Time flows differently in The Initial Dungeon compared to Earth.
For a year spent in The Initial Dungeon, only a minute passed on Earth.
As if envious about that fact alone, I gave up counting how many days passed in the tutorial.
2020 February 3th, 17:09.
The screen kindly reminds me of the time.
“So…”
The last time I could remember was 14:12 on February 2nd, 2020, so it’s been a day and three hours since then.
If I calculated it, I have spent.
1440 alone and then 147 years with Sujin in the tutorial.
A total of 1587 years.
Damn.
If I hadn’t met with Sujin during my time there, I might have lost my mind.
Despite my hard work in this heartless world, only 27 hours have passed on earth. So, nothing has changed.
“Papa?”
“Oh, how cute!”
A daughter that I decided to raise.
Sehwa.
She’s adorable.
Of course, she will be cute even to others.
It’s just….
Sehwa would be a little difficult for a narrow-minded world to accept.
I’ve cast an illusion, so that people only see us as a human father and daughter.
If we cast an illusion, our appearances will change.
As a result, Sehwa will lose her value in The Initial Dungeon.
However, I’m sure there will be no problem even without showing her high-level skills.
The experience from the tutorial accumulated in the soul, not in the body.
The pure soul is the one who defeats the EX-Rank dungeon, The Initial Dungeon. However, the body is merely of an A-Level ordinary, a middle-class Korean citizen!
Originally I was an A-Level ordinary person, but I became stronger after awakening as a hunter.
It was very draining to create such a barrier. Just like that, my mana was depleted.
“To my daughter, for your father to be so weak….. sorry~!”
“Ppa~!”
She looked around and played as much as possible, then reacting to my voice, she looked up at me.
“…..Really? Do you forgive me? Oh, you’re so kind. Just like your mother. You’re the good one! All the bad things, this father will do it for you!”
“Au!”
…….It’s a big deal.
Now Sehwa is covering herself with a soft cloth blanket.
As a hunter who awakened and cleared the tutorial, I came back remaining intact.
Items from the tutorial cannot be brought into reality.
But when Sehwa came with me, Sujin’s blanket for Sehwa was an exception.
Wrapped in a blanket.
She smiles at me brightly and wags her tail without blinking. The sight assaults my heart effectively.
Peace of mind!
Peace of mind, peace of mind, peace of mind— it’s all bullshit.
“Keuaaaaa!”
My mind is like the fluctuating surface of a murky mirror; I can’t calm down.
“Wooo!”
Finally, I couldn’t resist and rubbed my cheek against Sehwa’s cheek.
This soft and fluffy thing dares to touch my cheeks.
Ah!
Compared to the sensation of this paradise, how fleeting were the big and small dark desires in this world?
At least I can go to heaven like this.
Although, I won’t do it.
Because, if I go up to heaven alone, I’ll come down again because I want to see Sehwa. And no one would be able to stop me.
“Ah! Woo!”
With a serious expression, Sehwa bunched up my face with her cute hands.
“Puuuuuuu!”
She also spits in my face.
Cute!
She’s my baby but she is very talented.
Maybe she’s a genius?
But now is not the time to speak like that.
Inevitably, I need to hide Sehwa’s appearance.
How?
Transcendental species usually have two forms: their original form, from which they transcended, and the adopted humanoid form of another species.
Sehwa is a special case, she hadn’t managed to separate the two forms. Hence, the result is a humanoid figure with horns, wings, and even a tail.
But, I need something more than her ‘incarnation state’.
She may look small, but that doesn’t mean she lost her talent.
She has a talent imprinted on my soul. Like it interfered with my system.
Just as the double-mirror effect, the illusion I have cast has an impenetrable and inaccessible effect.
<Look at the Illusion>
The words are imbued with magical power, especially the dragon language. It’s the original language, something akin to the ancient language.
Although it is the language of the dragon, a wizard can use it.
-Hwaak.
When the magic is drawn, the golden color that fills the space has faded.
“Ppaung?”
Of course, it did not change how Sehwa appeared in my eyes. However, because of the barrier, her horns, tail, and wings cannot be seen by other people’s eyes.
-Crack!
I flicked my finger to lift the barrier since we were alone.
“Kkya~ah~!”
Sehwa was excited when the barrier shattered, showing a subtle reaction.
It’s not very good, but they still cost money to obtain.
By the way.
Who writes the description of these items?
There must be a high-ranking person out there who considers himself to be witty.
I don’t know if I have hair loss, but he seems to write it so he can make fun of his subordinate.
“Thank you. Now then.”
The business is over.
“Aah.”
I left these people who couldn’t take their eyes off Sehwa and headed home.
“Where is it?”
Access the bank app and view my account.
The remaining money is about 400,000 won.
Waa!
I feel like I’ve come back to life!
I have to make money.
People need money to live, and raising children especially costs money.
And if that child is a dragon, it costs even more.
Let me see.
5.000.000 won per meal?
