    • by Cristae 335 Meanwhile, at that moment. Yurian, trembling in a corner of the dungeon, dashed out the moment the gate opened. 'They were even crazier than I thought.' He had suspected these weren't ordinary creatures, but he had never imagined they'd be able to so easily subdue an SSS-class monster. If On Joorim hadn't come and stopped them at the last minute, he might really have witnessed an SSS-grade fried egg feast. He shuddered all over. ‘No wonder they made me into a Maltese and ride…
    • by Cristae 334 It all happened in a single instant. Dozens of railguns fired simultaneously in a straight volley. Pshoooo— Steam rose from various places. Standing among the fallen monsters was a child, gripping a fork tightly in her hand. Chick Drones hovered around her, as if protecting her. ‘What on earth…’ Theodora swallowed hard. How could a kindergartener possibly take down so many monsters at once? Surely… “So, you’re the hunter known as Fakeclaw.” Now…
    • by Cristae 333 At that moment, the girl flapped her hand at Gru. "W-we have to hurry!" "Uh, okay. I'll be right back!" "Should we come with you?" Wooju asked with concern. "No. Wooju and the others, stay and watch the shop," Gru replied, making sure neither Wooju nor any Familiars would follow. She grabbed the girl’s hand to go, but just then, the girl turned around sharply. "Aren’t you taking that bag?" "Oh, right," Gru said, picking up the bag containing the Filial Pastry mk.2 (S+), and…
    • by Cristae 332 “I already have an idea!” Gru, as if she’d been waiting for this moment, pulled up her cart. “…?” While Wooju and Huyeon looked on curiously, Gru brought out a toy baking set for making pastries. Holding two 9-slot walnut pastry molds in her hands, Gru grinned quietly. “Filial Pastry mk.2!” “What’s that?” “Filial Pastry?” “Yup, Fakeclaw made it for me. If you bake pastries with this, they get special effects.” “Isn’t that…
    • by Cristae 331 The Next Day, at the Campsite. Iromi and Nayeon set up the last camping chair at a spot where the wide mountain scenery could be seen in one sweeping glance. Gru waddled up with a child-sized camping chair and took a seat beside them. Nayeon and Romi, watching with fond smiles at how adorable Gru was, scratched her small chin and showered her with praise. “Well done, our Gru.” “So pretty, so lovely.” “Heehee.” Gru, basking in their affection, blushed and…
    • by Cristae 330 Instead, as Groo hugged Joorim tightly, she pointed at Gidan. “Daddy, Daddy.” “Hmm?” “Dani oppa’s bleeding.” Gidan was streaming a nosebleed. At this, Sergey shrieked in alarm. “Aaah! Gidan, you’re bleeding from your nose!” “Huh?” “You maniac! Get some treatment, quick!” Gidan absentmindedly wiped his nosebleed with the back of his hand. Joorim frowned at the sight. “Did you get beat up?” “Ah, I mean, I did, but putting it like…
    • by Cristae 329 "You, are Mephi's filial health tonic now." Slurp. Mephisto kept wiping his beak with his wings, staring hungrily at him with impatient eyes. "…!" What nonsense is this crazy human spouting? Even before Robali could process his confusion, Mephisto shot into the air. "Beeep—!" Though his form was nothing more than that of a fat chick, his eyes were sharp, like a raptor scouring the sky for prey. "Mephisto! You usurper!" Robali struggled desperately to avoid being eaten,…
    • by Cristae 328 “The boss room… is multiplying?” No sooner had Sergey finished speaking, a tremendous roar erupted. Bang! Bang! Bang! KWA-BANG! Every boss room door was shaking. The sound of rattling and pounding echoed through the air, as if something inside was desperately trying to break free. Sergey, staring in stunned disbelief at the bizarre scene, finally found his voice. “…Are there multiple bosses now?” Gidan bared his teeth in a sly grin. For the first time in ages, he…

    • by Cristae 326 For the first Parent’s Day, there are several steps one must take to deliver an extraordinary gift. Step one! Find out what makes a gift extraordinary! So, what exactly is an extraordinary gift? To answer this, we need the help of someone with plenty of experience celebrating Parent’s Day—someone who’s still keeping up with the trends.

    • by Cristae 325 Once his thoughts had settled, On Ijo picked up his phone and placed a call. A woman’s delighted voice answered. —I’ve been waiting for your call. —How’s Yurian? —That’s odd… Would you like to send her back to me? —Haha, I’ll always be waiting. I can never have too many test subjects. Theodora Weiss. A renowned authority in somatic reconfiguration. At the Guantanamo Research Center, she’d directed all manner of unethical experiments on…
    • by Cristae 324 “This child’s father.” At his calm words, Groo shrank her shoulders in surprise. “O-On Joorim…?” Jang Donghyeok stammered at the realization. “What do you think you’re doing!” On Suhyeong, carrying chicken in both hands, shouted loudly as he rushed over. But the man didn’t care and made to slap Jang Donghyeok again, only for On Suhyeong to intervene and stop him. “Enough! Stop this at once!” “Chairman On!” Jang Donghyeok, both cheeks puffy and…
    • by Cristae 323 That evening, on On Suhyeong’s Instagram. (A photo of Groo at the ballpark, laughing with Gidan and Sergey) (A photo of Groo in a uniform, cheering enthusiastically) @grandpa_osh Groo’s favorite team GrandpaWillDoEverything #Children’sDayGift #GrooLove The next day, Choi Chunho read the main news with an incredulous expression. “…What’s really catching the attention is the theory that the chairman’s granddaughter is exceptionally passionate about…
    • by Cristae 322 Negotiations with the government regarding the ‘On Ijo disclosure’ were progressing sluggishly. “As you know, there are many factors to consider. There are just so many departments involved.” Choi Chunho, the Director of National Security, smiled thinly without giving a precise reason. In the spacious VIP hospital room, On Ijo sat on the bed, with On Suhyeong seated in the chair beside her, both watching him. “Please be patient a little longer, even if you’re feeling…
    • by Cristae 321 "Wow, we really made it." On Ijo beamed as she held Groo’s hand and stepped off on the fourth floor. Staring down the white hallway, Groo felt the world spin before his eyes. This is… ‘A… another world?’ But in fact, it wasn’t another world. As if she knew the way, On Ijo walked briskly down the corridor, and Groo followed until they stood before the entrance to a ward secured by a passcode. Groo’s mouth fell open even wider. ‘It really is a secret…
    • by Cristae 320 "My kid, is she a genius?" Held tight in On Ijo's embrace, Groo's head filled with question marks. Genius? All of a sudden? "Um, uncle? I should go. I have to find Yurian." "Already?" On Ijo released the squirming Groo, then stood up and shook himself off. "Then uncle will go with you." He took Groo's hand firmly in his own. Groo glanced at him, then tried to subtly shake her hand free. But he showed no intention of letting go. Now what? "…Dad said…" Groo…
    • by Cristae 319 The brothers, visibly more at ease, greeted Groo as she came back in. "Looks like you've worked things out a bit." "Sorry, Dad. I'm sorry you had to see us like this after so long." "You should be apologizing to the child." "Oh, right." At that, Joorim walked up to Groo, bent at the waist, and met her eyes. "I got too worked up and said things I shouldn't have. You should never repeat words like that. I know I shouldn't, I'm really sorry." "I won't learn them. It's…
    • by Cristae 318 “Joorim… did I do something wrong?” On Ijo clung to Joorim like a slime, his face stricken with shock. “…Maybe you did?” Joorim was just as flustered. She couldn't say she didn’t feel a certain relief at being called “uncle.” She was also, admittedly, a bit uplifted. But the shock was real too. Because it sounded as if the child was refusing to recognize On Ijo as her real father. The brothers were left shrunken and awkward before Groo. “Groo, I’m…
    • by Cristae 317 On Ijo grinned playfully and tapped his own head. “I just knew. If I didn’t give up my powers there, the tower wouldn't be conquered.” On Ijo was a hero. It was no exaggeration to say he had climbed to the ninety-ninth floor on his own strength. The title of “the one closest to god” existed precisely for him. What he had built was by no means trivial. In fact, a fight to the death with the Master of the 99th Floor would have been a more hopeful proposal. Professor Kim,…
    • by Cristae 316 Jin Siwon hurriedly entered the Hunter Administration Bureau's headquarters. “We need your help urgently—could you come this way?” It was a summons from Go Kang, Director of the Hunter Administration Bureau. Knock knock. As Jin Siwon performed the formal knock and entered, the first thing he saw was On Joorim turning to look back at him. “You're here. We can begin now.” Go Kang, Director of the Hunter Administration Bureau. “Ah, Team Leader Jin Siwon, is it?…
