Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 5 - The World is Topsy-turvy



Sometimes, the world is more like a movie than movies, more like a manga than manga, and more makjang than makjang dramas.

Why am I suddenly saying this? It’s simple. It’s because of Kim Ju-hwan, my second card reading customer in my life, who got his fortune told and succeeded in confessing.

Roughly the day after that fierce-looking customer left full of confidence after getting his fortune told, I received a call from an unknown number.

When I answered, it was my second customer Kim Ju-hwan, and what he said to me while extremely excited was truly amazing.

Can you believe it, he said he followed my fortune telling and confessed as I told him, and it succeeded?

I couldn’t understand at all why such a bizarre confession method that wouldn’t even appear in manga succeeded, but hearing it made me curious too, so I directly asked him how it happened, and the answer was truly a sight to behold.

[First, as you instructed, I called her to a secluded alley where few people pass.]

He said it was a very secluded alley where people rarely pass, but surprisingly, she appeared quite willingly.

Taking her to the deepest part of that secluded alley, he…

[And then, as you said, I confessed directly with as much charisma as possible!]

He really confessed exactly as I said, slamming the wall with a bang! while confessing.

Very, very boldly.

And this unbelievable method…

[Then, wouldn’t you know, she accepted while blushing?!]

…Surprisingly, it worked! Perfectly at that!

[Really, just as you said, she had been interested in me too!]

She really had been interested in him too!

Apparently, it hit her straight in her preferences or something? Anyway, that’s what happened.

And finally, after accepting the guest’s confession, she…

[…With her face turned red, she suggested to me right there. She said she wanted to do it right now, right there, that she wanted to feel how much I loved her right at that moment.]

She made an incredibly bold suggestion, and the guest accepted that request.

[Honestly, if it were normally, I would have refused such a request as it’s too burdensome. But… seeing how your words were hitting the mark one after another, how could I refuse?!]

They ended up making passionate love outdoors, in broad daylight.

[Hehe… She really did like it a bit hard, just as you said… But I can handle that too! Because I love her!]

They apparently enjoyed themselves outdoors several times, and not satisfied with just that, they went to a hotel and enjoyed themselves all day long.

“Huh, huuh…”

I’m really dizzy…

No, to think that nonsensical fortune telling all came true again! And in such a dizzying way!!

I felt like I was about to faint.

Setting aside the fact that my fortune telling came true again, for it to happen in such a dizzying way! I was truly speechless.

‘What kind of development is this that you’d only see in manhwa…!!’

Isn’t this the kind of development you’d only see in some erotic manga…!

‘…Ah geez, I don’t know anymore…!’

But it’s not like I can say anything when he says the confession succeeded and things went well, especially after receiving such a large sum of money…

In the end, I congratulated the guest.

“Ha, haha… Congratulations… I’m glad things worked out well… haha…”

It was a bit of an awkward congratulation, but maybe because he was so happy, the guest didn’t mind.

[Hahaha! It’s nothing! It’s all thanks to you, sir! If it weren’t for you, things wouldn’t have worked out this well, and I’d still be in an ambiguous situation! Thank you again, sir!!]

Ah… I felt somewhat guilty…

But then when I looked at the 3 million won fortune telling fee next to me, it felt like it was being healed…

Could this be what they call financial therapy…?

Just as I was lost in these idle thoughts, a shocking statement came out of his mouth that snapped me back to attention.

[It might be a bit presumptuous to say I’m repaying your kindness, but I’ve also promoted you a bit to my colleagues!]

“What?! No, why would you do such a thing…!!”

No, just having my fortune read twice is making me dizzy and giving me a stomachache, why would you do such an unnecessary thing…!!

[Haha! Don’t worry too much! They’re all capable superhumans with a lot of money, so they’ll pay well! It might be insignificant money compared to your skills, sir, but it should be suitable for some light work!]

This damned customer, repaying kindness with enmity…!!

I felt a sensation like the back of my neck was being pulled.

How on earth did things end up flowing this way…!

[Hahaha! It seems I’ve taken up too much of your precious time, sir! I should wrap this up now! Next time I visit, I’ll make sure to bring something! Then, please take care of yourself, sir!]

“Ah, no, wait a moment!! Sir! Sir!!”

Click!

I desperately called out to stop him, but the call had already been hung up long ago.

After the very polite guest’s call ended, my mind went blank. I felt my mental state crumbling like powder.

“It must be… a dream?”

Damn it, dream my foot! There’s no way it’s a dream!

“Or maybe… those words just now were just lip service?”

It seemed better to put my hope in this.

Yeah…! It was just lip service! It’s like catching a mouse while the cow backs up, what fortune telling could I possibly do! Haha!

But, making such hopeful circuits futile, the world was very cruel.

The second customer, B-rank superhuman Kim Ju-hwan, who was deeply impressed by the fortune teller teacher’s excellent fortune-telling skills, very passionately told his team colleagues about this love story and spread the word about the fortune teller teacher’s excellence.

Originally, he was the type of person who kept things to himself, but the fortune teller’s mystical fortune-telling skills had such a devilish charm that it made even such a person’s mouth very light!

Of course, it was just a misunderstanding.

And as such passionate promotion of the fortune teller continued, Team Leader Kang Min-ji, who smiled with satisfaction, appropriately blended into that promotion and advertised the fortune teller teacher’s skills, resulting in many team members falling for that secret temptation and getting their fortunes told.

Much to Dam Han-ul’s misfortune.

As several months passed like that…

There was no superhuman in Min-ji’s team who hadn’t used Dam Han-ul’s fortune-telling service, and Dam Han-ul buried his face in his blanket and shed a roomful of tears.

“Sob! Why are things flowing this way! Why do the fortunes keep coming true!!”

The most surprising point was that the accuracy rate of those fortunes was 100%.

Every fortune he told came true!

It seemed like an incredibly mysterious coincidence, but if he actually tried buying a lottery ticket, it was as if he had used up all his luck on fortune-telling, and he couldn’t even win 5th place once.

However, even if such things happened, it was an incredibly burdensome affair for Dam Han-ul, an ordinary unemployed civilian.

Ah, of course, when he turned his head and looked at the pile of money, it felt like it was being healed. But then the problem was that his state would roll back again later.

But still, it was true that the incoming money was sweet. Not just money, but various gifts were coming in too.

So Dam Han-ul started rationalizing to himself.

“Phew… Well, it’s true that it’s pretty good, right? Let’s just maintain this state… Money is coming in well, and I don’t need to work hard…”

Forcibly giving fortunes he didn’t know how to read, and an ordinary civilian like himself giving fortunes to superhumans from large guilds was a very burdensome thing.

It felt somewhat like he was committing fraud, and he was also afraid that by associating with them, he might get involved in something he couldn’t handle.

But… still, you can’t put spilled water back in… There’s no choice but to go on…

I’ve already asked them in advance ‘Due to circumstances, it’s burdensome for me to give fortunes to more people, so please don’t increase the number of customers anymore’, so the number of customers shouldn’t increase anymore.

“Yeah… Now that things have come to this, let’s just maintain the status quo… The incoming money is sweet after all…!”

But, Dam Han-ul didn’t know.

That day words are heard by birds and night words are heard by rats!

That although Min-ji, Ju-hwan, and the team members had stopped promoting, rumors had already spread far and wide!

And that while many people scoffed at these rumors as groundless, there were also many who thought about trying it out as a last resort!

“…So, you’re saying there exists an amazing fortune teller whose fortunes come 100% true?”

[That’s what I’m saying? Isn’t it an incredibly ridiculous rumor? How could such a person exist in this world? To think such an absurd rumor is circulating in my guild…]

“Why would such a rumor spread?”

[How would I know? Maybe some fortune teller’s business wasn’t doing well?]

“Hmm… Could I get more details about that rumor?”

[Huh? Are you interested in this kind of thing? Well, it’s nothing special, so I don’t mind…]

“Look into it a bit and let me know. Got it? I’m counting on you.”

And among them, Cheong So-ha, the guild master of Cheongson Guild, another of Korea’s top 10 guilds and a close friend of Hwajin Guild’s guild master,

“Ho… They say there’s a fortune teller with amazing prophetic abilities…?”

Kukukuku-

“…This is interesting. I was bored, so this is perfect.”

And a big shot from a certain underworld who happened to be staying in Korea, caught their attention.

Achoo!

“Ahem… Is someone talking about me…?”

Of course, Dam Han-ul was completely unaware of these facts.
