Gollun, the Grave Robber.

He was one of Seol's pieces, the first to etch the name 'Snowman' into the memories of the gods who enjoyed the game.

Gollun started out as just another of Seol's ordinary pieces. He was, at least... until his peculiar traits revealed themselves.

[You have earned Tendency: Kleptomaniac.]

[From now on, you will unwittingly take other people's belongings.]

[You realize that you have a fondness for graves.]

[You will only feel fulfilled by uncovering all graves.]

Seol could finally decide on Gollun's path after having these two abilities awaken.

The adventurer-no, rather, a grave robber-began uncovering graves from that day forth.

While Lian's potential grew exponentially after his Innate Talent was revealed, Gollun's Tendency caused Seol many headaches.

Firstly, he couldn't enter cities or towns because of his kleptomania.

Essentially, he was no longer allowed to rest or stockpile on necessary materials from stores.

If Seol ever carelessly wandered into a town, Gollun would inevitably be adorned with other people's possessions, like fruits on a tree, and spend the entire day being pursued by the town's guards.

Not to mention, Gollun was essentially incapable of taking on ordinary missions.

If Gollun stumbled upon signs of a grave during an Adventure, he would disregard everything else to uncover it, even the Adventure's Objective, as if he only had a single brain cell.

However, shadows only exist in the presence of light.

[You are now able to smell the scent of money.]

[You can quickly find hidden treasures.]

[You have earned Tendency: Hoarder.]

[You are no longer able to sell the items that you collect, but in exchange, hoarding them in a specific location will increase your stats.]

Seol had earned this effect while uncovering a tomb with Gollun.

This skill marked Gollun's transformation from a caterpillar into a soaring butterfly.

While the 'scent of money' effect didn't always trigger, when it did, it practically guaranteed extraordinary riches within the tomb, like discovering a colony of barnacles clinging to the hull of a ship.

With his new ability, Gollun could gather treasures more swiftly than ever.

And Hoarder.

Unable to enter cities, Seol was forced to sell Gollun's items to wandering traders or on the black market. As such, he could never fetch a fair price for them.

But what other choice did he have?

It was pointless to hold onto useless items, after all.

But now, with Hoarder, there was no longer a reason to sell the treasures. In fact, just gathering them was much more beneficial, even if it meant purchasing some.

Seol began unearthing graves to store the treasures he acquired from them in the designated spot, increasing his stats and enabling him to take on increasingly more dangerous tombs and graves.

With a clear path to success, Gollun rapidly grew stronger through this method.

Gollun's hoard grew massively, turning him strong enough to overpower anyone at his level.
