Karma Shopping (3)
A mountain village located a short distance from the capital of the Zefia Republic.
As the main religion is the largest religion on the continent, even in such a small village with a small population, there was a prayer center for the residents.
Of course, it was so poor that only one apprentice priest and two monks from the village resided there, but no one looked down on this place among the villagers.
No matter how weak the divine power of the apprentice priests was, they were able to provide first aid, and thanks to that, they were in a position to receive the benefits at any time.
Aside from faith, there was no way anyone would dislike it because it was practically helpful in life.
But right now, inside the prayer hall, which should be more sacred than anywhere else—.
A clandestine meeting of ungodly people, who were not permitted, and who did not have a single grain of faith, continued.
“How do you feel about being blessed by him, Obypo? If you’re a vampire, your suitability should be pretty good.”
“Kuh, I see… That’s not too bad… When he suddenly came, I wondered what trick he was trying to do again…”
“I’m sorry. Still, I thought we’d been together for quite some time and had built up some level of trust.”
The conversations of the ungodly people who come and go inside the prayer hall with the symbols of the main denomination engraved everywhere.
The lord of the Obipo Clan, who settled in the eastern part, and the Holy Blood Vampire, Obipo…
“You were the first to betray that trust, revolutionary… Wouldn’t you say that you are not responsible for the deaths of the Fool of Enamel and the Southern Barbarian King…?”
“I’m sorry about that. I had to cut off contact because of urgent circumstances.”
He was a revolutionary who was the biggest culprit behind the world falling into chaos, the founder of the Oath of Reversal.
“Isn’t that why you came here to help even now? If you have that power, you won’t be easily defeated like the others.”
“Keuhehehe… It’s been a long time since I’ve already ruled out Zefia’s commander-in-chief, who would have been the biggest stumbling block anyway… I wanted to make him one of my followers too, but it wasn’t easy to subjugate a warrior who had reached transcendence… It’s a pity…”
A shocking story that even the one called the strongest of the republic collapsed.
Another obstacle, the hero, had already tolerated the rule of the kingdom of Talia by vampires, so it would not be easy to intervene in the secret situation inside the Republic.
Not only that, but the attention of the public was diverted to the successive incidents in various places, creating a favorable situation for Obipo in many ways.
“Can I leave the vice president alone? In fact, you must be the head of the opposition faction.”
“Hmm, you mean that woman…? She thought she would dispose of it soon, even if she didn’t, since she was useless now… She’s got all her limbs cut off anyway, so there’s probably nothing she can do about it, but…”
It was to make it easier to get her information about those who fell in love with her that left her with a great animosity towards her vampires in the first place.
She had been making arrangements for him for quite a long time on her side, and she had arranged this and that.
“It is quite relaxed. Knowing that she’s already been in contact with a western hybrid.”
“Kuh, you mean that self-proclaimed vampire king…? It’s funny… A guy who doesn’t know anything about the source of blood is the king and he’s acting like he’s laughing…”
Of course, he also immediately figured out the movements of the vice president and the hybrid.
But he, who had a corner to believe, was not worried at all about him even now, when the situation was on the verge of a collision and a collision was imminent.
“No matter what kind of power he possesses… As long as vampire blood flows through his body, he cannot defeat me who has obtained the power closest to the source… Rather, it makes me want to congratulate you for doing the troublesome task for me…”
Instead of worrying, they just look forward to it.
He sincerely hoped that the King of Hybrids would come.
The moment you subdue him, it will be the day you get all the continent’s vampires in your hands.
“Now, if you only get the essence of Brokoslak and Upersh… All the bloodlines of the beginnings that have been fought in the past will come together… Only then will this world face the true vampire king…!”
Over a long period of time, Overipo has been gathering together the legacy of the ‘blood vein of the beginning’ that was severed and could not be continued to future generations.
He was drenched in bliss, dreaming of perfecting the bloodline and reigning over it.
Without even imagining that not only the two bloodlines he was targeting, but also everyone who fell under the command of the hybrid lost their purity a long time ago and were contaminated with blood-sucking factors from another dimension.

I crossed my arms and stared at the number representing the price of the product.
“Hmm.”
Compared to that overwhelming number of 30 million, it was only 300,000, a change of only 1 percent.
It was the first time I had actually seen the numbers change, so I was naturally interested.
‘What? What is that all of a sudden… Did any of my subordinates get any clues related to that?’
In fact, I was guessing that the price was set according to the value of the item and the difficulty of obtaining it, but of course, that was not 100% certain.
However, looking at the price situation of other general items, it is also true that it is the most reliable inference.
So it was natural for me to feel that I had become closer to ‘that’ through something.
‘Then, if we can figure out what the cause is, we can also figure out what that thing is. Then, first, check if any related information has been obtained…’
However, I, who was analyzing the situation so quickly.
As soon as I thought about what I had to do next, I realized that it was easier said than done.
‘Even if it’s just a window where I can get information right now…’
Under the control of the Immortal Army intelligence chief, Olivia, a ghost spy unit scattered across the continent.
The hybrid vampires that permeated the world’s darkness and the dark organizations that came under them.
The information analysis team of the Main Church that exerts influence all over the continent and collects and provides necessary information.
Hubert’s informants organized to collect information on countervailing and track the flow of supplies.
‘Not only that. There are also routes through which information can be obtained indirectly.’
Harley in the South and Harris in the Enamel Continent were also inseparable from what happened in their respective realms in some way, and the influence of Hesperon, who was favored by the princess, could not be ignored either.
Virtually all of them are good sources of information, except for Howard, who locks himself in a closet and hammers.
‘…It’s almost astounding just the information collected from all over the place at every moment, but it’s impossible to identify something related to something that I don’t know.’
After thinking about it for a while, I shook my head and cleared my mind.
To be honest, it was true that I was interested in that, but it was a waste of energy to keep clinging to something that would not come to a conclusion no matter what.
‘Because 1 percent won’t be such a big change anyway.’
Whatever it is, if you look at the numbers, it’s still far away, isn’t it?
If something drastic changes, we’ll know in one way or another.
What mattered to me right now was not such a vague matter.
Clap clack—
I turned my gaze and looked down at a young child wearing a large T-shirt like a dress over her bare body, holding a glass bottle with both dainty hands and drinking the elixir.
“Kyaha!”
The little boy let out a cool exclamation as he let go of the bottle he finished drinking.
Then, he licked his lips and even gestured to rub his mouth with the palm of his hand.
Every action he did was fatally cute.
‘Is my body getting younger, so my behavior is also affected?’
Or maybe it’s just a normal behavior, and it might be that he feels that way because of his appearance.
Of course, there was no need to worry about either of them now.
Avatar’s personality is unique. It wasn’t even a day or two.
‘Anyway, Auterica is more efficient than Earth for rapid growth. However, Horus, in the form of a child, cannot be sent alone anywhere. Even if it’s nominal, they should have a guardian.’
While he was lost in thought, Hugo quietly opened the door, approached Horus, and began dressing him in children’s clothes from another world that he had received through Avatar Cloud.
Hubert, who is in charge of chores and supplies, hastily prepared and sent the clothes.
‘…Yes, that’s probably the best place.’
And after looking at it, I was able to decide Horus’s destination after deliberation.
A person who isn’t too big a deal, who doesn’t pay attention to those around him, and who doesn’t find it strange even if he brings a child for all sorts of excuses.
‘Taraq with Hubert Company.’
It was the moment when not only chores and supplies were added to Hubert’s duties, but also childcare.

《Drakarion looks at you.》
Right after Horus crossed over into this world, it was a phrase that came to him before his eyes.
‘Is it the god of dragons?’
It’s not like you’ve seen it once or twice, so now it was like an annual event with nothing new.
‘Now, rather, if I don’t have this kind of interest, something is regrettable.’
Although it is limited to another world, it is a life that attracts the attention of the gods.
Of course, in addition to that interest, I was receiving satisfactory support, so there was nothing to complain about.
If you look at it like that and think you like something, I’ll throw you a little bit of a gift.
“Huh—pa—!”
Horus took a deep breath and smiled with satisfaction.

‘Anyway, it’s definitely different because it comes to a world with mana.’
Unlike Earth, where no energy was felt as a barren land of supernatural powers, the mana that filled this place quickly flowed into the dragon heart just by breathing, making him even stronger.
Whether growth correction and expensive elixirs are working hard, at a speed that surprises even the person involved.
‘On Earth, only the recovery of lost energy is possible, and that does not lead to growth.’
So, even though the Awoken who returned to Earth could improve their skills by mastering their skills, they could not increase their own capabilities.
In fact, from the moment he returns, his limits are set.
‘That problem has nothing to do with me…’
He also had a few powerful avatars he already had, but that was still a bit lacking.
He needed a stronger, more overwhelming force than before.
At that time, that angel… In order to bring down the Buncheonhoeju.
And this little dragon, who has recently been the most anticipated prospect, is right here.
It was Horus, clasping his chubby hands tightly, solidifying his resolve.
‘Of course, it’s not at the stage of doing something right now. For now, I need to take some time to get used to the dragon’s body and abilities.’
This place where he took his first step in another world was Hubert’s personal residence.
Most of the necessary food, clothing, and shelter were handled by hired people, so it was an optimal environment to focus on what you wanted without having to do anything.
‘Okay, then let’s start.’
And Horus lay down on the bed in the inn for full-scale training.
“Huh— ha—.”
Deep breathing followed by meditation.
He carefully contemplated his body.
So he did that for a while in human form, and then he did the same thing again, doing a “Polymorph” With a dragon.
If you look at it from a little distance, you might wonder what it was doing, but Horus was doing his routine seriously.
Also known as Operation Waryong (臥龍).
A baby dragon locked away in a luxury home curled up, dreaming of a day to soar.
***
Auterica mother.
In a small cave where all sorts of physical and magical concealment measures were taken and not a single light came through.
Kurrureung—
With a loud toss and toss that broke the silence of hundreds of years, a pair of eyes slowly burned in the dark.
The being looked around while blinking her eyes as if examining the situation, then tilted her head for a while…
[Hmm? This···.]
Suddenly, he felt something and let out a low exclamation.
The presence of a compatriot that is so unfamiliar that it is impossible to know where it came from suddenly.
[…Drakarion.]
It was so young that it was questionable how he was born at the same time as now, and by their standards, it was an aura close to a newborn baby.
But once he sensed it, he could no longer remain still.
[As you wish.]
It was one step away from the situation on the continent that was becoming a mess.
It happened in a cave on an uninhabited island.
Is it the Dragon Island this time? Will he rule as the Dragon genius?
