TL: Hanguk
“Supplent?”
Sejun examined the red apple that Flamie handed him.
[Fire Apple]
???
“Fire Apple?”
Strangely, there were no other options displayed.
Even when he stared intently at the apple hoping for his to activate, there was no change.
As he continued to inspect the apple,
Osooso.
A strange energy transmitted through his hand, sending chills down Sejun’s spine.
True to its na, the Fire Apple emanated a warm energy. However, rather than leaving behind pain or discomfort, it left a cool and refreshing sensation.
What is this?
Sejun instinctively recognized that this apple was extraordinary.
[Hehe. Sejun~nim, hurry up and eat! It’s good for your body!]
Seeing Sejun hesitate, Flamie urged him.
Thinking too much leads to hesitation, and hesitation leads to missed opportunities.
Though Flamie was smiling, her voice carried an undeniable force that left no room for refusal.
Thanks to that, Sejun gained confidence.
Yeah. I trust my Flamie!
Crunch.
With determination, Sejun took a big bite of the apple.
Delicious!
Every bite released a burst of sweet and tangy juice, filling his mouth with joy.
Crunch, crunch.
In no ti, he finished the entire apple.
“Ah. Guys, I ate it all by myse-”
Just as he was about to apologize to his companions who were staring at him intensely with expectant eyes for eating the whole apple
[You have consud a Fire Apple.]
[All stat potentials increase by 10,000.]
[All stats increase by 1,000.]
[Blessing of the Sacred Fire burns away impurities in your body.]
“Ugh!”
Along with the ssage, a hot sensation surged from his chest and began spreading throughout his entire body.
And then
“Uwoooooh!”
As the heat rose from his chest, he exhaled it through his mouth, spewing flas.
Compared to a dragon’s breath, it was nothing more than a tiny flicker, but the fire Sejun released instantly reduced a 33000 square ters of field to ashes. 𝔯àƝỐ𐌱Ёś
Whooosh.
At the sa ti, Sejun’s clothes and even his body caught fire.
However
Huh?! It feels… cool?
Rather than pain, Sejun felt an even greater refreshing sensation as his body burned,
…
And then he lost consciousness.
Fortunately, high-grade items like the Dragon Horn’s Return Bracelet remained intact, unscathed by the flas.
Kking! Kking!
104.28.193.250
[Butler! You can’t die! The great Blackie will save you!]
Blackie rushed toward Sejun to extinguish the flas.
But
Kking?
Kueng!
[You shouldn’t disturb Dad!]
Cuengi used telekinesis to hold Blackie back.
anwhile
Whoooosh.
Sejun’s body was completely consud by fire, leaving only dragon bones behind.
No, to be exact, the Heart of Dark, the God of Darkness, the Divine Blood, and the Super Sunfish Dual Core in his dantian also remained.
Other than that, everything else of Sejun had burned away.
[Hehe. It worked.]
“Puhuhut. That’s right, ow! It was a success, ow!”
[The Tower’s Administrator says she was anxious, worrying whether Sejun would try to appraise the item.]
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Cuengi was also worried about how to refuse if Dad offered the apple!]
Aileen, Theo, Flamie, and Cuengi all looked at Sejun with relief.
In truth, Sejun had a major issue.
These three Powers were the problem.
Normally, dragons, gods, and divine beasts are born with innate Powers, aning their bodies are naturally optimized for them.
However, Sejun had acquired these Powers later in life, and his body was completely ordinary. Managing three different Powers with distinct properties was no easy feat.
Because of this, these Powers constantly fought for dominance inside Sejun’s body whenever they had the chance, causing his body to creak and strain.
Theo had been acting as the diator in this struggle.
Theo’s ugly word carried multiple anings, one of which was the struggle of Sejun’s body as his Powers clashed for dominance.
Of course, there was no real need to step on Sejun’s face, but
Puhuhut. Great Hybrid Chairman Park’s face is just so tempting to step on, ow!
That was just Theo’s preference.
As Sejun’s companions kept watch over him,
The flas that had burned him now spread around his bones, heart, and core, forming new organs, muscles, and veins.
At last, Sejun was being reborn into a body better optimized for his Powers.
Whoooosh.
As Sejun’s body gradually took shape,
“ow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, shall protect the great hybrid Chairman Park’s privacy, ow!”
Bang! Bang!
Theo began placing Creator God’s Tablets around Sejun to shield his naked body.
[That’s right! Cuengi, hurry and help cover too!]
Kueng!
Flamie agreed with Theo and shouted at Cuengi.
Once eight Creator God’s Tablets had completely covered Sejun,
Ah. Why are you blocking it?!
Aileen, watching through the crystal orb, groaned in disappointnt.
The Creator God’s Tablets could block the Administrator’s view.
Kking! Kking! Kihihit.
[Cover butler quickly! Our butler might die of sha later! He’s a sunfish, after all! Hehe.]
Blackie barked excitedly, teasing Sejun.
Crack.
The muscles on Sejun’s forehead twitched slightly, but Blackie failed to notice.
A mont later
[The Tower’s Administrator says the dragon bones seem to have fully settled now.]
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, you’re much less ugly now, ow!”
[Hehe. Sejun~nim, now you can live at least 500 more years!]
Kueng!
[Dad, you’re healthy now!]
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. Butler, you did well! Now we can grow the core more!]
As the group chatted while watching Sejun, who was now resting under a blanket,
The old year ca to an end, and a new year began.
Hehe. I should make more supplents for Sejun~nim!
Park Flamie, the filial daughter of fire attribute, made her New Year’s resolution while looking at Sejun.
[Hooray!]
[Hooray!]
Podori and Sausage, who gained a nutritional supplent comrade, cheered in excitent. It was truly a wonderful New Year’s gift.
At that mont
Kueng! Kueng!
[Cuengi is going to sleep now! Dad, sleep well!]
Cuengi kissed Sejun’s cheek and left the house.
However, instead of heading straight to Pink-fur,
Step.
Cuengi stood in the middle of the burned field left behind by Sejun.
Then
Whoooosh.
A massive fla erupted from Cuengi’s body.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Now Cuengi can use fire just like Dad!]
Cuengi, a filial son, gleefully copied Sejun’s newly acquired ability.
Kueoeoeng…
Pink-fur watched Cuengi from afar with a sad expression.
The night grew deeper along with Pink-fur’s sadness.
***
The Next Morning.
“Ugh… Huh?!”
As Sejun woke up, he felt his bare skin against the blanket and hurriedly lifted it.
And then
Why am I completely naked?
He tried recalling his last mory from yesterday.
“I definitely ate the apple that Flamie gave …”
Ah. Did I pass out again?
Sejun accepted it like it was no big deal.
He had fainted so many tis before that it didn’t even feel surprising anymore. In fact, this ti was much better than usual, at least he passed out without any pain.
Thinking back on the events of the previous day, Sejun slowly checked the notifications he hadn’t seen yet.
[You have received the Blessing of the Sacred Fire, and your body is being reconstructed.]
[Your original has been reconstructed through the Blessing of the Sacred Fire.]
[You have been granted .]
[You have acquired .]
“Oh.”
A new Power and a Title?!
Sejun quickly checked their details.
– As the na suggests, you possess an exceptionally strong body.
– Even if you receive fatal damage, you won’t be injured as long as you have magic power and life force.
– Your hardened skin greatly reduces damage.
– Subdues all Powers below Transcendence grade.
– All stat potentials 20,000
– All stats 1,500
– Since you were reborn from flas, you cannot be hard by fire.
– You can regenerate your body using the power of fire.
“Wow.”
Amazed, Sejun couldn’t help but let out a gasp.
The effects of the Power and Title were incredible.
This is too much…
Just from eating the Fire Apple, all his stat potentials increased by 10,000 and his stats by 1,000. But on top of that, these new Power and Title effects were even better.
A feeling of guilt started creeping up.
She definitely intended for us to share the apple, but I ate the whole thing myself…
He felt especially guilty toward Flamie.
At that mont,
[Hehe. Sejun~nim, you’re awake?]
Flamie entered the bedroom, smiling brightly.
“…Yeah. Flamie, I’m sorry I ate the whole apple.”
Sejun apologized, watching Flamie’s reaction carefully.
Flamie had never gotten mad before, but that made him even more nervous.
Then
[Hehe. It’s okay! There are plenty of apples! Since you overexerted yourself yesterday, eat this one a month later!]
Flamie pointed to an apple placed next to Sejun’s pillow, as if it had been there all along.
She had prepared plenty in advance to gradually drain her energy.
“…Huh?!”
There’s more?!
“Then let’s eat together, Flamie. Do you want to peel it for you?”
As Sejun picked up the apple and spoke,
[No, no! That is… It wouldn’t be beneficial for to eat that apple…]
Flamie quickly stopped him.
It wasn’t a lie, an apple of that level wouldn’t help her at all.
But
“I see… Alright then. Want to go for a walk instead?”
[Hehe. Yes!]
Sejun, thinking Flamie might be too weak for it to help, didn’t press further.
Instead, he picked Theo, Flamie, and the Blackie Family and headed outside.
A Little Later.
“I’ll be cutting garaetteok, so you all go play outside and don’t shed fur or dust inside.”
“ow?! No way, ow! I, Vice Chairman Theo, do not shed fur, ow!”
Theo imdiately objected, puffing up his chest.
Because of his Talent: Strong Hair, he never shed fur.
[Hehe. I don’t have fur either!]
Flamie, who normally listened well, sided with Theo, reluctant to leave Sejun’s side.
Kueng!
[Cuengi doesn’t shed fur either!]
Cuengi joined in.
Kking! Kking!
[I’m staying with my hyungs! I’m not leaving!]
Blackie barked assertively.
“…Then Blackie would stay inside too, right? Just go outside and play together nicely.”
While I’m asking nicely.
But when he narrowed his eyes and glared at Theo,
“Puhuhut. Alright, ow!”
[Hehe. Okay!]
Kueng!
Kking!
The group went outside to play while Sejun stayed in the kitchen, stacking garaetteok and slicing them diagonally.
Since today was the first day of the new year, he planned to make tteokguk. (TL: Tteokguk is sliced rice cake soup which is a traditional dish eaten mostly during the celebration of Korean New Year)
Hehehe. So, does this an Master Bo is now entering his 301st year of being single?
Excited about teasing Bochi later, Sejun grinned to himself.
As he continued slicing the rice cakes, he also took the fish bones out of the pot where he had been simring a broth and added seaweed, letting it boil together.
Once the broth turned a rich, milky white, he tossed in the rice cakes.
“Mmm. Nice.”
He seasoned it with soy sauce and salt, then finely chopped green onions and stir-fried egg garnish and sli at to use as toppings for the soup.
“It’s a sha I don’t have any dried seaweed…”
I should find so seaweed.
While making this New Year’s resolution to find dried seaweed, the tteokguk was ready.
“Guys, it’s ti for breakfast! Master Bo, co eat!”
Sejun called out to his companions.
Then
“Aileen, here’s your tteokguk. I added extra at toppings just for you, as much as my feelings for you.”
Hehehe.
He sent Aileen a bowl loaded with extra at.
[The Tower’s Administrator says that doesn’t seem like enough love.]
“Aileen, if I add any more at, it’ll not be tteokguk anymore, it’ll be just stir-fried at.”
As Sejun defended himself against accusations of lacking love,
“Puhuhut. Chairman Park, hurry up and give my grilled fish, ow!”
[Hehe. Sejun~nim, I’d like so water, please.]
Kueng!
Kking!
The group rushed inside the kitchen and quickly took their seats at the table.
Ppyak.
[I trained so hard that I feel like my stomach is stuck to my back.]
Master Bo, who had spent the night training intensely with Sejun No. 3, entered while rubbing his round belly.
Thanks to that, Sejun’s swordsmanship skill had reached Beginner Aura Swordsmanship Lv. 7.
After breakfast
“Hehehe. Master Bo, congratulations on becoming a 301-year-old single!”
Ppyak?! Ppyak!
[301 years single?! What are you talking about?! My birthday hasn’t passed yet!]
“Nope. In Korea, you age by one year once the New Year starts.”
While Sejun, who didn’t know the Korean law had changed, was having fun teasing Bochi
anwhile, in the Land of Destruction.
“Help …!”
In the dark abyss, soone was desperately calling for help.
