Chapter Title: The Dragon's Blunder
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Pathetic humans, gathered together.”
Dragons were objects of worship.
They were the terror of all living creatures,
and beings closest to gods.
Gold Dragon Pamela gazed down at the human city with a smile.
And right in that city was a tower perfectly suited to her.
“That tower will make a fine home for me.”
Surely the humans would cheer in delight.
She had grown even more certain on her way here.
The world had ended.
Monsters roamed rampant, and the land lay barren.
If a great dragon like her descended upon them, they would gladly hand over that tower and worship her.
“Then...”
She would appear in an even more majestic form.
-Thud!
“Raaaaargh!”
Pamela landed atop the magic tower in her radiant draconic form.
As she let out a mighty roar, she could see the humans below scattering in panic.
“I am the great existence, a dragon! I have come down personally to watch over you.”
In truth, she had simply woken from sleep.
She had taken flight due to some faint prickling sensation and ended up here...
“Praise me!”
She bellowed into the heart of the city, and soon someone climbed up from the magic tower beneath her feet.
A woman with striking red hair and flamboyant attire.
“Oh? Are you the leader of these humans?”
Pamela smiled faintly.
If she promised them gold, jewels, and magical power, they would offer up their livers and gallbladders.
Humans were all like that.
But this woman was somehow different.
It was not tension she sensed, but anger and irritation wafting toward her nostrils.
“Hm? Wait.”
By the time she realized the scent was oddly familiar, it was too late.
“You stupid lizard!”
“Eek.”
The rare being acknowledged as queen by dragons who acted alone.
Dragon Queen Pellisi slapped Pamela across the cheek in a frenzy.

(A meme of a platinum blonde woman in just a white t-shirt kneeling with hands raised)
I had no idea the world already had an owner
And I especially never imagined Pellisi—no, Dragon Will Die—was down there with you...
I won't act up again...
I've prepared a small gift, so please forgive me...

- Lmao, does this idiot know where she is, trying to collect protection money? ww
- Mysterious attribute beauty's dogeza www
- Whoa, the gender
- So she didn't recognize Lord Judak, started crying, knelt, and begged forgiveness?
ㄴ Oh
ㄴ Until all the world's ice melts
“Who the hell are you? Forgiveness? Whatever.”
And then suddenly a dragon showed up...
Not a meme, a real one.
Before I could even figure out how to respond, Pellisi smacked her, and she came begging forgiveness.
[Dragon Will Die has shipped 'Fate's Ashes'!]
Dragon Will Die: Hm... so, you there?
Dragon Will Die: I hope you don't misunderstand
Dragon Will Die: A young dragon failed to notice your presence and interrupted your leisure
Dragon Will Die: As an apology, I've personally prepared and sent a gift, so won't you forgive her?
I even got a gift.
“Fate's Ashes? What a grandiose name.”
I had no clue what it was.
Time to call on the system's power.
[Fate's Ashes]
Leaves created by a gold dragon using mana.
Burn them and inhale the ash-scented smoke, or brew them as tea—either helps.
Assists with mana recovery.
The gold dragon named them herself.
“So it's just for show.”
No wonder her speech sounded like a cringey second-year middle schooler from the start.
But since I hadn't replied while checking it out, maybe she thought I was mad.
['Molang' has requested a barter trade!]
She contacted me via the barter window, now basically a Judak fan chat.
“Did Pellisi tell her?”
Curious what she'd say, I accepted the chat.
Molang: Um... hello.
Judak*: Hey.
Molang: Uh... I wasn't trying to interrupt your leisure... I thought no one was around...
Molang: I'm really sorry...!
At the same time, a barrage of crumpled chat bombs flew from Molang.
Molang: (Meme of a dragon tail wagging)
Judak*: Oh
And even an apologetic tail wag.
Truth be told, I wasn't mad at all.
Who in the world could stay mad after seeing that meme?
A beautiful dragon girl in just a white t-shirt, wagging her tail?
“I can't resist this.”
I paused while saving the meme, suddenly curious.
Judak*: But that outfit okay?
Judak*: I like it though lol
In the meme, she looked super embarrassed.
Worried it might be forced, I asked, and a reply came right away.
Molang: My big sis said Lord Judak would like this kind of outfit...
Molang: She said anything cute and pretty would work, even from the same sex...
Judak*: What
“True, but same sex?”
I almost corrected the misunderstanding but stopped.
Experience told me it wouldn't stick.
More than that, my curiosity turned to these Fate's Ashes leaves.
“Aids mana recovery?”
Isn't this exactly what elves need?
And there were a ton.
Hundreds of tea leaves at a glance—plenty if brewed.
Of course, I'd have to try them to know the effect...
“But it's from a dragon; no way it's junk.”
Judak*: But does [Fate's Ashes] really recover mana for sure?
Molang: Yes yes! Not as good as World Tree sis, but you can expect mana recovery!
Judak*: [Fate's Ashes] is that good?
Judak*: Whoa fr, needed it bad. Will use [Fate's Ashes] well
Molang: Glad it helped!
Molang: ...But could you not emphasize the tea leaf name?
Molang: It's embarrassing now; I named it when I was young...
Judak*: [Fate's Ashes]
Molang: Hnggyuㅠㅠ
And it was fun to tease her.
“Anyway, World Tree sis?”
I figured calling Pellisi sis made sense.
Pellisi had introduced herself as the dragons' queen, after all.
But I never imagined she knew the World Tree too.
Judak*: How do you know World Tree btw?
So I asked.
Gotta solve curiosities right away.
Molang went quiet for a bit, then slowly replied.
Molang: Actually, a few centuries ago, I did the same in the Elrad region...
Judak*: ?
Molang: Like just now...
Judak*: Ah
So, like what she tried in Kellierton, she invaded Elrad to play queen.
And got smacked by the resident World Tree, just like Yongyong did?
Judak*: Legend
Molang: ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Total repeat offender.
*
Golden leaves.
I handed the leaves from Molang to the elves, and they immediately tested them.

(Meme of elves gathering leaves to burn in a stove)
(Meme of elves brewing and drinking tea)
This stuff is the absolute best!
My whole body feels alive again, like old times!

Elfkyat-hoo!!!

- Ugh, they recovered in the end
- But I figured it'd be fixed the moment Judak touched it ㅇㅇ;
- Elves would've been screwed without Judak lol
ㄴ Author: ㅇuㅇ ㅗㅗ
Long story short, perfect results.
Not quite World Tree levels, but the elves regained their vitality.
“I once thought nothing was more precious than gold...”
That changed after seeing their whole race stun-locked from not drinking for once.
[Title: Elves Are Famous Trolls ㅇㅇ]
Can't manage mana but won't give up booze ㅉㅉ x
Ah, elf racial trait o
[Recommendations 3921] [Disrecommendations 1021]
- Fr, watching elves is like heaven helps them
- World Tree back then, Judak now lol
- No troll like this
ㄴ Judak*: Fr lol
ㄴ ...Lord Judak?
ㄴ (Sniffling elf kon)
“Elves are notorious parrotfish.”
No race likes elves.
After the World Tree abandoned them, they became total outcasts.
Maybe that's why—they grew ever more dependent on me.
- Lord Judak, take this too!
- Rare fairy fruit, for you!
- We tried brewing fruit wine at my place...
[Unreceived shipments: 999+ items]
Proving it, shipments piled up.
Mostly from elves.
“Never hit bulk receive.”
Once took them without thinking, nearly burst the warehouse.
Space shortage already has me considering relocation or front yard expansion—what if I accept gifts?
Seriously risking suffocation under bunker gifts.

(Meme of gifts piled like a mountain in the corner)
Stop the gift spam
No room to live, cut it out
[Recommendations 9999+] [Disrecommendations 0]
- Oh, I see the gift I sent lol
- Damn, so jealous lol wonder what it feels like
- Wait, is that an elf yuri pic mixed in there?
- ㅎㅎ Don't wanna!
- Hehe, send more
- (Elf kon licking cheeks furiously)
- Lord Judak can't abandon us... abandon us and we'll come grab you...
Of course, fell on deaf ears.
“So this is what severe dependency means.”
The World Tree that once helped the elves had warned me.
Didn't get it then—now I know to watch out for elves.
Ignoring the growing gifts, I messaged Molang, who helped with this.
Judak*: Thx a ton, big help
The golden leaves from Molang exceeded expectations.
Big effects from small amounts.
One leaf kept dozens of elves from mana drain for days.
Molang: ㅎㅎ Glad!
Judak*: Wanna get more regularly, possible?
Molang: Ah
I was thinking steady supply, but her reaction was iffy.
“Not something she can mass-produce?”
Maybe more valuable than I thought—no, opposite reason.
Molang: Uh, well...
Molang: I make them personally with my mana...
Molang: N-not that I can't, but to exert power, I need to eat shiny things...!
Molang: I'll scrape some together by tomorrow, just give me a little time ㅠㅠ
Judak*: No
From the chat alone, I looked like a total extortionist.
“Shiny things?”
Looks like Molang was a gem-eating gold dragon.
“Gems are plentiful at market, but...”
Which kind?
Browsing the shop, I found synthetic gems.
[Shop/Category/Gems]
[12-Color Gem Set – Prop Use] - 26p
[Diamond Toy Gem Chips 25pk] - 12p
[Fancy Stone – Heart Shape] - 5p
Cheap per piece, but pretty artificial gems mimicking real ones.
“Does this count?”
She said shiny, right?
Indistinguishable from real visually.
Bought a few varieties on a whim and shipped.
[Shipped 'Toy Gem Set' to Molang!]
Judak*: How 'bout this?
Judak*: Real gems if no ㅇㅇ
“Plenty of cheap real gems too anyway.”
The moment I shipped, just in case.
Molang: Hoooo
Molang: Uwaaa... so, so pretty...
Molang: How did I never see gems like this before...?
“No, they're toy gems?”
Her reaction was better than expected—way better.
