Mutation -4-
Ten servings of ramen were gone in no time.
The mutants licked the floor clean.
“No more?”
“Just give me one more bite!”
“It’s such a shame… … .”
“Don’t you have ramen at home?”
“None.”
“We only live on nutritional capsules and rice cakes.”
It seems like he just ate whatever he wanted because he couldn’t taste anything.
They say that if you take herbal medicine like a giant bear, you will eat well.
“You can go to the mart and buy some. Or you can hunt some and bring it. It’s delicious even if you just sprinkle salt, pepper, and magic core powder on the meat.”
“Gulp!”
“Go now!”
“Anyone who has been to the ceasefire line?”
“Hey, did you know that the ceasefire line is the mountain behind the neighborhood?”
Mutants were flying everywhere.
Some said they were going to town and others said they were going hunting.
Even the giant bear wiggled its butt.
“Should I go to Inje-eup too?”
“Hey, village chief. Where are you going with that size?”
“Do you think all humans are monsters?”
The mutants returned in an instant.
A mutant carrying a wild boar, a mutant bringing back dozens of pheasants, a mutant carrying a tower of ramen boxes as loot, a mutant preserving ice cream by freezing it with his own breath.
An untimely festival was held.
The whole monster village was in an uproar.
High-level mutants of level 5 and 6, as well as children who were barely able to walk and patients who could barely control their bodies, all came out.
“Oh, it’s delicious!”
“Ah, this is sweetness… … .”
“You have to live long to see this.”
“oh my god…….”
“Ugh, thank you. Thank you.”
It didn’t end there.
Mutants with unique speech patterns also joined one by one.
“Is this an ice cream cone?”
“Instant noodles are really tasty!”
“I’ll eat well!”
No, where on earth do these people live that they speak like that?
When I gave him a look of astonishment, the giant bear whispered to me in a voice he couldn’t hide.
“The differences between the North and the South are meaningless to us. We are persecuted wherever we go.”
“That’s true, but… … .”
“Don’t be so observant. Those people had a hard time getting here. You know the situation in the North. It’s hard to make a living.”
Even in this world where magical science has developed, North Korea is the poorest country.
Mutants are said to have a harder time surviving.
In South Korea, they are legally treated as human beings, but in North Korea, they are hunted down and have their magical cores removed at every opportunity?
As I nodded, the bear lifted a large tin cup.
Cheers pose.
The soju I gave him was covered in magic core powder and had a golden appearance.
“Let’s have a drink. Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
I don’t really like alcohol, but I can’t give it up in times like this.
While I was gulping down my drink, the giant bear emptied his tin cup, which was as big as his head.
“Wow! Now I know why people like alcohol so much. It’s so refreshing!”
“The village chief is also human, so why do you call him a human?”
“It’s just a word that sticks in your mouth. To be honest, it hasn’t been that long since we were treated as human beings. Even during the Japanese colonial period, we were treated like talking animals. I’ve been on the brink of death dozens of times. Man, back then, the hunters were really vicious. At least the new Hunters’ Association Chairman is understandable. Oh, and you’re a member of the Hunters’ Association, right?”
“you’re right.”
“When hunting, always check if your opponent is a mutant or a normal demon before pulling the trigger. Once or twice a year, one of our villagers gets shot. I don’t want to kill you with my own hands.”
“Keep that in mind.”
The Monster Village’s answer to mutant hunting has always been the same.
duel.
And revenge.
It was a right specified in South Korea’s Mutant Act.
I heard that it was the price paid by the giant bears and mutants who fought in World War II and the Korean War (6/25).
“By the way, you said you needed a magic core?”
“yes.”
I pricked up my ears.
The giant bear looks thoughtfully into his glass.
Golden liquid was flowing from the eyes that resembled a cow’s.

A reputation value that has no tact in the game.
But what about in reality?
What if you are now struggling in a new world of taste and caught up in a storm of taste?
“It wasn’t supposed to work that way, you know… … .”
The giant bear looked around at the villagers.
The festival is in full swing.
Everyone was eating with their eyes rolled back, but now they have calmed down a bit and are enjoying the food to some extent.
“Pine tree, pine tree♪”
A tree mutant who sings with a raspy voice.
“Doom doom chit! Doom chit!”
A three-headed, six-legged yaksha mutant with a strangely twisted body.
“it is delicious!”
“I want one more!”
“Oh, I’m going to get a stomachache.”
There is also a mutant baby chick that cries for ice cream.
The monster village was filled with rare laughter and happiness.
Even the giant bear had an innocent smile on its lips.
“It’s been a really long time. It’s been a really long time… … .”
What kind of past is the old bear looking into?
Eyes soaked in memories for the first time in a long time.
Get up for a moment.
Less than a minute later, it returned, its large forepaws holding several glowing jewels.
“Take it. It’s the magic core you wanted.”
Exactly four.
The magical cores of the giant, demon, yaksha, and thunderbird mutants respectively.
Whose is it?
I don’t know.
It could be a companion of the giant bear, a friend, or a close relative or family member.
I put the magic core in my golf bag without any specifications.
“thank you.”
“Use it well. They would rather be used by human friends like you than just sleep in the charnel house. Surely you won’t sell it?”
“I’ll use it. I’ve hit a wall in the realm and am trying to make a reconstitution potion, but my magic spirit says I absolutely need a mutant magic core.”
“What? You’re using it in a reconstruction potion?”
“Yes. Is that not possible?”
If you say no here, it’s going to be difficult.
As I glanced at the bear, he burst out laughing.
“I knew it from the moment you blocked my attack earlier, but you really are an amazing person!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes! There was a human who asked me to give him the mutant magic core needed for the reconstruction elixir. Do you know who that was?”
“Who are you?”
“That’s the commander of the Eastern Army Corps. That guy with the Mukho Sword. Oh, wait a minute. Isn’t that the Mukho Sword? Not the Baekho Sword?”
Were you acquainted with the commander?
After all, both of them are people who have contributed to independence and war.
It’s stranger when there’s no face.
“you’re right.”
“If you were that disciple of the inspiration, you should have told me in advance. You got hit by me for no reason.”
“I am not a disciple. It was given to me as a gift by the commander.”
“That old man gave it to me as a gift? He’s not even your disciple?”
A bear with a face that says, “Stop talking nonsense.”
He quickly changes his face and gives me a look of understanding.
“Well, the condition of that old man’s son and his disciples is not so good. There are many leopards and lynxes, but no tigers.”
“I met them briefly, and they were all brave and wise people.”
“Wouldn’t that old man’s eyes be interested in it? He’s the guy who was aiming for the post-Cheonma. He should be at least level 8.”
The giant bear looked at me with meaningful eyes.
“You’re only level 4 when you encounter the wall of the realm, and yet the reconstruction elixir contains 4 types of mutant magic cores… … Do you know? What level was that old man when he ate the magic cores?”
“You must have been level 7.”
“No. It was level 5.”
Has the growth limit reached level 5?
You’re saying it wasn’t SSR-class, but R-class.
In the game, since you’ve already surpassed the growth limit at the start, you’re considered SSR level.
The giant bear nodded his head vigorously.
“Perhaps you might become the true Silent Sword King, or rather the Sword Saint.”
“Blackface? That’s too much.”
“Although his temperament is different from that spirit, if he’s strong, what’s the big deal? Anyway, if we need four types of magic cores this time, we’ll need more next time.”
“I guess so.”
“If you need anything, just let me know. It would be great if we could have a connection with the next corps commander.”
“Thank you for your kind words. I will not refuse.”
“Instead, we can ask you a few favors. Keep that in mind.”
“That is a given.”
This is exactly what I was hoping for.
Because many of the quests in Monster Village have great rewards.
I’m growing so fast that I don’t know if I’ll have time to do it.
I shook myself off and got up.
As soon as you pick up your golf bag, mutants gather.
Everyone felt regretful and some even shed tears.
“Are you coming again?”
“You are our village’s benefactor!”
“The hope of mutants all over the world!”
“Thank you so much!”
“I’ll miss you!”
A mutant whose instincts are stronger than reason and whose fists speak louder than words.
Perhaps that is why they were more pure and affectionate than humans.
As I started running down the mountain, dozens of mutants followed me.
Most of them fell behind quickly, but there were a few mutants who ran as well as I did.
Among them, a woman with her face and body completely covered, and a skeleton snake tapped my shoulder.
“thanks.”
“Thank you.”
“Thanks to you, I ate for the first time in 200 years.”
200 years?
Turns out it was a fossil.
“You’ve lived a long time?”
“I just grew old for nothing. It was fun after so many decades.”
“Dozens of years… … .”
“I heard that the reconstruction elixir requires a mutant magic core. If you need a skeleton snake magic core, just tell me. I’ll give you mine.”
Are you crazy?
Why are you giving me yours?
I shook my head urgently.
“It’s okay. Even if I need to, I don’t plan on using the magic core of a living person. Is there no magic core in this big world?”
“If you don’t like it, tell me. I’ll be happy to give it to you.”
How can you give something of your own when you don’t even have two hearts?
Before I knew it, I arrived at the place where I had parked my car.
As I started the engine, the skeleton snake waved its hand.
“Take care. Don’t die before you take my magic core.”
“Stop saying weird things.”
“But is it true? When I was born, I received a prophecy. I was destined to offer my magic core to the one who gave me back my tongue, blood, and flesh. From that point on, I and the world would be reborn like the sun.”
That’s what Skeleton Snake’s personal quest is about… … .
It’s my first time hearing about receiving a magic core.
Even if you take out a 200-year-old mutant’s heart, he’ll die!
I waved my hands.
“It must be a metaphor. It’s a prophecy, so how can it be clearly interpreted?”
“Maybe so… … .”
“Please interpret it carefully. Don’t ruin it by interpreting it strangely.”
“Yeah. Thanks for the advice.”
“See you next time.”
“bye.”
Boohoo!
The exploration of the monster village, which lasted less than a day but felt like it lasted several days, has ended.
I returned home with my tired body.
Isn’t that drunk driving?
[Diamond Body][Immortal][Sigurd’s Training Method]
[Indomitable][Drug Resistance][Poison Resistance]
A few sips of alcohol are meaningless in front of this trait set.
Maybe even if I ingest radiation, I can digest it?
“I brought the magic core.”
[Thank you for your hard work, Master. Please put it in the material box.]
Everything was ready.
When you put it in the material compartment, the bottom opens and you move to the magic cauldron.
Start manufacturing right away.
I didn’t have to touch it or anything.
The entire process is automated, so the reconstituted elixir is manufactured without a single millimeter or milliliter of error.
Four reconstructed elixirs that were just completed.
Red, black, blue, and white liquids were swirling around in a magic crystal bottle.
[I need three bottles of nectar.]
“If you add the special elixir, it’s your disease, right?”
[Yes.]
“It costs more than I thought.”
[I expect it will cost more the next time I rebuild. I need five bottles of nectar.]
“I only need one special potion?”
[Yes. And I am currently designing a method to forcibly discharge the magic power contained in the nectar. If the master absorbs all the magic power of five bottles of nectar, a magic power explosion will definitely occur.]
Since I have eleven bottles, I can use them until the next level up.
I took four bottles of nectar from the safe and placed them in the materials compartment.
Start compressing the reconstitution potion.
Cheeeeek!
Steam is gushing out.
Golden smoke billows out and then disperses.
A considerable amount of magical power is being released.
More than I have the power to do.
[Completed.]
The finally completed reconstructed elixir.
Should we call it a mutant elixir?
It contains five colors: yellow, black, white, blue, and red, and it splits into five branches, swirls, then gathers and ripples repeatedly.
[Master, I recommend that you remove all abilities and take it.]
“You want me to eat it completely raw?”
[Yes. This will maximize the potion’s effects. However, it will be very painful, so please prepare yourself mentally.]
“under…….”
I used to think that even if I equipped it with a trait pool and ate nectar, I would die, but now they want me to get hit and hold it while it’s still alive?
There’s nothing I can do.
I need to get stronger.
Unless you are going to live a rough life and die, you have to endure the current suffering.
Even the old father’s sect is eyeing me right now.
If it weren’t for the Treaty of Destruction, I would have been taken away long ago and brainwashed like a dog.
I closed my eyes tightly and took a sip of the reconstructive potion.
“Keuh-euk!”
The body is broken.
It breaks and falls apart piece by piece.
Bones are shattered and muscles are disintegrated.
It feels like it’s been torn apart into individual cells and then reassembled.
It is impossible to express it in words.
I fainted and fainted several times.
My breathing actually stopped and my heart stopped.
But I survived.
It wasn’t because I was great.
It was purely because of the basic ingredient in the elixir, namely nectar.
It wasn’t for nothing that the magic spirit asked me to bring three bottles of nectar.
“Ugh, ugh, ugh.”
The magic spirit spoke to me in a cold voice as I was out of breath.
[Master, please take the special elixir. You must take it right now for it to take effect.]
“Okay, I got it.”
It wasn’t weak as a special elixir.
It was the same thing that tormented me to the point of death.
Still, it was good.
[Attack]
With a gift from the heart of the goat demon.
Because I finally reached level 5.
