NOVEL WEB Chapter 29
Sia’s wyvern egg stew, captured by the drone camera, looked perfect at first glance.
Despite the large amount of soy sauce and the generous use of garlic, onions, and other ingredients, the ultra-high-performance auxiliary AI drone camera that has not yet hit the market seemed to convey the stew’s deliciousness beyond the screen with broadcast-quality visuals and zoom features rivaling gourmet shows.
“Where are you going?”
“This.”
“Huh?”
“Stay with this.”
“Eh?”
Pahng!!
Just as the streamer with the majestic maternal pouch was about to start the mukbang with a 100 million won wyvern egg, the streamer suddenly entrusted the food to Cheon Ah-young and took off running somewhere.
-?
-??
-What’s the streamer doing?
-Where are you going?
-No, when are we starting the mukbang? LOL
Reacting to the streamer’s movement, the drone camera swiftly began tracking the streamer.
Meanwhile, viewers in the ‘Hunter Isia’ room were increasing in number.
Drawn by Sia’s maternal pouch, 13 viewers who started watching didn’t leave their spots, focusing on the stream as the number of viewers gradually climbed to 924.
For a hako streamer who just started broadcasting today, this was a miraculous figure.
And even now, viewers were continuously increasing.
‘This streamer’s maternal pouch is amazing!’
‘Not sure if it’s a concept, but she doesn’t even know she’s broadcasting!’
‘Hako hunter streamer!’
‘She must be at least A-grade!’
Although there were various reasons for viewers tuning in, the element that attracted them the most was the rumor, “This crazy woman is about to eat a 100 million won wyvern egg as stew!”
Is her body and appearance outstanding? Honestly, Sia wasn’t the only streamer with impressive looks.
A hako hunter streamer? There are countless hako hunter streamers on the super mega platform Switch that has even penetrated TV.
Is she at least A-grade? That alone wouldn’t be enough to pull over 100 viewers on her first day of broadcasting.
But combining all those hype factors, the sentence “[A prettily large-breasted and gorgeous hako hunter unknowingly streams while making a 100 million won wyvern egg stew in a dungeon.]” was formed.
At this point, it would be strange for anyone not to watch.
Even if someone hadn’t heard the rumor, it would be human nature to be drawn in by the phrase, “What kind of broadcast is this?”
-But it’s hilarious how the streamer just coolly leaves the food with Cheon Ah-young, LOL
– LOL The streamer treats Cheon Ah-young like a house guard!
-Don’t cross the line!
-True.
-So true.
-Very true.
-Real talk.
While viewers were chattering among themselves, the streamer had arrived at a high peak.
With her basic physical abilities and speed being remarkable, the tentacles on her waist effectively cleared away trees blocking her path, making her even faster than just running.
-Where is this?
-Isn’t it the wyvern habitat?
-Yeah, there’s a nest!
-Why are we here?
-This is the 3rd peak wyvern habitat. There should be several hundred of them.
-The wyverns from earlier look like they had a few wings torn.
-Seriously?
Of course, Sia was completely unaware that the broadcast was live, so she didn’t communicate at all.
As a result, the viewers began sharing knowledge among themselves. During that time, Sia hummed a song and entered a cave.
The cave was quite massive.
Being a breeding ground for wyverns, the ceiling was dimly lit, and the interior was wide enough to be considered a gigantic pupil rather than an ordinary cave.
Here and there, wyvern nests and eggs, as well as newborn wyverns, were visible.
It is known that when intruders invade a wyvern’s nest, the wyverns will fiercely drive them away, even to the point of death.
– LOL The wyverns are backing away?!
-Wyvern! Stand and fight! Don’t run!
-You idiot, didn’t you see what the streamer did earlier?
–LOL
–LOL That’s not even a question of fighting or not! LOL
-Hitting one punch is enough to burst a wyvern’s head, so what is fighting? It’s complete annihilation! LOL
The wyverns, paralyzed by the chilling smell of blood and death and the brutal slaughter of their kin just moments ago, couldn’t approach Sia, despite their desperate roars.
Some wyverns tucked away in corners trembled, and the sight of a parent hugging its young elicited sympathy.
-How pitiful…
-What’s pitiful? LOL If they come out, we’re done for! LOL
-Kill the monsters and have your way with this species.
-Let’s go, you scumbag!
-I heard wyverns have great maternal instincts, but they’re losing themselves to her! LOL
After a while, the streamer reached the center of the cave, seemingly searching for something.
Kiaaa!!!
At that moment, a gigantic wyvern, whether to protect the group or overcome its fear, charged at the streamer.
Of course, viewers weren’t worried about the streamer.
Pek!
-Ow, that impact!
–LOL
-One punch! LOL
-Isn’t that the wyvern group leader?
-That must be at least A+! LOL
–LOL
Without even looking at where the leader was, the streamer swung her tentacles like swatting a bothersome fly, exploding its head.
However, viewers still hadn’t expected the reality about to unfold.
“Oh, is this the leader?”
-?
-What is she doing?
-Is she going to put that in the stew?
-No, she used different meat earlier.
-The meat’s already in!
-Then what is she going to do?
[Miracle – Great Healing]
And the moment a white light radiated from the streamer’s hand, viewers gasped in shock.
It wasn’t a simple attack light.
As the shattered wyvern’s head rapidly regenerated and the creature thought dead opened its eyes with vitality, viewers realized that the streamer’s true ability wasn’t immense strength or bizarre tentacle manipulation, but that ‘healing’ ability.
Healing ability!
Among the Awakened and Hunter abilities, healing and buff-type abilities were quite rare.
While hunter abilities generally leaned towards elemental attacks like fire or lightning, there were versatile spatial manipulation abilities like Yeonseo’s, but those still focused more on combat and utility.
It’s no wonder the ‘Saintess’ who went missing in China ten years ago is still counted as a representative of healers.
-Whoa, is the streamer a healer now?
-Saintess?
-She’s a saintess!
-Whoa! Titty saintess!
-It’s amazing that the maternal pouch belongs to a saintess!
“From today onwards, the streamer will be my wife, and any attack on the streamer will be deemed an attack on me!”
-This guy’s insane!
-What crime has the streamer committed? LOL
–LOL The streamer seems to be enjoying being consumed!
-Oh my, being devoured by the titty saintess…
-It’s possible!
-Heeung, saintess noona,…
-But wait, she’s a saintess with tentacles, LOL
-Tentacles and saintess… this is rare.
Then the streamer crushed the wyvern’s head right after bringing it back to life.
Kwajik!
Crunch…
Krree…
Keeng…
-???
-Hold on, why kill it after saving?
-What? LOL
-The wyvern attacked again! LOL
-You save it and then kill it if it attacks! LOL
-What an idiot! LOL
–LOL
Naturally, the viewers burst out laughing as they thought the wyvern had attacked again after being saved.
As the number of viewers exceeded 1328, some began spreading clips or memes of the streamer in the ‘Hunter Gallery’ genre, leading to an explosive increase in the viewership.
However, the real action was just beginning.
[Miracle – Great Healing]
Kieeek?!
The streamer successfully restored the wyvern that had its head crushed for the second time.
Despite such a powerful healing ability capable of bringing the dead back to life, the streamer showed no signs of fatigue or feeling spent, maintaining a calm expression as she resurrected the wyvern, leading viewers to genuinely ponder whether the streamer was an A-grade or perhaps an S-grade.
But what followed shocked the viewers beyond the streamer’s grade.
Bang!!!
As the wyvern leader’s head was crushed for the third time, viewers started to sense something was amiss.
-Why kill it?
-It didn’t attack this time!
-Now she’s killing it for no reason?! LOL
-If it shows an attack stance, it must die!
-If the human bites, they should die! LOL
-Wait, why is she saving it again?
[Miracle – Great Healing]
“Hehehe…”
-Look at that crazy woman laughing!
-What a horror show; it’s terrifying LOL
-I’m really scared, though.
-Why is she laughing, LOL?
Bang!
Kiaak?!
Gurk!
-Oh… oh no…
-No, please stop…
-Oh my gosh;
-What is this, what is this?
-Wyvern: Please just kill me…
-Damn you! LOL
Currently, ‘Hunter Isia’s stream did not have a blood filter enabled.
If the blood setting and 19+ content were not set, AI would automatically detect it and flag the broadcast as 19+.
Of course, if it were a general broadcast, the stream would be immediately shut down, but since Sia had temporary permissions as a hunter, her broadcast was allowed to continue, with the monitoring AI simply categorizing it as a 19+ stream.
And it turned out that all the degenerates were adults, so Sia’s broadcast still had many viewers.
Oddly enough, despite the stream being flagged 19+, the number of listeners increased.
Sia was completely oblivious to the fact that her broadcast was being streamed, so she didn’t manipulate any filters, resulting in scenes of wyvern’s blood, bones, and entrails bursting onto the screen.
-Stop, please!
-Stop it already!
-At this point, everyone will die!
-Nuna, please stop!
-I can’t hear you! LOL
When the wyvern’s spine folded in half and it died, viewers unconsciously straightened their backs.
-I am the saint of spines! I’ve come for spine revenge!
-Thank you for your spine!
-Take care of your spine!
-You crazy ones, stop this already! LOL
-Nuna, please save me!
-Just stop already! LOL
-What’s going on in this stream??
-Is this how it usually is?
-We have no idea either, LOL
Bang! Bang! Clang!
-Oh, no, really, I have no idea…
–F, this is scary…*
-Whoa, give me a break…
-Kill me, please…
-Now please, just kill me already!
-Urgh…
Keaaak…!!
-Stop, please stop…
====================================
Monsters are meant to die.
Everyone knew how catastrophic it would be if that wyvern were allowed into the human world.
Although there were once those who cried, “Monsters have rights! They have personalities!” such fools had been devoured long ago, yet viewers still felt sympathy for that wyvern.
All this time, the wyvern leader had already repeated the cycle of dying and coming back to life over ten times. Its earlier aggression had vanished, and it lowered its head to the ground in submission.
Only then did the streamer show a refreshing smile, signaling the end of the ordeal.
-You psycho woman! LOL
-This is terrifying!
-So insane!
-Mom, please sleep with me tonight.
-I’ll never mess with you again, nuna!
-Damn that’s scary…
-Oh my, Oh my! BLUSH
-The streamer now has the title “Cosmic Tentacle Saintess,” and if you contest that, you are wrong!
-The Cosmic Tentacle Saintess shall reign! LOL
-What the heck, it seems like we’re just laughing out of fear! LOL
-That’s what happens when a person faces an utterly absurd situation, and all that comes out is laughter! LOL
–LOL
It wasn’t just the wyvern leader.
Numerous wyverns trembled, bowing their heads toward Sia, showing no signs of defiance or aggression against the horrifying actions of the Cosmic Tentacle Saintess.
-What? Are you unhappy about me taking the eggs?
-Then do you want a taste of the Cosmic Tentacle?
LOL
“What a delicious stew!”
Then Sia used Miracle to heal all the injured wyverns and, with her arms full of eggs, exited the cave as the mournful cries of the wyverns echoed behind her.
Naturally, the viewer reactions were explosive.
A hunter who single-handedly wiped out a wyvern nest?
Such a thing existed.
S-grade hunter Yujin once faced off against a group of wyverns in the Kurtala Mountains’ first peak.
Hunters who won against a swarm of wyverns with elaborate strategies and team play?
That existed too.
Ten A-grade hunters, including Yeonhwa, who are about to be promoted to A-grade, faced off against over 300 wyverns in a proper battle.
While they may not have displayed the overwhelming might of an S-grade hunter like Yujin, they were formidable with their cooperation and strategy, managing to take down the entire wyvern swarm without a single casualty.
However…
There had never been a hunter who not only defeated a group of wyverns alone but also stormed into the wyvern nest to conquer and subjugate them.
That insane Cosmic Tentacle Saintess didn’t just subdue them with brute strength; she implanted the concept of ‘fear’ within the entire wyvern group.
Killing, then resurrecting.
And killing again if they resisted.
There was no need for torture.
Simply ingraining the reality of ‘If you defy me, you will die’ is sufficient.
Mechanically and administratively, the Cosmic Tentacle Saintess with her impressive maternal pouch repeated the act of killing and resurrecting the A+ grade wyvern leader over ten times until viewers witnessed for the first time a wyvern group completely yielding and submitting to a human hunter.
-I’m going crazy, LOL
-Does what I’m seeing really reflect reality?
-… F LOL*
-The Conqueror Isia.
-What do we call her? The Saintess? The Massacre Saintess? The Titty Saintess?
-Let’s combine them all and call her “Titty Massacre Saintess!”
-What nonsense!
-Yeah, that’s boring!
-It’s just really terrifying.
-I’m a guy, can a woman like that really be popular?
-What are you talking, idiot? She’s a hako hunter streamer! LOL
-The bugs are already swarming! LOL
-Guaranteed to be a hit!
Regardless of what others thought, Sia returned with joyful expressions, having obtained a wyvern egg farm and four eggs in hand.
—
Bubble, bubble
“Hehehe…”
“Looks delicious.”
“Right?”
Cheon Ah-young didn’t ask where she got the four additional eggs from.
After all, the blood on her face was evidently from the wyverns. She didn’t want to find herself in awkward situations by asking unnecessary questions.
“This one’s for you.”
“Huh?”
“You guarded the stew.”
“…….”
Can I really accept this?
Though the egg isn’t a dragon egg, it’s still worth 30 million won each.
“Let’s eat together.”
“… Can I really?”
Honestly, it felt wasteful.
What chicken could be bought with the profit from selling this outside? How many pieces of equipment could be bought? Such calculations wrapped around her mind, but unfortunately, Cheon Ah-young had been starving for three days.
Plus, the rich and aromatic soy sauce stewing with the wyvern eggs was bubbling right in front of her.
Having tasted the sauce earlier, Cheon Ah-young knew exactly how delicious that well-seasoned home taste would be.
‘It must be incredibly tasty, right…?’
–LOL The streamer also says to eat!
–LOL
[‘Shishirobotang’ donated 100,000 won!]
-If you eat with the titty saintess, it’ll be a 1 million won mukbang!
[‘DragonLordRetirement’ donated 50,000 won!]
-Can’t we eat together? Let’s do a mukbang with three hundred million won eggs! LOL
[‘DolphinPork’…]
“Just put it in and cook it.”
“… gulp.”
The hesitation disappeared in an instant.
Well, Cheon Ah-young was a streamer after all.
Though it felt wasteful to eat a 30 million won egg without selling it, in the end, she had to live as a professional hunter streamer backed by the love and popularity of her viewers.
Three million won isn’t that much money.
And that hunter named Sia openly gave her the egg to eat.
“Then, I’ll dig in.”
“Sure. By the way, can I eat first? I’m really hungry.”
“Yes, yes!”
The moment her doubts vanished, Cheon Ah-young placed her egg into the pot bubbling over the campfire.
Sia, sensing that one egg wouldn’t be enough, started boiling another wyvern egg while reserving some for Yeonhwa and Yeonseo.
“… Hehehe…”
The cruelty of earlier in using the Cosmic Tentacle on the wyverns seemed to vanish as Sia smiled at the perfect stew visual.
-Oh my, wowwow
-That looks really delicious!
-Whoa!
-Gushing!
-It must be absolutely delicious!
Before long, Cheon Ah-young and viewers in both the Cheon Ah-young and ‘Hunter Isia’ rooms were salivating at Sia’s happy smile.
Is it really that tasty?
No, it would be odd if it wasn’t!
Especially viewers in Hunter Isia’s room seemed to have completely forgotten about the cosmic horror they witnessed earlier from the Cosmic Tentacle Saintess.
“Is it really that good?”
“Try one!”
As there was plenty of meat, Sia thought it would be okay to share one.
Grabbing a piece with her chopsticks, she handed it over to Cheon Ah-young.
“Um, um… let me indulge!”
And the moment it was in her mouth, Cheon Ah-young’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Mmm, mm!!! It’s incredible!”
“See? Hehe, good…”
“No, wait a second! Is that… Sia, can you hold on a bit?”
“Why?”
Cheon Ah-young began working on her smartwatch.
“Please hold on for a moment.”
“?”
Sia looked puzzled as Cheon Ah-young flashed a smile up at the sky.
“They’re coming.”
“Is it a drone?”
“Yes. These are backup filming drones, emergency drones.”
The Dungeon content Cheon Ah-young was producing included such emergency drones, although they generally wouldn’t be used unless necessary.
After all, viewers want to see streamers in tricky situations rather than just enjoying a luxurious life in the dungeon like it’s a hotel vacation.
But in case of emergencies, these drones are prepped with various supplies—among them…
“This is instant rice! Rice!”
“……!!!!”
“I’m currently shooting another content, but viewers will understand! Just think about it! Am I supposed to eat this perfect stew without any rice in front of me? That would be torture!”
“…You really know something!”
Sia gazed at Cheon Ah-young with amazement.
-The stew’s rice is a rule!
-Oh, I’m hungry…
-Holy Mother…
-Whoa…
-If that doesn’t taste good, that’s odd! LOL
-Mom! I want to grow up to be stew! Mom! I want to grow up to be stew! Mom! I want to grow up to be stew! Mom! I want to grow up to be stew! Mom! I want to grow up to be stew!
-That’s absolutely right!
-Rice with stew is a fact!
-For real, LOL
-What? Just stew without rice? That would be a crime! LOL
And it wasn’t just a few servings of rice.
Prepared due to incidents, there were over 50 servings of instant rice waiting.
Preparation was simple.
Since there was boiling water, just throwing it in for a minute would produce hot rice quickly.
“Hurry. Hurry…”
“Just a moment, please.”
It would only take a minute, but considering she had to pause her meal, Sia couldn’t bear it and began salivating, her eyes bloodshot as she stared at the pot of cooking rice.
Ultimately, unable to wait any longer, Sia turned up the heat again, using her divine power on the pot.
“Um, but the pot is going to burn…”
“The pot can be replaced!”
–LOL
–LOL
“We should be good now…?”
“Probably… maybe?”
As soon as those words left her lips, Sia plunged her bare hands into the boiling pot, retrieving the rice.
Cheon Ah-young worried about her getting burned or injured but thought that after witnessing everything, worrying about Sia was overkill.
Fortunately, there were plenty of chopsticks and spoons in the emergency drone supplies.
So now…
“Since it’s your show, go ahead.”
“Alright…”
Speaking as Sia placed a spoon over the pristine and blissful-looking egg white from the fresh wyvern egg.
The egg white, soft like pudding, felt squishy yet springy as the spoon sunk beautifully into it.
Notably, the egg whites were quite thin, but the yolks inside were enormous, with an incredibly rich golden color.
If there was merely a hint of sparkle, one might mistake it for gold rather than an egg.
Viewers in both rooms had their eyes glued, fully focused on the 100 million won wyvern egg mukbang.
With trembling hands filled with expectation, Sia dipped the wyvern egg yolk into the soy sauce and swallowed it down in one bite.
“Hahhhh…”
Gulp, gulp…
It’s delicious…
So very delicious…
It’s deeply flavorful, rich, and even sweet.
Combined with the soy sauce seasoning, it creates an exquisitely delightful taste…
Sia felt even greater bliss than when she had eaten the meat moments before.
This felt like heaven…
“Hahhhh…”
-Listen to that moan!
-Oh my! WOWWOW
-No, it looks so mouth-watering! LOL
-I want to eat it too!
For nearly a minute, enveloped in bliss, only then did Sia remember Cheon Ah-young before snapping back to reality.
“Um, um… how is it?!”
“It’s delicious. Very, very delicious. I can’t express it. You have to try it yourself!”
“… gulp”
“Please, join me in eating. There are plenty!”
“… Yes!”
Finally, Cheon Ah-young, after starving for three days, smiled gratefully when she received permission from Sia and lifted her spoon.
“I’ll enjoy this, Sia.”
“Thanks for the rice. I’ll enjoy it, too.”
Hah, gulp…
Slurp, gulp…
Gulp…
No words were left between the two as they indulged in the meal.
-Excuse me? What’s the taste supposed to be?
-The streamer has abandoned us!
-Our streamer abandoned us from the beginning! LOL
So delicious.
It had 100 times more concentration and richness than regular eggs.
The harmony between the sauce, which penetrated into the yolk, seemed to be the perfect balance of yin and yang.
“This is so delicious… gulp”
“Yeah, yeah. So delicious. Truly delicious… Hah!”
Mixing the seasoned yolks with the instant rice gave rise to an overwhelming tsunami of flavor.
“Heeheung….”
Neither Sia nor Cheon Ah-young expected any weird sounds to come out from their eating, but both found themselves in a trance-like state as they kept scooping stew into their mouths.
The instant rice disappeared moments later.
Cheon Ah-young, who had been starving for three days, devoured five servings in a flash. Meanwhile, Sia scarfed down over ten servings at a lightning pace.
“Round two?”
“Call!”
Then, as she retrieved another three 30 million won wyvern eggs that were cooking, Sia skillfully peeled off the eggshells.
Thanks to her prior experience in shelling, she peeled the eggs remarkably fast, revealing the egg whites, then tossed those into the soy sauce broth, which resumed boiling.
The pots may need to be tossed afterward, but she could buy new pots!
What mattered now was eating quickly!
Hah! Gulp! Slurp…
“It’s tasty. It’s tasty….”
“Sia, eating the meat and yolk together is truly delicious!”
“Really? gulp Oh… you’re right!”
As a pro hunter and streamer, Cheon Ah-young had completely tuned out the viewers while they munched away.
Meanwhile, Sia had already consumed nearly thirty servings of stew and rice, yet she still craved more!
The dungeon night was settling in.
As the sun began to set, Sia finally finished her meal.
Hah, heh… I’m so full…
“I’ve had my fill.”
Feeling as if her belly might burst, Cheon Ah-young fell unconscious after seeing Sia eat 22 servings, while Sia alone happily polished off the remaining rice.
“I… Sia… you really can eat a lot…”
“I could probably eat more, but there’s no soy sauce left…”
“Huh?”
She meant it sincerely.
Though she hadn’t known Sia for long, Cheon Ah-young felt truthfulness in her declaration.
“Well, I should be leaving now.”
“You’re leaving?”
“Yeah, I’m going to film a suitable hunting video around the wyvern breeding ground.”
Though Cheon Ah-young felt a twinge of regret, she understood. After all, she was filming her one-week dungeon content, while that hunter named Sia must’ve had her own missions and circumstances.
Ideally, she would’ve wanted to collaborate, but she had to view today’s meeting as a significant stroke of luck.
“It was nice to meet you, Sia. Here’s my business card; feel free to contact me if there’s anything you need help with.”
“… Oh, you’re an A-grade hunter, eh?”
“I mentioned it earlier!”
“To be honest, I was half-listening. I couldn’t concentrate with all the stew-making going on.”
“Well, that’s understandable,” She replied, finishing as Sia began gathering up her things, including the pot.
One cannot carelessly toss trash around in caves, so it’s important to clean up.
“Then, I’ll be off. Good luck with the… streamer? Whatever the broadcast is, give it your all.”
“Oh, AyoungTube! If you have time, please subscribe! It’s great content!”
“Sure, I’ll think about it.”
That day, AyoungTube reached its highest viewer count ever while the name ‘Hunter Isia’ began circulating in the Hunter genre’s biggest fourm.
“Oh, the drone camera must have caught everything? I should turn it off now.”
-No, no, no, don’t!
-Mom, please don’t throw me away, mom!
-It’s freezing!
-Please don’t let me be cold!
-No, no hooooonnnoooooo!
Click.
Oblivious to the livestream, Sia mercilessly powered off the drone camera and headed home.
… As a side note, while returning on her way to gather eggs for Yeonhwa and Yeonseo, Sia took a detour to the third peak to pick up two more wyvern eggs, having polished off all the eggs she had brought earlier.
Kieeee…
It was a day that was happy for everyone except the wyverns.
