âOdaigon.â
âAh. Master has come!â
Choi Yeonseungâs presence amazed Odaigon. In the Abyss and in his own realm, Choi Yeonseung didnât have to suppress and hide his power as he did on Earth. Hence, Choi Yeonseung appeared as a constellation! Overwhelming power of existence flowed out of him even if he just stood still. Like a well-forged sword, the power of his existence, which had been perfected, was dazzlingly beautiful.
âBeing in the Abyss is definitely comfortable.â
Earth was his hometown, but he was more comfortable in the Abyss. It couldnât be helped, though. After all, he was a constellation. On Earth, he had to hide his power of existence and the true stage of his martial arts due to the eyes of other constellations.
[The âCat of Lava and Magmaâ says thatâs only natural for a constellation.]
âI still think of myself as a human being...â
[The âCat of Lava and Magmaâ laughs.]
âThis is no laughing matter.â
Choi Yeonseung looked around. The Blood Fortress used to be evil and grotesque, much like its previous master. It had a river of blood, and an aura of madness lingered over it, driving those who lived here crazy about fighting! Hence, the orcs here were understandably running amok and hungered for blood. Even peace-loving people would change if they lived in a place like this.
âWhat are you doing, Odaigon?â
âI was teaching magic to make the orcs here normal.â
The âWarrior Stained with Madness and Bloodâ bestowed evil skills to his minions. âBlood Burstâ, âVision of Madnessâ, âPower of Boiling Bloodâ...
The skills were powerful, but they had severe side effects. They drank blood, lost their sanity, and became infected with madness.
Odaigon was trying to discourage these skills and teach the orcs the traditional, fundamental, and purely authentic goblin magic!
âNow, orcs. Copy me. Summon magic power...â
âHow do you summon magic power?â
âWhat is magic power?â
âWhat does it mean to summon?â
â... How have you been using your skills so far, you bastards?"
Odaigon?was angry. They were pretending not to know anything!
âMaster gave me strength for as long as I believed in him.â
â......â
The Warrior Stained with Madness and Bloodâs minions didnât learn magic. They just believed and fought hard, so they became stronger and stronger.
âIsnât that goblin bastardâs temper too violent?â
âHe has no culture whatsoever. Heâs really vulgar.â
The orcs whispered and cursed at?Odaigon. Odaigon trembled.
âItâs fine, Odaigon. From what I can see, teaching them magic wonât do much good. Iâll just teach them martial arts.â
Choi Yeonseung looked at the orcs. There were many of them.
âDo you like axes?â
âIt is familiar so we use it often.â
âOkay. Iâll teach you how to use an?axe, then.â
Choi Yeonseungâs martial arts were at the stage where he could create a new martial art by closing his eyes and taking a breath. The problem was the type of martial art he should make.
âThey wonât be able to follow if I teach them complicated martial arts.â
Orcs couldnât learn any martial art that was too difficult. The forms had to be simple, easy to learn, and contain the secrets of âstrengthâ and âforceâ to match the power of the orcs...
[You have succeeded in making the C+ rank martial arts skill âGreen Dragon Axe Technique!]
[The power of your existence has risen.]
It shouldnât be underestimated just because it was a C+ rank skill. Choi Yeonseung made it simple for the orcs, but its rank could rise depending on how this skill was studied and developed. Even the Origin of the Celestial Divine Arts, which wasnât anything special in the beginning, eventually reached S-rank as Choi Yeonseung wandered through the Abyss.
âThis should be easy to learn, right?â
[You have failed to teach the âGreen Dragon Axe Techniqueskill.]
[The orcs donât understand it!]
â......â
However, the orcs were far more ignorant than Choi Yeonseung expected.
âNo, itâs already tailored according to your capabilities! Why canât you do it?â
âWords are too complicated.â
âDoes the Green Dragon Axe Techniqueâs âDestruction Dragon Stanceâ mean jumping sideways or backward?â
âShould I swing the?axe?from the left?â
Choi Yeonseung sighed.
âIt canât be helped.â
âOhh. I guess heâs going to make it easier.â
âThe new master is kind, isnât he?â
The orcs murmured. The Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood was violent and fierce. He always sent the orcs into battle. He would even send them to other areas of the Abyss whenever he was bored just so he could watch them fight. The orcs were forced to obey their strong master, but not without complaints.
On the other hand, their new master, the Undefeated Incarnation of Training was very generous. The Warrior Stained with Madness and Blood wouldâve already killed for failing to learn how to use magic, then he wouldâve killed them again when they couldnât learn martial arts! Most constellations had insanely tough personalities. Hence, Choi Yeonseung had one of the best personalities among them.
But it was just an illusion.
âIf you canât understand it through words, then just learn about it through actions.â
Bam!
Choi Yeonseung grabbed a nearby orc and immediately struck him with a hand. The orc flew back while coughing.
[You have used your power of existence.]
[The orcâs injuries have been healed!]
âAhh. Having my own realm is really great.â
Each constellation was like a god, but they wielded even greater power in their realm. In it, they could kill and revive their minions or slice apart the earth and sky with their fingers.
[It matches the name of the âUndefeated Incarnation of Training.â]
[Your power of existence has been amplified!]
In theory, constellations could exert infinite abilities through their power of existence. However, not everything was possible. Everyone had something they were good at. Constellations such as the âBlind Monster of Destructionâ were naturally bad at things like creation or production. Likewise, Undefeated Incarnation of Training Choi Yeonseung could use his power of existence far more skillfully than other constellations regarding training.
Even after being beaten and smashed, the orcs were instantly resurrected due to his power of existence.
Why? Because it was training!
The orcs?wouldâve?normally collapsed due to exhaustion, but with his power of existence, they never fell.
Why? Because it was training!
Choi Yeonseung went on a wild rampage against dozens of orcs. The strange method of moving quickly and engraving the martial art deep into their bones!
âThe attack Iâm executing right now can be blocked by one of the Green Dragon Axe Techniqueâs movements. Donât try to avoid it. Learn the movement and use it! Feel it.â
âKeok, cough, kek, just, if?you, leave?us, no...â
The orcs had strong fighting spirits, but they couldnât help tearfully praying. Couldnât they just be slaves?
However, Choi Yeonseung didnât give up on the orcs. âI believe in you!â
âKuack, crazy, master, meeting you, hardship, kuaaack, kuaack.â
If he broke their arms, heâd reattach them. If he broke their heads, heâd restore them...
There was no constellation that cared for a single minion like this. The peak of kindness!
[The âCat of Lava and Magmaâ is moved by your kindness!]
[The âManipulator of Dreams and Desiresâ is shocked by the training method.]
How many times were they beaten?
An orc struggled desperately and swung his?axe.
[You have succeeded in learning the skill âGreen Dragon Axe Techniqueâ!]
[The orc âGaragonchaâ has succeeded in learning the skill âGreen Dragon Axe Technique!]
[The power of your existence has risen!]
âOh. Garagoncha. How wonderful.â
âT-Thank you. Thank you.â
Garagoncha didnât know whether to be happy that he was praised by the great constellation or to be glad that he could stop now. In any case, he was so happy that he was about to cry!
âKuock. Garagoncha. This jerk...â
âThatâs dirty, but...â
âDonât you have even the slightest sense of loyalty as an orc?â
âMaster!â
The orcs spoke in harmony, puzzling Choi Yeonseung.
âWhat is it? Donât tell me to stop or else Iâll double the intensity.â
âThatâs not it. Wouldnât Garagoncha feel lonely since heâs the only one thatâs not training? Iâm sorry to ask this of Master when we canât even thank you enough for what youâre giving us, but...â
"That's right! Weâre from the same tribe. We canât let Garagoncha be alone!â n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Odaigon?was impressed as he watched from the side. The orcs werenât stupid. If necessary, their intelligence would develop.
âOkay. Garagoncha. I will make the Green Dragon Axe Technique a bit more complicated.â
Bam bam bam bam!
âCough... These sons of...â
Garagoncha resented the other orcs as he was beaten again. Once he finished this training, he would destroy the other orcs with his new skill!

-Youâre a very rare constellation.
-Iâm getting tired of hearing that so much... What is it this time?
-Nothing. There are just no constellations whoâd teach their minions as you do.
The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires truly admired Choi Yeonseungâs behavior. The mortal constellation, Choi?Yeonseung, was?different from other constellations. It felt like she could learn a lot from watching him.
This was the point! The other constellations didnât train their minions this hard. They forcibly dominated thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of beings before selecting useful ones from among them. They didnât even put that much effort into the household members.
The constellations were transcendent beings born of nothing. They were instinctively arrogant and berserk. For most constellations, their minions were like ants! They saw their household members as those who kneeled down and served them, not beings they should take care of.
However, Choi Yeonseung took care of and trained each and every one of his minions. Upon seeing this, the Manipulator of Dreams and Desires thought, âWhy didnât I do this?â
-Umm. It isnât going well.
Choi Yeonseung groaned. What he was doing wasnât going well. Right now, Choi Yeonseung was trying to use his power of existence to change the Blood Fortress into something new.
[Youâre using your power of existence to plow the ground!]
Choi Yeonseung strongly imagined covering up the river of blood and returning the sinister and madness-infested red land to its original state. It worked to some extent. The ominous river of blood disappeared, and the land returned to normal.
What happened next was the problem. Choi Yeonseung wanted to fill the area with some cool buildings like the Goddess of Balance Who Walks Aheadâs realm. The Manipulator of Dreams and Desires also had a beautiful realm. A well-decorated realm gave strength to the constellation. It wasnât something to look down on. However...
âI failed again.â
-What are you trying to make?
-A training ground.
-...Why not make the training ground a bit smaller?
Choi Yeonseung tried to tear off all the materials of the fortress to make a new training groundâa huge Colosseum-style one! However, in the Manipulator of Dreams and Desiresâ eyes, he was like a child trying to fly even though he couldnât even walk yet. It was too large and complicated for Choi Yeonseung, who had little experience using his power of existence to create buildings. Moreover, his constellation name had little to do with architecture.
-But if I make it smaller, it will be less effective.
-... Thatâs true, but I donât think it will be that easy for you. Why donât you bring in races that excel in architecture? Dwarves and elves have a talent for architecture.
-Not orcs?
-Um the orcs... They canât build according to the type of architecture you have in mind.
-Damn. Do I have to walk around and do constellation battles to bring other races here?
-That probably wonât work. This place is full of constellations.
This area was different from the outskirts of the Abyss where Choi Yeonseung had been roaming. It wasnât merely close to Earth. It was also a hot spot full of constellations! The other constellations wouldâve already taken the useful constellations.
-If you donât like it, why donât you use the constellation store?
-......!
The Manipulator of Dreams and Desiresâ advice shocked Choi Yeonseung.
That was right! There was a store!
