Suicidal Dragon: So You're Raising a Warrior

Jeon Hoyun/ Jeon Segi - So You're Raising a Warrior

Because a Demon Lord invaded the human realm, the six gods granted humans a blessing of a once-in-a-century warrior and an array of holy weapons. Most fantasy stories follow this pattern. These stories center around a hero who faces a demon lord, and the demon lord dies, and sometimes his lackey proves to be the real villain. The world is saved as a result. But what happens if the hero dies mid-way? Who will take his place and defeat the Demon Lord?

This is a story about a Dragon, and a Warrior. The first milestone the heroes must defeat is named Ell. He's been awaiting for the hero's arrival for seven years. Bored out of his mind waiting forever, he decided to order pizza from Gorgon Pizza. He doesn't realize that today will be the day he battles the Hero.

Having crossed the first gate of the weakest of the stronger monsters, our heroes, consisting of a warrior, thief, and monk, fight Ell, the first of the four demon generals. They see Ell and prepare to battle. Ell sees that the Hero is defenceless, but he thinks it's a ruse to make Ell defenceless, so he decides to block the Hero's attack with full strength. With one counter block, Ell realizes that the hero is incredibly weak.

On closer inspection of the sword, I noticed the hilt only had 1 bar out of 5 on it that was red, so would that be a power boost in the future for a warrior?

During the remainder of the fight, the heroes were humiliated, and I laughed uncontrollably. The Hero was so weak that Ell accidently kills the Hero. Then The Hero's blade landed into a tree and critically injured the Thief. The remaining heroes are shocked at how quickly Ell killed the Hero, but they don't realize that Ell didn't even mean to kill the hero at all. Instead, he needs to die to the hero so that the Demon Lord will give him his pension and retirement fund. The Demon Lord wants to fight someone extremely strong, and awaits the day that he can fight someone as powerful as himself.

The Thief named Jack tries to throw a poison dagger at Ell, but misses the shot and kills the monk. Jack thinks that Ell did a crafty trick, but he was just standing there. The only person alive is Lafi. Surprised how quickly everyone died Ell desperately tries to save the Hero. His dragon talons rip through the Hero's body, damaging the Hero's organs and even causing his soul to fly away. It is impossible to resurrect the hero

Lafi starts bowing down to Ell to spare her life. Ell wasn't going to let Lafi live until she screams "I'm pregnant!!! I'm with a child!!! So please... Let me live for the sake of the child!" He comes up with a plan to get his pension if he raises a child to become a warrior and asks Lafi to let him raise her child. The tension of the events has shifted dramatically. Lafi has a bargaining chip that could save her life.

As they eat Gorgon Pizza, they discuss raising the child. Despite being the monster that killed her child's father, Ell asks Lafi to raise her child, but Lafi refuses. When Ell realizes that the child is the Warrior's baby, he becomes even more desperate. He decides to say that he wants the child to save the human realm to save pizza and a few other things. In order to ensure that her child will be in good hands, Lafi inquires if everything the Warrior will do will be forced upon her child. This is an unsafe idea to her and she thinks Ell wants her child to die in order to defeat the Demon Lord, whose sacrifice will be forgotten by everyone, otherwise called a warrior that can kill Ell.

Ell's words are questioned by Lafi, who tests Ell's concern for the child. Because she doesn't know who to trust, she says she will kill herself and the baby. It was the result of a one-night stand. After learning that she was pregnant, all the other heroes turned their backs on her in favor of their "personal goals". Rather than be chained down by a child, the warrior pursued greatness. Jack preferred 2d girls over helping Lafi. After saying "Good Luck Lafi," the useless monk walked away from her. The most likely person to help Lafi raise a child is Ell if nothing else. In his desperate attempt to raise the child, Ell says he will do anything to keep the child alive. He doesn't realize what Anything means to Lafi.

Lafi, who was an average freelancing magician withstanding all kinds of trials and tribulations, knew that anything gives her the upperhand in negotiation skills. She puts a contract in front of Ell. If Ell wants custody of the child, he will need to sign the contract. Ell just wanted to raise the child as a mentor or a teacher, but Lafi wants Ell to take some responsaiility in raising the child alongside her. Lafi angrily asks "While I'll have to deal with taking care and educating the child.. and doing all the housework, while trying to make a living... You were going to wave your spear around a few times... and then tell everyone that You're his mentor and that you practically raised him?!! That's what you were thinking, weren't you? Do none of the work, get all the glory!"

Ell, angered that his resolve is doubted signs the contract out of spite. As soon as he signed the contract, he realized that it was for familiars. Allowing Lafi to control Ell, however she deemed fit. An insurance policy of sorts to make sure Ell does joint labor and doesn't harm her child. Few months later, Ell, master of the spear, the gatekeeper of Hell, has now become an expert at changing diapers.

Ell has become a nanny to Lafi's Son Dino.. Ell's first task from Lafi is to trim his talons. In addition to destroying the Hero's body, they can harm children even more. The nerves in Ell's nails make this really painful. Additionally, Ell must get up every time Dino cries. Raising a warrior is not easy, especially when Dino's mother, Lafi, is trying to prevent him from becoming one.

As a mother, Lafi has been forced to issue a command that Ell can not say kill anymore and to take care of the child the most. As if she were raising two children instead of just one, Lafi feels overwhelmed. The expenses that they could save for a rainy day have been reduced. Ell thinks the problem is that baby formulas are too expensive, but Lafi implies that Ell eats too much. She explains that she needs to get a job because they only have enough money for 1 more week.

So You're Raising a Warrior looks to be an extremely funny comic. I look forward to reading more chapters. I'm curious to see how Ell and Lafi will parent Dino. I'm eager to see where this parody goes.
