“I guess they’ve blocked this off.”
It wasn’t the normal route.
From Drak’s reaction, once I finished my business, I was supposed to return to my original continent and wouldn’t have to look around below.
However, I rejected that normal return and attempted to dive in.
There must be amazing things down there that the users haven’t seen yet.
That attempt proved fruitful as I saw the colossal being known as the Marble Giant…
[You are being expelled.]
I was expelled for not having the Holy Seal of Ertern.
[WTF]
[No, I just got expelled.]
[After getting kicked out so many times, now they’re blocking it off. LOL]
[Oh]
[Isn’t Deoen an open world? Why is it blocked?]
[It was a chance to fight the Giant! ; ;]
[But how strong is 186?]
[Seems like it wasn’t meant to be fought, right?]
[Ugh]
[Info: Level 186 is 46 levels higher than an advanced World Boss.]
[That’s insane.]
“It looks like I can’t go there for now. From what I see, you can only get the Holy Seal after the Great Cataclysm.”
Without the Holy Seal, access is impossible.
Of course, if you were at the 4th state, you might somehow figure out the structure to get in, but there would be no way to fight that Giant.
‘Minimum, I need to be at full 4th state.’
In 4th state, I can escape the pressure of the Giant, but I can’t attack.
On the other hand, while I might have a chance to hit the Giant in 3rd state, my movements would be restricted.
Above all, rather than dealing with a being I can’t tell is a Boss Monster or an ally, I should focus on the Kraken that will come after the Great Cataclysm.
Unlike the dormant Giant, the Kraken will come to thoroughly destroy the continent.
“Let’s go enhance some stuff.”

Kiki Island.
I was attacked by Kler, the owner of the island, while I was there for a vacation with my editor and manager, the so-called Lily’s Group.
My staff were kidnapped, and they tried to drag me to the Great Altar to kill me.
‘In the end, I was killed in the reverse tourist trap.’
Anyway, as a reward from that time, Kiki started following me, and I received blessings and experience points from The Agent.
Additionally, the ‘Queen’ of Kiki Island helped me and granted her wish for me to take her back to the past where ‘her family was alive’…
“Things have really changed.”
The once grand resort with countless amenities has now transformed into an eco-friendly island.
The place is home to residents and bears delicious fruits in abundance.
While the convenience and tourism were better before, Kiki Island no longer welcomes tourists.
Now, this place is no longer Kler’s island but the island of the residents.
“Oh, how fascinating. So fascinating.”
“I’m the one who’s more fascinating.”
I glanced at Yena, who was sticking to me like glue as I surveyed the island.
Since the moment we arrived at Kiki Island, Yena had welcomed me as if she were a resident.
Surely there are no more ships, so how did she get to the island so quickly?
“Don’t you know who I am?”
“Fugitive Ninja?”
“That’s not wrong. I mean, I’m Yena. Yena can do anything!”
[Didn’t you just bring yourself here because there was a boat?]
[Information) Yena owns a private boat worth 30 million won]
[She drove the boat here lol]
[Yena, that doesn’t mean you won’t paint it green.]
[Yena, the expectations are infuriating]
[When she was escaping, she wanted to get a green one again lololol]
[Yena-yena…]
“Do you still use that boat?”
“Occasionally? I plan to use it again during the Great Cataclysm. The more boats, the easier the raid.”
“It’s going to get wrecked.”
It’s no wonder the Kraken is called the nightmare of ships.
No matter how sturdy a ship may be, it becomes just a paper boat in front of the Kraken.
Of course, very few users can fight in the sea without a boat, but they must be prepared for a tremendous loss.
“Still, it should help a little. Like… how Lady Lily lent me a masterpiece for free?”
“It’s not free.”
“Huh?”
“I’m keeping track. Including the existing rental fee and the late fees from you becoming a fugitive ninja, it comes to this much?”
I showed Yena the amount I tapped into the calculator.
Just a moment ago, Yena’s eyes, filled with happiness, shook violently.
“…That’s too expensive, isn’t it?”
“It is an expensive weapon.”
A mythical masterpiece that exists in only eight copies in the entire world.
Moreover, it’s a ‘dagger’ masterpiece that is so rare you can’t find anyone who possesses it.
[You shouldn’t expect to get things for free lol]
[Mythical rentals are indeed expensive]
[Bankrupt Ninja Yena lol]
[Let’s just declare her a slave]
[How much could it be for Yena to react like that?]
[lolololol]
[After borrowing it for a few months and running away, it’s at least in the hundreds of millions lol]
“…What happens if I borrow more?”
“If you want to borrow more, how long will it be, customer?”
“About 6 months… no, maybe 3 months…?”
“Three months, huh.”
Tatadak! Tatak.
“About this much should be good.”
“Why did it triple?”
“Your credit has dropped a lot due to the runaway ninja incident. There’s nothing we can do about it. Please understand.”
“Ugh.”
Then, uh…
“…Could you please cut it a bit?”
“That’s not possible.”
You definitely need to get paid.
Of course, I don’t intend to charge such unreasonable amounts, but still, I plan to charge an appropriate price to prevent another runaway ninja incident.
Yena put her hands on her head, deep in thought, then suddenly clapped her hands as if she had a good idea.
“Ah! Lady Lily. Honestly, you don’t really need money, right?”
“Not that I don’t need it.”
It’s true that I’m not lacking in money, and while I don’t have a big desire for it, having more is always better.
‘The more, the merrier.’
Yena shook her head.
“What if you could get something that money can’t buy?”
“? What do you mean?”
“Hehe. It’s something you can’t obtain, but it’s exactly what you need right now.”
Right here!
Flap!
“Enhancement Probability Add-On!”
[Enhancement Probability Add-On ◎ Normal]
Type ⊙ Enhancement Scroll
Limit ⊙
Stats ⊙
Magic ⊙ Enhancement | Add-On
Special Note ⊙ Increases enhancement probability by 1%. Only one scroll can be used per enhancement grade.
“…Probability add-on?”
■
Enhancement Probability Add-On.
A scroll that increases the probability of enhancement, a special scroll that can be produced by “Master-level Blacksmiths” or high-level “Guild Forges.”
The scroll grades consist of Normal, Rare, Special, Legendary, and Mythical, with the additional probability increasing as the grade goes up.
It’s definitely the scroll I need the most right now, but…
[It’s in the auction house.]
[There are tons at the auction house, Yena.]
[You can buy it with money.]
“Can’t you just buy it with money?”
“Ah hey! It’s so hard to find that there’s hardly any stock available. There are also many people selling them at high prices.”
“Hmm…”
“And if it’s Rare or Special, I wouldn’t have mentioned it. We actually have a ‘Legendary’ grade additional enhancement scroll.”
“Legendary?”
A legendary one should be quite pricey, right?
Yena quickly nodded her head.
“That’s right! Normal offers 1%, Rare offers 2%, Special offers 4%, and the much-awaited Legendary offers 10%! You’ll get a total of 17% extra.”
[Oh?]
[Legendary?]
[Legendary stock is really hard to come by.]
[Whoa?]
[17% sounds pretty sweet though.]
[Doesn’t that mean it’s almost 40% if you take Kiki’s correction into account?]
“Isn’t that almost 40%? If Kiki gets a boost…”
“40%… That’s definitely not bad.”
“At least with that, no matter how unlucky someone is, it’s worth a shot.”
“Do you have everything right now?”
“I brought the special just in case, but the legend is kept in the guild. I can get it right away, though.”
“How long will it take?”
“Exactly 20 minutes. No, just wait 15 minutes, please.”
“Alright. If it works out, I’ll consider the future rental fees waived.”
“Okay!”
Yena quickly disappeared, even ripping the expensive teleportation scroll.
She must have been in quite the hurry.
If she disappears like that, she’ll need to use a coordinate return scroll to come back.
I headed towards the beach to wait for Yena.
The familiar scenery of the beach came into view.
It was the beach where I used to play with Lily’s Group.
“We grilled meat here and had crab dishes together. Remember?”
[Yeah, yeah.]
[So jealous.]
[The job of a god;; traveling with Lily and getting to eat her cooking.]
[Man, I’m so jealous.]
[Are we not hiring more managers?]
[Please, let’s hire a manager.]
[Let’s at least try on the outfit next time.]
[Even if we hire a manager, the ones chatting won’t be okay ㅋㅋ.]
“We need to hire a manager soon.”
I’m thinking of hiring one or two more this time.
The standard is definitely someone who frequently watches my broadcast and has a lot of free time.
There’s so much to do right now, so it might be tough to do it immediately, but I think I’ll hire someone before the Great Cataclysm.
I walked along the beach for a while.
“…Darling?”
“Long time no see.”
I met the Queen.
Alice, dressed in completely ordinary clothes and picking bananas with her younger brother, is very different from before.
Thud.
Alice dropped a banana and instinctively ran towards me.
Just a couple of steps away…
“Lady Lily!!!”
“?!”
Boom!
Suddenly, Yena appeared, kicking up the sand between us.
Alice’s expression grows cold.
“I found it! Probability increase card! Is this safe?!”
“What’s going on?”
Who is this woman?
