Episode 11. Time passes by (3)
Lois, perhaps aware of Finn’s offensive gaze, patted her shoulder like she was shaking off dust.
“… I thought so.”
Once this improbable death flag was triggered, we couldn’t let down our guard.
It wasn’t the first time I experienced it.
Therefore, Lois was the first to begin learning how to protect herself.
‘I think starting the sacred law first was the right choice.’
The corners of Lois’ mouth rose slightly.
The original world view of Lois’ possession was a bit unique.
Rather than solving everything with mana like in common novels, you could only learn skills in that branch according to your innate attributes.
For example, if you are born with the fire attribute, you can only learn sacred or martial methods based on it.
Therefore, there are only four types of sacred techniques that Royce can learn: time, space, force, and mental attributes.
Among them, the type of technology that was perfectly suited to Lois’ current situation was the spatial distortion field.
A technique that spreads space distortion over a certain range and distorts all external blows.
In other words, the point of the space distortion field was to let it flow, not block it.
If her level deepens and her elemental power increases, Royce will not be harmed by any attack from the outside.
‘Well, right now we’re at the level of preventing lightning strikes like this, but… This means that even if a nuclear bomb explodes right in front of you, you will still be fine.’
Royce was satisfied with her choice of spatial attribute over other attributes.
“Phew… “I’m not good at studying.”
Lois, whose concentration was broken by the lightning, closed her book and closed her eyes.
He contemplated his own body.
My heart flutters-.
The sound of my heart beating loudly rings loudly in my ears.
I could feel the energy conveyed along with the heartbeat in detail.
Ji-ing-.
The four energies, large and small, residing in Royce’s heart made their presence known as if they were pampering her.
‘It looks like spatial properties will soon enter Tier 2.’
Royce is on the verge of surpassing Tier 3 just 10 years after starting to learn the attributes.
It was a speed that would have been shocking to others, but I was not satisfied with it.
‘Time and Power are Tier 4, are Spirits still Tier 5?’
As we focused on spatial attributes for survival, the level of time and power attributes dropped.
And more than anything, Lois seemed dissatisfied with the difficulty of mental attributes.
‘The laws of physics are somehow solved by recalling basic common sense, but… How on earth should we study the mental state of living things?’
Mental properties were unknown territory for Lois.
But Lois was not impatient.
‘Now, the small death flag will block the space distortion field, and I’ve regained my human form after a long time, so I should make good use of it.’
Royce, who had grown dramatically after the first sleep and growth period, was able to enjoy another privilege given to dragons.
Transformation.
A dragon’s unique power that allows it to transform into a completely different race while maintaining its original characteristics.
It was a concept that was the opposite of Hyeonryonghwa.
Although transformation is limited by the strengths of the dragon’s body, there were more dragons that transformed into other races and lived.
They chose the small but useful body of a different species rather than the body of a dragon that was so large that it was inconvenient for everyday life.
In addition, except for a few factors, the difference in power between transformation and Hyeonryonghwa was not that large.
And Lois, who had lived as a human for 29 years, was also more comfortable in a human body than a dragon’s body.
Of course, it still has the body of a child with all the limbs and limbs.
‘Where is this anyway?’
In fact, Lois had no complaints about her transformed body.
‘A human magic swordsman looks much better than a lizard holding a sword.’
What Royce wanted was a matchless magic swordsman who boasted the highest efficiency in interpersonal combat and war.
‘They call it Seongmusa here, right?’
A holy warrior because he practices both holy and martial law at the same time.
Lois smiled at that simple naming.
‘good! ‘Let’s start again!’
Lois, a dragon who strives to survive and dream every day.
Royce grew as quickly as the effort and time, and time passed quickly in proportion to this.

“January 13, 3205, dimensional calendar”
15 years since I started training.
The mastery of spatial attribute magic has reached tier 2.
It takes fifteen years to raise one attribute to Tier 2.
My father was delighted, saying that my achievements were unprecedentedly fast because it was difficult to raise the level of non-natural attributes.
But I wasn’t satisfied with just this much.
My life is still like a lamp in the wind.
More safety devices are needed to survive a lamp that may go out at any time.
“August 22, 3220, dimensional calendar”
It’s been 30 years since I started training.
The spatial attribute’s magic has risen to Tier 1.
Finn’s advice on spatial properties was very helpful.

However, the time and power attributes have just reached tier 3, and the mental attributes are still at tier 5 with no progress.
Out of frustration, I looked through various books and came across an interesting story.
According to legend, a time-attribute ancient dragon that has gone beyond the realm of zero can go back in time, and a mental-attribute ancient dragon is said to have controlled tens of thousands of living beings.
The moment I saw the word ‘time retrograde’, ‘that guy’ came to mind.
When will that guy show up?
Preferably… I wish I showed up late.
“August 23, 3225, dimensional calendar”
I felt like there were limits to self-studying, so I asked my father for a private tutor… I brought her grandfather.
A grandfather who reached the level of zero with unnatural strength attributes.
He’s definitely an excellent tutor… … .
For some reason, I don’t really believe it.
「Dimension Calendar February 17, 3227」
Seongbeop training is on track.
It went up very steadily.
Despite his frivolous personality, my grandfather was an excellent teacher.
… Sorry for not knowing.
“November 1, 3250, dimensional calendar”
60 years since I started training
I tried to postpone training in sacred methods, which had some success, for a while and learn martial arts.
But I ran into one problem.
My limbs are still too short.
10cm.
This is the height I grew up in over the past 60 years… … .
I felt like my growth was very slow, so I asked my father, and the answer was that my nutrition was lacking.
My body, which was born with the 4 attributes, needs more nutrients and energy than other hatchlings of its age.
Up until now, the elixirs I had been eating as snacks were twice as much as what other hatchlings were eating, but my father said that even this was not enough.
… I don’t plan on being a picky eater in the future.
“December 15, 3260, dimensional calendar”
Depressed… … .
Doesn’t grow taller
“December 16, 3260, dimensional calendar”
My father introduced me to a friend who said he helped relieve my depressed mood.
The twins living on the next peak are fraternal twin dragons born 10,000 years later.
The two twin siblings were said to have been born a month before me.
Silver hair and turquoise eyes.
The soft cheeks were quite cute.
however… Is it because of my mood that my mental age seems so low?
“September 10, 3261, dimensional calendar”
Recently, the twins from the neighboring peak often come to visit.
And I realized that their mental age was not low, but mine was too high.
The twins’ father calls me old man… … .
The twins who often came to visit were so cute that I played with them a few times.
But that was my mistake… … .
He came next to me and asked me various questions, and I kindly answered him, but now he treats me like a total intellectual.
If you ask me, will you give me an answer?
I want you to study, you guys!
“September 12, 3261, dimensional calendar”
Damn it, it came today too!
Damn twins.
“September 13, 3261, dimensional calendar”
I wish someone would please get rid of these two nuisance bastards… … .
“February 15, 3340, dimensional calendar”
I couldn’t write a diary for a while because I was bothered by the twins.
I am 250 years old.
I’ve been tormented by twins during the day and trained at night for 90 years.
After completing the first sleep period, I practiced for a total of 150 years.
Now, I feel like I have the strength to not go anywhere and get beaten up.
I have no intention of wielding this power carelessly.
… but!
There are exceptions to everything.
I swear to God.
I will use this power I developed to protect myself for my own self-interest for the first and last time in my life.
Please forgive me… … .
Okay, the prayer is over.
Annoying twins. Wash your neck and wait.
I’ll break off those hairy branches!
The kids are crazy!

It was a sunny day.
Royce woke up early in the morning and was filling her stomach with foods that were said to be good for growing taller.
He asked with slightly widened eyes as he bit into an unknown piece of meat that was said to be able to turn even a dwarf into a giant.
“Where are you going?”
“I guess I need to go to Eunhwaseong Fortress.”
“why?”
Generoker, who was cleaning up his son’s quickly empty plate, answered.
“Elder Kurdaker is retiring this time.”
“oh? “Are you that old man?”
“okay… … . And what is grandfather? To the elder.”
“All of my grandfather’s friends are grandfathers.”
“That’s true, but… … .”
One of the 13 Elder Dragons who were at the location where Royce’s attributes were determined.
He was one of the best friends of Lois’s paternal grandfather, Famus.
Generoker, unable to find anything to say to his son’s words, shook his head.
“But why is your father going to Eunhwa Castle when your grandfather is retiring?”
In response to his son’s question, the father avoided eye contact and rolled his eyes.
“Umm… … .”
“What is it?”
Generoker, feeling his son’s staring gaze, cautiously opened his mouth.
“That’s it… … .”
In response to Royce’s questioning, Generoker began to explain the situation.
“that is… This time, Elder Kurdaker is retiring and looking for a dragon to fill the void… … .”
“oh? no way?”
“okay… “This dad was recommended for the position.”
“and! congratulations!”
Upon hearing the news that Generoker would take the position of senior, Lois raised her arms high and congratulated her.
Generoker smiled, as if he felt bad about his son’s reaction.
“What are you celebrating? “It hasn’t been confirmed yet, and even if it is, it’s a position that requires me to work every day.”
“But there is no dragon who became an elder at your father’s age, right?”
“Big. “That’s right.”
Generoker was in a good mood at the positive reaction of his son, whom he had seen for the first time in a while, and showed a shy expression.
“Hey! My dad is super talented! “I have to brag to the twins!”
“Uh, um… That’s it. Elder Dodrian is also retiring this time… “They said his twin father was also recommended for the position.”
“Tsk… “It’s not good.”
“Hmm.”
Seeing his son’s pouting expression, Generoker cleared his throat awkwardly.
Lois smiled again, showing that she didn’t like it.
“Still, I’m proud of you!”
“Kuhm! Well, then! “Who am I?”
Generoker’s shoulders went up and he pretended not to, but the corners of his mouth trembled awkwardly.
It’s holding back laughter.
Last 150 years.
Lois was not the only one who grew through training after training.
Genelocker, which had been in the top tier for a long time, has stepped into the realm of zero.
The level of zero was such that even the dragon had difficulty breaking through the wall.
However, Generoker reached the level of zero at a younger age than expected, being 4,000 years old.
‘Well, this is enough to be called the final villain of Part 1.’
In the original work, Generoker, the bright dragon that devastated the continent, had the two attributes of darkness and magic at zero levels.
Saint and demon.
Because it had completely different properties from Manawa, it was classified as a different type.
Generoker, whose entire body was dyed black with the attributes of cancer and the devil, could truly be called the second coming of the devil.
‘But that won’t happen this time.’
There were still minor death flags, but they did not pose much of a threat to Lois.
‘Now I won’t have to go anywhere and die in an awkward manner.’
Lois felt proud as she recalled the past 150 years of training.
The father and son look at each other and smile softly.
But even for a moment, Generoker’s face darkened.
He said in a dying voice.
“That’s why. Lois… … .”
“why?”
“Hmm… … .”
“What is it?”
Generoker opened his mouth, looking at Lois who narrowed her eyes as if she had nothing to say.
“That’s it… … .”
