After a day, shade grapes grew large in the forest of dreams.

[Shadow Grape LV1: When combined with Ether Potion, recovery amount increased by 20%, duration reduced to 80%]

It is almost similar to the solar apple.

The only thing different is mixing it with an ether potion.

When he picked one of the grains and put it in his mouth, the juicy and sweet taste burst out at the same time.

It looked the same as a solar apple or Tree fruit but tasted different.

Its delicious, its delicious.

Yoo Ji-Ha was admiring and ate the whole bunch.

Arctus and Theradrone Warrior sitting quietly next to him were pitiful, so he gave them a few.

Now its time to go fishing.

Yoo Ji-Ha had never been fishing before.

However, he thought that it would be possible to make a fishing rod, prepare it, and cast it to the sea.

Normally, that doesnt do anything.

Fishing is an art in which countless experiences and unpredictable natural environments meet and unfold.

But Yoo Ji-Ha is under the power of a strange system.

Animal-friendly skills and even the help of Theradrones.

Come with me.

Arctus.

This cat, which looked like a snow leopard, seemed to have the properties of a dog cat.

When he gently touches his thick tail, he whips around and follows him around.

In the dimly lit cave, he took the lead, and when he finally reached the beach, he stiffened for a while.

It seems that he has not adapted to the new environment.

Yoo Ji-Ha took off his shoes and walked on the white sandy beach, and the guy wept bitterly.

Are you crying because I left you behind?

Come on, come on.

When he beckoned him, he hesitated a bit then stepped forward.

Perhaps knowing that nothing special was going to happen, he gathered up the courage and started running back and forth.

Yoo Ji-Ha took him to find a good place for fishing.

What do I need to know about fishing?

There is no fish that can be caught simply by sitting roughly and casting a fishing rod.

But this is a special place.

It feels like a space made just for Yoo Ji-Ha.

As he crossed the pale sea with Arctus, fish gathered around him.

Its like they are shouting, catch me!

The big cat was startled by the swarm of fish, it turned over and fell on its own.

Then he ran back to the beach crying.

Haha, youre a coward.

Hes still a baby, so its understandable.

Yoo Ji-Ha cast a fishing rod and stopped at a moderately deep water.

The bait is clam meat.

It was a really poor piece of equipment made from materials from the forest, but it was perfect for luring these fish.

I think I can just catch it with a harpoon?

Maybe if he reaches out his hand, he can catch one.

Still, he made a fishing rod, so he should try it.

Not long after, a large fish jumped out of the sea and grabbed the bait.

Yoo Ji-Ha pulled and lifted the fishing rod.

As the line grew tighter, a large flounder came up in the sun.

[Sand flounder: Food of Arctus.]

Wow, its big.

It was much bigger than the flounder that he occasionally sees at the traditional market. When Yoo Ji-Ha took it to the beach, Arctus panicked and ran away.

But for a while, as the smell of grilled fish spread, he cried and put his legs on Yoo Ji-Has thighs.

Wow.

Okay, wait a minute.

After all the sand flounder was grilled, the flesh was removed, put on a wooden plate and then cooled.

Arctus ate a large amount as if it was a drink.

Look at him eating You cant become a pig later.

Shall he cut him some slack because he looks pretty hungry right now?

He heard somewhere that he must feed them food so that they wont lack nutrients when theyre young.

Yoo Ji-Ha caught another sand flounder and fed him.

Listening to the sound of the waves in the sea, he remembered something to do.

I have to build a house.

He doesnt need anything grandiose, just something like a hut where he can stay.

When Yoo Ji-Ha finished cleaning up and stood up, Arctus followed after him.

After a while, Yoo Ji-Ha was able to complete a hut on the beach.

Arctus came with a palm tree bark or leaves in his mouth, and the Theradrones came out decisively.

How the hell did these little insects get here?

Dozens of Theradrones cut leaves and barks, helping Yoo Ji-Ha surround the hut.

Even a thin palm tree was cut, which took a while, but it was a great help.

You guys are amazing.

Its like this now, but how great will it be when it grows bigger in the future?

Theradrones, which used to be the size of a fingernail, have now grown to about the size of a finger, and the captain, the Warrior, is about twice that size.

What can he do for these unusual guys?

Food is the best as expected.

Yoo Ji-Ha was afraid of water, so he fished with arctus attached to his back and caught a rare fish called two feet fish.

When in the water, it looks like it is walking on two legs, so it must be why its called two feet.

When he handed the fish to the Theradrones who were waiting with their tongs on the beach, they said they liked it, so they crawled back into the cave.

Theyre really cute.

Yoo Ji-Ha lay down in the hut and used his arm as pillows.

Arctus patted his belly with his thick forelimbs, then looked up.

Why? Do you want to come up here?

wow.

When he sees him crying and rubbing his head, he cant refuse.

When he tapped his stomach with his palm, the small guy quickly climbed up and collapsed.

The fur is so soft.

Perhaps because it was a baby, it was as soft as silk.

The two fell asleep while listening to the sound of the sea.

This.

When he woke up, he felt something heavy on his stomach.

He returned to the single room with Arctus.

Yoo Ji-Ha groaned and put the sleeping guy down next to him.

Fortunately, he only opened his snout and didnt wake up.

But is this, okay?

Lets search, search.

When he searched on Hunternet, there seemed to be no strict management except for ether stone.

Well, the government cant afford to intervene there.

Moreover, even at this moment, unheard of items and materials were being discovered.

It is difficult to register and manage them all.

When he looked through the posts, it was rare, but there were people who brought animals and plants from the dungeon and raised them.

Most of them are plants

Large animals were very quick, and hunters were not interested in them, so it was rare for them to be taken out.

Theres a time limit, so who cares about an animal or something?

Arctus Arctus

He searched for the cats species name, but nothing came up.

By the way, how do he name this guy?

Ding No, that name doesnt work. Lets go with Beom¹Beom=Tiger.

Because its a cat that resembles a snow leopard, then its Beom.

He woke up to the sound of scratching the ground.

After leaving the single room, he found Yoo Ji-Ha and quickly climbed onto his lap.

Your name is Beom, Beom. Got it?

wow.

Beom crying with his back stretched out.

He doesnt know what that means, but he doesnt think it feels bad.

Yoo Ji-Ha prepared for the opening of the store with him on his back.

Hes very strong.

The skeleton was different from that of a normal cat.

After cleaning and opening the store door, the first customer was surprised to see Beom.

Wow, surprise Mister, what is that cat? It looks very cute.

I decided to raise it because it was following me in a certain dungeon. His name is Beom.

Hello, Beom?

The female hunter tried to see if Beom, who had a grumpy face, like her.

But.

ha ha-

Beom would not accept her touch.

If she reaches out her hand, he hits it with his cute front paw.

Cute Hes so cute. Did you find it in the snowy mountain dungeon?

Yes. It was so cold I was about to go back, but it suddenly stuck to my pants.

After a little while, Beom was also tired, so he climbed up to the table in the middle and curled up.

Its thick tail fluttered, and Hunter was trying to touch it, but when she faced the mandible, she was sullen.

In the end, she returned without touching Beom.

After that, guests came, and all said that Beom was cute.

Its great, its great. Really cute.

But was there a cat like this? Its a little big for a cat, isnt it?

Hey, theres a snow leopard. Animals who live in the Himalayas. Its similar.

Each and every action of Beom caught the attention of the customers.

Fortunately, no one was forcibly touching him.

Does everyone feel weak about these cute creatures?

In the afternoon, HyeJin visited the store.

When she looked down at Yoo Ji-Ha, she made a slightly friendly face then completely hardened when she found Beom.

That Ji, Mr. Yoo Ji-Ha, what is this?

After explaining the situation, HyeJin finally came inside.

12th place in the Hunter Ranking, called the Sword witch, cant believe she is looking at the eyes of a cat.

When Beom yawned, she even flinched.

She handed the something to Yoo Ji-Ha, trying not to attract Beoms attention as much as possible.

This Coffee, please.

Are you giving it to me?

Yeah, because Ive been treated with fruits before. Of course, Im not saying Im going to replace the fruits with just this one.

Thank you, I will drink.

At that time, Beom intervened between the two of them, lengthening his neck and crying.

Uh? Yes? Why? What do you need?

It sounds like hes asking you for a pet.

Pet? As in stroking?

Because hes sticking his head out.

HyeJin hesitated, and barely put two fingers on Beoms head and stroked it timidly.

A smile spreads across her lips as if shes feeling better with the soft fur.

You dont really like cats, do you?

For reference, among the guests who have come so far, not one person dislikes Beom.

Its a cat, but it may be more friendly because it looks a little bit like a dog.

Its not that I hate it that much. Just Im afraid of scratching

Is that so. Hes not going to show his claws.

He sometimes growls at people he doesnt like, but he doesnt show his claws.

HyeJin, who he has never seen before, is gentle even when petting him.

SeungHyuk really liked cats too.

After stroking Beom for a while, HyeJin sighed and sat down on a chair.

I heard a story. It said you let people rip the buff scroll for free? Now Hunternet is in uproar because of that.

Yoo Ji-Ha opened the book openly.

Anyway, the Eternal Flame guild leader came here.

HyeJin knows the result.

How the hell did it spread?

Rumors spread that Cha HwaYeon was rejected by the owner of the general store.

At the same time, the interest in this young man among the Hunters increased.

Its not a big issue yet, though.

Wow.

Beom jumped into Yoo Ji-Has arms.

Raising his arms to hold the cat and placing the book down looks very natural.

To HyeJin, Yoo Ji-Ha, who was reading a book while wearing glasses and holding a cat, looked really comfortable.

Youve lived like that until now.

So, he may want to live like this in the future.

A person who is not greedy.

A person who treats her comfortably without showing any feelings.

HyeJin was not burdened by him.

Ordinary men show bluffs or excessive interest in her to look good, but he maintained a simple attitude.

Is that why I come here often?

She thought perhaps she could be friends with this person.

While HyeJin was thinking like that, Yoo Ji-Ha decided to go into the dungeon as a latecomer after a long time.

Im slowly running out of materials.

Not everyone can enter the latecomers but can be accepted upon request.

As he was writing down the list of necessary ingredients in his notebook, HyeJin approached him and looked at him.

What are you writing?

This is a list of ingredients to bring from the dungeon.

Cant you just go to the wholesale center and buy it?

If I buy it like that, the unit price will go up. I have to eat too.

Somehow, it feels very ironic.

A person who sells potions and scrolls at a low price goes into the dungeon as a latecomer to purchase materials cheaply.

Maybe this is his way of life.

She couldnt understand it, but she couldnt say anything if he wanted to live like that.

Tomorrow

As she was about to say something, all of a sudden, a siren sounded loudly.

The humming bell rang at the same time.

HyeJins complexion changed drastically.

It was a dungeon catastrophe warning.
