Chapter 7 - Chapter 1: Entry #6
He had lunch with Chris and Caitlin and it was really superb compared to Shutra’s breakfast. It seemed like they had brought their own chefs to the battlefield.
After the things were finished, In-gong returned to his base with Carack.
‘Wasn’t it Zephyr who uncovered it in the game?’
The secret of Caitlin’s birth.
She was the illegitimate child of the 4th queen, Elaine Moonlight, and Gallehed, one of the five captains of the Demon King’s Palace.
Zephyr was an orthodox member and didn’t let this fact go. He incited his other siblings to unite together and raised troops to get rid of Caitlin, Chris and Queen Elaine all at once.
Caitlin, Chris and the 4th Queen Elaine resisted and as a result, both sides received heavy casualties.
Chris, Caitlin and the 4th Queen Elaine died. The lycanthropes became virtually extinct.
The forces of the other siblings who competed with Zephyr were weakened.
Zephyr, who stirred up the conflict, watched with his hands behind his back and received mild damage.
‘After that battle, his power was firmly established.'
In other words, it would be good for In-gong if the Caitlin purge event didn’t happen.
‘Or I can use it.’
In-gong frowned at his merciless thoughts. He had talked to Chris and Caitlin for a while and ate their rice. To be honest, he was more overwhelmed by Caitlin than Chris. Her face flicked before him.
‘Ah, I don’t know. It is still far away. Let’s solve this situation first.’
It was still far away. It would happen in a few years, so he could think about it later.
‘Whether I decide to use them or not, I need to raise my own power.’
The same conclusion from this morning emerged. He could only start doing things once he raised his strength.
”Carack, please prepare a team for scouting. It will be enough if we eat and leave tomorrow morning right?”
”That is great.”
Carack nodded with a bright face. He was quite satisfied with the meal received at Caitlin’s base.
'Indeed, I acquired the Gourmet skill.’
Gourmet Lv1. It wasn’t helpful in combat, so he wouldn’t actively raise the skil level.
‘What is good? Isn’t it just developing the mouth? Then is it bad?’
They were futile worries. In-gong cleared his thoughts and once again said to Carack, ”Then I will take a break. Later on, let me fill my stomach with some cows for dinner.”
”Understood.”
In-gong left Carack and entered the tent. Now that he was alone, a sigh emerged without him knowing it.
He had truly entered the game or he had arrived at a different world that was just like the game.
There was no explanation about why this happened. In-gong wondered why he had a game-like ability.
His job was a Protagonist while his uniqueness was a Conquest Knight.
In-gong had these questions but decided to set them aside for the moment.
‘I will train with the sword.’
From the time being, the most important thing was improving Shutra. He had to do that while gathering subordinates and investigating.
In-gong took out the wooden sword.
And the next morning, In-gong reached level 5.

”Will you be okay today?”
Carack asked after eating breakfast and leaving the garrison. He was smiling but his eyes looked worried.
”Yes, I will be fine.”
He was a crude, oversized orc but In-gong had become accustomed to it. Carack shrugged at In-gong’s answer.
“Hrmm, it seems like someone has changed overnight, although it is a good thing.”
Carack had only known Shutra for two days. Instead of responding, In-gong looked over the soldiers.
There was a total of 31 troops under In-gong, including Carack. They were all orcs.
They were local troops, led by Carack, that were assigned to In-gong.
‘Anyway, I want to continue training.’
In fact, In-gong spend all of last night levelling up.
He had suddenly appeared in another world, so he couldn’t sleep. However, he found it enjoyable swinging the sword and didn’t look at the time.
The result was visible. Moreover, he grew faster because he was low levelled.
He couldn’t help feeling happy. It was like studying and seeing his rank rise significantly in a national high school.
