Everyone is Young Except for Me

Hey guys!  It's been a bit longer than we had anticipated, but we're really trying to roll things in together instead of overloading you guys with too many announcements, so we wanted to get it all together at once.  We continue our revamp with a new Steam-inspired review system (mouse-over covers to see current ratings), have launched two new novels the past week, and will be launching the remaining four Korean novels at the rate of one each day, starting tomorrow.  Read on!

CHINESE NOVELS (NEWLY RELEASED)

Refining...

We swept through the mine. Mido buffed me with her Body Painting skill and I struck the monsters with fire. Mido kept up with my pace using the ferocious sword and it seemed that blood couldn’t be deceived. It was our first time cooperating and I hadn’t expected us to work together this well.

“Don’t you think we cooperate well?”

“Ye...s.”

For a moment, I thought of the past. It was the time when I faced a series of groups with Muyeol. Despite harsh conditions, we showed off our fantastic partnership. We had nothing to fear at that time—just like now.

“I think there’s another one coming!”

I gazed in the direction she was pointing and saw the incoming monsters. I quickly ran over and kicked them.

-Crazy. This is a running hunt.

-What is the level of Wolf Mask?

-Wow, that control. What are those kicking skills?

I moved from the colossus to the gremlin and double skulls, causing items to drop every time. It was Mido’s job to handle those I hadn’t killed and pick up items.

[The user ‘Mido’ has acquired the Gremlin’s Shoes.]

[The user ‘?????’ has acquired the Colossus’ Leg Bone.]

[The user ‘Mido’ has acquired the Old Gladius.]

Just then, Mido showed a startled reaction. “Eh? Why do you pick up materials?”

-Why is he suddenly picking that up? It will only occupy the bag. It is heavy.

-Perhaps he is a cook ㅋㅋ

-Aye, there’s no way.

-How can he be a chef now?

-Right.

I merely stated, “I’m a chef.”

“Huh...?”

I was engulfed in silence. It was Mido and the audience as well. Everyone couldn’t believe my words. Then Mido finally opened her mouth, “You are... a chef? Really?”

“Yes.”

“How can a chef fight so well?”

“Summon Solar.”

“Master, you called?!” Solar appeared from my right hand and Mido was stunned.

“Oh my god, summoning as well?”

-Crazy. A chef can do summoning?

-This isn’t a lie? How can a chef do hand-to-hand combat?

-Wolf Mask is a liar.

A liar? These guys...

I used Solar to roast the gremlin meat and gave it to Mido. She took a bite and said it was delicious. I watched her with a pleased smile. Of course, she couldn’t see my face behind the mask.

“Wow, I received a sun buff! Is this summoning the sun?”

“That's right.”

“Wow...”

-The cooking gives buffs?

-This is the first time I’ve heard of buffs from cooking.

-What is the taste of sun roasted meat?

-It is crazy that he is actually a chef.

-It is big news. Big news.

-Then the orcs the other day were domesticated with cooking?

-It is highly likely.

I wanted to show off in front of my granddaughter and my shoulders subconsciously shrugged. At this time, the number of subscribers seemed to increase in an instant. Originally 50,000, the subscribers increased to 100,000, 200,000, and then 300,000. Mido spoke without concealing her embarrassment, “T-This suddenly... how are there so many subscribers?”

-Is this Goddess Mido’s broadcast?

-The A.S.L community is watching.

-Human Destroyer Wolf Mask.

Human destroyer? I frowned at the words that came up randomly. It seemed to be about what I had done to the reporters. I guess the reporters had escaped. Shit, how did they get out?

“Everyone, please calm down. I’m sure that Wolf Mask had a reason. He saved me so he isn’t a bad person.” The viewers suddenly changed their attitude at my granddaughter’s words.

-Our goddess is saying such a thing.

-Wow, really pretty.

-I’m a fan from today. I’m subscribing.

[Goddess Mido has gifted you 1000 Star Candy.] 

...It was ridiculous that their attitude changed so suddenly. If my granddaughter wasn’t pretty then they probably would’ve scolded her for her words. Still, I was grateful to my granddaughter. I told her, “Let's go a bit deeper.”

“Yes.”

The Abandoned Mine had a labyrinth-like structure. Since I might get lost if I did something wrong, I placed markers while moving and everywhere I went was crawling with monsters. Damn, they came again. I once again ran forward and attacked them. Every time I kicked out, the number of Rising Sun uses decreased.

Once this crisis passed, I wouldn’t be able to hunt anymore. I would have to wait 30 minutes until I could use Rising Sun again. The number of uses remaining was less than 50.

“Kuwoooook!”

Thuuump!

The colossus struck the ground and an earthquake occurred, forcing me to stop kicking for a while. Then the other monsters nearby came.

“Clack clack clack clack.”

“Be our prey!”

“Huhuhu! Die!”

Sharp attacks came from other monsters. Fortunately, my super sensitivity rose slightly every time I cooked or I wouldn’t have been able to dodge. Next to me, Mido was speaking to the air. To be able to afford to keep broadcasting while fighting, my granddaughter was great.

“I think they’re coming out endlessly! It wasn’t like this before!”

-The goddess who fights endlessly is more amazing.

-In fact, Wolf Mask killed all of them.

-This is a party of a chef and a painter.

-Wolf Mask is a chef??

-Ah, you just came here and didn’t know. They both have production classes.

-Right.

-Is this a true story?

-Crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Once all the monsters finally fell, we stood in place and gasped for breath. I checked the cooldown time of Rising Sun and felt I had to tell her now. It was a good idea to stop hunting. However, Prometheus had a different idea.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is telling you that he feels a familiar aura.]

What did he mean?

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is starting the route guidance.]

This jerk was turning on the navigation. Still, this guy had spoken key things a few times. I told her, “I need to speed up a bit.”

“Huh? You want to increase it even more? How?”

I pulled out a white pendant.

[The Star Piece is fulfilling the brilliant promise.]

[The Star Piece is temporarily unsealed.]

[The required monarch’s qualifications haven’t blossomed.]

[Only some abilities are available.]

My left hand was replaced with a frozen hand in an instant. Mido’s mouth dropped open. “S-Star Piece??”

-Crazy. Where did he get that?

-How can we acquire that?

-I wonder if he bought it with money.

-No, what is his level?

-I’m wetting my pants at the Star Piece.

It felt different from back then. The hand of the Star Piece ‘Ice Tag Fairy.’ If the memories I received were correct, the owner of this Star Piece was the constellation guarding the fourth apostle. I didn’t know why Edward’s father had it. 500 years had passed since then. However, this wasn’t the important thing. “We’ll be running from now on. Follow me.”

“We aren’t hunting?”

“That's right."

Then I started running in the direction where Prometheus was pointing.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is pointing to the left.]

I stretched out my left hand toward the oncoming horde of monsters.

“Ice!” This was a skill with more range than I expected. The monsters in front of me were half the size of Gorba so the effect was better than when used on him. The closest one was a giant monster called the colossus. Still, Gorba was a bit bigger.

“Hooooo!” Solar blew flames toward them and melted the ice. I had worked hard freezing them so what was this brat doing? “Solar, don’t attack the monsters and just pass by.”

“Understood, Master!” Solar replied vigorously.

-He can freely use fire and ice.

-No, is he really a chef??

-Crazy, this is crazy.

-What is going on right now? What?

-Why does a chef have a Star Piece...

The viewers started gifting Star Candy. Mido followed behind me in a bewildered manner and opened her mouth. She asked, “Where are you going now?”

“I’m not sure.”

“Huh...?”

I ran again the moment the monsters were frozen. Prometheus pointed to the next direction.

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is pointing to the right.]

“No, if you don’t know where you’re going then why are you going there?”

“I am going to see.”

Five minutes later, we reached a dead end. Mido was flustered as she asked, “Isn’t this a dead end?”

“Yes.”

“Why did you come here?”

This was what I wanted to ask. This jerk, why did he bring me here?

[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ says there is something behind the wall.]

There was something behind the wall? I carefully approached the wall.

“Excuse me, are you listening to me?”

"Shhh." I raised my index finger to my lip and saw Mido pouting. It was painful but I couldn’t afford to soothe her.

I moved sideways and started examining the wall. In any case, there seemed to be a device in the wall. One of the things I learned during my time as a North Korean spy was that there was definitely a way to identify these traps. What should I do? Just then, I saw Solar swaying precariously due to the wind blowing from somewhere.

Wait, wind? I grabbed Solar and utilized it as a lamp. Fortunately, it didn’t burn its master. Solar spoke with a vicious expression, “It hurts! Master, you wretch!”

“Shut up.” 

-Solar is a cute pet. ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ

-The chemistry of the two of them seems good ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ

-Suddenly it became a gag.ㅋ ㅋ ㅋ

-The redness is like a tomato.

-It is exciting ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The audience laughed and just let it pass. However, this wasn’t important right now.

“It is here.” There was a special brick at the end of the wall. The wind seemed to be blowing from nearby. Solar was proving it.

-There seems to be something here?

-Is it something like a secret dungeon?

-Wow. 

-Is this the first time it is being revealed in public?

[Secret Dungeon Gazua has gifted you 90 Star Candy.] 

Clink. I pushed the brick and the wall moved. It seemed to be pushed slightly and there was a gap on the right side. I turned my head toward Mido. “Let’s go.”

“...Did you know there was a secret door here?”

“Nope. I didn’t know.”

“Then how did you...?”

“It’s a coincidence.”

“......” Mido nodded. “I should do it since I’m here anyway. I don’t remember the path back because it is a labyrinth.”

“I will take responsibility for the way back.”

“How?”

“I’ll open a portal.”

“Wow.”

-This game is truly about items.

-Wolf Mask, born of capitalism.

-There is nothing that can’t be done with money.

-The monster of capitalism class.

In an instant, I became a luxurious man. We moved inside and the way down was dark. Fortunately, there was Solar to prevent us from falling. We finally descended all the stairs. “Where is this...?”

“I don't know.”

The surrounding area was filled with broken stones. In the distance, there were unusual buildings made of white stone that gave off a strange feeling. We moved toward it. It was somehow familiar...

Wait, perhaps?

“Who is it? Who dares to wake up this noble body?”

The ground started to shake. Mido screamed and fell while I could hear something huge coming from behind. I struggled to turn my head against the pressure that was crushing my body.

“Damn, this is the Temple of the Wind.”
