"La, la, hu, na, na, na"
A few hours has already passed since Borun passed on, However Hell was still sleeping. Although I want to roam around the room and check the items I've acquired, I can't leave Hell for the time being. Well, there is really no problem it's just that I want to be by her side until she woke up so that I can assess whether she is really alright!
It's not like I doubted Borun, okay. Just think of it as me over thinking it. So without nothing to do, I was humming a lullaby while gently stroking the sleeping little goblin. Then I got bored so I decided to read my [ Notification Log ]. However, I really didn't expect to find something very outrageous!
I have actually leveled up by twenty-two levels, making me a level forty-two player in an instant! Not just that, the most shocking part is the value of status points which rose to an incredible amount! Scrolling down the Log, I found out that cause. [ Awakened Soul ] a very ridiculous title that doubles my current status points.
'This, this title! Isn't this too OP?' is what I thought. With this title, my real fighting power would be comparable to a level eighty, isn't it? Then this title is very, very, very amazing!
It's not just this title, but there's also countless new titles and skills glowing on the log. Title such as [ Dominator ], [ Weak beats Strong ], [ Wise Man ], [ Crazy ], and [ Loving kin ]. There's also new skills such as [ Spear Mastery ], [ Flash Movement ], and lastly [ King ]. However, the skill [ King ] is a bit odd. This skill, for some reason is grayed out unlike my other skills which is white.
I tried to tap the skill and see if it works but unfortunately it didn't. It only showed the word [ Error ]. So yeah, this doesn't make sense! I wanted to say 'Sensei, please teach me!' while raising my hand but there's no one here beside me and Hell here. Well, not like Hell can understand this~
The skill's name is [ King ] so I thought maybe something or maybe that Lolita Goddess was messing with me, or it was actually a title and was only misplaced but...Oh well, forget it~
I don't get it and I give up using my brain to it. Maybe I'll know about it after some time~
Besides these new titles and Skills, some of my current skills also leveled up. [ Divine Vision ], [ Divine Sense ], [ Teleportation ], and the Divine Skill [ Scorched Hell ] Leveled up to level 3. [ War Cry ], [ Healing Touch ], [ Lesser Treant Minions ], [ Meditating ], [ Spirit Merging ], [ Spear Mastery ] also leveled up to level 2. Although they only rose by one or two levels, it was still worth celebrating for. These skills leveled up was a great thing for it strengthened and boost my skills by a huge chunk!
Reading the log makes me feel ecstatic. The corner of lips rose up turning into a grin. Although, I really thought that that fight is really crazy and very dangerous, however the gain I acquired this time overshadowed my pain like heaven and earth. With my monstrous instant level up, new skills and titles as well as the treasures around the room that seems to be shouting 'Please take me Ahn~' like some birds with broken wings, truly [ No pain no gain ]!

"....ugh...m-master?"
As I was having my victory dance in my mind, a little voice resounded in my ear.
"Are you awake now?"
"Master!"
When she finally woke up, her green slit eyes widened when she saw me. And in the next moment, she jumped towards me.
Burying her face in my scruff, she started sniffing. I let out a wry smile and started stroking her small head.
"It's fine now, there's no need to worry....come on, don't cry. I'm okay"
---------------------------------------------------
Hell calmed down after a few minutes. After I've made sure that there is nothing wrong with her health, I gave her the [ Chimera ] monster core to absorb. At first, she was reluctant because it seems her mother have already told her about it and she was embarrassed to just take it. Because of this, my urged to meet her mother tripled! For a knowledgeable goblin to exist, just what the heck she is? Goblins are usually dumb monsters but it seems her mother is different. I wonder why?
After a few while, I manage to persuade her by telling her, she needs to become stronger if she wants to come with me. Right now, she was sitting while closing her eyes in the top of the bed. For me, I started to absorb skull face essence.
Unfortunately, the [ Chimera ]'s essence have already disappeared leaving only its body and core so I can't absorb it. Well, I guess it's fine. Although I don't know how the Skull face's monster essence still here, I'm guessing that maybe it's because Borun's soul just left.
There's an intense pain wrecking my brain when I absorb it, however I was still successful and manage to gain one skill [ Life Drain ]. Putting Skull face in my [ Spirit Slot ], I now have two forms I can take leaving me with six free [ Spirit Slot ].
With nothing to do, I started inspecting and sorting the treasures I acquired. Aside from the money, there are few things that instantly caught my attention. One of these are the twenty-five black rings. Although the design is very simple but what's important is its uses. These rings are called [ Spatial Rings ] that can store things. Yes! It was an item similar to inventory but this item is far superior to my inventory for it can store more items than my inventory. [ Spatial Ring ] is classified into three types; High, Middle, and Low grade items. So I don't think I have any problem carrying all the things inside these rooms anymore! Muwahahahahahaha~
Aside from the [ Spatial Rings ], there are also many accessories and ornaments that gives buffs and extraordinary effects. There also countless overpowered items, weapons and armors but unfortunately these most of the items has restrictions.
Yes, RESTRICTIONS! Damnit! If only I can equip these items, then I would be unstoppable!
Haaa~ well, there's nothing we can do but wait until we can use it in the future~ But still, As expected of a strong, crazy Lich that have once serve a great king. Although there are still Items that I can't identify, almost every items in the room was [ Rare ], [ Unique ], and [ Ancient ]. There are only few [ Normal ] tier equipments, but these equipments exceeded the norm! There are also 12 items that I think [ Legendary ] Class items or even [ Mythology ] class but because I can't identify it less use it, I just put it all aside for now. Who knows how long I need to take to use it~

However, these items are all really outrageous! Because of this, my skill [ Divine Vision ] reach the MAX level.
Aside from the items and equipments, I was also interested in the cool and beautiful clothes in the collections. However, what perplexed me was that there's not only a man's clothes but also for a woman and children. These clothes were beautiful and has different amazing defenses and various effects. Example of this was the [ Athena's Battle Dress ] that boost wisdom, magic power and defense to a great amount!
Looking at the house furniture and ornaments, I suddenly realized something. 'That pretty guy, did he prepared all these for Peisha and his non-existent children? Just how deep did that guy fell for that girl? Is it deeper than Mariana Trench? How Admirable! A pity the girl he madly loved was not looking at him, more like she wasn't even glancing at him~ Aah, rest in peace big brother! I hope that in your next life you'll met another girl deserving to be yours~
Hm? now that I think about it. That beautiful Peisha loved King Solomon right? Then, how handsome and cool is that guy?......grrr, no doubt about it, he's my enemy!'
As if only cleaning a dirty room, 12 [ Spatial ring ] was used. 8 lower grade and 4 Middle grade [ Spatial Ring ]. There is also many books plastered in the book shelf in the wall. Most of them are skill books but there are only few skill books I can currently used. These are basic magic from the fire, water, earth, lightning, wind, light, dark and space magic. The others have all restrictions in levels or status points.
Well, I'm really not quite in a hurry to learn it~ I'll just take my time and become stronger step by step. What's more important is that I can now use fire magic.
Yes! FIRE MAGIC! It's fire magic you know! With this I can now cook my own meals! Yahooo~ I won't need to eat only fruits but meat!!!! Meat for the long time!!! Yahooo!!!
I can feel my drool falling from my mouth as I look at the huge body of the [ Chimera ], but for now I still need to clean this place up. All the ancient looking books disappeared in an instant. Even the silver colored book shelves was stored in the [ Spatial Ring ].
"Now then, Gold and silver coins. Items, equipments, clothes and books. What left now are the weird looking plants, monster Hide, strange looking stones...I won't leave even a pebble in this room~ hahahaha"
Walking towards the flower bed, I noticed something wriggling at the corner. Focusing my eyes, I was surprised when I identified it. It was a monster I'm very familiar.
It was a slime!
A very small slime was wriggling around the flower bed, spitting some water in the plants one by one.
'What the hell!? Is that slime supposed to be the caretaker? Uugh, I don't know how but that slime seems so.........cute!!!!' Curious by the mysterious little slime, tiptoeing with quick steps, I walked towards the slime.
The slime was startled upon seeing me and quickly wriggle its body towards the wall. Seeing it in closer look, it's appearance was unlike the slime I've met before. It's body was like a water like gelatin ball and there's no holes that seemed like eyes. It makes me wonder how can it see~
With each sound of my step, the slime wriggled wildly as if it was scared but in my eyes, it's movements was very cute. I touched the slime with my finger to see if it was dangerous or it will retaliate but contrary to my expectations, it only trembled a bit and didn't do anything.
Does it don't have any attack power at all?
I scoop the little slime in my hand slowly stroke its head. It was wriggling for a while and then it suddenly stopped moving. Wondering if there was something wrong, I poked it. Suddenly a tentacle like thing wrapped around in my finger.
Surprised, I tried retracting it but the tentacle expanded as if it was a bubble gum. Then, it wriggled a bit, and slide its little body up to my shoulder. There it rubbed its body in my cheek,
Do you want to tame the water slime? Yes or No
A notification window showed up! Without hesitation, I immediately tap the YES button. The little slime's body glowed in an instant.
Taming Successful!
Please choose a name for your pet.
Uum...name, name Uugh...I really don't have any naming sense so.....Oh well~
"Aqua....Yup that should be good! All right, Aqua!"
Would you like to name your pet [ Aqua ]? Yes or No
Yes!
Ding!
You have successfully tamed the Water Slime [ Aqua ]!
Good!~ With this I have now a very cute slime! Muwahahahahahahaha...
"Please take care of me from now on, Aqua"
Aqua wriggle around while rubbing its head on my cheek. If only I can see its expression, I think it will be very pleasing to look at~
I took another Low grade [ Space Ring ] and store all the weird looking plants and flowers. From my skill [ Divine Vision ] the plants and flowers are all high class items that is rarely found in the world. These items are mostly used in concocting potions by [ Pharmacist ] and makings high grade pills by [ Alchemist ].
With that done, I walked to towards the scattered high grade looking animal and monster hides and store it into another [ Spatial Ring ]. Lastly, I walked towards the very old and ancient looking part of the room were all sorts of stones was piled up. Truthfully, this was things I'm more interested at.
'The things that pretty boy Borun collected are all high-class things so what's with this old looking stones doing here? This stone should not be ordinary for that lover despair boy to be also interested in collecting it, right?'
Picking the purple colored stone that was under my feet, I used my skill [ Divine Vision ]. Ding! A familiar sound was heard but when I read the description, my jaw nearly touched the ground.
Poisonous Devil Python Monster Core Level 89
What the hell!!!!!
That Despaired Pretty Boy told me how important monster cores are and how difficult it is to obtain. However, it was actually lying in here like a naked woman waiting for me to jump!?
Oh my god! Just where the heck did that Despaired pretty boy took this? Don't tell me, this was actually King Solomon's treasure?...........Man for giving this to your little brother for free, I am greatly honored~
Frantically picking up all colored stones while identifying it with my [ Divine Vision ], I put it all inside another [ Spatial Ring ].
There are a total of 58 monster core, ranging from level 55 to level 88 monsters. Feeling ecstatic, I took a water type [ level 65 Great Shark Monster Core ] and gave it to the slime that is quietly sitting in my right shoulder like a parrot. I was thinking, maybe this slime can also rank up after absorbing this monster core?
Without hesitation, the little slime grabbed the monster with its tentacle and put it inside its body and stopped moving. Seeing it, I moved my gaze to the other piled stones at the side.
Orichalcum Ore
Oh so this rocks are ore? One by one, I inspect it with my [ Divine Vision ].
Mythril Ore
Combustion Ore
Gravity Ore
..........
Different kinds of Ore was there. Although I don't what's the use of the other conspicuous named ore, I still store it all into another [ Spatial Ring ]. Suddenly a thought floated in my mind...'What if I make that in here?'...a mischievous smile floated in my face. Shaking my head, I put the thought in the back of my head.
Looking around, All the items and gold was already completely stored, so except from the bed Hell was using, the throne looking chair and some of Peisha's pictures in frames, the vast room was now completely cleaned.
Seeing this, a smile appeared in my face as I thank the despaired pretty boy while giving him a silent prayer.
"Fumu! I really did strike it big this time! Buwahahahahahahahahahaha"
I couldn't contain my emotions and laughed very loudly, because of this Hell and the little slime who was absorbing their monster core in silence jumped in surprised. Feeling the guilt, I gave them some apologetic looks while scratching the back of my head.
Although I took all the items and golds, there is still some [ Space Ring ] left, so I decided to disassemble the huge door and store it, with the throne and picture frames. Well, when I identified it using my [ Divine Vision ] earlier, it showed that it was also made from various rare metals and ores so it would be a waste if I won't take it......right? Teehee~
Of course, I will also take that amazing king sized bed after Hell finished absorbing her monster Cores. I will not leave anything even a single pebble~ that is a poor man's creed! Buwahahahahahaha
Because I've finished storing all the items, I sat on the bed and pondered for a while. 'What would I do after I leave this place? Should I go and look for Marie and Teach?'
Quietly thinking, I suddenly remembered the book Borun gave me. Taking out the [ Space Ring ] where I store it, I touched gently scratch it. A window containing a list of what is inside appeared. Tapping the image of the book, it quickly materialized in my hand.
Even with my [ Divine Vision ] in MAX level, I can only see the notification window saying [ Error ]. 'Borun said to drip my blood but....Oh well'
Abandoning the hesitant thoughts flooding my mind, I prick my thumb with a dagger. From the experiment I did inside this room, I learned that my body is really changing and it was becoming real. At first, even if I suffered any injury, there would be no blood oozing out. It will just display red lines, that is also applicable to any monsters I fought so far. However, it was now totally different. Blood flow from my body as well as the pain that comes with it as if it was really my physical body. It makes me wonder if this world and me was really real and not virtual.
Because it doesn't really affect me even if that was the case I just ignored it but to people who hates gore stuff, I can only offer them a prayer~
Plop!
After a while, there was no reaction. Seeing this, a bitter smile formed from my mouth. 'See, just like you there is also no reaction.' Thinking about what Borun, I quietly lamented in my heart. But then suddenly.....
The book trembled and let out a very dazzling golden light as it filled the whole room.
Cling! Clang! Sounds of metal chains unlocking can be heard. I almost couldn't open my eyes due to the strong light.
When the light finally subsided, a pitch black book appeared. It's chains vanish leaving only a single small chain. Then a Notification Window appeared.
Special Hidden Class!
If you accept it, you can use exclusive skills related to the nature of the class. Do you want to convert now?
