Chapter 201
The Main Mission in This World
After some time had passed, Son Ju Woo quietly returned home after selling the blue crystal and obtaining a decent amount of money. He parted ways with the golden-haired young man and Sung Jin Woo without any fanfare, as though each of them had simply returned to their own path.
Son Ju Woo let out a light sigh of relief as he stretched out in his clean and quiet room, where the only sound was the steady rhythm of his breathing.
"Alright... let's start taking care of the important matters."
He turned his gaze toward Astaroth, then brought out the freshly slain corpses before him. The moment they appeared, Astaroth's eyes flashed brightly, as though life itself had begun flowing back into him as he looked at the bodies saturated with pure magical energy. Without hesitation, he began his feast in complete silence.
Meanwhile, Son Ju Woo took out the preservation vial and handed it to Kyu.
It contained the power of the giant spider that he had drained earlier.
"Refine this magical energy and transfer all of it to Wrath."
"Yes, Master."
Kyu bowed and immediately began carrying out the order with precision, while Wrath sat quietly before him, waiting.
'Personal Status Window.'

'Good... combat has increased my strength significantly.
And I received a good number of points after defeating the giant spider.
But one issue remains... my skill.'
Son Ju Woo thought deeply.
'Necromancy... right now, I can only summon four skeletons, and all of them are weak Level One skeletons.
The giant spider's corpse is powerful... if I use the skill on it, there is a chance of success, but the failure rate is high.
I only have three attempts... if I fail, the corpse will disappear.
And even if I succeed, the spider will return as a weak Level One creature.
Therefore...'
Son Ju Woo summoned the four skeletons and stood in the middle of the room.
He began fighting and training with them without stopping. Strikes, dodges, summoning, reconstruction... everything was repeated over and over again.
Time passed like a swift wind, impossible to grasp.
---
Two full days later...
Son Ju Woo stood inside a completely ruined room. The walls were cracked, the floor shattered, and four broken skeletons lay around him. Sweat poured heavily from his forehead and body, while his breathing was heavy yet steady.
"In just two days... I managed to improve my skills.
Now I can summon four Advanced Level One skeletons."
Within every level, there were three grades:
Weak – Good – Advanced.
A Weak one would be defeated with a single strike.
A Good one could survive for at least a minute.
As for an Advanced one... it had a genuine chance of fighting and surviving.
Of course, all of this depended on the strength of the opponent.
Still, this progress brought Son Ju Woo genuine relief.
"Now... I can change that bastard's face and body...
Kyu, come here."
Kyu immediately stepped forward and bowed before him.
"Temporarily close the center of magical power within your body. Don't open it until I give the order."
With those words, the magical presence within Kyu's body gradually weakened until he appeared completely human.
Son Ju Woo smiled quietly before raising his hands around Kyu's head. A violet aura began swirling around his palms.
This was Zhao Fan's technique for altering one's appearance and body.
Previously, it had been incomplete and relatively weak, but after Son Ju Woo studied and improved it, it had become nearly perfect.

Three more days later...
Kyu stepped out of the bathroom.
Son Ju Woo stopped and looked at him.
His appearance had changed completely.
A more handsome face, short black hair, a smaller build, and clothing from this world that suited him perfectly.
"Now... that's much better. Your previous face genuinely annoyed me, you bastard."
"Thank you, Master."
Son Ju Woo smiled, but the ringing of his phone interrupted the moment.
He looked at the screen.
An unknown number.
'Hmm... alright.'
He answered the call and quietly listened to the voice on the other end.
A short while later...
"So... Yoo Jin Ho? He wants to meet both me and Sung Jin Woo."
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Then he took a shower, changed his clothes, and headed to the meeting place.
---
"Sir, you're here."
When Son Ju Woo arrived, he found Yoo Jin Ho and Sung Jin Woo sitting together and talking.
"So? What's the matter?"
"Sir... I'm thinking of creating a guild."
"Alright... and then?"
"And I want you to join."
"No."
Before he could continue—
| Main Mission of This World
Create the strongest and greatest guild in the world.
Time Limit: Five Years.
Reward: Depends on the level of mission completion.
Failure: Remain in this world forever with no opportunity for another transfer. |
Son Ju Woo froze for a moment, his eyes fixed on the window.
"Sir? Sir, are you listening to me?"
"Son Ju Woo... are you alright?"
"Ah... yes, yes. I'm fine."
"So, will you join?"
"No... I have something else that interests me."
He turned to leave.
"But Sung Jin Woo agreed."
"He's joining? Well... congratulations."
"I didn't agree just like that... I agreed to this."
Sung Jin Woo calmly explained how Yoo Jin Ho had asked him to participate in only twenty raids because he wanted to become a Guild Master.
Son Ju Woo slowly sighed.
"Hmm... but what exactly do I gain from all of this?"
He looked at them before continuing in a low voice.
"I don't want to sound like someone who's only chasing rewards... but... this is the world, kid."
"What do you mean, Mr. Son Ju Woo?"
Son Ju Woo sighed once again before taking his seat.
"Listen, kid.
This world... no matter how much it advances, and no matter how much people try to change it,
is ruled by only two truths."
He raised his eyes and looked directly at Yoo Jin Ho.
"Life... and death."
A brief silence followed.
"Now tell me. Has anyone ever helped you without asking for a favor in return?"
Yoo Jin Ho paused for a moment and thought carefully before answering honestly.
"Yes... that has happened."
A faint smile appeared on Son Ju Woo's face, carrying a trace of hidden mockery.
"And did it end well?"
The question was asked as though the answer were already known.
Yoo Jin Ho lowered his gaze slightly before speaking.
"No, sir.
It turned into a major disaster... and if it weren't for my father and my older brother helping me,
I would have fallen into countless horrors."
Son Ju Woo slowly nodded.
"Then, as I said before, kid...
The world, people, the universe... everything revolves around only two truths:
Life and death."
He leaned forward slightly.
"We continue living by whatever means possible,
and we avoid death in exactly the same way."
Then he spoke in a sharper tone, though it remained calm.
"That is why... when I ask what I gain in return,
it isn't because I'm greedy."
He paused for a moment before continuing.
"If I agreed immediately, without any objections,
then know that I'm planning something behind your back."
Yoo Jin Ho's eyes widened slightly.
"But... if I set conditions, if I draw strict boundaries that cannot be negotiated...
Only then does the arrangement become trustworthy... even if only slightly."
Son Ju Woo raised his gaze again.
"So I repeat my question. What do I gain from joining you for twenty raids?"
Yoo Jin Ho swallowed nervously and, for the first time, felt those words cutting deeply into his thoughts.
He began reorganizing his ideas while Sung Jin Woo watched the scene in complete silence.
His eyes were fixed on Son Ju Woo, filled with surprise and concentration, as though asking:
Is this really the Son Ju Woo I know?
Son Ju Woo noticed that look and sighed inwardly.
'Man... don't look at me as if I'm a stranger.
I'm someone who has crossed worlds, I have Cain, and I've changed.
Tell me... how can someone who died before my eyes, lost his leg, and then returned stronger than before...
look at me as though I'm the strange one?
Isn't he the strange one instead?'
Son Ju Woo broke the silence with a casual tone:
"Kid, did you die or something? What do I gain?"
Yoo Jin Ho was startled slightly before quickly replying,
«"Ah—yes, sorry, Mr. Son Ju Woo. Your words... enlightened my thinking a little."»
He cleared his throat, then pulled out a document and placed it on the table with a calm smile.
Son Ju Woo picked up the paper, and the moment he read it, his eyes narrowed.
'Three billion won...
Is this kid joking?
I own enough wealth to buy half of this world,
and he's offering me three billion?'
He slowly exhaled.
'Damn... I really want to refuse.
But...'
He thought for a moment before rising from his seat.
"I have your number. I'll let you know my decision later."
Yoo Jin Ho stood respectfully.
"Please don't take too long to decide, Mr. Son Ju Woo."
Son Ju Woo moved forward with calm steps while thoughts continued to swirl endlessly through his mind.
