Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Quite some time had passed since the two guests visited Dam Han-ul for fortune-telling and left.
In other words, it was time for the results to come out.
“Hmm. This seems to be the place.”
Hwang Min-wook, who had been searching the middle of Mt. Taebaek for a tree with green leaves as Dam Han-ul had told him, discovered a flat land hidden between quite treacherous paths, and a strange place creating a mysterious atmosphere with a solitary tree standing tall there, gently scattering its green leaves.
A land with an atmosphere that perfectly matched the story Dam Han-ul had told, like an old folk tale.
Having confirmed even that, Hwang Min-wook sat down under that tree without hesitation.
It was a place with quite a good atmosphere and energy, so while he was lightly meditating, sure enough, a large bear with brown fur appeared as the fortune-telling had said.
“To think there’s a human who has found this place! Reveal your identity, kuoong!”
“Hooh… This is quite…”
Thinking that it was somewhat cute, Hwang Min-wook chuckled and said while stroking his chin.
“I have come looking for you because I want something… What should I call you?”
“Call me Hwangung, kuoong! Anyway, you say you want something… Then there’s only one thing to do!”
The bear who introduced himself as Hwangung jumped up onto a rock and brought a large table that looked as if it had been carved from stone.
“If you want to obtain what you desire, prove yourself!”
“Haha… How should I prove myself?”
“What you need to prove is strength! But since we’re not going to fight… We’ll compete with what you humans call arm wrestling, kuoong!!”
“Hoho! That sounds good!”
Hwangung challenging to an arm wrestling match, just as Dam Han-ul had said.
Hwang Min-wook smiled at the situation unfolding exactly as he had heard.
Of course, as his huge physique and nickname “Taesan” (Great Mountain) proved, he was a physical superhuman with a strong body, not someone who handled special abilities.
If you were to mention a similar type of superhuman, you could probably mention Toyoda Yamatake who died at Akame’s hands, but Yamatake’s main ability was the power to handle earth, and physical enhancement was just a byproduct of that, whereas Hwang Min-wook’s strength was purely his powerful physique.
And that physique was solid and powerful to a different dimension compared to Toyoda Yamatake.
Well, it’s natural if you think about it. Hwang Min-wook was once called the strongest in Korea, and unlike Yamatake, he didn’t have a separate main ability.
Anyway, because he was Hwang Min-wook, he was confident in arm wrestling…
“Then, ready!”
Squeeze!!
“Start!!”
…The result was all too obvious.
Kwaaang!!!
“Kuoong?!”
Had even 1 second passed since the arm wrestling started?
Unable to withstand Hwang Min-wook’s tremendous strength, Hwangung floated in the air along with his falling arm, and when Hwangung’s hand hit the table, it split with a crack! sound and fell helplessly to the floor along with the broken table.
It was Hwangung’s overwhelming defeat!
Well, to be honest, Hwangung’s strength was only about A+ rank, so it was a predetermined result.
“…Kuoong, you’re strong, human…”
“Hoho, it was a good match.”
“Fine! A loss is a loss! Tell me what you want, human!”
Anyway, Hwang Min-wook won the match, and Hwangung frankly acknowledged it and asked what he wanted.
“I’d like to receive an elixir…”
“An elixir! Fortunately, you want something I can give, kuoong! A good choice!”
Hwangung, who had lumbered off somewhere saying to wait a moment, soon brought a small pouch.
“Here! I don’t know its name or performance, but it’s the best item among the elixirs I have, kuoong!”
Hwangung, who had many precious items compared to his ability, generously handed over the best elixir, and Hwang Min-wook received the elixir with thanks and took it right there.
He had heard that it would be better to eat it right at the place where he obtained it.
Although there wasn’t much change on the outside of his body, Hwang Min-wook, who was properly feeling its effect, quietly closed his eyes and accepted the energy of the medicine, slowly restoring his body.
As a result, after a full day had passed and Hwang Min-wook opened his eyes, he felt the vitality and energy filling his old body and burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! As expected, he’s a precious person. What an amazing person!”
Hwang Min-wook had succeeded in extending his lifespan as he had wished.
“You’ve woken up, human!”
“Thank you for your consideration, Hwangung.”
“It’s nothing! No big deal!”
Hwang Min-wook, who also expressed his gratitude to Hwangung for protecting him while he was absorbing the medicine’s effects, stayed a little longer and built up a bit of friendship with Hwangung, promising to come visit again later, and was able to leave the mountain in a good mood.
While pondering what to give his benefactor, feeling quite pleased.
And as a bit more time passed, on a certain mountain, a weasel with long whiskers was sprawled out sleeping on a rock.
The existence of this extraordinary weasel was none other than the mountain god Hoseo.
Although he had heard the fortune-telling well, since it wasn’t particularly threatening, he had been living leisurely as usual without any particular precautions, intentionally, to see if that fortune-telling would really come true.
And the result of that soon arrived.
Pshuk!
[Ughk?!]
An unpleasant feeling of being woken up from a good sleep, with something tickling his buttocks.
Kihik! Prey sleeping gob!
Hit with poison needle, take and eat gob!
A goblin really appeared right behind his back and stuck a poison needle into his buttocks!
[Ugh… It really came true! Even my mood!]
To think it even accurately predicted this unpleasant emotion from being disturbed… He really is an amazing fellow.
Kiit?! Why you fine gob!?
Seems we messed with wrong one gob!!
[Anyway, I need to vent my anger first and then think! You insolent fellows!! Kyaat!!]
Anyway, after sweeping away the goblins that appeared and the goblin dungeon, and even plundering and gorging on the goblins’ food, Hoseo used a sharp bone fragment that had been displayed somewhere as if it were a toothpick, then threw it away and lightly hopped out of the dungeon.
[No matter how I think about it, that fellow is too precious to just know about alone…?]
Hoseo shook his body once to shake off the blood on him and muttered while stroking his pride, his whiskers.
[Anyway, these proud fellows probably wouldn’t believe even if they heard, so I should just tell the story when I meet them! Kekeke!]
One of the reasons spirits don’t get caught by humans is because they have their own world.
Sharing small stories of their experiences there becomes good entertainment for spirits who live long and boring lives. Of course, there must be gods who seek other forms of entertainment.
In such a situation, how could a mountain god not share such an interesting and stimulating story?
[Hmm, let’s see… The story of how the human next door turned out to be a great fortune teller who could read heavenly secrets…]
Thinking that knowing it alone would be nothing short of dereliction of duty, Hoseo giggled and unfolded his story bundle.
Whether they believe it or not, that’s up to the other fellows, but if someone comes out who recognizes it, wouldn’t that be quite fun in its own way?
The reaction is quite good too!
[Uhaha! Later when you prosper more, you’ll have to treat me big, young fortune teller teacher!]
…Of course, whether the fortune teller himself wants promotion or attention from other spirits is another story, but as always, the spirit didn’t particularly care.
There were more gods and high-ranking superhumans who weren’t the type to care about such trivial things!
Anyway, in the meantime, Dam Han-ul himself was living quite comfortably.
He had eaten the pill and become healthier.
Hmm, if I had to express it, how should I put it… The expression “calm before the storm” might be somewhat fitting.

A peaceful day with no customers.
While I was playing with Yeopo along with Lee Sujin, who had fully recovered her health and become a very bright and lively kid, I received a phone call.
“Oh? This is Hatieri?”
As soon as I answered the phone, Hatieri’s energetic voice, which had been high-tension every time we met except once, flowed out.
[Yo! Teacher! Have you been doing well?!]
“I seem to be living better than before. Are you living well, Hatieri?”
[Me? Of course I’m living well, but lately it’s been even more fun! An S-rank guy tried to attack me!]
“Huh? Really?!”
It sounds like quite a serious situation just from hearing it… but her voice was so bright that it felt like it wasn’t a big deal.
…To think she enjoyed being attacked by an S-rank, Hatieri really isn’t normal either.
[He wasn’t a well-known guy, but still, being an S-rank, there was some taste in beating and tearing him apart? Though I thoughtlessly killed him without thinking of investigating the background because I was fighting after a long time… Still, it was quite an enjoyable time!]
“Hahaha…”
Tsk, it sounds quite chilling to me…
[By the way, have you been attacked or anything?]
“Well, nothing particularly happened to me.”
I’m just a fortune teller, but still an ordinary person, right? There probably aren’t any guys who would attack me? What kind of crazy person would spend a lot of time trying to catch one ordinary person?
“But So-ha was attacked. She was sniped…”
After briefly explaining the situation at that time, Hatieri listened to the story with great interest.
[Heh… So Cheong-ok was attacked, you say? This is interesting… I’ve heard stories that some S-ranks who’ve become a bit famous lately have been attacked, this might not be a coincidence?]
“…I’d rather not have such troublesome things…”
I’m serious.
[By the way, you’ve seduced another S-rank? As expected, your ability is good, our teacher! At this rate, couldn’t you easily eat up the Korean underworld?]
“Ugh, I said I don’t want troublesome things… It sounds bad just hearing it.”
[Kyahaha!! As expected of teacher!]
Anyway, after continuing to talk with Hatieri for a while longer, when the call ended, I flopped down on the lawn.
“…Come to think of it, I’ve become quite comfortable talking with Hatieri too.”
I guess I’m making some mental growth too. No, should I call this adaptation?
As I was absentmindedly staring at the blue sky where clouds were leisurely floating by, I suddenly remembered something I had forgotten for a moment.
“Ah, come to think of it, that crystal ball.”
I received it as a gift but just put it in the fortune-telling room and haven’t taken it out.
Now that I’ve remembered, shall I do an unboxing of that?
