Chapter 19
Episode 19:
Terrifying teeth and claws!
Anyone could see that it was difficult to call him a bear. Anyway, X rushed towards Bear. Sigh! The cave bear’s claws cut through the wind.
‘There is room.’
Although it was fast, X’s movements were much more agile.
Shoo! X bent down to attack and raised his shield.
chin! The Kalsumar shield technique was activated in response to the cave bear’s attack.
[The cave bear failed to resist the status ailment!]
[The cave bear is stunned!]
Whoa!
The cave bear’s massive body swayed.
The cave bear, a named monster, had the characteristic of resistance to abnormal conditions.
However, it is a trait that can only be activated when the level is right!
X had long since surpassed the cave bear.
‘How to inflict fatal wounds without being attacked?’
Every moment is real.
Even if you attack anywhere, the cave bear will not be able to block the attack.
However, X rolled his eyes to figure out the optimal attack route.
I had to get used to identifying these weaknesses first.
‘Head or nape.’
As expected, the most critical weak point is around the neck.
Shock! But X’s sword was aimed at the cave bear’s chest.
‘Not a single attack is allowed!’
X always imagined revenge.
Colleagues from the past that come alive vividly in your mind.
Colleagues who pour attacks and skills at you.
Can you fight and win against War Machine with your current skills?
While drawing the battle, I constantly asked myself:
But the answer was always the same.
As of now, there is absolutely no way to win.
Since there is no way to win at the moment, I decided to always do my best and move forward.
If you want to win a fight against the best War Machines in terms of skill, you must achieve an overwhelming victory over these guys.
Flash! X’s eyes shone coldly.
Sigh! As I pulled out the stuck sword, an alarm rang.
[Your level has risen!]
Kugu Goong! The huge cave bear collapsed.
X, who had disarmed his equipment, gave a new estimate.
“With skills like this… I might still be able to take one guy with me.”
*
Exciting victory!
X placed his hand on the cave bear.
The cave bear turned gray and an item appeared.
-Blessing of the Winter Forest (Unique)
Armor imbued with the energy of the solid winter forest.
It has excellent defense equivalent to heavy armor.
Limit: Level 40↑ / Strength 50↑
Defense: +100
Strength: +15
Special Effect: Ignores very small damage. As you strengthen it, the amount of damage that can be ignored increases. (Currently the maximum damage that can be ignored: 30)
‘I was looking forward to it, but I never thought it would really eat it!’
The corners of X’s mouth went up as if they were going to catch his ear.
One of the best items dropped by cave bears! That was the protection of the winter forest.
Even named monsters do not necessarily drop unique items.
“It’s absolutely golden. “Golden hands.”
Hana X has a fraud skill called Heavenly Capture! Thanks to this,
-Condensed cave bear meat (rare)
Meat from a cave bear that has reached its peak of fat.
It has a lot of flavor.
Likes and dislikes are greatly divided.
Saturation: +100%
Special Effect: Increases the chance of vomiting when consumed raw.
“…is it very different from what you thought?”
It is the main ingredient in the recipe of the great gourmet king.
But the special effects were nothing special. Isn’t this absurd beyond the point of nothing to see? The effect is worse than that of rare grade deer meat.
‘Does it taste so bad that there’s a chance of vomiting?’
I couldn’t help but be curious.
Thanks to X’s heavenly taste, he was confident that he could eat anything delicious.
In fact, X enjoyed eating street food that other users considered tasteless.
“Well, there’s plenty of meat.”
As befits its size, the cave bear dropped a large amount of meat.
X was thinking of trying raw cave bear meat. In order to cook, the priority was to understand the original taste of the ingredients. Of course, there was a bigger intention to raise the stats.
Squishy squishy.
X’s eyebrows twitched subtly.
“You can eat it like this because it’s healthy.”
[Heavenly taste discovers the taste hidden in ‘condensed cave bear meat’!]
[The rich fishy taste of the cave bear is absorbed into the body!]
[Max health increases by 100 points!]
[Strength increases by 10 points !]
Truly a heavenly taste.
Although it was bear meat that could cause vomiting, it tasted delicious.
However, if you ask whether other people would also find this bear meat delicious.
“Absolutely not.”
The fishy smell was not normal.
The fishy taste of all the meat I had ever tasted was nothing more than a child’s joke in front of bear meat. Burrr! For a moment, X got goosebumps and trembled.
‘…what? ‘I suddenly feel strong?’
That can’t be possible.
For some reason, I felt ominous.
“Oh, that can’t be possible. “Illusion is also an oil fountain.”
Shaking my head.
X tried to shake off his random thoughts and took out a cooking utensil.
He took out the spices with confident movements.
I hummed to get rid of the strong feeling.
“If it smells, it probably smells like meat. Among these many spices, there is not a single one that can catch the smell of bear meat. And if we happen to have it, there is also heavenly cuisine.”
Heavenly cuisine!
If you use the skill, the shadow will definitely guide your path. That means you can learn the Gourmet King’s recipes directly from the Gourmet King’s shadow!
X, who had completed his preparations, confidently shouted.
“Heavenly cuisine…?”
I blurted out my words.
What’s going on?
No shadow appeared. There was no reaction.
“This guy is really….”
A cold feeling!
I had an intuition that the shadow of the Gourmet King had turned his back.
X, who succeeded the Gourmet King, knew instinctively. The King of Gourmet, who is self-indulgent in everything, has no intention of handing over recipes easily even to his successor!
X realized why he felt ominous.
“So, it’s coming out in such a shameful way, right? I don’t think I can do this. “Can’t we just somehow make this tasteless bear meat so that others can eat it?”
X, the master of hard work!
If you don’t have the ability, you will get it through hard work!
Sigh! X rolled up his arms and glared at the bear meat.
“First of all… okay, shall we try frying it?”
Recipe from the King of Gourmet!
I didn’t know how much hardship I would have to endure, but it was a move forward.

Meiji Co., Ltd., the world’s best company in name and reality!
“The item disappeared because of hacking. But that’s impossible, sir. No hacker can hack our Mage’s security system. “You must not lie.”
The game masters who managed Fate had no time to rest.
Inquiries and interview requests pouring in every day! Because of that, my ears always tingled.
Game Master Kim Seong-cheol stuck out his tongue.
“Ugh. Honestly, what kind of game master or call center employee is this? Senior, how long are we going to have to deal with these chores? “We are also game masters, so isn’t it okay for us to get a little involved in the internal affairs of Fate?”
Myung-woo Myung raised his glasses and responded.
“When the Blossom gets old, maybe that’s the only time we can interfere with Fate, right? “Pray for that day to come.”
“You could just say it’s impossible.”
Code name Blossom!
This is the name of the artificial intelligence that creates and manages Fate.
Blossom was a masterpiece by Meiji Chairman Dr. Schubert. It reached the pinnacle of human technology not only in terms of security but also performance. There was even a joke that the day Blossom went down was the day the Earth was destroyed.
Seongcheol Kim continued speaking while sipping cold coffee.
“Still, the auction house prices are soaring frighteningly. And when I see the stock price breaking new records day by day, I understand the Chairman’s policy. “Even if I were the chairman, I would have severely limited the game master’s authority.”
gulp! Seongcheol Kim, who was looking at the monitor, swallowed his saliva.
What if you could create items with the authority of the game master?
What if that item is one of the most legendary items in Fate?
It was natural that Fate would fall into chaos. Right now, Seongcheol Kim himself is struggling with money. If you had the authority, you might have made a mistake a long time ago.
“Why did the guy who knew that complain so much?”
“I’m not serious. “It’s a way to relieve work stress.”
“I feel stressed for no reason. There is no assignment, so just take it easy. “There are no regulations and the chairman doesn’t touch anything like that.”
“Senior, if I take my time working, who will take care of the users?”
Fate, a game with its own unique worldview!
It is natural that users are always overflowing with curiosity in such a vast game. Therefore, we needed the help of kind and sincere game masters who accurately understand the fate system.
Seo Myung-woo let out a chuckle.
“Did you just become an Angel GM? Still, I went out to cool off for a bit, right? Today is the day Fate highlights come out. That ‘War Machine’ you’re obsessed with is coming out.”
Jump up! As if there was no time to answer, Kim Seong-cheol headed to the lobby.
Employees crowded into the lobby, looking at the monitor.
The Fate highlight has just begun.
-TOP5
As soon as the text appeared on the monitor, a giant roaring loudly appeared. The users fighting against such a giant were members of a new guild.
Impressed, Seo Myung-woo opened his mouth.
“I can’t believe a guild that was formed only two weeks ago appears in the highlights. There is no such thing as a super rookie even among rookies. Even the big guilds need to be a little nervous, right?”
“Hmph, what’s the tension! Even if other guys don’t know, it’s obvious that it won’t work against War Machine. Did you know that War Machine took the top spot in the highlight this time? What an orc…”
“Shh! Dude, don’t spoil it. “Be visible.”
Thing! Kim Seong-cheol closed his mouth in response to the stinging stares pouring in.
A dynamic video that cannot be compared to any other movie!
“You crazy, you already learned the 4th circle magic?”
“Is Circle 4 the problem now? There is also a guild that discovered an island outside the map. “It may not seem like much right now, but no one knows what potential the island has.”
These were gorgeous videos that even the employees of Magi, who watched Fate all day, could not help but be fascinated by. Time passed by so quickly. Now only two videos remain.
Seongcheol Kim tilted his head.
‘what? ‘I don’t remember anything in particular?’
First place goes to War Machine.
They achieved unparalleled and overwhelming achievements.
But I couldn’t guess second place.
Kim Seong-cheol searched overseas for Fate-related communities, but he couldn’t quite get the hang of it. Meanwhile, text appeared on the monitor.
-TOP2
“Huh?”
“what is this?”
“I heard you tasted blossom?”
The employees were whispering.
Perfect Artificial Intelligence Blossom This could not help but be seen as a problem with the highlights produced by Blossom.
War Machine was naturally expected to take first place.
Because they appeared a little early.
Rugged mountain range.
A fearsome monster.
Even dizzying traps.
War Machine, who, despite countless hardships, discovered a new race called Orcs. The video ended with War Machine leader Kaimus shaking hands in harmony with the Orc chieftain.
Thanks to Kaimus, who succeeded in the B+ level quest, which is currently the most difficult, users can now play Fate as the Orc race.
-TOP1
But is there a user who surpassed that achievement and took first place?
“What kind of people are they?”
All the Mage employees and those watching the Fate highlights live from around the world swallowed their saliva. Soon the video started.
“Wait a minute, isn’t that space?”
Gossip and gossip.
Kim Seong-cheol muttered among the noisy employees.
I saw a universe embroidered with infinite stars.
But the universe was gradually shrinking.
Smaller, smaller, smaller.
The universe, which had been shrinking rapidly, shrunk like a small circle.
It looked like… if I were to put it specifically, it looked like ‘candy’.
and.
Bye!
Soon it was completely destroyed.
It went beyond being smashed and crumbled into very small pieces.
That was the end of the mysterious video.
One by one, the employees began to express surprise.
“Wow, without us knowing, it’s a world-level event. If it’s space, it’s a problem at a higher level than the world, right? “Such an unmeasurable event has begun?”
“Does everyone have any guesses?”
“Are you sure? “What is that, really?”
Kim Seong-cheol’s breathing became difficult.
Has an event begun that will put Fate World in danger? Or is it a hint of a power that can go beyond the Fate World and shatter the universe?
Fifty possibilities came to mind.
But that thought didn’t last long.
Seo Myung-woo pulled the sleeve of Kim Seong-cheol, who was entranced.
“Seongcheol, stop staring and follow me. You’ll have to come to your senses. “Inquiries will be pouring in from now on.”
“Oops.”
It’s natural that users are even more shocked when they are like this themselves. Soon all the employees returned to their seats.
“I assure you, it is not an error.”
“I can’t tell you that because it’s confidential.”
“Your ranking is accurate. However, we also don’t know how this happened…”
Inquiries pouring in!
Employees busy with their work. And
there was a white-haired old man staring intently at the monitor one floor above them .
Blossom’s developer, Dr. Schubert, muttered excitedly.
“Blossom my baby. “What on earth are you dreaming about?”

The one who ‘chewed up’ the universe to make it look good!
Does the protagonist know about this mess or not?
The labor was still in full swing.
Munch!
“Tsk tsk, this isn’t even a spice. Then how about this?”
I will definitely win the gourmet king’s recipe!
X, driven by a competitive spirit, constantly ate failures.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
