Solo Eating to Overpowered - Chapter 121
Episode 121
: Lich!
X, who was well versed in all kinds of games, was someone you couldn’t help but know.
Near-infinite stamina and mana! Even the summoning ability to endlessly summon the undead! The lich is a monster that occupies a position close to the final boss in any game.
“But… it’s the clumsy lich’s haven?”
If it were a normal lich, X couldn’t be confident of victory. As I said, lichs are strong yet difficult beings. Not only does it have individual abilities, but it also summons countless subordinates endlessly.
Therefore, it was a being that could be defeated only if dozens of parties that had been working together for a long time came up with a detailed strategy. However, it is a haven for the ‘clumsy’ lychee. X shrugged his shoulders.
“If you’re clumsy, you won’t be able to stop us… right, Yongyong?”
Yongyong, who had already been summoned, answered vigorously.
“Kyuuuut!!”
“It’s definitely worth the challenge.”
In fact, even if it was just Lich’s sanctuary, I had no intention of leaving it. The opportunity to fight a lich didn’t come easily, and he was an X who always enjoyed fighting strong enemies the most.
“Kyuut nyut.”
It’s nice because it’s wet.
Even though Yongyong was not a reptile, he liked wet places. He seemed to feel better after smelling the humid air of the dungeon.
X moved forward with Yongyong. It wasn’t long before the monsters in the dungeon greeted X.
“It’s definitely different.”
Creak, creak!
White sticks that make a familiar sound! Indeed, they were skeletons summoned by the lich’s magic. The eye glow was clearly different from the skeletons summoned by most common warlocks.
“Kyuu?”
Creak! Creak!
Suddenly, a group of skeletons surrounded X and Yongyong.
It was clear that he was a low-level skeleton soldier, as he was equipped with rusty weapons and a wooden shield. X nodded.
“I also know a surprising amount about the characteristics of skeleton soldiers.”
Death denial!
It was a skill learned from Ligrien that allowed him to be resurrected as an undead.
Although not a lot, there was a time when X was resurrected as a low-level skeleton soldier through death denial. So, he had an incredible insight into the psychology of skeleton soldiers.
Swish!
A crude attack without even a trace of finesse. Even the arms and legs were struggling, unable to use even a single common skill.
‘If you only like strength and tenacity, you have no choice but to become ignorant.’
I felt bad because it felt like he was being self-deprecating, but X and Yongyong started to destroy the charging skeletons of the lich one by one.
Their level was 400, just like the wolves in the forest. However, his physical strength seemed to be high like that of an undead, so he was not knocked out by a single hit.
But that was all it took to hit one more hit with a series of attacks.
“Do you still feel like hunting?”
Huge quantity!
It was indeed a dungeon. The number of monsters that appear in regular dungeons is incomparably greater than that in the field. But as if that wasn’t enough, isn’t this the Lich’s dungeon, a symbol of quantity?
“Shall we bet on who catches more this time? “The loser will grant the winner one wish?”
“Kyunut!”
“good. “We’ll think about what we’ll get later.”
“Kyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.”
I’m sure I’ll win.
If you win, you’ll eat a lot of delicious meat.
X and Yongyong’s eyes lit up when they saw the skeletons that kept rising from the ground.
Let’s go!
Skeletons that are buried in the ground again as soon as they are summoned. The frantic hunting began in earnest.
The winner of the bet was, of course, X. After passing through the group of skeletons and entering the safe area of the dungeon, X collapsed on the floor. Thanks to my diligent movement, my whole body was covered in sweat.
“Whoa, it’s close.”
“Kyuututut!!”
It is against the law to use such magic.
Yongyong puffed out his cheeks.
At the last moment when he was ahead, X used the Sea God’s Judgment to wipe out all the existing skeletons in one go. But X also had something to say.
“Are you the only one who was disgraceful to me when you continued to use your breath?”
“Kyuuu…!”
“Hey, Mr. Dragon. Do you admit defeat?”
“Kyuuuu….”
I have nothing to say. It’s my defeat.
“I’ll think about my wish slowly.”
You might wonder what’s wrong with beating a kid, but isn’t it natural to feel good when you win a bet?
Eat. X let out a laugh and immediately started preparing a meal.
‘Should I at least make an intermediate settlement somewhere?’
Crack.
X, who was preparing ingredients, checked the status window.

The level has risen by a whopping 20 levels!
X beat up Lich’s skeleton for over half a day. He hunted level 400 monsters at a speed close to slaughter and monopolized their experience!
X passed through the early level 300 section, which is called the cursed section because it is extremely difficult to level up, without even feeling it.
X checked the inventory this time.
‘If you melt this junk, it becomes iron.’
The only items dropped by the skeleton soldiers were rusty equipment. The wooden shield had rotted to the point where it was impossible to recycle, and the rusted iron sword could be melted down and made into iron again. X frugally packed a rusty iron sword.
“Then how much is our Yongyong… Wow.”
When I check Yongyong’s status window, my breath catches.
Name: Yongyong
Race: Dragon Satiety
: 12%
Level: 301
Vitality: 650000 / 650000
Mana: 320000 / 320000
Strength: 5000 / Agility: 4300
Magic: 3900 / Overpower: 4000
… Is this a reasonable growth rate?
Dragon Yongyong, who entered the growth period, was growing every moment. Vitality and mana grow by a base of 10,000 units, and stats grow by a base of 1,000 units.
If things continued like this, it seemed like we were really close to reaching 1 million life points. Strength, the only stat in which X is ahead, soon catches up. X cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“Hmm, numbers aren’t everything.”
“Kyuut?”
“huh? “No, nothing.”
Let’s hunt harder so as not to fall behind. In order to control Yongyong, I felt like I had to have at least one stat that was ahead of me in order to save face.
X, having made up his mind, once again concentrated on preparing the meal.
*
Level 450 skeleton officers!
Unlike skeleton soldiers, they wore armor and helmets. Even though the armor was in tatters, it was clear that the title of officer was out of form.
‘If you relax even for a moment, an attack is permitted.’
puck!
A rusty iron sword flew into X’s side. Officers used basic sword techniques differently from soldiers.
In short, I knew how to fight. Since they were at a complete numerical disadvantage, it was natural for X to also attack.
“Of course it doesn’t hurt at all.”
A pure dark iron set that is more than a luxury product! Thanks to the high defense, there was no significant damage to vitality even if the attack hit. Moreover, X’s vitality exceeds 300,000.
‘Do you think you’ll be fine even if you get beaten up for an hour?’
Since the items and stats were combined, there was no such thing as fraud. The difficulty increased slightly from skeleton soldier to officer, but it was not difficult.
Perhaps because it was the resting place of a clumsy lich, I felt like I could clear the dungeon with ease.
Safe area again.
X let out a deep breath.
‘It’s unfortunate, but that’s all for today.’
It had already been dozens of hours since I entered the dungeon. Unfortunately, this means that forced logout is approaching.
Although the dropping items were poor for a dungeon, the experience points were great compared to other dungeons.
“You have to get to at least level 350 so I can say I’ve been through some dungeons.”
Let’s beat up the skeletons tomorrow too!
X used his time wisely until the end. To raise my stats, I chewed the beef jerky I had made during the break.
“by the way. Even Richie won’t be broke, will he?”
Squishy squishy.
At that time, X was chewing beef jerky to shake off anxious thoughts. Heavy breathing was heard from the corner of the safe area.
X, who had been clenching his mouth so hard that his jaw dropped, stopped.
‘…What just happened?’
I could definitely hear breathing.
The sound of breathing is much louder and rougher than it could be considered human. However, there was no way it was a dungeon monster. Because the undead skeletons couldn’t even breathe, let alone hide.
Whatever it was, I needed to check.
Slam!
X took out his equipment in case of an unexpected situation and walked through the darkness.
“…what?”
What came into X’s field of vision was a forest wolf with a subtle green mane. This is the forest wolf I hunted before entering the dungeon.
The difference was that this guy was much bigger than the other guys, and his teeth and claws were much sharper. The mortally wounded man was breathing heavily.
What’s going on? X couldn’t help but be dumbfounded for a moment. The guy who noticed that X opened his mouth slightly.
-How come humans here…? As death approaches, is everything now visible?
A voice was heard overlapping the growling sound. I feel sorry for him, but he seems to be able to understand thanks to eating a heavenly dish made from forest wolf meat.
Even though X didn’t know the exact situation, he had an idea. A wolf lying wounded in the middle of a dungeon! Anyone could see that the incident smelled like a quest.
‘I really need to use my time wisely, right?’
X quickly lit a fire and added water to the pot. I began to boil the stew by selecting only the ingredients that were effective in relieving fatigue and regenerating stamina. At the same time, a large piece of meat was grilled on the side.
The forest wolf growled.
-…Who is that person who appeared in my fantasy?
“Hey, it’s not an illusion.”
-What?! Do you understand me?
“It’s a long story, but I’m sorry it happened that way. Could you come all the way here? Where do I need to go in a hurry? After taking this, don’t go anywhere and get a good rest. “I’ll be back soon!”
Shush!
The moment X finished speaking, a forced logout occurred. X disappeared after leaving behind rapid-fire words!
The lone wolf used all his remaining strength to look around.
“Crrrrrrrrrrr?”
Was it just an illusion? No, if it’s a fantasy, how should I explain those foods that I can clearly see even now? Is it because a lot of blood was shed? My head didn’t turn.
However, the wolf in the forest instinctively crawled towards food.
“Krrrrrrr!!”
It was my first time eating such delicious meat. If I were to describe the taste… it’s a taste that I would only eat in a fantasy before I die.
The wolf hungrily chewed the meat. I finished all the stew in the pot.
“Grrrrr…”
Then my eyes closed of their own accord. No matter how much I thought about it, it was clear that this was nonsense. It’s a sweet fantasy that you see just before you die to forget the pain.
Damn, I still have work to do. The wolf was resentful of his eyes that were helplessly closing.
The wolf, who had closed his eyes like that, came to his senses when X reconnected and grabbed his mane and shook it.
How anxious I was, fearing that the wolf carrying the scent of last night’s quest had disappeared!
X sighed in relief when he saw the wolf and opened his mouth.
“Okay, you were sleeping peacefully.”
“…Grrr?”
“Let’s see.” The bleeding on the nape of my neck has stopped and my complexion has become brighter, so I look fine. “Now then, please tell me. What brought you to this dangerous place?”
The situation for the quest has begun.
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
