< Late Evening >
As I entered, I saw high ceilings and elaborate decorations. It was not fancy, but there was a sense of piety and elegance everywhere. It felt like it had been made with a lot of effort.
I walked along the carpet spread on the floor.
At the end of the road I saw an altar. On that altar was the thing I had come to find.
[Hey! Let’s go together!]
Plump Snowflake followed me. When I looked back, all the other Snowflake members were still with Snowflake.
“What about them?”
[I’m not coming because I’m scared!]
“······.”
Come to think of it, this chubby guy is pretty brave for someone with such a short temper, like the one who got into the fight by himself earlier.
The chubby-eyed boy looked around with a curious face.
[This is my first time seeing this room! It’s so amazing!]
I warned the chubby-eyed one who was about to touch the decorations in the room.
“Don’t touch anything just because it looks strange. This is usually where the last trap is triggered.”
[Eek! Got it!]
A chubby, scared Snow-Nun was right behind me. No matter how brave you are, Snow-Nun is still Snow-Nun.
The walk to the altar was not long. We soon reached the end and were able to examine the items placed on the altar.
An oval glass vial, shaped like an egg, was floating in the air above the altar. It was the size of an ostrich egg, and inside it was a golden liquid rippling.
And under the glass bottle, on the altar, there was a silver cup.
The chubby Snowy, who was hanging on my back and poking her head over my shoulder, shouted.
[What the heck! Oh my god!]
“The most delicious drink in the world.”
I reached out and grabbed the vial containing the golden liquid. I placed it on the altar, and despite the oval shape of its base, it settled down without shaking.
As I turned the top of the glass bottle, it opened with a smooth separation. In an instant, a sweet scent filled the room.
[omg···!]
“Let’s have a drink first.”
I tilted the glass bottle and poured it into the silver cup that was on the altar. As the cup filled with golden liquor, its aroma grew stronger.
[Huh!]
The chubby eyes were now on the verge of popping out. I leisurely enjoyed the gaze and lifted my glass to drink.
Gulp gulp.
A sweet and deep taste spread through my body. At the same time, the small wounds I had gotten from fighting the Snow-Nunmon began to disappear.
The official name of this liquor is
It was the best liquor recognized by experts in the seven dimensions where drinking culture exists, and it was a treasure with healing powers that rivaled the highest level potions.
The best thing about this drink is that you can keep drinking it.
Slurp.
The golden liquor in the glass bottle was slowly rising, rippling like waves.
That means I just got my hands on an infinitely generating top-tier potion bottle.
In a time when things like potions had not yet been developed.
Shh. A smile spread across my lips.
“And unlike potions, it tastes amazing. I wonder how much this would sell for per glass…”
[Hey! Me too, me too, just give me a little!]
The chubby, chubby girl shook my shoulder wildly. Her expression looked very desperate.
“Just take a taste.”
I poured the few drops of alcohol remaining in the glass into the chubby, wide-eyed boy’s mouth.
A few drops of alcohol fell and entered the chubby, snowy mouth.
[Hoooooooooo!]
The chubby snowball closed its eyes and made a strange noise, then soon began to emit a blue light from its body.
Paaaaat-!
I took a few steps back.
“Why is he acting like this all of a sudden?”
As I thought about it, something suddenly came to mind.
“···Ah, you were a water fairy.”
-Paaaaaaah!
[Huh!]
While the chubby-eyed girl was going through a strange transformation, I found a metal case under the altar and carefully packed the bottle and glass.
I felt even more proud because it was something I finally got after going through many twists and turns.
“For now, one problem has been solved.”
Let’s assume that the first disaster,
Numerous gates open at the same time on a single day. In order to deal with the countless monsters that will pour out from them, some preparations are necessary.
* Firepower to defeat monsters in a short period of time
* Measures to minimize damage to the city
* Superhuman stamina recovery and injured person care
* Special team in charge of destroying the core gate
* Others, etc.
Of course, this one small bottle of liquor wouldn’t be enough to take care of that many casualties, but fortunately, it could be used even if diluted with water.

Although the taste and effect are reduced, it can produce effects similar to those of lower-grade potions even when mixed with water at a 100:1 ratio.
It can help heal wounds quickly, restore stamina, and in the case of superhumans, help restore mana.
“···The future will change tremendously.”
The original potion appeared after the Earth and Gaia continent were connected, and items from Gaia continent were brought over to Earth.
Until then, when superhumans got hurt, they had to rely on modern medicine or seek out the very few superhumans with
But things will change in the future.
Because soon, potions with the WH (white house) brand will be sold.
Now, superhumans will hunt much more actively, and society will change rapidly.
If we can successfully prevent disasters, the pace at which civilization develops will also accelerate.
It was a change brought about by a single potion, not a legendary weapon or armor.
Of course, the patent for the potion is mine.
[Huh!]
While I was lost in thought about my future plans, the plump, blue light continued to emanate from the body of the snowball.
-Paaaaaaah!
For a moment, a dazzling light burst out, and after a while, the chubby-eyed boy came to his senses.
The body of the guy who underwent changes through the wine of life…
It had shrunk to half its size.
[I feel great-!]
The chubby snowdrop stretched its short arms, flew up to the ceiling, and then flew back to me.
I looked at the guy with a bewildered expression.
“Usually, if you take something like an elixir, you’re supposed to grow bigger, right?”
Strangely enough, the limbs were not shrunken separately, but were reduced to exactly half the size of a miniature. As a result, the chubby body remained the same.
With its plump body, Nunnuni circled around me.
[Thank you! Thanks to you, I’ve become so much faster!]
The speed of the chubby-eyed eyes was faster than I had imagined. If I were to exaggerate a bit, it was comparable to the mirror demon I had encountered in the dungeon a while ago.
therefore···.
“I feel dizzy, so stop turning around.”
[Okay!]
WHEEK!
Even sudden stops were possible freely. At this level, I didn’t have to worry about being eaten by monsters in the future, even if I didn’t pay much attention to it.
No. At this rate, the monsters aren’t the problem.
There must be quite a few places where it can be used, right?
I called out to the chubby-eyed girl in a quiet voice.
“Are we friends?”
The chubby, chubby little owl answered, flapping its short limbs at double the speed.
[Of course! The great man is my friend!]
“Friends help each other, right?”
[Of course! Since the great man helped us! We will help too!]
I smiled and patted the chubby, snowy head.
“Let’s keep our friendship unchanged forever.”
[Okay!!]
I went back the way I came with my chubby, shrunken eyes.
As we came out, the snow-whites looked at the plump snow-whites with their eyes wide open.
[[It got smaller-!!]]
The chubby-eyed boy was so happy that he told the story of what had happened inside.
And after a while, all the eyes turned towards me with sparkling eyes.
I said, taking the wine of life out of the box.
“Friends. Have you heard of Woojeongju?”
After a while, I saw Snowflake rise up onto the lake with its turbo engine on.
*

The first thing I noticed when I came out of the water was that it was brighter than I expected.
So at first I thought that not much time had passed.
[Ouch! Dude! Look up!]
When I looked up at the chubby-eyed boy’s words, I realized that my thoughts were completely wrong.
The sun was rising over the lake in the night sky.
No, it was a giant flame that looked like the sun.
It was obvious who made that.
“This little kid is going to wet his pants while he sleeps…”
I shook my head and came out of the lake. Behind me, the Snow-Nuns came out holding their Snow-Nunmon.
“Where did everyone go?”
When I returned to where the group had been, there was no one there. Judging from the fact that their luggage was still there, I didn’t think they had gone back, but I didn’t feel any sign of life.
I put my hands together and shouted.
“Who’s missing? Where did everyone go?”
A moment later, a huge roar erupted from one side of the lake.
“Team Leader Lim-!!”
Baek Chang-su appeared from across the lake with a roar. He ran across the lake at a terrifying speed.
···That can’t be the Eungpyeongdo scale, right?
“Team Leader Lim-!!”
There was no time to escape. Baek Chang-soo rushed in like lightning and grabbed me by the neck, shaking me violently.
“Where the hell have you been! You said you’d be back by dinner time! You eat dinner at 2 in the morning-!!”
I said, out of breath.
“Ugh! Sir. Let go of this…”
After a while, others appeared one by one, perhaps hearing Baek Chang-soo’s shout.
“Brother!” “Team Leader!”
Sirutteok and Wangguho came running together, out of breath.
“I’m the team leader!”
Baek Young-hee flew in with her little one.
Wait a minute. It’s flying in?
Looking closely, I saw a shield made by a kid spread out under the feet of the two people.
I don’t know how he did it, but the kid was flying around using the shield.
Anyway, that talented guy···.
“You’re the team leader!”
Baek Yeong-hee ran to me and hugged me – this time she couldn’t escape because she was caught by Baek Chang-soo – and sighed in relief, saying that Wang Gu-ho had been worried.
“We were so worried!”
“I thought you were drowning···.”
Before I knew it, I was surrounded by people.
I wondered why everyone was making such a fuss about being a little late, but I got caught up in the atmosphere and had no choice but to apologize to everyone.
“···Sorry I’m late.”
It wasn’t that I felt bad, it was just a little bit strange.
During that time, strangely enough, the little boy remained silent.
Then he managed to say just one word.
“Get out of the way.”
Everyone stepped aside, keeping an eye on the little boy.
The kid took about ten steps back, then ran towards me with all his might.
“You punk.”
I spread my arms. I thought what the little kid was doing was quite cute.
You were worried about me too, weren’t you?
···I underestimated the kid too much.
The brat’s full-force punch landed on my stomach.
Phew!
It didn’t hurt at all, but I looked down at the kid in disbelief.
“What is this···.”
The brat’s attacks were only the beginning. He started beating my chest and stomach with his two small fists.
“Where have you been! It’s time to eat! You didn’t come! I was worried because you didn’t come when I was hungry! You’re an idiot!”
“···Be either hungry or worried, just do one of the two.”
I sighed and grabbed the little boy’s arms.
And then I lowered my head and looked into the guy’s eyes.
“Did you cry?”
“No! I didn’t cry!”
I decided to fool him once. I nodded and patted the little brat on the head.
“Have you eaten?”
“I’m not hungry!”
“You’re lying.”
I looked back at the rice cake and said.
“Sirutteok. It’s a little late, but let’s eat. It seems like no one ate because of me.”
“Yes, brother!”
Sirutteok began to prepare the dish. I looked at the bushes behind me and spoke nostalgically.
“Friends. Come out now.”
After a while, the Snow-Nuns that had been hiding behind the bushes since Baek Chang-soo ran towards them appeared. The Snow-Nunmon lying between the bushes was also slightly visible.
“what?”
“Is it a monster!”
I explained to the surprised people, especially Baek Chang-soo who was clenching his fist, and calmed them down.
“It’s a bit long to explain, but they are my friends.”
Before that long explanation was even finished, the Snowballs were circling around us and singing.
[[We’re all friends-!!]]
Anyway, I’m telling you, these guys are incredibly sticky.
After a while, we all gathered around a campfire and had a late dinner together.
The menu included meat and vegetables I had bought in advance, fresh seafood I had pulled from the lakebed, and grilled kraken legs.
When the fake sun floating in the sky was removed, a star cluster and a rainbow symbolizing disaster appeared.
“Hiya. The two of you together make a beautiful sight.”
As I was looking at the scenery for a moment, I heard snoring next to me.
“Cool···.”
The little one fell asleep leaning on my shoulder without even eating much for dinner, and all the while he was holding onto my sleeve with his hand.
I made a puzzled expression.
“I need to go to the bathroom···.”
I tried several times to get the little one’s hands out of my clothes,
“Wow···. Don’t go···.”
Every time, the little one would whine in his sleep and hold onto my sleeve tighter.
“Oh my.”
I have to go to the bathroom later.
