As he was peeling an apple, Lee Hyun was drooling over the idea of gaining more items.
Not even a shred of guilt as he began to scheme!
“Ah, damn it, he was broke. How can he not drop many items when he died?”
He carefully peels the apple as he speaks in guile.
Even if she were to watch the broadcast, she still wouldn’t be able to know what items he had acquired. It was because Kubichya died while he was inside Weed’s mouth.
‘Is it too much if I say only one item came out? But it was a boss…. it was also a monster related to a quest, she might doubt my claims later.’
Lee Hyun then spoke in a small voice.
“Still, it wasn’t all that bad. What came out were 5 equipment items, or was it 3? Ah, it was 4. Anyway, that’s what he dropped when he died.”
He originally got 5 items but thought of reducing it somewhat by 2. However, if there were only 3 items to split up, one person will only get one item.
Eventually, he compromised with 4 items so it can be divided by 2 while looking less suspicious.
“I think Kubichya was wearing very good equipments. But frankly, I think that it is unlikely that we will be able to wear those equipments.”
As Lee Hyun continued to speak, he was also feeling frustrated. It was because he wasn’t able to check the items that he had acquired.
‘In order to divide them, I needed to properly determine their value first.’
In Versailles Continent’s time, they had approximately spent a few months of hardships together. In the course of their adventure, Seoyoon had contributed a lot so anymore deceit would be unfair to the effort she had displayed.
After all, it is only common sense to divide the items equal to the contributions.
However, one item was removed so she only gets 2 items where 3 items would have been a proper reward!
‘Good. It seems she has no complaints.’
Seoyoon covered her mouth with the tea cup and gently smiled in relief. Her natural smile was like from a different dimension compared to Lee Hyun’s rotten smile.
When Lee Hyun created the Freya Statue, he had imagined the beautiful Seoyoon smiling.
And right now, in front of his eyes, her smile exuded such a charm that he can’t help but feel attracted to her!
But Lee Hyun could not even look at her straight in the eye.
It was not because he haphazardly lied about the items he acquired from Kubichya but because of her expression, the look in her eyes contained a sign of deep affection.
‘This is getting awkward.’
Lee Hyun then tried changing the topic.
“I’m going to return to cleaning… would you like to help?”
Not even entertaining her but instead gave a proposal to clean the house. Nevertheless, Seoyoon just nodded.
“Let’s sweep the yard first. There are so many leaves collecting.”
While sweeping the yard, Seoyoon was being playful unlike her usual self.
She even tried to sneak some piles of leaves to Lee Hyun’s area!
With the relationship they built up from attending lectures in college and going on to adventures in Royal Road together, she was able to play around.
They then went to clean the chicken coop and as they release the chickens, the smell reeked into the yard.
A perched rooster with an upright comb then went to attend the hens which were accompanying their chicks.
With a lot of cleaning to be done, Lee Hyun had realized that there would be a lot of water splattering so he immediately check the clothes Seoyoon was currently wearing.
‘Approximately around 200,000 won.’
She was wearing quite an expensive coat.
“I’ll clean up this place, how about you do the dishes? After you’re done putting them away, take out the pots and bowls and wash them clean.”
Seoyoon nodded and went inside the house.
With the windows open, the sound of water flowing from the sink can be heard.
A man cleaning the chicken coop and a woman washing the dishes, it was like a scene resembling a young married couple’s life.
‘Having her clean had been a great help so I’ll have to prepare something delicious for dinner.’
Lee Hyun then decided to make a large serving of sweet and sour pork.
CRASH!
Silence then returned, only the sounds of flowing water drifted for a while.
Then the sound of washing dishes could be heard again. But not even a minute has come to pass and yet it happened again…
CRASH!!
While cleaning the chicken coop, Lee Hyun had tears in his eyes.
“A-Are those my dishes?”
Without any sign of a reply, the sound of washing the dishes continued.
Seoyoon earnestly tried to wash the dishes. Although she made a mistake of putting them away with wet hands which had caused it to slip but fortunately, there were no longer any dishes breaking that ensued.
On that evening, Lee Hyun showcased his sweet and sour pork and ate it while watching television!
After watching art and drama programs, it was time for Seoyoon to go home. Lee Hyun then hastily wrapped a book in a newspaper and gave it to her as a gift.
“This book has a lot of life lessons.”
This was the first time in Lee Hyun’s life that he had given a gift to a girl aside from his sister.
“This is absolutely not for the items I obtained in Las Phalanx, just thought you might like to give this a read.”
The title of book was called . (T/N: Probably refers to this book)

In the Versailles Continent, users were listening in the temples of the Dwarves and Elves.
“A divine message has descended upon us. An indomitable warrior had put a stop to the scourge that threatened the peace of the continent.”
“Damn, that’s one extraordinary human.”
“Warriors of the forest, let us go back.”
Warriors that were gathered to organize an expedition have disbanded.
KMC Media have achieved the highest recorded audience ratings and the people watching their broadcast couldn’t even fall asleep until dawn while Bards, in homage to Weed’s adventure, wrote and sang songs.
Oh, Great Hero
We will always remember that in the land of the forgotten was where you had an adventure
Your steps will become the milestones for those who wish to venture
Your sculptures that remained in the various parts of the world
Grants us courage to make our paths unfurled
While Weed reaches the highest of praise, Drinfeld’s reinforcements arrived at Las Phalanx. They were the elites of the Hermes Guild composed of Priests, Wizards, Knights, Assassins, and Thieves.
A representative Knight then began speaking with him.
“If these people aren’t sufficient enough to kill Weed then I shall message Rafael.”
Drinfeld confidently replied:
“These men are enough. With these many Wizards, we’re sure to make this land into Weed’s grave.”
“The pride of Hermes Guild is at stake, handle this flawlessly.”
Facing the Necromancer has been there constant worry but now with the additional Priests, the natural enemy of the undead, they will be able cleanse them.
Through the broadcast of KMC Media, they were able to know that Weed can transform into a Dragon so they were now extremely wary of him.
“For the honor of the Hermes Guild, we must kill him.”
“Wizards, Priests, and Knights…. we will certainly stab him to death.”

When Weed had reconnected, he was back at Inferno Dungeon where the race war took place.
The aftermath of the fierce battle has left the area disfigured with plenty of melted rocks and scattered remains.
“Ahem.”
After dying twice while in his modified Lich form, Weed has now returned as a human.
“I have to check how much level and skill proficiency I have lost as well as the items I acquired from Kubichya.”
Level and skill proficiency were confirmed first before the items acquired.
“Stat Window, Skill Information Window!”
Two levels had dropped making his current level at 383 while Sculpture Mastery dropped by 25%. Handicraft, Tailoring, Smithing, Sculpting Blade, and his other skills had a dropped between 10-17%.
While brimming with frustration and grief about the reduction of his skills after all the hard work that he has done, Weed immediately pulled out the items he acquired.
The heavy Chaos Daejeonsa Boots and Plate Armor Set, a map, and a sword with a reddish glow, the Red Star!
A smile escaped Weed’s lips.
“Identify!”
He had decided to check the armors first.
