Chapter 1389

<Episode 1389> 1389. Spirit’s Atlantis

Three months had passed.

During that time, I was super busy with activities in the A-Plan Legion. Resolving conflicts with other sector legions, clearing newly discovered dungeons, and boosting my stats through training made those three months feel like just one.

Once A-Plan Legion’s schedule wrapped up, we finally had some free time for personal stuff.

Kang Myung-Jin, the master of A-Plan Legion, suddenly disappeared somewhere. It wasn’t unusual—Kang Myung-Jin occasionally did solo activities.

“Hmm… He probably went to level up based on info from the original story. Or maybe he’s hunting for weapons or items.”

Kang Myung-Jin was excessively diligent. I’ve never seen him take a proper break.

“I don’t think there’s even a scene in the original where Kang Myung-Jin rests…”

Anyway, the important thing is that we now have some downtime.

It’s finally time for me to tackle something I’ve been putting off.

“The Hephaestus mission can’t be delayed forever.”

I wasn’t completely idle during this period. Between tasks at A-Plan Legion, I investigated special furnaces.

But the results were far from promising.

Because, across the vast continent of Atlantis, only two known special furnaces existed.

The magic furnace is owned by Olphes, a massive legion. Since the entire legion manages it intensively, it’d be nearly impossible for me to use it personally.

Borrowing the magic furnace for a day? That would require an absurd amount of money. Besides, Olphes Legion has no reason to cooperate with me. I heard that operating the magic furnace requires meeting specific conditions anyway.

“Then there’s the Hell Furnace. Which isn’t owned by anyone… but still.”

The Hell Furnace is located in the Hell Zone. So, using it means going back to the Hell Zone.

“Go through all that suffering just to return to Hell? Are you kidding me?”

Even worse, I don’t know the exact location of the Hell Furnace. To find it, I’d have to wander around the Hell Zone… which is practically suicidal.

“Getting into the Hell Zone itself is already problematic. Forget it, I’m abandoning the Hell Furnace.”

So, after all that, I’m back to square one.

“I can’t solve this alone.”

Elena came to mind first. With her help, this might be easily resolved.

“But forcing her to become an idol was already bad enough. I can’t ask for more help.”

Next, I thought of Kang Myung-Jin. As a workaholic genius, he might know something I don’t.

“It’s too late to ask him now. I don’t even know where he is. Plus, if I ask Kang Myung-Jin for help… he might start suspecting me. Smart guy like him needs careful handling.”

I need another approach.

Someone who has the ability to help me.

“Oh right, I forgot where I belong for a moment.”

I am Sung Yoojin of A-Plan Legion, and part of Heltan…


It turned out that I was also a cadre of the Demon Horse.

“Let’s use Hellten.”

Having become a Demon Horse, I left the Aefplan Legion and met Samuel, the boss of Hellten. Since he happened to be near the Aefplan Legion, it wasn’t difficult to meet him.

Samuel was investigating ancient ruins as an archaeologist in a nearby village. Archaeology is one of his public identities.

“It’s been a while, Demon Horse. I’ve heard rumors that the Demon Horse Cult is flourishing day by day. Congratulations.”

“Demon Horse Cult? Oh.”

For a moment, I wondered what Samuel was talking about, but then I remembered that I had established a faction, which I had forgotten about because I hadn’t been to the western sector for a long time.

“You forgot? My goodness… The Master of the Demon Horse Cult Legion seems rather indifferent.”

“I plan to visit soon.”

It wasn’t surprising that Samuel knew about the Demon Horse Cult. He’s always like this. In the original story, he plays a role similar to the main antagonist.

This means he knows most of Atlantis’s significant information.

“The Demon Horse Cult. Not a bad faction. Take good care of it; it will be helpful later.”

“I’ll handle it myself.”

“Neglecting it and expecting it to run on its own… Well, it’s not my business to interfere. Did you come here to ask me something? What do you want to know?”

“I came to ask about special furnaces… Who’s the woman behind you?”

I looked behind Samuel. There was a woman leaning against a wooden wall, wearing a black robe and a white faceless mask. Her entire body was covered, and all I could see were her two eyes through the holes in the mask. I called her a woman based on intuition.

“She’s new. Her name is White. I can’t tell you her identity. But since you’re a reincarnator, you must already know who White is?”

“…”

I don’t.

“In the original story, Samuel appears in the late stages. So it’s not strange that there’s a woman with him now.”

I don’t know everything about Samuel’s past.

“…Considering my interference might have altered the original plot, but in my opinion, the identity of that woman is…”

I didn’t jump to conclusions about White’s identity. It’s better to proceed cautiously in matters like these. Even if I were certain about White’s identity, there’s nothing I could do immediately.

“You said you’re looking for a special furnace, right? Have you heard of the Magic Dragon Furnace and the Hell Furnace?”

“I’ve done basic research. The Magic Dragon Furnace is owned by the Olphise Legion, and the Hell Furnace is somewhere in the Hell Zone.”

“I’ll tell you the area where the Hell Furnace is located. There are two places that come to mind.”

“I don’t want to go to the Hell Zone again.”

“Is that so? The Hell Furnace would be quite useful if you had it… Hmm. The Ancient Furnace is at the bottom of the deep sea, so retrieving it immediately isn’t possible. We’ll have to build our own special furnace.”

“…You’re telling me to construct a special furnace? If it were easy, large Legions would already own special furnaces by default.”

“Large Legions don’t create special furnaces because they lack the design plans. If you have the design plans, money, and people, you can definitely build a special furnace.”

“…By any chance, do you have the design plans for a special furnace?”

“No, but I know someone who does. Go see Glitter. Oh, do you know who Glitter is?”

Glitter.

A cadre of Hellten.

Her real name is Har Mo. Known by the nickname “The Merchant Prince of the West,” she’s a wealthy businessman who controls the economy of the western region of Atlantis. They say jokingly that she owns a well that produces gold, meaning she’s extremely rich.

“Are you suggesting I trade with The Merchant Prince of the West?”


“Shit. Not much money on me.”

“If a returnee doesn’t have money… I can’t believe that nonsense. If I returned, I would’ve gathered money first. And you wouldn’t have to worry about money like this. Since the flashy one probably won’t ask you for money.”

“Do you know what he’ll ask for?”

“Hmm.”

He chuckled suspiciously.

I frowned but soon relaxed my expression and turned my body. Anyway, I got information about the special furnace.

As I was about to leave home, Samuel called me.

“Heaven’s Horse.”

“Speak.”

“I’m counting on you. You’re going to be an important key to our purpose. It’s just a hunch, though.”

“…”

Sector 8,111. The pyramid underground.

It’s been really long since I’ve returned to Sector 8,111. Even though it’s where my women stay, I haven’t visited often recently due to various reasons. Since there are also many of my women in the E-Applan Legion, there hasn’t been a need to visit frequently.

In short, I completely forgot about it.

Entering the pyramid.

“…Huh?”

The inside had changed.

The pyramid I knew should’ve had desolate walls and corridors right from the entrance. But now, white wallpaper was stuck on the walls, marble was laid on the floor, and LED fluorescent lights shone from the ceiling. There were even artworks hanging on the walls.

“It feels more like a place where people live.”

Thinking nothing of it, I went inside.

The internal structure had also changed somewhat. Walls were demolished, rooms were created, and doors were installed. When I opened a room, most of them were empty.

Click. Thinking it would be empty again, I opened the door.

A woman sleeping on the bed woke up at the sound. A beautiful lady with long indigo hair and blue eyes. She had long legs and a voluptuous chest. She rubbed her still-closed eyes sleepily and spoke.

“I’m up. I said I’m up… stop nagging, Ok… Jung..?”

Princess Yonggil’s eyes suddenly widened.

“It’s been a while, Princess Yonggil. Lazing around even in broad daylight, huh.”

“You, you! Why did you suddenly come here?!”

“What’s so strange about me coming to my own sector? It’s been a while… shall we do something?”

“Get out!”

Princess Yonggil threw a pillow at me. Her arrogant attitude made me feel good.

‘I knew she’d react like this. Now I have a reason to punish her… fitting for a ‘Bidet Princess’ nickname, let her suck on my ass.’

I threw the pillow back at Princess Yonggil.

“Ack!”

She fell onto her bed after getting hit in the face with the pillow, thanks to the mana I infused into it.

“I’ll take a look around the pyramid once, so just wait here.”

“You…!”

Bang!

Before Princess Yonggil could say anything, I slammed the door shut and headed upstairs in the pyramid.

I arrived at what seemed to be a dining area. There was a kitchen next to it where someone was cooking.

The woman had white hair and red eyes. She was small, standing at 150cm, but her chest and butt were quite large. This was Ok-Jung, who voluntarily acted as Princess Yonggil’s attendant. As soon as she saw me, she was startled and dropped the ladle she was holding.

“Ch, Chief Cheonma?!”

“It’s been a while. Are you already preparing dinner?”

“The dish I’m making today requires a lot of work… b, but that’s not the point. Are you really back?”

“I’ve already seen Bidet Princess. Where’s Kashya?”

“Kashya will return a little later.”

“Is that so? Since I have nothing to do… how about some sex?”

“Without meeting Lady Bathory and Ersia?”

“Bathory? I can meet her later. By the way, who’s Ersia?”

“A, you don’t know her yet. Ersia is…”

Before she could finish speaking, someone came running into the dining area.

“Ok-Jung-nee! Can I have a glass of milk… yo…?”

A pale-skinned girl with black hair looked at me with wide red eyes.

“Dad?”
