Episode 32
“I really need to rest now.”
Liglian said, leaning back in his chair. X received a morale skill called Death Denial and a hatchling dragon as a reward. At Liglien’s words, X moved quickly.
“I’m sorry I made too much of a fuss because I was so happy. Rest in peace, Liglian! I’ll just go now. Next time I stop by, I won’t come empty-handed!”
The iron rule of business! You must give back as much as you received.
X, who bowed his head to Liglien, suddenly stopped.
‘Ligrien might know.’
This is Liglian, who can be said to be the closest aide to the King of Gourmet.
You might know someone who might know the Gourmet King’s recipe.
“I’m sorry to keep bothering you, Liglian, but do you know someone who knows the Gourmet King’s recipe? I really want to learn Ligliant’s recipe right away, but my skills are not that good…”
“Well, I can’t be sure.”
Liglien leaned forward and responded.
As he was thinking, he continued speaking.
“However, a great sage who is said to have mastered the laws of the world might know about this guy’s recipe. “He often went to the great sage to seek knowledge.”
I had never heard of him as a great sage.
X asked.
“Can I know what the Great Sage’s name is?”
“Sioras.”
“I understand, Sioras. Thank you, Liglian!”
It’s Sioras.
X was also a name I had never heard before. Where does he live? I was curious, but I couldn’t bother Liglian any more. The reason he answered calmly seemed to be because he no longer had the energy to move.
Let’s go back.
A notification rang for X, who had made up his mind.
[After 24 hours, the effect of ‘Death Denial’ is lifted!]
“Kyaung?”
Blood and flesh were rising between the skeleton’s bones.
Yongyong, surprised by the sight, briefly flew into the sky and hovered around X.
“Let’s go, Yongyong. “You can’t be noisy anymore.”
X glanced at Liglian, who seemed to be asleep. Yongyong recognized the voice and pressed his face against X’s cheek. X made his way to the door of the mansion.
“Then I’ll see you next time.”
I muttered softly and opened the door to the mansion.
Squeak! But I had one question.
‘…How do I get out of here?’
Dead Man’s Beach!
X chewed the fish’s thorn and reached Dead Man’s Beach. I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed because I hadn’t even thought about leaving. But X’s worries didn’t last long.
The moment the door to the mansion opened, X’s eyes turned dark.
X and Yongyong’s new form disappeared in an instant.
Crack! Liglian, who was left alone, smiled and muttered.
“As your successor… I think you chose someone who is similar to you but completely different, my lord.”
*
Flash! When I opened my eyes, I saw a true woman.
‘Who is it?’
The woman who made eye contact with X’s cheeks instantly turned red.
“Wow!”
Slap! Then he threw away the handkerchief he was holding and ran out.
X didn’t understand this situation.
When I opened the door to the mansion, my vision became dark, and when I opened my eyes, I saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
Jump up! The door opened again and a familiar voice was heard.
“Oh oh. Have you finally come to your senses?
‘This voice…’
Isn’t it the voice of a middle-aged man who spent time fishing next to you when you were passionate about fishing in the lover’s sea?
X stood up and checked the man’s face.
“How did this happen?”
“That’s what I wanted to ask. What on earth did you believe in when you chewed and swallowed the nameless spiny fish? “It’s already been four days since you lost your mind.”
“Four days for me?!”
X stuttered.
They say I’m somehow lucky, but is this all just a dream?
X somehow manipulated the UI. And I breathed a sigh of relief.
‘It’s not a dream.’
Because I saw the skills Death Denial and Summoning!
Summoning was a skill that summoned a pet. The skills acquired when accepting Yongyong as a pet were like proof that meeting Liglian was not a dream.
‘What kind of ability do they have to create such a space…’
Hidden place, Dead Man’s Beach!
During the time he was unconscious, X had spent time on Dead Man’s Beach.
It was understandable that my sense of time was slightly blurred in the Forest of the Dead.
‘Anyway, I think I understand why Kalon was so upset, right?’
Although Kalon is not the same as X, he must have had a similar experience.
It was a series of unpredictable events, befitting the name of a geek.
X rubbed his chest and bowed his head to the man.
“Thank you for taking care of me. Even if it’s a small case…”
“Hehe, don’t say such sad things. I also got something from you. Oops! Come to think of it, did you have a conversation with my daughter? “Even though he’s shy, he’s a really good kid.”
It seemed like he was referring to the woman his eyes met when he opened his eyes.
‘If I keep listening, I think the story will get longer.’
X, who was listening to the man’s words, got up from the bed at the right time.
After saying thank you, I left the man’s house. The man clearly looked sad.
“Is there something urgent?”
“Yes, I have something to check.”
“Then there is nothing we can do. Feel free to stop by anytime!”
“Be careful…”
A woman’s voice was heard from behind the man. X bowed politely once again and quickly left the village. Like I said, there was something I wanted to check.
“Yongyong.”
Yongyong, a newborn hatchling dragon!
I was worried about the well-being of the guy I had even given a name to.
After looking around and seeing that there were no eyes around him, X opened his mouth.
“Summons.”
“Kyuuuu!”
“How are you?”
“Kyuuu. “Kyuuu.”
Yongyong pressed his face against X’s cheek.
Did you like the feel of soft skin, unlike bone?
He sat on X’s shoulder and expressed his affection in earnest.
“Thanks to you, Yongyong, it won’t be hot anymore.”
The cold feel of dragon skin.
X took Yongyong away for a moment and opened the inventory. At last check, Yongyong’s satiety level was 10%. Yongyong had not been able to eat anything since he was born.
“Let’s see what would be good.”
X’s inventory was plentiful.
All kinds of meat and spices!
The only problem was what to feed Yongyong.
Now that I’m raising a dragon that doesn’t exist in my family, it’s essential to treat my master well!
X lined up different types of meat in front of Yongyong.
“Yongyong, take your pick. “What do you want to eat most?”
“Kyuu?”
Sniff.
Yongyong twitched his nose and sniffed. Did he instinctively recognize that it was food?
Soon he opened his mouth wide and started chewing the nearest piece of beef.
“You know how to eat meat.”
X looked at Yongyong happily.
If you eat well, your growth will accelerate.
I couldn’t help but laugh as I thought about taking revenge on those arrogant War Machine guys with Yongyong.
Tsk tsk tsk! As soon as Yongyong swallowed the beef, he started chewing the deer meat next to him.
“Kyuuu!”
“You must be very hungry.”
Still, overeating is prohibited.
X opened the status window to check how full Yongyong was.
And I couldn’t help but be shocked.
I’m sure I just ate a large piece of beef, but my satiety only increased by 1%!
“Now, even though it’s small, it’s still a dragon, right?”
“Kyuu?”
If you eat like this three times a day, how much will your food expenses go down?
If it weren’t for this golden hand, the price of food would have been unbearable.
But what can you do? Yongyong is a dragon.
Considering the cost of food Yongyong will pay in the future, this is a cheap meal.
“I’m still eating really well.”
“Kyuuu!”
“Man, I will have to bend my spine to feed you.”
It seemed like I would have to be more diligent in storing food ingredients in the future.
X, who was watching Yongyong eat, let out a deep sigh.
*
X canceled the summoning of Yongyong.
“Well, no one would think it was a dragon.”
What kind of person in the world would be able to raise a dragon as a pet?
Even if X goes around bragging that Yongyong is a real dragon, people won’t believe him.
But X didn’t want to attract unnecessary attention.
‘It’s just uncomfortable, isn’t it?’
Anyway, X is not the type of person to sit still in the village.
There was enough time to spend with Yongyong. X went back to Lablina.
‘I need to fill my stomach too.’
Spices were sprinkled on street food and inhaled.
Then I organized my thoughts.
“Tsk tsk, it would be impossible to find a great sage.”
[Your heavenly sense of taste has discovered the hidden taste of ‘spicy fried noodles’!]
[The chewy texture of the noodles is absorbed into your body!]
[Maximum stamina increases by 30 points!]
[Dexterity increases by 1 point!]
Great Sage Sioras!
It was realistically impossible to find Sioras without knowing where or who he lived.
So what to do right now has been decided.
“I need to become stronger.”
Rapid level up!
Although I gained a lot from meeting Liglian, I was unable to use it properly.
Moreover, now that I have Yongyong, I wanted to practice fighting with Yongyong in combination.
“Tsk tsk tsk level is over 100.”
The current level
of
Because competition for decent hunting grounds was fierce. However, this did not apply to X.
“There’s a place that’s just perfect!”
X had a place he had set his sights on before.
That place is the desert of oblivion!
This is an area where users are almost extinct due to the overwhelming sand monsters and strong sunlight. But X had heavenly cooking.
‘Well, Yongyong just needs to get some rest.’
You just need to practice enough to get the sum right.
No matter how much it is a desert of oblivion, X’s current abilities are similar to those of a top ranker. The Desert of Oblivion monsters in the early 100s were no match for X.
‘Plus, you can get artifacts.’
relics!
It is an ancient item that is better than rare, but has slightly lower performance than unique.
Artifacts are found in ruins of ancient kingdoms, the Desert of Oblivion being one of them.
‘Honestly, it’s more of a tricky item than a good one.’
Relics only become fully effective when worn as a set. In addition, you get a special set effect, and if you wear a full set of relics, you can expect higher effects than a unique set of a similar level.
However, none of the relics were items that were difficult to obtain.
As it is an item from the ancient kingdom, the drop rate is very low.
The number of users wearing a full set of relics was only a handful among the tens of millions of Fate users.
But X had a golden hand.
“Let’s give it a try until we get it.”
The destination is the desert of oblivion!
The goal is a full set of artifacts!
With his resolve strengthened, X prepared to head to Arba, the capital of the Arba Kingdom.

I lay in the capsule for two and a half days, but I was not tired.
That’s because there was a huge harvest this time. match! Jiwon Lee slapped himself on the cheek.
It’s tingling.
That means it’s not a dream.
“Yongyong, my brother cherishes me very much!”
An unexpectedly huge reward!
Just thinking about Yongyong made me laugh out loud. Of course, even talking about denying death only hurts your mouth.
Jiwon Lee smiled and started searching. When I searched for information about pets, various articles caught my eye.
“Increasing intimacy isn’t usually difficult.”
It is said that the more noble the lineage, the more difficult it is to increase intimacy. In Fate World, there is no lineage more noble than that of a dragon. However, Yongyong was a dragon and had more charm than a country mutt.
“It would be perfect if I just ate a little less rice, but wow…”
Lee Ji-won, who looked at the information about the Desert of Oblivion once again, accessed the Meiji website.
As always, before going to sleep, I checked the current level of the rankers and strengthened my will.
But a note arrived.
‘It’s from Meiji?’
Lee Ji-won tilted his head, saying the account fee must not have been delayed.
Lee Ji-won, who was soon opening the note and reading it, muttered.
“Congratulations on being selected as a Mage streamer…?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
