What is it? It's a ground pounder, fuck.
If you've seen it, fuck off.

- (Depressed knight frog con)
- This never gets old lololol
- Fact) Can't even jump in place properly.
ㄴ Fact) That's a fact.
Knights had long been known as the epitome of human martial prowess.
With the right gear and skills, they were literally a one-man army.
Evolving further by mounting a horse, they could even take down variant beasts one-on-one.
Of course, only on the ground.
"Knights don't handle aerial mobs."
That's why knights had been both objects of admiration and ridicule for ages.
When they shone, they were great heroes.
When useless, they were tax-sucking scum.
"OP class, but ground-only."
But that was now a thing of the past.

- Why does this look so badass?
- Whoa, the vibe is perfect ㄷㄷ;
- Senior, I'm checking out knight lit to snag one too. Any tips?
ㄴ OP) Head to a remote forest or rugged mountains nearby and camp out.
Knights were in the sky.
"Is this for real?"
Modern knight literature flooding the market.
It all stemmed from the flood of fantasy novels.
All eyes were on the first rift expedition.
Market inspections got sloppy, leading to this side effect—not quite a side effect.
But.
- Why didn't I think of this?
- No law against riding dragons, right? ㅇㅇ;
- Dragon knight ← sounds badass from the get-go.
Surprisingly, the gallery's reaction was chill.
No resistance to fantasy novels.
This was already a medieval apocalypse fantasy world.
Dragon knight? Totally plausible.
Plus, what hit the streets fell under 'knight literature' anyway.
"At least that's a relief?"
Japanese hero tales with dragons.
Western dragon knights.
Korean fantasy novels starring dragon knights.
The mashups overdosed knights with dragon knight romance.
- Where to get a wyvern? Urgent.
- What's the minimum spec for a personal ride?
- Any dragon knight seniors with tips for grabbing one?
Knights, already mocked as ground pounders, lost it.
Knights flying through the skies.
That romantic line sparked questions and tips flooding the gallery.
Even tip posts started appearing.

OP: KnightsAreIntheSky
(Thumbs-up knight frog con)
This post is a manual for dragon newbies.
Obviously, knight wannabes or fake knights who can't wear steel armor, downvote and GTFO.
1. Prepare rotten animal entrails.
(Cliff with pig entrails stabbed in meme)
Wyvern habitats are remote mountains.
Stake rotten meat in narrow, secluded spots first.
Make it look inconspicuous.
Like other animals couldn't eat it.
(Small wyvern meme)
(Curiously tilting head meme)
Then wyverns show up like this.
Key point—pay attention!
Don't ride ones under 2m at first glance.
They're chicks.
Can't carry heavy knight pigs.
You'll get wrecked by adults if you mess with them.
(4m-class wyvern howling meme)
Wait a bit longer, and adults appear.
This one's prime wyvern material?
Meets personal ride standards.
Now the crucial part.
(Knight charging out meme)
(Mounting startled wyvern meme)
Succeed here, you're golden.
It'll try to fly—grab the neck, its weak point.
Can't fly well then!
Hang on like a leech, tough as nails!
1 hour, 2 hours.
It'll tire and land first—beat the shit out of it.
Looks tame? Still beat it!
(Teary wyvern, smug knight meme)
Congrats, you're a dragon knight.

- This is a real guide ㅇㅇ
- Damn, senior's cool AF
- Why the formal speech, so cocky?
- How do you handle it after taming for personal use?
ㄴ OP) Violence! Obviously violence is best!
ㄴ Thanks for the tips!
- What if it bolts?
ㄴ OP) Handle it so it doesn't.
ㄴ How?
ㄴ OP) That's dragon knight skill.
ㄴ (Smashed-head knight porcelain con)
Then a sudden doubt hit.
"But wyverns are beasts, right?"
They look exactly like beasts.
Built like they'd snack on goblins.
Didn't the gallery hate beasts?
- Judak*) But isn't this wyvern a beast?
Posted a comment on the guide, and handshake requests poured in.
ㄴ ?
ㄴ What the hell???
ㄴ OP) (No way it's real? Knight con)
ㄴ How can a teacher not know that?
"No, how would I know."
Truth is, I was still a newbie in this doomsday medieval world.
Instead of comfort, the hot welcome flustered me.
- Judak*) Looks beastly from teeth and looks. Never seen one, for real.
ㄴ What is this...
ㄴ From another world? lol
ㄴ OP) Jokes like that aren't funny or touching lol
ㄴ But a grand mage might not care about worldly stuff?
Everyone thought I was trolling.
"My question was off-base."
Assuming common knowledge, yeah, it was wrong.
I asked gallery-style properly.

ㄴ Judak*) 1
ㄴ KnightsAreIntheSky) Some mistake wyverns for beasts due to appearance, but wyverns aren't beasts. Misconception from looks; known as native lifeforms for thousands of years. Just misunderstood due to habitat loss and population drop from competing with humans for food.
ㄴ KnightsAreIntheSky) Fuck
ㄴ lolololol
ㄴ Wears mask and gets instantly busted lol
ㄴ Pulled it off lololol
"Wyverns aren't beasts?"
Learned wyverns were native to this land from the start.
Independent, love high places.
Hard to domesticate, prefer remote areas.
"Total stray cats."
Just huge ones.
Not the type raised by humans anyway.
Issue was knights force-taming from romance overdose.
Forcing the impossible brings backlash.
[Title: Scratched by my kitty ; ;]
(Arm torn off meme)
(Ferocious adult wyvern roaring meme)
Kinda hard to raise these ㅇㅇ
- Kitty? ㅇㄷ?
- You're missing an arm tho
- Saw this and gave up on dragon knight dream ㅇㅇ;
Knights' wyvern taming method? Simple.
Violence.
And more violence.
"I wouldn't listen either."
Might seem tame then.
But at chance, turns like that post.
Not even real strays—wyverns with dragon pride.
Dragon Will Die: Wyvern? Who'd try raising one?
Dragon Will Die: Docile enough, but don't recommend domesticating.
Judak*: Why?
Dragon Will Die: Owner overwhelmingly stronger, or emotional bond from birth.
Dragon Will Die: Without those, no easy taming.
"Hm."
Yongyong agreed.
Riding wyverns was a pipe dream to begin with.
"But knights won't quit."
What are knights?
Position hard to reach on talent alone.
Persistence, effort, investment like modern exam preppers.
They succeed with "just do it" mindset.
No way they'd abandon dragon knight dreams.
"Per her, taming is possible..."
Shifted my thinking.
Beast-infested world.
Wyverns' habitats shrunk, starved.
Drawn to knights' rotten organ bait for that reason.
"Wyverns are strays..."
Better to be chosen than approach.
Spotted a perfect gallery post.
[Title: Ah fuck, can't do this]
(Skinny wyvern collapsed on ground meme)
Didn't they say beat it to obey?
But no matter how much I beat, won't listen.
Mounts to fly but won't.
Feeds but won't eat, fuck what now.
- Did you obey your parents' beatings?
ㄴ OP) Got it right away fucker
ㄴ lololol instant cure
ㄴ Mirror therapy insane
Beasts ravaged world, wyvern food supply crashed.
Most starved, scrawny.
This was it.
- Judak*) So can I raise one?
ㄴ OP) Whoa, do as you please teacher
ㄴ How's he in shitposts like this?
ㄴ Judak's everywhere.
Picked food for the starving, teary wyvern.
"Heard they like fish."
[Shop/Fish]
[Norway Fresh Salmon 1kg] - 12p
Shipping excluded, market's best quality at lowest price.
Saw picky eaters mentioned.
"But that's old news."
Now eating organs? Nah.
[Purchased 10x 'Norway Fresh Salmon 1kg'!]
Sent whole salmon slabs there to whet its appetite.
Freshly filleted salmon rained down from thin air.
"...Kyu-ing?"
The wyvern's eyes sparkled.
