1 – Servant of Dragon Academy

The current time is 8:00 PM.

「Dang-! dang-! dang-! dang-! dang-! dang-! dang-! Dang-!」

The grandfather clock chimes in time. Maybe because it’s night, the bell sounds especially harsh today.

“I ended up working overtime today. I need to finish quickly and go to work.”

As always, I muttered to myself as I spurred on the deadline.

ㅡdalgrak, moongrak… !

ㅡ Podeudeuk, podeudeuk!

It takes a year just to wash the dishes piled up like a mountain in the sink. Anything that is simple labor is the most troublesome method.

But why are there so many dishes to wash?

Simple. Because there were so many guests.

It was because after the first John Johnson went, they rushed in at the same time.

Of course, those guests were all faculty members of the academy.

Thanks to the experience of working at a cafe with a bakery for about a year in college, it was something I was used to. But, anyway… … . When guests flocked at once, no matter how fast they moved, the dishes would pile up.

“It’s been a while since I’ve worked overtime, but everyone is doing too much. The cafe closes at 6pm… … .”

Faculty members originally loved going home from work.

But I guess I couldn’t help it today.

That’s right, the new semester starts tomorrow.

Because of that, the faculty members who finished their unwanted overtime shifts flocked like dogs after finishing their overtime shifts just before 6:00.

It’s overtime, so how can you work overtime if you get off work before 6 o’clock? Even the extra allowance comes out indiscriminately. As far as I know, it seems that the retirement pension will also be paid later.

There is no separate adamantium rice bowl.

No matter what your salary is,

I was envious of the staff’s war labels.

Looking at the conditions alone, there was no separate job for God.

‘But what? You’ve been working overtime for about an hour and then you’re making such a nasty noise?’

Most of the teaching staff who stopped by this place after work had an obvious purpose. He used to complain to me to soothe the stress accumulated at work with coffee.

Even coffee and tea are free.

I used to get tips from time to time.

There was no way to get out of the academy, so there was nothing to spend money on.

“Still, compared to Johnson, everyone is on the kind side… … .”

As I wiped the last cup with a towel, I chewed over the faces of the faculty members I had met over the past month.

Dwarf John Johnson of the General Affairs Division,

Elf Erdin of the Management Division,

The lion of the guard section, the beastman Berman,

Indra, the wooden man of the Academic Affairs and Administration Division.

Up to this point, everyone is at the top level. In addition to this, numerous faculty and staff passed by the lounge/café.

As the discerning person would have noticed,

Here, only people of different races were swarming.

I was the only human being.

I must also be of a different race to them.

Even again, I wasn’t the only faculty member.

A servant who is no different from a slave.

It was the body that was brought here after committing a crime.

That’s why there were no set working hours.

He was a servant and head of the dormitory because he was good at talking, but for one semester, working as a prisoner was no different.

Why are you whining that you are a slave after only one semester?

Why, befitting an academy where only dragons attend, one semester here is about 50 years old. That’s why even if I didn’t want to whine, lamentation came out naturally.

Now that I’m twenty-six… … . In order to be liberated from this kind of place, you had to be at least over seventy years old to become a free body.

‘Damn it, even one month felt like a very long time, but 49 years and 11 months from now… … !’

ㅡTorreuk… !

Hot water flows from the kettle instead of my tears. Instead of watering your eyes, the hot water soaks the coffee filter.

Finally finishing my routine, I was finally able to make a cup of coffee for myself.

ㅡTuk, tuk, tuk… !

Strong coffee collects through the filter.

If you see coffee dripping like this,

For some reason, I feel at ease.

‘f*ck, how did I end up like this?’

As I sat at the table waiting for the coffee to be brewed, I reminded myself of the start of my filthy and disastrous fate.

***

Exactly one month ago from today.

[!!Destiny Dragons Grand OPEN!!]

Internet advertising banner found by accident.

This was the root of everything.

That is, the starting point of fate.

ㅡClick!

I clicked on the banner as if drawn by something.

As if the mouse cursor moved by itself.

Anyway, when I clicked on a flimsy ad banner somewhere, the game’s download page came to mind.

There, an illustration of a lot of dragons made into moe was tempting to download the game.

Looking at it roughly, it was a common collection gacha game.

The game concept was like a way to clear the story by collecting heroines of various attributes. It looked like a mass-produced game that didn’t look very special.

Nonetheless I… … .

[Do you want to download ‘Destiny Dragons’?]

The game illustration was chosen quite well, so I installed the game without hesitation out of curiosity.

I had quite a bit of time left, as it was right after I retired from the company I had been working for for nearly two years. I had some financial leeway, so I thought about going back to the past for a long time and playing gacha.

“yes? But this… … . It must have been a game with a separate original.”

After downloading the game, I searched for information related to Destiny Dragons and searched for gacha tips and strategies.

Rather than ignorant billing, I collected information in advance because I tended to run the game after deciding on the things to be selected deliberately.

By the way… … .

“Why is there no information other than this?”

The Destiny Dragons community existed, but strangely, there was not a single article related to the game.

Something was off. No matter how abandoned a bulletin board is, there are bound to be tidy posts or advertisements… … .

I should have stopped here.

But at that time I was too free.

The game has already been installed.

Maybe it was a game that just opened today without a closed beta, so I didn’t think it was a big deal. With a complacent mind to do just a little bit, I charged a whopping 1 million won.

You might say what’s big by heavy billers’ standards, but paying 1 million won for a game with no information was no different from a great adventure.

And the result of that adventure… … .

“One R-rank, all the rest are N-rank… … ?”

There was nothing to look at, only the wallet was slaughtered.

I still couldn’t come to my senses.

I just dismissed it as just bad luck and paid an additional 1 million won.

But this time, the result was the same.

I liked the illustrations, but

I didn’t like the character’s rating at all.

‘No matter how lucky you are, how can you not give me an SR grade, let alone an SSR grade?’

Yes, I admit it. i was a hoe

And something is wrong with this game too.

It was never a normal gacha probability.

So I went straight to the developer’s website and wrote a long inquiry.

With a title that the operator has no choice but to check right away, astonished.

[Inquiry Title: Diamond Copy Bug Discovery]

It was an aggressive title that had nothing to do with the content. Game companies tend to be more sensitive to billing systems than bug reports.

I took advantage of this and left an inquiry with an aggro title.

「Content: I found a bug where diamonds are copied infinitely… would you say

operator? What is the probability of SSR class here? What happened was that there was no confirmed draw, and I paid 2 million won, but how could I not give a single SR grade… … .

From my point of view, this seems to be a probability error, but if you have a conscience, please refund or compensate me immediately.

I’m an idiot for spending 2 million won on a game like this.”

I thought it would be difficult to get a refund anyway, so I just scribbled out what I wanted to say.

I didn’t even expect a normal answer.

I just wanted to express my resentment.

However, 5 minutes after writing the inquiry.

ㅡTilong!

There was a fairly normal response from the GM to the game message.

「Hello user! Surprised by server errors?

The exhaustion of the lottery ticket was normal, but we would like to provide compensation for users who must have been shocked.

As a reward for the draw ticket, we will send you a character of the initial grade.”

[Click here to claim your reward]

‘yes? They say they reward me so kindly?’

In the beginning, I thought it was a ghost company that would suck up money and disappear, but it surprisingly compensates me.

By the way, what is the initial level?

It’s the first time I’ve ever heard of it.

Is it a hidden grade higher than the UR grade?

ㅡTack!

There was no particular reason to refuse, so I clicked the link right away.

“Well? What is this?”

As soon as you click it, an illustration of a male character with fine-looking silver hair comes to mind. It had black eyes, but it gave off an exotic atmosphere overall.

「’Initiation’ grade – Breather」

[Do you really want to be rewarded? A choice once made cannot be undone. Like the fate of the Drango continent.]

And underneath the illustration, the above text was written. I thought it was just a plausible phrase written so that I could immerse myself in the story.

‘Ha, but it’s not a game I installed to pick a male character… … .’

There was a brief inner conflict, but

There were no specific options given to me.

Either get something or lose 2 million won with your life.

Still, if it’s rare, it might be much more profitable to just sell the account.

ㅡClick!

With this thought in mind, I pressed the accept button without hesitation.

But at the same time… … .

—-Shuhwaah!

The screen flashed white and at the same time my vision went black.

It was. What fell into the game.

And when I opened my eyes afterwards, I was possessed by the body of the ‘breeder’ I received as a reward.

‘Dog game. To pretend to have written a letter of protest… … .’

ㅡHorruk… !

I finally took a sip of the finished drip coffee and savored the bitterness.

Coffee tastes good though.

After all, coffee after work is refreshing.

I’ll just drink this today and go home early.

It was a time when I soothed my complicated mind with a cup of coffee.

ㅡ smart smart… !

“Mr. Breeder? Are you inside?”

“Well?”

Along with the sound of knocking, a clear, clear female voice is heard beyond the door of the break room.

He must have hung a “CLOSE” sign outside the door.
