Merlin nominated himself for father of the month. After all, taking care of a dragon was no easy feat. He hadn’t thought fully about how to handle the aftermath of ripping a dragon out of a dungeon which should, naturally—if that was the right word—not exist. In fact, he hadn’t even been expecting it to be possible, taking a monster out of a dungeon and tending to it, that was. His whole quest had just been filled with the thought of having a monster that possessed as much mana as an A-Class Mage be his practice partner day in and day out so that he could level up his Intelligence Attribute quickly. And, now, he was stuck tending to it. There were no rule books to take care of a dragon, and it was the same in Singularity Mage. Kieran hadn’t taken in the dragon after clearing Glace’s Ice Cave Dungeon. He had set it free into the wild to fend for itself and continued on his journey. Which was why Merlin had nothing to fall back on to help him with his dilemma. But he had been doing well for the past month. The dragon was a lot different from Po, he and Nora’s cat back in London. It slept a lot, was barely mischievous, smart and knew right from wrong. The problem came in its feeding. It was an ice dragon so it didn’t eat anything hot, and whatever it ate—which was solely raw meat—had to be freezing, basically. As a result, electric bills had spiked, and so had money spent during shopping. The dragon ate an awful lot. Merlin’s phone buzzed at that moment. He glanced around the waiting area where he was the only one seated, and pulled it out of his pocket. [Zombie sister: Merlin! Where are you? Ada’s out of hand!] Merlin winced at his screen. He quickly typed and sent a reply. [Merlin: Blue. His name is Blue!] His phone didn’t take too long before it buzzed again. Nora had replied. [Zombie sister: It’s a she, dimwit. And Ada’s the name. Also, hurry back home before this little thing freezes our apartment. Why are you taking so long just to see the Guildmaster?] Merlin heaved out a deep exhale and dipped the phone back in his pocket. Hiding the existence of a dragon was impossible when he lived in the same house as Nora, which was why he had just come clean. Well, not exactly, since he had not mentioned that he had raided a dungeon. He had just crafted up some bullshit about the System giving him a gift for reaching Level fifty in one of his Attributes. Nora had eaten it up. He had never lied to her before—they had promised not to be those kinds of siblings—so she had not been expecting him to have broken that promise. Anyway, she helped him with taking care of Blue, despite how they had argued on his naming and gender—they had no rule book on how to train a dragon,so they both had no idea what exactly Blue’s gender was—and were still arguing on it. As for why he was currently seated in a private reception in the Consortium Guild waiting for its Guildmaster, Headmaster Im Ilseong had asked him to pay the man a visit. It was that simple, really. And the man seemed to be well ready to receive him. Merlin’s mind took a trip back to the day of evaluation in the same building. He recalled how he had been momentarily jealous of Nora meeting up with the Consortium’s Guildmaster because she was an A-Class Mage, and how he was left to sit in the public waiting area all alone. A lot had happened since then, and it seemed he, too, was now important enough to be noticed. It was funny. Life was funny. “Yes,” said the receptionist who was seated at the edge of the door of the private area. Merlin’s attention was reeled towards her, and while he had been in his thoughts, she had picked up a call. She glanced at him. “You may go in now.” Merlin pursed his lips and nodded. Then he stood up as his heart began to pound again, just like it had done when he’d walked into the building, and he headed towards the door a little bit diagonal from where he had been seated. He knocked. “Yes! Come in,” a husky voice replied from the other side. Merlin cleared h
