TL: Hanguk

Krueng?

While wandering around the party hall, Cuengi noticed some skeleton dogs staring at Sejun with malicious intent. It’s not that Cuengi has learned bad language, but they were actually skeletons with dog heads.

(Pip-pip! How dare they look at Sejun like that!!! Brother Cuengi, should I take care of them?!)

The golden bat, angered by the skeleton dogs looking at Sejun with hostile gazes, whispered to Cuengi while making a throat-slitting gesture with its wing.

Krueng! Krueng!

[No! I’ve never seen anyone weaker than dad!]

(Pip-pip. Well, that’s true!)

Finding someone weaker than Sejun on the 99th floor was like plucking stars from the sky. Therefore, Cuengi decided to restore his dad’s confidence!

Krueng!

[Golden bat, hide over there!]

(Pip-pip! Yes, Brother Cuengi!)

They hid behind a table and kept an eye on the skeleton dogs approaching Sejun.

Then,

Sniff sniff.

Cuengi and the golden bat smelled something delicious.

Krueng!

[It smells like honey!]

(Pip-pip! Brother Cuengi! I smell something fragrant too!]

Unfortunately, the table they hid behind had Garaetteok (rice cakes) smeared with honey and strawberries, and they got distracted by the food.

***

Among the skeletons, there is a caste system called ‘Bone Rank,’ which determines one’s status based on the bones.

It classifies the skeletons into five levels based on who owned the bone originally, the power of the bone’s original owner, and how well its shape is maintained.

Sacred Bone – True Bone – Noble Bone – Common Bone – Mixed Bone.

From True Bone onwards, skeletons are treated as nobility.

True Bone skeletons from the 93rd floor, following Sacred Bone Ker and his son Ber to the party, discovered a skeleton. Although they couldn’t determine the original owner of the bone, it had less than 0.1% of its original power and was greatly deformed.

‘A Mixed Bone.’

They assumed the Mixed Bone skeleton was a slave following its master since they too had struggled to attend the party where the lowest Mixed Bone skeleton was present.

So they ordered the lowest-ranking true bone skeleton among them to collect the bone. Offering one’s bone signifies submission in skeleton society. It was a light jest by the True Bone skeletons.

That’s why Koto, a lowest-ranking true true bone skeleton from the 20th floor, approached Sejun and demanded the bone.

***

“Keuk.”

“Kuk kuk kuk.”

From afar, the sound of True Bone skeletons holding back their laughter could be heard, all because of Koto being ignored even by a slave.

“Hey! You! Quickly offer your bone!”

As Koto raised his voice and reached out towards Sejun, If he returned empty-handed after being ignored by a Mixed Bone, it would be a stain on his reputation forever.

“Ugh!”

Sejun, thinking Koto was attacking, quickly raised his arm in defense.

“If you won’t offer it, I will take it myself!”

Koto grabbed Sejun’s arm.

‘Crazy bastard!’

Frightened Sejun, seeing Koto demanding the bone, swung his arm to shake off Koto’s hand.

And then,

Thwack!

Koto’s arm was detached way too easily. More precisely, the bone in Koto’s arm came off.

“What?!”

Sejun was startled by the unexpected situation and then realized,

‘Right! I’ve become strong!’

He had forgotten because he had been with beings from the 99th floor, but Sejun had the ability to easily overpower those from around the 20th floor.
