Chapter Title: Teleport Scroll
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Teleport Scroll.
It’s a truly convenient means of travel. You can go anywhere you’ve visited at least once. Even if it’s not a city or village, you can input coordinates and zip right there.
Return Scrolls that send you back to the last city you stayed in or Random Teleport Scrolls that dump you at a random spot in your territory are nothing more than inferior versions of this.
If Teleport Scrolls were easy to obtain, those other two items might as well not exist.
Any Revenge player would have an obvious question here.
How much is it?
I’ve got the cash shop open right now—which page is it on?
‘But surprisingly… Teleport Scrolls aren’t for sale.’
Even though Revenge has been running for over ten years, Nemesis has never put Teleport Scrolls in the cash shop.
Unlike Random Teleport Scrolls you can buy from shops with gold or Return Scrolls that drop and can be traded.
Teleport Scrolls are limited resources obtainable only through daily quests and attendance events, and you can stockpile at most three.
‘It’s intentional inconvenience.’
The strength of Revenge players is never equal. Even characters of the same class can handle 1 VS 100 or even 1 VS 1000 depending on cash spent, in this insanely imbalanced game.
That’s why movement options in Revenge are strictly limited. If one powerhouse roams every battlefield wreaking havoc, the word “war” loses all meaning.
In a war, deciding where to deploy your guild’s rankers, who they should fight, and where to move them next… and tracking where the enemy guild’s rankers are…
All of that turns into strategy and tactics that make the war function.
‘It’s saying to get speed another way.’
High-grade mounts are faster than normal-grade ones, rare-grade faster than high-grade. Flying pets only appear at hero-grade or above for the same reason.
There are speed-related collections, of course, plus buff stones that boost movement speed for a time and speed buff foods available only for cash.
“Ha.”
A sigh slips out suddenly.
“A Teleport Scroll dropped…”
Reclaiming the stolen castles didn’t take long. Teleport Scrolls for far-off ones, riding Kasim to fly to the nearer ones and sweeping them clean—that was it.
To me, who’d obliterated tens of thousands of monsters including special bosses, a few hundred or thousand enemies were no different from pebbles by the roadside.
But supporting the castles made it clear.
‘It’s impossible to defend the entire territory alone.’
No matter how strong I am, there’s a limit to what one body can do. I can’t abandon everything else and spend a whole year just patrolling, right?
Thousands of casualties had already occurred.
Considering class-assigned soldiers and knights I’d painstakingly raised were among them, this was massive damage.
‘It was expected damage. Most of my forces were concentrated at Wild Boar, Starting, and Iron Castle…’
I’d captured them for the added chakra batteries, but disappointingly low-utility castles inevitably got lax management. Their personnel ended up as civilians and relatively weak players.
With grades only from normal to high, it was inevitable they’d be breached.
I handled what money could fix first.
[Upgrading Crude Brick Castle (High) to Sturdy Fortress (Rare)!]
[Upgrading Sturdy Fortress (Rare) to Perfect Fortress City (Hero)!]
[Upgrading Perfect Fortress City (Hero) to Ancient Temple (Legendary)!]
I upgraded every castle I’d claimed to legendary grade. High castle upgrade: 1.5 million won. Hero: 5 million won. Legendary: 30 million won—an insane price.
But who am I?
A man with billions in diamonds.
The delete & restore combo is basically a money cheat key—diamonds flow like water with no end in sight.
Rumble rumble rumble!
“Oh, whoa! The walls!”
“The buildings in the world…!”
“God! Emperor!”
“Emperor! Humanity’s guardian god!”
Ignoring the fuss from people seeing upgrades for the first time, I take to the air.
‘This should provide decent defense for now.’
Not mythic-level, but legendary castles have monstrous defense and siege objects. Even hero-grade is impregnable with Medievaland tech.
Still, problems remained.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Riding on Kasim’s back, I pull out the pad from my inventory.
‘If only I had more of these, it’d be so much easier.’
Unfortunately, this pad isn’t a cash item or regular item. It appeared when the guild tower was built, one of the [Interiors] for decorating the master room.
In Ardania, for some reason, it actually works and gets used, though originally just decorative.
‘Can’t increase them until I claim the next key point.’
It’s an interior only added to mythic-grade castles with fully modern designs. Searched for similar items, but none.
In an online game with chat and mail anywhere, no need for such comms devices anyway.
Flower: Transport unit under attack.
I lean the pad on Kasim’s back and type.
Han Jaeyeon: Casualties in the sheep-herding regiment?
Flower: One knight, twenty elite soldiers. Fifty regular soldiers sacrificed.
Han Jaeyeon: That all?
Flower: Attack on large farmland. Five civilian casualties, but Heavenly Divine Church monsters burned the fields.
“...”
Humanity Empire’s foothold is mostly inside walls, but not everyone can stay inside castles.
Even huge castles have farming limits inside, and goods must move between them. Iron Castle’s food relies on Wild Boar’s boar meat, right?
“Really… pissing me off.”
Flash!
Still mounted on Kasim, toward the pillar of light stretching to the sky.
In other words, entering the dungeon.
[Thunder Beast’s Thunder Mountain (High~Hero)]
Rumble…
Boom boom!
The scene changes instantly. A massive, steep, treacherous mountain. Thunderbolts constantly strike from the thunderclouds gathered at its peak.
A brutal sight, but no fear.
The truly brutal thing isn’t the environment—it’s me.
‘Good. This is the last one.’
I send Kasim back and summon the Landworm.
Groooar!
Thunder Mountain shakes. Just appearing destroys the surroundings—the mythic being descends!
Monsters spotting it panic.
“Big! Big! Huge monster!”
“Keeek! That monster means…”
“Human! Human! Head-smashing human appeared!”
“Run! Run…!”
They scream and scatter in horror, but it’s pointless. In a confined dungeon space, where can they flee?
I charge and catch them.
Then the unavoidable catastrophe erupts.
[Heavenly Sword - Hundred Man Slash (百人斬)] & [Sword that Parts Heaven and Earth]
Land Breaker.
Crack.
14,000 thunder-attribute monsters fall at once. All headless, heads atop shoulders gone.
[Inventory weight exceeds 75%!]
[Inventory weight over 75%: Movement speed reduced!]
[Inventory weight exceeds 100%!]
[Inventory weight over 100%: Movement speed extremely reduced, HP, stamina, mana slowly drain!]
Rustle rustle crash!
I marvel at the item rain pouring down.
“Wow… Insane no matter how many times I see it. For real.”
Hundred Man Slash & Heaven-Earth Sword is a famous cheat combo, but in Revenge, it doesn’t hit this hard. Both use [Normal Attacks] as material.
But now?
Land Breaker, the one-strike-kill martial art, joins in.
“With this, I could pass the space mercenary exam without a Giggas…”
Not arrogance—this is transcendent-level power just below the top. Earth restricts Revenge gear, of course.
‘On Earth, just use advanced modern weapons.’
[Thunder Beast’s Thunder Mountain (High~Hero) Hell difficulty cleared!]
[Guilds that complete conditions first can declare siege!]
[A Shabby Earth Castle (Normal) appears!]
Far off, a shabby castle forms. Monsters on it point accusingly our way.
The Landworm, standing by picking up items, speaks.
[Sort gear. Quick.]
“Why’s your speech getting faster?”
[Dunno. Good food?]
Every time I clean a checkpoint in the empire, I summon the Landworm faithfully.
Many pets auto-pickup items, but for sweeping tens of thousands of monsters, need full-field coverage.
Rumble!
I empty my messy inventory, picking rare+ gear, small accessories, gold, consumables from the mountain pile.
Then look up.
“Eat now.”
[~♪♬]
With a merry spirit wave, the Landworm’s head moves.
Crunch!
The item mountain vanishes in chunks.
“Wow…”
Enough armor and weapons to arm thousands—gone in one meal.
Seeing it crunch tempered weapons like snacks, I figure sword aura wouldn’t faze it.
“No, but with your strength, wouldn’t digging into any mine and absorbing ore be better? There’s gold mines here too.”
The Landworm, devouring item piles, replies mid-bite.
[Don’t humans cook raw meat instead of chewing it raw?]
“...”
Fair point.
‘Ah, still a waste.’
Watching items vanish hurts.
If this were near Humanity Empire, no way.
But it’s 200 km away, and I sweep several checkpoints daily—no hauling convoys.
Better to feed the Landworm than dump inventory.
“Anyway, I feed you like this, so obey.”
[Ugh…]
“Ugh what? Ugh!”
What gall. About to smack it, but no effect, so I hold back.
Landworm ponders, then asks.
[Obey means jump, right?]
About its pet skill, [Great Destruction].
Compresses body like a spring, leaps to 1 km altitude, hardens, then crashes down.
In-game, just massive AoE devastation.
‘In reality, worse.’
No joke—beyond a meteor. Crust-shattering destruction beyond recognition.
“No. Not short on DPS now anyway.”
Not storming for pennies—Hundred Man Slash & Heaven-Earth Sword combo sweeps them.
What I want from Landworm is different.
“How deep can you burrow?”
[Into the ground? As deep as I feel like. But too deep means more pressure and heat, so moderately.]
“Hm. Good.”
I grin at its words.
And say,
“Let’s take a walk.”
[Walk?]
“Yeah. About… 1,000 kilometers first.”
