Damn Necromancer

1st Residential Area of the mothership Mary.

In the middle of a marble suite with a 5-meter-high ceiling, Park Jihoon, a former eternal deputy of an SME, opened his eyes.

The morning sunlight realized by top-grade holograms poured over the zero-gravity heated bed.

"Haa……. I feel stiff. Ah, right. I have to pray first."

Rubbing his eyes, Park Jihoon knelt on the floor as soon as he woke up.

No matter how safe and flashy a paradise it is, there is nothing free. All economic activities on this mothership revolved solely around Faith Points earned through praying to Kim Minwoo.

Of course, the minimum living conditions given to F-ranks, such as basic rations, comfortable room service, and clean air, are provided just by breathing. However, to enjoy more than that, points were essential.

Park Jihoon put his two hands together and closed his eyes. Toward the savior, the Death Lord, who saved him from this hellish apocalypse, he offered a sincere thanks boiling up from the bottom of his soul.

Ttiring―.

A translucent blue hologram window floated in the empty air.

[Sincere worship and thanks have been confirmed.]

[200 Faith Points are accumulated!]

[Current Faith Rank: C / Held Points: 51,200P]

"Keueuu……."

Park Jihoon made an enraptured expression looking at the hologram that appeared before his eyes.

An unawakened making up more than half of Earth's population.

To him, who had never even seen a status window, the exclusive property of Awakened, in his entire life, this hologram notification held a meaning beyond a system window.

'So this is how the Awakened hyung-nims felt, constantly looking at the empty air and smiling to themselves.'

A world where even an unawakened gets a status window and their stats rise just by putting in effort (praying). That overwhelming sense of accomplishment caused his dopamine, which had been rotting away as a deputy, to secrete to the maximum.

Furthermore, his held points were exceeding a whopping 50,000 points. It was thanks to the VIP sponsorship sent directly by Mary, the main AI of the mothership, last evening.

[Special Request from Main AI Mary: Enjoy the top-grade convenience facilities within the mothership to your heart's content and promote them widely! (Advance Payment: 40,000P)]

Ppibik―.

[Real-time live broadcast is starting!]

"Ji-ha! Everyone, hello! I am the eternal deputy of Earth, now the official promotion fairy of the mothership, Eternal Deputy Park Jihoon!"

As soon as the hologram camera drone floated in the empty air, tens of thousands of languages from all over the world were translated and filled the screen.

―Jihoon, hello! (Ji-ha!)

―Good morning, Jihoon!

―Mr. Jihoon, is it a mukbang again today?

―Wow, look at that background. It's a real suite room…….

Park Jihoon, who had become quite accustomed to operating the broadcast equipment, waved his hand nonchalantly. When he first started broadcasting at Mary's suggestion, he was just bewildered, but now he gave off the vibe of quite a big-shot streamer.

"The reason I turned on the camera today! Did everyone see my status window points? Yes, that's right. Our benevolent Mary noona generously donated a whopping 40,000 Faith Points as funds to promote the facilities inside the ship!"

In an instant, the chat window was dyed with astonishment.

―40,000 points? Oh, goodness. Mary is very generous!

―I'm an F-rank, and I barely earn 50 points even if I call the Lord's name and bow all day long…….

―This is all Mary noona's mercy. Praise her!

"Haha, hyung-nims, calm down. Of course, I didn't just get it for free. Mary noona enthusiastically asked me to promote the mothership facilities, asking why I wasn't using them when they're this awesome. So today! I will get the most out of the paid facilities inside the ship, which commoners like me couldn't even dare to use before, on your behalf!"

The first place Park Jihoon headed was the premium gym. As soon as he entered the entrance, a skeleton trainer wearing a tuxedo politely handed him a towel.

[Customized Training Course. 50P hourly usage fee will be deducted.]

Ttalgeurak―!

The skeleton trainer lay on the bench and demonstrated the perfect standard posture for lifting a barbell.

"Ah, the elbow angle like this?"

Ttalgeurak―!

The skeleton trainer clattered its jawbone and nodded its head vigorously.

The equipment here was fundamentally different from Earth's lumps of iron.

A local gravity controller calculated the range of motion of the muscles in real-time, smashing only the target muscles with 100% pinpoint accuracy without putting strain on the joints.

"Kkeuaaaaaak! Wait, Skeleton teach! I'm dyingggh!!"

Exactly one hour later.

Park Jihoon crawled on the floor in agony, feeling as if the muscles all over his body were being torn to shreds.

The viewers giggled watching that pathetic state.

"Hyung-nims…… you saw that, right? The hit feeling is really brutal. But don't worry. Because I have Mary noona's capital!"

The place Park Jihoon crawled to was in front of a super-fast medical recovery capsule emitting a soft blue light.

"It's 500 points to go in this once. It's a brutal price where F-rank hyung-nims would have to burn their entire month's ration of Faith Points. But I received a promotion fee from Mary noona…… so I'll consume it!"

Park Jihoon, who pressed the payment button with a determined face, laid his body inside the capsule.

Chiiiik―!

Special culture fluid and nanomachines wrapped his entire body.

The muscle pain that made him scream as if tearing melted away like cotton candy in warm water.

In just 5 minutes, fatigue substances were reset to 0%, and destroyed muscles finished super-compensation at super speed.

The capsule door opened, and Park Jihoon's skin as he popped out was as smooth as a newborn baby's.

"Wow…… did you see that? The muscle pain just melted away. My body feels like a feather! It's definitely worth 500 points!"

―Oh, my god. If that is true, all medical centers on Earth will go bankrupt. Is it magic?

―500 points for 5 minutes……. It truly is a world where faith is capital…….

―Brother Jihoon, are you moving to the next place now? I am very looking forward to it!

"Of course! Now for the next course…… uh?"

At that moment, a brilliant red notification flashed on the hologram window floating in Park Jihoon's empty air.

[Main AI Mary temporarily unlocks special VIP authority.]

[Message: Jihoon-nim, the broadcast response is very good! While we're at it, could you also promote the VIP Center, which is only accessible to B-ranks and above? ^^]

"Uh? R-really……?"

Park Jihoon's eyes, checking the hologram with a bewildered face, grew as if they would pop out. Soon, he looked back at the camera with his mouth wide open.

"Uh, hyung-nims. I might rejuvenate today?"

―Rejuvenate? What bullsh*t is that suddenly lolol

―Reclaim youth?

―What unknown nonsense are you suddenly saying?

"The VVIP exclusive area, which originally you have to be at least B-rank in faith to use, was just temporarily opened with Mary noona's authority! Hahaha! Isn't all this the grace of the great Death Lord! Let's go quickly!"

Amidst the chat window heating up immensely, the place the excited Park Jihoon hurriedly ran to was in front of a heavy golden door located deep in the VVIP area.

[Megacorp VIP Exclusive: Genetic-Level Body Remodeling & Perfect Rejuvenation Center]

[Cost per treatment: 10,000P]

Gulp.

Swallowing dry saliva, Park Jihoon pulled the hologram camera close to his face. His forehead, where an M-shaped receding hairline was progressing due to frequent overtime and stress, and his dull skin were starkly reflected.

"Now, hyung-nims. Do you see the price? A whopping 10,000 points! It's a nerve-wracking cost that F-rank hyung-nims would barely reach even if they gathered it steadily for half a year just breathing. But why is this so expensive? It's not cutting bones and getting Botox like Earth's plastic surgery clinics, it completely reconstructs biological DNA data into the most perfect golden ratio through molecular reassembly."

―10,000 points! Oh, Jesus. It's more expensive than my annual salary for 1 year!

―Wait, did you say it fixes hair loss too just now? Hey, Jihoon! Hair! Does hair really grow back too!

―I'm a plastic surgery clinic director, but after watching the broadcast just now, I'm going to fill out a hospital closure report……. Modern medicine is all dead…….

―If that is the truth, the wealthy of Earth will offer their entire fortunes and attempt to board. It is truly amazing.

[Authority is temporarily unlocked. Will you pay 10,000P?]

"Seeing is believing. 10,000 points, let's burn it refreshingly!"

Chiiiiiing―!

Having finished the payment, Park Jihoon entered the transparent cylinder-shaped machine.

As the machine operated, a blinding cluster of light swept over his entire body.

There was absolutely no bone-cutting pain. Rather, an overwhelming satisfaction as if every single cell in his body was being newly born while trembling with pleasure struck his brain.

Just 30 minutes.

The moment the machine door opened and Park Jihoon walked out, hundreds of millions of viewers around the world gasped.

"Wow……. This is crazy. It's my face, but it really feels great."

The forehead that was receding in an M-shape was packed tightly with thick and stiff hair without a gap.

The dull and rough skin was glowing, and his hunched neck and shoulders straightened out, revealing a sturdy physique.

His real face from his prime, which had been buried under frequent overtime, fatigue, and the murderous stress of an SME, was perfectly restored.

A cheerful man with thick lines and quite a masculine impression was staring outside the screen.

―Is this manipulated? Are you sure the hologram filter is turned off? Oh, I can't believe it.

―Crazy, did Deputy Park originally look that masculine? lolol Overtime had completely smashed a person's face;;

―Hair……. Hair grew! Great Death Lord! Save me!

―10,000 points is not a waste of a price at all. That is the true authority of a god. Praise the Death Lord.

The viewers were completely lost in the feast of Megacorp's over-technology that transcended imagination.

An unreachable new world that grants rejuvenation and physical restoration, which humanity dreamed of so much, with a single button.

That miracle, which couldn't be realized even after 100 years by Earth's common sense, was being enjoyed by an ordinary common citizen who just prayed hard. There was no picture that fueled the desires of Earthlings more than this.

"Haa……. This is truly a paradise like no other. I feel like I've gained a new life."

Park Jihoon, who was admiring his perfectly reborn appearance, soon stared at the camera with a resolute smile.

"Now, hyung-nims. My body and mind are perfectly set to my prime."

He turned and quickly walked toward the end of the hallway.

"The real highlight of today's broadcast. We will go to the main dish. Hyung-nims, are you ready? They say here on the Mary, there is a capsule room that will crush Earth's games into pulp! We will go there today!"

An ultra-luxurious arcade containing the essence of Megacorp that will make Earth's computer games look like cavemen playing with pebbles. It was time to show the majesty of the ultimate virtual reality unfolding inside a 150km battleship.
