Tomb Raider King

[The book is rejecting you.]

[It says that it cannot have two masters under one sky.]

The book then wiggled its way out of Ju-Heon's grasp. Ju-Heon couldn't believe it.

‘What? Two masters? Two masters my ass.’

“Hey. The former Majesty is dead. Why can’t you follow me?”

Another message appeared.

[The book asks if it was you, would you be able to have two husbands or two wives under the same sky.]

‘You're just a damn book.’

There seemed to be more reasons as the book was openly rejecting Ju-Heon.

[Your Affinity level is too low.]

[The book is repulsed by you.]

[Forget contracting with you, it won’t even give you permission to enter the library.]

Ju-Heon was in disbelief.

“Haha, would you look at this. I was going easy on it since it was a Treasure, but what?”

It was at that moment. Ju-Heon stomped on Ilya’s hand that was slowly crawling forward toward it.

“Ilya, what are you doing?”

Ilya snickered while looking at Ju-Heon.

“Captain. It’s obvious that you need to use Affinity for this artifact.”

“And?”

“You're an Affinity eunuch. I guess I have no choice but to help y…ugh!”

Ilya felt as if his hand would be ripped off.

“Ahhhhhhh! My hand, my hand!”

“Get lost. This is mine. The stick is always the answer for spoiled brats who won't listen.”

Ju-Heon took out a sword and stabbed into the book.

The book started screaming. Of course, that was not the end. Ju-Heon activated one of his artifacts.

He activated the Majesty's Key!

Flash!

‘The Akashic records is a library. This book is just an entrance.’

Basically, this artifact was a spatial-type artifact. In that case, he should be able to force the door open and go inside.

A bright light flashed from the book.

[You have forcibly opened the library doors with the Majesty's Key.]

The light that was so bright that it felt as if it would gouge his eyes out continued to flash for what seemed to be an eternity.

Paat!

Ju-Heon's body started to be sucked into somewhere.

Ju-Heon was shocked after opening his eyes a few moments later.

‘!’

An unfamiliar sight was in front of him.

He was inside a large dome. It looked very quiet and magnificent.

The overall appearance looked like a temple with a blue light shooting up from it.

This temple building was full of books. The ceiling was so high and the floor was so low that he could barely see them. The books surrounding him in all directions must be the records of everything in the world.

Ju-Heon turned his head and saw something.

‘That is…?!’

There was an orb of light at the center of the dome.

That orb of light was continuously writing something. It was as if this orb was recording everything that was happening in real time.

‘That has to be it. That must be the true body of the Akashic records.’

But at that moment…

“Is this the inside of the Akashic records?”

“!”

There were some priests next to him. They must have grabbed onto Ju-Heon and got dragged in as well.

There were about 10 of them. They were extremely excited.

“We did it!”

“We can even change history now that we are in here!”

Even the great and mighty John had failed to get in here.

But they made it in!

“Every artifact in the world will now belong to the Vatican…no, to us…!”

But at that moment…

“Aaaaaaaaaak!”

“Uggggggh!”

The priests’ bodies and heads exploded.

Crack! Crack!

“!”

It was quite the gruesome scene. All that was left were the clothes they had been wearing and the angel artifacts they had with them.

Ju-Heon wondered what had happened when he heard an unfamiliar voice.

[Intruders will automatically perish.]

[Nobody other than the Majesty may enter this area.]

It was a stoic and mechanical voice. It must be the voice of the Akashic records.

Ju-Heon then sneered.

“I guess you accept me as the Majesty since you kept me alive?”

Ju-Heon laughed, thinking that this artifact couldn't be honest with him.

However, the library shot him down almost instantly.

[No. You are not my Majesty.]

“!”

[You are only accepted about fifty percent as the Majesty because of the Seals of Heaven artifact and the Crow's artifact.]

“Oh?”

The Akashic records seemed to know about Ju-Heon.

It was understandable since the Crow had used this library to give Ju-Heon the memories of his past life.

[The Seals of Heaven is a temporary Token of a Monarch. It sticks to people at the Four Emperors-Grade and gives them a few buffs until they become the Majesty. For example, it allowed you to enter the Great Prison before you awakened the first Majesty's Key.]

[In addition, the Crow is an Heirloom that has been promoted to one of the Majesty's Treasures. It is the Crown. It is the Treasure that bestows the qualifications of the Majesty. That is why you are about half way to becoming the Majesty since you have a provisional contract with such an artifact. That is the reason you are able to use the other Majesty's Treasures as well.]

It was basically telling him to deflate his giant ego because he was not the Majesty.

Ju-Heon could only scoff.

‘It also said that it could not serve two masters.’

The Akashic records artifact must have liked the former Majesty. It must have liked him a lot.

But Ju-Heon didn't care about something like that.

“You seem to have the wrong idea. The important thing right now is that I can use you, you bastard.”

[!]

Ju-Heon then pulled out a book. He pulled out a book from this library that only the Majesty could use! The Akashic records became anxious.

[Hol……!]

Ju-Heon just laughed. He didn't care what an artifact was thinking about.

‘The books here can change the abilities of those bastards’ artifact.’

The book he had confidently pulled out was labeled ‘Round Table artifact.’

This book would have everything about that artifact in it!

The rope had been a good girl and found it for him.

“Now then, with this…”

Ju-Heon opened the book.

However…

< Top 100 Round Table artifact recipes to satisfy all women in the world. > < Follow these steps and even the Majesty-nim’s lady friend would die from pleasure! > < Providing the Majesty-nim with the most important knowledge! > < Let’s have fun at the Round Table! > “……?!”

Ju-Heon questioned his eyes for a moment. The contents were 19+ material. An anxious Ju-Heon looked toward the rope.

The rope's eyes(?) were sparkling as if it was asking for praise.

[$#$&#*!]

This is the one, right? Right?

The rope gasped after seeing the angry Ju-Heon rip the book apart and throw it aside.

[#$*#$!]

It wasn’t that one? It wasn't?

Ju-Heon wasn’t going to blame the rope for it.

‘I can see why it made the mistake.’

He frowned and started to take the books out around him one by one.

However…

[How to use the stylist artifact - The stylist’s daily recommendation for the elegance of the Majesty.]

[How to use the social artifact - The way to always seem full of confidence.]

‘Why are all of the books like this? Isn’t this the Akashic records? Why is it full of these useless things…?!’

The Akashic records sighed as if to respond to his question.

[That area is the area the former Majesty frequently used. Even humans would be able to use that part of the library.]

“Ho.”

‘What the fuck was that son of a bitch doing that…’

It was odd since he seemed normal when Ju-Heon saw him through the Supreme Leader's memories.

He even looked a bit like him that Ju-Heon thought that it was a pity that he had died.

‘You deserved to die. You son of a bitch.’

Ju-Heon headed toward the orb of light as if he was angry.

“Whatever. Hand over the records of the artifact I am looking for, while I am asking nicely.”

[I cannot allow that unless you are the Majesty.]

“I will say it just one more time. Take it out. Otherwise, I will destroy this whole place.”

The library was as firm as an oak tree despite his vicious smile.

[I cannot give permission to someone without the qualifications.]

[Getting rid of the intruder now.]

Guards immediately started charging toward Ju-Heon like a swarm of bees!

Ju-Heon just scoffed and put on Chi You’s mask.

His strong aura exploded out and the guards were blasted away while screaming.

Baaaaang!

Chi You's power was overwhelming. The Akashic records was in pain after a portion of the library was destroyed.

Ju-Heon didn’t care and moved closer to the light.

“My goodness, I like the fact that you have such loyalty toward your former master. I applaud you for it. But you should know your limits. If you keep standing there with this stick up your ass…”

[Violent is useless. This is an area reserved only for the glorious Majesty. Intruders will receive punishment……]

But at that moment…

Boom!

The moment Ju-Heon put his hand on the orb of light… Something shocking happened.

[You have satisfied the requirement.]

[The tokens of your actions until now… All of your titles are being inserted into the Akashic records.]

[The records of the Majesty are starting to be stored.]

[You are able to use the Akashic records.]

[It is bringing the Round Table artifact’s records to you.]

The library started to move based on Ju-Heon's orders regardless of the records’ will.

[!]

Something popped out of the light at that moment.

It was the book that Ju-Heon had been asking for.

The book was finally in Ju-Heon’s hands. It was the real one this time with the records of the Round Table artifact inside! Everything was written in Toombglyph.

Ju-Heon smiled with satisfaction.

“Little punk, you should have done this from the beginning.”

The Akashic records was completely flabbergasted. It had not brought the book out because it had wanted to do so.

‘This human controlled me.’

Even if Ju-Heon could use the Majesty's Treasures because of the Crow, how was this possible…?!

‘Is he the King?’

The Akashic records started to shake.

‘Is this the esteemed Majesty?!’

Ju-Heon ignored the light and just read through the book.

It wasn’t hard to decipher. Ju-Heon smiled while going through this book that anybody else would have trouble reading.

“Good, I found a great part to fix.”

While Ju-Heon was busy in the library…

"Wooooooooooo! Sweep Pandora out!”

“Dismantle them right now!”

What was going on while Ju-Heon was inside the Akashic records? Riots were happening all over the world.

The new evidence spread by Ju-Heon's subordinates made everybody in the world filled with rage.

Pandora had lost all credibility with Un-known already, but with these new pieces of information…

The proof that they knew about the existence of artifacts and said nothing despite knowing people would die was the breaking point.

People all over the world were going around destroying Pandora's branch offices.

Every branch office was now destroyed and the only thing left was Pandora’s HQ in Manhattan.

Actually, it was just the Druid’s Clocktower that was still standing. People were currently gathering outside that tower.

"Get lost Pandora! Get lost!”

“We don’t need an organization like you any longer!”

The reason that so much had happened while Ju-Heon was inside the Akashic records was because the flow of time was different.

Time flowed much faster out here than inside the Akashic records.

Inside the Druid’s Clocktower…

The building of the Executive Board was full of swearing people.

“Fuck, how did we end up in this mess?!”

“What are we going to do about the people outside?! Let’s get rid of them!”

"We can't even go home like this!”

The other executives scoffed at them.

“They can't destroy the iron walls of this tower even if they attack it with Divine-Grade artifacts.”

“That is true. Actually, this might all be for the better. We don't need to be wary anymore and can just use force to get our way…”

It was at that moment.

Bang!

There was an explosion at the Druid’s Clocktower. The citizens outside started screaming as well.

“Ahhhhhhhh!”

“Aaah!”

The members of the Executive Board started laughing.

“I guess they’re already getting started. The knights said that they would massacre everybody out there.”

“They should know their place. They are just filthy animals.”

“Ah, I wish they would hurry the fuck up. I have my son's birthday party today.”

The area outside the clocktower was turning into hell.

The Knights of the Round Table and Pandora’s soldiers were not just killing people holding weapons, they were also killing people who were running away.

They were saying that anybody who gets on Pandora’s nerves was their enemy.

“Please save me, mommy, mommy!”

“Aaaaaaaaaak!”

Ju-Heon’s subordinates as well as Irene, George, and other allies quickly moved but these bastards were cheap as hell.

“Wow, those sons of bitches. They’re too wicked!”

They walked into the iron walls of the tower as soon as they appeared.

They were hiding inside the Druid’s Clocktower!

They were hiding their asses while launching attacks outside.

Bang! Bang bang!

“Aaah! Please save me!”

Unfortunately, even Gungnir could not break through the iron walls of this tower. They couldn't open it with Joy's key either.

The team members were doing their best to defend as they looked toward Julian.

“Vice Captain-nim, is there no way to get through this place?”

Julian, who had been attacking while using Kongming's artifact, seemed to be tired as well.

“Damn it. There’s nothing we can do…!”

Jaeha ended up creating a building out of nothing to evacuate people.

“Please move quickly! Hurry!”

Chloe and Grave Company used healing artifacts inside the building to heal the injured people.

People raised their voices even more through the chaos.

“Just a little more! Try just a little harder!”

“You can do it! Pandora’s executives are in there if we can get inside!”

“They killed my parents!”

Boom! Boom!

People were still trying to break the doors of the Druid’s Clocktower. The Executive Board just sneered at them.

“This tower won't budge at all no matter what you do.”

“Just let them be. I heard that the stupid tend to be the most courageous.”

“That’s right. We can just take a nap at the Round Table until it is over……”

But at that moment…

“Huh, huh? Wait a minute. Wasn't that the sound of a door opening?”

“Excuse me? What kind of bullshit…”

They couldn't help but question their eyes.

“Hey! W, what the hell?! Look at that!”

The doors to this impregnable fortress were opening.

They were actually opening on their own!
