“I’m back!”
Lee Woo-jin returned to the Dragon Lair with a light step, his business concluded.
[The God of Order asks if your outing was pleasant.]
“Yes, thanks to you all.”
[The God of Adventure says enviously that he too wishes he could enjoy home-cooked meals at your grandmother’s place.]
[The God of Authority points out that you already bring side dishes your grandmother made to your home regularly.]
[The God of Adventure counters that it’s not the same as visiting in person and being treated there.]
So they really have been watching.
I thought the gods kept sending messages whenever I went to Earth.
“Well then, next time I go out, would you all like to come to my house together? I can let my mother know ahead of time.”
[The God of Adventure breaks into a wide grin and raises his hand enthusiastically in agreement.]
[The God of Authority sighs and says that even if you agree, some things are possible and others aren’t.]
[The God of Order nods solemnly and states that this is precisely the sort of thing that must not happen.]
“Why not?”
[The God of Order explains that when deities descend to the Lower Realm, it places considerable burden on Dimensional Energy. Earth, where Erosion hasn’t yet taken hold, could see its dimensional boundaries blur simply from a god’s descent.]
[The God of Authority puts it plainly: there’s a high likelihood it would bring great chaos to Earth.]
“I see.”
Then it can’t be done. Right.
I’d once told Kim Mi-suk that I’d bring my friends (?) from the tower, but it looks like I won’t be able to keep that promise.
That was when it happened.
[The God of Life greets you.]
“Oh, hello.”
I bowed respectfully.
Lee Woo-jin greeted them with courtesy.
[The God of Life asks whether it’s true that you planted and cultivated the World Tree, as the other gods have said.]
Could something be wrong?
There was no reason to lie, and nothing to hide, so I answered honestly.
“Yes.”
[The God of Life expresses their gratitude.]
[The God of Life says they tried to save the World Tree but couldn’t interfere in Lower Realm affairs, so they were unable to save it.]
I don’t know all the details, but it seems I’ve earned some points.
[The God of Life regrets that the World Tree has lost its memory and knows nothing of the past or of you.]
The God of Life recounted the days gone by in brief.
.
.
.
“I see. So that’s what happened.”
The World Tree, the source of earth and life, a being one might call the mother of all things, had been attacked by the Calamity and its apostolic followers.
Their method was to use trees infused with the Calamity’s power.
These Calamity trees absorbed the life force spreading through the earth, corrupting it, and the World Tree gradually withered.
The God of Life tried to intervene directly to protect the World Tree, but was prevented by the laws of Order and could only watch as it died.
The World Tree, which was connected to the Temple of Life, withered completely. The God of Life, believing the World Tree dead, spent their days in sorrow until the God of Adventure came with news that it was still alive. They came to the Dragon Lair and found the World Tree small and frail, yet growing upright. After that, the God of Life spoke to the World Tree but confirmed it held no memories of the past.
The World Tree, which was originally connected to them, had since recognized you as its master.
[The God of Life says that the World Tree was originally connected to them, but now recognizes you as its master.]
“Then perhaps I should correct that?”
[The God of Life shakes their head and says that since the World Tree chose to follow you, that decision must be respected.]
[The God of Life says they would like to give you a gift as a token of their gratitude for looking after it going forward.]
“A gift?”
[You have acquired Disease Resistance Lv. max.]
[Disease Resistance Lv. max becomes Disease Immunity.]
“…?”
[Disease Immunity]
– Description: You become immune to all disease.
Lee Woo-jin read through the skill description carefully.
Complete immunity to all disease—isn’t this completely broken?
[The God of Life says you needn’t worry, as this has already been discussed and agreed upon by the other gods.]
Bewildered was a better word than worried.
Either way, this was excellent.
Complete immunity to disease.
Disease encompassed everything—common colds and minor ailments, yes, but also the full suite of adult maladies: diabetes, fatty liver, high cholesterol.
What others spent years pursuing through exercise regimens, strict diets, functional supplements, and medications, the God of Life resolved in a single gesture.
Bow.
Lee Woo-jin bent at the waist again, a full ninety degrees.
“Thank you so much!”
[The God of Life smiles warmly.]
Immediately after, Woo-jin used Rainfall on the World Tree, watering her.
“There you go. And if you need anything else, just say the word, okay?”
– Ahhh…….
– Y-yes……. M-my… lo……rd…….
* * *
[The God of Life says he should head back to the Temple of Life.]
[The God of Adventure looks confused. Back? he asks.]
[The God of Life asks if it wouldn’t be strange for him to stay here much longer.]
[The God of Adventure says it’s almost time for dinner.]
[The God of Life blinks. What does that have to do with anything? he asks. You want me to sit and watch a human adventurer eat? he adds.]
[The God of Adventure shrugs and says it’s not about watching—we should eat together.]
[The God of Life, flustered, asks what he means by “together.”]
[The God of Adventure says together means together! Besides, Woo-jin said we’re family.]
[The God of Life says, much like you, I don’t actually need to eat.]
[Pointing to himself, the God of Life continues: I’d rather not trouble Lee Woo-jin on my account.]
Not that dinner wasn’t happening anyway.
One more meal from the God of Life would hardly make a difference to the cooking.
And Woo-jin wanted to repay him for granting the Disease Immunity skill.
Besides.
“I’d really like it if you’d join us for the meal. I’d like to cook for you.”
Good food tastes better when shared.
[The God of Life’s eyes widen in surprise at his words, then he smiles and says he’d be grateful.]
“Of course.”
What would the God of Life enjoy, though?
He had the sense that vegetables might suit him better than meat.
But something that still provided adequate protein.
“Hmm, ah!”
Bibimbap would be perfect.
He’d brought plenty of side dishes from home anyway; mixing together all those vegetable banchan with a swirl of gochujang would be quick, delicious, and nutritious.
Woo-jin retrieved the Black Mithril Pot.
He used Sunlight to kindle the dry wood, then set the rice to cook.
The fragrance of good rice spread through the air.
While it cooked, he laid out the bibimbap ingredients.
All of them from Kim Mi-suk’s kitchen.
Spinach seasoned with generous sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
Zucchini stir-fried in perilla oil.
Bean sprout salad, made without red pepper flakes.
Just three ingredients, but once mixed with gochujang, they’d make a perfectly satisfying bibimbap.
And really, that wasn’t all.
Bubble-bubble!
While the rice cooked, Woo-jin was making doenjang-jjigae.
Soft tofu cut into generous chunks and simmered in the broth.
The seasoning soaked perfectly into the tofu.
Unlike last time, he’d kept this batch simmery and loose—not quite a thick paste, but concentrated enough that a spoonful stirred into the bibimbap would bring out an umami richness.
With finely chopped onion and scallion scattered through the stew, eating it mixed with the bibimbap would add wonderful texture.
(……) Hunger.
“Patience. Just a bit longer.”
Soon the rice finished cooking.
Everything was ready.
Woo-jin brought out the stone bowls he’d stacked.
He filled each with a serving of freshly cooked rice, then arranged the bibimbap ingredients in a circle around it.
Seasoned spinach.
Stir-fried zucchini.
Bean sprout salad.
And so the stone bowls filled with bibimbap ingredients were complete.
[The God of Adventure laughs and asks if he can just take them now.]
“Wait, not yet. Let me show you how to eat it first.”
[The God of Adventure says, “Huh? Isn’t this finished already?”]
“From here on it’s simple. What you do is……”
I scooped a spoonful of gochujang from the container and placed it in the bowl.
After spreading the gochujang over the rice.
I added several spoonfuls of the simmering soybean paste stew—one, two, three spoonfuls—scooping in plenty of solid ingredients including the tofu.
The vegetables and chunks of tofu went in generously.
Then I began to mix it all together with the spoon.
The vegetables, gochujang, and soybean paste stew blended with the rice in a swirl, turning it a vibrant crimson red.
“Bibimbap complete!”
I scooped up a generous spoonful.
The kind that barely fits in your mouth when you open it wide.
I bit into it in one go.
Chew, chew.
“Just eat it like this. How much gochujang and soybean stew you add is up to your preference—too much and it’ll be too spicy.”
[The God of Adventure nods and takes the bowls with him.]
“Woo-jin, am I doing this right?”
“Yeah, you’ve got it. Let me mix yours for you.”
(……) Done.
The Doppelganger made the bibimbap well on its own.
(……) Surprise!
(……) Incredibly delicious!
“Heh heh. See?”
[The God of Life mimics your movements exactly, mixing the rice and ingredients together with a spoon.]
[The God of Life scoops up a proper spoonful of bibimbap and brings it to his mouth.]
[The God of Life’s eyes widen noticeably.]
“How is it?”
[The God of Life nods vigorously up and down, saying he’s never tasted anything this delicious before.]
Day 57 since arriving at the tower.
Eating bibimbap for supper.
