The “Heart of the Poisonous Dragon” is quietly sitting in your inventory.
“Chimera’s Poison Pouch” was upgraded to this as a hidden quest reward.
It was an item that was dropped with an extremely low probability only by dragon monsters that were not just Drakes but also Poison Drakes or higher, and even then, only by elite monsters.
It was a high-grade material that could increase resistance to poison simply by eating it, and could also be used as an ingredient for equipment or potions.
The problem is that I can’t use it right now.
“If you process it to remove the toxicity, the effect will be reduced… and if you just eat it, you’ll die of exhaustion. Hmm, I’ll have to put this in my mouth when I reach level 100.”
Dojin, who took the heart out of his inventory just in case, smacked his lips when he saw the glove burning away in an instant with a sizzle.
If I eat this now, I’ll end up like a martial arts idiot who eats anything and becomes addicted to coins, shitting on the walls.
“Well, if you need money later, you can sell it.”
Anyway, compared to the Chimera’s venom sac, I got something that was a few levels higher in quality, so that was good enough.
If you can eat it, you can eat it to increase your poison resistance, and if you’re lucky, it’s even better if you get a poison-related trait.
Or you can just sell it and get some money.
These items can be sold for a high price not only by users but also by those disguised as magicians.
This is an item that you should be concerned about not so much in your inventory as in how much your bank balance will change, so it is definitely good.
And above all, this wasn’t the main menu.
[Black Dragon Fang Dagger]
The protagonist of this loot settlement was the “Black Dragon Fang Dagger”, which was not only classified as a “dragon” but was actually made as a part of a “dragon”.
Dojin brought up the details of the dagger made from the black dragon’s fang with a trembling heart.
[Black Dragon’s Fang Dagger]
Level cap: 53
Rating: S
Attack Power and Magic Attack Power: 150
Unique Activation Skill: Black Dragon’s Fang
That word, just by its sound, sounds expensive, looks good, and somehow makes you feel full even if you don’t eat anything.
S-class.
The “Black Dragon’s Fang Dagger” was a dagger that Dojin didn’t know about, but he could tell just by looking at the tooltip.
This is something special.
First of all, the level restriction is ridiculously low for a topic that includes the word ‘dragon’.
Perhaps it was because the level restriction of the original reward, “Haverkan’s Fang Dagger,” was applied.
It was also attractive that there were no other restrictions other than the level limit and that there were no penalty options.
It was also advantageous in that it had a lot of demand because it simply increased both water and magic attack.
Above all, it seems to prove that it is an S-class by having an activation skill attached.
[Black Dragon’s Fang]
Poisons enemies with the Cursed Black Dragon’s venom. Deals fixed damage to the poisoned target every second, and when the curse is complete, causes a poison explosion that deals fixed damage equal to three times the damage inflicted.
Duration: 3 minutes
Cooldown: 10 minutes
“… … .”
Dojin was shocked after reading the skill description.
Even if you only do fixed damage at a fixed rate, that’s just the process of completing the curse that was planted.
The true exhaust attack is a burst damage that explodes when the poison and curse are fully spread and completed, dealing 3x the damage.
It was a very cruel attack where adding a curse to the poison made it difficult to deal with, but if you fill up the duration without thinking, the time bomb will explode with a “bang!”
This doubly vicious skill is something that even wizards or sorcerers who grow up on trees specializing in this type of thing will only be able to get to level 6.
Dojin, who had only recently learned 4-star magic, was now able to display skills equivalent to those of 6-star magic with just one dagger.
“… This ratio is also strange?”
I checked the exact figures on the details page.
The dot damage that goes in for 3 minutes, plus the 3x explosive damage that explodes, is on par with the damage of the 10-shot “Flash Lance” that hits you with full mana.
Dojin felt as if a brilliant light was emanating from the dagger’s blade. It was a dull black blade, but it seemed to shine.
“This is almost S+ grade.”
There are some items that stand out in performance even within the same class, and this was one of them.
A smile escapes my lips.
Dojin quickly changed his weapon and looked around to see if he missed anything.
Searching wasn’t difficult since all the bodies had already disappeared without a trace.
“It’s a shame those bloody bastards didn’t drop the right thing.”
Dojin tried to sweep away all the items dropped by the dead men without leaving anything behind, but unfortunately, only the ineffective Fortress Relics remained where the bloody guild members died.
Even if you’re only around level 50, a one-hour fortification would cost at least 3 million won. As expected from a guild made up of rich people.
In the end, it was the right decision from their perspective, as they were able to minimize damage thanks to the fortifications that cut experience loss in half when dying and prevented item drops.
‘Thanks to that, I feel a bit sorry.’
Dojin took a quick look around the quiet space and enjoyed the aftertaste of revenge before moving on.
Towards where there is something you want to see.
* * *
Treewood is a small village that survives solely on wheat farming, without any special products to speak of.
It was just an ordinary town with nothing to boast about materially, but the neighborhood children running around cheerfully were something to boast about.
“Kyahahak!”
A child running away while making a strange laughing sound.
After that, several angry little ladies chase after the child in front.
“Gid! If you catch me, you die!”
“Oh, I knew I’d get caught! Catch me if you can! You fat pigs!”

The little ladies’ mouths erupted in harsh words at the provocation of the brave little Gid.
Those were overly cruel words for a child not even ten years old to write.
To summarize, the moment Gide was caught, he was to be water tortured with his skin, flesh, and bones separated.
Gid ran without even breathing.
It’s been seven years now. I didn’t want to go to the afterlife after only seven years since I was born.
‘Today was really a mistake… … .’
The running Gid’s face became gloomy.
I just wanted to apologize to Aidel for teasing her so much and making her cry yesterday.
So I picked a lot of wild flowers. I thought Aidel would like them.
But when I went to see her, before I could even look at the wildflowers hidden behind her, she told me that we were no longer friends.
Deep inside, I wanted to apologize, but when she told me not to talk to her anymore because we weren’t friends anymore, I got mad and ended up pulling Aidel’s short hair and teasing her.
‘Heh, I won’t be friends with someone with short hair like you, a guy!’
Aidel is the youngest daughter of the blacksmith, Uncle Hyrus.
I originally had long hair, but recently, while playing in the blacksmith shop, my hair got completely burned off.
So now I have short hair like a boy.
I was just teasing you to make you laugh when I saw you getting depressed about that. What I really wanted to say was, Adel, you’re pretty whether your hair is short or long… No, that’s not it.
While running, Gid shook his head and suddenly changed direction.
Unlike Aidel, Aidel’s older sisters 1, 2, and 3 are truly vicious and strong.
If he was caught, he would have to pay a heavy price for making Aidel cry, so Gid ran as fast as he could down the alley-
puck.
Gide’s eyes flashed.
The moment I turned, I bumped into someone.
“evil!”
Are you sure you bumped into a person? Not a log or something?
The shock was too much for his young body to handle, and he was thrown backwards and collapsed.
Gid raised his head to see what he had bumped into.
“Eek!”
And then I crawled backwards slowly.
The person he had collided with was a very dangerous-looking person wearing a black robe.
His attire alone looked ominous, but his face looked even more dangerous.
He’s handsome, but I guess I should say he just seems like a really dirty person.
It seemed like jumping in would be the best option.
however.
“Gid!”
“Hoo hoo, I finally got it.”
On the other side of the alley, Orc Warriors 1, 2, and 3 appeared.
When did they catch up with me? Unlike Aidel, their speed is not suitable for their size, which resembles their blacksmith father.
‘Oh, what should I do?’
In front are cruel orcs who are trying to tear apart the traitor who made their beloved youngest child cry into pieces of leather, flesh, and bones.
At the back is a dangerous-looking person I’ve never seen before.
Gide’s eyes trembled violently as he stood at the crossroads of his life.
That was when.
“It looks dangerous. Should I help you?”
The dangerous looking man said.
Contrary to his appearance, his voice sounded kind.
I also feel a little bit of laughter.
So Gid nodded absentmindedly.
The man who had received Gid’s request, Dojin, turned his gaze towards the approaching little ladies, snapping his fingers.
“Hey guys.”
Then, the trio, who were so angry that they didn’t even realize the existence of a third party, discovered Dojin.
The little ladies flinched when they saw Dojin, who had pure white skin, unlike all the other village men who were all dark-skinned.
“Who, who are you?”
The tallest eldest asked.
It was a very cautious attitude, unlike when he was trying to punish Gid.
“Oh, I know this kid… I think we should talk.”
At Dojin’s words, Gideun made a face as if he didn’t understand English. Dojin pressed the oblivious kid’s head hard to stop him from speaking.
“Gid… Langyo?”
Someone like you knows a country bumpkin like that? The first one looked in disbelief. The second and third ones standing next to each other had the same reaction.
However, Dojin’s atmosphere was like that, and above all, it was the first time in their lives that they had seen a white and handsome man, so Aidel’s sisters couldn’t tell them to hand over the gear right away because they had to dismantle it.
“I’ll give you this instead.”
Throughout history and the world, bribery has been the best way to give strength to a person who is hesitating.
Dojin gave each of the three kids one by one a trinket that was just a random item rolling around in his inventory.
“omg!”
And that too by using telekinesis.
The children, whose eyes were fixed on the ring that was floating and approaching, asked in a screaming voice.
“Oh, are you a magician?”
Dojin answered with a smile. It’s similar.
Anyway, with the amazing technology and the pretty ring, the kids’ affection for Dojin skyrocketed in an instant, and thanks to that, Gid was transferred to Dojin.
Dojin went up the hill behind the village, carrying the little boy he had bought with three rings. This was the boy he had been looking for by circling the village three times.
‘I never imagined you’d be such a prankster.’
How can you imagine?
It was impossible to conjure up such a sight in the face of the child who was dying coldly in the ruins that had been trampled by Haverkan.
Dojin arrived at a place where he could overlook the village at a glance, sat down casually, and looked toward the village.
“What is your name?”
Gid, who had been hesitating and looking around, answered quietly. “Gi, Gid.”
Dojin, who was smiling, looked at Gid and asked.
“What kind of prank did you play to get chased away like that?”
“… I don’t know. They’re just being violent.”
“I don’t think so.”
Dojin looked at Gide’s tightly clenched hand.
Although it was a mess, it was clearly a flower that he was holding on to.
“Did you steal any flowers from the flower shop?”
“yes?”
At Dojin’s words, Gid frowned as if to say, “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“No, that’s not it?”
“So you were rejected after confessing? No, confessing isn’t a mortal sin.”
“… … .”
Dojin, who saw Gid who had become speechless, laughed cheerfully.
It was fun just looking at the village down there, looking at this kid, and having these meaningless conversations.
A place that was terribly broken in my previous life. That place breathes because of the future I changed.
A dying child lying on the cold floor, calling for his mother, is playing and holding a wild flower like first love in his hand.
All of that created an emotion that was hard to put into words.
It was just a nice feeling, a tickling sensation near my heart and a warmth filling one side of my chest.
“Do you see them down there? They’re just waiting for you to come.”
Dojin said, pointing to the three who were watching from the bottom of the hill.
“…ha.”
“I guess I’ll have to run around a lot again once I get back down anyway, so tell me how it all came to this. I’m your senior in life, so I’ll listen.”
“Are you an old man?”
“You, are you going to hand it over to those kids down there?”
“…Your brother?”
Gid finally sighed and sat down next to Dojin.
And the story began.
Dojin looked down at the peaceful village and listened to Gid’s words.
The story of an ordinary little boy’s first love, which would have been lost forever if it weren’t for him.
By the end of that story.
The sun was setting across the village.
Just then, a small child was coming up from the bottom of the hill, looking for a friend who had not been seen for a long time.
A child who will probably be the female protagonist of a boy’s first love story.
Dojin wasn’t oblivious.
“Do well. Don’t regret it later.”
Dojin gave a brief greeting and took a last look at the village scenery and the small people moving around before walking away.
The boy whose fate had changed looked at him for a long time as if he were looking at a strange person.
