I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul 204

Episode 2

“Me? why? Oh, you received the Earth as a reward? I don’t really want to do anything. I received it as compensation, but it makes no sense to take care of the Earth myself. “I don’t even manage the dungeons I own in the first place, right?”

“Well, I guess I’ll have to do it from now on.”

“why?”

Instead of answering, Eundam Yoo smiled meaningfully.

To be honest, I didn’t have much of an idea about what was to come.

Because just a few hours ago, I fought a predator and saved the world.

That was enough.

Compared to this, I didn’t think it would be very serious unless something serious happened.

“…Anyway, I need to get some rest today. And starting tomorrow, I will look at the records diligently and let you know when they are roughly organized. “Hmm, I need to get ready for everyday life again.”

“Is it really possible?”

Yu Eundam smiled brightly again and spoke quietly. It’s a bit disgusting to see him smiling like a fox.

In response to that expression, Seo Ji-han’s eyes became fierce.

“Well, I agree that you need to get some rest. You’ve been busy so far. However, it would be better not to expect that other countries will naturally agree in a good direction.”

“What if I don’t? Would you like to go to war?”

“That could be true.”

“no way. The world was on the verge of destruction just now, so you’re just going to leave like that? Since everyone has experienced a crisis, they must have felt the value of life. Moreover, how many cities were destroyed on the eve of the festival? “Wouldn’t we focus on our own situation while rebuilding the damage?”

“Hmm. “Do you really think so?”

no.

In fact, rather than thinking that way, it’s closer to wishing that was the case.

But it’s more likely than not… No. Wouldn’t it still be handled well?

Until now, I’ve been so busy that I haven’t been able to rest properly.

So, I wanted to avoid the idea that there would be a lot of work left in the future as much as possible.

“Anyway, for now, let’s toast!”

Trying to ignore my ominous premonition, I raised my beer high.

But soon my hopes were dashed and dissipated.

* * *

“Hmm…”

I skimmed the newspaper in my hand, feeling frustrated.

This is today’s world’s main article compiled by Eundam Yoo.

Even though you can view it right away on your phone, Eundam Yoo kindly made a paper summary of major news and placed it on the table every morning.

As if showing off.

It’s been five days since Yoo Eundam called himself a newspaper delivery man.

There wasn’t much for the first day or two.

Most of the articles were speculative articles exploring the identity of extinct predators.

It seems that the information I officially revealed in front of the dungeon representatives from each country has been decided to be kept secret.

Other than that, ‘Has all the threat really gone?’ or ‘Was Son Mo-ah really a hero?’ A lot of conspiratorial articles have appeared, such as ‘The threat of the predator is a big picture for Son Mo-ah’s dungeon robbery’.

Among them, there was an article expressing joy that the threat had completely disappeared, which made me feel proud.

However, as time passed, the atmosphere began to change.

From the evening of the second day, articles with a somewhat subtle tone began to flow out.

This morning, the 5th day, we began to explicitly discuss the ownership of the dungeon and the future battle for interest.

It’s also fast.

I thought I would spend at least a month in joy…

“There are a lot of references to Korea in foreign media.”

Eundam Yoo checked the article I was reading and added a comment as if he was subtly helping me.

Seo Ji-han glared at him for a moment as if he didn’t like it, but didn’t really interfere.

“I guess so. Because the only dungeon left on Earth right now is off the coast of Dokdo. “There is no way I can leave out this topic.”

I sighed, feeling half-given.

I don’t even want to check the Korean article, but it’s not a problem that can be solved by continuing to pretend not to know.

Ranking No. 1: Son Moa’s lack of responsibility.

Korea’s future is not even visible in the international situation. Where are the parties involved?

Each country says, ‘We will hold Korea responsible for the disappearance of the dungeon…’ Son Mo-ah said, “No news.”

Son Moa, who says she doesn’t know her country. Korea is in trouble. Is Daehan Guild a scapegoat?

As I was blinking at the article title, a hand suddenly came from beside me and snatched the paper away.

It was Seo Ji-han with a very uncomfortable expression.

“Yoo Eundam. “Why do you keep bringing these things?”

“lol.”

“Don’t equivocate. “You ruined my mood by collecting it from the morning.”

Seo Ji-han, why don’t you put down the ladle in your hand? There’s no atmosphere at all.

Moreover, it looks like Eundam is trying hard to hold back his laughter when he sees that…

I sneak in while watching the bone broth dripping from the ladle in his hand.

“No, I’m fine.”

“But you don’t look good…”

“Actually, I expected it to be like this.”

In the first place, ‘Son Moa saved the Earth! The pride of Korea!’ I didn’t expect anything like this,

but…

“I thought you’d be a little grateful, even if you’re not proud of it.”

He muttered bitterly, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly calmed down.

“Of course! I’m grateful! Sister, here. Look at this. This.”

Yoo Eun-dam, looking a little embarrassed, suddenly looked through his inventory and held out a few pieces of paper.

When I took it, I saw that it had been printed with internet comments. It was

full of tips and thank yous from Korean citizens I had saved and survivors from various countries.

They may have translated comments from overseas, so both the original text and the translated text were written together.

“When did you prepare all this? I thought you only brought articles…”

Instead of answering my question, Eundam Yoo just grinned.

“It’s not just this. I won’t show it to my sister, but I’m collecting all the negative comments and malicious articles she’s received. “We are receiving reports from all over.”

“why?”

“In case you need it sometime in the future?”

At that remark, Seo Ji-han, who had been adding salt to the soup, looked back and his eyes lit up.

The two exchange meaningful glances and even nod their heads.

“Well, I mean sister.”

“huh?”

“Are you going to stay quiet even in this situation? yes?”

I sighed inwardly.

I didn’t intend to stay away forever.

I just wanted to take some time off as I just finished a big job.

But looking at the atmosphere, it seems like it will be very difficult.

Hunters are being called to lift the Dokdo barrier.

Coordinate with UN Korea to regain ownership of dungeons in each country.

Dungeons located in Korea need to be managed internationally.

A meeting to determine who will manage the dungeon will be held within this month at the earliest.

A fierce battle between major powers is expected over ownership of the Korean dungeon.

Are you saying that you will lift the sanctuary barrier in front of Dokdo and take control of the dungeon? In many ways, the content is very scandalous.

First of all, the dungeon is within Korean territory, so of course it belongs to Korea, but everyone seems to be deliberately ignoring that.

And strictly speaking, that dungeon is not Korean property, but mine.

What kind of bullshit is this, discussing ownership of something that clearly has an owner?

“They say they will coordinate with Korea to regain ownership of the dungeon, but what is this fierce battle between powerful countries? “It’s not a ploy, it’s just a threat.”

Ban Seo-jin slightly tilted his head to check the paper I had left on the table and snorted as if he was shocked.

I felt the same way.

“The hunters must have seen the system message pop up after killing the predator, so they probably aren’t doing this because they think I’m dead. If they’re doing this when they clearly know I’m alive, they’re either completely ignoring me, or…” Yoo Eun-dam spits with an excited face

. I swallowed hard and waited for my next words.

I smiled brightly.

“Or, you think that if you form public opinion in advance and nail it to the ground, a single hunter won’t be able to do anything, right?”

“That’s it!”

Eundam Yoo cheered, jumping up and down in his place.

I still don’t know why he likes it so much, but anyway, that dungeon is mine.

And this earth is also mine.

I know they can’t take it away anyway, but they give other people’s things to themselves. It didn’t feel good to see people saying they would take it for nothing.

A conference on dungeon ownership will be held in Korea as early as next month.

I ran my hand over a few lines of the title of the article and narrowed my eyes.

“By creating public opinion so that this side will be criticized .” “I’m so used to the method of suppressing the momentum now.”

“Then, sister…”

“Okay. Let’s move. “It’s good to take a break, but when I think about it, I feel like the people who caused the accident aren’t completely sorted out yet.”

“oh!”

“And I also have some concerns.”

In the final hall, many kings trusted me and handed over their territories and power.

I have an obligation to repay their trust.

At least since I am their king, I need to prevent others from recklessly entering my land and plundering it.

“Are you worried?”

“If I leave it like this, you could come into my dungeon and harm people like Mr. Elfanis. “It may not be possible right now, but we can’t continue to ignore it like this.”

“Of course, that’s true.”

“I have to go too. This meeting.”

I’m going to discuss my dungeon, but I can’t be left out.

I looked back at Seo Ji-han, who was stirring the soup, Ban Seo-jin, who was half asleep, and Yu Eun-dam, whose eyes were filled with anticipation, and then spoke firmly.

“I have to go and tell you. And who the owner of this dungeon is.”

“and?”

Yoo Eun-dam swallowed hard and swallowed my words.

“What kind of person is that individual hunter?”
