Chapter 186
Pale with fright, I fumbled at my face. Inside the mirror, Jung Garam began to similarly fumble at his face.
‘This just isn’t right!’
Aghast, I approached one step closer to the mirror and touched it. However, the smooth coldness underneath my fingertips made things clear. Moreover, Jung Garam, within the mirror, reached out as well.
Afterwards, I slapped and pinched my cheeks, but the situation didn’t change. I’m actually wearing Jung Garam as a shell.
“What am I supposed to do…”
While muttering helplessly at the mirror, I suddenly rembered the ssage I had heard while entering this [Vengeful Ghost mory]. Sothing about increasing the difficulty…
‘…No way, is the increased difficulty at fault for why I’ve beco Jung Garam?’
No matter how you look at it, that seems to be the cause of this transformation; so, just in case, I called for the [System ssage].
“System ssage!”
[System ssages cannot be checked right now.]
However, the system ssages flatly prevented access to ssage history. Co to think of it, I couldn’t use skills during Woo Ragi’s mory–perhaps things were similarly locked here?
“Then, I won’t be able to access the Status Window either?”
However, when I mumbled ‘Status Window’ to myself, a familiar translucent, gray window manifested before my eyes.

Although, the contents were completely different.
“Jung Garam’s Status Window opened?”
It seems like my outer appearance wasn’t just Jung Garam–a status window containing all his stats had appeared as well.
That wasn’t the only surprising thing.
“…[Explosion].”
A black sphere embossed with a holographic counter was created; ticking, seconds were dropping from [00:30]. I thought if the situation continued, I would only shatter the bathroom, so I pressed [Cancel Skill] straight away; I wouldn’t be able to handle the situation afterwards…
“I can’t believe it…”
As the [Explosion] skill unfurled, I felt a huge flow of power–a scale that I had never felt–coming from myself; I was so overwheld. It was akin to how a man who had only ever ridden a tricycle might feel when he steps into a luxury accelerated sports car for the first ti.
Ding Dong–
There was no ti to be srized; the sound of a doorbell ringing suddenly echoed throughout the living room. I still felt agitated, but, aware of the need to check on visitors, I stumbled back into the living room where the intercom was.
When I touched the intercom screen, there was…a girl in a dress, standing outside the door and looking this way.
[Jung Garam-kun. 1 Why are you late for the eting–forcing to co all the way here?]
As if she knew I was looking at her, the girl imdiately started talking without any mannerly greeting. This chaotic developnt ssed with my senses, but I managed to recall that the girl in the flashy dress was [Red Lotus]’s Bang Eunji.
Given that she’s still alive and also ntioned a eting, this [Vengeful Ghost mory’s] setting must probably be set before the [Tower of Command] incident. However, I still had insufficient information, and, judging from the fact she’s personally co to find and interrogate , so setback must have happened.
Looking at the big clock on the living room wall, it was pointing to 10 am. My best guess was that there must have been so important eting this morning.
It was a bewildering situation, but I tried to think about how to answer in my own way… But, I had little idea of what to say, so a long ti passed while I hesitated. However, as Bang Eunji tapped the floor with the tip of her boots in frustration, I felt nervous and said whatever ca to mind. “T-That’s… I overslept.”
[……]
Bang Eunji paused and stared at the cara. Then, she tilted her head to the right, as if she doubted . I wondered if I made a mistake and held my breath, but, after standing still, she suddenly stood upright.
[Jung Garam-kun, are you sick?]
She asked in a monotone voice.
This was such a aningful question for . It would have been nice if I could pass this with a simple greeting, but if she felt any sort of incongruity there was no way for to explain. In addition, I was further at a loss because I had no idea how Jung Garam and Bang Eunji used to talk to each other.
However, Bang Eunji soon shattered the silence and continued to speak.
[I don’t know what kind of sche you’ve brewed, nor am I interested, but… You realize you’ll have nothing to say when you’re cut from the guild for missing a pre-raid eting? It’s natural for Jung Garam-kun to have a child’s body, but personal responsibility and maturity can be nurtured through effort…]
If the real Garam heard that, he would be frothing at the mouth and co at her for a fight. Even I was half-fed up with the words that spewed out, one after another; in the midst of all that, the idea that I’d be kicked from the guild pierced my ears.
“C-Cut from the guild…” Even though this was inside of a [Vengeful Ghost mory], the words still made uncomfortable. Bang Eunji replied firmly.
[What are you mumbling about? Instead of cursing at , you may as well hurry, wear your combat uniform, and co out. I’ve definitely delivered this ssage; if you don’t arrive at the guild quarters by 11 o’clock, Beatrice is mine. Guild Master-nim gave permission.]
After saying that, Bang Eunji disappeared from the intercom screen. Gripping my hair and pulling it out, I eventually looked at the clock one more ti and hurried to the dressing room.
* * *
When I left Garam’s house, it was already 10:30. However, when I searched for the address of the Red Lotus office building on the internet, I found that it was only a 10-minute walk. There was no fear of arriving late.
But, I was still worried about what kind of attitude I should adopt in front of the other guild mbers.
‘Especially Seo Dawon…”
It was evident that Seo Dawon would appear in this [Vengeful Ghost mory]–my mouth dried up with worry.
‘How am I supposed to treat Seo Dawon during the Red Lotus heydays?’
He had quick perception–a little strangeness, and I could be interrogated or suffer sothing horrible. After our contact, Seo Dawon treated fairly gently, but I often saw him act rcilessly to others…
‘He even slapped Koo Hui-seo yesterday…’
If Seo Dawon were to hit … Even imagining that kind of situation made tear up. Of course, in the case of capture, my safety was an issue as well.
‘I should be sparing with my words as much as possible…’
In the end, I resolved to keep my mouth shut. Anyway, it was obvious that, as a Necromancer in this ti period, even if I were to explain my words wouldn’t be taken seriously.
Beco a Patron!
TL: We’re eting the Guild mbers! I’m so excited >.<
