Chapter 20. Scuba Diving (2)

I did nothing, such as trembling whilst talking to a god. Maybe it’s because I too have become a constellation. Leaving that thought behind, I opened the shop page.

[Beginner’s Suba Diving Pill F X10]

( Yes / No)]

[You purchased Beginner’s Suba Diving Pill F X10.]

[Currently remaining coins: 11]

I’ve officially become a beggar. I couldn’t help but marvel at it. I can’t believe we have no more coins. Tae-beom-ah, I’m sorry. I don’t have any money.

For a moment, I was drenched in emotions, while taking off my coat and shoes and gently putting them aside. There was a rough little stone in the soles of my feet, but it didn’t matter.

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: What are you trying to do?

I swallowed a pill without answering. And without hesitation, jumped into the water.

Foam bubbles passed before my eyes, and clear water came into my view. I felt a cold that seemed to gnaw my whole body. My heart trembled as if it was freezing, but without any hesitance, I continued to swim downwards.

And I found it.

A ruined skeleton was lying there, and was holding onto something in its hand, something that looked like a shell. Like a man who had lost his life trying to get it.

[Magical Conch Shell A]

[It whispers a single prophecy. (Available once a year)]

It was as I expected.

According to the original story, the person who would come in here would have been Lee Myung-won. Even if he pretended not to be, he thought that there might be people on even the narrowest road, so he must have broken the wall and entered.

I could only encourage Lee Myung-won’s sympathy right now.

I struggled to get the horn out of the skeleton’s hand while swimming at the same time. I had to use a lot of force to hold on to it tightly. I had to move more because the frigid air was squeezing my body.

‘Quickly….’

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: This looks fun.

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: I wonder how you knew it was there.

I suddenly had an unpleasant feeling. This must have been the item he was going to give to his contractor.

Apollo, the god of prophecy, couldn’t have been unaware of the simple fact that this object was here.

I was barely able to take the horn flute out of the skeleton’s hand and began to swim upwards. The water was deeper than I thought.

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: But it’s interesting.

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: Were you trying to satisfy me this much?

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: That can’t be.

I barely managed to swim ashore and breathed heavily. This damn constellation, I was swimming all this time, but I had no time to talk nor or catch my breath. Naturally, my teeth and my body trembled. I put on the coat I had taken off on the shore.

The cold felt even worse because I was in a cave. My life feels so pathetic that I can’t even make a small bonfire with only 11 coins.

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: You can’t just do that?

An absurd message. I coughed briefly and crouched down. I grabbed the conch.

[Magical Conch Shell A]

[It whispers a single prophecy. (Available once a year)]

I put my lips near the entrance of the conch shell and spoke.

“Magical Conch-nim.”

I took a deep breath.

“Will the world be destroyed in 5 years?”

It was the most important question at this moment. The movement of the constellation, which was angry at my voice, also fell silent. And I was surprised by the answer that soon came after.

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: What does this mean?

[CH.#643nj5/One Who Is More Dazzling than The Sun]: Explain it to me so I can understand!

But it was me who was the most shocked. No matter how hard I tried, nothing changed.

The conch shell’s answer was Yes.
