What hatched from the egg was a little wolf.
“It’s a wolf… … ?”
Could it be that the wolf spirit was born under Dagne’s influence?
But Dagne was a black wolf, so why is this one silver?
The moment I saw the wolf hatching from the egg, a small question came to mind.
The wolf cub opened its eyes, looked straight at Dojin, and opened its mouth.
【…jin.】
It wasn’t that I misheard or mistook similar sounds.
Dojin felt that the wolf had called his name correctly.
And those eyes.
The shape of the pupils had changed to that of a beast, but still, the familiar gaze could not be erased.
“no way…….”
The wolf cub staggered to his feet.
Dojin’s eyes saw faintly flowing out silver and blue mana particles.
The wolf walked with difficulty and fell flat at Dojin’s feet.
The wolf, resting its chin on Dojin’s paw, closed its eyes as if relieved.
Dojin’s hand was carefully placed on the wolf’s head.
【… I walked for so long that I thought I was lost. But I came to the right place. I’m so glad… … .】
Now I understand.
It’s a little different, but it’s the guy’s voice.
The spirit of the watchman was embedded in the spirit egg, and it was born as a little wolf.
How was that possible?
It is possible that he was influenced by Dagne for a long time and became a spirit.
It could have been like that while wandering through this forest.
Or perhaps, at the last moment, he was influenced by the spirit energy that filled this empty space.
Most spirits born in Rostania are born that way.
But none of that mattered.
The important thing is.
“great job.”
At this moment, this guy’s expression looked very comfortable and happy.

The girl who had been dozing off for a moment opened her eyes and started moving her head in all directions.
To check if what I saw before falling asleep was a dream.
The first thing I discovered was a bonfire.
And that big hanging cauldron.
A familiar smell.
The girl, momentarily distracted by the smell, looked around again for what she was looking for.
He is not near the campfire.
The girl jumped up.
Sniff sniff.
As the wolf spirit developed a developed sense of smell, a human scent flowed into him.
As soon as the girl smelled it, she ran in the direction it came from.
A bright and cheerful view.
What came into view was the empty lot where he met his end.
And in the middle of it all.
【jin!】
Dojin looks back.
It was a slightly surprised look.
The girl ran towards him.
Dojin accepted the wolf cub that was rushing at him.
“You’re awake.”
【What were you doing here?】
The girl who had become a spirit looked around.
What is there to do in this vast wasteland… … .
【uh……?】
She saw the changes she hadn’t noticed while running, just looking at Dojin.
Graves that filled the empty lot.
And the tombstone right in front.
The dishes placed in front.
Dojin put the wolf girl under his arm and bent down to get the utensils.
“Leave yours here and go. This is all I have.”
The girl was not stupid.
The girl could immediately tell that it was Dojin who had made the empty lot like this, and that the most beautifully decorated grave was his.
“My friend who loves warm stew.”
The girl stared intently at the words written on the tombstone.
At the very end of the last, a combination of words that Dojin would remember himself by.
The girl who saw it twisted her body and escaped from Dojin’s arms.

【jin.】
My instinct as a spirit whispered.
What you are about to do now is a choice that can never be undone.
The girl responded to that instinct.
I walked back through that vast darkness for this.
“… … ?”
The girl spoke to Dojin, who was puzzled by the sudden change in atmosphere.
【A name for me who was born anew and still has no name.】
I stake my all on you, my existence.
【My existence is with your life, and when your life ends, my time will end.】
This is something that a spirit who has been granted a long time can do only if he is prepared for a short lifespan.
A contract in which the spirit entrusts everything to the contractor and accepts subordination and domination as a master and servant.
【I will buy your time.】
[The spirit 「 」 desires complete subordination.]
【So make a contract with me, Jin.】
[Would you like to sign the contract?]
There was a slight sense of uneasiness in the eyes of the little wolf looking at Dojin.
A look of concern that she might be rejected.
So, Dojin spoke without hesitation.
“Please take care of me.”
In this situation, with those eyes in front of you, it’s stupid to say anything else.
At that time, it would be better to think about a name to give to this guy.
【Really? Really?】
The tail wags back and forth.
The little wolf looked like he wanted to pounce at any moment.
However, the reason I am holding on is because in order for the contract to end, I have to receive the ‘name’ that was set as a condition.
The little wolf’s eyes looked at Dojin with expectant eyes.
Dojin felt relieved when he saw those eyes.
‘It’s a good thing we decided in advance.’
Because I had already decided on a plausible name to give to my nameless friend.
A small white flower blooming next to the sleeping boy, another name for the wind flower.
“anemone.”
Since he was originally a guy who ran through the forest like the wind, isn’t his name quite fitting?
【anemone……?】
“Do you like it?”
To Dojin’s question, the little wolf, Anemone, nodded her head vigorously.
[The contract with the spirit ‘Anemone’ has been completed.]
Anemone’s body dispersed into light and permeated Dojin.
[Anemone’s level and abilities are reset to match the contractor’s level and abilities.]
Due to the special contract between existence and existence, soul and soul, Anemone’s level and abilities have been adjusted to match Dojin’s.
“anemone.”
As Dojin extended his hand and called her name, Anemone was summoned with a silver flash.
As her level increased, Anemone’s power as a spirit grew rapidly, and she also grew much larger.
The wolf, which was so small that it could have been called a puppy, was now larger than a normal wolf.
Even though he was standing on all fours, his head came up to near Dojin’s face.
But the only thing that has changed is the size.
As soon as Anemone was summoned, she stuck her head in front of Dojin and acted like a puppy welcoming its owner.
‘Is it true that you became a canine spirit and your personality is starting to resemble a dog’s?’
I thought about this while sweeping my head, which had become so large.
Well, it doesn’t matter if I do this or that. Since this guy looks happy, that’s fine.
By the way, it’s time to leave the forest now.
Now, sleeping out in the forest is becoming a real pain.
* * *
It was hard work and there were many twists and turns, but I have finally come to the end of this hidden quest.
The results weren’t bad either.
If Anemone had died and ended, the weight of the stone on her heart would have been greater, no matter what she gained, but at least she was alive.
There was also great gains in terms of growth.
‘I’ve obtained a spirit that is just right for filling in what the wizard lacks.’
What Dojin lacks the most is physical attack ability.
Wolf Spirit (Physical) Anemone’s specialty is physically tearing apart enemies.
It was also a plus that Dojin had someone to protect him while he used his magic.
In addition, Anemone was a companion with infinite potential to become a tremendous force depending on how it was utilized.
Overall, it was a pretty pleasant ending.
“Let’s take a rest now.”
Dojin jumped into the real bed he had returned to after a long time.
This is heaven.
I was in a situation where I had to sleep out on the cold ground to recover my in-game avatar’s stamina.
It was perhaps natural that the soft yet firm feel of the mattress made me feel like crying.
‘It seems that people’s happiness level increases when they periodically look at the bottom.’
Dojin, who realized one of the truths of life, rolled around and felt the texture of the bed.
Then, soon, an unbearable drowsiness came over me.
“-Jin-ah… … .”
Then, Dojin heard Cheon Jihyun’s voice.
It was such a distant sound that I couldn’t tell if it was reality or a dream.
“… Can I… send it?”
Dojin closed his eyes slowly as he heard the words being cut off.
Do as you please.

The Lael Entertainment content team has been very busy lately.
This is because, in addition to various promotional videos, the number of creators, including celebrities and YouTubers, who have recently signed new contracts with the company has increased, leading to an increase in work.
However, during this extremely busy time, the content team leader was away from other work for a full three days.
The reason was because of one long, long video.
[Dojin Creator Play Video (Full)]
A terrifying video that lasts a whole week.
You need to have a complete understanding of the materials to be able to determine the overall direction of the video production.
In order to produce detailed footage, we had to watch the entire video, and the time it took to do so took three whole days, even though the footage was played at double speed.
The first person the team leader visited, whose already existing dark circles under his eyes had become even darker, was Director Joo Kang-hee.
“Boss, I’ll bet my life on this. This video is definitely going to be a hit. Everything up until now has been a hit, but this one’s really the real deal.”
“… Are you okay? Your complexion is so bad… … .”
“Thank you for your concern, but I’m completely fine. But first of all… … .”
What the team leader handed me with half-open eyes was a plan for video production.
Since it is a plan and I want to do this and that, I could summarize it as ‘give me money’.
The problem was that the amount was a bit high. There were noticeable parts where the amount was adjusted here and there in the plan, but the conclusion was that around 500 million won was needed.
In today’s world, 500 million won is not a small amount of money to produce content, but it’s not a huge amount of money either.
But that’s for content that’s being created on a fairly large scale.
It’s safe to say that there will be no need to burn 500 million won, as all that’s needed is to cut and edit already-produced gameplay footage to maximize the viewing enjoyment.
Still, the fact that the content team leader is so excited and is pushing forward with a plan that is close to nonsense means that Dojin has made a big mistake this time.
‘I guess I should at least check it out just out of curiosity.’
Joo Kang-hee tried to send the restless team leader away for now. He said he would check the video himself and decide then.
The content team leader, who had already prepared, showed Joo Kang-hee a few of the best scenes from the video.
And about 15 minutes later.
The content team leader left the office with a bright expression.
‘There’s not much time left until the contract renewal, so I have to show her properly. If I bother her too much, she’ll hate me again. But if I do it moderately, it’ll be okay.’
In Joo Kang-hee’s head, looking at Do-jin reflected on the monitor, various projects that would be linked to the results of this video were playing out like a panorama.
