Chapter 565 – The Cursed Throne
“Huh!? Meow-nim disappeared?!”
They were obviously together, but because of the kitty that disappeared in an instant, Senna looks around with a puzzled expression.
“Ah! Space Cosmic Kitty stopped time for a moment and gave me a revelation only. Then he left.”
“Eh!? Why!?”
Seeing Senna puzzled by Seongil’s words. Seong-il is a little dumbfounded by his innocent appearance.
“…You’re not even a follower of Space Nyanko-sama. Why would you bother talking to him?”
“Ah, that’s true… Actually, I think it’s scary, but… I’m a bit sad because you didn’t talk about it.”
“…”
Ignoring Sena’s response, which arouses absurd feelings, Seong-il calmly spreads the revelation he received from Meow-gi to his comrades.
“…What?! A descendant of a star has the last piece?!”
“I see.”
Since it is a bit ambiguous whether it is possible to talk about the origin and truth of the race of descendants of the stars, Seong-il explains the revelation as briefly as possible.
“It’s great, Gaaz. It looks like you’ll be able to achieve your goal faster and easier than you think.”
“Exactly?”
“Yes. It is said that Kitten-sama is giving revelations to the gods of the pantheon. He said that during this subjugation, we will be able to receive direct help from various temples.”
“Hmm…?”
Although he felt that the previous strange existence was definitely not unusual, Gaaz, who heard the brief explanation of Sungil, thinks that he might be a greater existence than he thought.
“Why?”
“…Isn’t there a temple of the great person in the pantheon? By the way, ‘all’?”
In the worldview of the cursed throne world, not only was it almost impossible to distinguish between superiors and inferiors, but the rules stipulated that gods could never command or coerce their opponents, even if the difference in power was severe.
Gaaz, a warrior and disciple of chaos, knows the relationship and rules between these gods quite well, so he is confused because he does not understand the expression of the holy day.
“…He is no ordinary godhead.”
“Isn’t that normal?”
“Yes. It’s not normal.”
Unexpectedly, when the priest who worships a god of great deity and the paladin who worships a great deity come together to protect Kittens, Gaaz’s face, which has always been expressionless, begins to look confused for the first time in a long time.
“…He’s really great. If you’re having trouble believing it, Gaaz-sama, ask your god, the Seeker of Chaos.”
“…”
Originally, he would have strongly refuted Ban’s words, but Gaaz feels the unwavering sincerity in Ban’s face.
“…Okay. Let’s pray separately and ask.”
After answering like that, Arzu shuts his mouth again and starts focusing on the orb he gave him on his holy day.
“Seong-il! I took care of enough!!”
“Oh.”
A welcome sound from outside the treasure house. Hearing the alter ego’s voice, Seong-il leaves the treasure house and greets them.
“Oh oh…”
Then, in front of his eyes, five or six scales the size of an adult’s torso. Looking at the scales that shimmer like a mirror, Seong-il felt that they were the hardest scales to intensively defend the dragon’s heart.
‘Although other scales are good too. According to the setting, the scales in that area were of the highest quality. In the game, the main character actually only took the scales for that part.’
As a hard-core gamer who obsessively digs into the settings, Seong-il was also familiar with the specifications of the dragon in the world of the cursed throne.
‘Among the body parts of a normal dragon in the game, the most powerful and important part was the heart, right? That’s why the affected part is affected the most by the heart, so it’s said that the quality is extremely good.’
With a smile, Seong-il orders his alter ego to take good care of the scales.
“Hehe… I’m not going to take the rest?”
“Can I bring it?”
“But…”
Although the dragon’s corpse is said to be of great value, they are currently scheduled to receive a revelation and a subjugation mission from their god, so they must return to Solanium as soon as possible.
Since they couldn’t stay here forever, all of the colleagues readily agreed with Seong-il’s words to take only the core parts.
‘Honestly, dragon scales aren’t very useful to me…’
After wandering around the world in dimensions, Seong-il came to possess a lot of valuable items.
Because of this, he urges himself not to be too greedy.
‘Honestly, the shadow armor I’m wearing right now isn’t enough. A red dragon’s blood, flesh, and scales are honestly of no use to me, right? It’s not like I’m wearing dragon scale armor in real life. I don’t have to take care of it… Ah!!’
Seong-il thought the huge corpse in front of his eyes was just a gag and tried to hand it over. However, the reaction to him suddenly sends a strange stimulus and inspires him.
‘… Come to think of it, there’s one kid who could use that corpse for something useful, right? If only he could absorb the power from that dragon’s corpse. Maybe I’ll get stronger really quickly?’
Seong-il, who thought so, thinks that he must take care of that dragon’s corpse at any cost.
‘Perhaps… What will happen if I pick up that dead dragon with telekinesis and use the inner plane?’
Just in case, Seong-il gathered all his remaining energy and began to lift the dragon’s corpse with telekinesis.
Coo coo coo.
A huge noise echoes in the dragon’s lair. Seong-il feels that his inner energy is consumed tremendously and begins to gnaw his teeth.
‘It’s so damn heavy…’
The time when I desperately controlled my inner energy and surmounted the dragon. Seong-il carefully casts Inner Plane.
“Oh…! That’s it!!”
Seong-il, who was worried that the transfer would fail because it was the corpse of a huge being. But fortunately, when the dragon’s corpse was safely transported to the inner plane, he let out a sigh of relief.
‘This is an opportunity to try out the features of the Little Pineapple House that I got recently.’
Thinking so, Seong-il moves to the dragon’s nest again.
“Eh!? What did you just do with the dragon’s corpse…?”
“Come to think of it, I thought it would be okay to put his corpse in the space given by God, so I moved it there. Isn’t it a waste?”
“Ooh!! You’re smart, man?”
Fortunately, the party did not express any dissatisfaction with his arbitrary behavior, and Seong-il, relieved by the reaction, continues to talk to change the topic.
“Now, let’s put the goods inside there as well.”
“Agree~!”
“And since we’ve packed all our stuff, let’s take a day off. After all, the sacred space is completely safe from outside attacks.”
“I agree with that too!”
Thanks to Sena’s willingness to accept opinions, Seong-il smiles as a father without realizing it.
Although they were silent, the party also felt great fatigue from the fight with the dragon, so they did not express their dissatisfaction.
***
“Whoa… Dragons are rich! I’ve carried them twice and the treasure is still half left…”
“They’re dragons. They’re a sad race to say the least when it comes to wealth.”
With the help of his colleagues, Seong-il succeeded in moving about half of the treasures in the treasure house to the inner plane.
Perhaps she was anxious about leaving valuable treasures outside, Senna, a thief, tried to finish her work even on her holy day, but her opinion was ignored because the inner plane could only be used three times a day.
“You should have floated a lot of gold coins just like you floated a dragon corpse!!”
“…I’m tired of being a human too?”
Seong-il is feeling extreme fatigue from fighting a dragon. Not only does he feel that her body is getting heavier as time goes on, but he is genuinely puzzled by Sena’s complaints, as her abilities, such as the use of telekinesis, are becoming more and more limited.
“It’s okay. The wealth you have now is enormous. Why are you so greedy?”
And whether Sena’s appearance was quite pathetic, even Bruno, a notorious dwarf who said she was as good as her dragon in terms of her treasure likes, urged her.
“Ah~! I got it. I got it.”
At Bruno’s words, Sena takes the sleeping hamster in her arms and starts trudging towards the Little Pineapple House alone.
“I’m going to wash first!! Everyone, come back later!! Okay?”
“Yes or no.”
After Senna’s words, Bruno replied with a cold expression, then picked up a delicious coke and a lunchbox and started eating.
Seeing her strangely peaceful appearance, her Seong-il falls into thought for a moment.
‘This isn’t bad either.’
A situation where you can spend some time with your colleagues in the game and enjoy your leisure time. Enjoying the sense of leisure, Seong-il turns on augmented reality.
‘Come to think of it… Wasn’t it a ‘sub-quest’ to beat Kasarak’Tarun?’
Realizing something important, Seong-il quickly opens the quest list in the cursed Game of Thrones world.

‘Oops!! What a success!! I have to get the reward right away!!’
When Seong-il presses the award receipt button with a happy expression, a message pops up in front of him.
* You have succeeded in removing the Red Dragon Kasarak’Tarun and recovering the relic. We will give you 100,000 points as a clear reward.
‘Ohh…!!’
Even this morning, Seong-il had a hard time due to depletion of points. When another large point reward is given to him, he cheers loudly inwardly.
‘If you get 100,000 bags this time for the 50,000 bags you received last time…!! If I save a little more, I can buy an incomprehensible ring?!’
Seong-il was very satisfied with this reward because he knew well through past experiences that the more points the better.
“Ah~ It’s refreshing~ Mister, why are you smirking alone?”
As Seong-il lies alone and smirks, Sena, who left the house after taking a shower, frowns and asks him a question.
“Why are you smirking? Of course I’m happy!! I’m a dragon slayer now. Ahem.”
“What are you saying?”
Ignoring Sena’s bewildered attitude, Seong-il goes to the shower to relieve fatigue.
‘Whoa… I think I’ll live.’
As the water pouring from the shower booth starts to hit his body, Seong-il feels his fatigue gradually relieve.
Tring!
“Hmm…?”
In the meantime, a message notification pops up on the augmented reality window out of nowhere. Seong-il, puzzled, pauses the shower and looks at the message.
『Seongil!! I am the only one!! How are you?”
『Oh… One~! I’m fine. You?”
A name I haven’t seen in a long time. Seong-il is happy and immediately asks Hana hello.
“I’m fine with you! Right now, I am studying many things by Dr. Jun’s side every day!!”
『Good. Anyway, what’s the matter?』
On her holy day, she and her Hana share her regards for a while, and earnestly ask her why she contacted her.
“Oh~! Dr. Jun told me to contact you!! The doctor wants to give an interim briefing on research!! I want to hand over the artifacts left by the Hyper group boss the other day!!”
“Ah…”
One reason for contact that makes sense at once. Seong-il recalls that in order to prevent a dispute in the world of Mythology, he commissioned Dr. June from the world of Pocket Girls to research on the awakening of psychic powers.
“If that’s the case, I should go right away. I’m too tired today, so I’m overdoing it. I’ll make sure to see you tomorrow.”
“Yep!! Do that!! Where we are now is…”
That’s how Seong-il begins to briefly share information with Hana. Having recorded all the important points in augmented reality, he finishes taking a shower and heads to his dorm on the second floor with a tired expression.
