RD | Chapter 31

Jeong Yiwon was playing a game. His room had nothing in it. Just a bed and a wardrobe, with a bathroom attached to a single room. Since he didn’t live with any family, no one complained about him playing games late into the night.

Actually, there was no one anywhere to complain to him. He had no family.

Jeong Yiwon couldn’t remember how he felt when his parents passed away when he was young.

He wasn’t used to thinking about his emotions to begin with. He hadn’t done it for a long time. He preferred killing his emotions and killing time.

Not having to think deeply. Being able to focus on just one thing.

Since gaming was his favorite way to kill time, he was lying on his bed, only looking at his phone.

He knew he had to go to work the next day.

But just a little longer.

Anyway, there was no one to contact…

Jeong Yiwon opened his eyes. And as soon as he got up, he faced a special event.

Rumble…

The dungeon was shaking.

No, it was collapsing.

Ian let out a scream of shock.

“What the heck?!”

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

“Lord Ian! You’re awake! Thank goodness!”

“Lie down quickly! You mustn’t get up!”

“The cave is collapsing!”

‘No way.’

This was a dungeon! There was no way a dungeon would collapse without any event.

People were holding their heads on the floor. Ignoring their gestures to lie down, Ian opened the blinking system notification window.

Ding!
[Emergency!]

The dragon, Actus, sleeping beneath the dungeon has awakened!

‘Why now?!’

Ian reflexively thought, but there was no need to ponder the reason. Hadn’t he been wandering around in front of the dragon not long ago?

‘Damn, I shouldn’t have gone in!’

It seemed he had woken it up then.

Ian regretted the past, but it was too late now.

Krrrrrrrrr!

The dragon’s roar echoed through the dungeon. A sound like something breaking through from the lower floors to the upper ones, and the walls on all sides shook, unable to withstand the impact.

Ian’s body swayed left and right. Contacca caught him as he was about to fall. The werewolf was using his muscular arms as supports while holding Momisia protectively in his arms.

“Defensive formation!”

He shouted to the soldiers. His growling wolf voice cut through the noise.

However, the soldiers were trembling, overwhelmed by the potent magic energy rising from below.

“Argh!”

“Mom!”

Exposure to magic energy chipped away at a character’s mental strength. It could cause various status ailments from depression to lethargy, but the soldiers seemed to be facing the worst of both worlds. They started attacking each other, seeing illusions.

“Stop!”

Contacca pulled apart the fighting humans with his thick arms. Yet, they kept trying to attack each other, so Contacca grabbed their heads and banged them together like cymbals. They lost consciousness and fainted.

Seeing this, Ian felt like he might faint too.

‘Damn it…’

Ian internally cursed and poured all his experience points into <Purification>.

‘I can’t fight that.’

Then, shouldn’t he at least run away?

Ian needed to make sure these crying, fainting, and screaming people could at least get up!

Ding!
[The level of the skill <Purification> has increased.]
[Purification LV.5 → LV.7]

Having driven out a demon duke from the coliseum, the level of purification broke through to high levels in an instant.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Without even having time to feel embarrassed as usual, Ian shouted.

“<Purification>!”

The purification at maximum output dominated the space. To Ian, the dungeon seemed to be filled with light for a moment.

A blinding light that could dazzle the eyes drove away the dungeon’s chill and brought warmth. With the illusion that the season had changed to spring, even the noise the dragon had made stopped momentarily.

Before anyone knew it, the dragon had broken through to where Ian and his group were, sticking its head into the passageway. Its reptilian, yellowish eyes blinked, then it asked.

“Mom?”

“What?”

“Mom?”

The reptile asked again, this time with a suspicious tone.

Ian reflexively used the skill again.

‘<Purification>.’

Whoosh-!

As light spread, the reptile exclaimed.

“Mom!”

‘Does this thing only say one word?’

Ian was curious.

Support us by visiting our official site at lilyonthevalley.com

But that wasn’t what was important. The important thing was that this monster wasn’t attacking him. Recognizing Ian as ‘mom’… or something like that.

‘Could this be a hidden event?’

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

Ian analyzed the situation in a flash. It seemed like the game was set so that if a character with purification level 7 or higher woke the dragon, it wouldn’t be hostile.

Ian thought to himself.

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

Crazy developers, who would level purification up to 7, are they perverts? If not for a good player like me, they’d just abandon the dungeon and run…

But this was worth writing in a strategy guide. Ian was the first to discover it!

…Thinking that far, Ian calmed down.

‘Oh, there’s no internet here.’

But that wasn’t important either.

Ian got excited again.

‘Can I even tame a dragon?’

He cautiously reached out to the dragon, keeping his body ready to flee at any moment. The dragon didn’t attack Ian even though its eyes were wide open.

“Lord Ian, no!” Louise shouted from behind.

Ian placed his hand on the dragon’s forehead.

‘Taming.’

The system window didn’t respond.

“…”

Ian’s mood cooled instantly. At the same time, he was fully awake.

If it’s not taming, what kind of event is this?

The dragon’s scales felt hard on the outside but slightly damp and soft inside, like touching a living reptile.

Ian started to sweat.

“Lord Ian, you’ve tamed the dragon.”

“The dragon isn’t attacking…”

People whispered.

Ian didn’t agree with them. “Shh, be quiet. It seems like it understands.”

Ian spoke as calmly as he could. He had dealt with barking dogs before.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Was it when he was in 5th grade? After beating up a kid who teased him for being an orphan, that kid brought a dog from home.

The dog barked like mad, scaring Ian. But he couldn’t show fear in front of that kid, which was maddening.

Ian threatened the dog’s owner as quietly as possible, so only he could hear. If you don’t leave now, you’re dead by my hands…

Why was he thinking of that time now? Moreover, the people behind weren’t even the dragon’s owner. They couldn’t do anything to the dragon, so why would they being quiet matter?

Then the dragon spoke. “I understand. Why wouldn’t I understand my mom’s words? I was sleeping well as you told me to.”

The dragon spoke like a child, surprising Ian. Could this dragon, which Ian had killed dozens if not hundreds of times in the game, actually be a baby dragon? He felt a bit guilty, or maybe not… since this dragon was more likely to kill him.

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Ian was also curious about something else.

‘Should I correct its address?’

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

If he told it to call him Ian instead of mom, would the dragon kill him?

Not sure, Ian decided to keep quiet for now.

The dragon yawned. Ian almost got blown away.

“When I woke up from the egg… there was something unpleasant, not my mom. I dealt with it and got sleepy again. It was too dark and unpleasant, so I slept again. But then, mom came looking for me… Can I wake up now?”

The dragon rubbed its scales against Ian’s face. Ian felt like his cheeks might fall off.

“Uh… that’s all good. What was your name again?”

Visit Lily on the Valley to read full chapter without gibberish

“Mom? You forgot my name?”

Tears started to fall from the dragon’s large eyes.

Ian snapped back to reality from the tears hitting him. He called up the system window again.

“There’s no way. It’s Actus, right? How could I forget your name?”

‘Thank goodness for the recording function in the system window.’

Ian felt a chill.

Like ‘The Last Werewolf’ Contacca, this dragon was also a character. While Contacca could move with Momisia as a hero, he was more like an NPC since he operated on default settings.

The same went for the dragon.

An NPC who sleeps due to magic energy and wakes up with purification. If the purification level is low, it recognizes the player as an ‘intruder’, and if high, as ‘mom’…

This was indeed a hidden quest.

And the game company was definitely full of bastards.

How could a player level purification up to 7 before the dragon wakes up? It’s impossible unless you’re insane!
