Accidentally Becoming a Great Prophet?!

Chapter 95 - A Day with the Dead



After finishing the fortune-telling, I started moving to handle the task.
‘By the way, this feels quite strange?’
Usually, even if I did a fortune-telling, I hardly ever moved directly. Since I was paid to do the fortune-telling, in the end, the person who came for the fortune-telling took care of resolving the issue themselves.
But this time, because I had a prophetic dream, I came directly and am in a situation where I’m asking for a favor…
So I’m doing the fortune-telling and also moving to solve the problem myself.
Hmm, this feels unexpectedly quite strange. Me doing a fortune-telling and moving directly to solve the problem…
How should I put it, it feels like I’ve truly become an indispensable part of the superhuman industry now, and it gives me a very peculiar feeling.
I’m still just an ordinary citizen, but the things that come with it are excessively many, so this is also a problem.
‘Ah, enough, enough. There’s no use in overthinking unnecessarily…’
Anyway, the important thing now is contact!
I need to gather the mountain gods, right?
And the contact was made very simply.
[It’s a simple matter. Just leave it to me.]
“Fufu, it’s an easy task!”
Arin and Dalgi, who are as versatile as they are strong, easily contacted the two mountain gods.
[Hooo… so such a thing happened?]
“Calling back the dead! It’s certainly not an ordinary matter!”
[I thought from the start that your ability was extraordinary, but you really get involved in all sorts of things!]
“Well, it’s not rare for an extraordinary person to be often swept up in the winds of the world, is it?”
[That’s true. Kekeke…]
“Anyway! To get back to the point, my answer is that I gladly accept the teacher’s request! Well, I owe you a life debt, so I can’t refuse such a small favor!]
[Hmm… calling back a dead person for a moment… it’s certainly an interesting matter. Kekekeke! I was getting bored, so this is perfect! I’ll participate too!]
“Oh, thank you so much!”
And fortunately, Old Man Hoseo and Baekrok, the mountain god of Hallasan, gladly accepted the proposal.
“But even if it’s just bringing back the dead for one night, calling back the dead is no ordinary matter. It’s a difficult task even in our domain, so even with two mountain gods, we might not be able to exert such great power in such a distant land…”
“Ah, that’s okay. I have a helper in mind.”
“Hahah! I worried for nothing! There’s no way you wouldn’t have foreseen such a thing! I apologize!”
“Oh my, what apology!”
By the way, it’s not Arin or Dalgi. I asked and looked into it, but they have no talent in that area. Unless it’s about killing or protecting something.
It’s not like I have a direct connection with them either… but well, it’s a figure I have an indirect connection with.
“Is there anyone else you need to contact?”
“Ah, this time it’s okay. A phone call will do.”
I picked up the phone and scrolled through the numbers, then saw a name I hadn’t seen in a while and pressed it to connect.
And before long, the other party answered the phone.
[Oh! Isn’t this Teacher Dam Han-ul! Hoho… it’s been quite a while since you contacted me!]
“Haha… Have you been well? It’s been a long time.”
The person I contacted this time is none other than ‘Taesan’ Hwang Min-wook.
He’s the oldest among South Korea’s S-rank superhumans and was once the strongest superhuman in Korea.
[For you to contact me like this… did some problem arise?]
“Ah, well… it’s nothing major, but do you remember a bear called Hwang-ung?”
[You mean the Hwang-ung who had an arm wrestling match with me? Of course I remember! He’s now a friend I meet often! Hohoho!]
What, they became friends?? This makes things easier!
“I’d like to talk to that friend Hwang-ung a bit… would that be possible?”
[Of course! How could I refuse a request from you! As luck would have it, Hwang-ung just came to visit my house, so this works out well!]
Oh, he happened to be nearby?
Anyway, a little later, I was able to talk with Hwang-ung.
[Kuong! So you’re the teacher called Dam Han-ul! I’ve heard a lot about you! You introduced me to my friend Hwang Min-wook!]
“Haha, it’s our first time talking directly. Nice to meet you~.”
[Cut to the chase and tell me why you wanted to talk to me?]
“Ah, that’s because I’d like to borrow Hwang-ung’s power.”
Hwang-ung isn’t a mountain god, but he’s close to one, a monster with divine energy.
And he’s also someone who has many special items. Hmm, if I had to say… wouldn’t the term ‘spirit beast’ suit him perfectly?
Actually, Hwang-ung’s power itself is insignificant compared to other mountain gods, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be helpful, and the items he has will be of great help.
“By any chance, don’t you have a precious item related to necromancy that can call spirits?”
[Huh?! How did you know!? As expected of the amazing teacher they say you are…!! What astonishing divine power! Can you see a thousand miles while sitting still?! Kuong kuong!]
Oh, as expected. So he does have it!
Fortune-telling really is high-performance~.
“Could you help me with that? I want to call back a dead person to this world for a moment.”
[Hmm… I understand kuong! If you’re the benefactor of Min-wook, then you’re my benefactor! It’s not strange to help my benefactor once!]
And this loyal bear gladly accepted my proposal.
Wow, I’ve seen it before, but this is really an amazing bear.
Being close friends with an S-rank superhuman, being loyal, and being versatile with many possessions despite his rank.
They say the world is wide, but it’s not like such a fellow is common.
[Ah, but where is that place? I need to know to move there!]
“That’s okay. We’ll bring you here.”
This time, I asked Dokma who was watching me nearby.
“Can you move the bear I’m talking to on the phone over here?”
“You mean that Hwang-ung fellow? I will. You said he’s in Korea?”
When Wei Zhiying nodded, suddenly a huge poison bubble formed at the tip of her fingers, then fell to the ground, transforming a certain area into poison.
“Hmm, he’s here.”
And in an instant, Dokma’s hand changed into a green liquid-like substance and stretched out, digging into that small area, and then pulled out Hwang-ung, grabbing him by the scruff of his neck.
“Ku, kuong?! What is this!?”
“Oh my, this is our first time meeting in person. I’m Dam Han-ul. You’re Hwang-ung, right?”
“Th-that’s right… but how on earth?!”
That’s right. I don’t know the method either, so I can’t answer you…
EX-ranks are such amazing people after all. It’s more foolish to try to understand.
I gave Wei Zhiying a grateful eye smile, and Wei Zhiying smiled faintly and waved her hand.
“Ah, looking at it, it must be the work of that being… Well, it’s foolish to try to understand the power of such a being kuong.”
Hwang-ung looked at Dokma once and then nodded in understanding, then looked at me and said.
“So what do I need to do? I’ve already packed the item, but I didn’t hear a proper explanation kuong.”
“Ah, just a moment, there are still people coming…”
Woong!
No sooner had my words ended than a hole appeared in the air, and from inside, Go Baekrok wearing baggy white clothes and smiling, and Old Man Hoseo riding on his shoulder, a weasel, jumped out of the air and appeared.
“Here we are!”
[Is this like a long-awaited overseas trip?]
“By the way, you’re calling us to quite a dangerous place! Fortunately, it seems things have been arranged! If not, we might have become walking corpses the moment we connected! Hahaha!”
[Well, this trip’s going to be quite thrilling, eh?]
“…Ahaha, well, now that everyone who needed to gather is here, I’ll start explaining.”
I then explained about the prophetic dream I had, how I came directly to the Great Khan’s domain because of it, and that I’m trying to fulfill what the Great Khan wants in order to get what I want.
I explained everything, including the fact that what Borte Chino Jamukha, the Great Khan, wants is to reunite with his parents for just one day, and the fortunes I saw to make that happen.
“Hooo… so that’s how it happened?”
“It’s more… interesting and mysterious than I thought kuong!”
[You’re getting involved with bigger and bigger figures! What, are you planning to become a behind-the-scenes mastermind moving the world from behind a black curtain? Kekekeke!]
“Oh my, your jokes are quite brutal, old man.”
I really wish you wouldn’t make such jokes, even as jokes…
Anyway, when I explained the plan I had set up based on what I saw in the fortune-telling, the trio of mountain gods in front of me easily understood.
“This is… a plan close to perfection, no joke…!!”
[With this, we could certainly call back even a soul that’s been dead for a long time! As long as it hasn’t completely disappeared yet!]
“You’re saying you figured all this out just with fortune-telling kuong…?? You, teacher, were really a scary person kuong… I hope we can stay as close as possible kuong!”
Dead souls cross over to the netherworld and slowly disappear, returning to nothingness, and those that have returned to nothingness gather again to become new life. That is the world’s cycle through death.
And for beings at the level of mountain gods, it wasn’t impossible to slightly interfere with that cycle. After all, they were divine beings.
However, even they couldn’t perfectly call back a soul that had been dead for over 10 years. But the fortune-teller in front of them…
‘…Hasn’t he created a way to achieve a perfect momentary revival with just a little effort…?’
Moreover, it seems like with just a little more, even perfect resurrection of the dead could be accomplished.
The mountain gods once again felt how absurdly incredible the being in front of them was.
Even more so as he was carrying out such a great feat as if it were nothing.
Whether aware or unaware of the mountain gods’ thoughts, Dam Han-ul was only thinking about handling the task at hand well.
“Well then, shall we start moving? We do have some time, but it’s better to prepare perfectly and then rest, right?”
The mountain gods, feeling sympathy for the unknown enemy who had unfortunately gotten involved with this absurd being, began to move according to Dam Han-ul’s words.
