Chapter 7 : This is heaven♡

Elysium.

The goddess’s paradise for all good people, regardless of race.

And a place where great heroes find rest and start a new life.

But,

Not everyone who exists in this place now was a strong hero.

Elysium was called a land full of peace.

Because heroes or those who had done good deeds, who had worked hard to save the world,

reached this paradise because they wanted a peaceful and leisurely life.

Strong heroes full of fighting spirit all went to Valhalla,

and even the strong ones in Elysium eventually grew tired of their comfortable lives and left to find a new life.

Their vacant positions were

filled with souls who qualified to come here only with their good hearts.

As a result, Elysium was no longer a paradise for heroes,

but a world of ordinary people enjoying a peaceful daily life.

Even the remaining warriors lost their fighting instincts and senses in their long comfort.

At least those who hadn’t yet laid down their weapons

only soothed their boring days by sparring with each other in the only arena in the capital.

However………

This paradise was only full of peace.

A disaster befell Elysium, where no one thought danger would occur.

It was the moment when the door they called a dungeon, written as the amusement park entrance, appeared.

Each of those who encountered the disaster had big and small regrets in their heads.

‘I shouldn’t have acted up just because I learned some swordsmanship’

‘Aish, I died in the first room of an E-class dungeon.’

‘I’m even scared of mimics.’

‘Should I have prayed more reverently?’

Their regrets were expressed in various forms, but the thoughts that came to their minds were the same.

At this moment,

they couldn’t handle this terrible disaster with their own skills.

But what could they do?

The disaster before their eyes wasn’t solved with regret.

They could only stare at the bizarre door in fear and powerlessness.

Believing that the neighbors who had bragged about being great in their past lives would solve this terrible situation,

the warrior, who had been hesitant and watching, timidly raised his sword.

“…Let’s go quickly and save the child.”

“Th, that’s right! If we don’t step up… no one will save them.”

“…Let’s go.”

The moment people cautiously took a step,

suddenly the huge door and fence began to heave.

The size increased and decreased.

It went up and down.

It went left and right.

It moved up and down, left and right, jaggedly and quickly, like a living creature.

The people froze in fear.

“Wh, what is it?!”

“The dungeon entrance is moving!”

“Hey! Wait! There’s a swamp on the floor!”

The black swamp around them also began to surge and wave.

It was a disaster caused by the red bean rice cake being near the fence and entrance, but they had no way of knowing that fact.

Moreover..

The red bean paste began to scatter towards the people due to the combination of violent movement and wind.

“Spores! It’s a spore attack!”

“Is it poison powder?!”

“What?! Poison?!”

The people were momentarily swept away by the fact that they couldn’t die and were swept away by fear.

The village chief also didn’t properly grasp the situation and shouted with a shocked face.

“Everyone retreat! Retreat!”

“Ye, yes!”

The people, terrified, stepped back as soon as they heard the village chief’s words.

It was as if the entire vast sanctuary had become the monster’s domain.

“What is that scattering in the wind?! Is it poison? Is it magic?!”

“Block your mouths first! It might be dangerous to breathe!”

To those who didn’t know the identity of the red bean paste, it looked like a life-threatening poison powder,

and that sight was an unprecedented chaos that they had never experienced in Elysium.

People lowered their bodies to avoid the wind and supported each other.

They no longer had any will to move forward.

In front of this terrible disaster, the village chief shouted with his eyes tightly closed.

“…Everyone, let’s go back. This is impossible with our power.”

“Village Chief!”

“But the child…!”

“This is a paradise where you can be resurrected even if you die… but we don’t know what will happen to our fate in the face of such a disaster. Our souls may be annihilated.”

The village chief sighed deeply and continued.

“If we are annihilated here, the time to report the danger will be delayed. The child is unfortunate, but….”

Everyone lowered their heads.

Their faces were filled with pity, anger, and deep powerlessness.

People slowly turned and began to retreat.

Leaving behind the terrible sanctuary where red bean paste was flying and the red bean rice cake swamp was surging.

I even purchased [Colorful and Pretty!].

The remaining points are 280.

The coloring is still upsetting when I think about it, but

I think I really bought [Colorful and Pretty!] well.

-Colorful and Pretty!: You can freely change the color of the magic pen.

-Uses: Unlimited

-Purchase Cost: 300 points

Unlike other functions with limited uses,

[Colorful and Pretty!] allows you to freely change colors without any usage limits.

Moreover

“Waaa! I’m finally escaping from the nasty black!”

I was sad that cuteness and black were far apart.

The outer surface of the castle, which was a masterpiece, was also painted entirely black,

so it didn’t turn out as pretty as I thought.

“Ehet, now I feel like I can design!”

I roamed the castle, humming a song.

What should I color with this?

The castle? The fence? The entrance? Or the wings on my back?

My joy was short-lived, and I sighed as I recalled the grind I had done until a little while ago.

“Ugh, I don’t even want to touch the buildings today….”

Still, I can add new things like ribbons or star decorations to the castle, right?

The ribbon should be a bright pink,

and the star decorations should be a little special, like sky blue? Pastel tones?

Just thinking about it made my body bob up and down.

“Jooaa! [Colorful and Pretty!] Please make it a super pretty pink!”

However, [Colorful and Pretty!] didn’t respond at all, to the point where I felt embarrassed for being so excited.

Just in case, I drew a line in the air, but only black came out.

‘……Did I get scammed?’

I shouted pink again, but only the echo of ‘pinkeuuu’ came back.

I wondered what was wrong and opened the status window.

-Detailed Features

RGB Mode: Implements the desired color by entering RGB values.

HEX Mode: Implements the desired color with a HEX code.

I know what RGB is, but what’s HEX?

As someone with a congenital alphabet phobia, I shuddered the more I looked at it.

Should I try one by one first?

Starting with RGB, which I know something about.

“Oong, is this how you do it? RGB Mode!”

Only then did [Colorful and Pretty!], which had been unresponsive, become active.

But…

Very simply, only this floated before my eyes.

R:
G:
B:

I’m sorry for not studying the textbooks all my life.

Since I did something wrong, won’t you give me even a little hint?

“What am I supposed to do if you just throw those three things at me… Do I get a bonus if I write them in the order of red, green, and blue?”

At that moment, a notification window popped up.

[Would you like to enhance Colorful and Pretty!?

-Enhancement Effect: You can see the minimum and maximum values of RGB mode.

-Purchase Cost: 100 points

I clutched my forehead that was throbbing as soon as I saw it.

This damn feature splitting.

This terrible tactic.

I should have felt something fishy from the fact that the number of uses was unlimited!

Since HEX might be easier, let’s do that first.

“HEX Mode!”

But this was even worse.

…What am I supposed to do!

The moment I thought that, the minimum and maximum value enhancement notification window popped up, as always.

I’ve only been in this world for less than a day.

I’m wondering if I received a reward for saving the world, or if I got a job as a bonus for saving the world.

I sighed like the ground was sinking and turned off HEX mode.

“…Ugh, alright. Let’s live by what I know, RGB Enhancement!”

At the same time as the enhancement, a detailed description was added to the status window.

RGB Mode Description:

R (Red): 0255
G (Green): 0255
B (Blue): 0~255

That’s strange. Why can’t I understand it even when I see it?

The moment I thought that, the annoying tactics raised their heads again.

[Would you like to enhance Colorful and Pretty!?

-Enhancement Effect: You can see the color preview of RGB mode.

-Purchase Cost: 500 points

…The features I bought are the most expensive.

I didn’t even have enough points to buy that

and I didn’t want to be tricked anymore, so I resolutely turned off the notification window.

“I can just try it one by one, right!”

The feature splitting is so malicious, I can’t imagine what it would have been like if there was a limit to the number of uses.

It was ridiculous that this felt like the final bit of conscience.

“U, it’s not like I’m predicting lottery numbers… 255, 244, 200!”

This is something like light yellow.

This is a really dark green.

This is…

I made a notepad and a pen with the magic pen and was working hard to record them….

[Would you like to enhance Colorful and Pretty!?

-Enhancement Effect: You can save the color of RGB mode.

-Purchase Cost: 200 points (100 points per 5 slots)

…Was the one I met a goddess or an evil god?

If I have a chance to meet them again,

I will definitely ask and question them about the identity of this terrible system.

However, as I was diligently decorating the wings and the castle, I achieved an achievement, and

I thought it would be better to buy ‘Color Save,’ so I pressed the purchase button.

…Let’s buy the preview next time. I might need more things later.’

More importantly, there was something more urgent now.

Because something I wanted to make came to mind.

“Jooaa! 222, 2, 222!”

After the RGB value grind, I found a pretty pink and decided.

I have to make a rabbit mascot with this color!
