Chapter 1978 – 1978. God’S Atlantis
Leaving the screaming Omikos behind, I turned my gaze to Fafnir’s corpse.
Acquiring District 1,399, the Rhine River, was just a bonus. My real purpose was the dragon’s byproducts.
The corpse remained, not disappearing. This corpse itself was a treasure.
I plunged Gram’s blade deep into Fafnir’s corpse. The blade sank in without hitting anything. Bones and flesh were cut as I moved the sword.
Like a professional dismantler, I separated the dragon’s bones and flesh. Thanks to the wisdom of the Golden Grail, Fafnir’s structure was clear to me. I could instantly feel where and how to cut. I separated the flesh and organs without hesitation.
‘The smell of blood is a bit strong. Has it started to rot even though it hasn’t been a minute since it died?’
I decided to keep the scales and discard the blood and flesh. Unlike other dragons, Fafnir was a cursed dragon. If I ate or kept it carelessly, I might be cursed.
‘I should take the bones and claws. They’re much better than any steel.’
Among the dragon’s byproducts, the most important is the heart. The source of the dragon’s power. It’s not for nothing that people call it the dragon heart. I carefully tore out the dragon heart. Due to its size, the heart was as big as my upper body.
「Fafnir’s Heart
The heart of the evil dragon, Fafnir.
It is mixed with mana and the power of curse.
Rank: SS」
‘Fortunately, unlike the blood, the heart is fresh.’
I put the dragon heart into my inventory. Next, I began to dismantle the bones, flesh, and organs. It was annoying, but I had to do it. All of these would be helpful to me. And I might need something else to strengthen the Hwaryeon Flying Daggers.
‘Let’s throw it away if it starts to rot even a little. The blood and flesh are rotting right away. The organs are holding up a bit better?’
The dragon’s lungs.
An organ that spews out black flames and curses. It might not be as valuable as the dragon heart, but it would still be worth a lot.
「Fafnir’s Lungs
The lungs of the evil dragon, Fafnir.
It has strong resistance to fire and curses.
Rank: A」
「Fafnir’s Bones
The bones of the evil dragon, Fafnir.
It has strong curse resistance.
Rank: A」
「Fafnir’s Eyes
The eyes of the evil dragon, Fafnir.
If you eat them, you might be able to awaken a magic eye.
Rank: S」
「Fafnir’s Horns
The horns of the evil dragon, Fafnir.
They contain more power than Fafnir’s bones.
Rank: S」
「Fafnir’s Brain
The brain of the evil dragon, Fafnir.
You might be able to obtain forbidden knowledge.
Rank: A」
「Fafnir’s Scales
The scales of the evil dragon, Fafnir.
They are very hard and have excellent magic resistance.
Rank: A」
「Fafnir’s Claws
The claws of the evil dragon, Fafnir.
They are harder and stronger than any metal.
You will be cursed if you are hit by the claws.
Rank: S」
“Really. What a generous dragon.”
I grinned. If a necromancer saw this, they would go crazy. And for a skilled blacksmith, it would be the highest-grade material.
‘With this amount, I could make several sets of Fafnir armor.’
Just thinking about it made me feel good.
I took out Fafnir’s stomach, which was larger than the heart. The stomach was much larger than the other organs. Considering Fafnir’s body, which was larger than most buildings, it was natural.
‘Rather, the heart is too small compared to its size.’
I felt something inside Fafnir’s stomach. A mysterious power, you could say. It wasn’t a power that threatened me.
‘I wonder what’s inside. Should I cut it open?’
I cut open Fafnir’s stomach with Gram. Gastric juices splashed out. There was no sign of food.
‘Either it didn’t eat, or it’s already all digested.’
Either way, it wasn’t important.
What was important was the shiny thing inside the stomach. I picked it up and held it up to the sky. It was a ring. A very simple yet ornate gold ring that sparkled in the sunlight.
「Andvari’s Ring
You can use Andvari’s warehouse.
You can take out items from the warehouse at any time through the ring.
Every time you have 100,000kg of gold in Andvari’s warehouse, all stats increase by 1.
Currently, 201,607kg of gold is in the warehouse. All stats increase by 2.
You can create 1kg of gold once a day.
You can temporarily increase your stats by consuming the gold you have.
The moment the wearer falls into the desire for gold, Andvari’s curse is placed on the wearer.
Rank: SSS」
‘It creates 1kg of gold a day.’
A ring that creates gold.
1kg is roughly 80 million won. 80 million won is created for free every day. But I was indifferent.
‘I need 100 tons to raise my stats. It means it will take 100,000 days to get 100 tons.’
100,000 days converted to years is roughly 274 years. It was practically impossible to fill the warehouse and raise my stats with the power of Andvari’s ring alone.
And gold wasn’t special either.
‘If I squeeze the slave bastards, they’ll produce gold. Power is magic.’
Disappointment filled my eyes as I looked at the ring.
‘It’s not even good for use as a subspace since I have an inventory.’
The conclusion was.
‘It’s not very useful.’
Still, it was an SSS-ranked item, so it was too good to give away.
‘Well, it’s not bad that all my stats go up by 2. For me now, even one stat is a blessing.’
I put the ring on my right index finger. The ring looked good, so I was somewhat satisfied with the fit.
‘Status window.’

‘I’ve gotten stronger again today.’
I looked at Fafnir’s corpse. The flesh and blood were rotting rapidly. There was too much to put in my inventory.
‘I thought it wouldn’t be very useful… but I can put it in the warehouse. It’ll rot if I just leave it, so I need to freeze it. I think the AP store sold freezing scrolls.’
Then I suddenly realized that there was a rat in Andvari’s warehouse. If I carelessly put food there, the rat might eat it. A rat eating dragon meat?
‘This is bullshit. I need to kill the rat first. No, if it was a subspace, I wouldn’t have these problems!’
It wasn’t just the rat. There was a possibility that other humans could raid the warehouse.
‘How can this be SSS rank?’
I couldn’t help but click my tongue.
“Ugh, aaaaah….”
I finished cleaning up. Omikos was still dying, his back pierced by the Grim Reaper’s scythe. I looked at him, clicked my tongue, and threw him into the warehouse.
“You’re the warehouse keeper now. Guard the warehouse.”
Whoooosh.
I opened the door to Andvari’s warehouse. The space rippled, and the warehouse door appeared. I grabbed Omikos’s head and threw him inside.
Thud.
Omikos hit his head on the rippling space and fell to the floor.
“It won’t go in. Living things can’t go in. Is that it?”
That was the condition of my inventory.
‘I can’t just leave this bastard here.’
If other guys rescued him, and he started spouting nonsense, I would be in trouble.
I clicked my tongue, dragged him, and went directly into Andvari’s warehouse, throwing Omikos inside. The Grim Reaper, who had been following me, began to stab Omikos’s back with his scythe as soon as he fell to the floor. Judging by the look of it, Omikos seemed destined to suffer forever.
-It’s here! It’s here! A new master has arrived!
A rat that had been hiding crawled out and made a fuss.
Should I stomp it to death?
It was then. As if it had sensed my killing intent, the rat prostrated itself at my feet. It was like a human worshipping an emperor.
“You’re just a rat, but you know a thing or two.”
-I serve the new master!
“If you want to be my slave, then do it. Your role is to guard this warehouse. No. You’re too weak to guard it. Just hide and watch if anyone invades. And remember it and tell me later.”
Considering the rat’s intelligence, I wondered if that was even possible… But this rat looked quite special.
-Understood! Can I eat those?!
The rat jumped up. It pointed with its front paws at the rapidly rotting dragon meat. Half of it looked like it would rot before I could freeze it.
“Go ahead.”
-Good! Good! I pledge my loyalty!
“Yeah.”
I didn’t know what to do with the rat’s loyalty. Should I just kill it? Now that I thought about it, having a rat in the warehouse was unpleasant.
Tatatatatata!
The rat ran off with great energy. Not towards Fafnir’s dragon meat, but towards Omikos.
The rat began to gnaw at Omikos’s face.
“Aaaaaaaah! Get away! You rat bastard!”
Omikos tried to swing his arms at the rat, but the Grim Reaper cut off both of Omikos’s arms with his scythe. The rat gnawed at the struggling Omikos.
-Delicious!
From the rat’s point of view, it had obtained an endless supply of meat.
The Grim Reaper and the rat seemed to get along well.
‘Is it because they’re both symbols of misfortune?’
The rat looked back at me.
Squeak! Squeak squeak! Squeak!
It was babbling, but I didn’t know what it was saying.
‘The alcohol is wearing off.’
I scratched my crotch and watched the ridiculous scene, then turned around. I had a lot to do.
Before closing the warehouse door, the endless supply of meat reached out to me, begging.
“H-help me! Please!”
“No.”
Bang!
I closed the door and came outside.
Now I had to go to Olympus and find Hephaestus’s forge.
‘Before that, I need to take care of some things.’
The rebellion, or rather, the not-rebellion of the slave bastards in the second village. The guys who implied that they were being backdoored, though they didn’t say it directly to Fafnir.
‘If I kill them all, it’ll be hard to get supplies… I should gather all the slaves and kill about 10 of them as an example.’
How dare they rebel!
