How a Calamity Necromancer Retires

-Ding-dong!

At the sound of the doorbell, I stretched out and said.

“Aww! Is it time to go to work already?”

I currently have 11 transportable skeletons in all three versions.

The average income per transport skeleton was about 300,000 won, so the total was about 3.3 million won a day.

Of course, I could earn more if I decided to rent it out at the gate, but that’s impossible because it far exceeds my upper limit of effort… Anyway, 3.3 million won might feel like a lot for someone, but I, who had put an enormous amount of money in the sub-space, was completely unsatisfied with it.

“I barely earn this and when will I retire?”

I am the greatest necromancer without precedent in the history of the Seron continent.

What this means is that, since there is no precedent, I have no idea how old I will live until I die.

So, when I returned to Earth, I prepared by robbing the empire’s barn… Well, that has already disappeared, and since you don’t know how long your lifespan will be, you should prepare for retirement as much as possible.

“Let’s just earn a few trillion. Or make tens of billions of dollars into your bank account every month.”

So, this is the goal I have set.

A minimum goal to live a life of luxury without any worries for the rest of your life.

So, I decided to increase the number of transportable skeletons little by little while keeping an eye on them…

The problem is that the Awakeners at the gate I go to work have already had a taste for transportable skeletons and bring all the corpses in whole with the mindset that it would be beneficial to catch even one more monster corpse during the time to capture it, so there is no way to live by picking only the bones.

Of course, it is also possible to rapidly decay the corpse so that only the bones rise, and if you do that, you can use more morale to create a stronger skeleton, but that will cost you a lot of money and, above all, the post-processing will be cumbersome.

It’s enough to throw away the rotten flesh anywhere on the battlefield, but that’s impossible here.

So, the method I chose was…

Bang!

“CEO Han Ji-hyeok! That’s me! President Park!”

The person who calls me by name is President Park, a small merchant who came on a business trip in front of the gate when I was hunting.

As soon as I opened the door, President Park smiled brightly and said.

“Delivery is here!”

It made President Park change his business from business trips to delivery.

Every day, I stop by the by-product market to collect fresh bones that have just been hunted without missing parts as much as possible and deliver them to me every morning.

“They are all fresh bastards we hunted yesterday.”

Magic is what moves the undead, but the power source that makes them move is the morale that remains in the corpse.

And this morale quickly escapes from the moment the creature dies, but among them, bones remain the longest.

That’s why Necromancers mainly used skeletons made of bones.

I examined the morale of the bones and said with a satisfied expression.

“It’s fresh.”

The energy of a recently deceased lion.

It feels like a lot of fraud.

Only when this morale is full can a stronger skeleton be created.

And stronger skeletons can lift more loads, as well as being stronger.

“Thank you for your effort. How much is it?”

“yes. I paid 1.7 million won for everything.”

At first, I just picked a merchant who seemed to be doing poorly in business, but President Park, who doesn’t know how to lie and is sincere, fell in love with me in many ways.

So, if you just tell me the original price, I decided to hand it over with a margin.

“I’ll give you two million won.”

I count the money to give to President Park from the bag next to me, but suddenly even this becomes a nuisance.

“I’ll just give you 500 at a time, so why don’t you go there?”

Then President Park said with a smile that he seemed to have understood me roughly while working together.

“That’s a little burdensome for me, so how about paying only once every three days?”

“no way. That’s not it.”

It’s about doing a bill deal, but I know better than anyone else how annoying it is for B.

It’s because I’ve been fighting for 30 years believing in one promise to send it to Earth.

I took out 500 from my bag and said as I held it out.

“Here, 500. Tell me when you run out.”

At my words, President Park finally accepted the money and said.

“I will serve you honestly and faithfully!”

I said with a thumbs up.

“exorcism.”

That’s how I sent President Park back, microwaved frozen kimchi fried rice for a simple breakfast, and started making a transportable skeleton in earnest.

This is because it works best when it is fresh.

Weeing~.

Using the sound of the microwave oven as the background sound, I rub my still unawakened eyes and raise my hand as I raise my hand, and the bones start to take shape as they stick together.

“Huh.”

I was the one who commanded hundreds of thousands of undead.

Of course, this kind of work is not a job.

In an instant, I created three new transportable skeleton MK.2s, and I summoned subspace to copy commands and took out one MK.2 I had kept for backup.

“Copy the command.”

In this way, the same magic commands stored in the backup that were taken out of the subspace are copied and applied to the new third machine.

This completes 3 new MK.2s that will give you money starting today.

Now my income will increase by 3 more.

ding.

And the frozen kimchi fried rice that was completed at the same time.

“Get some money~. Come earn money.”

I said as I took the kimchi fried rice out of the microwave.

“under. I want to retire soon.”

*

If you increase the transport type skeleton, the income you increase will be inflated.

When it comes to production costs, the bones are everything, but the cost was almost 200,000 won for two days’ wages for a transportable skeleton.

Of course, that’s how much my magic power is consumed, but I was one of the top wizards in Seron, excluding the undead army.

This amount of mana consumption is quickly restored by closing your eyes and resting for a while.

Anyway, I had been running the rental business so smoothly, and finally today I had to move to another business.

“It’s coming to an end soon!”

“Get ready guys!”

A gate that has reached a critical point vomits up all remaining monsters in the gate and disappears.

And the critical point of the gate where I kept going to work is today.

I licked my lips and said.

“A day like this should be avoided.”

Transport Skeletons are always necessary porters for long distances.

In other words, it is of no use at the gate where monsters are spit out after reaching the critical point.

“Come out!”

At that time, along with the cry of the Awakener, the gate indiscriminately spews out the remaining monsters at a tremendous speed.

“Kill!”

The battle between the monsters and the Awakeners began like that.

I looked at the scene indifferently, then opened the subspace and took out the transportable skeletons and some skeletons made for chores and ordered them.

“Take it.”

Then, the skeletons for chores load the stalls, parasols, and recently purchased recliner sofas made of the finest leather onto the transportable skeletons.

While preparing to evict, the awakened people who had finished all the hunting began to speak in disappointed voices.

“what.”

“I came to finish off the water, but there isn’t much?”

“Did you hunt that much?”

The look of the Awoken who seemed very disappointed.

From nob le mtl dot com

Maybe it’s because they kept wandering around without taking time to capture thanks to the transporter skeleton?

Well… hunting is not my business.

I looked at the transporter skeleton for a while and said.

“I am tired of walking. Shall we go for a ride?”

There is quite a distance to the gate I set as my next target.

They said that you shouldn’t summon a summoned beast in the city, but since this is a place where people are rare, wouldn’t it matter?

Besides, just by looking at them, they’re guys with no fighting power whatsoever.

After thinking about it for a while, I took out a brand new transportable skeleton that I hadn’t used yet, and then climbed up and lay down on the blanket I had prepared on the bone basket.

“Let’s just ride.”

If you say something, you can bring it back in then.

At that time, a team of Awoken who had finished hunting came up to me and said.

“president!”

The word that he is the boss who has completely settled in people’s mouths before they know it.

“Yeah.”

“Which way are you going?”

“I’m going to the gate on the nearby mountain.”

“Then we will go together. The end of the critical point is worse than I thought, so I think I need to hunt a little more. When you arrive, rent the MK.2 first.”

As soon as the first reservation guest came out, other Awoken teams approached.

“Me too!”

“Reservation for two MK.2s!”

Then I’m fine.

“Reservation accepted. Let’s start.”

As the Awakeners began to move towards the East Gate next door, I tapped the transport skeleton and said,

“Follow me.”

Then, the transporter skeleton waddled along followed the Awoken, and behind it, the transporter skeleton carrying things like my stall also followed.

“and. Something like that will work.”

“Does it look interesting?”

However, unlike the reactions of those awakened people, I was frowning at the poor riding comfort of the transport skeleton.

“ah! ah!”

Since this is a hill, whenever I move, my whole body collides with hard bones with a thin blanket in between.

“The ride is the worst.”

I miss the palanquin I used to ride in Seron so much.

But what difference does it make if you miss something you don’t already have?

You have to adapt as much as possible to the current situation.

I created a magic circle after recalling as many commands as possible from the skeletons driving my palanquin.

“A little softer. Recoil is a bit weaker. You have to balance, balance.”

It injects dozens of commands in less than a few minutes.

Then, like a car suspension, the transporter skeleton automatically adjusts the position of the basket according to the movement and starts to walk lightly.

I said with a satisfied expression.

“It’s worth using now.”

Although it falls far short of a palanquin, it is still enough to comfortably lie down and move around.

I quietly closed my eyes and said.

“Cover it.”

Then, a transportable skeleton that covered the cover and made an awning.

I said, closing my eyes.

“Let’s go, to the next business.”

*

I settled down again at that new gate.

Business was booming this time too.

Even Awakeners who were famous and active elsewhere came to this gate.

Every morning, a new carrying skeleton is created, and the income increases accordingly.

However, it wasn’t long before I realized the limitations of this method.

“…remaining?”

Skeletons remain.

I leaned back on the recliner sofa for a moment and looked blankly at the sky.

“but. Not worth it.”

The number of monsters in the gate is not infinite.

Of course, there is a limit to the number of Awakeners who earn money by hunting those monsters.

No matter how efficient the transport type skeleton was, it was of no use if there were no monsters.

“It’s a crisis.”

Don’t just blindly increase it.

Now I have to reach out to other gates as well.

But how?

“Should I leave part-time job?”

But isn’t Alba able to use magic like me to make temporary imprints so that transport skeletons can follow the Awoken people?

“This is a headache.”

Workers need to roll continuously to make money.

“Is there any better way?”

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered the transportable skeleton I rode a while ago.

“uh? wait for a sec.”

Something sparks an idea.

I said with my eyes shining.

“This, if you combine it well with the human porter…”

*

A burly porter looked at Han Ji-hyeok, who seemed to be contemplating something at the newsstand, and said.

“I’m completely pushed.”

Then the fellow porter shook his head and said,

“Everyone is looking for that bone, and they don’t want to hire a porter. Chansu, let’s just go to another gate.”

Kang Chan-soo, a porter with a sturdy physique, sighed and said,

“ha. This is the closest one.”

After thinking for a while, Chansu said.

“You don’t seem like a bad person, but how about asking a favor?”

“ask?”

“I’m asking you to match the price, even if it’s similar.”

A transportable skeleton at 1/3 the price of a regular courier.

It was impossible to compete on price.

“Would that be? Wouldn’t it be quicker if we just went somewhere else?”

Chansu said with a troubled expression.

“It’s not like that because that’s not the solution. look.”

Changu pointed to the transportable skeletons lined up behind Han Jihyeok and said.

“You stayed. What is it that remains like that even after lending everything? It means that they may advance to other nearby gates in the near future. How far are you going to keep pushing and pushing like this?”

Then a porter with a stern expression approached and said,

“It’s been a while since you said something right.”

Chansu frowned at the appearance of a voice he didn’t want to hear.

“Kim Yonggi.”

Kim Yong-ki, who is notorious for uniting porters and territorializing other porters and monopolizing their work, appears.

Kim Yong-gi glared at Han Ji-hyeok and said.

“If we continue like this, we might all be pushed out of this area.”

“It will be you, not us. Since when did you guys care so much about other porters?”

Then, Kim Yong-gi smiled and said.

“Anyway, you admit that it’s a crisis, right?”

“…that’s right. So, I was going to ask you a favor.”

“No, no. ask? Can something like that work? I hear that person is F-class? It is also a summoning system.”

“You know that when you see it.”

“By the way, you’re using all your summoned beasts as porters? How weak I am, I will give up fighting and earn money like that.”

Then Chansu said with a puzzled expression.

“Are you sure you want to touch me now? Awoken?”

“Of course I am not stupid. No matter how weak, an Awoken is an Awoken. But did I really go out like this without a corner of faith?”

“A corner to believe in?”

“The Awoken people watching behind me were a bit angry. Even if you eat a flea’s liver, it’s still an oil fountain.”

Chan-soo finally understands the situation.

Kim Yong-gi has been mobilizing the porters by paying a bounty under the protection of the awakened people.

“Since the Awakened have decided to give it to you, you just quietly follow along and fill in the pages.”

Then, the porters who had been fighting against Kim Yong-gi’s gang with Chan-su hesitated and said,

“Isn’t that a bad suggestion?”

“what!?”

“They say we have to be paid 10,000 won per hour to compete with the bones he made, but does that make sense? If you’re going to get that money and go to the gate, just do a part-time job at a convenience store. The first one to break the rules is over there!”

Chansu said with a puzzled expression.

“Anyway, that’s not it! It can be solved with enough words!”

“Are you sure it will work?”

“That, that.”

“sorry. Let’s take a look at Kim Yong-gi.”

The porters who joined Kim Yong-gi’s hand in an instant.

Kim Yong-gi saw that and smiled.

“What should I do, all my friends have come this way. Anyway, if you change your mind, come visit me, I’ll give you plenty of work. Do you have good strength? hahahaha!”

Kim Yong-ki led the porters and rushed away.

Kang Chan-soo sighed and said.

“ha. Anyway, this isn’t it.”

Kang Chan-soo said with a bitter expression.

“Rather than that, shouldn’t we warn him that he’s going to be in danger?”

However, if he did that, he might be photographed by the Awakened who are looking after Kim Yong-gi’s back.

After thinking for a while, Kang Chan-soo said with a determined expression.

“okay. Anyway, violence is not right. First of all, I gave you a warning by secretly handing over a note…”

But then.

“Ohh?”

Kang Chan-soo was startled by the sudden voice from behind.

“What, what!”

“Will you give me a warning?”

That person was Han Ji-hyeok, the subject of the conversation until just now.

“Are you a good friend?”

“Yes, yes?!”

“Actually, I’ve been listening to it all before.”

Chansu said with a shocked expression.

“I, someone far away did that…”

“There are ways. Anyway, I hate digging traps with me. So, I was thinking about grinding everything…”

Han Ji-hyeok smiled and said.

“I came because it was admirable to say that.”

“Gi-Geuk?”

“Don’t you want to work part-time? Even if I wasn’t there, I was just trying to find a part-time job as a porter because I didn’t have enough workers. I’m trying to give you a fairly generous hourly wage.”

Kang Chan-soo, taken aback by Han Ji-hyeok’s sudden words, spoke.

“Do you know? What is that…”

Han Ji-hyeok, who talked about part-time jobs like that.

Kang Chan-soo, who heard the whole story, said with a bright smile.

“Are you sure? If that’s the case, all the other porters will be welcome!”

“Right? I’ve been thinking about it and this is the best. But surely the other porters aren’t the same people who just left to kill me?”

Chansu said in an urgent voice.

“It’s because they haven’t been able to keep working lately and don’t have enough money, they’re not bad people! Under these conditions, I can convince you! Really!”

“hmm. Originally, the guy who stabs me in the back will never look at me…”

Han Ji-hyeok sighed and said.

“ha. I know the sadness of not having money again.”

“yes?”

“Looking at your face, I’ll give you one more chance. instead······.”
