ACT 2 Change Profession Quest

[Important Translators Note:

So Ive finally received confirmation in this chapter that Jewel was a male all along. Therefore I will keep his name as Jewel butwill be referring to him as male starting from this chapter. Previous chapters will be edited to reflect this.Sorry for themisunderstanding.

Another change Ive made is <King> set to <Animal King> set.]

Hey, Baekgu.

B-Baekgu? Who is that?

Albert who was lying on the ground looked up and asked.Ark replied with a shrewd expression.

That is your name from now on.

B-but I am called Albert..

Ohh, you dont like the name I gave you?

Albert flinched and retreated as Arks face tightened.He was still trying to keep his rebellious spirit?It didnt seem like it at the momentwith his ears and tail drooping while the body was trembling.Albert entreated in a quivering voice.

Yes, I understand.Call me Baekgu or whatever you want. Ill come whenever you call

Hmm, seems like my discipline was effective.

Ark nodded with a pleased face.In fact, there was a reason he had beaten up Albert so intensely. In order to raise a pet dog, the relationship between Master and servant had to be made clear from the beginning. If he went easy on a wild animal in the beginning then it would become more difficult to tame later on. Albert was a member of the wolf species. Ark had no guarantee that he wouldnt become rebellious later on.That was also the reason why he changed Alberts name into one commonly used for dogs. Now Albert would remember todays pain every time he was called Baekgu.

Okay Baekgu. I dont need to say it again, but from today onwards you will be Buksils pet dog. Do you understand? Youre rank in the group is at the very bottom. Naturally Buksil and my summons are your superiors. Understood?

Buksil.

Albert, no Baekgu growled Buksils name in a low voice. Although he had submitted to Ark, Baekgu was still a member of the wolf species. It would be fine if he was serving Ark who was the descendant of Hero Maban, but being the subordinate of a pig injured his pride.

Whats with that look? Do you have a complaint?

Ah, no its fine!

However, he immediately became a pet dog again as soon as Ark frowned.Ark stroked Baekgus head a little bit before looking at Buksil.

Okay, okay. Thats a good dog. Hey Buksil. Do you have a problem with your subordinate? Youll take care of Baekgu from now on.

Huh? M-me?

Of course. Youre the one who wanted some help.

Although Baekgu was a servant, it would still cost money to feed him.The reason Ark wanted Buksil to raise Baekgu was so that all the expenses would go to Buksil.Buksil felt like crying after having the food expenses of Baekgu shoved on him, but he didnt dare complain after seeing Arks previous violence.

Damn, as expected I couldnt oppose Ark-nim.

In the end Buksil was just left with regrets.In order to change the atmosphere, Ark clapped his hands.

Now, lets start working earnestly!

Huh? Working? What do you have left to do?

Well, there is one more important thing.

Ark nodded with a serious face.

Huhuhu, now comes the happy epilogue after the happy ending.

Yes, the really important information in fairy tales wasnt the body. The part that always wowed the readers was what came after the happy ending. Did the nice and hardworking protagonist become rich?

However, the world isnt as insignificant as portrayed in the stories. In reality, the hero would die after suffering miserably.

It wasnt possible to end a story with this as it would crush a childs hopes and dreams.In the end, the only thing that gave hopes and dreams to children was a capitalist ideology!That was what Ark believed. Therefore he sought as much compensation as possible without any hesitation.

Baekgu, have you lived in this castle for a long time? Show me every corner of this castle.

Of course, his intention wasnt to look around a vampires castle. It was in order to recoup so of the expenses he wasted on making Racard evolve.

This is a guest room.

Wait a minute. Ohh, there are quite a few decorations here?

Ark made Baekgu go around and place a red tag on many items. Then Buksil would pack anything with the red tag into his bags.In fact, Ark had a good eye after working part time in an antique store. It helped him grasp which items were worth money.If Ark was alone then he would carefully choose the items worth the most money. But now there was Buksil. Buksil had emptied all his bags before leaving Seutandal. Furthermore, as an NPC Baekgu also had a small backpack.

I dont need to worry about bag space.

So Ark attached the red tags to items that were even worth 1 copper. Therefore Ark even took the forks, plates and knives.

This is a lot more than I thought it would be.

Ark was especially impressed with the warehouse.In Dark Earth, it was difficult to find items other than decor. He only knew this later, but the Bloody didnt use weapons or armours.The Bloody was a monster that used their claws or thick leather as equipment. Therefore a Bloody would also drop claws or leather when they died. However, there was a considerable number of Moon rocks and general items in the warehouse.

Karakul used to collect some of these items from the coast.

That was the Bloodys explanation.

Huhuhu, Karakul is making me happy even after he died.

Naturally Ark packed all the items stored in the warehouse.

Sheesh, there are no magic items. But I should get 600~700 gold if I dispose of all these items. That barely covers the cost of one summoning port but the income was better than I expected.

Ohhhh, my castle..my castle..

Racard whimpered with tears in his eyes.Who would come to the house of their summons and then deprive it of all the household furniture? The Wolrang watched Racard with pity and muttered.

This is the descendant of Hero Maban that Elder-nim has been waiting for?

Isnt he different from what we heard?

Well..I havent met Hero Maban either

The elder scratched his head with an embarrassed expression.Ark heard their voices but he wasnt embarrassed at all. He didnt know what illusions the Wolrang possessed about Hero Maban but didnt a legendary hero also need to eat?In order to kill the devil, travel expenses were necessary. And this was a game which reflected reality.When a hero enters a house and breaks the jars to look for treasure, why wouldnt a NPC become angry?There was only one reason why they would tolerate it!

Huhuhu, its okay because I am a hero.

Yes, heroes with the occupation of a legendary hero would get a free pass. In addition, Ark had a urgent reason that matched a hero.

Even the descendant of a hero has to save for the rental cost!

Of course, he had money from selling the items from Magaros Laboratory and his booming stores so he wasnt worried about the rental cost. But his assets would reset back to 0 once the house was paid off.

I have to continue saving even 1 copper.

Wasnt Ark the descendant of one of the most legendary heroes in the game? Yet he still couldnt forget about the quest compensation. Therefore Ark finished going through the vampire castle and found the Wolrang elder.

Elder-nim, soon youll be away from the rule of the vampires and can recover your lost glory.

Ah, it is all thanks to you. On behalf of the clan, thank you.

Yes, the Wolrang family can now regain their former glory.

Ark smiled while muttering the same thing.

Why is he repeating it?

Then the elder coughed like he remembered something and spoke.

Cough, I remember that I still need to give you a reward. But as you know, weve lived under Karakuls rule for 100 years so we dont have that much. So will this item be okay?

The elder reached into his backpack and pulled out shoes made from silver leather.
