Episode 116.
[Caina]
[Dragon Knight]
[Lv308]
Jung Si-woo touched her and checked the status, all while muttering in astonishment.
“You’ve become a Dragon Knight.”
[It happened the moment I said it, and you accepted it. Isn’t it you, my master, who made me?]
“I made you…hmm…”
He didn’t know how the resting place was made or how it worked, but yes. It was true that Jung Si-woo made her. Moreover, he had the sense of the dragon. It may have affected her body and the way she created mana.
“But why is her name Caina?”
[Which was more dominant, the scraps of a soul or a dead body? It just came down to that.]
Caina’s voice was bitter. Jung Si-woo was trying to say that it was just a name, and they could change it to Beache again, but he closed his mouth after realizing that names weren’t something to be taken so lightly.
“Anyway, let’s go see your brother.”
[Sure.]
Death Knight…no, the Dragon Knight’s creation process was very intense, but it didn’t take long; no more than five minutes. Beto was lying on Jung Si-woo’s bed and couldn’t open his eyes yet.
[Beto.]
Caina called out to her younger brother with a high and new voice, unlike when she was a Death Knight. However, it was a bit funny to see her standing far away, unlike what she said when she wanted to touch her younger brother.
“…Sister?”
Interestingly, he reacted immediately. The boy who was groaning opened his eyes as soon as he heard her voice. The color of his pupils was gold like his hair. Jung Si-woo thought the boy was handsome but needed a wash and a new pair of clothes.
‘And his Mana quality seems to look pretty good…’
Jung Si-woo was now a pretty decent player, so he couldn’t help but smile at himself when he first thought of such a thing when he saw the boy.
“Sister…”
[Beto…do you recognize me?]
“Sister!”
Beto bounced up so fast that it seemed as if he was never lying down in the first place. He immediately hugged Caina. She was in a hurry to step back, fearing that the boy would be hurt by her armor, but Beto didn’t care.
“Sister, sister!”
[…I may not be your sister anymore.]
“Sister!”
They were sure that the only word he knew was ‘sister’. Jung Si-woo thought so as he stepped back. Anyway, Beto looked fine. His mental state was clearly vulnerable, but Jung Si-woo had no intention of suddenly introducing reality to the boy, who had been through a rough time. The mysteriously distorted remains of existence, a boy thrown to earth after being manipulated by the power of god. How could those two be ordinary siblings? It was a mystery. But now, it seemed clear that they were important to each other.
“Let’s find out where the residential area is first.”
“Yes, Oppa. We still don’t know what they’re talking about, but we’d better give them time to talk alone.”
Watching a new drama in front of one’s eyes was something that Jung Si-woo wasn’t used to. Jung Si-woo and Soo Ah-rin quietly stepped out, leaving behind the emotional siblings hugging and opened the door to the residential area. It was a new, small world.
“What is this?”
“This is so…you mean it’s a space allowed for underground players?”
“Given that I’m the only underground player, I’m the only one allowed…”
If you asked if it was completely the same as the external environment, it wasn’t. It was definitely underground. However, it was also an environment where he could forget he was underground at any moment. Around the endless high ceiling, he felt a sphere of light (unusual mana) that shone brilliantly as if it were replacing the sun. Several of them flew around, and the blowing wind passed through them and circled in the air.
Finally, they could breathe the fresh air that was hard to find even on the ground. It had an environment in which life could thrive.
“The area itself isn’t…that wide.”
“But isn’t it as big as a dungeon?”
The structure of the residential area was extremely simple. There were several stone buildings with adequate spacing in the large vacant lot to match the term residential area. The circular space without alleys and walls was about three kilometers wide.
“Oh, this…I’ve seen these in a few dungeons before.”
Soo Ah-rin was looking around while walking through the vacant lot full of beautiful flowers and plants, letting out a small exclamation as she picked a small purple flower. Soon, an explanation of the flowers popped up in front of her.
[Karena]
[Rank – C+]
[A poisonous flower. It has a good scent and is suitable for making poisonous tea if you grind it finely and mix it with other tea leaves.]
“I wish I hadn’t seen this kind of information…”
“Is this how the information usually pops up? Even in the dungeons?”
“In the dungeons…no, I need to identify it first. But the ones here don’t need to be.”
Jung Si-woo thought about picking some flowers and bringing them to the kitchen but decided not to because he didn’t think that it was possible to create potions using them. It would be best to leave the flowers as flowers.
“I don’t think it’s such a grand area.”
“But I think we can solve the problem of accommodation when we bring in more people from around the world like Beto in the future. And we can take not only flowers but also ingredients kinds of food.”
“Yeah, but I just can’t figure out the principles.”
Although the resting place had become more spacious than before, it was still a closed space underground, so it was still stuffy. However, it made him feel better because there was a large space that could be reached through one door.
“Is this the feeling of a city man who buys land in the country and stops by the farm every weekend?”
“I think that’s a little different.”
But when the two people had a quick look at the area and turned around to go back, the door opened, and two more people came inside. Of course, it was Caina and Beto.
[Master, we’re done talking. Thank you for your consideration.]
Caina said so and pushed Beto forward slightly. The little boy stepped forward and bowed carefully to him.
“Uhm, thank you for helping me and my sister, Master.”
“No, I’m not your master.”
“My sister serves you, so you are my master, too.”
Jung Si-woo felt troubled. However, the boy’s will was more stubborn than he thought, and trying to convince him was unlikely to change anything. He felt like the boy completely accepted Caina as his sister. At the moment when his mind became complicated in many ways, a message popped up.
[A person talented in magic moved into the residential area. You can build a blacksmith’s shop by collecting necessary materials.]
“Look at this?”
“What’s that?”
Of course, the residential area couldn’t have been an ordinary vacant lot! Jung Si-woo asked Beto in a calm voice, but the boy was tilting his head.
“Are you good at making things?”
“Uhm, my father was a blacksmith. And my mother was a wizard…I’ve learned a little from the two. My mother always told me to learn something else because I’m good at controlling mana, but I’m too scared to fight.”
“Well…so, your father is a blacksmith, your mother is a wizard, and your sister is a knight.”
It was a colorful family that could be the main characters of a fantasy novel. However, Jung Si-woo decided to be happy because he was welcoming a rare person that could master magic.
“Okay, Beto, I’m not your master, but I’ll help you live here in peace. So, I want you to do a little bit of work for me.”
“I’ll do anything! You can ask me anything!”
Beto’s motivation became a spark that flared up. Caina smiled happily as she stood behind him. He was definitely lively and stood out, so even Jung Si-woo laughed.
“So it looks like everything is settled anyway. What should we do now?”
“I want to rest.”
Soo Ah-rin affirmed. As soon as she returned from the 73rd castle of Setnak, she seemed to be very tired of dealing with the additional unexpected events, including the black coffin and residential area. Jung Si-woo suddenly felt the fatigue when he heard her.
“Okay, let’s get some rest. Come to think of it; I’ve just been wandering around after the World Player Representative Conference.”
“The whole world had been turned upside down by the Luinos Lizards. You were already famous, but you’ve become more famous, and your interest in god’s power has increased…but.”
Soo Ah-rin spread her fluffy wings. Her face was tired, but her tone was firm.
“I’m done with that now, so I’m going to wash up and sleep.”
“Yes, you can take a bath ahead of me.”
“Yes, Oppa. Thank you. I’ll head off first.”
Jung Si-woo let Soo Ah-rin go first with a bitter smile. Caina and Beto were still staring at her. He decided to organize everything he couldn’t deliver due to the lack of circumstances.
“Caina, you stand beside me and help me. I’ll have to check later to see if I can take you to the Ant Cave dungeon, but I’m sure it’ll be possible…Oh, but I’ll let you stay with Beto when you’re not in combat.”
[Thank you, master. Everything changed in a good way thanks to you. I’ll do anything I can.]
Oh, Caina’s enthusiasm was just as high as Beto’s. Was this what happened when a new path was opened for those who had lost everything and gained nothing but despair? He didn’t really want to do charity work, but it didn’t hurt to see them happy.
“Okay, you can rest here with Beto.”
“Okay, yes.”
Caina and Beto faced each other and carefully held hands before picking one of the stone buildings built in the residential area and went inside. They looked so friendly that it made him forget that one of them was an artificial magical creature. He hoped that he wouldn’t get punished because he called them siblings. Jung Si-woo turned around with those useless thoughts.
“Was it a mistake to send Ah-rin ahead? …I should have washed up first.”
He walked to the resting place with regret. Fortunately, Soo Ah-rin had no energy, so she came out of the shower quickly. He fell asleep faster than anyone. He was sleeping three seconds after lying on the bed.
He dreamt of a dragon different from others.
