Minhyuk couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

A millstone?

There was only one thing that would come to mind when one spoke of a millstone and that was none other than tofu.

Whenever Minhyuk woke up early in the morning and thought of what food would be served for breakfast he would always recall the braised tofu that would be silently placed on top of the table. The savory and flavorful braised tofu with soy sauce, sesame seeds, water and oligosaccharides that looked extremely appetizing and mouth watering.

Even if he only had a bowl of beef radish soup and braised tofu for breakfast he would be able to finish plenty of white rice in one go. He would definitely scoop up some of the steaming hot rice while placing the braised tofu that he had cut in half with his chopsticks on top of it before opening his mouth wide.

Then, what would happen once he placed it in his mouth?

He would not be able to taste too much of the saltiness from something that was braised with soy sauce. The reason for this was simple, it was because the plain and soft texture of the tofu would only moderately absorb the flavor of the soy sauce. Every time he would chew, the mixture of the soft white rice and the savory and slightly salty tofu would create a harmony that was pleasant to the taste.

When one thought hard about it, a simple millstone would be able to produce a variety of tofu dishes like soft tofu stew, tofu kimchi, soybean stew, tofu stew and plenty of other tofu snacks. What he was most certain about was that tofu was both good for the body and for the palate.

However, Minhyuk thought that he should first focus on this Gorac’s Aging Jar before anything else.

[General: Huh? I told you something like this but you still did not reply. Is this more shocking than me getting a girlfriend......?]

Perhaps after General had sent the two syllables ‘Millstone’ he had expected Minhyuk to answer him as quickly as possible and did not expect the ‘I did not expect you to not send me a reply at all?’ scenario.

Of course, Minhyuk would have definitely replied in an instant if it was the usual but there was something delicious in front of him now. So how could he even focus on something else?

Clack━

As soon as he placed the lid on top of the jar, a notification rang clear and loud in his head.

[Gorac’s Aging Jar’s Special Ability has been triggered.]

[The Soy Sauce Marinated Crab is well ripened and ready to eat.]

“Wow...... Wow......!”

Minhyuk was showing a delighted expression similar to ordinary users when they had obtained an extremely strong and wonderful artifact. Locke and Khan looked in interest when they saw Minhyuk’s delighted expression.

‘Don’t tell me that he will be able to get an artifact from that jar every day?’

‘Heok......?! That must be a really good item?’

Minhyuk quickly took off the lid and reached inside, then he paused.

“Hmm, hmm. Guys, sorry but I have to go first since something urgent came up.”

“Huh? There’s nothing we can do if it’s an emergency. But what’s the jar......!”

Minhyuk immediately turned into particles of light and disappeared.

Then......

“Aaaaaaack! What is that jar?!”

“What is it? Is there an artifact that came out of the jar? Heok......!”

“Ah, what the hell is that jar?! I want you to let me knooooooo!”

There were only two ways to make someone go crazy out of curiosity. And one of them is not finishing what you were saying......

“Wow. Look at that color.”

Minhyuk gulped down his saliva loudly as he looked at the huge table filled with food. He first saw the white and soft rice that was still steaming. Beside it, he could see the shell, legs and the huge claws on another large plate. The legs and claws that were originally connected to the body of the crab were already torn off and removed which showed him the scarlet eggs as well as the pale but a bit black-ish flesh that was dyed with the soy sauce overflowing from the shell.

He first grabbed the back shell as he pulled it on his plate.

“You’re filled with eggs aren’t you?”

The dark colored spices that were sprinkled on the shell as well as the plump flesh and scarlet eggs that were all submerged in the sauce were fully displayed. He quickly picked his chopsticks as he swiftly dug out the guts that were hidden within the shell.

Chak, chak, chak━

The sound of the chopsticks meeting with the shell was also pleasant to hear and was in and on itself an art.

The guts and the flesh of the crab was gathered in the middle of the shell forming great contrast with the scarlet eggs and blackish flesh and guts. They were all mixed and gathered in the middle appropriately as if showing their great splendor to anyone looking at them.

Gulp━

His drool slowly started to flow as he hurriedly moved his hands. He first took them out of the shell and dropped it on top of his piping hot rice. Then, he scooped a spoonful towards his mouth. He could see the slightly cold crab meat and guts laying gently on top of the steaming rice as he slowly placed it in his mouth. The rice complemented the salty and savory taste of the crab and the feeling of the meat and guts slipping in his mouth made him feel infinitely satisfied.

After he had gulped down his first spoonful of rice, he quickly scooped another spoonful. Then, he picked up the shell like a plate, dumped the rice on it and mixed it with his spoon. The color was extremely appetizing once the guts, the meat and the soy sauce were all mixed together properly.

Then, he took a spoonful of the food and placed it in his mouth again. His eyes couldn’t help but close in bliss as a smile curled at the edges of his lips. After savoring the taste, he let out a slight breath before slowly opening his eyes.

“Wow...... It’s really delicious.”

He quickly grabbed one of the legs with his hands as he pressed down tightly on the joints to rip it apart. Like water in a broken dam, the guts and the flesh of the crab instantly flowed out of the cracked crab.

Minhyuk quickly took the leg in his mouth and sucked. The guts and the flesh of the crab immediately flowed its scrumptious taste spread quickly into his mouth. As he chewed the crab happily, he felt that the expression ‘Melts in your mouth’ was enough to describe the texture and flavor of the crab.

***

Ilhwa Group’s Chairman and President, Kang Minhoo. He was also known as Black Dragon in the game.

Just as he was going to take a breath of fresh air after successfully finishing his hunt, he heard the voice of Secretary Park Munsoo. Park Munsoo had pressed the call button in the capsule.

[The Young Master-nim said that he would treat us and the President to a very delicious meal which included snow crabs in Athenae on your birthday.]

For Black Dragon, this was a completely unusual occurrence.

A meal with my son... It has been five years since we last had a meal together.

Although it was just a meal in the game, it was still a new and moving feeling for him. The tip of his nose had tingled as his eyes suddenly reddened. He felt that it was truly delightful that his son, who was suffering from bulimia, was preparing a meal for his birthday.

Then, at that moment, six users suddenly appeared in front of him. The users looked like they were flustered at the sight of him.

“Y, you’re crying......?”

“......”

Black Dragon smirked at them. He could see their weapons on hand as well as the mage who was preparing to cast a spell. He already knew what they were here for.

“I’m in a good mood today so you punks should go back before I run wild.”

He turned to walk away just as he finished his words but then, Balen said......

“Shit...... This ahjussi is really a crazy 2nd grader.”

“Wow. He’s not crying anymore. He’s going to run wild. Why? Is your left hand sealed?”

They laughed loudly as they nodded their heads towards Black Dragon. Then, they launched their attacks.

The assassin that was preparing his skill earlier had the highest level amongst them at Lv340. He also had a special ability that could help him assassinate and eliminate his enemies in one shot.

[Surprise Attack.]

He quickly moved behind Black Dragon as he aimed for his neck. Meanwhile, the mage who had been preparing to cast his spell had launched plenty of fire spears towards him.

[Fire Spear.]

Crackle, crackle!

Craaaaackle!

At that moment, Black Dragon raised his left hand and said......

“In the end, you punks still let my left arm run wild.”

Black Dragon already knew that his name was quite funny to the younger generation.

But isn’t it still different depending on who’s using it?

He had decided to stay true to his name and be confident with it. His expression grew solemn as anger filled his head. He let himself loose as he ran wild on them.

“Pfft!”

“Keuhahaha...... Ah for real. What a funny guy!”

Balen and his party burst into laughter when they heard his words. However, not long after, an unusual thing happened in front of them.

Shwaaaaa!

A black dragon’s head emerged from his left hand. Then, Black Dragon stopped the surprise attack aimed at his neck just by raising his right hand.

Clang!

“......!”

Then, the black dragon that was resting on his left hand stretched its head out as it swallowed the fire spears that were heading straight at him. The black dragon roared loudly.

“Kiieeeeeeeeeek!”

When the black dragon roared, the person nearest to him suddenly felt burning hot as a black flame slowly devoured him.

Crackle!

The assassin who just attacked him was completely devoured by the flames.

“Keuaaaack!”

“Th, this......! Shit.....!”

Balen looked at his figure as a thought flashed through his mind.

“Fo, for real......”

He’s really Black Dragon (Black Flame Dragon).
