KIM DOKJA'S POINT OF VIEW

A few minutes later, I once again entered Dongdae Station and ate a ground rat. It was to heal the skin contaminated by the poisonous fog. It took a little time but the contamination could be recovered by eating the meat of an underground species.

[...Hey! Are you crazy? What did you do just now?]

I was eating when I heard Bihyung's voice furiously berating me. Goodness, he's annoying!

'Shut up.' I just continue eating the ground rat's leg ignoring the Dokkaebi in the process.

[No, this isn't an issue you can dismiss. You destroyed a constellation's idol! Do you want to see my channel fail? Once the 'Bald General of Justice' begins to talk...]

The idol of a constellation. Every world had its own constellations, South Korea as well. By the way, Bihyung said it was the 'Bald General of Justice.' He was a great person in South Korea but... Actually, I wasn't the type of person to say that.

[A constellation wearing a straw mat is furious at your atrocious actions.]

[The constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' is laughing.]

There was a difference in the degree of all idols, but they had the power of a constellation sealed in them. If I released the seal of the idol in the right way, I could gain a certain amount of power, such as an item or skill that the constellation used in their lifetime. 

However, 'unlocking the seal' took a long time and I wasn't sure if I could get the skill I wanted. I looked at Ways of Survival on my smartphone, hopefully, it still has enough battery energy to operate.

「 "But if it is sealed in the bronze statue of Samyeongdang, how did you get the skill?"

"There is a saying that if you meet Buddha, kill Buddha."

"What? Don't tell me..."

"Haha, I was just trying it out... but it is true. All the statues aren't just for worship."

"Hey! This jerk, you should watch your mouth. You might be cursed by the constellation." 」

At the last gateway to enter Chungmuro, the 'skill' of Samyeongdang was essential. And the most surefire way to get the skill was to destroy the idol. Of course, I could buy something similar from the Dokkaebi Bag but... the more coins I saved, the better.

"Then did you resolve the 'man's secret' well?" I quickly turned off my smartphone screen. My companions, including Jung Heewon, had gathered. "Yes. And I have something for you." I pulled out the items I gained from the idol. As luck would have it, the Samyeongdang idol contained items and skills.

[Samyeongdang's Beads]

[Samyeongdang's Straw Mat]

Rags and old beads. There were questions in the eyes of everyone present. I knew what they were thinking. But I also knew this. In this world, 'old' was more likely to be 'good.' "They seem like good items. Because they are souvenirs of a great person." I said with a fake smile.

"Great person?" Heewon asked with scrunched eyebrows "Do you know Samyeongdang?" I asked starting my scheme, Alyona shook her head stifling a laugh. "...Who is that?" Jung Heewon asked with a stupid expression.
