『 Ooooooooooom(ॐ)----------------- 』 The sound coming from the headphones was too drawn out to be called a voice, yet too distinct in tone and vibration to be called just a sound. The voice rang out for so long and so evenly it was hard to believe it was in a single breath, continuously vibrating the headphones, and it made the cheap headphones tremble and moved Rise's ears with sound alone. The vibration originating from the ears pierced straight to the brain, and…

While the strange lifeform and the dog were engaged in a fierce battle at a speed Jinseong could barely see, the slime was able to comfortably devour most of the mosquito corpses fallen on the floor, and it gained a massive body that easily surpassed Jinseong's height. And proportionally, the needles that were barely visible at first had grown long and hard enough to remind one of porcupine quills, and the nucleus that had been a disgusting color darkened more and more, bringing to…

Divine power was something that underwent a thousand changes and ten thousand transformations. Something that shone brightly but wasn’t light, could burn hot but not possess heat. A power that could harden yet contain warmth, fluttered, and could harbor sharpness that could carve skin. The dog unleashed its divine power in all directions like a burst of energy. Its shining body transformed from the shape of a dog into a sharp hedgehog and…

Realizing its identity had been exposed, the stone stopped pretending to be an ordinary rock and began to release divine power. The divine power, materialized due to its excessive quantity, began to illuminate the main hall like a bright light, and as it gradually brightened, it gathered in one place to form a shape. And finally, it formed the shape of a large dog made of light. Its name was Mukurikokuri no Inugami. This was the sacred object…

"Behold. You Shinto priests will now abandon your unrewarded faith and transform anew. Instead of a worthless sacred object that only hides itself and cuts off divine power to escape crisis, you can serve a more perfect and helpful god. How is this not a good thing? It's a celebration, truly a celebration." Jinseong said this while looking at Rise screaming and Kenji in despair. At this, Rise jerked her head up and shouted in a wail: "Mukurikokuri no Inugami didn't…

"Your father, Mr. Saigo Kenji, is not a Shinto priest, Ms. Saigo. After graduating from the archaeology department, he has lived as a local heritage site manager. He's also the supervisor responsible for managing abandoned shrines that have become historical relics, and he's the one who came up with the idea of utilizing abandoned shrines as tourist attractions. Thanks to this, the local economy was revitalized, and he gained much trust from the residents." "N-no.…

The doctor looked very tired. Despite his youthful appearance that made him look like a younger man and his harmless rabbit-like impression, dark circles were deeply set under his eyes, and he exuded a pessimistic atmosphere as if worn down by the harsh world. Behind the doctor was a woman in a white nurse's uniform, but her features were strangely blurry. She could clearly register information like ‘pretty,’ ‘cute-looking,’ ‘young-looking’, but it was as if a fog was…

Airi's appearance was the same as usual. The same appearance she always saw at school. The sailor uniform designated by the school, brown hair, slightly drooping eyes, and long, stretched corners of her mouth. Everything was exactly the same as usual. "You can't skip lunch. If you do, you won't grow taller and your chest won't get bigger." As she said this, Airi placed her hand on her chest unusually large for her age and lightly…

While Rise was confused, the man's hand moved like lightning, grasping at the air. Despite the distance between them, she felt her breath suddenly cut off as if she’d been grabbed by the collar from right in front of her. She had no choice but to be dragged along, leaving marks on the ground as she leaned forward, pulled by an invisible hand. Creak. As she was being dragged, Rise naturally brought both hands to her neck to try to remove whatever was…

How to blend in safely? How to completely escape from being a suspect? Where was the perfect blind spot, safe from the watchful eyes spread throughout Japan? What could be the answer to these questions? Hiding one's appearance is the lowest strategy, disguising oneself is a middling strategy. Jinseong decided to utilize the characteristics of Japanese people. Japan was a country where remnants of class still remained…

As Jinseong passed through the vast airspace of the border, he entered enemy territory. "Huh." The first things to greet him were decorations that sat between nouveau riche and tradition. The airport was filled with a uniquely Japanese splendor that seemed gaudy at first glance. Interspersed among these were murals painted in the style of ukiyo-e, traditional Japanese paintings, as if declaring, "This is Japanese beauty." They've manipulated the…

Creak-- After leaving the mansion, Jinseong used space contraction repeatedly to climb to the top of a high-rise building. "Huh? Huh?! Sergeant Kim Seong-il, Sergeant Kim Seong-il! You need to wake up! There's an intruder!" "Ah shit, I told you not to wake me unless it's an officer coming." In the process, a soldier on duty at the top of the high-rise building was startled, but instead of explaining, Jinseong hid himself in the shadow of the…-

Jinseong used space contraction repeatedly to move to Seoul. Then he found a suitable three-way intersection near an elementary school, threw the Jewung he had made, and chanted an incantation. "As Cheoyong who caught the god of disease travels a thousand li, misfortune disappears and good fortune comes." He hid in a back alley as soon as he chanted the spell, waiting for the Jewung to break. "Huh?" "Hey! This is weird!" "Don't…-

Jewung referred to a doll made of straw. Its origin was said to come from Cheoyong, the protagonist of the Cheoyong legend from Silla, and due to the nature of the legend, the straw doll used in Korea had the power to ward off evil spirits, exorcise misfortune, and repel evil gods. It's truly good that the effect is doubled when combined with the Cheoyong dance. Even if the place is narrow, how could there not be a secret plan if one wishes with all their heart? Inside…-

After breakfast, everyone scattered to their own rooms. Returning to his room, Jinseong recalled the awkward but clearly respectful conversation. The Lee family was always like this. It was surely their good nature that was treating Jinseong, an intruder who could be seen as uncomfortable for both the Patriotic Association and the Patriotic Group, like this. Moreover, their continued attempts to even awkwardly approach him, despite his obsession with sorcery…-

The Patriotic Association. Its official name was the Korean National Patriotic Association. It was an organization that had continued its lineage from the Korean Empire era to the present, and was also a place full of people imbued with somewhat radical ideas like "protecting South Korea by any means necessary". Perhaps due to the nature of the organization, it was a massive group that included people with somewhat hardline tendencies such as retired soldiers, former…-

* * * As soon as Jinseong appeared, Lee Serin, who had arrived at the dining room, ran over and looked him up and down. She looked him up and down, stared into his eyes, crouched down to look up at him, went up close enough for her nose to touch his body and glared at him. Then she said: "He looks the same from far away and up close." Jinseong was confused by this behavior at first, but…

For transcenders, the position of the human species was just that. Beings with intelligence but infinitely weaker than transcenders, yet so cute in appearance and actions that it was enjoyable just to watch them quietly. From a human perspective, it was like looking at cute animals. That was why they contacted humans and found them adorable. Some transcenders approached young geniuses and changed them to their liking. Some…

When the martial artist fainted, what remained was an unguarded mountain. There was not a single person who could resist him not only on the second floor but also the third floor, and Jinseong was able to go around killing the unconscious loan sharks as if on a stroll. The cat's head held in Jinseong's left hand opened its mouth wide like it was alive and harvested heads like earlier, and Jinseong reached the president's office on the third floor. "Huh-uck,…-

The martial artist had an appearance that could be called a perfect example of a well-trained martial artist. Well-developed muscles and sinewy arms, a wooden sword exuding the scent of citron. However, his features somehow looked strange, appearing slightly different from a Korean person. "Kh-he. Did you come by boat, or is your blood mixed?" The man didn't answer Jinseong's question, instead gripping his wooden sword with both hands and taking a stance. The man's eyes,…-

What was inside the bundle were gold items. They were gold ornaments and Japanese-style gold coins identical to those carried by Japanese beckoning cats (maneki-neko). "A large size indeed." Jinseong, thinking that the divination of the cursed object he had created was correct, took out one gold coin and lightly stroked it with his hand. Swish. The gold coin that Jinseong's hand touched trembled as if alive, then softened and…-

Sorcery was a discipline that required a lot of money. If one invested little, it cost very little, but if one invested a lot, it cost infinitely much. For example, simple love charms, safe childbirth prayers, or magic related to fortune-seeking beliefs didn't cost much money. In the case of Jewung, a Korean fortune-bringing and disaster prevention magic, it could be performed with just straw and three coins, and talismans could be made with just paper, brush, and ink.…-

"However, kh-he. Yes. However." The strange person, with a hand that seemed slightly different in color... but still close to the color of plaster, grabbed the man's arm forcefully and said, "A price, kh-he. A price is needed. What. It won't be-a very severe price..." The strength of that grip was so strong that it felt like being held by a machine rather than a person. It squeezed as if a machine was compressing his arm, making it feel like his bones were…
