Sea of Dimensions.
[Podori, why is it taking so long?]
Flamie asked Podori, and
[Huff! Huff! Only one left now! Please wait just a little longer! Die!]
While fighting against the remnants of destruction of the last of the four worlds, Podori answered with a voice filled with rage.
[Hehe. As expected, Podori only works well when pushed.]
Flamie looked on, satisfied.
-Kuhahaha. It's been a while since we've seen a dimensional tree.
–Is that a Tree of Creation next to it?
–Looks delicious.
Monsters appeared, drooling as they looked at Flamie and Podori. They had been starving for a long time beneath the foundation of the world and had finally escaped, so they were in a very hungry state.
[There seems to be some misunderstanding. I'm not a Tree of Creation, just a candidate. But who are you?]
As Flamie protected Podori, who was fighting the remnants of destruction with its roots, Flamie asked.
–Hehehe. Dimensional tree, don't be so scared. We won't eat that much.
–Kekeke. That's right. So just give us one root.
–That's too little. At least two.
They spoke in a sleazy tone.
With that much power, and not a Tree of Creation? Then what is it?
They naturally thought Flamie was lying.
[I told you I'm not a Tree of Creation!]
I'm not going to be a Tree of Creation!
As they kept calling it a Tree of Creation, Flamie became angry and moved its roots.
And then
Kugugung.
The Sea of Dimensions began to tremble.
–W-what is this?!
–Why is it so huge?!
The monsters panicked.
The wall surrounding the Sea of Dimensions was moving. What they thought was a wall was actually Flamie's enormous root.
Flamie was still growing rapidly, and as it became increasingly difficult to control her power, she left her main body behind and was moving around with Podori using an avatar containing only 0.01% of its power.
Kwagwagwang!
Soon, they were struck by Flamie's root and disappeared, leaving only orbs behind.
[Hehe. These are the orbs that Sejun-nim gave to the dragon leaders as gifts.]
If I bring this to Sejun-nim, I'll be able to get a present for Christmas too.
Flamie gently moved her root and carefully collected the orbs without breaking them.
Although she was too strong, Flamie was only 3 years old. Still at an age to believe in Santa.
Of course, since Santa Sejun actually existed, believing was only natural.
***
"There's nothing that needs rebuilding here."
Sejun said as he looked around <Urea>, where the sand had disappeared.
"Puhuhut. Where does it hurt, meow?!"
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Where does it hurt?"
Kueng!
[If you tell us where it hurts, we'll heal it with a massage!]
So they only treated those whose condition had worsened due to prolonged hypoxia.
"Puhuhut. Show some appreciation, meow!"
Of course, Theo took payment here as well.
"It's not much, but please accept this."
"Puhuhut. I will accept it, meow!"
"Thank you!"
Since they received a thank-you bow from Taecho in return, it was definitely a profitable deal.
Once the treatment was finished
"Everyone, let's go back."
Sejun and the group returned to the Kindergarten of Destruction.
"Sejun, is there anything I can help with?"
"Then take out some green onions."
"Okay!"
Kueng!
[Dad, if you need anything, just tell Cuengi!]
"Ahem. Then can you chop this up for me?"
Kueng!
Sejun cooked while being treated like a king. Everyone was helping out, yet the workload never seemed to decrease, why was that?
Sadly, there was no one who could replace Sejun's cooking.
After finishing dinner
"Ah. This is nice."
As he relaxed while drinking hot chocolate
[Hehe. Sejun-nim, look here! There's something in the yard!]
Flamie called out to Sejun.
"In the yard?"
Sejun jumped up and headed to the yard.
[Sejun-nim, over here!]
Flamie waved her leaves in front of a bundle much larger than her body and called Sejun.
"What is this? Flamie, stay behind me just in case it's dangerous."
[Hehe. Okay!]
Sejun placed Flamie behind him and carefully opened the bundle.
And then
"Huh?! This is?!"
[Azathoth No. 363]
[Azathoth No. 312]
[Azathoth No. 286]
…
..
.
There were several item orbs created by Azathoth.
How many are there in total?
Sejun began counting the orbs one by one.
–Who dares?! How dare you…
As he touched the orbs, the items resisted.
Kking! Kking!
[Quiet! Quiet!]
Blackie, who was always waiting for a chance to do good deeds, quickly stepped forward and subdued the orbs.
Heehee. Great Blackie has done 8 good deeds!
He earned 8 roasted and dried sweet potatoes.
"…Eight."
Thanks to that, Sejun was able to count the number of orbs. There were a total of 8 orbs in the bundle.
Six of them were items numbered in the 200s to 300s, with four to five stars, so Sejun could use them.
[Azathoth No. 83]
[Azathoth No. 72]
There were only two that could be given to the dragon leaders.
"Hehehe. I'll start with mine first."
Sejun got excited as items he could equip appeared and began naming them.
The item types were a sword, axe, shield, leather armor top, leather armor bottom, and ring.
I need to come up with cool names that make it obvious they're mine!
Sejun began naming based on the traits of the items.
Heehee.
The Blackie Family watched Sejun's naming show with expressions full of anticipation.
But then
"Since it's Sejun's sword, it's Sejun Sword."
Kking?
He gave them names so bland it deflated the mood.
And then
[Talent: Namer effect has been activated.]
[A special effect has been imbued into the name Sejun Sword.]
['Only Park Sejun can use' has been added as a usage restriction for Sejun Sword.]
Only one restriction was added: that it could be used only by Sejun. There were no other conditions.
After that, Sejun named the other items as Sejun Axe, Sejun Shield, Sejun Armor Top, Sejun Armor Bottom, and Sejun Ring.
The purpose of making it obvious that they belonged to Park Sejun was certainly achieved.
Once the naming of the six items was complete
"One has wind, and the other has life attributes."
Sejun confirmed the attributes of the two items meant for the dragon leaders.
"If only Crisella-nim and Brachio-nim receive items, Kaiser-nim will be very disappointed, right?"
I'll give these two items together once I have one to give to Kaiser-nim.
For the sake of his prospective grandfather-in-law Kaiser, he decided to seal them in the Void Storage.
Once the naming was done
"Thanks to our Flamie, I got something great."
Sejun praised Flamie while patting her head.
[Hehe.]
Flamie made a happy face at Sejun's touch.
Normally, touching her wasn't possible, but
If I hold my breath, I get weak!
A frail, sickly beauty!
She used her two abilities to the fullest and temporarily weakened her power.
Some time later.
"Alright. Time to brush our teeth!"
Sejun began preparing the children for bed.
"Daddy, Taecho can brush well!"
"Teecher-nim, Kkangkkang can do it too!"
Taecho and the Children of Destruction brushed their teeth like they were in a battle, appealing to Sejun to earn good deed points.
"Now, brush the right side?"
"Yes!"
Thanks to that, Sejun only had to give verbal instructions comfortably.
After putting the kids to bed
"Blackie, let's go."
Kking!
Sejun and his group entered Blackie's mental world to assist with the apologies from the Blackie Family and Taecho.
And then
"Main body Sejun-nim, I've made a new candy. May I share it with the souls?"
After long research, Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7, with a nervous expression, handed Sejun a yellow candy he had developed with a new flavor.
"It's not that Churu flavor again, is it?"
Recalling the Churu-flavored candy he had tried before, Sejun asked warily.
"No. I've sadly given up on Churu flavor."
Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7 answered gloomily. He seemed to genuinely love Churu flavor.
"Ahem. Alright. I'll give it a taste."
Sejun struck a haughty pose and put the yellow candy into his mouth.
"Huh?!"
What is this flavor?
At first, it had an ambiguous taste, but as he continued eating, the sweetness gradually rose, and a rich sweet pumpkin flavor spread throughout his mouth.
"This is sweet pumpkin flavored candy, huh?"
"Yes! How is it?"
As Sejun's expression brightened, Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7 asked with sparkling eyes.
"It's delicious."
"Then, can I give it to the souls?"
"Yeah."
"Yahoo!"
At Sejun's reply, Super Mini Chairman Park No. 7 shouted with his arms raised in celebration.
"Everyone, there's a new candy! Come and try it!"
He began handing out the sweet pumpkin flavored candy that had passed Sejun's taste test to the souls.
While Sejun and the others were comforting the souls,
"Huh?"
What's that soul?
One soul, several times larger than the others, was standing alone. It gave off a gloomy aura.
Sejun had clearly seen it forgive Blackie and Taecho just a moment ago, yet it hadn't returned to the <World's Energy>.
"That soul belongs to someone commonly called a hero."
Gilsun Nightmare noticed Sejun's curiosity and explained.
"A hero? Then why is it just standing there?"
"It's probably because of some unresolved personal grudge. Occasionally, there are souls like that."
"Is that so? Then what should we do? That one soul might delay the reincarnation of the other souls…"
Once all the souls grant forgiveness, [System Eok-Samchiri] reincarnates them from the <World's Energy> all at once.
But if even one soul remains behind like this, the reincarnation of the others could be delayed.
"Instead of forcing it to reincarnate, how about giving it some time to resolve its grudge?"
Gilsun Nightmare offered her opinion.
"Giving it time sounds good, but where should we send it?"
Sejun pondered for a moment.
"Ah. Then let's create a space in the Sanctuary of the Gods. Is that possible, Eok-Samchiri?"
[Yes, it is possible.]
A place was prepared in a corner of the Sanctuary of the Forgotten Gods, where Toryong served as the head gravekeeper.
The hero's soul was sent to the newly created Hero's Shelter in that corner of the Sanctuary of the Forgotten Gods.
Meanwhile,
"I'm sorry."
"We're sorry."
"Sorry."
The Blackie Family and Taecho sincerely apologized to the souls, and before long, morning had arrived.
***
"Hmm hmm hmm."
While Sejun hummed to himself preparing breakfast,
"Meow meow meow. I, Vice Chairman Theo, great Chairman Park's friend~"
Theo also sang cheerfully.
"You better not cry~ You better not cry~"
"Santa Grandpa doesn't give presents to kids who cry~"
Taecho and the Children of Destruction sat in the kitchen and sang joyfully.
A short while later.
After breakfast was over,
"Hm. Should I plant a tree to give it that Christmas feeling?"
Sejun looked at the center of the garden and began to ponder. Since he had a Growth Elixir, he could plant a pine tree and turn it into a Christmas tree instantly.
"First, I need to plant the seed."
As Sejun took out a seed to plant the pine tree,
"Daddy, Taecho wants to plant one too!"
"Teecher-nim, Chacha wants to plant one too!"
"Teecher-nim, Mulmul too!"
Taecho and the children held out their little palms.
"Alright. Just one each."
"Yes!"
Taecho and the kids each received a seed from Sejun.
"Heehee. Grow well!"
"Grow strong."
They carefully planted the seeds.
Kugugung.
The pine tree that Taecho planted grew into a World Tree and expanded gigantically. Thanks to that, there was no need to even use the Growth Elixir.
And then
"Okay, everyone, let's decorate the tree now."
Sejun and the group began decorating the tree with things they liked.
Grilled fish, Churu, roasted peanuts, rice cakes dipped in kudzu honey, these started hanging from the pine tree branches.
Don't hang dirty stuff on my branches!
The dimensional tree strongly rejected it in its heart,
[…]
But did not show it outwardly.
[Hehe. Sejun-nim, what would you like to hang?]
Flamie was smiling brightly on Sejun's shoulder.
The pine World Tree was quite perceptive.
