I Possessed It Instead of My Younger Sibling

127 – Hell

A large five-story house located on the outskirts of Karabog, a large city.

I was listening to Ene’s report in the leader’s office located on the top floor of the building used as the Revenge mercenary group’s quarters and branch.

“The 23 members that my sister and brother rescued for the first time, all of the first group members, have fully recovered as of yesterday. I don’t think there will be any major problems if we now start full-scale training instead of There are a total of 106 members from the second group, a total of 106 members is also smooth now.”

“Well, that’s good. Anyway, thank you, Ene. It must have been difficult just working at the top, but you also entrusted me with managing the mercenary group.”

“Woohuhu, this is my specialty! I’m happy to be of help to you!”

After patting Ene’s head as she smiled brightly, I asked her.

“So there’s a problem with the mercenary group?”

“Yes, brother. It’s okay for now, but due to the nature of our mercenary corps whose members will continue to increase in the future, there will be quite a lot of problems in the future with the current system.”

“… It’s bittersweet, but as the Demon God Church becomes more active, the number of members will increase exponentially.”

“And it is almost impossible to handle the increased number of people with the current system. In fact, even as of now, the number of members of our mercenary group can be classified as a large mercenary group.”

Ene said, lifting three of his fingers.

“Excluding the minor problems that can be solved with money, we have about three problems.”

“What is that?”

“The first is housing. There is not enough space to accommodate the number of members that will increase in the future. Even this building we are currently using, the largest building available in the city, is almost saturated with current members. At best, there will be about 30 members in the future. I can get more.”

“Right now, you can buy another building or use the 〈 space expansion 〉 magic… But that too will have its limits.”

“Yes, money is not lacking to be honest, but there are limitations in location. In any case, the most likely solution is to set up a branch in another city and distribute personnel there… But this is connected to the second problem.”

Ene glanced at her members, who were sweating and brandishing their swords in the clearing outside her window, and at her own older sister, who was giving them instructions.

“The second problem is the absence of instructors who can train the members. Currently, my older sister and Uncle Kuklak, a former gold-level mercenary, are training the other members, but if the number increases, it becomes difficult. And as I said before, “If we set up a branch in another city, the people there won’t even be able to train.”

“It would be impossible to do anything other than basic things like physical training.”

It is almost impossible to acquire weapon skills in a short period of time by training independently unless you are a person with level A or higher martial arts talent.

It is clear that it is much more efficient for those with that talent to be trained by an instructor.

“The third problem is safety. To be precise, it is a secret headquarters that no one knows about except our mercenary group. It is okay for now, but it is absolutely necessary when thinking about the future.”

“Is that true?”

The ultimate goal of this revenge mercenary group I created is the eradication of the Demon God Church.

If our mercenary group with that purpose begins to act, it is certain that the Demon God Church will also move to eliminate any obstacles to them.

To be honest, even if they dispatch just one executive under the bishop, the current mercenary group will be ‘annihilated’ in less than 5 minutes.

That’s why it’s essential to have a hiding place that they can never find out about.

And I knew that fact from the time I founded the mercenary group, so of course there was no way I wouldn’t have prepared ‘countermeasures’.

I manipulated the system and opened the store window.

What is written at the top of the store window are the store points I currently have.

After completing numerous side quests, mercenary requests, obtaining several titles, and clearing dozens of dungeons for about 3 months, the number of store points I earned was…

【1,045,300】

About 1 million points.

It was a point where you could buy ‘S-class items’.

I scrolled down and found an item I had seen before.

Tiring!

Item: Orb of Otherworld Reappearance

Grade: S

Description: An orb created by an old wizard who realized the shortcomings of 〈space magic〉 after spending his entire life trying to recreate a dungeon that had already disappeared.

The old wizard who created this recreated the environment of the dungeon where he lost his colleague and brother in the past, and then said ‘── I’m finally back, brother. After muttering, ‘I’m sorry I couldn’t be with you then,’ he lay down on the rock where his brother met his end and closed his eyes with a peaceful face.

– Otherworld Formation: Creates a subspace with an area ‘proportional’ to the user’s LV of 〈 space magic 〉.

– Re-creation of the other world: The environment of the dungeon that the user conquered is reproduced in subspace.

! Function: If you do not have 〈Space Magic〉, you cannot use the item.

Price: 1,000,000 store points

After confirming that it was the item I was looking for last time, I pressed the purchase button without hesitation.

Sararak-

A cluster of lights appeared in the air and gathered above the hand, creating a black crystal ball with a dreamy light flickering.

“Oh, brother? What is that? I don’t know exactly what it is, but my sense is that it has at least the value of a national treasure!”

As she looked at the crystal ball that suddenly appeared with surprised eyes, she quickly asked me with sparkling eyes whether she had the sense of a merchant.

“Master. Report on the completion of today’s training of the members… ?”

“Well, I should have explained it anyway, but it turned out well. Ezerina, come closer. Ene, you too.”

Instead of explaining, I decided to show her what kind of abilities she had, and at that moment, I gestured for Ezerina, who opened the door and came in, with her dark blue hair that looked as if it had just been washed.

A sister approaches me at the sign of my hand. I then had them place their hands on the crystal ball.

The crystal ball’s special ability, 〈 Formation of a Different World, 〉 was activated.

Paaat-!

“Wha…?!”

“aaah… ?!”

A light so intense that you can’t open your eyes emanating from the crystal ball. When I naturally close my eyes and open them again in that light.

The three of us were standing in a space where everything was pure white.

“Here… ?”

“Oh, brother? Where am I?”

“It is a different world, or sub-space, created with the power of this crystal ball.”

The area of the subspace formed by 〈Formation of a Different World (Different World Formation)〉 is 5,000 square kilometers times the LV of the space magic possessed by the user.

The 〈 space magic I have is LV6〉, so the current size of subspace is ‘about 30,000 square kilometers’

I know that modern Korea has an area of approximately 100,000 square kilometers, so the size of this space is about three-tenths of South Korea.

An item with such incredible performance that it was rated S grade solely for its ability to form subspace.

It was 1 million points, the lowest price among S-grade items in the store, but that was probably due to the limitation that the user must have 〈 space magic 〉.

If there weren’t, it would have been at least 2 million points.

‘Besides, there’s still a second ability left.’

I poured magical power into a crystal ball the size of a child’s head and revealed its second special ability.

“Re-presentation. B-grade dungeon, 〈Ruins of the Cold 〉”

The moment when the light of the crystal ball sparkled and blinked.

Kugugu Palace-

Something began to emerge in a world that was only white.

It’s a lot of buildings.

Although it was weathered and damaged here and there, making it a mess, the sight of a huge city being created all at once was a spectacle that could not be seen anywhere else.

The sisters looked at me speechless at the spectacle. At that time, Ezerina seemed to notice something about her. And she tilted her head.

“This… Is definitely the B-rank undead dungeon that I conquered with the master last time… ?”

“Yes, that’s right. This orb’s second ability is a ‘re-creation’ of the dungeon the owner conquered.”

Since it is only a reproduction of the ‘environment’, there are no monsters or anything like that.

‘Instead, there is a bit of ‘flexibility’ when it comes to replicating the environment.’

I breathed magic into the crystal ball again.

“Reproduction adjustment, removal of weathering and damage to buildings.”

Paaat-

A ring of light extending from a crystal sphere. The ring grew bigger and bigger, and soon encompassed the entire ruined city.

The ring of light surrounding the city gradually began to shrink around the exact center of the city.

The moment the ring of light touched the outermost edge of the city, upheaval began to occur.

Saaa-

The light that fell from the ring of light began to cover the abandoned buildings, and soon, in the place where the light disappeared, new, shiny buildings were erected, as if time had been rewound.

“It’s over.”

I confirmed that the ring of light had disappeared from the city and entered the city with my sister, who was looking dumbfounded.

“A ruin that was completely empty has become a newly built city…”

“Wow! That’s amazing! It’s a completely new house! It even has furniture, although it’s small!”

Since it was a dungeon we conquered together, Ezerina, who knew what it was like before, was looking around blankly at the difference from before, while Ene, who was curious, went into the nearby house and looked around, repeatedly letting out exclamations.

After watching this for a while, I clapped once to get their attention and declared.

“From now on, this is the headquarters of our Revenge mercenaries.”

Then you lifted her hand.

“Brother! I have a question!”

“Hmm, what is it?”

“How do I get in and out of this space?”

“The transfer door leading to this space will be installed in the mercenary branch building outside. Of course, in a secret room that only members can enter.”

“Then, is there any other way to enter?”

“No. Even if the opponent has an excellent ability to move through space, it is impossible to know the exact coordinates because this other world is created in a kind of imaginary space that does not actually exist on the continent.”

“Wow! So the first and third problems are solved at once with this? After all, you’re my brother!”

I told Ene, who was running around, that the painful problem had been solved.

“Ene, please continue setting up mercenary branches in each city outside. If you are smart, you already know why.”

“Yes! Are you planning to create a ‘transition terminal’ that ‘connects cities on all continents’ using the other world, as well as a decoy to hide the fact that this space exists from others?”

“Yes, if that happens, even if the Demon God Church appears anywhere on the continent, we will be able to quickly and effortlessly provide support and provide mercenary troops.”

“Uhihi, besides that, you can make huge profits if you use it for trade at the upper level!”

“You know, but…”

“Of course, since there are eyes around me, I won’t use it openly for upper trade, but I will use it secretly only for small and fragile valuables!”

I pat Ene’s head as she winks asking me to leave it to her.

Ezerina, who was looking at this happily, opened her mouth.

“Then all that remains is to find someone who can teach the members specialized skills.”

“I see~. In that case, I’m thinking about asking the mercenary guild and hiring them for money. What do you think, sister?”

“Hmm, except for a very small number of people who can be hired with money, they are basically people with mediocre skills… If possible, I would like to find someone as strong as a master…”

“But right now I need a cat hand.”

“…I can’t help it. First of all…”

“Ah, about that issue, I’ve been thinking about it for a while.”

An idea vaguely occurred to me from the moment I learned of the great wizard’s skill of inserting information into magical power.

It is still an idea, but if successful, the second problem will be easily solved.

‘Then I guess I should go ‘there’.’

*******

Next day. I stood in front of a large building.

A building the size of a decent dome.

This entire huge building was ‘a club’s fault’.

It is one of the largest clubs in the Academy club,

A club where Professor Markard, a professor crazy about magic, is the ‘professor in charge’…

[Magic Research Club]

In front of the building with such a large sign, I sighed.

‘It came in the end. Since I use magic, it had to come someday…’

The magic research club is a club that is so helpful that it is written in the strategy book that it is a required route, not an option, if the player’s character is a magic type.

Of course, it will be quite helpful to me as well.

But there is only one reason why I haven’t come here until now.

‘It’s because of Professor Markard…’

I know.

How excellent his knowledge and understanding of magic is, and how helpful it is to him.

But there was a reason why I was so reluctant to Professor Markard.

The reason is so clear that I can understand it if I tell it to someone else.

‘Those eyes! If it weren’t for the snow, I would have come a long time ago!’

The sticky looks they give me every time I go to class.

Me a slave… No, that look that tries to make you a graduate student… 〈 Myeonggyeong Index 〉 aroused such instinctive fear in me that I would have screamed long ago.

‘… But, I can’t avoid it anymore.’

Considering the purpose of coming this time and the magic that had been blocked at LV6 for a while, I could no longer avoid it.

“Whoa… Let’s go!”

With my spirits up, I confidently opened the door and entered──

“Huh? Sunwoo?”

“Oh! Sunwoo!”

“Seonwoo has finally arrived!”

“Ahaha! Welcome, Seonwoo! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!”

“aaahhh!!!!!!!? Professor Makhad split into four people!

───I screamed at the hellish scene that appeared before my eyes.
