The Black Tower Administrator’s Area.
“Khee hee hee! It’s complete!”
Eileen smiled brightly and opened the lid of the pot. The black liquid inside had disappeared, leaving only a black lump.
“Khee hee hee! It turned out just as I planned.”
It was hard to guess what Eileen was making. If it was food, it looked like a failure. But Eileen said it was exactly as she planned.
“I need to cut it up so Sejun can eat it easily!”
Click. Click.
Eileen carefully cut the black lump into equal pieces. He could eat it all at once, but it was too strong for Sejun to digest quickly.
A short while later.
“Khee hee hee! Sejun, here you go.”
Eileen sent Sejun her health food, cut into 1000 pieces.
Black Tower, 99th floor.
“Aigo. This is nice!”
Sejun, having finished dinner, lay on the stone platform, gazing at the early evening sky, a mix of light and darkness.
‘Heh heh heh. I should just relax and enjoy myself for a while.’
Balance is important in everything. He had been working for days, so it was time to rest.
Kkuhehehe.
Kkihihit.
On either side of Sejun, Kkueng and Fenrir were snuggled against his backside, enjoying his caresses.
Kkihihit. Kking! Kking?
‘Heh heh. I knew it! Where can I find more of my core fragments?’
Fenrir, having eaten the cheese omelet Sejun made for dinner, was even more convinced of his theory.
If something as delicious as the cheese omelet appeared again, he might be willing to give up another core fragment.
As Sejun, Kkueng, and Fenrir were enjoying their full bellies after dinner,
[The Tower Administrator says in a confident voice that she has completed a dish for you.]
“Oh? Th-thank you.”
He thought she had forgotten…
Sejun, with a bewildered expression, thanked Eileen and opened the pouch that appeared in his hand.
Inside the pouch were cube-shaped objects, almost as black as charcoal, hardly something one could call food.
[Eileen’s Special Nutrient Cookie Pieces]
This is a cookie?
He wouldn’t have thought it was a cookie until he saw the name.
Frankly, even after seeing the name, he would have believed it if someone said it was coal.
Perhaps because she was the Great Black Dragon, Eileen loved the color black too much. She must have made it black on purpose, not because it was burnt. That must be it?
Sejun picked up one of the black cookie pieces and examined its properties.
[Eileen’s Special Nutrient Cookie Pieces]
A special nutrient cookie made by the Great Black Dragon Eileen Fritani, using the finest elixirs, exclusively for Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun. It has been divided into 1000 pieces for the safety of Black Tower Farmer Park Sejun.
Made with tremendous heat and pressure, it has lost almost none of the elixir’s strength, but has become so hard that it can break diamonds.
Consuming it increases all stats by 0.5.
Consuming all 1000 pieces of Eileen’s special nutrient supplement increases all stats by 500.
Usage Restriction: All stats must be 1500 or higher.
Cook: The Great Black Dragon Eileen Fritani
Expiration Date: None
Grade: SS+
Still, Eileen’s fist-sized health food was said to be as hard as diamond before…
This was said to be hard enough to break diamonds.
Eileen’s skills were improving day by day. She had created an even more incredible weapon… no, dish.
This cookie looked as powerful and strange as Eileen herself seemed confident.
“Vitality.”
Sejun first emptied his stomach with a skill, then
Nom.
He put a piece of Eileen’s special nutrient cookie in his mouth.
He tried to melt the cookie piece in his mouth, but it was so firmly packed that it had no taste.
He couldn’t bite down on it to taste it, or he might break a tooth, so Sejun swallowed it immediately.
Then,
[You have consumed Eileen’s Special Nutrient Cookie Piece.]
[The medicinal properties contained in Eileen’s Special Nutrient Cookie Piece are too tightly packed.]
[It will take 20 hours for Eileen’s Special Nutrient Cookie Piece to be completely digested.]
A message appeared.
“Oh! This doesn’t make me full?”
It just takes a long time to digest.
Can I eat a lot at once, then?
Sejun picked up cookie pieces and slowly put them in his mouth one by one. Nothing happened until the fifth one.
“I guess it’s okay.”
Gulp.
Gaining confidence, Sejun quickly swallowed two or three cookie pieces at a time.
“Heh heh heh. Good.”
At this rate, I can eat 100 a day and finish all 1000 in 10 days.
Just as Sejun was confidently swallowing the 15th cookie piece,
[Too much potent medicine is accumulating in your body and turning into poison.]
[An S-grade poison will be completed in 30 seconds.]
“Huh? Poison?”
S-grade poison?!
Green Onion!!!
Sejun hurriedly ran into his subspace warehouse and chewed on an S-grade detox green onion.
Then,
[You have consumed the Detox Green Onion.]
[Detoxifies poisons below S-grade for 1 hour.]
[Poison will not be created in the body.]
A message appeared.
“Whew.”
Sejun breathed a sigh of relief. If he had been just a little later…
He would have been in big trouble if he hadn’t harvested the S-grade detox green onion from his past achievement of detoxifying Tier’s deadly poison.
‘I should only eat 10 safely from now on.’
He could eat a lot while detoxifying with the detox green onion, but then the medicine that turned into poison would also be detoxified.
It was like spending a lot of money to eat nutritious food and then taking diet pills that interfere with nutrient absorption.
[You have overcome a near-death experience.]
[Talent: Tenacious Vitality is activated.]
[Health increased by 1.]
“I know.”
Sejun, the glass cannon who almost died from his own greed when there was no danger around, was annoyed at the message for no reason.
And so, Sejun survived safely today as well.
Kkueng? Kkueng?
[Daddy, why are you suddenly getting up? Are we going to eat snacks?]
Kking?! Kking!
‘Why are you eating alone?! Give me some too!’
Kkueng and Fenrir, who had been quiet until Sejun ate Eileen’s cookies, followed Sejun into the subspace warehouse.
Thanks to them, he was having another snack time when
“Huh?”
Sejun felt Theo’s presence in the distance. Had he already obtained the land deed?
At that moment,
“Chairman Park, I missed you, meow!”
Theo, who had appeared out of nowhere, clung to Sejun’s face, rubbing his face against Sejun’s head.
It was Theo’s new technique, Nyan Nyan Bo, which could only be used when heading towards Sejun, but could move him like teleportation for a few kilometers.
“Kkyut kkyut kkyut. Hello, Mr. Sejun!”
Iona’s voice was heard in his ear.
“Yes. Hello, Iona.”
Sejun grabbed Theo by the scruff of his neck, pulled him away from his face, and greeted Iona.
“Vice Chairman Theo, did you get all the land deeds?”
He asked, putting Theo on his lap.
“Not yet, meow! I only got the land deed for the 75th floor, meow! So, we’re leaving right now to get the land deed for the 68th floor, meow!”
Theo said, hugging Sejun’s lap tightly.
“Huh?! Me too?!”
“That’s right, meow! You’re going to the 70th floor with me, Vice Chairman Theo, meow!”
“Why the 70th floor? We’ve already been there.”
“The land deed for the 68th floor is in Dino, the sealed Lizard Kingdom capital on the 70th floor, meow!”
“On the 70th floor?”
There was definitely nothing there when we looked around before?
“Okay. Then let’s sleep and go tomorrow morning.”
“No, meow! We’re leaving right now, meow! Adventure awaits us, meow!”
“It’s already night, so it’s going to get dark anyway.”
“If Chairman Park says so, I understand, meow! Then let’s go to sleep, meow!”
He insisted strongly, but Theo immediately became docile at Sejun’s words.
The next morning.
“Then let’s go, meow!”
Sejun and his party set off for the 70th floor.
As Sejun headed to the 70th floor, the second Dragon Council was beginning in the Red Dragon’s territory.
“Fwahahaha. It’s been a long time since so many dragons have gathered.”
Ramter said with a bright expression, looking at the dragons filling the Red Dragon’s territory.
It was almost impossible to mobilize so many dragons unless it was wartime.
But today, 4,000 Great Red Dragons and 2,000 other dragonkin had come, filling a total of 20,000 seats.
Moreover, the dragons, who thought of a day as about a second, were not at all late for the appointed time.
The large number of attendees meant respect for the dragon hosting the meeting, so Ramter puffed out his chest with a proud look.
“Then let’s begin the meeting.”
At Ramter’s words, the meeting began.
“Only the dragons managing each tower should hunt the red mist within a 1000km radius of their tower, and hunting by other dragonkin should be prohibited!”
“I think 2000km is better!”
“Then there will be overlapping areas! Are you trying to take over the area around your Golden Tower?!”
Unlike the first Dragon Council, the second Dragon Council was proceeding fiercely.
And
What on earth is going on?
Artemis Yul, the leader of the Great Golden Dragons, and the other Great Golden Dragons could not understand the situation.
Dragons were stepping forward to hunt the red mist from each other?
At the same time, they were annoyed. The dragons were blatantly targeting the area around the Golden Tower.
“We’ll take care of our tower ourselves! And dragons who want to hunt in our area must get permission separately!”
So Artemis hurriedly stepped in to resolve the situation, and thanks to her, the meeting ended quickly.
“Good. The meeting is over, so dragons who want to leave can leave.”
“…”
No dragon left their seat at Ramter’s words. They were all waiting for something.
Of course, they wouldn’t.
“Then, I have prepared a small meal for the dragons who attended the meeting, so I hope you enjoy it.”
With Ramter’s words, food appeared in the center, and the dragons began to put as much food as they could eat on their plates.
Everyone was unfamiliar with the food, so they didn’t put much on their plates at first, but
“It’s rice cake and honey!”
“It’s sweet potato soup!”
The hatchlings who had already eaten Sejun’s food filled their plates with food.
“Hocus, let’s pack some in our subspace too!”
“Okay! Hakun hyung!”
“Sylvia will pack some too!”
Not only that, but the hatchlings were storing food in their subspace to eat later.
While the dragons were filling their plates with Sejun’s food,
“Now. Take a glass each!”
Ramter said, taking out a bottle of golden Samyangju.
It’s a shame, I would have drunk it alone if it wasn’t for the contract with Sejun.
Ramter licked his lips as he looked at the bottle in his hand. It was because Sejun had only given him one bottle of golden Samyangju.
Sejun had a feeling that this golden Samyangju was no ordinary item, so he only provided one bottle to complete the quest.
And he made a separate contract stating that the leader of every dragonkin must drink a glass so that Ramter wouldn’t drink the alcohol alone!
Pour.
As Ramter tilted the bottle, a golden liquid flowed out with a rich aroma.
“When did our Sejun make something like this?”
“No… what kind of alcohol is this?!”
“Ramter, that sly fellow… did he receive new alcohol from Sejun all by himself?”
Kaiser, Kellion, and Tier, who drank Sejun’s Samyangju every day, knew that this alcohol was different from the existing Samyangju just by smelling the aroma.
“Now. To the great dragonkin!”
As Ramter, who had filled the other leaders’ glasses with golden Samyangju, raised his glass,
“To the great dragonkin!”
The other leaders also raised their glasses and chanted in unison, drinking the alcohol at the same time.
Gulp.
“Oh!”
The leaders were impressed by the taste of the alcohol.
At that moment,
[You have consumed Golden Samyangju.]
[The Curse of Oblivion disappears.]
The Curse of Oblivion that had clouded the minds of the dragon leaders, making them forget important things, was completely lifted.
And
[The Great Black Dragon Kaiser Fritani has drunk a glass of Golden Samyangju.]
[The Great White Dragon Kellion Mambv has drunk a glass of Golden Samyangju.]
Sejun’s message
