[ IsekaiMerchant author's corner ]
How's your day, my dear readers? IsekaiMerchant here!
You might be wondering what the purpose of this little corner is. Are you thinking this guy is trying to swindle us out of our hard-earned money?
Well, congratulations! You're not wrong. 😉
Kidding aside, I'm planning to use this corner for three purposes.
First, I want to express my gratitude to you (yes, you!) for reaching this part of my story, Livelihood Dungeon. I truly appreciate your support, and I hope for your continued support in the upcoming chapters. 🙇🏻♂️
Second, if possible, I'd love to hear your feedback on the story. ❤️
Last but not least, I'd like to know your thoughts on Ichiro's evolution. If you were the one given the choice, which type would you choose, or which do you think suits him best, and why?
Please comment down below!

[Ichiro's Possible Paths of Evolution]
Glacial Wolves
(Temperament)
- They regard the world with detached indifference, like a master observing lesser beings—emotionless, patient, and chilling to the core.
(Appearance and special features)
- Glacial Wolves are unremarkable in size, yet their presence carries an air of quiet nobility. They move with the poise of royalty, every step measured and deliberate.
- Their bodies gleam like polished crystal, their fur refracting light into faint, prismatic glints. Beneath that beauty lies an unforgiving chill, cold radiates from them like the breath of permafrost, frosting the ground with each step.
- Their most striking feature is their frost-laced coat, where strands of fur resemble fine ice filaments. In moments of tension, these harden into jagged, crystalline edges, turning their very bodies into natural weapons—sharp, unyielding, and lethal to the touch.
...
Infernal Wolves
(Temperament)
- Explosive by nature, they lash out without warning, their fury as sudden as it is devastating.
(Appearance and special features)
- Unremarkable in size, yet terrifying in presence, Infernal Wolves appear as living vessels of flame. Their fur does not merely resemble fire, it is fire, writhing and coiling across their bodies like a living inferno, never fading nor consuming them.
- Their most striking feature lies in their ever-burning coat, where tongues of flame shift in color from deep crimson to searing white, depending on their state. The ground beneath their paws blackens and cracks with each step, unable to withstand the constant heat they radiate.
- When threatened, the flames along their bodies surge violently, forming a blazing mantle that lashes outward like wild fire. From their jaws, they exhale concentrated bursts of searing breath, hot enough to incinerate anything caught within its path, leaving nothing but drifting ash in its wake.
...
Tempest Wolves
(Temperament)
- Their temperament mirrors a storm's fury, unpredictable, relentless, and quick to turn from silence into destruction.
(Appearance and special features)
- Tempest Wolves are smaller than ordinary wolves, standing only 2 to 2.5 feet tall. Despite their size, they carry an unsettling presence, like a storm compressed into a fragile frame.
- Their fur is a pale, cloudlike white, soft in appearance yet constantly shifting, as if stirred by an unseen wind. It ripples and sways even in still air, giving the impression that the creature is never truly at rest.
- Tail is its most dangerous feature. Long and plume-like, it resembles a trailing wisp of cloud. With a single flick, it can release razor-thin blades of wind capable of cleanly severing flesh. A broader sweep summons spiraling currents, forming violent gusts that can swell into a full-fledged tornado.
...
Terrestrial Wolves
(Temperament)
As the earth they embody, their temperament is resolute and enduring—calm and unmoving, until provoked, whereupon they become an unstoppable force of nature, their will unbending.
(Appearance and special features)
- Terrestrial Wolves are colossal creatures, towering at nearly two meters tall. Their sheer mass alone makes them resemble moving bulwarks rather than living beasts.
- Their bodies are encased in dense, earth-toned hide layered with coarse, stone-like fur. This natural armor is thick and compact, resembling packed soil fused with metal, capable of deflecting claws, fangs, and even heavy blows.
- Their most defining feature is their reinforced structure, broad shoulders, heavy limbs, and paws that strike with crushing force. With every step, the ground trembles slightly beneath them, and their bodies endure impacts that would shatter lesser creatures, making them walking fortresses on the battlefield.
