Chapter 23 - Meet up

I wore a black suit, a tie and gelled back my hair. It was the traditional hair style referred to as a pomade. The suit and pomade was the perfect combination. Humans felt the need for a presentable appearance.

Using my Keen Insight to what I wear, made me shock to the results.

So this is what you call japtem.

Well whatever, I drove my car to an underground parking lot near the appointed place. I drove the car with a great deal of expertise.

Of course, I had a driver's license. I only had it for 3 days.

My field of concentration and memory was superior to humans. Once I became accustomed to driving the car, it wasn't that hard.

After driving for 20 minutes, I arrived at Suyu Station. Once I took Exit 3, there was the 2 storey Way Cafe where the appointment would take place. There was no place to park so I headed for a nearby paid parking lot.

I drew a lot of attention the moment I walked into the cafe.

"Celebrity?"

"Look. Really cool."

I naturally heard the conversation.

My neat appearance also drew a good impression from the humans. My judgement wasn't wrong. My appearance wasn't lacking.

I experienced similar things several times in the Demon World. I only thought about getting stronger but it seemed like the Demon World had similar standards regarding beauty.

Indeed. Being a handsome man in the Demon World wasn't that helpful.

They could live comfortably if they caught the eye of a strong female demon. However, that would eventually end. Once abandoned, they would never be seen again. Every last one of them was miserable.

Conversely, a beautiful woman was the strongest weapon itself. Some nobles highly valued the beautiful women in their harem. If they became sick then compensation would be given.

This was all unrelated to me…it was just idle thoughts.

I pulled out my phone and called a number. There were a few rings before the other person picked up.

-Hello?

A male voice. I asked carefully.

"Where is it?"

-Who?

"Randalph. Right now I am on the 1st floor of the cafe."

-Ah, Randalph-nim. Come up to the 2nd floor.

I immediately climbed up the stairs. A man was waving his hand on the 2nd floor. There were a few people gathered around his table. Seven of them. It seemed like I was the latest.

The man put out his hand for a handshake and said.

"Nice to meet you. I am the leader, Yoon Hyuk-soo."

I used Keen Insight to check Yoon Hyuk-soo's status window.

Name: Yoon Hyuk-soo

Occupation: Hero (Guarder)

Title: None

Stats

Strength: 31

Agility: 28

Stamina: 33

Intelligence: 25

Magic Power: 27

Potential: (144/231)

Uniqueness: None

Skill: Smash (N), Track (N)

There wasn't any specific potential.

Tracking skills were a bit unusual but it wasn't a big deal when considering the nature of the Guarder.

I shook his hand and replied.

"Randalph Brigsiel."

"Oh! Are you perhaps a returnee?"

My skin was too bright compared to South Koreans. It was natural to think that I was a returnee. He was also determining the ranks.

"That's right."

"Somehow that tone….anyway, you are very handsome. Is that why the women's faces are turning red?"

Yoon Hyuk-soo slyly said as he turned his head. There were three women in the group. I turned towards them while avoiding their eyes.

"Pleased to meet you."

"Now now. Just sit down."

I sat down on the empty seat.

The atmosphere around the male members was a little uncomfortable. They were dressed in different clothes while I was the only one wearing a suit.

"Is it okay to enter the dungeon wearing a suit?"

One of the male crew members ended up saying. His eyes were glaring at me like I was the enemy. There was jealousy in that gaze.

I could understand the situation immediately. They were only looking at the female members of the crew. The pretty women wearing makeup! It wasn't much but they were decent beauties. This jealousy wasn't worth dealing with.

The air became tense before Captain Yoon Hyuk-soo laughed and said.

"Haha. Aren't wer also going to change clothes? All the women here are wearing skirts. Come, let's introduce ourselves. I am the leader, Yoon Hyuk-soo. As you know from the forum, my occupation is a guarder. You don't have to worry about getting aggro on you. Nice to meet you."

Yoon Hyuk-soo turned his head to look at another member. The man sitting on the right side who had been smiling from the beginning then talked.

"I am Kim In-pil. My job deals with command magic. I can control the body of kobolds or goblins."

"Wah, there are also jobs like this?"

Everyone looked at Kim In-pil with surprise. I didn't see anything about a command magician on the Awakened website.

"It is because my day job before this was an undertaker."

An undertaker was in charge of funeral homes. In some cases, their job would cause special conditions when awakening.

But a command magician was certainly a rare occupation. The command magic could control dead bodies. I wasn't remotely interested in it. I immediately checked Kim In-pil's status window.

Name: Kim In-pil

Occupation: Hero (Command Magician)

Title: Person who deals with Corpses (Ex N, Magic Power + 2)

Stats

Strength: 16

Agility: 13

Stamina: 14

Intelligence: 14

Magic Power: 45 (+2)

Potential: (121/275)

Uniqueness: None

Skill: Body Control (N)

Uneven abilities. His physical abilities and intelligence was the worst but magic was very high.

Having high magic power wasn't always good. All fights required stamina. They would collapse after using one or two of his strongest spells. So it was better to have it even instead of one stat too high.

I was somewhat unfamiliar with command magicians. I had seen specific professions like Shamans or Animal Guardians. But this was the first time I saw a command magician that dealt with corpses.

It was close to the ability of a demon. In fact, there were many creatures and demons with that ability. Of course, the skill was quite poor. At best, only a few kobolds and goblins could be moved.

'Title.'

There was only one thing to praise.

Title.

The rating was low but I knew how hard it was to get a title. The Exceptional rating attached to the Normal title was the only thing I could praise.
