"A child? No... it's the relic that Kwon Tae-Joon put a bounty on! Kill Seo Joo-Heon and capture the relic!" ordered the Japanese soldier.

"I'm getting annoyed. Hyung, can I?" Dokja turned to the older male.

A smirk appeared on Seo Joo-Heon's face, "go ahead."

[Electrification]

In a second, the room was filled with electric sparks which knocked all the Japanese soldiers out cold. A hand landed on Dokja's head, ruffling his soft hair.

"Good job kid. Let's go," smiled Seo Joo-Heon.

In a second, Kim Dokja's irritated expression disappeared and he turned his head to give Seo Joo-Heon a smile.

"Ok, let's go hyung!"

'I can at least act this much,' thought Kim Dokja.

"Ah there he is! Seo Joo-Heon...huh? Is that a kid?" Seung-Woo stared at the sleeping child in Joo-Heon's arm.

"You guys are 30 minutes late," said Seo Joo-Heon, ignoring Seung-Woo's question.

"Yeah but I think you having a kid with you is more important than us being late. We didn't know you had a kid," said Seung-Woo.

"He's not my child, he's a relic. Look, he has wings and horns," Joo-Heon pointed out.

"I didn't know relics had human forms, especially the form of a human child," Seung-Woo moved his face closer to Dokja's sleeping face to get a better look at him when a hand pushed his face away.

"Don't bother him," said Joo-Heon.

"Why's he sleeping anyways?" asked Seung-Woo.

"He has narcolepsy."

That shocked the three 'henchmen'. Seo Joo-Heon was also shocked after Kim Dokja had fallen asleep after using his skill against the Japanese soldiers when a purple screen popped up and said that he had narcolepsy. 

'He looks a lot more peaceful compared to when those Japanese soldiers disturbed him from reading his manhwa,'  thought Seo Joo-Heon. 

Dokja eventually woke up when Seo Joo-Heon and his three henchmen started to discuss about business. 'Why did I randomly fall asleep?'  wondered Dokja.

['Narcolepsy' is the drawback of you being able to become an 'independent relic']

'Why specifically narcolepsy?'

[Because Kim Dokja didn't get enough sleep on the train and in the void]

Feeling someone lift him up, Dokja's snapped out of his thoughts.

"Did you forget this is the city of gambling? You can do anything with money," as soon as Seo Joo-Heon said the word 'money', Dokja's eyes began sparkling.

[Kim Dokja loves money too much]

"How high are the numbers going to rise?! He still has ten more turns, it could go even higher!"

"U-Unbelievable," Joo-Heon's three henchmen were amazed by his luck. "Are slot machines even allowed to go that high?!"

While Seo Joo-Heon was making money, Dokja had to stay outside with rope guarding him. 'Damn it. Because I look like I child I'm not allowed to go in,'  Dokja sulked.
