Three Meals of a Reincarnator

Chapter 299: Chapter 299

***

The people of Seoul as well as Korea had gone over to other countries.

The media attempted to approach the situation, but due to the barrier made by the red dragon, Repone, they had no choice but to film it via helicopter or drone.

In any case, the entire world was watching by while Min Sung waited for his next meal.

“Today’s dish is clam stew,” explained Ho Sung Lee as he pointed at the pot of boiling and steaming main dish.

It was phenomenal.

The silver pot was huge, and it continued to boil without the heat of the gas burner, and the visuals that was inside was crazy.

There were various kinds of clams, shrimp, fish cakes, squid, and even living octopus.

And the foggy white color of the clam stew was enough to make his belly and mind go dizzy.

He didn’t have much of an appetite due to the nervousness caused by the devil gate, but as soon as he saw the food, Min Sung felt his appetite surging.

‘Let’s try this thing.’

He started with the scallops.

It was well-cooked, so he was able to separate the meat from the shell easily

He dipped it in soy sauce with wasabi and put it to his mouth.

Om nom-

It was the taste that he predicted, but as soon as he actually put it into his mouth, it was even better than he imagined.

It was fresh.

“I made it with living shellfish, so it’ll taste great.”

In response to Ho Sung Lee, Min Sung nodded.

Since the materials were fresh, the flavor was a work of art.

Most importantly, with the scent derived from the broth, it was truly the best clam stew he had ever had.

After tasting a few scallops, he spooned some broth.

Min Sung knitted his brows.

He couldn’t help but look mad when something was too good to be true.

That was the expression of someone who knew how to enjoy food properly!

The broth of the clam stew was the best.

When he drank the pale milky broth, the spiciness tickled his nose, and the broth had the power to be refreshing.

And the spiciness caused by the peppers in the broth heated up his body.

It was the right amount of spicy, and the broth’s shellfish scent gave it a deeper flavor.

“Why don’t you try dipping it in the spicy sauce?”

As Ho Sung Lee advised, Min Sung dipped a piece of clam in the spicy sauce, and the chewy shellfish as well as the flavor of the spicy sauce made his mouth feel refreshed.

Min Sung continued to eat the shellfish when he flinched with surprise.

That was because he forgot about the cooked octopus inside.

Octopus no longer tasted good if cooked too much, so it had to be eaten as soon as possible.

Min Sung erased the shellfish from his memories and focused on eating the octopus next.

As soon as he dipped the octopus in soy sauce with wasabi, the chewy texture and the sweet flavor of the octopus caused for his entire body to fill up with stamina.

Upon finishing the octopus, Min Sung quickly cleared the scallops, clams, abalones, and more.

He thought the portion was large, but after eating with much focus, he ran out of shellfish to eat.

Ho Sung Lee added the perfect amount of shellfish, and while Min Sung felt disappointment in finishing, Ho Sung Lee proved that he wasn’t to be underestimated.

“Here are the chopped noodles.”

Min Sung stared at the noodles that entered the broth of his finished clam stew.

The noodles plopped into the broth and began boiling.

The way the noodles cooked inside the broth almost looked like a work of art.

The sound of rain falling.

Min Sung, who finished his clam stew in the cold temperature created by the wind, waited for the chopped noodles to finish cooking.

This time of waiting was the definition of happiness.

“It’s all cooked. Go ahead, Sir.”

In response to Ho Sung Lee, Min Sung moved some of the chopped noodles to his side plate and transferred some broth with a ladle.

He then picked up the side plate and inhaled the noodles.

“Slurp!”

The hot noodles quickly entered his mouth.

The soft texture of the noodles as well as the scent of the clam stew swept over him like a wave.

While watching Min Sung munch on the steaming noodles and drinking the broth straight from the bowl, Ssol and Repone were unable to move their eyes away.

That was how much Min Sung enjoyed the clam stew.

***

The day passed, and it reached nighttime.

Min Sung was sleeping, and the same went for Bowl, Ssol, and Repone.

Only Ho Sung Lee was still awake.

It was midnight.

Ho Sung Lee, who was the only one awake, smoked a cigarette in front of the clear tent window while looking outside.

“It looks so scary.”

Ho Sung Lee clicked his tongue at the gigantic gate outside the tent.

Upgraded devils would soon pour out of it.

Just the thought of it made him shiver.

After staring at the fiery gate for a moment, Ho Sung Lee knitted his brows and stuck out his head toward the gate before putting on a raincoat. He stepped out of the tent and threw out his cigarette.

The gate was transforming in a new way.

Ho Sung Lee, who watched it with a serious face, gulped loudly.

It appeared that the catastrophe they had been dreading would soon begin, and bad feelings were always correct.

He could see the fire around the gate spreading out further, but that didn’t mean it was any hotter.

There was no change in temperature, but he couldn’t say there was no change at all.

After all, this was the first outer transformation that took place since the gate appeared.

And there was no telling what that change hinted at the start of a war, but he knew it wasn’t something he could ignore either.

“Sir… Sir!”

Ho Sung Lee shouted while looking at the gate.

In response, Min Sung slowly opened his eyes, followed by Bowl, Ssol, and Repone.

Min Sung got up from his bed and stood next to Ho Sung Lee.

He then watched the gate transform.

“I think something’s starting. Don’t you think?”

Ho Sung Lee asked while staring at the gate with a nervous face.

“Go out and smoke a cigarette. It may be your last. And while you’re out there, check that there’s no one else around.”

“Don’t say such scary things.”

Ho Sung Lee glared at Min Sung before taking out his cigarette and stepping outside.

Min Sung checked that Ho Sung Lee stepped out before gesturing to Bowl with his hand.

Bowl ran over to Min Sung and looked up at his master with his large head.

Min Sung looked down at Bowl and opened his mouth.

“Bowl.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Ho Sung Lee will die.”

“…”

Bowl stared up at Min Sung without a word.

Min Sung continued, “When he does, collect his body. Don’t make him into an Undead, and just collect his body. Got it?”

“Of course, Master. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of son of a b*tch for you!”

“Stay behind me and turn the dead devils into the Undead. Don’t do anything else. That’s an order!”

Bowl nodded.

“Yes, Master.”

Min Sung took a deep breath before looking at the gate again.

The fire of the gate shot up to the sky before sweeping over the dark clouds of the sky.

In response, the drones and helicopters that were above quickly flew away in surprise.

Even if there was a change happening, that didn’t mean the devils would pop out immediately.

Min Sung hoped that the devils would appear soon, but he tried to have mind control in order to get that thought out of his head.

Greed and restlessness could easily lead to mistakes, and mistakes could cause death.

That was one of the things he learned in the Demonic Realm, so he couldn’t go against that one rule.

It was possible he was simply avoiding the Demonic Realm until now, but that ended here.

He didn’t want to get involved with such dirty things any longer.

Even if he had to put his life on the line, Min Sung was determined to put an end to the Demonic Realm once and for all.

All the preparations were complete.

‘Come at me.’

Min Sung glared his eyes toward the gate that lit the sky on fire.

***

Ho Sung Lee made a call to Ji Yoo Kim to check that no more soldiers of Central Institute remained in the surrounding areas, and he was notified that all coast was clear.

Since they had already undergone a search before leaving the site, she confirmed that no one was around except for Min Sung’s party.

Ever since the soldiers of Central Institute left, Repone’s barrier had kept his place completely sealed.

Ho Sung Lee put out his cigarette with his foot and returned to the tent where Min Sung was.

“There’s no problem.”

In response, Min Sung nodded.

At that moment…

Rumbleee!

The gate made a loud noise.

And then…

Boommmmm!

The gate made an explosive sound as if the gate exploded.

But aside from the explosion and the hot air, no other changes could be seen.

“I think it’s starting,” said Ho Sung Lee while looking up at the gate.

Just like he said, countless devils began to crawl out of the entrance of the gigantic gate.

Plop, plop, plop, plop! Plop, plop, plop!

Devils began to drop to the ground.

The devils, which had horns, dark skin, and wings, opened their eyes wide and glanced around to see if there was anything to eat.

Meanwhile, the gate continued to pour out devils.

The sight of devils piling on top of the ground was horrific.
