Those Who Seek to Own Relics

TOMB RAIDER KING
Die, you bastard!
B-Boss!
Boss!
I'll take good care of this.
But it's mine.
Let me show you
how you properly use it.
H-He stabbed me!
Well? Want to keep going?
What did you just say?!
XIANG GALLERY
Jooheon Suh beat you up?
And then he did what?
You expect me to believe that?
It's like he was possessed!
He just came at us with some crazy moves!
You should've seen the look in his eyes!
How much did he take from you?
All the money in my account
and the Buddha statue.
What?!
You useless little shit!
Go get it back right now, idiot!
Hm, strange.
That thing isn't even worth fifty bucks.
Might as well get rid of it.
It can't just be junk if Kyungtae
held on to it that tightly.
SPY SKILL ACTIVATED
THE STATUE CONTAINS A SUSPICIOUS SUBSTANCE.
A suspicious substance?
Don't tell me
Of course.
Well, look at that.
That’s nothing you'd
hand over to a pawnshop.
Hey, Jooheon?
Hi, Geonwoo.
XIANG GALLERY
I-I am terribly sorry.
Yes, sir.
Of course, I truly am
Who is it? I'm on the phone!
K-Kyungjoo.
We received a tip
about several drug offenses.
D-Drugs? We're law-abiding citizens!
All we sell is art.
We already collected the evidence.
I assume the rest is in the warehouse?
They even know about
the warehouse in Gyeonggi-do?
Good thing every room
is password protected.
A warehouse? And what evidence?
Even the police cannot just
All 600 pieces of art have been checked!
We found drugs in all of them.
Y-You opened all the rooms?!
Nice and quiet now.
But every room had
a different password. How?
One moment, ma'am.
For you.
Maybe you should've
lived a little more decently.
N-No … Jooheon Suh?
Passwords need to be changed
every now and then, you know?
Well enjoy prison.
You filthy little rat!
I'll kill you for this!
GEONWOO
YOU’LL GET YOUR
100 MILLION WON REWARD SOON.
DON’T BLOW IT ALL
AND SAVE THE MONEY!
You'll get your 100
million won reward soon.
Don't blow it all and save the money!
He worries way too much.
That takes care of my starting capital.
First, I'll get some sleep.
Then tomorrow, the tomb hunt begins.
What the? Where's my apartment?
Did a tomb appear here?
Is this good or bad luck?
Yeah, it's unbelievable.
How is this possible?
Yes, I just arrived.
Korea doesn't know
about the tombs yet, correct?
We'll be detonating this one soon.
Yes. So far, no one seems
to have recognized it as a tomb.
Understood.
Hello there.
You?
Why so surprised, Linda Walker?
What is the Japanese
excavation team doing here?
That’s hardly something
someone from the States should ask.
How's the jet lag?
So we're full-on thieves now, Abe?
Come on, we both know what
we're after. Why the hypocrisy?
Save your energy. The relic is ours.
Well, well.
The CIA and the Japanese
team are already here.
But what kind of amateur
would blow up a tomb?
Good. Looks like
there's no experts around.
Aren't these
Yes, without a doubt – tomb glyphs.
The language of those damned relics.
The funny part is:
These relics go into great detail
writing about themselves.
If you can read the glyphs, you'll find
out where the entrance and traps are.
This is going great already.
Let's start reading, then.
[EXPERT CRYPTOGRAPHER]
YOU HAVE GAINED A NEW TITLE AND UNLOCKED A SKILL.
TOMB RAIDER BASIC SKILLS
LINGUISTICS (RANK F) HAS BEEN ACTIVATED.
Ha, how generous of that winged bastard.
TOMB RAIDER BASIC SKILLS (2/4)

LINGUISTICS [RANK F]

Perfect. Only two skills left.
This should be the place.
All right, let's go!
What is that?
The tomb entrance seems to be opening!
What? It's opening?
What a spectacle!
How is this happening?
Something should be
showing up around here by now.
Ah.
This is the right place.
Found it.
Hm. This should do it.
Oh, a visitor.
Yet another poor soul
has dropped his treasure.
Speak.
Hey, over here!
Can't you see me?
Hm?
You blind old serpent!
Now, then
The gold knife or the silver knife.
Which one is yours?
This relic is based on
"The Gold Axe and the Silver Axe".
A very famous story that originates
from one of Aesop's fables,
with variations found all over the world.
Even foreigners can
clear this tomb easily.
But this time, it's my turn first.
I await your answer.
Unfortunately, neither one is mine.
Oh-ho. An honest human.
Then perhaps this one belongs to you?
You bet it does.
If I say yes, I get my knife,
a gold axe, and a silver axe.
That would clear the tomb.
But
May I take a closer look at it?
Of course.
What do you think you're doing?!
Shut up. I don't trust you things.
There's no guarantee
you'll reward me fairly.
Your gift could easily turn me
into a deranged murderer.
H-How do you know about that, human?
I think it happened in the US back then.
SERIAL KILLINGS IN THE STATES
RELIC USER CAUSES YET ANOTHER TRAGEDY
At the time, the axe relic
turned its user into a serial killer.
This is your end.
So
submit already, relic!
So this is how you plan to claim me?
Let's see how strong you are.
I'll use "dominance" to subdue you!
Affinity: The ability
to control relics through trust.
Dominance – the ability
to coerce and force a relic to obey.
And compatibility.
The ideal bond between relic and master.
Like a musician with an instrument relic.
You stubborn worm!
Away! Begone!
I'm not going to suck up to you relics!
I don't give a damn
about affinity this time round.
Obey me, relic!
Or I'll destroy you.
Do you think I won't do it?!
Enough, you lunatic!
What a pest.
You should've obeyed from the start.
Will you look at that shine.

YOUR AFFINITY HAS DECREASED.
"Abuser of Relics"?
"Abuser" of all things, hah.
You damn crow,
you're trying to mess with me, aren't you?
It should be right ahead
There's the pond!
Just as the prophecy foretold.
Come on out, relic.
W-What are you doing?
You idiots are too late.
Why is nothing happening?
The prophet said all I needed to do
was throw a relic in the pond!
A prophet?
So Japan really does
have a prophecy relic.
N-No! Stop trying to get intel from me!
What's going on now?
A-An earthquake.
Damn it, something's wrong!
We have to get out!
XIANG GALLERY
Damn it!
They really took everything.
With both of our bosses arrested
this business is finished …
I'm aware, dumbass.
And it's all Jooheon Suh's fault.
But this isn't over.
Yeah, that’s more like it!
Are you gonna kick his ass?
Duh! Nobody gets away from me.
Or else I wouldn't be Seungwoo Oh!
Wow!
Wow!

ERRAND BOY JOOHEON SUH
DECLINE / ACCEP
Oh?
Y-Yeah? Hello?
What took you so long?
Do you have a death wish?
W-Where's your respect, huh?
Yeah, yeah.
You guys need to run
a little errand for me.
That was a total failure.
Hm? There was another prophecy?
A Korean beat us to it.
We only just found out.
And you kept that from me?!
You know what that relic user is like.
Don't tell me
she couldn't read the kanji again.
Well, kids these days.
We're working on it.
So you keep doing your best too.
And be careful of that Korean.
W-What? Why?
The prophecy was rather grim.
He's called
"the one who will devour the world."
What? Midas?!
Midas is the world's
largest secret auction house
based in Las Vegas.
If I keep an eye on what's going on there,
I might learn what Kwon is planning.
Go to this month's auction
to find a few items and a person for me.
Look for Jack Kayman, also known as JK.
That's his alias.
Don't be ridiculous!
How are we supposed to get in there?
Figure that out yourselves.
I'll pay well,
so expenses won't be an issue.
I won't be forcing you, of course.
You do have a choice:
Go willingly, or I'll beat you there.
Goodbye!
Good. That should cover
the preparations for now.
Time to go relic hunting.
Breaking news.
This marks the fourth murder
reported this month.
The suspect allegedly attempted
suicide by self-immolation.
SUICIDE ATTEMPT NEAR YEONGDEUNGPO STATION
According to witnesses
Just like how it was back then,
before a new tomb appeared.
Hey! Watch where you're going!
Oh? That’s the guy I locked in the tomb.
If he's here, then
How about an apology?
the next tomb must be appearing soon.
Around this time,
someone in Japan had a prophecy relic.
What are you staring at?
And it looks like this guy
also has a relic on him.
That dumbass isn't even hiding its aura.
Something wrong with your head?
Whatever it is, I want it.
Hey!
Are you even listening to me?!
What the hell?!
Oh, I'm terribly sorry.
It's all over my clothes!
You better pay for dry cleaning!
This is expensive!
Sadly, I don't have any money.
It doesn't look expensive anyway.
Excuse me?
JAPANESE EXCAVATION TEAM
You dropped your ID.
G-Give that to me!
Did he recognize me?
No one can know that the JSDF is in Korea.
Bingo! A tomb manifestation.
A new one is appearing right now.
Good. Just like the prophecy.
Hello? The manifestation has just begun.
I know. We also received a prophecy
that the Korean with
the axe relic is near you.
And that you, for some reason,
should be careful around alcohol.
That little shit
was the guy from the prophecy?
TOMB RAIDER KING
Die, you bastard!
