Part 2 Chapter 128: When Did I? / 852
TL: Hanguk
It had already been a month since Sejun started doing the Proxy Creator God work.
During that time, Sejun steadily received Magic Power Control Training from Ute every week.
In between, he acted on behalf of the Creator God to correct twisted Causality and accumulated about 5 hours of time for <Unique Power: Temporary Creator God>.
And
[You have succeeded in absorbing 1% of the Essence of Lightning.]
[You have succeeded in absorbing 1% of the Essence of Earth.]
By diligently absorbing the orbs made by splitting Essence into 100 pieces and combining opposing attributes together, he absorbed 3% of Essence per attribute and passed the Great Colorless Dragon's Trial up to the 35th trial.
What helped him absorb Essence quickly was that <Unique Power: Weak Attribute Affinity> and the Great Black Dragon's Heart Fragment, Great White Dragon's Heart Fragment, and Great Golden Dragon's Heart Fragment came under the control of the Great Colorless Dragon's power.
<Unique Power: Weak Attribute Affinity> reduced the aftereffects from absorbing nine attributes and supported him so he could quickly consume the next orb.
In particular, absorbing the Darkness, Light, and Lightning attributes was possible with almost no aftereffects thanks to the Black Dragon's Heart Fragment, Great White Dragon's Heart Fragment, and Great Golden Dragon's Heart Fragment.
“Hehehe. Then should I first just absorb the Essence of the attributes that have hearts and pass the trial up to the 100th trial?”
So Sejun tried to quickly pass the trial by absorbing only the Essence of Darkness, Light, and Lightning.
He tried to reduce his greed in his own way and only absorb 30% each of the Essence of Darkness, Light, and Lightning, but
“Sejun, that is too dangerous! Are you going to die alone and leave me behind?!”
“Meow?! Chairman Park, why are you trying to commit suicide, meow?! You cannot, meow!”
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Sejun-nim's body is fragile! You'll get into big trouble doing that!"
Kueng! Kueng!
[Dad, you shouldn't be greedy! If the balance of attributes collapses, Dad's body will break!]
Kking! Kking?! Kking!
[Butler! Your body belongs to great Blackie! Are you not taking proper care of it?! Great Blackie will get angry!]
"Dad, if you keep eating just because it's sweet, you'll get sick. Even Taecho knows that."
Everyone stopped him.
On the outside, Sejun’s body looked fine, but if the balance of each attribute was not maintained, the balance could break in an instant like a dam with a hole, and then Sejun’s body could collapse all at once.
Anyway, because of the group’s dissuasion, Sejun was able to live a peaceful life while absorbing Essence in a balanced way.
“Hmhmmhmm.”
Today as well, Sejun was cooking in the kitchen as usual.
But I wonder how many worlds I've saved?
Sejun suddenly became curious about how much progress his Job Quest had made, so he checked the quest. It had been about four months since he started the reconstruction project. In Sejun’s view, about 2,100 would be appropriate by now.
But
[Job Quest: Reconstruct 10,000 worlds heading toward destruction.]
2217/10,000
“Huh?”
It is a bit more than I thought?
The number of reconstructed worlds was about 100 more than Sejun had expected.
As Sejun was puzzled,
[Sejun-nim, that is because the worlds you saved while carrying out the Proxy Creator God missions were also counted together.]
[System Eok-Samchiri] resolved Sejun’s question.
[Thanks to me, all your questions are answered, right?]
[Sejun-nim, this is how capable I am.]
[System Eok-Samchiri] was trying to show off his competence, but
"I know, right. If the capable Eok-Samchiri had told me in advance, I wouldn't have been curious and how nice would that have been? Right?"
[...That is true.]
"Eok-Samchiri, are you not going to get it together? Huh?! Do you want to be impeached?!"
[I am sorry!]
It only got scolded by Sejun.
Just as Eok-Samchiri was being scolded by Sejun like that,
“Chairman Park! I am back, meow! And there is big news, meow!”
Theo, who had been sent to the Great Black Tower to find land deeds so that Iona could have a date, returned just 1 hour after leaving.
“Kyung....”
Of course, Iona’s expression was not good.
Iona, I am sorry. Theo really lacks awareness.
I'll make time for another date later.
Sejun felt sorry for Iona and
“Why? Did you find something good?”
He asked Theo. Feeling sorry was one thing, and being curious was another.
“Puhuhut. No, meow! But it is even better news than that, meow!”
“Even better news? What is it?”
“Puhuhut. I heard a new baby dragon will hatch soon in the Great Red Dragon Clan, meow! Let us go and show the naming skills of the great hybrid Chairman Park, meow! And let us receive the reward for naming, meow!”
“Oh! Shall we?”
At Theo’s words, Sejun’s shoulders naturally tensed up. When it came to naming skill, he did not think he would lose to anyone. No. Could he even lose?
Like that, the rumor that Sejun would name the newly born baby dragon spread inside the Kindergarten of Destruction,
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Let us go quickly!]
Blackie hurriedly grabbed a bag and ran over to Sejun. Wagging his tail excitedly.
30 minutes later.
[You have arrived at the 99th floor of the Great Black Tower.]
"Ahem. I have specially come on a business trip to name the baby dragon of the Great Red Dragon Clan."
“Puhuhut. The great namer hybrid Chairman Park has come, meow! Bring the baby dragon, meow!”
Kihihit. Kking! Kking!
[Hehe. The butler’s baby dragon naming show will start soon! Everyone, come watch!]
When Sejun appeared with the group on the 99th floor of the Great Black Tower and said he would name the baby dragon,
-Hey! Who told Sejun?!
Ramter's face was filled with panic.
Ramter had enjoyed watching Sejun’s naming show. It was good when he was watching, but when it became his own situation, it was nothing but anxiety.
But he didn't have the confidence to tell Sejun now that his naming skills were bad. They had come too far.
“Puhuhut. Ramter-nim, I, Vice Chairman Theo, told Chairman Park, meow! Did I do well, meow?!”
Theo spoke to Ramter with an expression that said he naturally deserved praise.
-Sigh. Theo, who did you hear it from?
“Kaiser-nim told me, meow!”
-Kaiser, you...!
When Ramter glared at Kaiser,
-Khahahaha. Ramter, what are you worried about? Our Sejun’s naming skill is the best! Look at our Ace?! Bongryong Ace Pritani, how well he named it?!
Kaiser answered with a hearty laugh.
-Hahaha. That's right! Ramter, I'm really envious. I wish our Great White Dragons would have a baby dragon soon so I could ask Sejun for naming too.
-Exactly. I am really jealous.
Kellion and a few Clan Leaders agreed with Kaiser’s words and looked at Ramter with envious eyes. They truly thought Sejun’s naming skill was really good.
Am I the only normal one?
When Ramter looked around to find a way out of this dizzying situation, Crisella and Kin were shaking their heads.
Only two others shared his thoughts.
Everyone else was on Sejun’s side.
‘But if I oppose Sejun’s naming here, will Crisella and Kin really take my side?’
Leaving aside fighting with the other Clan Leaders, Sejun might get sulky.
Then the alcohol and snacks he had been enjoying until now might get cut off too.
‘No. There is no way those guys would try to bear that risk!’
In the end, it would become a situation where he alone opposed it. On top of that, he absolutely opposed a situation where his alcohol and snacks got cut off as well.
“Hm.”
Still, Bongryong Ace Pritani was really good. Maybe he names Great Dragon Clan members well.
Ramter tried to hold onto a ray of hope.
-Sejun, this is the hope of our Great Red Dragon Clan. Please give a wonderful name.
In the end, he allowed Sejun to name the baby dragon.
“Puhuhut. Just leave it to me.”
Then the Great Red Dragon’s egg appeared in front of Sejun,
“Let me see....”
Sejun carefully examined the red egg and began to look for keywords to use for naming.
At that moment,
Pajik.
Suddenly the egg cracked and a great dragon clan member was born.
“Kya!”
“Uheok!”
Startling Sejun.
“Ppuhihi. Fool.”
The newly born great baby red dragon mocked Sejun, who was greatly startled by her prank, and
Bbak. Bbak.
She broke the egg and pulled her two hind legs out of the egg.
And
“Ppuit!”
Bbak!
She pushed again and pulled out her tail too. Perhaps because she was still young, her body color wasn't bright red but had a pinkish hue.
Like that, the pink baby dragon that had pulled her face, two hind legs, and tail out of the egg stood as proudly as she could and looked up at Sejun. She seemed to want to show off her dignified appearance.
But
"You little one...."
She's ill-mannered, but too cute.
That appearance was just cute. Sejun's bad feelings were partially diluted by the baby dragon's cuteness.
Originally, he was going to name her Cervantes, but
‘It is not to that extent. Cer... should be enough?’
He decided to go easy on her.
So to part of the name the Creator God had requested
Since she's pink...
“Your name is Cer... Pink. Cerpink Zahir.”
He added Pink and named the great baby red dragon Cerpink.
When Sejun’s naming ended,
-Cerpink?!
-It is okay?!
-It is so good!
-As expected of Sejun!
The Clan Leaders who had been eavesdropping from afar nodded and praised him, saying it was as expected of Sejun, and
-Cerpink Zahir...
It is so good!
Ramter also nodded with a satisfied smile.
"Puhuhut. As expected of the great Chairman Park, meow!"
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. This time, fortunately, Sejun-nim named her well.”
Kuehehehe. Cuengi!
[Hehehe. As expected, Dad is a genius at naming!]
“Hehe. If it's Cerpink, it shares the same Pink syllable ending as Taecho-ping, so is it Taecho’s younger sister?” (TL Note: In Korean, "pink" (핑크, ping-keu) and "ping" (핑, ping) both share the same "핑" syllable.)
The group was naturally satisfied with Sejun’s naming.
Grrr. Kking?! Kking?!
[Grr. Butler! Are you not going to get it together?! How could you name her like that?!]
“Sejun-nim, I am disappointed.”
Kkiruk.
Sharalang.
...
..
.
Except for Blackie’s family.
As soon as Sejun’s naming ended,
[The effect of <Power: Naming> has been activated.]
The power activated.
And
[You have used the name of the Ancient Elemental God of Fire ‘Cer’ in naming.]
“Huh?”
When did I?
Something Sejun hadn't intended happened.
[The status of the recipient of the naming can sufficiently bear the name of the Ancient Elemental God of Fire ‘Cer’.]
[A special effect has been imbued in the name Cerpink.]
[All stats have increased by 10,000.]
[You have inherited the Ancient Elemental God of Fire Cer’s <Unique Power: Small Fire Festival>.]
When the special effect was imbued in Cerpink Zahir's name
-Ancient Elemental God of Fire Cer?
-Was there such a god?
-It is probably the name of a god that existed before the current Creator God-nim.
-When did our Sejun even study ancient history?
The great dragons marveled at Sejun’s naming skill and effort(?).
At that moment,
“Cer-Pink... Ppuhihi! I love it so much! Thank you for giving me a good name!”
Cerpink, who had received the name, hugged Sejun’s leg and diligently rubbed her cheek against Sejun’s leg,
“Hmm?”
I smell meat grilling somewhere?
"Chairman Park, your pants are on fire, meow!"
Because of the heat created by friction, Sejun’s pants started to burn.
“Ack! Fire! Ah! It is hot!”
Sejun flailed around to put out the fire.
“Chairman Park, stay still so I can put out the fire, meow!”
“Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of water....”
Kueng!
[Dad, Cuengi will put it out!]
Kking! Kking!
[Butler! Stay still! Great Blackie will lick it out!]
The group chased Sejun around and put out the fire in their own ways.
And
“Cerpink! Why did you set Dad on fire! That's a bad thing to do!”
Taecho started to scold Cerpink, but
"Who are you to lecture me?!"
Still 1-day-old puppy that didn't know to fear the tiger, 1-day-old Cerpink Zahir courageously talked back.
And
“You are talking back to your Taecho-ping unnie?! Then the back of the head!”
Thwack!
Just as she learned from Theo, Taecho swung and smacked Cerpink on the back of the head.
“Why... why are you hitting Cerpink?!”
"Huh? You didn't faint? Come here. Let me hit you some more."
“Ppuang! I do not want to!”
“Then from now on, you will listen well to unnie!”
“Yeah! I will listen well to unnie!”
"You should say 'yes, unnie'!"
"Yes, unnie! Satisfied?"
"You need to speak politely to your elders!"
“Yes, unnie. Are you satisfied?”
“Yeah.”
Like that, as soon as Cerpink was born, Taecho strictly started disciplining her.
