"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
-AAAAAAAAA 🛡️
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🍃
-..What? 💓
-AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 💦
-Noisy!! ⛈️
-...You'd better use your wind rather than shouting 🪨
-Oh.. right.. hang on, Cale. I will try to stabilize my wind power first. Because thanks to that last power, this power not yet stable. 🍃
"DON'T TALK SO MUCH AND HURRY UP!!! AAAAAHHH DAMN CRAZY GOD!!"
-Patience, patience.. uh.. a little more.. we were frozen for some reason before... it seems like that god did something when he sent you back here...🍃
Cale felt like hitting the god of death's head with superrock as hard as he could, because that bastard threw him outside, in the sky.
-Ahem... I'm not something to hit people with, Cale 🪨
I'll have Cage curse you more when I get back!!!
"HURRY UP!!"
-Be patient... it's hard Cale!! 🍃
"FUCK!! CRAZY GOD! I WILL DEFINITELY HIT YOU!!"
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' apologizes]
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' said tht he suddenly lost connection with you]
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' said that he cannot determine where you will fall]
[Constellation of 'Ruller of Fantasy' said that he was also busy contacting Cage because your family almost killed Barrow]
"What?"
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' says it has now been dealt with]
"Oh good.."
"NOT THAT!! AT LEAST STABILIZE MY SOUL, DAMMIT!!!"
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' said that he forgot to do it while we were there]
"DAMN GOD!!!"
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' is sad because of your curse]
"SAD YOUR ASS AND WHY HAVEN'T FALLE TO THE GROUND YET!!
-I managed to slow you down, Cale, but it's still difficult to control my ancient power 🍃
[Humans?!]
"..Bihyung?"
[Why did you fall???]
"Tha-"
[I-I'll ask for help!!]
[Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' shocked and will bring another one]
But before Cale could ask who he was bringing, lots of messages came in.
[Constellation 'Demonic Judge of Fire' who came after being invited by constellation 'Secretive Plotter' was shocked]
[Constellation 'Prisoner of the Golden Headband' screams in horror seeing you fall]
[Constellation 'Abyssal Black Flame Dragon' flaps his wings and screams FLY!!]
"I CAN'T!!!"
[Many constellations are in chaos]
[10,000 coins sponsored]
'HAVE YOU DONE IT YET?!'
-Be patient!!!! All this because of that bastard named Probabi!🍃
"DAMN IT!!"
Approaching the ground, Cale closed his eyes, at least he had crybaby, so maybe there wouldn't be a problem?
...maybe..?
..I will definitely kick that bastard!
The impact he expected was not felt, but only hairy hand lifted him.
"Cale?!"
"?"
Cale opened his eyes and in front of him was.. werewolf..?
"Huh? Lock? No, who are you? Are there beastmen here too???"
"Cale!"
"Oh Kim Dok-"
"Hyung."
"..hyung. Who is this wolf?"
Kim Dokja, who ran while forcing Prince Imyuntar to come along, could only hold his fast beating heart while running after Bihyung came in panic, as well as indirect messages from chaotic constellations.
He almost tripped when he saw Cale fall from the sky, he didn't know why Cale didn't use his wind but luckily Imyuntar was very fast and caught Cale.
"Gosh Cale... why did you fall...?"
"Oh... noona with a split personality."
"I told you I'm not!!"
Cale ignored that noona's screams and got down from beastman's arms.
"What happened..."
Kim Dokja said lowering his head to Cale's height, he patted red head in relief.
"I just remember disappearing and appearing up there."
"Where's your uncle?"
"Go."
"Where to?"
"Don't find out."
Cale said while looking Kim Dokja in the eyes. Kim Dokja scratched his cheek and stood up straight.
"Well... I won't ask then."
"Why are you with that split personality noona?"
"Hey I have name, Cale."
"Well...a lot happened, one might say... hero saving a beauty?"
"What nonsense are you saying Kim Dokja?"
Kim Dokja shrugged his shoulders with a smile.
"Well... luckily there's no problem with you, Cale."
-It's finished! 🍃
'Late'
-Ai... 🍃
"Okay, so. What's with this beastman?"
"Ah... right."
Cale turned to look at werewolf who had been staring at him intently since he was put down, but it didn't mean he felt evil, but more like seeing a puppy looking at him curiously.
"I am Lycaon of Imyuntar. Greetings to you."
"..."
the way he talks...
"This isn't fair, weren't you impolite before? And only polite after Kim Dokja took out that token?"
"Please forgive-"
"Do it properly. Our conversation was interrupted earlier, right? Let's continue. But, is that how you apologize?"
Kim Dokja said while looking at the beastman with an annoyed face.
Before long, Lycaon's head hit the ground. He was more than three meters tall so it wasn't until he fell that his eyes were lower than Kim Dokja's. Kim Dokja looked at Lycaon.
"Right, like that."
Lycaon said with a trembling voice.
“Great dragon hunter… With the benefit of hindsight, I would like to ask you to forgive my rudeness.”
"Well, I haven't said my name yet, have I? My name is Kim Dokja."
"You?"
Lycaon raised his head slightly and looked at Cale beamingly.
"Hm? Me?"
Cale pointed at himself in confusion.
"..I'm Cale Henituse. Greetings Lycaon"
"Yes!"
Lycaon's tail spun until it resembled a propeller.
"..."
"..."
"Hey... should I introduce myself too? I'm Han Sooyo-"
"Is there anything you need, protector?"
"Hey!!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Don't laugh kid."
Sooyoung pulled Cale's cheeks in annoyance, by the way, this kid's cheeks were still as supple as before.
"It's nice to pull your cheeks..."
"Let go."
"Tsk. Still rude."
Sooyoung grumbled while releasing his naughty claws.
+
[Cale : So, what is it?
Kim Dokja : Do you remember the meteorite I told you about?
Cale : Remember, the one containing dragon before, right?
Kim Dokja: Yes, not everything contains disasters, there are also protectors. For example, this wolf, if you can defeat Igneel, you will get a token, where you can get respect from Imyuntar people.
Cale : Token?
Kim Dokja : Well... they planet was destroyed by Igneel.
Cale : What is the function of respect?
Kim Dokja : The most important thing is that I can learn unique skills of the Imyuntar people.
Cale : Hmm.. ]
+
"Hey Kim Dokja, don't just stay silent. Are you just going to leave it like that?"
Kim Dokja came to his senses and looked at Lycaon who had lowered his head again.
“Well Lycaon. There's something I need to do.”
Lycaon carefully looked up.
"Yes protector."
"Teach me Way of the Wind, which is the secret technique of your people."
Lycaon's eyes slowly became bigger.
+
[Kim Dokja : The fire dragon's southern disaster has disappeared, so the first disaster in fifth scenario is definitely 'eastern disaster.'
Cale : ?
Kim Dokja : Disaster question, honestly to prevent disaster in the east, I need to get this Imyuntar secret technique.
Cale : ..I want to rest.
Kim Dokja : Rest, I will study. ]
+
Kim Dokja patted the red head and stepped forward one step.
Let's study.
An hour later, Kim Dokja and the two returned to original location, to be honest, that location looked safer and there were no people, so it was more comfortable. And because of Sooyoung's whining, Kim Dokja explained the situation.
"...then medal you got from killing fire dragon...is important to them?"
"Yes."
"I still don't understand... fire dragon you killed at that time was one of the disasters?"
"That's right."
"...Then in fifth scenario, we have to prevent four instead of five disasters?"
"You seem to understand but don't understand?"
Han Sooyoung frowned.
"I still don't understand. Didn't you kill 'Little Igneel?' Isn't he a deteriorating dragon? So why is he a disaster? Is this also a development of Ways of Survival? Not to mention, that dragon still has twin, right?"
"...Everything that hatches from meteor disaster is disaster. It's just a coincidence that the egg splits. Besides, what comes out is not real Igneel even in novel, so Igneel won't appear in this disaster. It's hatchling Igneel that comes out. This is only fifth scenario so how could something like that wake up?”
“…You speak well. Are you a spokesperson for Ways of Survival? Are you really the author?”
Kim Dokja shrugged his shoulders at Sooyoung's question. He glanced at the little kid sitting on rock eating apple pie and explained.
+
[Kim Dokja : The scenario's difficulty was ridiculous but it was adjusted so that it could be cleared if people risked their lives.
Cale : Because if not, this world would be doomed from the start. They wouldn't create a scenario if they wanted to destroy the world.
Kim Dokja : Well... that's how it is, that's why the adjustments are carefully controlled. Lesser Igneel, a deteriorating version of the hatchlings had wiped out the prophets, who could be called an elite force at the time. Is that all? I was once killed by that dragon. If it weren't for The King of No Killing, I wouldn't be standing here.
Cale : You planned it from the start, right?
Kim Dokja : My initial plan was not that, but thankfully I was still able to take on that attribute. By the way, if Lesser Igneel had been released into Seoul and continued to level up, Seoul would have ended up the same as Lycaon's hometown.
Cale : Will little Igneel be strong too?
Kim Dokja : I don't know much about that little dragon, he has lost his status as disaster, maybe he will become normal dragon?
Cale : It would be great if we could return it to dragon clan.
Kim Dokja : Don't worry, they will appear later, but it's in a distant scenario.
Cale : Whatever, the important thing is that he can go home. ]
+
Kim Dokja looked back at Sooyoung who had no knowledge of such things and was busy complaining.
“By the way, wasn't the disaster bigger than I thought? I had a lot of trouble understanding the scale because of the way it was expressed in Ways of Survival…”
“We were lucky with fire dragon. The impending disaster will be in original state. Terrifying creatures will appear.”
+
[Kim Dokja : It's really fun to see expressions of plagiarizing writers on the novel 'original'.
Cale : Do you have a grudge?
Kim Dokja : I haven't said it yet? I once sued him but unfortunately failed.
Cale: Hmm? ]
+
"Then what should we do?"
"We have to use that guy."
Kim Dokja averted his gaze from Cale who was looking at him dumbfounded, then looked back and saw Lycaon, who was preparing for training in a faraway place.
Han Sooyoung asked.
“He looks strong. Do you want him to fight?”
“That guy is a coward. Moreover, this guide is forbidden from fighting against disasters in other worlds. We have to mind our own work.”
"Protector, I'm ready."
Kim Dokja nodded and approached Lycaon.
+
[Cale : He still calls you that.
Kim Dokja : I know? Protector is title for the owner of medal. I told him to call my name several times but Lycaon didn't give up.
Cale : So be it.
Kim Dokja : You're right.. ]
+
Kim Dokja sighed and looked at Lycaon.
"From now on, I will teach you my clan's secret technique, Way of the Wind."
+
[Cale : Wait a minute, what is Way of the Wind? What kind of skill?
Kim Dokja : Way of the Wind. It was a hidden skill that allowed the user to use the wind like their own limbs.
Cale : Wind?
Kim Dokja : ..well, apart from you, no one can move the wind freely.
Cale : Oh..
Kim Dokja: Among other species, only those who possess the Imyuntar Protection Symbol can learn this skill.
Cale: ..
Kim Dokja : Ahem... what if you try to learn lat-
Cale : Do you want to die?
Kim Dokja : ..I haven't said anything, Cale. ]
+
Kim Dokja sighed again, it would be great if Cale could help too. Kim Dokja doesn't know if Cale can learn it, but it would be good if Cale could learn it too, right? Besides, that kid has a strange thing that makes any race tame to him. Like Dokkaebi or constellations who are his fans.
By the way, Yoo Joonghyuk was originally scheduled to get this but not this time. Kim Dokja can't give a strong person all kinds of good skills, after all Kim Dokja also doesn't have any attack abilities. This skill will be useful later.
"Then I'll start.
Sooyoung took her eyes off Kim Dokja and approached Cale.
"By the way Cale."
"Hm?"
"You really appeared from the sky?"
"Do I look like I'm lying?"
"Well... that's not it... are there any injuries?"
"There isn't any."
Sooyoung sat next to Cale.
"But how was that Lycaon immediately tame to you? You don't know, that man immediately cursed when he saw us. He even said that we were lower than kobolds."
Cale raised his eyebrows in amusement.
"Is it true?"
"That's true! Therefore, how can that be?"
Sooyoung asked while playing with Cale's hair.
"I have damn...attributes.."
"?"
"Anyway, that attribute makes many races like me."
"Isn't that like cheating? Could you learn from that guy if you asked?"
"Who knows."
"Do you also have attributes related to dragons?"
Cale noticed that message wasn't showing up and let out a sigh of relief, he had forgotten that he had told constellations that he couldn't see his status.
It would be annoying if constellations wondered. It seemed like they were busy looking at Kim Dokja as usual. Bihyung is the best.
Besides.. that damn status window isn't a good thing.
"Yes."
"Crazy!! Cool!! What else?"
"Don't ask."
Cale said with a sullen face.
"Stingy."
[Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' asks, aren't you unable to see your status window?]
right.. I forgot this one.
"Can... but it's all just nonsense. A lot of it is just hoaxes and isn't true."
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' say everything is the truth]
"Shut your mouth you bastard god."
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' sad]
Cale ignored the death god who continued to whine.
"..are you talking to constellation..?"
"En."
"You cursed him..?"
"You want to join in cursing?"
[The constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' sits in the corner super duper sad]
Sooyoung stared blankly at indirect message that suddenly appeared in front of her.
"..this..is your sponsor?"
"Just an asshole. And stop talking shit to the others, dammit."
[Constellation 'Ruller of Fantasy' closes his eyes with a sigh]
[Constellation 'Secretive Plotter' chuckles]
"...this constellation is interesting..."
Sooyoung muttered, still looking at the indirect message strangely.
The next three hours.
Cale and Sooyoung spread out the cloth and sat on the ground while drinking tea and eating cookies. The two of them casually watched Kim Dokja struggling hard.
"He sucks."
"Hm.."
"I don't think he's talented, Cale."
"Everyone has their own talents."
"It would be better if he let the others learn."
"Is that possible?"
"..I don't know."
"Let's just wait, it's only been 3 hours."
"Hmm, I think you're right..."
Another hour passed.
"Hoaaamm...did Kim Dokja succeed?"
Cale shook his head at Sooyoung's question, that girl rubbed her sleepy eyes after unconsciously falling asleep.
Kim Dokja also glanced at the two people who were very relaxed with a slight frown. He fought hard here and they are very relaxed, right? It's okay if Cale is, after all he's just a kid and he can often faint if he's too tired, but what's with that plagiarist? That bastard seemed to be very happy eating and drinking while pulling Cale's cheeks.
What Kim Dokja meant was... hey, he wants to try it too, okay?!
Cale always looked at him like he was looking at a dead object whenever he just wanted to pull his cheeks, not to mention his uncle who looked like he was going to split him in half every time he moved his hand...
This world is always unfair...
“Protector. I'm sorry to say this but…”
Kim Dokja shifted his gaze from the two people to Lycaon, that wolf had a doubtful face.
Kim Dokja took a tired breath and asked.
“What? It's over?”
"Not that..."
"...Then what did I do wrong?"
"Specifically..."
"Don't drag it and tell me quickly."
"That's all wrong."
It was so sincere, that Kim Dokja sat down as if he had received a nuclear blow. Kim Dokja breathed roughly and looked up at the sky sadly.
The world is unfair...
-Tuk
"Hm?"
Kim Dokja looked down and saw the wind arriving, delivering a flask of water.
"Ah... thank you wind... thank you Cale."
Cale waved his strange whip from afar and nodded. Kim Dokja thanked the wind because Cale's wind was like alive and Cale also said that it was his friend.
"This is great, there are creatures made of wind. Is that a wind god..?"
Kim Dokja ignored Lycaon's muttering and drank the water. Lemon tea, it seems like Cale really likes lemons, right? Anyway, Kim Dokja can finally breathe a little easier, this tea is very refreshing.
Putting down the flask of tea, Kim Dokja looked back at the sky. The Great Hall floating in the sky seemed even bigger. It seemed like it was mocking him...
Lycaon who looked up at the wind, which was flying around the cute red human, looked back at Kim Dokja. And Kim Dokja also looked at Lycaon with a sad face as if he knew what that wolf would say.
He hoped it wasn't what he imagined.
“Protector… you don't have the qualities suitable for Way of the Wind. No, to be honest, you don't have qualities for almost any skill.”
+
[Kim Dokja: Fuck...
Cale : ?
Kim Dokja : If this goes wrong, the world will perish because of me.
Cale : ... ]
