Very not finished designs so far

Feel free to join in ~

Stuff so far:

Power level is luck, and Nagyunn has the understanding of luck's nature so he gets to calculate but he's unlucky as shit. Every canon fight is a game. The DDs own the Casino and invite wealthy and dangerous people (Naryun for example) to play there and stuff and Nagyunn has to climb to the top (defeat enough people to grab the DDs attention) to make contact with them.

Fot example, Lauzun is a shuffler who decided to play occasionally. Lyamin is also a shuffler but to more "dangerous" guests. Shuffler have to stop any Violence.

You get to calculate + have luck. For example, Waron, Qilin, others. Everyone's ratio is different.

I think they still have their weapons, as a lucky charm✨️

So I was thinking..... it's pretty foul to make knights into gamblers, so maybe there is a more honorable goal to this? Then it hit me. Maybe it's like Dungeon Meshi, if you somehow conqure or defeat the whole house, you "win" the casino. So maybe the Dragon Descendants Casino has something bad going on that's why so many knights are trying to take them down...? Sounds weird rn I swear it made more sense in my head

Maybe that's what makes a knight a knight. Winning so hard that you kinda have a casino to your name. Maybe named after you? Ohhh so maybe her name is Ludika, but her Casino's name is Rosewood Fox or smth

Remember, only fighters are techniqally gamblers. For example, Fadiyan is a retired gambler and is the bartender rn, but she can play if she wants. Pre-Najin-death Nagyunn was a waiter boy, bringing alcohol and snacks and I suppose Lauzun used to be the same but with a secret connection to the higher ups

You think I'm giving the ladies slutty outfits? Wait till I get to Legia and Luce. THOSE are gonna be slutty.

Bet everybody's buying Nagyunn drinks. And you bet Lauzun serves the rest for free. And Nagyunn doesn't even drink... even though all of these people have to be adults. I hate giving people specific ages, age doesn't exist here, but they are legally drinking and gambling.

You can play pool, any and every card game, arcade type stuff, if you don't get caught you can fight as well, you can put your chips and dignity up to anything

Naver Webtoon April Fool's 2022 Event (saved by Korean Fan): Twitter Post

Genderbent of the characters! Someone asked in the server how the characters would look like and I had to go find deep in the archives (because the images for April Fool's 2022 was app only in Naver)

Thankfully, a fellow fan managed to save a photo!

Some notes on the genderbent:

Nagyunn : Congratulations to Pitch Black Hen for being one of the top famous knights in the TEK series!

Waron : Haha, obviously it's me—

Nagyunn : And also took the spot of one of the top three 'comfort characters'!

Waron :

Waron : Wut?

Nagyunn : Congrats, Qilin. You're next to her.

Zuis :

Fadiyan : As in before or after her?

Nagyunn : Guess.

-----

Wadrin : Wait a minute. Who's the most popular character then?

Luzian : Obviously it's me!

Jiroon : *looking at the statistics on the pinboard. Nagyunn got the most vote*

Jiroon : ...

------

Fidorance : *checking the fanarts*

Fidorance : Nice. Nice... all pictures appropriate, thank goodness.

Ludika : *also checking the fanarts next to him* Why are there lots more of Qilin and Hen?

Fidorance : Guess people just love weirdos.

Ludika : Huh.

Fidorance : *pause*

Ludika : *squint her eyes in disbelief* ....why people kept posting whiz kid with his hair down and—

Ludika : .... looks so cute????

Fidorance & Ludika : *turn to Nagyunn who's at the corner*

Nagyunn : Apparently, anything that I've done that amazed them turn to adoration. And that adoration turns to adorableness. Then it turns to fanarts, for whatever reasons that for once I can't and won't decipher.

(Seriously, I found a picture of a duck that one who posted it said it was Nagyunn after scribbling it. I found it to be really funny. Can't remember who posted it tho.)

Nagyunn : How did you do it?

Laurun : Pardon?

Nagyunn : How do you make people terrified of you and your schemes?

Nagyunn : Every time I done that, they found it rather... yeah. That.

Laurun : Uh—

Yong : Let me answer that.

Yong : To those who can't read the true heart of yours (if you even have one), they'd see you as some kind of predator. Mocking them. Sneering at them while believing that you got incredible power.

Yong : But alas, great powers come with great disadvantages.

Yong : Yours is that the author made your internal dialogues visible to the readers.

Nagyunn :

Laurun :

Laurun : ...what exactly that Nagyunn often thinking about?

Yong : Revenge.

Yong : And everything that made the people think of him in fondness, adoration and scam. Especially scam.

Yong : And also—

Yong : *kicks Nags on the back of his legs*

Nagyunn : H-Hey!

Yong : — betrayal.

Yong : Those darn betrayals.

-----

Lauzun : You know, sometimes when I read the comment section—

Nagyunn : Oh my gosh, why did you do that?

Lauzun : —I see people talked about found family.

Nagyunn : Oh no.

Lauzun : They talked about that Eastern General to be your uncle or dad. A disappointed one, though.

Nagyunn :

Lauzun : And sometimes Fadiyan the mom.

Nagyunn : That would be horrible.

Jiroon, somewhere in the background : Not to fanfic writers.

Nagyunn : What?

Lauzun : But this one was reaaaally famous.

Nagyunn : I honestly worried and terrified at the four amount of 'a' you use in really.

Nagyunn : Don't say it.

Lauzun : The one that captured the most hearts and won the title of the best wholesomeness.

Nagyunn : Please, don't.

Lauzun : Although it could be rather toxic to some people as they believed that he manipulated you to stay in the knight forces.

Nagyunn : *horrified and offended of psychological manipulation*

Lauzun : Let me introduce to you...

Nagyunn : No.

Jiroon : Yes.

Lauzun : The best platonic relationship the whole time in TEK, you and Qilin as brothers!

Nagyunn : *horrified graggles*

Jiroon nodded approvingly : My early death wasn't so bad after all.

Quaring : Please don't say that.

Tourisun : Please.

Zuis : ...what?

Lauzun : Sometimes, the real treasure in this journey is the family and friends you made along.

Nagyunn : No—

Lauzun : Wether you like it or not.

Nagyunn : ... no, please.

Lauzun : The comment section says otherwise.

Nagyunn :

-----

Myusa : Why is nobody talking about my death?

Tyr : Ignoring is better than facing it.

Tyr : Plus, you traumatised Wild Dog enough.

Fidorance, looming at the background : *eyes wide with sorrow and regrets*

Myusa :

Jiroon : I guess Marsha and Toorisun are the only survivors from our town, huh?

Jiroon : Wonder what they'll tell our parents.

Toorisun : Jiroon, please—

------

*Camera pans to Nagyunn, who is hugging a knitted doll of Najin*

Yong : Huh.

Yong : My bet this comes from the self-blame, self-hate, the guilts, the continuous manipulation to save yourself and the people you slowly start to care about, the not enough time for proper mourning and self-heal as you've trap yourself in the ideal of vengeance and the possibility of war in the horizon.

Yong : Hopefully, this hiatus let you rest enough.

Nagyunn : ....

Yong : But it could never heal you and let you grow up properly— HEY!! *getting kicks and punches from Qilin and Fadiyan*

Zuis : Shut. Up.

-----

Nagyunn :

Nagyunn :

Nagyunn : *grips on Najin doll tighter*

Yong : Nagyunn, it's time for you to say please read the book on Webtoon and enjoy—

Fadiyan punches him : Yeah, yeah, go away.

Lol. This is supposed to be funny shorts about Waron, surprised that she was acknowledged as a comfort character. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm just imagining how Waron reacts if she knows about it.
