“President Po?”

I dimly remembered it—a penguin character wearing gla.s.ses with a yellow hat .  My youngest daughter Seohyeon often showed this guy to appease her children .  The name was . . .

“Ponono . ”

Kim Sujeong held back a burst of laughter when she heard my words .  Come to think of it, my current appearance was similar to that of 'Ponono . '

Blue clothes with some orange mixed in .  A yellow hat .  I didn't have a penguin's beak or fur but my appearance was really similar .  Just then, Drain opened his mouth and put an end to it, “Wow, that's right! I made clothes with the Ponono concept! It goes really well together! Jesus!”

What Jesus bulls.h.i.+t . You should double-check it .  My face suddenly reddened and I quickly took off the emperor penguin suit, throwing it to Drain .

“Fix it so it is more adultlike . It doesn't fit my age . ”

"Wat? No! It looks great . Buroder! Bery kyuti!”

Drain continued to follow with the clothes, saying it was a good fit .  I tried to ignore him and asked Taibeus next to me, “Is Midnight Sun Wanderer still here?”

“Yes . I've heard the story . The Black Night Wanderer . . . ”

“We can talk about it later . ”

I didn't want to think about bad memories .  Even if it was inevitable, it was still sending a constellation to the cradle of the stars .  I knew what that place was like so I couldn't bring myself to talk about it .  This was my way of atonement for him .

“I'm sorry . I shouldn't have brought it up . ”

“No, I'm just not ready for it yet . I'm even sorrier . I will go to the snowy mountain for a while . ”

I left him behind and walked alone .  Drain was still following me while talking about the clothes and Kim Sujeong followed behind me as well .  I asked her who was following quietly, “How do you feel about acquiring the constellation you wanted so much?”

“ . . . I don't know yet . I wanted it so much but now I think it is too heavy . ”

“There is a saying that with great power comes great responsibility . It was a line in a movie although I don't remember where I saw it . ”

Drain next to me cried out with amazement, “Miss Kim! Did you eat a Star Fruit?”

“Yes, it just happened . ”

“Wow! Conguratulasions! Congratulations! BAAAM!”

"Thank you . I think Grandfather Drain will also get a chance . ”

“Oh, I'm fine . I only think about fas.h.i.+on . This is enough . ”

We entered a familiar place as we were talking .  It was the huge snowy mountain in the northwest where Romelana lived .

“Oh, there is a huge blizzard . I would've frozen and died without Solar . ”

Drain muttered as he looked around curiously . It was a natural reaction since this was the first time he had been here .  We soon arrived near the basin and Fenrir opened his mouth, “Guruk .  You came . ”

[The wolf star, 'Romelana,' welcomes you . ]

[The nearby 'spiritual barrier' is temporarily loosened . ]

White light shone in the blizzard and the surrounding scenery changed .  Drain saw the white crystals and ice and exclaimed, “Oh mai got!”

This guy's English was too noisy .  English had some exaggerated expressions, unlike Korean .  It was a bit annoying to keep listening to it .  Still, looking at the chatty Drain, I felt it was a good thing I didn't take him along before .  If we had taken him along, we would've been plagued by his noise all the way to Nutscher .

. . . Well, he was a good guy .  His innate nature itself wasn't bad .  It was just that this 60 year old person was a bit of a chatterbox .  A familiar figure was revealed in the crumbling scene .  It was the n.o.ble white wolf, Romelana . Now she was a lone wolf who had lost her husband and became a widow .

[You came . I've been waiting . ]

What was this? There were black spheres floating around her .  They had an aura that was contrary to the power of the midnight sun . I knew the ident.i.ty of this power .

“Black night . . . ?”

[That's right . ]

“How?”

Romelana spoke as if answering my question, [Remus left it behind after his death . It is his Star Piece . ]

“Star Piece!”

I felt like I was struck with a hammer the moment I heard it .  A constellation would leave behind a Star Piece if they died . . . ? This wasn't something that Prometheus remembered .  500 years ago, there wasn't a single star who died in battle against the Army of Death in Ragnarok .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is nodding with amazement . ]

It seemed this guy was discovering it for the first time .

[Fenrir, have you conveyed my will to the people of Nutscher?]

“Yes, Mother . ”

[What did they say?]

“They said they would follow your words while grieving over Father's death . ”

[I'm glad . What would I have done if they didn't follow . . . ]

What did this mean? It wasn't just me who wondered about this .  Prometheus possessed Solar and opened his mouth, “Romelana, how are you going to help Nutscher's residents?”

[ . . . I'm going to become a first-grade constellation, Prometheus . ]

Prometheus' blue eyes widened .

“What? Don't tell me you . . . ”

[Yes, I'm currently purifying Remus' Star Piece that has been defiled . Did you say it was a Pandora fragment? It is a really wicked power . It isn't easy to drive out . ]

“Shall I help you?”

[No need . I have to do it . If someone else's power is involved then I won't become first-grade . ]

“Che . I understand . ”

Prometheus released the possession and returned Solar's body .  Solar orbited around me in a seemingly good mood .  I didn't know what they were talking about just now so I asked Romelana, “Why does it matter to the inhabitants of Nutscher if you rise to first-grade?”

[I promised them the black night . In order to do this, I need to absorb Remus' power and rise to the first-grade . Before that, I want to lend you strength . It is to get revenge on Aldebaran . ]

“How will you lend it to me?”

[I will purify this and give it to you . It is a Star Piece with Remus' full power . If it is you then you can use it . ]

My eyes widened at the words Star Piece and full power .  Minotaur wouldn't be a problem if I could obtain this .  It was better to have a full-powered Star Piece than two weakened Star Pieces .

“Do you have a price?”

[You are quick to notice . It isn't big . I'm just asking you to let me know when you find Aldebaran . ]

[Constellation Quest - Romelana's Revenge]

[Difficulty: SS

Romelana, one of the constellations dominating the North Pole, is asking you to find Aldebaran for the sake of revenge for her husband, Remus . If you find Aldebaran, you must let her know .

-Completion Conditions: Discover Aldebaran 0/1

-Rewards: The help of Romelana and the welsh wolves . ]

It was a quest information window I hadn't seen for a long time .  It was a quest with an SS-grade difficulty but it wasn't bad for me .  If I eliminated Minotaur then I would become enemies with Aldebaran .  We would have to fight one day so it would be good to have reinforcements .

“I will do so . ”

[The quest has been accepted . ]

We descended the snowy mountain and returned to Taibeus' igloo .  Kim Sujeong was busy talking to her constellation, Camille, while Drain had started attaching icicles again, saying that he would make the emperor penguin suit look more stylish .  I sat down with my hand on my chin as I stared out of the window in contemplation .

10 days . . .

Romelana said it would take 10 days to completely cleanse Remus' Star Piece .  It was a lot longer than I thought but there were still 17 days remaining for the quest .  I remembered that it took two days to cross the sea so we should make it in time .

“The problem is what to do in the meantime . . . ”

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' wants you to cook . ]

“Cook? Are you hungry?"

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' says it isn't because he is hungry . ]

This b.a.s.t.a.r.d was probably hungry . . .

“I don't want to . ” 

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is making a grouchy expression . ]

In fact, cooking seemed difficult here .  The environment here was very vulnerable to Solar .  I didn't know if it would be different if Solar's level was higher but with this type of firepower, cooking here wasn't possible .  It might've been different if I had the clouds elemental and learned snow cooking .  There was no shortage of food because I had already made a lot of dishes on the s.h.i.+p .  Just then, Taibeus' voice was heard from behind me, “What are you thinking about so deeply?”

“I'm just wondering what to do here for 10 days . ”

“You must have many thoughts . This is the best time for gula . Here . ”

I drank the gula he handed me but it tasted a bit bitter .  It was a familiar taste for some reason . Perhaps . . . ?

“Is it alcohol?”

“Oh, you realized? That's right . We also mix gula with alcohol . ”

The taste of gula mixed with alcohol was better than I expected .  It was the combination of warm c.o.ke and alcohol .  I thought it would be pretty good if I drank it this way in reality .  I felt better with the alcohol flowing through my throat .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is looking at you and gulping . ]

“Delicious . ”

"Then I'm glad . If you don't have anything to do for 10 days then why not hunt? The ice jaguars are making trouble to the south of here . I think you'll be able to help . ”

[Fight the Ice Jaguars!]

Difficulty:

To the south of the daytime village of Diya, it is said that the ice jaguars are causing trouble .

Taibeus, who is in charge of security here, is struggling to hunt them .

He is asking you for help . Kill the ice jaguars .

-Completion Conditions: Ice Jaguars 0/100

-Rewards: 5% experience, Gula's Special Magic Power Potion (Large)

-A repeatable quest . Can't be performed when level 150 or higher .

-The contents of the monster may change when you complete the quest . ]

Hoh? The rewards were better than I thought .  I am currently at level 90 .  After the fight with Remus, I had gained a tremendous 20 levels .  I happily agreed .

“That's great . I'll go and kill them . ”

[The quest has been accepted . ]

“Thank you . I am looking forward to your skills . May December's blessing be with you!”

I was smiling and drinking gula when I received the message that Gyeonso Dragon had logged in .  He had logged out earlier from this place so he walked over and found me instantly .  I called out to him, “Gyeonso Dragon . ”

“Yes, Brother . Good morning . ”

“We've done the greetings . Let's go to level up . ”

At the same time, something exploded .

Peng! Peng peng! Peeng!

I could hear cheers from the water beast species in the distance .  Diya's residents were roaring at the sky .  The Coca species cried out and the seal-like people clapped .  Taibeus watched the scene from the side and said, “It looks like a day has pa.s.sed . ”

I looked up at the sky with him .  If I remembered correctly, the Aurora would indicate when a day had pa.s.sed here .  I watched the Aurora that signaled a new day .

“Now there are 16 days left . ”

There were 16 days remaining to complete the quest .
