How to make a contract with the spirits.

The method is divided into two exactly.

Get a job as a spirit sorcerer.

Or make a contract with the spirit sleeping in the spirit stone.

What is a Spirit Stone?

It was a gem that could make a contract with the spirits even if you didn’t have a job like a spiritist.

‘therefore···. Why is this under the floor of my house?’

There wasn’t much information about the spirit stone.

If that’s what you know for sure,

The fact that spirit stones are not by-products of dungeons like Awakening Stones or Magic Stones?

I didn’t plan to find out about the spirit stone in the future, but once it came into my hands like this, I couldn’t find it without trying to find out the information.

That’s what I did after searching on the internet.

Among the circumstances of discovering the spirit stone.

Let’s list some famous stories.

Found where the meteor fell.

Found by accident while digging for mushrooms while hiking.

It was discovered that it had flowed in with the tide from the shore.

I was eating at a restaurant and something got chewed up, so I checked and it was a spirit stone, etc.

‘Wait a minute, the last one looks like a gura.’

anyway.

It is true that they are found in completely unexpected places, but most of them were unreliable and false information.

In other words, it means a gem of unknown origin.

And that unknown jewel is now…

─Assumed to be the corpse of a spirit.

It was held in the hand of an iron rice bowl.

─Give it up!

─In-depth analysis.

arguing with kkaebi,

The iron rice bowl still holding the spirit stone and observing closely.

The gaze of her younger sister Lee Hyun-ji was also fixed on the spirit stone holding the rice bowl in her hand.

“…is that a real spirit stone?”

“If it’s a rice bowl, then that’s it.”

“I’m actually seeing the spirit stone for the first time…”

I also see it for the first time

Spirit stones are not something that can be easily obtained.

Is that lack of information?

The analysis of the iron rice bowl also seemed to take quite a bit of time.

“But why is the spirit stone hidden somewhere like that?”

My sister asked with her gaze fixed on the spirit stone.

“I don’t know. And there was a post saying that I thought it was a urinary stone, but there was a spirit stone embedded in it, but this situation is a nobleman.”

“… that would of course be a gulp. Anyway, this room, no, the mansion itself is strange. At first glance, it doesn’t seem like anyone else is buying it.”

As Hyunji Lee said.

He had never run into any of his neighbors before.

Of course, I didn’t bother.

It was because the people living in the mansion seemed to have a strong reclusive tendency.

“I’d like to move to another house if possible…”

My younger sister sighed to herself and sat down in her seat, while I folded my arms and did not take my eyes off the spirit stone that the rice bowl was analyzing.

‘If it’s black, it must be a dark attribute spirit?’

According to internet information.

Red is infertility.

Light blue is ice or water attribute.

It was a shape that could be judged intuitively like this.

However, it was necessary to look a little differently at the spirit stone that Bobbong was holding.

‘I heard that spirit stones are jewels that contain living spirits.’

Bobbin said that the spirit stone he was holding was the spirit’s corpse.

That’s just because the light of life went out, so there was a possibility that it turned black.

When I was guessing like that.

The iron rice bowl put down the jewelry and spoke.

─attribute, analysis not possible. no contract. dead body. husks.

“The contract is impossible?”

─That’s right.

It was a report of steam leaking.

Even if the properties are not known,

A spirit stone that cannot be contracted with…

Literally the shell of a spirit.

It meant nothing but garbage.

─Available.

Did he even catch the expression of regret on my face?

Bobtong quickly added his words.

─Machinable. absorbable.

The saying that it is possible to process was roughly understood.

Fancy Inventor.

A crafting class that can craft artifacts.

Bobtong took the Awakening Stone in the back room.

Yesterday, I made a simple artifact by processing magic stones.

Likewise.

It must mean that you can process that spirit stone and make it into an artifact.

However, I did not understand that absorption was possible.

So I asked.

“What do you mean by absorption?”

─Can be used as an engine. currently not possible.

“engine? . . Or rather, it is impossible now?”

─The level of existence is low. need to evolve.

Well···.

Let’s interpret.

When you evolve one step further.

You can process spirit stones and attach them to your body, what is this?

The moment I ask if my understanding is correct.

-Mama.

Kkaebi approached and tugged on my trousers and said,

“yes? Kaebi, why?”

─This. was below

Kkaebi handed over an envelope out of nowhere.

“You were down there?”

─Kei. floor. was below

Once I was handed an envelope.

On the surface, these letters were written in large letters.

『Lee Young-woong should see it alone.』

······I quickly put it in my pocket.

Did that look awkward?

My sister asked, wriggling her eyebrows.

“what is that? Why hide?”

I was silent for a while.

I’m trying to say it’s nothing

For some reason, I decided to wait for a plausible excuse because I thought it would only pile up more doubts.

“ah···. Because it was a love letter I received before.”

“…Love letter? you?”

Lee Hyun-ji narrowed his eyes and glared at me, then nodded slightly and looked away.

“What are you keeping that for? throw some away.”

Fortunately, when I was in middle school.

There was a precedent for receiving quite a few love letters, so they passed without much doubt.

I look the same as I did in my previous life,

He was a man who lived a completely different life.

‘I received a threatening letter…’

That’s how I avoided my sister’s suspicions.

For some reason, Kkaebi was looking up at me with a shocked expression.

─Kei? love?

─The operation of truth and lies…

Even the rice cooker joined in and tried to do something strange, so I hurriedly dissuaded him.

Why do you uselessly make false judgments…

I don’t know if it’s because of my mood.

It felt as if the summoned creatures were gradually becoming more self-assured.

‘But didn’t Bobtong have no ego?’

I moved my gaze to Bobtong and Kaebi who were sitting on the floor.

─Processing.

─Give it up!

─Please step back before processing them together.

─Kei!

It seems to have an ego…

···I don’t know.

what is good is good

***

Little sister who decided to return home soon.

I came down to the front yard on the first floor to see them off.

“Are you really going to live here?”

“You saw that there was no problem.”

“It’s still embarrassing…”

A look of concern could be seen in the younger sister’s expression and tone.

Let’s sell our worries.

It would be hard to find a safer place than here.

“Anyway, if you feel like it’s dangerous, come out right away. There are many cheap and nice houses.”

“Okay, so don’t worry and go quickly. Say hello to your father.”

“···yes.”

After watching the back of her sister who left like that until the end.

Upon entering the house, I carefully pulled out the envelope I had put in my pocket.

『Lee Young-woong should see it alone.』

‘···Well.’

Leave behind a lot of thoughts.

First, I decided to check the contents inside.

‘A key and a piece of paper…?’

Hold the key for now.

Even looking at the paper, it looked like a letter sent to me.

I unfolded the finely folded paper and checked the contents.

—

“hello. This is the parody writer ‘Twister’.』

—

Also···.

I noticed from the time I knew the name of my previous life.

Twister.

novels I read,

It was the pen name of the writer who wrote 「I was robbed of the main character’s seat at the academy」.

‘… I don’t know what a parody writer means.’

Once I read it again.

—

『Perhaps Lee Young-woong found this letter on the first day he moved in.』

—

······Well.

I paused for a moment, but

continued to read

—

『The spirit stone and this mansion are my little presents. Think of it as your first and last support.

For reference, the key enclosed in the envelope is the key to room 209.

Please go and see for yourself what is there.

I have not yet decided whether Lee Young-woong will be on my side in the future, so I ask for your understanding that I cannot give you more details.

Finally,

You and I are just a landlord and tenant relationship in this world.

I earnestly ask you to refrain from contact with me if possible.

Unless you want to perish together.

Okay then, I’ll see you on the day the story ends.

P.S.: You must pay your monthly rent on a regular basis. I have no money either.”

—

It was as if it had led me to this place.

no, more than that…

‘Could the landlord be a writer?’

I thought of the face of the man I met when we looked around the house together.

A middle-aged man with an extremely ordinary appearance.

The only distinguishing feature was a dot between the eyebrows.

I felt like the reasoning that the writer who possessed me here was a divine being was crumbling.

‘I don’t know what it is, but let’s start with Room 209.’

Still, since he is said to be my helper, I decided to trust him.

─Processing.

Bob Tong decided to stay at home.

To process the Spirit Stone,

I couldn’t help it because I had to put in the ball for a long time.

After that, I moved forward to room 209 with Kaebi.

It was the moment I was about to give an order to Scout Ant to check the inside of the room.

Pajijik-!

Scout Ant, who was about to climb over the narrow window frame, burned as if he had been touched by high-voltage current.

‘…it’s varied.’

It looks like something similar to a barrier is wrapped around it.

Without the key, it seemed to prevent access in the first place.

‘I can’t check outside.’

I put the key in the keyhole.

unlock,

kiik-

When I pulled the door of room 209, the acrid smell of dust stung my nose.

‘Uh. It’s worse than my room.’

plug your nose

Slowly entering Room 209,

A black light rising softly from the floor greeted us.

That light is…

‘portal?’

It was a portal to a dungeon.

‘If it’s black, it’s a special dungeon… Isn’t it, is it a special dungeon given that the dungeon break won’t happen?’

That time when I couldn’t help but panic.

A sign next to the portal caught my eye.

『I tried with all my heart to gather various types of 1-star monsters! ruler! Hurry up and get various fragments! And since you are using room 209, the monthly rent is 450,000 won by adding 300,000 won!”

······What.
