Seoul Object Story
Chapter 225: The Labyrinth: Epilogue (4)

In a dark room with a faint scent of dried herbs and where the mysteriously glowing liquid glowed from the winding flasks which felt like an alchemist’s workshop, a soft golden light flickered.

On the neatly cleaned table, something that was softly glowing golden was jumping around, expressing something. They were the five warriors who were the best at handling swords among the Golden Reapers.

The Gray Reaper placed a large sword of light that had been broken while using it and a small sword of light that had been broken while using it on the table, and he was explaining something with his hands and feet as if he was trying to tell them something.

The one listening to the Golden Reapers’ explanation was a tattooed alchemist woman. She was the alchemist in the workshop who was dressed in full alchemist attire. She was even carrying an alchemist’s sword.

“The small one is still fine, but the large one is completely broken.”

The alchemist muttered as she examined the two broken swords of light that the Golden Reaper had brought. The Golden Reaper’s Sword of Light and the Gray Reaper’s Sword of Light looked similarly broken, but in fact, they were completely different.

The smaller one was broken because it had been used for too long and had reached the end of its lifespan, while the larger one had been overpowered, making its inner working completely melted.

The Gray Reaper’s output is much greater than I expected. How can such a Magic Book exist?

The alchemist disassembled the Gray Reaper’s Sword of Light, which had been broken in a completely unexpected way and examined it as she exclaimed in admiration. She had never seen such a strong magic book before she died.

Then, the alchemist simply disassembled the smaller Sword of Light, replaced a few parts, and reassembled it.

The Golden Reaper’s First Sword received the repaired sword, created a blade made of light, swung it in the air once, erased the blade again, and smiled with satisfaction.

“It’ll probably take a while to fix this. I have to go to Seoul Forest and get some materials.”

The Golden Reapers didn’t understand what she said, but probably because they realized that it couldn’t be fixed right away, so they shrank down with slightly gloomy expressions.

Mom’s sword can’t be fixed?

The light from their firewood that had been shining brightly also dimmed a little, flickering with a gloomy beat.

Even though the alchemist was taking medicine to prevent herself from catching mind corruption, their expression and atmosphere made her carelessly pat the Golden Reapers’ head.

Normally, she would have taken out the anti mind corruption medicine and took it again, but she had given up for now. After all, even if she took medicine, she still found the Golden Reapers cute.

I have to go get some materials for the suppressant anyway, so I should gather some ingredients for the sword too while I’m at it.

The alchemist looked towards the north, to the direction where Seoul Forest, which was infinitely similar to the forest in his hometown, was, and thought so.

*********

Thump-! Thump-! Thump-!

A heavy footstep was echoing through the Garden of the Mini Reaper.

A huge glow in the dark Tyrannosaurus was striding through the Garden of the Mini Reaper, carrying a bunch of Mini Reapers.

As expected, everyone loves Tyrannosaurus!

When looking at it, I had a satisfied expression on my face.

The Mini Reapers riding the Tyrannosaurus were looking at me from above the Tyrannosaurus and waving their hands vigorously as if to show that they were there.

Mom!

However, a small suspicion arose every time I saw the Mini Reapers exuding their will and making joyful expressions toward me.

Do they not like Tyrannosaurus, but rather like me because I often pay attention to them and look at them when they ride the Tyrannosaurus?

Eh… That can’t be.

Of course they liked the Tyrannosaurus.

I shook my head vigorously and tried to shake off the ominous thoughts.

Plop-! Plop-!

I left the kids playing on the Tyrannosaurus behind and started walking around the Garden of the Mini Reaper.

I wish there was something new and fun to do…

Should I try finding the hiding Hungry Ghost?

I could always summon the White Hungry Ghost, but it’s more fun to find it myself than to summon it. It was especially fun to attack it when it was resting comfortably.

Or should I use Halo to create a horribly dead Gray Reaper corpse and place it in the containment room?

Yerin would be so surprised, hihihi.

The moment I was walking around the garden, thinking of various pranks, a very unfamiliar scene unfolded before my eyes.

Kkwang!

A Golden Reaper fell to the ground as if it had lost and screamed with determination. And next to the fallen Golden Reaper, there were countless Golden Reapers lying in the same position as it.

Usually, the one who won against the Golden Reaper in the game was the same Golden Reapers or Black Reapers, but this time around, it was the Orange Reaper who won, which was unusual.

Should I say that it felt like I wanted to let out a ‘Ohohoho’ when looking at it?

The sight of the Orange Reaper with its eyes closed and a faint smile on its face seemed to show the dignity of a strong person.

However, among the gathered Golden Reapers, another Golden Reaper confidently challenged the Orange Reaper. When the challenger appeared, the Orange Reaper and the Golden Reaper began stacking oddly shaped pieces of wood on the unstable table.

The rules were simpler than I thought.

They had to shake the table until ‘one’ piece of wood fell off.

For the game purpose, the table was designed to shake very easily. Of course, if two or more pieces of wood fell off, they were disqualified!

All in all, It was a difficult game that I would never dare try.

As the game began, the Golden Reaper began to shake the table with a rare focused expression. Before long, the Golden Reaper succeeded in shaking the table with its amazing eyes and agile body skills to knock down one piece of wood.

Oh, cool!

I clapped my hands quietly without the mini Reapers noticing and exclaimed in admiration.

If the Golden Reaper is that good, how good is the Orange Reaper?

After thinking so, I watched the Orange Reaper do it. And when it was its turn, the Orange Reaper tapped the table with a faint smile, and the table shook with an exquisite vibration before spitting out a piece of wood.

Scammer!

The Golden Reapers didn’t seem to know, but the Orange Reaper had just used its ability.  It was an ability to manipulate the probability of what would happen. I could noticed it right away because I used a similar ability often.

Unlike the Orange Moon’s probability manipulation, my ability was to lead to the death of something I targeted, not just Object, but it was similar in that it twisted and manipulated probability.

It was clear that the Golden Reaper was being deceived.

Of course, the game could be a game where they could use their abilities against each other, but I somehow felt that it wasn’t the case.

Those who opened their eyes narrowly were the ones who always plotting!

I picked up one of the Golden Reapers who had fallen to the ground after being defeated and whispered the truth.

The Orange Reaper is using an ability. It’s an ability to twist probability.

There’s no way such a miraculous thing could happen with just physical ability.

It’s a scam!

You need a revolution.

Rise, golden warriors!

At first, the Golden Eeaper seemed to not understand, but soon understood and made a surprised expression.

‘How could it do that!’ The Golden Reaper gathered its fallen comrades and began to exchange opinions with gestures. After realizing the truth, the Golden Reapers swarmed in and surrounded the Orange Reaper, and began to lecture it.

Don’t lie to us again!

However, the Orange Reaper looked around with its eyes closed, then floated up into the sky and started to run away.

!

The Golden Reaper was shocked to see their younger sibling running away from them, so they were really taken aback. But when they realized the situation, they quickly started to gather around.

As if zombies were gathering to climb over a wall, the Golden Reapers quickly formed a tower and began to grab the Orange Reaper and pull it down. The Orange Reaper tried to run away with all its might, but its flight speed was slow and it was not strong enough to shake off the Golden Reapers.

A few Golden Reapers slipped unnaturally on the non-slip floor, but it was not enough to interfere with what happened.

In the end, the Orange Reaper was caught again and the Golden Reaper, who had its hands on its waist, began to scold it with a frown.

When watching that, I was slightly disappointed.

I had expected the Golden Reapers to become a revolutionary warrior and beat up the Orange Reaper, but it ended with a scolding…

Hmph.

*********

Whoosh-!

Even though the Golden Reaper was in its Phantom Form, it followed the harmful human without cutting corners.

At the same time, it was hiding itself as much as possible.

However, the men who it thought would go straight to the evil Object did not go to the Object, but instead visited various humans and spread negative emotions.

“Hey… If you borrowed money, you should pay it back!”

The men that the Golden Reaper followed were yelling loudly and hitting things hard wherever they went. Every time they did so, sadness, resentment, and fear spread. Even though they were human, they were spreading sadness and resentment wherever they went just like Objects.

As expected from the humans its precious human hated, they looked like quite harmful humans.

Bad humans?

The Golden Reaper tilted its head, wondering because it was the first time it had seen such a kind of human. Moreover, although they were bad humans, they didn’t smell like blood.

What should I do?

After thinking with its small head, the Golden Reaper gave up on its thoughts!

It thought it should gather the other Mini Reapers in the Garden of the Mini Reaper and hold a grand meeting!

The Golden Reaper thought that now was the time for a grand discussion on a platform made of pudding.

Since the grand meeting had solved the enormous problem of ‘Which Golden Reaper should we give the last remaining pudding to?’, then this difficult problem would surely be solved.

The Golden Reaper, whose eyes were spinning from worrying, resumed its stalking with a relieved heart.

The men who had been wandering around and harassing the humans for a while finally got into the car and started going somewhere.

The Golden Reaper also followed them into the car and secretly went into the glove box to release its Phantom Form.

It was a dark and narrow passenger seat drawer, but the Golden Reaper felt a little happy because it felt like it was playing hide-and-seek, so it giggled quietly.

I miss my precious human.

After hiding in the gloves box for quite some time, the Golden Reaper began to get boren and miss its precious human. But then,

“Hyung-nim,  is it true that the Golden Reaper really makes money? I don’t think I’ve heard of anyone making money with the Golden Reaper.”

The man sitting in the driver’s seat spoke to the man in the passenger seat.

“Of course it’s not. We’re not selling Objects for money, so how can we make money? We just give her some hope and take it if she succeeds in containing it.”

As the man sitting in the passenger seat said that, the car slowly slowed down and stopped, as if it had reached its destination.

“We’ve finally arrived. Let’s take a break before going to Viper Hyung.”

The man sitting in the passenger seat opened the glove box to take out a cigarette only to find something unexpected in it.

He froze as his eyes widened.

A golden glow flowed out of the glove box.

There lay a Golden Reaper, giggling as if it was saying, ‘Oops!’

The man in the passenger seat was so shocked by the sudden encounter with the special Object that he couldn’t even afford to move.
