Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 28 - Getting My Own Home?!



Usually, the term “top-tier superhuman” refers to S-rank. Generally, S-rank is the highest grade given to the top-level superhumans.

However, if you ask whether S-rank is the strongest among superhumans, that’s not the case. Just like in real life, in the world of superhumans, there are monsters among monsters who far exceed the standard.

Beings who have far surpassed even the standards of S-rank, which itself exceeds normal standards.

Transcendents who have far surpassed their limits, the sky above the sky, irregulars… Anyway, these individuals called by various names are given the grade of EX-rank.

EX-rank superhumans are monstrous superhumans with exceptional strength that officially only 10 people in the world possess.

Natural Disaster (天災). The Three Witches. No. 1. Heaven’s Net (天網). Green Forest (綠林). Great Khan (大汗). Earth Dragon (地龍). The Fisherman.

What Poison Demon Wei Zhiying aims to achieve is to reach the realm where they exist.

Crossing the wall of S-rank to reach EX-rank.

“…Now that I know the method, what’s there to wait for.”

Wei Zhiying didn’t leave even a bit of margin and gathered all her strength.

Usually, she would infuse her surroundings with her poison, but this time she retrieved all her power. It was obvious that it wouldn’t be an easy journey.

“Well then, shall we go?”

As the Poison Demon’s full power gathered, Wei Zhiying’s eyes, which usually looked languid and expressionless, emitted a deep, intense green light.

Poison Demon Wei Zhiying began to move to cross the final step towards transcendence.

I returned to my hometown.

And in a very comfortable manner, riding a private jet no less!

“Phew… There’s really no place like home after all!”

It wasn’t a particularly long trip, and the treatment I received was excellent to the point of being excessive, but how should I put it… Despite all that, the place where I felt most comfortable was still my home.

Should I say it gives psychological comfort?

“Mr. Dam Han-ul. Since you probably have travel fatigue today… I’ll visit again tomorrow morning to guide you regarding Poison Demon’s advance payment.”

“Ah, that’s fine with me.”

“Then we’ll take our leave now.”

And those who kindly guided us to our home withdrew after saying they’d meet again tomorrow regarding the compensation Wei Zhiying gave, being considerate of us.

That’s fortunate. I was tired too. I even dozed off on the plane ride back.

“Ugh… I’m sleepy…”

Sometimes I get very tired after fortune-telling, and it seems that this fortune-telling thing consumes some mental energy.

Well, the fatigue completely disappears after sleeping, and there haven’t been any particular problems so far, so it’s not an issue I worry about much.

Anyway, after sleeping soundly and waking up, the sun that had set was now rising, and after eating breakfast and watching some TV, Poison Demon’s subordinates visited.

“Did you rest well, sir?”

“Ah, yes. I rested well.”

“That’s good. Then, please accept this first…”

The Poison Demon’s subordinate who greeted me first politely handed me a well-rolled paper.

“Uh, what’s this?”

“It’s the compensation sent by Poison Demon. It’s a land deed.”

“A land deed?”

A land deed, this is the first time I’ve received such a gift.

“Regarding other compensations and detailed contents, I’d like to explain while we move… Would that be inconvenient for you?”

“That’s fine with me.”

It seems they want to show me the land that Wei Zhiying transferred to me, and when you hear such things, isn’t it natural to want to know what kind of land you’ve received? If they’re kindly offering to guide me, I’m all for it.

So, I gathered the three companions who had gone with me when I received Wei Zhiying’s invitation to China, and moved to that place following the guidance of Poison Demon’s subordinates.

And while going, I also heard about the contents of the advance payment Wei Zhiying gave me.

“The compensation Poison Demon gave to Teacher Dam Han-ul consists of three things in total. The first is the land you just received, the second is money. It’s about 500 million won in Korean currency, and she also said to use it without burden as it won’t cause any particular problems if used. And the last third compensation is an item called ‘Poison Avoidance Pill (避毒丸)’. The Poison Avoidance Pill was personally made by Poison Demon, and when consumed, although it doesn’t reach the amazing level of being immune to all poisons, it can achieve immunity to a hundred poisons.”

“Oh ho…”

500 million won, and even an item called Poison Avoidance Pill that sounds precious just by hearing about it…

Somehow, it feels like the compensations I receive are increasing day by day. Does this mean my reputation is growing? If so, that’s not particularly what I want…

But it doesn’t seem like customers won’t come either, so what can I do? Now I just have to adapt…

Of course, that adaptation won’t be easy.

Anyway, the rest of the items are well stored at the place we’re going to, so I just need to pick them up when we get there…

By the way, land…

To think I’d get my own land when I’m still living in a monthly rental house, this was something I couldn’t help but be interested in.

Getting my own home! Isn’t this one of the dreams of many ordinary citizens like me?

‘Wow… My own home, this feels different from the start.’

Unlike other compensations, this one felt closer. Is it because it’s something I’ve been longing for? Or is it because of the mindset I’ve been trying to change lately?

Well, whatever. The important thing is that I feel good right now.

Anyway, as we kept moving like that, we arrived at our destination, and when I got out of the car, I couldn’t help but be surprised at the building in front of me.

“My goodness…!!”

There was a large and splendid three-story mansion that looked like something old medieval nobles might have lived in! Moreover, it even had a fancy main gate and walls!

There were also wide gardens in front and behind the mansion! There was even a large pond at the back!

No, I didn’t want something this excessive…

Growl!

As I was inwardly flustered and blinking my eyes, following the guidance of the subordinates into the main gate, a heavy growl broke my surprise.

Startled, I stared at where the sound came from and saw a wolf staring at us.

“Wh-what is this?!”

There’s an incredibly scary creature in the house?!

“Ah. This is a service sent by Poison Demon. It’s called a ‘Black Dagger Dog (黑匕犬)’… It’s a monster about C-rank, and because it contains poison, Poison Demon personally tamed it. It should be quite useful for guarding the house. Though I doubt that will be necessary. If you take the Poison Avoidance Pill, it will recognize you as its master and become cute.”

To think it was a dog the size of a wolf?! Moreover, it was a monster??

“It’s quite ill-mannered for a beast that only recognizes its master after eating something. Should I give it some education, Han-ul?”

Keeng…!

Still, it seemed to sense the difference in power, as it immediately cowered and retreated when Akame smiled slightly.

“No, it’s fine. If it listens well after eating, then…”

Anyway, leaving the wolf-sized dog behind, we entered the mansion, and the interior was as splendid as the exterior.

“…You’re saying this mansion is now mine?”

“Not just this mansion, but this entire area including the small mountain near the mansion is all yours, sir. Although it’s located on the outskirts of the city, considering you’re a fortune teller, we chose a place with good air and quiet…”

The Poison Demon’s subordinate continued with a detailed explanation, but I couldn’t hear it well.

No, to think the dream of getting my own home would come true like this… Everything I’ve gotten since starting my fortune-telling life seems to have no middle ground.

“…Ahem, it seems it would be more convenient for you to check the documents for more detailed information. Ah, if you wish, we can also help with moving.”

“That would be helpful. Then please do.”

As the Poison Demon’s subordinates who answered affirmatively withdrew, I also checked the remaining compensations, the money and the Poison Avoidance Pill.

The money was impressively placed in a money bag as cash, and the Poison Avoidance Pill was in a small case, which I immediately tried eating after checking, but it didn’t taste very good.

‘Hmm… I don’t feel like anything has drastically changed…?’

“You’ve really gotten a spacious and nice house, Han-ul!”

“Oh, that’s right… It seems a bit excessive though.”

The mansion was so splendid and flashy that it seemed it would take quite some time to adapt and feel comfortable calling this my home. After all, it’s too different from the house I was living in until just now!

“Ahem! Teacher! It seems like you might feel quite lonely living alone in such a mansion… Could I get a room here-nyan?!”

“I’d like to live here too. Wouldn’t it be better if several people lived together in a place like this, Han-ul?”

“Please allow me to live here too to better serve you, Executive!”

Oh, their words are a bit strange…

“It does seem too spacious… Shall we do that?”

It did seem like managing such a large place would be a job in itself… Living together might actually be better.

Anyway, there wasn’t much to move, and since almost everything was already furnished, the issues with moving and the previous house were neatly resolved, and so I obtained this incredibly splendid mansion as my new home.

Huff huff!

“…Wow, it really listens well…?”

“This is quite fascinating.”

Ah, come to think of it, after eating that Poison Avoidance Pill, this huge doggy really started listening well.

No, how did the Poison Demon tame a monster to listen this well? It’s really amazing.

“Hmm, what should we name it? Poppy seems a bit off for this size…”

It came from China, its owner changed from Wei Zhiying to me, and it changes sides faster than Udyr…

“Alright! From now on, your name is Lü Bu!”

Woof?

By the way, its courtesy name is Fengxian. You even have a courtesy name despite being a dog, you’ve really made it big!

“That’s quite a novel name. I rather like it. It suits its size too.”

“It’s a pretty good name, right? It seems to like it too!”

Anyway, the move was completed smoothly, the dog was named, and I even said my final goodbyes to my previous home…

Today is quite a comfortable day, isn’t it?
