Three Meals of a Reincarnator - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: Episode 108

“I got it at a building near the Warp Gate. They were selling pretty decent lunch boxes. Since I’ve never tried that place before, I was worried. But you should try it.”

In response to Ho Sung Lee’s response, Min Sung checked its contents.

On top of the white rice was a row of eel.

And around it was fried shrimp, Bulgogi, two chicken wings, and various side dishes and fruits.

It was a lunch box that was capable of filling him up.

He liked it.

It felt as though his belly was banging on drums for the lunch to be ingested.

Min Sung took out the wooden chopsticks and started with the rice.

Since it was a lunch box, it was cold.

But he accepted it and started eating.

After eating some dry rice, he tried the eel on top.

Om nom-

Min Sung nodded.

Despite the side dishes being cold, it was still delicious.

It tasted like an eel that was sold at a large supermarket.

But it was still fresh.

It was different from lunch boxes from convenience stores.

He had no choice but to acknowledge it as a top-notch lunch.

He then remembered his childhood.

He remembered eating lunch on top of a picnic blanket with his grandmother when he was at a sports event.

Of course, it wasn’t a fancy lunch by any means.

It was just Kimbap.

That was all.

Min Sung smiled.

‘I’d better try Kimbap next time,’ he thought as he continued to eat.

After seeing Min Sung enjoying his lunch, Ho Sung Lee finally relaxed and sat in a corner.

As for Bowl, he crawled back into Min Sung’s pocket.

Min Sung got a spoonful of rice. He put an anchovy on top and ate it with a fried shrimp.

The shrimp was cold, but it was still delicious.

If it wasn’t fried food, it wouldn’t have been delicious even after it had gone cold.

And for some reason, this lunch had a different charm from all the other foods he had eaten.

There were times like that.

When instant food was unbelievably delicious.

And that was what was happening now.

He didn’t want to eat it all the time, but there was nothing better than a lunch box when he wanted a simple meal.

Min Sung then looked at the marinated chicken and tilted his head.

‘Would this go well with rice?’

‘I’ll try it.’

He ate the rice followed by the chicken wings.

‘Huh?’ It was better than he expected.

He thought it would be weird, but the combination was quite delicious.

He decided that he would try eating chicken with rice again sometime.

Chicken and rice.

‘Chi-rice.’

Min Sung didn’t know that Chi-rice was already a thing and ate happily at the thought of coming up with a new invention.

After clearing out the eel and side dishes, he looked at the fruits.

The fruits consisted of strawberries, kiwi, and oranges.

The fruits were only in small amounts since it was a lunch box.

However, it was an appropriate amount.

‘Good thing I don’t eat too much,’ Min Sung thought as he bit into a strawberry.

The strawberry crunched down softly as its sweet flavor spread all over his mouth.

The strawberry in his lunch box was a very delicious strawberry.

It was so delicious that he felt like it was the main attraction.

On the other hand, the kiwi and oranges were just so-so.

However, in terms of balance, it wasn’t so bad. Actually, it was quite spectacular.

Despite some time having passed, the fact that the lunch box still provided such quality meant that it needed to be praised.

After sleeping and eating, he felt as though he was born again.

Min Sung threw away his lunch box and got up with the water bottle in the plastic bag.

It was time to move onto the next floor.

“Let’s go.”

Min Sung led the way and began to walk up the stairs.

***

The robed man appeared at the assembly.

The hunters, who were talking about Min Sung Kang and Ho Sung Lee, stared weirdly at the man in a robe.

Some of the hunters even approached the robed man.

“This area is prohibited to outsiders.”

“I came to meet Master Ethan. Lead the way.”

In response to the robed man’s dry response, the hunters laughed.

“Who do you think you are…?”

The robed man lifted his head and stared at the hunter.

The hunter’s body stiffened in response.

He instinctively felt as though death was near.

“Tell him I’m here,” the robed man repeated.

The hunter trembled and immediately went into the tent with clenched teeth to report to Ethan.

A moment later, American hunter master, Ethan, came out of the tent.

The robed man took out a nameplate and threw it at Ethan who was coming his way.

Ethan caught the nameplate and stared at the robed man with surprised eyes.

“Tell the commanders to leave the meeting room.”

In response to Ethan’s order, the subordinate immediately ran into the tent.

***

Inside the empty tent was the robed man and Ethan.

The robed man sat down without a word.

Ethan held the nameplate and sat next to him

The nameplate that the robed man threw to him.

The nameplate represented the large Chinese Clan, ‘Samchunkyo’.

“I predicted that China would make a move. I didn’t think it would be Samchunkyo.”

Ethan spoke in a way that was more modest than usual.

China.

The place where the strongest hunters of the world existed.

That place was deemed a completely different world.

On top of that, Samchunkyo was known as the most powerful group within China.

Ethan had no choice but to back down in front of them.

“Are you here because of the tower that appeared here?”

Ethan waited with great anticipation.

The robed man took out a small bagged item and put it on the table.

Ethan knitted his brow and stared at it.

“What’s this?”

“This will advance your abilities. Samchunkyo doesn’t deal with people who consider monsters their main opponents. So instead of stepping up themselves, they decided to give you more power.”

Ethan stared at the item and the robed man with suspicious eyes.

“Make your decision,” the robed man urged.

When Ethan hesitated to speak, the robed man continued,

“If you refuse the offer, this item will go to the next commander.”

Ethan grew anxious.

“… How effective is it?”

Ethan asked with some suspicion and anticipation.

“If you ingest this, the American hunters will be able to conquer the tower on their own. Once you confirm its effects, give it to your subordinates as well.”

Ethan stared at the small item and gulped.

He had no other choice.

At this rate, the Koreans would obtain the jurisdiction, and for America, that was the worst-case scenario.

“If I ingest this, I’ll be more skilled, and if I want, you’ll give us more for our team?”

The robed man nodded.

“What is it that you want?”

“First, confirm its effects, and if you make up your mind, contact this number.”

The robed man passed him a business card and got up.

He left the tent and Ethan, who remained by himself, staring at the item on the table.

At that moment, someone called him from outside the tent.

“Master!”

Ethan quickly put the item in his pocket.

“Come in.”

In response, the subordinate ran inside.

“The investigation team hasn’t come back yet, and on top of that… a team leader who followed Ho Sung Lee to obtain more information was found dead.”

Ethan sprung up with a stiffened face.

***

Slashhhhhh!

Min Sung’s Orichalcum Sword ripped three devils to shreds.

As the devils died, they also dropped items at the same time.

Ho Sung Lee’s item window was already full, and Min Sung’s item window was about to be full as well.

He only had enough room to put in 3 more items.

After only picking up the best 3 items, Min Sung knitted his brows.

“How many floors are there?”

He clicked his tongue and turned around.

“Let’s go back.”

When Min Sung said that, Ho Sung Lee was relieved.

He was so rushed earlier, that he only brought one lunch box.

If they happened to keep going and asked for another lunch box, that would have meant he would have had to repeat that process all over again.

But since he decided to leave the tower in order to deal with the items first, Ho Sung Lee couldn’t be happier.

And it was a bonus that he could get away from the evils.

He then saw Bowl who looked out of energy.

He seemed the saddest now out of all the times he had seen Bowl up until this point.

***

“Bowl. Why do you look so out of it?”

In response, Bowl just walked with his head down without a word.

At that moment, Min Sung received a message.

Ding!

[Lich Doll, “Bowl” is sad.]

[Due to sunlight exposure, his stamina has suffered.]

[Lich Doll, “Bowl” cannot endure it any longer.]

[Warning: Lich Doll requires care.]

[Would you like to seal the Lich Doll temporarily?]

[Accept / Reject]

It asked if he wanted to seal Bowl.

Min Sung pressed “reject” without a single thought.

He then looked at Bowl.

Bowl’s original state was a lich.

He was used to living in the dark.

Since he was exposed to a lot of sunlight, he became very exhausted.

He was going to resolve the issue eventually, but the only thing he could do at the moment was to give Bowl some comfort.

“Seeing how the devils keep going up in rank, we might see some high-level devils soon. Then I’ll make it so that you can be an undead. Then you’ll be quite powerful.”

Bowl’s dying eyes suddenly brightened up.
