===================

The soul linkage of Tae-ju and Tang Gun-ak.

The dimensional exchange carried out through the shared storage of the Infinite Space as a medium.

Through movies and dramas, the immortals were at least able to experience Earth’s culture indirectly.

But that alone was not enough.

Could indirect experience compare with direct experience?

The thoughts they had always had in the Immortal Realm, if they ever got to go to Earth, they wanted to try this too and go there too.

One of the places that especially appeared often in dramas or films.

That place was the club.

One might say, What sort of immortal inappropriately takes interest in someplace like a club,

but how could curiosity not arise?

Brilliant lights, music that automatically raised the excitement, mating, that is, numerous young men and women gathered for the purpose of yin-yang union.

The union of yin and yang was an extremely natural thing.

Through it, the world was maintained and civilization continued.

It was right that it should be actively encouraged among young men and women.

Of course, Sword Immortal had not come here for the purpose of yin-yang union.

It was merely from curiosity.

And to stack up an achievement title.

When he returned to the Immortal Realm, he should at least have something to boast of, saying, ‘I’ve been there too. Though there wasn’t much to it.’

First, let him observe the situation at the entrance.

Sword Immortal knew this from dramas too.

That if you were old or dressed shabbily, you’d get entrance-banned at the door.

‘If you’re handsome and tall, then you pass safely.’

The same was true for women.

Of course, there were also those who entered regardless of appearance.

People who looked rich at a glance.

Or awakened with markings on their faces.

These people passed safely regardless of appearance or gender.

‘Youth, money, and awakened, then…’

The conditions could be matched if he wished.

Since a handsome appearance came equipped by default, he only had to become younger.

Sword Immortal cast rejuvenation.

Ah, rejuvenation merely to avoid getting entrance-banned at a club.

…So what if he did?

His wrinkles smoothed out, his eyebrows and white hair became black hair.

Ururururu, even the beard was plucked out down to the roots.

‘Hmm,’

Sword Immortal checked his face with his smartphone.

‘Handsome.’

As expected, it was a face that would not lose anywhere.

One final thing.

‘It would be good to make it certain.’

Seureureureuk,

awakening markings naturally appeared from his left cheek to under his chin.

Now it was perfect.

Who would not see him as an awakened?

Sword Immortal naturally walked toward the club entrance.

He did not even stand in line.

Because all the awakened he had seen until now did so.

But,

“Hold on, did you come alone?”

“Th-that I did.”

“You’re awakened, then. We need an awakened ID. There are so many fakes these days.”

“I didn’t bring it.”

“Uh, then you can’t ente…”

“Instead, I have this.”

Sword Immortal waved the black card Tae-ju had given him before the entrance guard’s eyes.

“Ah!”

The guard nodded.

The Baekdu black card only for VVIPs.

You could not possess it merely because you had a lot of money.

The same went for awakened.

At minimum, you had to be a superior expert or above before it was even possible to get one.

He was not all that handsome.

A face that would have gotten entrance-banned if he weren’t an awakened.

But if the clothes he wore were all luxury goods, the watch he wore was genuine, and on top of that he possessed a black card?

“Go on in. If there’s an MD you’re looking for…”

“Connect me with anyone.”

Thus Sword Immortal entered with proud steps into Arabia Octagon, said to be Gangnam’s greatest club.

Three bottles of champagne and the room cost came to five million won in advance payment.

Thus an achievement title had been attained.

If this were a game situation, then…

[You have attained an achievement.]

[An immortal clubber who successfully entered a top-class club.]

It would surely appear like that.

Whatever he did, was it not all the first time?

Experiences he had never had in the human world or in the Immortal Realm.

‘Heuheuheu, they’ll all be dumbfounded.’

The achievements he was accomplishing one by one.

All of these were things to boast about.

[The first immortal to descend to Earth.]

[An immortal star instructor who took a disciple on Earth.]

[A chaebol immortal who uses a VVIP black card.]

[A racing immortal who reached 250 km/h on a new-model bike.]

[A gourmet immortal who has tasted top-grade mango bingsu.]

.

.

.

Every one of them had to be recorded in videos or photos and left behind.

Only then would he not be treated as a boaster.

When he had revealed before that he had met Hero Tae-ju in a dream, how much had they ignored him, calling it a mere fever dream?

This time he had evidence, so they would have no way to wriggle out of it.

They would probably die of envy.

If there was one regret at all,

‘They say if you stay alone like this, women sometimes approach to ask for your number…’

However, no matter how long he waited, no one came.

He understood why.

‘It’s because I’m too handsome.’

It was certain.

They must have given up on trying to get his number from the start, assuming he already had an owner.

What a pity.

To think being too handsome would become an obstacle.

It was a chance to attain the title [An immortal whose number was asked for by a young beauty at a club], though of course he had intended to refuse politely.

Still, he had already attained plenty of other achievements…

‘Shall I leave now?’

Apart from here, there were too many achievements yet to attain.

But then,

‘Hm?’

Over there, one club MD was forcibly dragging along a woman who was in a completely drunk state.

‘Tsk tsk, she drank much too much.’

For harmonious yin-yang union, it was best to drink in moderation too.

The moment they passed right beside him!

A very impure smell drifted from the woman’s body.

Something had been mixed into the alcohol.

Would you look at this?

‘He drugged her.’

He had seen through dramas that things similar to this sometimes happened in clubs.

Sword Immortal did not like it.

By all rights, yin-yang union ought to proceed through agreement between man and woman.

‘I can’t just sit still.’

Moreover, it was a chance to eradicate injustice and obtain a title.

‘Will I get to experience directly something I only saw in dramas and films?’

And a role granted only to the protagonist, at that?

‘Another thing to boast about will be born, then.’

Sword Immortal slowly followed behind.

* * *

Tsuchida Tomoya was the third-generation chaebol heir of Fuji Construction, a Japanese-affiliated conglomerate that dominated Samhan’s apartment industry, and at the same time a shareholder in Arabia Octagon.

There was prey Tsuchida had been working on for a long time.

An actress.

A rookie actress whose name value had risen because a drama she appeared in as a minor supporting role had become a hit.

He liked her.

Her face, of course, and her body was top grade as well.

That was why she was popular even though she was only a supporting actress.

But she absolutely would not yield.

He had approached her directly at the filming site or at her management company, but it had gotten him nowhere.

Then he learned some information.

That rookie actress Lee Yun-mi had come today to play at Arabia Octagon together with friends.

She probably did not know even in her dreams.

That he was a shareholder here.

So he began his move.

First he seduced her friends.

After separating them from her one by one, he drugged the alcohol.

The friends would be out of their minds.

He had even attached handsome men to them and gotten them drunk with the finest liquor.

“Hey! Isn’t she here yet? You said it was all set.”

“Don’t worry, they’re bringing her now.”

“It’s hard enough to get one look at an actress.”

“You’re only trying to look and leave?”

“Ei, of course not. There’s the trouble we went through waiting.”

There was one friend in the room as well.

A Japanese-affiliated regular-ranked awakened named Arai Kento.

“By the way, Tsuchida.”

“What?”

“Are you going to date that bitch?”

“Kikikik, if I were going to date her, I’d use the straightforward method. Why would I drug her?”

“Then can I have one bite too after?”

“After I eat, you eat.”

“Oh! Sugoi!”

At length, the door opened.

A woman with dazed eyes was brought in almost slung over the MD’s shoulder.

“She’s here. Is that Lee Yun-mi?”

“Heuheuheu, that’s right.”

Lee Yun-mi could not get her head clear.

She could not control her body at all.

She wanted to scream, but the words would not come out.

‘Wh-where did my friends go?’

She had only casually drunk the beer set on the table, and from then on her mind had begun to go hazy.

Even so, she could still clearly recognize that bastard’s face.

‘…Tsuchida Tomoya, you son of a bitch,’

When he panted after her like a dog in heat and she didn’t go the way he wanted, he had ended up doing this?

She had to get out of here.

But resistance was impossible.

She did not even have the strength to struggle.

All she could do was stare with dim eyes at what they were doing inside the room.

Tsuchida handed a thick wad of money to the MD and said,

“Good work. Go buy yourself a meal with this.”

“Thank you.”

Then, grabbing Lee Yun-mi by the hair,

“You Chosun bitch! If you’d accepted the sponsorship offer from the start, none of this would’ve happened. You would’ve landed our apartment ad too.”

At that sight, the MD who had received the money slowly turned around and grabbed the doorknob.

Now all that was left was to keep the door shut from outside until it was over…

It was then.

Kwaaang!

The entire door blew inward.

“Huk?”

Pueok!

The wooden door flew as it was and smashed into the MD’s head.

“Keok!”

Then a man who looked like an Awakener strode in, saying words they could not understand.

“Achievements are strewn about in heaps.”

Tsuchida Tomoya and Arai Kento were startled.

Seeing his face, he looked like an Awakener, but why was he here?

Arai was the first to stand up.

“Chikshou! Who are you? Do you even know where this is?”

But instead of an answer, a large fist flew at him.

Pueok!

“Keek!”

“Heoheoheo, beating up an Awakener on Earth is not exactly a common experience either.”

He had only been hit once.

It was just a fist, yet he had not even been able to dodge it.

‘Uh…?’

Tsuchida panicked.

Pukpukpukpuk!

His friend Arai was a regular-grade Awakener, yet he was being beaten without being able to do anything.

This bastard came in, grinning, and started beating them out of nowhere.

“Excellent!”

Pukpukpukpuk!

Though he had already fallen after one blow, he kept getting beaten.

And he was even being beaten with only one hand.

With the other hand, the man was filming a smartphone video.

Tsuchida Tomoya quietly got up and tried to slip away.

The best policy was always to avoid lunatics.

But,

“Uh-uh, where do you think you’re going?”

“Huiik!”

Puk!

Tsuchida Tomoya too got hit once.

“Kuek!”

Pukpukpukpuk!

Sword Immortal carefully adjusted his strength and beat them satisfyingly.

Even if there was no hand feel at all, was not all of this something to brag about?

Just thinking of gathering the immortals and recounting this heroic tale to them later was thrilling beyond measure.

He beat one bastard until he got bored, then beat the other one, then set the two of them together and alternated blows between them, and just kept beating them.

He beat them while looking forward to the happy moment later.

Then suddenly,

“Hm?”

Sword Immortal paused the beating for a moment.

A woman collapsed on the sofa caught his eye.

“Surely…”

He walked over to her, still insensible.

“Oh!”

He grabbed her hand at once.

Then he raised immortal qi and drove the effects of the drug out of her body.

“Aren’t you Actress Lee Yun-mi, who appeared in Strange Judge Yun A-yun? The one who played the heroine’s fellow judge there.”

“…Ah, yes.”

“I’m a fan! Hahaha.”

Strange Judge Yun A-yun, once the most popular drama in the Immortal Realm.

It had received especially high praise from the judges and reapers of the Netherworld.

Lee Yun-mi too had appeared in a supporting role and, with her refreshing verdict against criminals, had given the people of the Immortal Realm and Netherworld a satisfying release.

“If I could just get one photo together…”

Lee Yun-mi was bewildered.

He suddenly appeared, beat Tsuchida Tomoya and his friend like dogs, and now was suddenly grabbing her hand?

She had thought he was the same sort, but when he held her hand, the drug effects vanished at once.

And then he asked to take a picture because he was a fan, with an innocent face.

“Th-then go ahead.”

“The honor is mine. My companions will probably be so shocked they’ll faint.”

Click!

Making a V sign, he took a photo with her.

[An immortal who took a selfie with a celebrity and received a reward.]

“If it were up to me, I’d like to talk more about the drama, but you’ve gone through something terrible, so forget it all and go home and sleep soundly.”

“…Yes.”

“As for these bastards, they still don’t seem beaten enough.”

Then he started beating them again.

Pukpukpukpuk!

When it seemed they had lost consciousness, he woke them with immortal qi and beat them again.

Pukpukpukpuk!

“Ack! Ack! Pl-please spar…!”

“Pl-please, I-I was wr… aaaaagh!”

And while he was beating them for quite a while,

“Don’t move! Hands up!”

Police who had rushed in at some point.

Sword Immortal’s eyes gleamed.

‘An achievement.’

Sword Immortal stopped beating them and obediently stretched out both arms.

“Ahem, put handcuffs on me.”

“…”

The police hesitated while looking at the assault suspect smiling brightly after reducing two people to such a miserable state, but

Click!

They still safely put the handcuffs on him.

[An immortal suspect handcuffed after being arrested by the police.]

Achievements were endless.
