans were kind.

The always-available delicacies and sumptuous feasts were a bonus.

“Thank you, teacher.”

“It’s nothing.”

Kergo smiled contentedly as he watched the humans treating him respectfully.

‘Humans. Good. Only Kang Hyeon bad. Kang Hyeon is trash.’

However, happiness didn’t last forever.

Because he heard the familiar voice of the devil from behind.

“Hey You look good. Even being called teacher.”

“Keuruk…?”

For a moment, Kergo felt his heart sink.

‘That was close.’

How did this human approach from behind without even noticing?

Seeing Kang Hyeon becoming more and more of a monster every time they met, Kergo felt very gloomy.

“What are you doing?”

“Training.”

Kang Hyeon could now converse with Kergo without equipment thanks to his newly learned translation ability.

“Let’s go somewhere.”

“Where?”

“I said let’s go out with me.”

Kergo shook his head at Kang Hyeon’s words.

“No. Kergo teacher. Busy.”

“Tsk! If I say we’re going, we’re going. Don’t talk back.”

“Kergo is teacher. Show some respect.”

Kergo said with a deliberately stern expression.

A very thick vein popped on Kang Hyeon’s forehead.

“Kang Hyeon is a grim reaper. If you don’t want to die, show some respect.”

“Sorry. Don’t hit me.”

As Kang Hyeon’s expression crumpled, Kergo hurriedly waved his arms.

“Sigh… Fine. What am I even doing?”

Suddenly overwhelmed by futility.

What’s commonly called a moment of clarity, Kang Hyeon sighed.

“Be a good teacher. I’m leaving.”

“Kergo not going. Is that okay?”

“Yeah, yeah. Live comfortably here being treated well. Eat delicious food too.”

“Thank you. Kang Hyeon. Kang Hyeon is an angel.”

As soon as Kang Hyeon left, Kergo grinned.

“Orc-like Kang Hyeon. Evil orc. But he left. Peace. Happiness…”

-Thudthudthudthudthud!

Suddenly, Kang Hyeon, who had left, came running back at an insane speed.

“Kang Hyeon. It’s a misunderstanding.”

“Shut your trap.”

Kang Hyeon decided to move alone.

“Right. Since when did I start going with others? I don’t need any of them!”

He shouted loudly without realizing it.

Kang Hyeon cleared his throat unnecessarily as attention turned to him.

“Ahem, but where is the market?”

The ‘market’ Kang Hyeon mentioned wasn’t the traditional market one might think of.

The place ability users call ‘market‘ is actually the Black Market.

The emergence of the black market happened quite a while ago, but it became fully active about 3 months ago.

A few months ago.

The money-hungry government created the largest ‘Official Government Exchange’ in the country with a bold investment.

At the same time, to maximize their profits, they drove out all the black markets in the country.

At that time, Kang Hyeon remembered demolishing one black market at Shin Tae-gil’s request.

“In the end, it only ended up making the black market bigger.”

The government thought they had eradicated the black market, but they were tougher than expected.

They set up a huge black market overseas using portals.

A safe black market located in a remote area.

As rumors of that place spread, foreign capital began to flow in, and as a result, it has now become a world-renowned black market.

Although it’s overseas, it’s a global black market operated by Korean ability users.

It had grown so large that even the government had given up on it now.

“I heard it was around here somewhere…”

As Kang Hyeon looked around, he soon picked up his phone.

“Hello.”

-Yes, Kang Hyeon. What can I do for you?

The person who answered the phone was Shin Tae-gil.

“Where’s the nearest black market entrance from the guild office?”

-Excuse me..? What did you just say…

“The black market entrance.”

Shin Tae-gil let out a deep sigh at Kang Hyeon’s bold words.

-Are you asking a government official about the black market entrance right now?

“Ah, don’t be so uptight and just tell me. You know everything anyway.”

-Sigh… Where are you now?

“Here at Dongshin Intersection in front of the office.”

-If you walk towards Hey Mart from there, there’s a pub called Villain Beer.

“And then?”

-That’s it.

“What? It was this close?”

Kang Hyeon was taken aback by the unexpected answer.

-The second floor of Villain Beer has reserved seating. There should be someone managing the portal to the black market there.

“Okay. Thanks.”

-You’re welcome… Don’t cause any trouble when you go there.

“Someone listening might think I go around causing trouble every day.”

-Don’t you?

“Hang up.”

After hanging up, Kang Hyeon immediately went to the place Shin Tae-gil mentioned.

“It’s just a neighborhood pub.”

Despite the funny name ‘Villain Beer’, the interior of the pub was ordinary.

It was in a bar format, and a man who looked like a bartender greeted him with a light smile.

Kang Hyeon immediately approached the bartender.

“I’d like to use the second floor.”

The bartender’s face hardened at these sudden words.

“Sir, do you have a reservation?”

“No, I don’t.”

“I’m sorry, but the second floor operates on a reservation-only basis.”

At the bartender’s words, Kang Hyeon took off his sunglasses and hood.

“I have an urgent matter, so can’t I use it?”

The man who recognized Kang Hyeon’s face made a troubled expression.

“Even if you’re a famous person, we can’t allow it without a reservation…”

Although he spoke kindly, the bartender was more than a little annoyed.

‘Of all people, it had to be this guy…’

Kang Hyeon is known for having connections with the government.

As if that weren’t enough, he’s also one of the most famous people in the country.

‘Yet he acts as he pleases, and if he doesn’t like something, he goes around causing a ruckus.’

Usually, if someone is famous or works for the government, they tend to be more mindful of their surroundings, stay within the bounds of law and morality, and have various restrictions.

But Kang Hyeon, while being both, adhered to neither.

It was obvious that if things went wrong here, he would force his way to the second floor.

“Then I’ll make a reservation now.”

“Ah… Um…”

Normally, he would have threatened to call the police or called ability users to drive him out, but that wasn’t possible either.

It would only make the situation bigger.

The bartender let out a deep sigh.

“May I ask what your business is?”

“Just want to take a look around. I have some things to buy too.”

“Do you know the rules you must follow in the market?”

“There are such things?”

The bartender desperately held back his right hand that was trying to hit Kang Hyeon’s head with the bottle he was holding.

‘I must endure.’

Although the black market is a lawless zone, it has its own rules.

To ensure these, entry passes are issued with the guarantee of a broker.

In the current situation, for Kang Hyeon to be let in, the bartender would have to become that guarantor.

This means that the moment Kang Hyeon causes trouble, he would have to share responsibility.

‘That absolutely cannot happen.’

A dilemma.

The bartender’s choice was to contact his superiors.

He needed someone to take on the responsibility.

“Could you wait a moment? I need to request approval from my superiors regarding the issuance of an entry pass.”

“Don’t you have the authority?”

“No, I’m sorry.”

Of course, he had the authority.

That’s what his position was for.

But if he acted on his own now, he could really end up dead without anyone knowing.

“Can’t be helped then. I’ll wait here.”

At Kang Hyeon’s words, the bartender hurriedly contacted his superiors.
