-A dungeon where agriculture is actively developing thanks to the intervention of a legendary person . The dungeon is becoming a ‘village’ due to the agriculture phenomenon .
The vampires’ hunger is at a low level due to eating the ‘blood potatoes’ that are being grown . The vampires in the city feel a faint appeal toward humans due to the influence of the boss ‘Noll . ’ Once the dungeon’s village is completed, the already spawned monsters will change to ‘NPCs . ’ They will become your precious people .
* There are 159 days until the village is completed .
* Pray that as many monsters as possible are alive when the village is completed .
* The type of dungeon monsters might vary if the boss is changed . ]
“What type of wind did you bring with you?” The boy who approached Grid had a beauty that went beyond human standards . Human modifiers could never describe the beauty of this boy . The vampire earl, Noll—he had been born directly from Shizo Beriache’s body, and now he served Grid thanks to the effect of Pangea’s Duke of Virtue .

Beriache was excited about the attribute of compassion sleeping deep in Noll’s heart . She hoped he would give great strength to his brethren and overcome trials with his brethren .
Despite this, by now, most of his brothers have left the world . Noll considers Grid, who took off the Curse of Idleness and protected his life, as a replacement for his brothers . ]
[Run Wild]
[The cooldown of all magic will be 3 seconds . However, mana consumption will double . ]
Noll was the most special vampire that Grid knew . Perhaps he was even more special than his brother, Braham Beriache . He could heal and strengthen his colleagues, and he also had a wide area skill . Noll was stronger in a group than when he was alone . He was distinctly different from the other direct descendants who threatened humans alone . This ‘difference’ was sometimes a great strength . Grid relied on Noll . He didn’t doubt that Noll was necessary for the future of the Overgeared Kingdom .
‘His specs are still crazy . ’ Grid couldn’t help smiling when he saw the Blood Farming skill that wasn’t there before . He asked, “Why are you giving the cold shoulder to someone you haven’t seen for a long time?”
“The problem is that you didn’t come for a long time! You . . . ! Do you know how much shame and humiliation I’ve experienced in the last two years?”
Noll’s words weren’t wrong . He had been 219 years old when Grid first met him, and now he was 221 years old . However, Noll still had the appearance of a 13-year-old boy, and a vampire’s ego was influenced by their appearance . As such, Noll was a child . “You didn’t come to see me . . . !”
“ . . . ”
“Considering I had to throw away my pride and serve a human, you should be visiting me often . . . !”
“ . . . ”
“I said I would serve you, not that crazy farmer! So why…?! Why did you let that crazy bastard…?!”
“I’m sorry . ” Grid grinned and stroked Noll’s head .
‘Piaro isn’t a bad person, so don’t hate him . He is teaching you to farm because he wants us to coexist . ’ Grid didn’t say these words .
It was a fact that Noll already knew . Yes, this was just Noll acting spoiled . He wanted his ‘brother’ to protect him . So, he was venting about the ‘brother’ who neglected him .
“ . . . Bad person . ” Noll was no longer shouting . He blushed as he was reminded of his mother’s hand . It was the kind, soft, and warm touch of his mother who watched anxiously as he slept in his coffin . Grid’s hand was different from Noll’s mother, but it wasn’t bad .

“What? What crazy nonsense are you talking now?”
It was a castle where hundreds of coffins were displayed as ornaments . Noll sat at a long table opposite Grid and faced him . Red juice flowed like blood flowed from the potato Noll was eating . No matter how much he ate, it was fake blood that didn’t make him feel full . Still, it was precious food for vampires in the seventh city .
“Are you a fool?” Noll’s face distorted as he wiped the juices off his mouth with a handkerchief . “We are vampires . Among them, we—direct descendants—are perfect creatures . We can’t be described using the standards of a human . Yet you dare . . . ”
“You are perfect despite sleeping all the time?”
“ . . . It is true that the Curse of Idleness made us incomplete, but I overcame the Curse of Idleness . One day, I will destroy the great demons and God Yatan who dared insult my mother . ” Noll’s anger was real . “I am complete . It is an insult for me to use these trivial tools!”
Grid said he would make a weapon and armor for Noll, who then felt insulted by the suggestion . Tools were things that weak humans relied on . This was what Noll thought . It was also why the vampires that Grid met previously hadn’t been armed . Some vampires might use tools like a ‘sword’, but that was just for their amusement . Vampires were beasts who preyed on other creatures using their natural physical abilities and magic power .
However, Grid thought it was mistaken idea . “Tools are trivial? A person who almost lost his life to a trivial tool is saying this?”
“ . . . !” Noll closed his mouth, remembering how he had almost died from Grid’s sword and the crazy farmer’s equipment . “T-That . . . ” Noll tried to defend himself with a red face, but it was impossible . He realized he wasn’t perfect and that tools weren’t trivial .
“What if you had armor at that time? Do you think Piaro’s hand plow, my sword, and Jishuka’s arrows could have beaten you?”
“ . . . ”
“Being overgeared is important . It is a concept that makes the strong stronger, not just the weak . ”
“ . . . ”
“Noll, don’t be stubborn . The world where vampires can rely on their natural abilities is over . Do you like heavy armor or light armor? Think about which armor is more comfortable for you to use and answer me . ”
All the legends had fallen asleep, and 200 years had passed . The world welcomed new legends, and those who reigned during the gap between legends became weak again . The relationship between Grid and Noll represented this change . In the end, Noll lost his stubbornness and accepted reality . “ . . . I would prefer armor like what you wear . Oh, it's not that I want to look like you or something like that . ”
“I understand . Your weapon will be a shield . ” Grid’s voice was gentle and careful as he spoke to Noll . Grid’s feelings toward Noll were very complicated . After all, he was the person who killed Noll’s brothers . A vampire and human’s thoughts were different, so Noll didn’t resent Grid . Still, Grid felt sorry toward Noll .
“I’ll make you a strong armor . ”
“Hmph, do whatever you want . ”
The first preparations were beginning . Grid would set up a new smithy here and produce items for Noll . Then the ‘armed’ Noll would be copied and become the 4th heavenly king of the National Competition .

“The protagonist is a blessed person . ”
They got overwhelming support from the audiences and readers .
“As long as the wishes of many people support the protagonist, the protagonist is bound to be strong . ”
Of course, this wasn’t universal . The protagonist was sometimes weaker than everyone else . Why?
“The protagonist also suffers through trials . It is a fate that can’t be avoided . Then the protagonist will become stronger after the trials .
At the S . A Group’s New York branch, a man who was participating in the US representatives selection was talking to the other candidates . His name was Zibal .
“I have overcome the pain of my last trial . ”
He was the strong ranker who had once represented the United States, but he received the stigma of a punching bag after losing to Kraugel and Grid . Zibal declared, “I am the protagonist . ”
He had fallen to hell from the best place . Zibal was like a monk walking the path of penance . He endured the ridicule and contempt of the people and endeavored to overcome his limitations . Nobody could ignore him . People might not want to acknowledge him, but they had to respect him .
However, one person downplayed ZIbal .
“No, I will be the new protagonist . ” It was Haster .
The appearance of an unexpected character shocked many people .
“Get out of the way, Zibal . I have to experiment with my strength . ”
Haster thought it was natural that he couldn’t beat Grid at the present time . However, Hurent . . . ?
Haster was someone who had beaten Kraugel . So, Haster felt there was something wrong . He needed to figure out what was wrong and fix it immediately . Then this person interfered, “Haster? Weren’t you a pro golfer?”
“Pro gamer!!”
It was the punching bag Zibal .
[The selection will start soon . All candidates please enter . ]
Unlike in other countries, this was a rare scene where many high rankers could be seen . Hundreds of strong players, including Zibal and Haster, were entering the preliminary elimination rounds .
