“Wh-What?”

The man who entered the barrier paused, looked around, and then scratched a mark on the wall, seemingly to retrace his steps.

“He’s aware of the barrier?”

Parenhope’s eyes widened. He wasn’t the only one surprised. Even Mokuru, usually brimming with confidence, was visibly shaken.

“…”

The man’s actions were decisive. As if he’d assessed the barrier, he smiled confidently, extended his hand, and let a red energy drip onto the ground.

Drip.

The moment the red energy touched the ground, a chilling sensation ran through them, raising goosebumps on their arms. The man then started walking without hesitation, heading straight towards the center of the barrier, where Parenhope and Mokuru stood.

Woong!

The barrier resonated, attempting to repel the man with various obstacles, but nothing could stop him.

Thud. Thud.

Even as the final barrier, a pitch-black darkness that would terrify any ordinary human, rose up, the man continued walking forward, as if he knew the way.

“…Impossible.”

“Oh my god.”

Parenhope and Mokuru gaped, unable to believe their eyes.

Rip!

The sound of tearing paper echoed from the barrier.

“He’s coming! He’s coming inside!”

Parenhope shouted, his voice strained. The barrier split open, and the man stepped inside. Mokuru, seeing him, smiled brightly and greeted him in a booming voice.

“Welcome, great warrior!”

Parenhope rushed forward, echoing the greeting with a bright smile.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you!”

Their enthusiastic welcome wasn’t without reason.

‘He broke through Zazan’s barrier in under ten minutes.’

Zazan was one of the top five barrier masters on Earth. Even heads of state and wealthy businessmen paid exorbitant fees to have Zazan construct barriers for them. His skill was undeniable.

‘This man…!’

He would be able to fully absorb the elixirs they’d painstakingly crafted over years, even decades. A true customer, not just some random passerby, had finally arrived. Parenhope wasn’t the only one thinking this. Mokuru’s eyes also gleamed with excitement.

‘Truly a magnificent warrior.’

He wouldn’t admit that the barrier was excessive, lest he face further ridicule, but even Mokuru knew how formidable Zazan’s barrier was. Even SS-rank hunters, the strongest on Earth by their standards, would get lost if they entered unprepared.

But this man had broken through it effortlessly. The worthy warrior they’d been searching for had finally arrived. As an alchemist who’d reached the level of master craftsman, this was truly a joyous occasion.

“Greetings, I am Mokuru of the Beastkin tribe.”

“Hello, I’m an elf, as you can see, and my name is Parenhope.”

The man, Lee Seong-joon, looked at Mokuru and Parenhope, who were greeting him with bright smiles, and finally spoke cautiously, “…My name is Lee Seong-joon.”

He’d been wary, hidden within such a powerful barrier, unsure how to approach them. But his worries were short-lived.

‘I don’t sense any hostility…’

And even if there was, it wouldn’t matter.

‘At best, they’re first-rate martial artists.’

They wouldn’t be difficult opponents for him. But he hadn’t greeted them simply because he’d assessed their strength.

‘They have the elixirs I’m looking for.’

It wasn’t just a hunch. He saw elixirs of a different quality than those displayed outside, on the shelves behind Parenhope and Mokuru.

“Are you selling those elixirs?”

“Of course. We can sell to a skilled individual like yourself. Would you like to take a look?”

Lee Seong-joon smiled brightly at Mokuru’s offer. He’d finally found proper elixirs after searching for so long. His efforts had been rewarded.

“Yes, I’d like to see them.”

“You won’t be disappointed. I’ve prepared outstanding elixirs befitting a great warrior. Hahaha!”

Mokuru laughed heartily and was about to lead him into the shop when…

“Wait!”

Parenhope called out to Lee Seong-joon.

“What kind of elixir are you looking for? Most humans, or rather, hunters, seek elixirs that enhance Qi. Is that what you’re looking for as well?”

“An elixir like that would be preferable.”

“Then why not look at my elixirs first, before that foolish bear’s? Mine are made with the help of spirits, so they’re much more effective for enhancing Qi.”

Indeed, when it came to Qi enhancement, elves, who communed with nature and wielded spirits, were superior to the physically-oriented beastkin.

“In that case…”

Lee Seong-joon nodded, convinced by Parenhope’s words, and was about to turn when…

“Hey, elf! Play fair.”

“Play fair? I’m just trying to sell what the customer wants.”

Mokuru’s face twisted in annoyance. He seemed to have made up his mind.

“Don’t be fooled by that elf. As a great warrior, you know that to become truly strong, you must train not only your body but also your inner strength, your Qi. Naturally, I have elixirs that can achieve that effect.”

Parenhope’s eyes widened.

“You don’t mean…?”

Mokuru smirked at Parenhope.

“Earth Dragon Pill. As the name suggests, it’s made using the core of a 50-year-old earth dragon, my greatest masterpiece. It enhances both the body and Qi. If you’re interested, I’d be willing to sell it to you.”

Lee Seong-joon’s curiosity was piqued by Mokuru’s confident demeanor.

“Can I see it?”

“One moment, please.”

As Mokuru went into the shop, Parenhope frowned and headed towards his own shop. About five minutes later…

Mokuru returned and handed Lee Seong-joon a brown sphere.

“This is the Earth Dragon Pill.”

Lee Seong-joon immediately understood why Mokuru called it a masterpiece. The fragrance was unique. A clear, earthy scent filled his lungs. It reminded him of the first time he’d encountered an elixir in the Thousand Continents.

‘This is practically a quasi-elixir.’

He’d found what he was looking for. Lee Seong-joon’s eyes gleamed.

“How much?”

“Hahaha! I knew you’d like it. Just for you, I’ll…”

Mokuru smiled, about to name the price when…

“W-Wait!”

Parenhope rushed back, holding out a blue sphere.

“This is ‘Blessing of the Forest,’ made with the leaves of the Great World Tree, my finest creation. It’s much more effective for Qi enhancement than that bear’s pill.”

His words weren’t empty boasts. Like the Earth Dragon Pill, its fragrance was in a different league. A cool, refreshing scent, like mint, filled the air. Parenhope’s elixir was indeed remarkable.

“If you buy it now, I’ll give it to you for 19 billion won.”

“Not bad.”

To be precise, it was an excellent price.

‘Quasi-elixirs usually cost over 20 billion won each.’

He’d researched the market prices before coming to Dongmyo. This was a good deal. But with two options, he couldn’t make a hasty decision.

“Hmm…”

As Lee Seong-joon pondered, stroking his chin, Mokuru spoke urgently, “I-I’ll give it to you for 18 billion won!”

This was their first customer in three months, a powerful warrior who’d effortlessly broken through Zazan’s barrier. It was more fulfilling to sell to someone who could appreciate the true value of his elixir than to overcharge clueless customers.

But the discount wasn’t just for personal satisfaction or craftsmanship.

‘As a proud beastkin warrior, I can’t lose to that elf.’

They were both master craftsmen, among the few in all of Korea, and due to Zazan’s exorbitant barrier fees, he had no choice but to share the space with Parenhope. But beastkin and elves had been rivals for centuries.

He wouldn’t lose this competition, not when his pride was on the line. But Mokuru wasn’t the only one burning with competitive spirit. Parenhope’s eyes also flashed.

“What? Then I’ll give it to you for 17 billion won!”

“Then I’ll sell it for 16 billion won.”

The sale of elixirs had become a matter of pride between the beastkin and elves, even labor costs were being disregarded.

“How about 15 billion won? This is practically selling at cost, just covering the materials.”

“Then I’ll also sell it for 15 billion won.”

The price of the elixirs had dropped to their base cost, a massive discount of 5 billion won per elixir, 10 billion won for both. There was no reason to hesitate any longer. Lee Seong-joon smiled and nodded.

The Demon God Returns as a Max Level Player

Score 9.3
Status: Ongoing Type: Author: Artist: Released: 2022 Native Language: Korean
Lee Seongjun had ascended to the position of a Demon God, a position that had once made even the celestial realm tremble in fear, and he had grasped everything. The awe of countless people, enough gold and jewels to last a lifetime, and absolute power that could redraw the map of the continent with a single word. 'But it's all a lie.' They only pretended to be in awe, offered sacrifices, and bowed their heads to protect their own interests and privileges. There was no one who stood by him unconditionally, without expecting anything in return, like his family had. 'It seems like I have everything, but in the end, I have nothing.' Therefore, he would return. To Earth, which he had longed for so long, to the arms of his precious family. He would correct his past incompetent and foolish actions and find true happiness.
