Chapter 78
78: Does This Make Me a Successor Too? (1)
Sector 53 Corridor, nestled within the D-rank Zone’s Labyrinth Terrain, was hardly a bustling Safe Zone. The heterogeneous beings here were sparse, and as the endpoint of Basement Level 1, it had become a gathering place for weaker dimensional races rather than the elite.
Elves appeared from time to time, but they were always hurrying about with spirits leading the way, searching for something with singular purpose.
Regardless, the Safe Zone attracted many merchants eager to earn points through commerce, and Sector 53 Corridor, being on the outer edge, had an unusually high concentration of them.
Since weaker races congregated here, many preferred earning points through commerce rather than hunting.
As a result, restaurants flourished, and the Dohyun Party gazed around with evident fascination.
“Everything here is new to me.”
“Some of it actually looks delicious.”
“Hmm, this seems like good casual dining.”
With so many shops run by races from other dimensions, I found the novelty intriguing, while Hanalin secretly swallowed hard at the appetizing-looking dishes, and Jiyuchan—who had been so combative with me at the Sparring Hall earlier—had already reverted to his usual demeanor.
As the three of us wandered and browsed, I pointed toward a particularly promising establishment and asked.
“What about that one?”
Unable to decide until then, Hanalin and Jiyuchan turned their heads at my suggestion, revealing a restaurant serving Western-style cuisine reminiscent of what you’d find in South Korea.
Since it resembled Earth cuisine closely enough to avoid any sense of revulsion, we took our seats. Beastkin with tails or animal ears adorning their heads—otherwise resembling humans—approached and handed us menus.
Their eyes swept over the Dohyun Party with the curt, suspicious gaze of a discriminatory European establishment.
Then.
“You do have points, right?”
Treated like beggars, I, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan exchanged glances and chuckled softly.
Come to think of it, having only frequented Hunting Grounds until now, this was my first encounter with such discrimination—a novel sensation. And reflecting on it, every heterogeneous being who had spoken that way before had been a Villain, so this felt refreshingly authentic.
Regardless, I waved my hand dismissively while simultaneously releasing my pressure.
Though I thought it somewhat pitiful, I refrained from mixing in the will of dragon slaying.
“!!!!!!”
The Animal-Eared Beastkin, having tasted my pressure—which far exceeded that of a typical D-rank Hunter—flinched in shock and trembled violently before collapsing into a seat.
I wondered if I’d been too harsh, but I wasn’t merciful enough to concern myself with the mental state of someone who discriminates, so I spoke as though dismissing them.
“Yeah, we have it, so just wait for the order.”
“I-I’m terribly sorry!!”
Only then did the Animal-Eared Beastkin realize my true strength and had no choice but to flee the area in panic.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan accepted my behavior not as excessive, but as inevitable.
The Black Gate was simply that kind of place.
A world far more savage than Earth, where the strong preyed upon the weak as a matter of course.
That’s why cases like mine—using only pressure and nothing more—were rare.
Typically, if a strong being were disrespected like that, destroying the building itself would be commonplace.
Only Hunters were prohibited from attacking within Safe Zones; buildings could be demolished freely.
In that sense, my approach could be considered genteel.
“It’s amusing how humans are immediately looked down upon and discriminated against.”
“Right?”
That glance alone made me acutely aware of how thoroughly humanity was despised within the Black Gate.
Even Animal-Eared Beastkin, themselves a weak race like humans, were discriminating against us.
That’s why most Earth Hunters typically ate only the meals provided in their Dormitories, but the Dohyun Party had come out seeking a bit of camaraderie.
Even though I had faced discrimination, it didn’t bother me or sour my mood.
So when the Dohyun Party ignored the rude Employee and tried to select from the menu,
one of the customers at a nearby table whistled and glanced toward where Dohyun was seated.
“Whew, that’s quite impressive control.”
At the words of admiration and recognition, Dohyun turned his head in curiosity, only to see a Heterogeneous Being with a humanoid appearance but crimson eyes, with horns protruding from their head.
Looking more closely, I could see horns sprouting from her back as well.
I didn’t know what race she was, but one thing was certain—she was formidable.
The fact that she was marveling at my control was anything but ordinary.
Hanalin and Jiyuchan regarded her with some caution, but Dohyun found her intriguing instead.
Since there was no hostility whatsoever—only pure admiration—Dohyun habitually activated Analysis, and she suddenly widened her eyes.
And then Dohyun could see her status window.
『Hezeway Paraksarl』
『Trait: Twilight Dragon Emperor [S]』
『Skills』
▶「Descendant of the Dragon Emperor [S]」

※She is a Yongin.
※As a member of her race, the gap is too great—only one skill can be acquired.
[Through the effect of the skill 「Sword King’s Intuition [A]」, 『Analysis』 succeeded.]
[You acquire 2000 AP.]
‘A Yongin???’
I had heard they existed, but this was my first time seeing one in person.
Moreover, upon seeing an S-rank trait I’d never encountered at the Black Gate, my eyes couldn’t help but gleam. Looking at her stats and skills, she clearly surpassed Gallaclro by a considerable margin.
Though I had trained all day today, recalling how the three of us had given our all against Gallaclro yesterday, I couldn’t help but wonder if we could defeat this Hezeway Paraksarl.
‘She’s an incredibly formidable opponent.’
No wonder she had marveled at my mana control—she was undoubtedly a powerhouse.
As Dohyun analyzed her status window with admiration, Hezeway Paraksarl, seeing the gleam in his eyes, suddenly sprouted scales across her humanoid skin and assumed a defensive stance.
Shiiiiing——
However, when nothing happened, Hezway looked at Dohyun with a puzzled expression, and Dohyun’s party was equally bewildered, wondering what she was doing.
In their mutual confusion, Hezway suddenly remembered that this was a Safe Zone and put the scales away, but that sensation from moments ago remained vividly fresh in her mind.
When Dohyun tried to analyze her status window, she felt the entire world trembling around him as if everything was flowing toward his center—she blinked and murmured.
“…Was it an illusion?”
“Huh?”
“…There was no mana flow, so it didn’t seem like magic, but it’s an incomprehensible phenomenon.”
“Hmm?”
“Ah, I think I know what it is.”
“Well, Dohyun’s eyes are rather peculiar, aren’t they?”
???
At Hezway’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement for some reason, and Hezway finally relaxed her guard.
She realized that Dohyun hadn’t done it with any particular intention.
With that understanding, Hezway spoke to Dohyun.
“Menu items 2, 4, and 13 are exceptionally delicious. The others are quite good too, but I’d recommend those three.”
Watching Hezway recommend the delicious dishes, Dohyun smiled and replied.
“Oh? Thanks. Then let’s order those three plus 5 and 9, and share them.”
“Sounds good.”
“Good. If it’s not enough, we can always order more.”
Not only Dohyun but also Hanalin and Jiyuchan responded the same way and placed their order, and watching them, Hezway was inwardly marveling as if she’d witnessed something remarkable.
Unlike Dohyun seeing Yongin for the first time, Hezway had seen many Human Parties before, but even she had never encountered a Human Party as powerful as Dohyun’s party.
‘I’ve seen humans at best at the mid-tier race level, but a Human Party at the Superior Race level is a first for me.’
She couldn’t help but marvel at Dohyun’s party, and Hezway was quite astonished.
Moreover, what was that sensation she’d felt when Dohyun looked at her?
Though she couldn’t understand it, Hezway recalled that sensation from earlier, suppressed the goosebumps that had risen on her skin, and composed herself.
It was a peculiar sensation she’d never felt even from the Lord she’d seen in the distant past, so she judged that she must have been mistaken about something and shook her head.
While Hezway was lost in thought, Dohyun’s party thanked her after placing their order.
“Thanks.”
“It was just a simple recommendation. I’m Hezeway Paraksarl. And you all are?”
Though it was a sudden introduction, Dohyun answered without much concern.
“Dohyun.”
“Hanalin.”
“Jiyuchan.”
As Dohyun’s party answered in turn, Hezway nodded at them.
“Hmm, I’ve been promoted this time, so I won’t be seen in the D-rank Zone anymore, but it seems like you’ll be promoted soon as well. If the opportunity arises, let’s meet again.”
With those words, Hezway stood up, paid the bill, and left leisurely. Hanalin and Jiyuchan watched her depart with curiosity.
They found such a Heterogeneous Being novel since it was their first encounter with one, but Hanalin, separate from that, spoke with admiration.
“Her mana control itself was absurdly exceptional, but she wasn’t a Mage.”
At Hanalin’s curious remark, Jiyuchan agreed and responded.
“She was a spear user of tremendous skill.”
“I knew she was technique-based, but I didn’t know she used a spear.”
“You can tell by looking at her hands. She was quite skilled. Every single movement was extraordinary.”
Jiyuchan’s admiration was shared by Hanalin.
Even just watching, it was clear she was no ordinary fighter.
Dohyun, too, had been staring at the spot where Hezway had disappeared for quite some time.
And then.
“She’s a Healer who uses a spear.”
“Pardon?”
“Huh?”
At Dohyun’s sudden remark, both of them tilted their heads in confusion, then recalled how he’d recommended the menu and exchanged puzzled glances.
She certainly displayed the characteristics of a spear user, so calling her a Healer was strange—but then again, Dohyun saying odd things wasn’t exactly a rare occurrence.
They simply nodded in acceptance.
“It’s rare to meet a Heterogeneous Being who’s friendly, so we’re grateful.”
“We don’t really know much just from the menu description anyway.”
Though they spoke this way, Dohyun didn’t particularly respond.
That wasn’t why he’d said thank you for the menu recommendation.
Even as he said that, Dohyun was reading the message visible only to him.
[You consume 5000 AP to acquire the skill 「Heir of the Dragon Emperor [S]」 from Hezeway Paraksarl.]
[This skill exceeds your current stats.]
[Your stats will increase slightly beyond their original limits.]
[Due to acquiring this skill, your mana permanently increases by +7.]
[You cannot use this skill at its original power.]
‘I’m really grateful for this.’
Thanks to her, I was able to obtain a new S-rank skill.
