ACT 2 Change Profession Quest

[Important Translator’s Note:

So I’ve finally received confirmation in this chapter that Jewel was a male all along. Therefore I will keep his na as Jewel butwill be referring to him as male starting from this chapter. Previous chapters will be edited to reflect this.Sorry for themisunderstanding.

Another change I’ve made is set to set.]

————————————————————————————————————–

“Hey, Baekgu.”

“B-Baekgu? Who is that?”

Albert who was lying on the ground looked up and asked.Ark replied with a shrewd expression.

“That is your na from now on.”

“B-but I am called Albert…..”

“Ohh, you don’t like the na I gave you?”

Albert flinched and retreated as Ark’s face tightened.He was still trying to keep his rebellious spirit?It didn’t seem like it at the mont……with his ears and tail drooping while the body was trembling.Albert entreated in a quivering voice.

“Yes, I understand.”Call Baekgu or whatever you want. I’ll co whenever you call……”

‘Hmm, seems like my discipline was effective.’

Ark nodded with a pleased face.In fact, there was a reason he had beaten up Albert so intensely. In order to raise a pet dog, the relationship between Master and servant had to be made clear from the beginning. If he went easy on a wild animal in the beginning then it would beco more difficult to ta later on. Albert was a mber of the wolf species. Ark had no guarantee that he wouldn’t beco rebellious later on.That was also the reason why he changed Albert’s na into one commonly used for dogs. Now Albert would rember today’s pain every ti he was called Baekgu.

“Okay Baekgu. I don’t need to say it again, but from today onwards you will be Buksil’s pet dog. Do you understand? You’re rank in the group is at the very bottom. Naturally Buksil and my summons are your superiors. Understood?”

“Buksil…….”

Albert, no Baekgu growled Buksil’s na in a low voice. Although he had submitted to Ark, Baekgu was still a mber of the wolf species. It would be fine if he was serving Ark who was the descendant of Hero Maban, but being the subordinate of a pig injured his pride.

“What’s with that look? Do you have a complaint?”

“Ah, no it’s fine!”

However, he imdiately beca a pet dog again as soon as Ark frowned.Ark stroked Baekgu’s head a little bit before looking at Buksil.

“Okay, okay. That’s a good dog. Hey Buksil. Do you have a problem with your subordinate? You’ll take care of Baekgu from now on.”

“Huh? M-?”

“Of course. You’re the one who wanted so help.”

Although Baekgu was a servant, it would still cost money to feed him.The reason Ark wanted Buksil to raise Baekgu was so that all the expenses would go to Buksil.Buksil felt like crying after having the food expenses of Baekgu shoved on him, but he didn’t dare complain after seeing Ark’s previous violence.

‘Damn, as expected I couldn’t oppose Ark-nim.’

In the end Buksil was just left with regrets.In order to change the atmosphere, Ark clapped his hands.

“Now, let’s start working earnestly!”

“Huh? Working? What do you have left to do?”

“Well, there is one more important thing.”

Ark nodded with a serious face.

‘Huhuhu, now cos the happy epilogue after the happy ending.’

Yes, the really important information in fairy tales wasn’t the body. The part that always wowed the readers was what ca after the happy ending. Did the nice and hardworking protagonist beco rich?

‘However, the world isn’t as insignificant as portrayed in the stories. In reality, the hero would die after suffering miserably.’

It wasn’t possible to end a story with this as it would crush a child’s hopes and dreams.In the end, the only thing that gave hopes and dreams to children was a capitalist ideology!That was what Ark believed. Therefore he sought as much compensation as possible without any hesitation.

“Baekgu, have you lived in this castle for a long ti? Show every corner of this castle.”

Of course, his intention wasn’t to look around a vampire’s castle. It was in order to recoup so of the expenses he wasted on making Racard evolve.

“This is a guest room.”

“Wait a minute. Ohh, there are quite a few decorations here?”

Ark made Baekgu go around and place a red tag on many items. Then Buksil would pack anything with the red tag into his bags.In fact, Ark had a good eye after working part ti in an antique store. It helped him grasp which items were worth money.If Ark was alone then he would carefully choose the items worth the most money. But now there was Buksil. Buksil had emptied all his bags before leaving Seutandal. Furthermore, as an NPC Baekgu also had a small backpack.

‘I don’t need to worry about bag space.’

So Ark attached the red tags to items that were even worth 1 copper. Therefore Ark even took the forks, plates and knives.

‘This is a lot more than I thought it would be.’

Ark was especially impressed with the warehouse.In Dark Earth, it was difficult to find items other than decor. He only knew this later, but the Bloody didn’t use weapons or armours.The Bloody was a monster that used their claws or thick leather as equipnt. Therefore a Bloody would also drop claws or leather when they died. However, there was a considerable number of Moon rocks and general items in the warehouse.

“Karakul used to collect so of these items from the coast.”

That was the Bloody’s explanation.

‘Huhuhu, Karakul is making happy even after he died.’

Naturally Ark packed all the items stored in the warehouse.

‘Sheesh, there are no magic items. But I should get 600~700 gold if I dispose of all these items. That barely covers the cost of one summoning port but the inco was better than I expected.’

“Ohhhh, my castle…..my castle…..”

Racard whimpered with tears in his eyes.Who would co to the house of their summons and then deprive it of all the household furniture? The Wolrang watched Racard with pity and muttered.

“This is the descendant of Hero Maban that Elder-nim has been waiting for?”

“Isn’t he different from what we heard?”

“Well…..I haven’t t Hero Maban either……”

The elder scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.Ark heard their voices but he wasn’t embarrassed at all. He didn’t know what illusions the Wolrang possessed about Hero Maban but didn’t a legendary hero also need to eat?In order to kill the devil, travel expenses were necessary. And this was a ga which reflected reality.When a hero enters a house and breaks the jars to look for treasure, why wouldn’t a NPC beco angry?There was only one reason why they would tolerate it!

“Huhuhu, it’s okay because I am a hero.”

Yes, heroes with the occupation of a legendary hero would get a free pass. In addition, Ark had a urgent reason that matched a hero.

‘Even the descendant of a hero has to save for the rental cost!’

Of course, he had money from selling the items from Magaro’s Laboratory and his booming stores so he wasn’t worried about the rental cost. But his assets would reset back to ‘0’ once the house was paid off.

‘I have to continue saving even 1 copper.’

Wasn’t Ark the descendant of one of the most legendary heroes in the ga? Yet he still couldn’t forget about the quest compensation. Therefore Ark finished going through the vampire castle and found the Wolrang elder.

“Elder-nim, soon you’ll be away from the rule of the vampires and can recover your lost glory.”

“Ah, it is all thanks to you. On behalf of the clan, thank you.”

“Yes, the Wolrang family can now regain their forr glory.”

Ark smiled while muttering the sa thing.

‘Why is he repeating it?’

Then the elder coughed like he rembered sothing and spoke.

“Cough, I rember that I still need to give you a reward. But as you know, we’ve lived under Karakul’s rule for 100 years so we don’t have that much. So will this item be okay?”

The elder reached into his backpack and pulled out shoes made from silver leather.

Wolf’s Feet (Rare)
