“First, we need to set up the Absolute Barrier! Without that, we won’t even be able to start! I always make sure to layer the Absolute Barrier in multiple overlaps.”

- ㄴSensei, the difficulty is already off the charts?
- ㄴHaha, if you want to even survive touching that, you need to do this much.
- ㄴ(Wealthy): Absolute… overlap… memo...
- ㄴIsn’t the Absolute Barrier at least 9 circles?
- ㄴHahaha, how many people can actually do this?ㅋㅋ
- ㄴChildren and the elderly should not try this.

“Hmm, hmm. You’ve got your fire resistance taken care of, right? I can skip this part thanks to my racial traits. But for the other resistances… I’ll rely on artifacts...”

- ㄴTrying extreme sports might bankrupt the whole family, haha.
- ㄴAnd they have to be used like consumables, too, haha.
- ㄴWhat the heck...
- ㄴFor real, a dopamine-addicted lizard, haha.
- ㄴHahaha, you’ll need to be at least a dragon to join the class.
- ㄴI’ll just watch.
- ㄴYou’ll probably only be able to watch anyway, haha.

Yongyong (Dragon), wrapped in all kinds of defense magic circles and artifacts, looked thoroughly pleased.

“Haha, then let’s get started, shall we?”

- ㄴKkirit!
- ㄴKiyahhooo!
- ㄴGggg
- ㄴDal-ryeo!
- ㄴSwariz-le!
- ㄴHahahahaha

When Yongyong activated the trigger, light began to shine from the densely packed magic circles around him.

Absorbing the massive mana from the Dragonheart at the center, the magic circles began to rise, merging to create a spectacular display of light.

- ㄴAmazing!!
- ㄴFor real, a magic genius, haha.
- ㄴA reckless, immature guy, but turns out he’s a magic prodigy? Hahaha.
- ㄴWell, he is immature, haha.
- ㄴDopamine slave, haha.

“Alright, alright! Here it comes! It’s coming! It’s coming!”

Normally, when you mess with a dimensional passage, one of four things gets delivered:

- Nuclear bomb
- Gravity bomb
- Implosion bomb
- Magnetic bomb

This is the fact that the Red Dragon himself learned through experience!

“Well, what will it be this time?!”

- ㄴNuclear, let’s go!
- ㄴHahaha, I nearly had a heart attack when the Implosion bomb went off!
- ㄴOh, even dragons are hurt by this, huh? Haha.
- ㄴEtiquette bomb, haha.

284 compound magic circles derived from 72 different arrays started activating and lightly touched the passage connected to the [Dimensional Integration Community].

Of course, Yongyong wasn’t trying to get himself killed, so he only lightly triggered it.

Then...

“It’s here!! Hahaha!! Gravity bomb!!”

- ㄴYongyong’s favorite bomb delivery, thanks!
- ㄴHahaha, extreme amusement park ride incoming!
- ㄴLet’s go!!
- ㄴHahahaha

The warhead began to fall from the sky.

“Aaaagh! First thing’s first, get as far away as possible from the explosion center!”

Direct hits are dangerous!!

- Squeeeeeak-

When Yongyong desperately leaped into action, the black warhead that fell from the sky made contact with the ground.

Boom!

- Crackle-
- Ssshhh-
- Kuuuwoaaaah-

“Aaaahhh!!”

A dome-shaped shockwave began expanding rapidly from the epicenter.

- Groooaan- Groooan-
- Whooosh-
- Krrrrrooom-

Inside the dome, black lightning rained down like a storm, shaking everything around it.

Having successfully moved to the edge, Yongyong’s body suddenly lost balance and began to be pulled toward the epicenter.

“Aaahhh!!”

Gravitational mutation.

Gravitational anomaly zone.

His body was sucked into the center of something that could only be guessed at.

Though it was hard to even open his mouth, thinking of the viewers, Yongyong forced himself to speak.

“Th-the, eheheh, next is speed!”

Such dedication to his job, huh?

- ㄴThe next important thing is speed?
- ㄴWow, what’s that?
- ㄴLook at the speed with which Yongyong’s artifact is breaking!
- ㄴAll the overlapping shield spells destroyed! Hahaha.
- ㄴNow I get why he said we need the Absolute Barrier...
- ㄴCrazy.

The gravitational field expanded for dozens of kilometers around the epicenter, and gravity began to twist uncontrollably.

The ground cracked, rose, and everything—rocks, trees, anything within range—began to wildly tear apart like gravel.

Yongyong desperately cast magic and started flying within the gravitational field.

He had to squeeze every bit of energy to maintain the distance from the epicenter.

“Erellerellere!”

Yongyong’s body bounced around like a ping-pong ball, teleporting at light speed as it spun within the field.

“Aaahhh!!”

The thrill was so intense it made his whole body tingle and his mind nearly go blank!

- Hmm? But this seems different from last time?
- Where?
- Look over there, on the left.
- Hm? You’re right, what is that?
- It looks like a black hole…?

Screaming in excitement, Yongyong didn’t notice the danger in time.

“Kyaahahaha! This is the best! It’s thrilling! Always something new!!”

- Huh? That black thing is getting bigger?
- Yongyong, wake up. Something’s messed up, haha.
- Haha, for real, are you not hearing this? Haha.
- Hahahaha, Yongyong’s express ride to the River Styx, bye bye.
- Is this some kind of punishment? Something’s off this time.
- Huh? Wait, is it just my screen glitching?
- Yeah, mine too. The screen started glitching after that vortex thing appeared.

“Hm?”

By the time Yongyong realized, it was already too late.

“Kkweeeek!”

- Crackle—
- Sssss-

Yongyong’s body was sucked into the black current in an instant.

...

- Déjà vu?
- Ah...?
- He was a good dragon.
- Farewell, Yongyong.
- We won’t forget you.
- Hahaha, crazy.
- For real? Is this the end?
- Did he die? What happened? What’s that?

A stream of comments filled with concern for Yongyong poured in, but he had already disappeared, and Yongyong TV soon ended.

For a while, Fire Dragon's video became the talk of the community, buzzing with excitement.

---

**Continued:**

“Ugh, I’m dead.”

Dead? Or alive?

In such a miserable state, even I couldn’t tell.

“Agh, my body’s aching. What the hell is this? Ugh.”

But…!

It was fun.

No regrets!

“Wait… where am I?”

The thick fog surrounding me obscured everything.

- Kkiieeek!

Unidentified beast sounds echoed from somewhere.

But who am I?

A Red Dragon.

I’m not some rookie who would be scared by an environment like this, right?

Yongyong, breathing easily, cast a spell.

“Ugh?”

There were two problems.

One was that I used fire magic and light magic, but the fog didn’t budge at all.

- Crackle—

The other was that the mana in the air wasn’t responding properly.

- Crackle… sizzle.

A fireball ignited weakly, then fizzled out with a pop.

“...”

Yongyong, who could control mana like breathing and had never failed with fire magic before, was completely stunned.

“Now that I think about it…”

Why is my body so heavy?

Ugh.

Even moving was difficult.

It felt like gravity was pressing down on me many times over.

Simply increased gravity wouldn’t make this much of a difference for my body. But here, it was hard to even stand.

‘The mana itself is heavy.’

A dragon begins with mana and ends with mana.

It must be affected by this.

“Well, I still need to move.”

I could feel an unsettling presence even in the fog-covered forest, a murderous intent that even I, as a dragon, found alarming.

“Ugh… Polymorph is out of the question.”

If I returned to my main form now, I’d be walking target practice.

In a place like this, I couldn’t risk it.

Then...

- Whiissshh— Rustle—

“Hm?”

Something was approaching.

- Kkiyaaah!

Emerging from the bushes was a goblin-sized creature with dark skin.

“Hah?”

Even though my body’s not in great shape, would I be defeated by such a lowly creature?

Yongyong casually cast a spell.

“Hellfire.”

In that brief moment, I adapted.

- Puff—

The crimson Hellfire struck the monstrous goblin right in the face.

Kuhh.

As expected.

Though it wasn’t anywhere near full power, casting the spell was no problem.

A dragon recognized for his magical talent!

But...

“Hm?”

- Kkirr

ikk

Even with Hellfire burning on its face, the goblin didn’t fall.

“Hellfire.”

- Puff—

If it’s not powerful enough, I’ll cast it again!

- Kkiieeek!

The mutated goblin, its head burning, charged forward with its yellow teeth bared.

Huh? What?

Crazy! How dare this goblin be so arrogant!

Of course, it didn’t exactly look like a typical goblin. But still!

Yongyong, now enraged, clenched his teeth.

Thud thud.

They wrestled, biting and tearing at each other in a brutal fight.

After a bloody struggle, Yongyong barely managed to bring the creature down.

“Gahhh… Hahhh… It’s nothing….”

I’m Dragon Dragon! A Red Dragon!

If only my body was in peak condition!

At that moment...

- Kkriik
- Kkiieeek
- Grrr

Three mutated goblins emerged from the fog.

Wait, one’s bigger. Orc size?

“…”

In the end, Yongyong had to strategically retreat, finding a hiding spot and catching his breath.

Though, of course, the retreat wasn’t without a fierce battle.

Every monster that appeared in the fog seemed to cause him more trouble.

“What the hell is going on here?”

Damn it, I messed up! Please, send me back!

Of course, no response came.

The [Dimensional Integration Community] was down.

Amidst his confusion, something was detected.

“!!”

Crazy!

What’s that?!

A presence that shook my soul? Fear?

Kooowwaaa-!

Even at a distance, an overwhelming, deafening sound shook my ears.

My body was blown through the air like paper.

I barely managed to regain my balance, holding onto a tree branch.

“!!”

A chill ran up from my toes!

The tension I felt—something I, as the mightiest of creatures, had never felt before!

Curiosity, embedded in Yongyong’s genes, started to rise.

Gulp—

In that moment, the [Dimensional Integration Community] connected.

- Huh? Are you alive?
- Where are you?
- What’s going on? The connection keeps cutting in and out.
- Something’s wrong. It’s crackling.
- I can’t hear anything!
- Yongyong isn’t dead, haha.

However, Yongyong didn’t have time to check the community.

What? What’s going on?

Yongyong, fully armed with stealth and defensive spells, cautiously moved forward.

- Why’s he so tense?
- He’s more nervous than ever, haha.
- Yongyong, answer us!
- The donation system’s down too, haha.
- Is Master Jutdak not doing anything!?

Cautiously.

Slowly.

With his senses heightened, Yongyong carefully moved forward.

“!!”

He saw someone’s back floating above him.

‘What’s this? It feels strangely familiar…’

The golden armor covering the figure, long poles circling around them.

Yongyong’s mind raced.

- What’s that? Who is that?
- Yongyong really looks shocked, huh?
- The spear…?
- Oh, haha.
- Why’s Yongyong so scared? Haha.
- Is there a fight going on?

Yongyong finally managed to recall something.

No way.

“!!”

Could it be?

Yongyong’s mouth fell open.
