Episode 7. In the blink of an eye (1)
Omul omul-.
Royce eats a snack like a squirrel, with both cheeks full.
Generoker looked at this with satisfaction.
Wagjag-.
As I put the blue ice crystals in my mouth and chewed them, the coolness of frozen fruit juice filled my mouth.
“Eng oheo? (What is this?)”
“Ramus, a fruit grown in the cold North Sea region. It’s especially delicious when eaten in hot summer. “There is a lot, so eat a lot!”
It was the moment when Ramus fruit, known as the elixir of heaven to those who practice water properties, turned into a snack for a mere young dragon.
And it wasn’t just Ramus.
‘It’s chewy?’
From the stem of Heatogen, which greatly improves the wood properties.
‘Is it cotton candy?’
A sky jellyfish with wind properties.
‘Is this spicy?’
Even the heart of a ptarmigan is said to build brain energy just by keeping it near you.
Lois was casually snacking on elixirs that ordinary beings would never even see before they die.
However, not everyone could take elixirs at will like Lois.
If you ingest miscellaneous elixirs without preparation, your body would burst without being able to overcome the energy contained in the elixir.
But Lois’s heart made such binge eating possible.
Dragon Heart.
The best permanent organ that replaces Mother Nature’s mana with attributes.
Dragon Heart helps the dragon grow by replacing the energy of an elixir with already determined properties with the owner’s innate properties.
Prospective dragon parents who know this fact spend a long time collecting elixirs for their future children.
“Is it delicious?”
“yes!”
“Eat a lot!”
“huh!”
The elixir that Lois is currently taking was something that Generoker and his wife had been collecting for a long time for their unborn child.
A slight worry appeared on Generoker’s face as he looked at his son enjoying the elixir.
‘If I had known that I would be born with quadruple attributes, I would have prepared more… … .’
Since she has many innate attributes, Lois’ body will need more energy.
No one could have predicted how much elixir Royce, who was born with quadruple attributes for the first time in history, would need to grow.
‘I said my father would help me, but I guess I’ll have to go get the elixir sooner or later.’
Even for a dragon, obtaining an elixir was not easy.
However, Lois, who ate so well, was so pretty that such concerns were quickly forgotten.
By the time Lois had finished half of the snacks on her tray.
Lois’s hands, which had been moving ceaselessly, slowed down.
Nod nod-.
Lois’ head shook back and forth as she stuffed the elixir snack into her mouth.
Both eyes are already half closed.
“Haha!”
A smile that couldn’t be hidden spread across Generoker’s lips.
This is because the sight of Lois dozing off while eating was so cute.
Tuk-.
Lois dropped what she was eating and fell into dreamland.
Generoker, with a smile on his face, picked up Lois and laid her on the bed.
Generoker gave Lois, who was sleeping, a large rabbit doll made of fur, stroked her son’s head once, and quietly left the room.
It’s easy~.
Soon, only Lois’ even breathing echoed quietly in the dark room.
* * *
The time when Lois fell asleep.
Something strange occurred in Lois’ room.
A small dot appeared in the empty space where nothing existed.
The dot in the air began to move slowly.
Lines were created along the moving dot without any sound, and the lines continued to take on a specific shape.
A strange phenomenon, as if someone were drawing with a pen in empty space.
The line was drawn very slowly, and after a long time had passed, what appeared in its place was a fork-shaped figure.
The result could not have been more absurd considering the time wasted.
But something surprising happened next.
Slurp-.
At some point, the 2D picture of a small fork made up of black lines turned into a real fork.
chin-.
The fork that was created was stuck vertically in Royce’s room.
It didn’t end there, and the black dot that appeared in the air began to move again.
The place where the black dot is heading is the bed where Lois sleeps.
Ssuk seu-.
The black dot against the sleeping rabbit doll that Lois was hugging began to move busily.

It’s easy~.
Lois, who was deeply asleep, did not notice the strange phenomenon occurring around her.
* * *
“… “When did you fall asleep?”
Lois sat blankly holding a white rabbit doll in her arms.
I woke up, but my head was so dizzy.
Additionally, I had no memory of yesterday.
I couldn’t remember when I fell asleep.
Lois tilted her head.
“Did you fall asleep while eating a snack?”
The moment when he was thinking deeply about the time when he was asleep.
Growling-.
Lois’ stomach rumbled.
“… hungry.”
Lois’s body, which was in the prime of growth, constantly required nutrients.
Lois, who had a rabbit doll on one side, got out of bed.
At that moment, a loud voice was heard.
“Lois, if you wake up, let’s eat!”
“yes! “I’ll be there soon!”
Lois responded without delay to the hunger she felt as soon as she woke up.
It was that moment when he quickly crawled out of the room.
“Pyeong!”
Lois fell down with the feeling of something pulling her tail.
“Ah.”
He rolled around on the floor and rubbed his bumped chin.
Then, when he saw the object in front of him, his expression hardened.
“… … .”
There was a fork about 10cm in front of where Royce fell.
That is, a fork that is stuck vertically in the ground with the pointy part facing upward.
Lois stood up and picked up a fork.
He muttered as if it were absurd.
“… “Now you’re going to put up this absurd death flag?”
If he had been thrown a little further forward, his head would have been pierced by the fork.
What are the odds that a fork will be standing vertically where you stepped on its tail?
“Where on earth did you sell probability?”
Lois, who was grumbling, threw away her fork as if it was no big deal.
Lois, who had been exposed to the danger of death so much, had now turned into a calm person.
He looked at his tail.
“… “What is this again?”
Lois’ complexion hardened slightly.
White threads were tangled in his tail scales.
Lois’ eyes followed the thread, and it wasn’t long before she realized what it was.
“Ugh! Toto!”
The rabbit doll that had been Lois’s punching bag and cushion after her reincarnation was hanging on the bed railing and shaking.
Lois hurriedly ran over and picked up the rabbit doll.
The doll’s fur had come loose and its lower body was missing.
How much comfort did I receive from confiding to Toto my concerns that I could not confide in during the continued suffering after my reincarnation.
Lois gave a sad look at the doll that had been her confidant for so long.
“I have to ask my father to fix it…” … .”
He relaxed his frozen face and moved to eat.
Holding tightly to the ears of a rabbit doll with loose fur.
* * *
A few days after that.
“… Strange.”
Lois was deep in thought with a serious expression on her face.
Lois thought back on her condition over the past few days.
Even when eating.
Even when reading a book.
Even when eating snacks.
When I go for a walk or wander around the rare to improve my wing strength.
Moment by moment, my memories flew by, and when I opened my eyes, I was always in bed.
“this… “Why are you doing this?”
At first, Lois thought it was just a case of sleeping too much, but when this happened repeatedly for several days, she realized the seriousness of the situation.
As he continued to worry, he eventually visited Gene Locker to find an answer.
“Father.”
“Why?”
Generoker, who was wearing an apron and preparing snacks for Lois, looked down at her son who was clutching his pants.
“Father… “There’s something strange about me.”
Hearing Lois’ sullen voice, embarrassment appeared on Generoker’s face.
He gasped and picked up Lois.
“Why why? “Where is my son hurting?”
“hmm… Does this hurt? Doesn’t it hurt? I’m falling asleep all the time… … .”
“ah!”
Hearing Royce’s story, Generoker relaxed his worried expression and smiled.
“are you okay. “It doesn’t hurt anywhere.”
“sure?”
“It’s time.”
“at the time?”
Lois’ expression looks like she doesn’t know what to say.
Generoker responded kindly.
“Our dragons have two sleeping periods to grow during their childhood.”
“… … .”
“The fact that you’ve been sleeping all the time these days is proof that your first sleep period is approaching.”
“… … .”
Lois, who was quietly listening to Generoker’s story, became pale.
Lois asked, stuttering.
“Uh, how long are you sleeping?”
“Well, there’s nothing in particular, but… On average, about a hundred years? “I could sleep better.”
Lois’ mind went blank.
What filled my blank brain was astonishment and fear.
‘Damn it!’
Lois’ mouth dropped open.
It was just a few days ago that I fell and almost got my head pierced by a fork, putting a death flag on me that was beyond probability.
But to fall asleep for 100 years without any preparation and defenseless?
‘Leave the fish to the cat! This is exactly the same as sticking your neck out and asking a f*cking idiot to hit you!’
Royce’s Yongyong is just two months old.
Yongsaeng’s worst crisis has arrived.
* * *
Lois, who barely came to her senses from shock and fear, hurriedly returned to her room.
“Ah… … .”
Lois bit the ear of the neatly repaired white rabbit doll.
His tail was constantly shaking as if it had a motor.
Crack-tap-tap-.
“It’s only been two months since I was born, but life… … . No, why are Yongsaeng’s storms so frequent? … .”
Over the past two months, Lois’ emotional graph has been rising and falling quite steeply.
The feeling that had skyrocketed upon learning that he had been reincarnated as a dragon fell to the abyss when he realized that he was a dragon born with a limited time limit.
The feeling of wandering at the bottom for a while due to the death flag being raised all the time rose again as I found the hope of talent.
The graph of that feeling plummeted again in front of a major crisis.
Lois’ current mood graph was so messed up that it seemed like the worst abyss ever.
“Dangerous… Dangerous… … .”
Lois keeps repeating ‘It’s dangerous’.
“Measures, measures are needed… … .”
Currently, Lois’s mind was as white as a sheet of paper.
I tried to think of ways to overcome my current situation, but I couldn’t come up with anything like this.
Dreaming…
“Huh!”
Meanwhile, Lois raised her head in surprise as she felt drowsy again.
He hit both his cheeks with his cotton bat-like hands.
match-.
“Come on, Lois! “If you fall asleep here, you’re headed to the goal!”
According to Generoker’s explanation, he did not know when the first period of sleep would come.
At some point, he fell asleep and then went into a sleeping state.
‘What if I fall asleep like this and get a death flag?!’
At one point, I couldn’t help but feel truly scared.
For Lois, falling asleep ‘at some point’ would be the same as dying ‘at some point’.
For Lois, sleep was the same as taking off a ventilator from a patient who was struggling to breathe.
“You must never, ever fall asleep!”
Lois was determined not to fall asleep.
But I couldn’t sleep for the rest of my life.
Because of the dragon’s setting, it was possible to survive without sleeping for several decades, but dragons were also living creatures.
No matter how powerful a being was, sleep was essential.
‘First of all, I’ll try to figure out a way to survive without sleeping as much as possible!’
A firm determination to survive.
And from that day on, Lois’ penance began.
