Chapter Title: Incomplete, Plan to Flex
-----------------------------------------------------------------
“Ahh… I’m gonna die.”
The moment I arrived at my rooftop room, I stripped off every piece of clothing I was wearing.
Even that was too much effort, so I grunted for a bit.
Having to dress in tight layers for dragon riding had been a mistake.
It was warm, sure, but the clothes were too heavy.
Climbing the stairs felt like I had sandbags strapped to me.
Maybe I’d overdone it today.
Drinking energy drinks probably made it worse.
Shooo!
I immediately jumped in the shower to wash away the fatigue.
This was my favorite time of day, something I enjoyed all by myself.
On tough days like today, I’d stand under the water for over 30 minutes.
Just letting the warm water hit me. That alone was pure healing.
Sure, someone might say it’s a waste of water, but those in the know get it—this is paradise.
If I were still living hand-to-mouth like before, maybe.
But right now, this level of flex didn’t feel like wasting money.
Lately, I’d even started throwing away yogurt lids without licking them clean sometimes.
Not always, just occasionally.
Anyway, I was planning to enjoy a leisurely healing session today too.
Baaam!
A deeply ominous sound rang in my ears.
…What was that?
Did one of our cute little beasts knock something over while playing?
That didn’t seem likely. Accidents like that were rare in the rooftop room these days. I’d trained them well enough.
Thud!
Oh dear.
Worried something might happen if I left it, I quickly dried off and rushed out of the bathroom.
The room was surprisingly fine. My indoor slippers were a mess, though?
They looked like they’d flown off because someone tried wearing them and tripped.
Which little cutie would do…
…Huh?
As I looked for the culprit, our eyes met perfectly.
With the perpetrator sitting on the bed, wearing a playful smile.
And surprisingly.
It was me.
…What is this? Am I dreaming right now?
Rub rub.
I rubbed my eyes, but the scene in front of me didn’t change.
My brain went completely blank.
While I stood there frozen, something even more mysterious happened.
Poof!
A familiar mist spread around the other me.
My doppelganger had grown a tail and ears.
……Seolbaek?
That’s when it clicked.
Seolbaek must have transformed into me.
Is that why the slippers flew? Tried them on, felt weird, and tripped?
I recalled those videos on Mityube of dogs walking funny after putting on shoes.
Anyway, never mind that.
Could it talk in that form?
Unfortunately, I didn’t get an answer.
Poof!
Mist burst around it again, undoing the transformation.
Piii…
At the same time, it fell into a deep sleep.
Must’ve overexerted itself with the transformation.
Six tails aren’t enough, huh.
So with seven, eight…?
Would I be able to control a doppelganger then?
Might actually be useful.
Imagining that possible future, I lay down next to Seolbaek.
I hugged the little guy, who was even mumbling in its sleep, and tapped away on my smartphone!
Logged into Hunter Gallery to fill my daily dopamine quota.

“Pfft… idiots.”
Delicious.
Gallery surfing before bed is the best.
Confirmed Seolbaek’s disguise magic effect is amazing.
Duration was generous too.
Roughly six hours at least.
Of course, with Seolbaek by my side, basically infinite upkeep.
Or pump more mana in at the start.
This opens up a bright future.
Maybe that’s why.
“Fun times~ Fun times~”
Gallery fun felt twice as good today.
Time melted away until 10 PM.
The magical hour when eyelids double in weight.
Perfect time to sleep and get sweet dreams.
But weirdly, right at bedtime, sleeping feels like a waste.
Fun stuff always happens while I’m out.
So I fought my drooping eyelids.
Tap tap!
Searched Hunter Community for my name, ‘Han Sae-byeok’.
Basic ego surfing.
Used to do Molrangmol only, but now Molrangmol’s too big.
Ego surfing pointless with hundreds of posts daily.
So Han Sae-byeok it is.
‘Han Sae-byeok’ has fans too, but not Molrangmol level.
Seems more normie fans than hunters.
Perfect timing for ego surfing now. Can read every post.
“…Huh? What’s this?”
And I found it.
[Han Sae-byeok Mini Gallery]
A mini gallery named after me.
Wasn’t there yesterday. Who made it?!
Not mad, of course.
I’m a big shot… my lips say otherwise.
Corners rising to my ears.
About time.
Took you long enough! Nearly died waiting.
I even considered secretly making one with an employee account…
‘Too cringy.’
Still makes my face hot thinking about it.
Who made it tho?
[Admin: Han Sae-byeok No.1 Fan]
Knew it was you.
My gallery memory’s short, forgets nicks easy.
But I remembered ‘Han Sae-byeok No.1 Fan’—true superf an.
Came to Molrang Park too? One I signed for?
Whatever, good deed deserves reward.
Set down my phone, picked up the new one on the desk.
Bought recently.
Not for Molrangmol, for ‘Han Sae-byeok’ activities.
[Nickname: Han Sae-byeok]
Hunter Association made my official account.
Probably to stay on good terms. Chairman knows my identity.
No big deal.
They do it for celebs sometimes.
Some condition to meet, I guess.
Glad I didn’t lose the nick. Official mark too—this is real flex.
Tap tap.
Posted on ‘Hanmi Gal’ with the new phone.
[Hello.][Posted by: Han Sae-byeok]
(Photo with Seolbaek (3 tails))
Hello.
Didn’t know this place existed.
Always grateful for the support. (_ _)
Oh, pic’s from last Molrang Park visit.
Seolbaek’s so cute. lol
Good night everyone.
-???? Real?
-Auth mark, it’s real ㄷㄷㄷㄷ
ㄴJust saw, never posted that pic before
ㄴRare guest in this dump..
-(Admin): ??????????????????
ㄴ(Admin): !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ㄴ(Admin): Life wasn’t wasted..
ㄴShoutout real??
Satisfying reaction.
Fan galleries go nuts perfectly.
Was gonna play more with my fanboys.
Ding!
[Material sale completed.]
But original phone’s sale alert stole my attention.
Aeshant Wing materials.
Dragon bone, teeth, hide—all sold.
Net 50 billion after cuts.
Good price, but heart was better.
Still, not bad. Lots of spending ahead, more ammo better.
Tomorrow, after morning work, heading to Seoul.
To spend properly.
Loan if short, not bad…
‘Cover with what I have first.’
My expenses? Mana stones for beast feed, employee salaries, factory upkeep. That’s it.
Cash piled up… time to spend.
Social contribution, right?
Earned it, invest back.
“Mmnyaam…”
Pictured tomorrow, fell into deep sleep.
