Ice Dragon Iberkina.
She recently woke up from a long sleep.
[I'm hungry...]
Grrr.
The first thing Iberkina did after waking from a 500-year slumber was to fill her empty stomach.
One of the Ice Troll tribes residing in the Roselle Mountains vanished into her mouth that day.
Having filled her stomach after 500 years Iberkina spent her ti rolling around in her lair.
Grrr.
[...Food.]
It was one of those rare days when she just lounged around, filled her stomach, and stared blankly, continuing her leisurely life.
─Krr, they say this is the habitat of Iberkina.
─Creak, how on earth are we supposed to find Iberkina's lair in this vast tundra?
As Iberkina waddled around the mountain, she suddenly heard soone talking about her.
From the place where the sound was heard, bipedal lizards were passing through the snow-covered mountain path.
From armor to spears, there were about thirty lizardn ard with weapons.
─Creak, what if I find her but she's not sleeping?
─Don't worry, grr. They say Iberkina has entered a state of dormancy. It is said that she hasn't been seen in the last few hundred years.
There were occasionally those kinds of guys.
Thieves targeting the treasure left in the empty lair after the dragon moved out or fell asleep.
"Snore, I'll rest here for a bit..."
"Brun?"
When the colleague stopped talking, the lizardman colleague, who had a puzzled expression, also fell silent.
"...."
"...."
A gigantic white dragon was blinking its large eyes in front of them.
The frozen lizardn reacted belatedly.
"...Kuh, kuh?! Th, the dragon!!"
"Run away...!"
"Ahhh!"
The lizardn, panicked and scattering in all directions.
Iberkina just stared blankly at them.
She wasn't foolish enough to waste her energy chasing after the lizardn one by one, who wouldn't even fill her stomach if she ate them.
At that mont, Iberkina turned her body to explore the new beast tribe.
As she turned around, the items left behind by the lizardn suddenly caught her eye.
The place her gaze was directed at was a thick book lying in the snowfield.
[Fioré Mythology Beast Compendium - July Issue]
The cover of the book, which was written like that, had a stunningly beautiful white dragon engraved on it.
A white light emanated from Iberkina's body as she realized that it was herself.
Soon, when the light disappeared, the dragon's massive body was no longer there.
A girl with long, pure white hair, sitting there like a doll with a blank expression.
It was Ice Dragon Iberkina.
"...?"
Iberkina, lifting the grimoire, turned the pages with a curious expression.
And.
"!"
The girl's white pupils widened in surprise.
[The Ultimate Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon Iberkina]
What was depicted there was a massive yet beautiful dragon with three heads.

Acquisition condition – Can be summoned at the White Tower after collecting three copies of the Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon.
*
"...Three copies?"
The girl's small head tilted to the side.

Kobe was an ordinary young man living in the capital of the Fioré Kingdom.
Helping with his parents' inn was Kobe's daily routine.
One day, Kobe had a dream.
"Are you going to buy that Beast Bread again?"
"...I'll be back soon."
Leaving behind his mother's sharp gaze, Kobe grabbed his beast compendium and ran to the park.
"Oh, is Kobe here?"
"Yes, how are you, sir?"
"How can I be fine? I'm struggling again today. It's already the tenth Goblin copy."
"Haha, sothing good will co out soon."
Kobe greeted the people gathered in the park.
─I'm buying Aldrich!
─Looking for soone to exchange the July and August issues of Beast Compendium!
In various parts of the park, lizardn and humans were chatting while eating Beast Bread.
They were all people who collected stickers like Kobe.
Kobe sat on the shaded bench and opened the compendium he had brought.
It was the latest Beast Compendium for August, featuring the Milk Angel Lilith on the cover.
When he opened the compendium, the pages were filled with the beasts that Kobe had collected.
Kobe felt a sense of pride as he looked at the beasts he had collected.
He felt a sense of fulfillnt every ti a new beast was added to his collection.
Collecting talismans ticulously had beco Kobe's recent hobby.
"I've collected 48 types, soon it will be 50 types!"
The number of beasts listed in the Beast Compendium was a total of 1,036 species.
You had to collect all of them to complete the Compendium and earn the title of Beast Master.
Beast Master!
Just hearing it makes my heart race.
The Beast Master who conquered the Fioré Myth was indeed the dream that Kobe aspired to achieve.
"Excuse , could I please have so white milk and three Beast Breads?"
"Grh, got it."
Kobe, who bought white milk and Beast Bread from the Lizardman selling goods in the park, sat on a bench and had a late lunch.
White milk with Beast Bread was Kobe's favorite combination.
"I never get tired of eating it, no matter how many tis."
Thinking that sweet cream bread and white milk are the perfect match, Kobe finished his al in a good mood.
The remaining Beast Bread was handed over to the priest who receives bread donations in the park.
Kobe opened the three sticker packs that ca out like that with a pounding heart.
Poo-♬
"The first card is a dud."
Koby, who drew a cowardly goblin, took comfort in the fact that it was a new type and placed it in the Compendium.
However, the second sticker pack also turned out to be a dud.
Thief Goblin.
Koby, who drew goblins consecutively, shook his head.
Today was an unlucky day.
"Please be rare, please be rare."
At that mont, as I prayed and was about to tear off the last pack.
Bababababam! Bam bam bam! Bamparabarabarabam!
A loud lody burst forth from one side of the park.
"R-rare!"
"Clap, clap! Impressive!"
People flocked to the appearance of the epic-level sticker.
"What did you draw?!"
"Krrk! It's the Fla of Crimson Lotus."
"R-Riz Amon!"
What erged was the Fla of Crimson Lotus, Fire Wyvern Riz Amon.
"Wow, that sounds great."
Kobe was envious, but he wasn't jealous.
No wonder, the one who summoned Riz Amon was a Lizardman, famous for buying dozens of Beast Breads every day.
He was an exemplary parishioner who had his na recognized for donating a lot of bread to the church.
Right now, the amount he donated to the church was far greater than the value of Riz Amon.
He has accumulated a lot of virtue and received the blessing of Heaven...
The priest in the park was blessing such a lizardman.
Kobe looked at the last remaining sticker, feeling strangely that he wasn't envious at all.
"Please, just one rare one."
Although he doesn't usually donate, hoping for at least one rare item, Kobe opened the sticker pack.
But.
Bababababam! Bam bam bam! Bamparabarabarabam! Bam bam bam bam bam! Bam bam bam bam bam bam!
"?!!"
A huge lody that was almost painful to the ears burst forth explosively.
The people in the park all turned their heads at once.
The lizardman and the priest, who were receiving blessings, also looked towards the place where the lody was coming from.
Bababababam! Bam bam bam! Bamparabarabarabam! Bam bam bam bam bam! Bam bam bam bam bam bam!
The lody was flowing from the pack he held in his hand.
Kobe's eyes widened as if they were about to pop out when he checked the sticker.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Permafrost with a blanket of pure white snow, imbued with coldness.
In a space where a blizzard was raging, a massive ice dragon was roaring.
"Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon!!"
At the scream-like cry, everyone rushed towards Kobe.
"Is, is that Iberkina?!"
"Crazy, seriously!"
It was when everyone was in an uproar over the unbelievable miracle.
"Crunch! Get out of the way! Everyone, get out of the way! Grrr!"
Pushing through the crowd, a red lizardman approached Kobe.
It was the lizardman who had just summoned Riz Amon.
"That Iberkina, sell it to ! Grrr!"
With his long, slit yellow eyes glistening, the lizardman presented the amount.
"Crack, I'll give you three million gold!"
"Four, four, three hundred!"
Kobe was so surprised he almost fainted.
If it were three million gold, it was a fortune that even three generations could spend lavishly and still have plenty left over.
However, Kobe hesitated to hand over the Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon.
Beast Master?
Such things were already out of Kobe's mind.
However, I had no intention of handing over Iberkina to the Lizardman.
That makes sense.
"...I heard it was sold for 5 million gold at the auction house."
"Grumble! So, you an you're not going to sell it!"
"Yes, yes! Ah, I won't sell it."
The lizardman threatened by spewing flas, but Kobe, with a pale face, said everything he had to say.
You want to sell sothing that was bought for 5 million gold for 3 million gold?
Since Kobe had so experience in making money, he had no intention of making a deal that would result in a loss of 2 million gold.
And.
"Oh, oh, even if it's five million gold, ah, I won't sell it!"
No matter how much the lizardman offered, Kobe had no intention of selling.
"The value of the Ice Dragon will keep rising."
In Kobe's view, the popularity of Beast Bread was just beginning.
As Beast Bread becos more famous, the value of the Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon Iberkina will continue to rise in the future.
Selling such treasures in the early days was a foolish thing to do.
Of course, it could have been life-threatening, but Kobe had his own thoughts on the matter.
'Let's propose a 10% profit and leave it with the Kingdom Bank.'
If you said you would share the profits with the country, no one could touch you.
'You have to endure for at least three years.'
The lizardman kept raising his offer, but Kobe covered his ears.
It was at that ti.
Plod, plod.
Through the noisy hall, an oddly clear sound of footsteps echoed.
A girl with pure white hair was walking towards Kobe.
"Wow. Beautiful."
Looking at the doll-like, expressionless girl, Kobe couldn't help but admire her.
It was as if the girl had been sculpted by the hands of a god; one could find no flaw in her.
While everyone was surprised, the white-haired girl approached the place where Koby and the lizardman were confronting each other.
"Grumble! Who are you!"
The lizardman bared its teeth and threatened, but the girl didn't even look at him.
She opened her mouth, gazing solely at Kobe.
"...That, ...sell it to ."
"W-why would I-"
Kobe's words, which were about to be a refusal, suddenly changed.
"I will sell it."
"...Yeah. Thank you."
The girl handed over the platinum coin she was holding and received a sticker in return.
The founding coin of the Fioré Kingdom.
The platinum coin, which starts at a base of ten million gold, was the item the girl handed over to Kobe.
Everyone looked at the girl taking the Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon Iberkina with astonished eyes.
And at that mont.
"Ugh!"
"Uh, it's gone?!"
In front of everyone, the girl disappeared from the spot.
"Great, Grand Wizard!"
It was the mont when the rumor spread throughout the Fioré Kingdom that a great sorcerer had appeared and bought the Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon.
*
The one who appeared in the square of the Fioré Kingdom and bought the Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon was none other than Iberkina.
"...Two more copies."
As Iberkina inserted the sticker she had drawn into the compendium, she wore a proud smile.
[The Ultimate Blue-Eyed Ice Dragon Iberkina]
The goal of Iberkina was to create that three-headed dragon.
"Are you here to send off again today?"
"...Yeah."
anwhile, Iberkina ca to the mail reception office.
It was to send the daily request for the correction of the beast compendium.
"...Because I didn't get a reply."
"What kind of jerk doesn't reply to our cute little custor's ssage?"
The postman who patted Iberkina's head put a Sunkist in her mouth.
After sending the letter, Iberkina lounged around in her lair for a while.
"...No response."
Iberkina requested a correction for the Beast Compendium no less than four tis.
The habitat and age are wrong.
But as always, there was no response.
The cheeks of Iberkina, who was lying face down in the form of a girl, were puffed up.
Suddenly, a mountain of Beast Bread caught the eye of the sulking Iberkina.
"Haaaa."
The hundreds of Beast Breads that had been piled up disappeared in an instant.
