Unbreakable

Chapter 60: A bet

“City!”

“The buildings are still there too!”

People shouted in joy at the view of the modern city appearing from afar. Some were even on the verge of crying. It wasn’t Busan, but it was still a remnant of their old world.

“At least they seem to like it.”

“...”

“It’s pitiful for me to see it from this view.”

There was one Bermuran walking alongside Dohyuk. It was the High Priest, but he was being controlled by Aruga who had agreed to the bet. Therefore, he decided to travel with Dohyuk in a physical body to witness it himself. As thousands of people walked into the city, a girl walked up to Dohyuk. It was Heeyun.

“Who are these people?”

Dohyuk then explained everything that happened in quick, summarized version. Heeyun didn’t seem to understand everything, but she understood the important point.

“So... We now have about two thousand more people in our city?”

“Yeah.”

“B-but this...”

Before she could finish speaking, people were shouting inside. It looked like Heeyun knew what was going on even before going to check. They walked inside to find out what was going on, and they were followed by a smirking Aruga.

“Don’t touch any of the stuff here!”

The conflict was simple. It was a fight between the people who came in a few hours ago and those who had just arrived. People occupied the central area of the city even without anyone telling them to do so. There were enough spaces for everyone to go around, but the problem was the food. That’s why the people who were here were blocking the newcomers in search for food.

“This ain’t your place!”

“I’m just telling you all to wait out, so we can save the food!”

Not everyone was fighting though. It was only about ten of them.

“Enough!”

Heeyun shouted and the people became silent.

“And who are you to say...”

A newcomer tried to fight back at Heeyun, but quickly became silent at sight of Dohyuk beside her. The people then turned to Dohyuk as they did not know the rules of the city. Dohyuk needed to decide on the rules.

“You can take all the food you want.”

“...!”

“If you haven’t taken the food you need yet, you can take any of the food or water.”

“B-but...” A man with a husky voice turned toward Dohyuk. He was one of the people that had just arrived in the city a few hours ago. Before he could speak, Dohyuk continued, “But just remember one thing.”

He glanced at everyone.

“Other than all of you, everything else in this city belongs to me.”

It was just being provided as a token of Dohyuk’s hospitality.

“So you must know how funny it is that you people are fighting over my property.”

The newcomers brightened up, but the middle-aged man didn’t seem to be pleased.

“...I-is there an infinite amount of food?” The man was hesitant, but he voiced his complaints. “I get it that it is your city. It was an empty one... and you are the strongest. That’s why you are trying to act a leader...”

His reaction was normal. Unlike the new group, he didn’t witness Dohyuk kicking the ray of light or burning down the whole forest.

“I don’t have a problem with that... but shouldn’t we be wiser? We won’t last a month with all these people...”

Dohyuk wasn’t oppressing them. He was strong but reasonable. However, that could also be considered as gullible.

“A-and... I don’t know why, but that forest is all burned up. We don’t have any plans to get more food. I mean, if we are strong like you, we’d have a way... but us? We have to worry about food.”

“...”

Dohyuk heard a quiet cackle coming from behind. Aruga whispered to him.

“He’s a talker. There’s always one... who makes a mess.”

He was amused.

“What will you do now? I think you only have one choice. Set an example. Kick him out or kill him. If you weaken your power with ‘Mercy’, it will multiply.”

It was as he said. People were looking at Dohyuk to hear what he had to say.

“Now, show me. Prove me wrong. If you have a way to supply food, then do it,” Aruga smirked. “You will need to see blood.”

In the end, this was the answer. It was the answer that everyone returned to, and the gods knew it was true.

Dohyuk then walked up. The man backed away, thinking Dohyuk was going to kill him. Yet he walked right past the man and arrived at the crossroad in the dead center of the city.

“...”

Dohyuk then raised his hands.

Crazy Lunch Box(Lv.11)

He vomited an object that he ‘ate’ before.

“This.”

It was a shiny orb that was the size of a human.

<<Orb of the Divine Tree – SS+>>

“This is what I brought form that forest.”

Dohyuk did not even know that this thing existed. It was an item he couldn’t ‘Digest’, but when he checked the description, he came to one conclusion.

[Core of Grava’s Divine Tree. The tree receives energy from all living beings within the forest...]

Dohyuk then stamped on the ground and destroyed the pavement. Then, upon the sand that appeared beneath, Dohyuk rolled the orb over it.

[...and the nutrients are stored into the orb...]

He repeated the description with his voice.

“And the orb can transform barren land into a land of miracles that generates plants instantly.”

<<Saying ‘Absorb’ will activate the orb>>

“Absorb.”

Light shined from the orb. People screamed in alarm as they were blinded by the shining light coming out from it. When the light faded, the orb was gone. Something was different.

“...?”

People sniffed. The smell had changed. The city smelled like dry sand before, but it was now damp.

“HUH?!”

There were trees. The sides of the streets which usually had sand were replaced by trees that were sky high.

“...”

Dohyuk looked at the ground below where the orb had been absorbed into. He then walked in a certain direction, signaling for people to follow. They stopped at the city wall.

“...”

Outside the gate, it wasn’t a desert anymore. People looked at vast green lands in front of them. There were trees scattered around, standing tall as if they had been standing there since a long time ago.

“I stole that orb from a god,” Dohyuk said to the people.

“This city too. Let me tell you again. The city is mine, not because I am strongest. I can do whatever I want in this place. The things you see here? I can make it all disappear instantly.”

Dohyuk looked around.

“I just wish I won’t have to show that to you.”

He then turned to Aruga.

“And the Bermurans from your previous city will ‘kindly’ come and teach you how to utilize this fertile land. I made a deal with them.”

“...”

Aruga gritted his teeth. That was the bet they made. If Dohyuk found a way to supply the food, Aruga promised to lend his people without any cost.

“You will learn how to farm. This land will grow any type of plant instantly, so it won’t be too hard.”

Dohyuk then turned. It was the middle-aged man.

“Ah...”

“I won’t do anything to you. I would have done what I had to do if you tried to fight me, but you were just voicing your complaints.”

“...”

The man did not dare to speak.

“First rule.”

Dohyuk then spoke to everyone.

“No one will harm or oppress another.”

Second.

“Everything in this city belongs to me, and I am the one providing it all to you. You cannot claim it as your own.”

Third.

“If you have problems, you can leave at any time or tell me about the problems. If it is reasonable, I might do something.

“But if it’s just to make people uncomfortable, I will remove you for the sake of the city.”

-Faith: 123348

The middle-aged man slumped down on the ground.

“I... I...”

“I consider your complaints reasonable. Or rather, they were reasonable.”

But it wasn’t anymore.

“You should all go back into the city. I wish ones that the ones who came first can help the new people.”

People then disappeared into the city. Only Dohyuk and Aruga stayed behind.

“You were lucky,” Aruga admitted to his defeat. “I lost. But... this isn’t a permanent solution. You must know this.”

“I don’t know.”

“Even if the land became fertile because of the orb, it is not infinite. If you have more people...”

“It doesn’t matter. I’ll bring more.”

“...What?”

Dohyuk looked at Aruga.

“I took the city from you. And the fertilization from that forest. Then wouldn’t other regions ruled by the other bastards have those that fit their type?”

“...”

“What? You got a problem with that?”

Dohyuk was claiming that he was going to ransack all regions that were currently occupied by gods.

“You all are not gods,” Dohyuk claimed. They were powerful, but that was it.

“If gods had ‘bet’ on this land in hopes of getting something, they must be prepared to lose too.”

“...”

“I’ll take all of that away.”

Dohyuk spoke as he shook.

“I told him too.”

That he’s not a toy.

“Oh, so I need to ask you something.”

Aruga was relieved, however. When he made a deal with Dohyuk, he thought Dohyuk was not powerful enough to really help him retrieve his city in one piece. Now, he was sure of one thing.

“Tell me where the next closest region is, and who’s in charge of that place.”

If he had not made a deal with him, he would’ve been run over by this monster.

“And tell me what can I take away from them.”

Aruga disappeared. The High Priest returned to his city after Aruga left him.

“...”

Dohyuk was still outside the city. He was looked towards the horizon where the sun was setting. He then took the paper out from his pocket.

“G-good day!”

Marie Kruger appeared, but Dohyuk wasn’t going to look at items today.

-Coins: 2634451

He didn’t need to, as he had enough coins to spend.

“I’m looking for an item.”
