[Achievement achieved! You have made 'The Hungry Mansion' your base. You have obtained 'Rare Achievement: People live in a house like this?'
As a reward for the achievement, you will receive the exclusive attribute 'Master of the Haunted House' and additional experience points.]
[Exclusive attribute 'Master of the Haunted House' is activated.]
[Ownership of the magic, curses, and summons in the mansion will be transferred to you.]
Kiiiiing… … .
The magic residing in the mansion slowly began to connect to me.
This is a very special benefit that cannot be obtained from a typical home that can be owned with money.
Now, if there's someone who wants to pick a fight with me, they can only break into this mansion by overcoming the obstacles I had to overcome.
Of course, there may be some things that change or become weaker as the influence provided by the being of the abyss disappears, but on the other hand, this can be supplemented or strengthened with my magic.
'No one can come in... … We'll create a truly terrifying haunted house.'
[Amazing achievement achieved! You have stolen the power of the Great Old One from the illegitimate son of the One Who Comes from the Dark. You have earned the 'Mythic Achievement: Heir of the Corpse Pile'.
As a reward for the achievement, you will receive the hidden characteristic 'Heir of the Corpse Pile' and gain additional experience.]
This is a higher trait than [Illegitimate Son of a Pile of Corpses] that Heoju, the previous owner of this house, had, [Heir of a Pile of Corpses].
It's a good ability, but this trait also has a penalty similar to [Abyssal Madness].
[The hidden attribute 'Heir of the Corpse Pile' is activated. 'Insanity - Murderous Impulse', 'Insanity - Bizarre Consciousness', 'Insanity - Two Selves', 'Insanity - Partial Amnesia', 'Insanity - Bizarre Taste', 'Insanity - Altar Obsession' are given to your mind. It's possible.]
The madness granted as a penalty... … There are as many as six. This just means don't play.
Just once before.
There was a time when I defeated Heo Ju and obtained [Heir of the Corpse Pile] in the same way as now.
At that time, I didn't have the same abilities as I do now, so I had to go through a lot of hard work to acquire them. However, 6 madnesses came with compensation.
I couldn't handle the craziness and couldn't play anymore. Honestly, if I had just quit Cthulhu World back then, I wouldn't be in this situation right now... … .
In any case, it is a very inefficient achievement characteristic. That's why I didn't do the same thing again after that.
But it's different now.
Pachijijijijik!!!
Blue sparks fly at my temples.
[System: The exclusive attribute 'Abyss Madness' is activated. The madness given to your mind disappears.]
This is it.
This makes it possible to omit the penalty and only take advantage.
[System: There is a place inside the base that has not yet been explored. Investigate the entire mansion and obtain the remaining rewards.]
'You can sort that out slowly.'
[Experience Bonus: You have achieved a total of (3) achievements in The Hungry Mansion.]
[You have gained enough experience and have reached the next level. The level increases by 1.]
[You have reached level 31!
As a level achievement reward, you have received a bonus ability point (1) that can be freely distributed.]
I put the bonus stat into mental strength without hesitation.
If there are no special variables, I plan to measure mental strength next time as well.
The goal is to get pure 16, and later add the Spirit +2 artifact to reach 20.
'Well, if I get another artifact before that, I'll think again.'
[For you who have gained enough experience, the use of 3rd level magic has been unlocked. Please note that in order to use 3rd level magic in earnest, you need to obtain or learn a grimoire containing 3rd level spells.]
[System: The 'Spell Mastery' trait is activated. You automatically learn the basic spells that exist in the 3rd tier.]
Magics that can be used by unlocking the 3rd tier have been added, but they are far less than the number of spells that can be obtained in the 1st and 2nd tier.
This is because from now on, the number of things that can be considered basic magic will decrease significantly.
But there is no big problem. Conversely, after level 30, the number of grimoires and unique magics I can obtain will increase rapidly.
To that end, it was important to secure a proper base during this period.
Ultimately, my spec was as follows.
****
Shinhwa Kim
Class: Wizard looking into the abyss
Level: 31
Magic Level: Level 3
Madness: [Mask obsession]. [Fish phobia]
Strength 5(+3) (Ring of Corrupted Flame)
health 7
Agility 8
Intelligence 30
Spirit 15(+2) (Body Snatcher's Necklace)
charm 18

"Is this the end?"
It took a long time just to settle the quest.
As soon as the sun rises, I go to Geumchon-dong and pack up the belongings I had hidden in my studio apartment, and this terrible moving operation will end.
"Oh, of course I have to register it and pay a fee to Tudor… … ."
The magical ownership is mine, but it also has a court and a deed.
There may be a few things that are difficult to handle, such as the previous owner's death, but those can be taken care of by dark merchants or brokers rolling around in the back alleys of Paju.
The message windows that were blocking my view were properly organized, and when I could slowly move my gaze to other places, a new message was displayed.
[System: 'Summons – Ghost Golems' request magical power. According to the established contract, the amount of magical power requested by the summon is automatically transmitted.]
And the horsepower is automatically sucked out.
[System: 'Summons – Ghost Golems' request magical power. According to the established contract, the amount of magical power requested by the summon is automatically transmitted.]
As Heoju's belongings were transferred to me, problems arose that I did not have to manage until now.
Magic power continues to be sucked out.
"Oops, the magical ownership transfer process hasn't been completed yet."
The direction in which the lost magical energy goes is... … .
It is on the first floor.
[System: 'Summons – Ghost Golems' request magical power. According to the stipulated contract… … .]
"You crazy, stop taking it!"
I hurriedly ran down to the first floor.
* * *
Geek... … I'm so excited... … .
The condition of the first floor was truly appalling.
The traces of the battle remained, and more than anything, the problem was that… … .
[System: 'Summons – Ghost Golems' request magical power.]
Geek... … I'm so excited... … .
These are command golems.
Heoju, the owner of the mansion, disappeared and everything that remained in the mansion became my property.
Of course, the command golems that Heoju had been using also became my property.
The problem is that transferring ownership does not change the current status.
Let's go… … Geek... … Geek… … Geek... … Geek… … Crackling, snapping! Kkwajajajag, wajajajag!
"Oh, it's so noisy!"
It is a spirit golem whose entire body is made up of miscellaneous items, fixtures, and furniture.
Every time I move it, there is a popping sound.
All of those guys are leaning against a wall near the living room and attacking each other in unnatural positions.
Most of them are even burning with fireballs attached to their bodies.
Therefore, it is a structure that will break down on its own even if left alone.
A spirit golem whose body has been damaged beyond a certain level begins work to restore its body according to established procedures.
Of course, it is not fixed for free.
[System: 'Summons – Ghost Golems' request magical power. According to the established contract, the amount of magical power requested by the summon is automatically transmitted.]
Magic power being sucked away in a lump again.
"ha… … ."
Who should you blame?
I am the one who created this situation.
'First turn off the fire.'
widely!
I snapped my fingers and erased the magical flames from their bodies.
This alone significantly reduced the consumption of magical energy that was being sucked away.
"Now I have to get it out of the wall…" … ."
The fire has been extinguished, but the command golem is still unable to escape.
Giggeek, Gikkigeek… … Geek… … Geek… … .
I'm sorry, but it's impossible.
These guys aren't stuck to the wall in a physical way.
Stuck in the wall.
This is a bug that often occurs in 3D games.
In this mansion, and in the world of [Cthulhu World], there are walls and objects that look fine to the eye, but for some reason can be passed through as if they are not real.
Among stagnant objects, such places are often memorized and used as a trick to shorten the travel route.
However, abuse is prohibited.
Among such 'holes', there are those that become stuck and cannot move while passing through them.
Kwajak! Kwasik! Kwaja Jajajak!
As they struggle to somehow escape the wall, they crash into each other and destroy each other.
Then self-repair.
[System: 'Summons – Ghost Golems' request magical power.]
Stop taking it!
"Heoju, what was that bastard thinking when he wrote these things as good things… … ?"
If you include the corpse golems, which are lower versions of the ghost golems, there are as many as 30 of these.
Although the sponsor [The One Who Comes from the Darkness] provided magical power... … .
"You've managed to maintain this crazy system."
This is why in the previous fight, Heoju was unable to fight properly even with the magical power of [The One Who Comes from the Dark], a being from the abyss.
Heoju seems to have thought that it was a spring of water that would never dry up.
So, they must have been maintaining this inefficient system.
But even if there is a little problem, it is like this.
"Okay, anyway, stop commenting now."
First, I have to solve the problem of the spirit golems continuing to suck my mana.
He raised his magic power towards the spirit golems and made a hand seal.
Paaaaat!
Dozens of large and small magic circles appear around me.
Magic circles made from a combination of complex symbols and profane patterns interact with each other as they orbit or rotate on their own around different magic circles.
I moved my magic as I looked around at the dazzling sight.
Jiiiing… … .
Several magic circles fly towards me.
My will and the magic circle were synchronized.
"Let's see… … Is it connected?"
I gave a command while touching the nearby magic circle with my finger.
"stop."
Pop.
The command golems, each struggling in an unnatural way, stopped moving all at once.
In some ways, it is a scene that can be said to be eerie.
But the only feeling I felt when facing such a scene was joy.
It feels like I got a huge toy box.
After examining the magic circle some more, he issued a new command.
"decomposition."
The moment the command was given, the bonds between the objects that made up the bodies of the command golems were broken.
This means that all the miscellaneous items hanging on the wall began to pour out all at once.
Rumbling!! Wow! Clink… … !
"Okay, simple. "Something was a little broken, though."
Now it's time for some fun reassembly.
