The Necromancer Villain Who Became a Game Novel
Kim Ganghan finished logging out and headed to prepare dinner.
boogle boogle.boogle boogle.
In the pot, a yellow egg custard bubbled and boiled. As he took out the pickled radish and kimchi, the table was suddenly full.
Until just a moment ago, that was the end of it.
But recently, one more step had been added to the routine.
Here it is..
Woof..
With a clatter, the bone and meat were placed in a plastic bowl.
The legendary premium beef that Kim Ganghan himself could barely obtain!
Woof..
He stood there.
The three-legged Jindo dog puppy, Bokdol, ran over and stood in front of the bowl.
Bokdol shook his tail while staring at Kim Ganghan.
One, two, three... good. Eat up..
Woof..
As soon as the permission was given, he buried his face in the bowl right away.
Kim Ganghan's eyes became slightly moist.
Every day, if I give him this much, my eyes will tear up..
It was cheap beef, but it was still beef!
He spent a not insignificant amount of money every single day to add meat to the feed.
But for Bokdol, it's worth investing that much..
After the companion login function was commercialized,
Players could take dogs as partners.
Even though he had to share experience points and couldn't treat him like a tool and just throw him away,
If the chemistry worked out, he could get several times, no, dozens of times the value.
Anyway..
Kim Ganghan stared at Bokdol's body as he ate his rice.
Because he was eating the meat well,
Even though he was a little over a month old, muscles were appearing all over his body.
It's not like a tiger wearing a dog's skin..
The ultimate fighting dog.
A bloodline that inherited the genes of the Asura dog.
There's already killing intent on his back muscles..
Fafnir remembered the first day and shook his body slightly.
Let's go for a walk..
After eating, he couldn't skip exercise either.
But Fafnir's exercise was different.
Not only simple instructions, but also training that assumed actual combat.
Punch!.
Woof..
Roundhouse kick!.
Bow-wow!.
Dragon Cyclone!.
Roar!.
In an empty mountain forest park.
Bokdol's body was doing aerial somersaults.
Oh....
Fafnir clapped his hands.
As expected, he's amazing..
Every time his fist and leg hit, branches exploded out.
Even with only three legs, he was on par with a decent fighting dog.
His strength is a bit lacking, but the power of his limbs compensates for that weakness..
Whipping with his hands and feet was almost bear-level.
When he grew up to be an adult, he might really become the world's best fighting dog.
In the game world, he'll be even stronger..
During the free moments, he searched for his smartphone.
Education methods for raising dogs....
He could somehow train the skills, but the training of pets was a different domain.
He listens well but is a bit silly, huh..
When the game machine came out soon, he wouldn't have time to teach the skills leisurely.
He had to train somehow before that, even if it was just basic attributes.
Should I hire a separate trainer?.
Kim Ganghan, who had been thinking while returning home.
But in front of his house, there was a person he had never expected.
Where have you been? I've been waiting for a long time..
Oh Hanbyul.
The younger sister of the original owner of the body, Oh Jinhwan, crossed her arms.
I was just exercising by taking a walk....
A walk? You went for a walk, oppa?.
Because walking was rare, Oh Hanbyul's eyes became suspicious.
You went to the billiards hall or PC room again?.
At that moment.
Woof! Woof!.
Behind Kim Ganghan, Bokdol appeared.
Eh?.
Sniff....
In front of the surprised Oh Hanbyul,
Bokdol slowly smelled the air and then approached her and rubbed his face against hers.
Hanbyul, so....
Kim Ganghan tried to explain the situation to Oh Hanbyul first.
Wow! A puppy!.
Suddenly, Oh Hanbyul showed a completely different reaction than expected.
Woof-woof! So cute~!.
Huff huff huff..
In the same way, Oh Hanbyul hugged Bokdol.
Bokdol also stuck out his tongue and licked Oh Hanbyul's cheek.
Eh...?
Kim Ganghan tilted his head.
He had expected her to say why he was keeping a puppy when he couldn't even cover his own eyes, but the reaction was unexpectedly good.
What's the puppy's name?.
Bokdol..
Bokdol... Nice name. I thought you knew how to make soup or punching bags..
If it was the real Oh Jinhwan, he might have said that.
...Oppa..
However, Oh Hanbyul's eyes suddenly sharpened when she was about to put down the puppy.
Tell me the truth..
Huh?.
You made this puppy's foreleg like this?.
She saw the missing left foreleg and thought Kim Ganghan had abused it.
If that was the case, she would have kicked him flying right away.
That's not possible..
Kim Ganghan quickly explained.
Don't misunderstand. When I first brought him home, he was like this..
Originally, his legs had rotted, and he was castrated to avoid death, and he received him for free adoption.
He couldn't say he had spent millions to buy him, but
except for that, everything was true.
Hmm... I see..
After the explanation, Oh Hanbyul roughly understood and moved to the main topic.
This is cabbage kimchi, this is diced radish kimchi, this is salted perilla leaves, this is namul, this is soy sauce crab..
Thank you..
A package of side dishes made at the family home!
To Kim Ganghan who was focused on the game, Oh Hanbyul was an indispensable existence.
But why are you raising a puppy?.
Eh?.
You said you weren't raising him before. Why did your heart change?.
It was related to the past of the original owner of the body, Oh Jinhwan.
Did that kind of thing really happen?.
Even though Oh Jinhwan was a villain, he had a story, but since he didn't remember, Kim Ganghan roughly evaded it.
I just thought it would be too bad to just leave him alone..
Hmm....
Oh Hanbyul, who looked doubtful and was about to ask more,
At that moment, Bokdol wagged his tail and blocked her way.
Woof woof!.
Oh gu gu, so cute..
While hugging Bokdol and petting him, Oh Hanbyul asked.
Then, are you training the dog? Like potty training or meal manners..
That....
Tell me honestly. Oppa couldn't teach you anything proper anyway..
Sigh... I've been looking around here and there like YouTube or the Palace of Knowledge..
Haa....
Oh Hanbyul let out a long sigh.
I knew it wouldn't work well. Oppa, that's just how you are..
The next moment, she came up with words he hadn't thought of.
I'll help you whenever I can. Like dog training..
You?.
I have experience too. I've trained friend's dogs before. He looks obedient and smart, so it shouldn't be hard..
Hmm....
Since he would train combat after the game anyway, it was fine to receive education in between.
Understood. You can't take him, I'll keep him, so come see me whenever you can..
I'll train him well..
Woof woof!.
Yeah, oh gu gu, our cute Bokdol..
As Bokdol rolled over with his belly exposed, Oh Hanbyul couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.
Meanwhile at that time.
In the park where Kim Ganghan was training Bokdol, a man kept rubbing his eyes several times.
...What are these tracks?.
They looked natural, but the man's eyes quickly realized they were made by some kind of 'dog-like' creature.
The man looked around the area for a moment and took out his smartphone to record it.
This is a scoop!.
Click, click. After finishing the recording, the man immediately called someone.
Yes, PD-nim. This is Gang-wook. Actually, I think I've found material that might come out in this week's This Week's Sighting. What? Ah, it's not confirmed yet. I'll investigate more. Yes, yes....
***
Since I have nothing else to do anyway, let's go all out here for a week..
During the remaining time, Fafnir's group focused on transporting the meteorite-modified golem.
The method was simple.
Clang clang!.
Goooo!.
When the skeleton soldiers drove the golems into the pit,
Fafnir's group stabbed the weak points simultaneously according to the signal and knocked them down.
After defeating one, the next one came without rest.
After defeating tens or hundreds, they finally had a moment to rest!
Sister Sihyun, what's the difference between the Starlight Blacksmith and the regular blacksmith?.
During the occasional breaks, Fafnir asked about the two people's jobs.
It was better not to know hidden class information.
The basic skill structure is similar to the blacksmith's. It consists of making, smelting, reinforcing, and dismantling, and each skill term has a Starlight attached and a correction value..
Regular making and smelting became Starlight smelting and Starlight making.
There are also Star-Hybrid giving new option slots, and Star's Blessing that prevents equipment destruction, something like that?.
Normally, hidden class users didn't casually explain the skill descriptions, but
Sihyun readily answered the skill questions.
Her younger sister Siyeon was the same.
What a jackpot!.
Thanks to that, Fafnir learned the skill effects and was slightly surprised.
Starlight equipment was much lighter and stronger than regular gear.
Plus the tattooist buffs.
If he received both buffs while they overlapped with other jobs' buffs,
Even large guilds or rankers would want that effect.
By the way, is there anything besides the modified golem here?.
In the original novel, it was briefly passed over, but
Surely the entire field wasn't only golems.
I'll check it out if there's an opportunity later....
A secret that a gamer who enjoys games must dig into!
But Fafnir's time was limited.
Before Flush starts, I need to get as much as possible..
Once Flush started,
It wasn't just that Flush would have good luck.
Clearly, his absurd luck would apply to all opponents he interfered with..
Just like the description in the original novel, it was definite.
I have to create a level that his luck can't reach..
After resting a bit, he immediately dove back into hunting.
Even after Sihyun and Siyeon sisters left, he immersed himself in hunting alone!
Outside of eating and sleeping time, he poured all his time into work.
Level up!.
Sword Mastery Skill level has increased..
Strength stat has increased by +1..
Sword Skill power has additionally increased..
Sword Mastery Skill level has reached Beginner 10..
You can now use the sword a little lighter when using it..
The grade evaluated when using the sword has changed from 'Beginner' to 'Novice'..
The results were quite fruitful.
The level rose by a whopping 10, reaching 210.
He kept using Blood Sword, and the Sword Mastery Skill level also reached Beginner 10.
It's not swordsmanship, but it's not bad..
As long as it's not bad, gaining skills is good, so there was no one to complain.
Since the level is enough, I need to look up more master skills I can learn..
At level 200, he could learn new skills.
Winged Bon Tera-Don Summon (Unique) or Skeleton General Summon (Unique) that summons skeleton generals or skeleton magicians!
But where do I learn the skills for Metal Dampyr?.
Fafnir tilted his head.
He didn't even learn skills.
He didn't even know where to go to find clues to the skills.
For vampire skills, I guess I have to go to vampires?.
For now, excluding Hemora.
She was too famous, and if he summoned her again, he might not be able to escape without becoming a vampire.
I probably need to find information about other vampire clans too..
Since it's a similar (?) occupation, it shouldn't be too hard to find.
If I meet them, then I can either trade by word or talk by body..
The plan for the future was like this.
For now, until the interpreter translated the ???.
You two, let's finish here today..
Wow! Finally!.
Thank you for your hard work..
A word signaling the end of hard hunting.
Sihyun, whose whole body was sticky, stretched her back.
Tomorrow, I really need to take an in-game bath, I can't stand it..
Yeah..
If cleanliness isn't managed, the character will get various diseases and status effects.
There was a sauna too, so if he just found water, he could take a warm bath.
At that moment.
Wait!.
Fafnir pushed Sihyun aside.
What? Why are you suddenly doing that?.
Seohyun, who had fallen on her butt, acted fussily. But the next moment.
Clunk!.
A hatchet was stuck into the rock.
Wh-what?.
Is it a new type of monster?.
Siyeon warned her surroundings.
Monster? What kind of brat is this! This is a user!.
Whir!.
As if answering Sihyun, the hatchet popped out by itself and spun while flying back in the direction it came from.
A huge shadow appeared in its place.
What is this? A monster?.
Fafnir frowned. It was an attack fast enough that even he, who had raised his level, barely detected it.
Monster is better. If it was a user, that would be a headache..
The shadow slowly approached. It was a man. Upon closer look, it wasn't that he was large in build, but he was carrying a lot of things.
On his back, weapons were packed tightly. In one hand, he was holding the one-handed hatchet he had thrown earlier.
What are you guys?.
A man with a stern face asked immediately.
