Dungeon Maker

Chapter 150 Mammon’s Legacy 1

This time, he felt different when he accessed the virtual space of the Dungeon Market.

This time, he felt somewhat different when he passed through the secret passage to the arena.

The feeling when the water of Scathach's life covered his whole body.

The moment he felt it, he lost consciousness. When he opened his eyes again, completely different senses dominated his whole body.

Time has passed. He could recognize it. He only closed and opened his eyes, but there was definitely something in between.

Yong-ho breathed. He quickly regained the sensation of his whole body. He felt the warmth and softness at his fingertips.

Regardless of who was the first, Yong-ho raised his upper body almost at the same time as Catalina. Sitting down, they looked back, as if they promised to do so.

Their mana was swirling. It looked like he was seeing the distortion created inside the dungeon.

The twist that sprinkled a brilliant light naturally became smaller and fixed at the size of a small tennis ball. Only then could Yong-ho afford to look around.

He opened his mouth wide open. It was foreign and familiar to him. It was strangely unfamiliar to him because almost all of the large furniture such as the bed and desk disappeared, but it was definitely Yong-ho's own room. The wallpaper and ceiling he was used to seeing for the past ten years proved that it was his room.

He was back. This was Earth, the human world.

Perhaps, since he realized he was back to his home, he felt that even the air was different.

He could hardly see the flow of the demon world, which he always saw in the demon world by concentrating his consciousness. In fact, he was freed from the demon world now.

"It's my home," he said.

Catalina looked around, flapping her ears slightly. When she first took him, she couldn't afford to look around because she took him only in haste.

He couldn't pay much attention to her. He suddenly rose from his seat and shouted again.

"My home!"

The smell of the room he missed so much tickled his nose. In fact, there was nothing special that he could smell in the room, but he was touched anyway.

He quickly opened the door and shouted instinctively, "Dad! Son is back! Dad!"

But he heard no answer from his father. There was no one in the living room.

Catalina said cautiously, "There seems to be no one in this house right now."

Actually, she was much better at sensing human presence than him.

He nodded. Come to think of it, it was natural there was nobody at home at this time.

'I think Daddy went to work. Chicken house. Our family business.'

Moreover, when Catalina and Eligos kidnapped him, they did something else. They said they left a letter he prepared carefully in the human world. Of course, it was a letter with translation magic, so that people in the human world could understand it even if they didn't know the language of the demon world.

'Since your son has the talent of a demon king, we are inviting him as the master of the House of Mammon.'

That was what was written in the letter, according to Eligos and Catalina.

If the letter had been found in another house, his father might have suspected that his son, who was in delusion, left a strange letter before leaving the house, but Yong-ho's house was special. Maybe his father might have been happy to learn that his son finally carried out his determination.

'Um, my father might have thought so.'

His father might have even thought that it should be him, not his son, that Eligos and Catalina should have taken.

Thinking about his father, Yong-ho calmed down. Although he was still excited, he could think about lots of other things.

He looked at Catalina. She was good. Her ears and tails flapped vigorously.

"Good."

After checking something out, which Catalina could not understand, Yong-ho looked back at himself. He first checked what he brought with him from the demon world.

His suit as the Demon King, reminiscent of a semi-suit, was neat. The magic field on his left arm was also kept well in the form of gloves, and the flame bracelet, another form of Aamon, was kept in good shape.

He injected a little mana into Aamon. As if to respond, there was a faint green flame around the bracelet. He could feel Aamon.

Next, he opened the leather pocket on his waist. It was barely the size of a fist, but what was inside was special. It was full of items that seemed expensive at the first glance.

It was the human world without the Dungeon Market. Although he was going to stay here for a few days, he didn't want to be financially pinched as the Demon King. Besides, he wanted to make fortune for his father.

If he could have his way, he wanted to bring much more than now. However, since he spent so much money for the fight against Embrio, there weren't many cash assets he could bring immediately.

'How fortunate!'

Not only Catalina and Eligos, but also Ophelia did not know well about the movement between the two different worlds through the door of space. Even wizard Tigrius and Burgrim, who experienced moving between the two different worlds knew little about this field.

What Yong-ho knew for sure was that all kinds of electronic devices, such as a computer and cell phone that he carried with him when he was first taken to the demon world were destroyed. Besides, those with a fairly complex internal structure among the items in the desk drawer were ruined without exception.

On the other hand, the clothes Yong-ho himself wore were intact. As a result, he took the gold and silver jewels under the assumption that those with simple structure would be okay. Fortunately, his prediction was correct.

After breathing a sigh of relief, Yong-ho looked back at the place where the twist of mana happened. He recalled something that came to his mind when he witnessed the gentle spreading of mana that leaked out like reverberation.

"By the way, Catalina."

"Yes, Master."

"What were you going to do about me in the first place?"

"Pardon?"

He slightly scratched the back of his neck. He didn't intend to question her about his kidnapping now. After experiencing the movement between the two worlds, however, he wanted to ask her. Moving between the two worlds wasn't far from normal. The amount of mana spent making the door of space was truly enormous.

It might sound ridiculous, but Yong-ho himself made rapid growth beyond everyone's expectations. There was a reason why Tigrius called him a man with a miraculous growth after seeing him.

That was why he could create the door of space.

But what would have happened if Yong-ho himself did not have the sin of greed?

Could he have achieved the same growth as now?

It was questionable whether he could have managed to move between the two worlds even if he had not been defeated by the master of a house like Poras.

The reason he came to the human world now was because he needed to visit once.

Of course, he didn't have to come 'now.'

Eligos explained why Yong-ho should visit the human world. According to him, since Yong-ho was from the human world, he needed to be exposed to the atmosphere of the human world on a regular basis. Otherwise, his power could be weakened.

However, to examine his explanation a little further, it was somewhat different from what Yong-ho first thought.

In fact, anyone didn't have to visit the human world by all means just because he was from it. Those who could handle mana from the time they first entered the demon world actually did not have to visit the human world.

Yong-ho himself was now a very powerful demon king. Despite that, however, he needed to visit the human world once. It was because his mana was weak when he moved from the human world to the demon world, and his ability to control mana was also poor.

In other words, regardless of how strong he became after entering the demon world, the amount of mana and his ability to control it at the time of moving between the two worlds determined the frequency or necessity of his revisiting.

It was a rather strange phenomenon. It seemed more like an artificial concept of 'permission' rather than a natural phenomenon.

It was like the situation where the length of one's stay in a foreign country differed, depending on what kind of visa one received when receiving one's entry or exit visa.

'It seems that there is an alien world with no restrictions like this.'

In any case, it was true that Yong-ho needed to visit his hometown once. And after this visit, he wouldn't have to revisit the human world for the next hundreds of years. Maybe the time limit itself would disappear because Yong-ho himself became that much stronger.

However, Yong-ho was still in doubt when he recalled his first kidnapping.

In what way did Catalina and Eligos think about having Yong-ho go back home?

The two didn't even know that Yong-ho himself had the sin of greed, and they didn't expect he would make such a rapid growth.

Did they take him to the demon world without any plan just because they wanted to satisfy their pressing needs?

Besides, Yong-ho had one more question.

Eligos clearly said that he would use all of the remaining mana of the House of Mammon to open the door of space.

When he experienced it, however, he wondered if it was possible.

The House of Mammon at the time was really on the verge of ruin. They might have had a very small amount of mana by then?

Until now, Yong-ho deliberately held the urge to ask this kind of question, but he had no other choice but to ask now.

When Yong-ho narrated his questions one by one, Catalina curled her lips.

After her ears drooped several times, she looked at his face and said very carefully, "There was a scroll."

"Scroll?"

"Yes, it was one of the few legacies that had been inherited to the House of Mammon without being lost. I and the butler collected mana to operate the scroll."

Generally speaking, the magic of an ordinary scroll was supposed to be triggered by mana built into the scroll itself. However, since she mentioned she needed to get more mana, the scroll certainly didn't seem to be an ordinary one.

"How many scrolls were there at the time?"

"Well… just one. Still, it was useful. When I opened the door of space with this scroll, I could engrave a magic circle in the room of the demon king. So, I thought I could open it again at least once with the help of a famous wizard or the Dungeon Market or make the door of space like now!"

It was what Yong-ho thought it was.

Instead of getting angry, he pinched Catalina's cheeks painfully. He felt upset that she called him without any contingency plan, but she and Eligos were so desperate at that time.

Regardless of the process, however, Yong-ho chose the path to become the master of the Mammon House.

When she looked like she was going to cry, feeling sorry, he found her long face so cute that he could not let go of her hand easily.

He felt like he learned something dangerous just like when he first touched her tail.

"Hmmm. Let me ask you one more. How did you find me?"

At first, he didn't pay much attention to it, but he felt it was a little weird when he thought about this. He couldn't even understand why he had not been curious until now.

Gently rubbing her red cheeks, Catalina replied, "Well, the scroll itself was not intended to open the door of space but find and bring someone suitable for the master of the Mammon House. Two candidates from the Mammon House were identified by the scroll, but only you had the ability to become the master."

"The other one was my father?"

"Yeah. Perhaps, the person that the scroll found was you. It seemed that your father was spotted because he was near you. I can confess it to you only now, but little did I think I was connected to the human world like this."

"I see."

Yong-ho roughly understood the whole situation, but other questions came to his mind.

Why did Mammon come to this place, Yong-ho's own hometown?

And what was the difference between the human world and other alien worlds, such as Burgrim or Baphomet's hometown?
