Chapter 87
The first floor of the Core was home to three mythical creatures—Entusha, which took the form of a unicorn, and Laikar, resembling a whale. However, the last mythical creature remained a mystery, with no one among the adventurers having seen it.

[Nallanium]
Category: Miscellaneous/Herbs
Description: An herb commonly found on the first floor of the Core. Its most distinguishing feature is the curled tip of its leaves, which form a question mark shape. When crushed and applied to wounds, it acts as both a disinfectant and a coagulant. Be careful not to confuse it with the poisonous Tyren, which looks similar.
Do-Jun was using Interpreter—Ataraxia to gather information about the first floor of the Core and input it into the Fissure Management System. He was preparing in advance since Behemoth Guild was likely to clear the final stage of the tutorial and descend to the first floor next month.
He tore off a sprig of Nallanium and chewed it to see if it could be used as a substitute for potions. A bitter taste quickly spread from his tongue to his nose. While it did seem to have a slight healing effect, the taste was so awful that it wasn’t worth eating.
“Hey, mistah.” A voice came from behind.
Do-Jun turned to see where it came from. It was a little girl, about three years old, wearing a light tunic that fluttered down to her knees.
“You no eat that,” she said.
Do-Jun nodded in agreement. Though the herb wasn’t something one absolutely couldn’t eat, the taste was quite awful.
