“Hum hum ~ huhumhum~?.”
The cheerful strides. There was an old man who was singing while walking happily.

It was fire so it matched well with me. It was great. Unfortunately, I couldn’t collect all the equipment there. I didn’t know that if I didn’t pick up the equipment within a certain period of time, they would disappear. I had felt like crying at the sight of the equipment disappearing and the money I had forsaken. Then I burst into tears when I found the item that Supreme Fire Dragon had dropped.
“Keke, I have good luck today.”
Today somehow felt like a good day. I could see the gates in the distance. I stepped inside, patting the shoulders of the soldiers who saluted me. At this moment, I received a whisper.
-Drain:Mister Choi.I have finished.The clothes you commissioned are complete. Will you come to where I am?
What was this? Was there such a coincidence?
-Jackson:I understand.I’ll go soon.
I moved toward Drain’s store. Rather than being a glamorous place, his store—located in a corner of Mulan—was covered with cobwebs. His passion was always roaring even if flies were around him. I subconsciously arrived at Drain’s place as I was thinking.
“Wow, I finished the elegant clothes and I think they will go very well with Mr Choi.”
...It was a very knowledgeable way of speaking. His slick tongue was fantastic. As expected, those who studied abroad were different. I wanted to copy his manner of speaking for a while.
“Wow, thank you. I’d love to see it. Wow!”
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is frowning at the strange tone.]
Ignorant guy. This was English. English. Tsk, what did this person know? I followed him into the studio. I could see the cobwebs the moment I entered. I was a bit sad at the thought of the best designer in South Korea working in a place like this. “Why don’t you move your workshop to a better place?”
“Wow, that’s a good point. However, I wanted to start again with a new heart here. I want to touch all the fabric here with my original first heart.”
First heart...
They were good words. Maybe I was losing my original heart. Sometimes, I thought it would be nice to look back on myself. We arrived at a place covered with white fabric.
“Wow, this is it.”
He removed the white fabric and revealed white chef’s clothes on the mannequin. It seemed plain on the surface. Was there a mistake?
“I will talk about this outfit...”
He started to explain the clothes. I didn’t want to hear a long explanation. I didn’t want to hear an explanation I wouldn’t understand. I looked at the clothes he made.
[Zigma\'s Strange Cooking Uniform Jacket - Set (Chef Mode)]
[Rating: Rare
Durability: 150/150 Defense 10
Fitness +5
-Zigma\'s Strange Cooking Uniform Jacket
-Zigma\'s Strange Cooking Uniform Pants
-Zigma\'s Strange Cooking Uniform Shoes
-Zigma\'s Strange Cooking Uniform Gloves
-Zigma\'s Strange Cooking Uniform Soft Hat
A strange cooking uniform made by the still unknown designer Drain, who carefully wove the leather of the goblin tribe chief Zigma with other materials. Pulling the thread inside can transform it into a suit.
-All stats will double in ‘suit’ mode.
-All dishes will be cooked twice as fast in ‘chef’ mode.
-This is an item with a set effect.
-There will be a +20 increase to all stats when the set is worn.
-Special skills when wearing all of the set: Zigma Transformation is available.]
Was this okay? The clothes exceeded my expectations. I liked the option of doubling the cooking speed and I also liked the ability to dress up when pulling at the thread. I wondered what it would look like when I wore it. By the way, Zigma Transformation? Why was this here? It seemed to be a wrong option. Still, it didn’t matter. I could finally part with that damn smelly goblin armor. I could also take off the pants marked by Cer.
“Speaking of this area, I turned the leather over and...”
Shit, he was still explaining. I’m sorry but the words were entering one ear and going out the other. From the jacket to the pants, shoes, gloves, and hat. After checking all the information, I coughed and urged him. “Cough, can I try it on?”
“Wow, of course. You want to try on the clothes as quickly as possible. Huhuhu.”
The reason why didn’t matter. I would let him repeat his words as long as I could wear it quickly. In fact, it was too hard for me to hear the explanation.
“That’s right. Keke.”
“Okay, wait a minute.”
Drain approached the mannequin, took off the clothes, and handed it to me. I changed my clothes in front of him. It was virtual reality so I could wear it right away with just a touch without the need to take my clothes off.
“Wow, Mr Choi’s white beard with the white chef’s uniform is really classy and elegant. Wow, beautipul! Wow, this fit! Wow... wonderuful!”
He scanned me up and down and let out satisfied ‘wows.’ My reflection in the mirror was pretty cool. I pulled the green thread on the inside. Oh, this was even cooler. My reflection in the mirror was instantly dressed in a light-green suit like a magician. I was amazed and after seeing the transformation several times, I could see Drain’s reaction.
“Wow...! God!”
I didn’t speak English but I could understand the word ‘God.’ How surprised was he to look for God? Drain was probably a religious man. He seemed like a devout Christian.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is nodding.]
I immediately opened my status window.

My overall stats had risen. I smiled with satisfaction and added two points to strength and agility. I couldn’t help swaying from side to side like a performer. Just wait, Mido. I would save her soon.
“Kuhahaha!” I started laughing excitedly.
* * *
“Uwaaaaaah! You stupid bastards!”
Ppak!Ppak!Pak!
“Kuock!”
“Kup!”
“Eek!”
Dozens of men fell as their butts were hit with baseball bats. Their faces were red as they endured the pain.
“How can so many people lose to one old man? Can you call yourself a Fire Dragon? Eh?!”
“I’m sorry, Big Brother!!”
Dozens of men shouted at the same time, echoing through the building. The person mercilessly hitting their butts with the baseball bat... It was Supreme Fire Dragon who was beating his subordinates.
“You dare call yourselves brothers of Supreme Fire Dragon?!!!” Supreme Fire Dragon continued to hit his subordinates’ butts while screaming angrily. “Shit! How could that item drop? How much did it cost?!’
A few days ago, he spent half of the money his organization collected to buy one item—the Ifrit Bracelet. Originally, the bracelet was used by magicians who used fire magic. However, Supreme Fire Dragon accidentally changed to the hidden class ‘Fire Berserker’ and was able to obtain the fire attribute attack damage. He saw the bracelet at an auction and thought he had to buy it without fail. The problem was that it was too expensive...
‘It was so hard to get a loan from the bank... uhhhh!!!’
However, this wasn’t the real problem.
‘If I want to pay off the loan interest right away, I have to sell a better item. What should I do?’
In the meantime, he had his younger brothers ambush the beginners passing through Mulan to take away rare items. The items they obtained weren’t sold at the auction house but were sold on the dark gamer’s homepage, Dark Country. This allowed them to trade without any fees and they used the cash transaction to pay the loan interest. However, now it wasn’t easy.
‘Ugh. I was so angry those guys rejected my offer that I killed them with a single stroke and now this happened... it is the only way.’
“Stand up.”
The sight of 50 people standing up at the same time was quite spectacular. Supreme Fire Dragon ordered them, “From now on, use your personal money to buy equipment and focus on leveling up.”
“Huh? Where are we acting now...?”
“Windia. We will go there.”
Supreme Fire Dragon’s fiery eyes looked out the window.
‘Damn old man. Just wait. I will surely get back Ifrit’s Bracelet!’
* * *
Knock knock.
“It is Kim Jisu.”
“Come in.”
The door opened and a glamorous woman in high heels entered. Her name was Kim Jisu. She was Yoo Minseok’s secretary.
“By the way, has Jinchul found a clue to who got the hidden legend?”
“No. No one is standing out yet.”
“Really? It is very frustrating.”
Yoo Minseok had been struggling lately. He needed to find the main character of the hidden legend but no one stood out among the high rankers. He lowered the search limit to level 200 and above but it was the same.
‘Where the hell are you hiding? Dipper Star\'s Beloved.’
Kim Jisu put something on his desk as he was rubbing his temples.
“What is this?”
“They are questions and suggestions from users that have accumulated so far.”
He frowned when he saw the pile of papers. So much had already piled up... Yoo Minseok sighed. “Hah. Secretary Kim, can’t I do this next time?”
“it isn’t possible. There is already a backlog of 10,000.”
“Shit, I know so go out”
Kim Jisu left with the clacking sound of her high heels. She was a great resource but she was too cold. People should be more relaxed...
“Sigh, I can’t put it off any longer. Shall I read through it?”
“Hmm...”
Yoo Minseok seriously read the messages from the users. It was his job to confirm this and it was why he worked here. However...
“Huh...? What is this?”
[This???clas?ss??can’t.angry?s harm. Fun game. Don’t have ? fun. In spite o ???? ?. Thank you.]
-68 year old Choi Chuntaek (Jackson)]
“......”
He was at a loss for words. How should he interpret this? The only thing he could recognize was the final ‘Thank you.’ In any case, it was a message of thanks from a grandfather.
“Grandfather, I appreciate your heart. I’m sorry but I can’t figure it out.”
Yoo Minseok sighed and threw the paper into the shredder under his desk.
“Good! Let’s read more with this grandfather’s support and strength.”
Yoo Minseok slapped his cheeks in order to wake up. He didn’t know the Dipper Star\'s Beloved he was looking for was being cut by the paper shredder.
