This prob should be renamed to a X.5, since its an "Extra", that throws off the other numbering

Manga worlds: Be slightly nice and you'll gain the f'ng MIGHT OF God.
Our world: "Without hope. Without witness. Without reward."
Also can this series please find more organic ways of doing exposition? Reading it from a book the MC just happened to pick up because... reasons (it's not even a blacksmith book as far as I can tell) is about as bad as doing a Google search. I get the implication that this is the first child of the two gods capable of birth, but like did we even need that here? I'd have been happy with just the POV story of their meeting. Then let us discover the mythos of the world and identity of the creature together with the cast as the world develops. Have that actually feels like an important reveal. This just felt like a boring bedtime story.

That story about the male and female primordial gods are very similar to how Izanagi and Izanami's (creation gods of the Japanese Shinto) fate turned out.
Izanami's life force got used up and she became something like a corrupted deity and descended to the Mato (like the place in Mato Seihei no Slave manga).
Also, the term 'Black Moff' used to name the Chigir Mole was originally written as 黒モフ (Kuro-Mofu) in the raws, which if manhwafreak back then studied better and did not rely too much on MTL, they would translate this to 'Black Fluff' instead, or better yet just leave it as 'Kuromofu' (mofu is derived from the japanese onomatopeia 'mofu mofu' which is used to describe fluffy things like animal fur)
Another thing: the Chigir Mole in the raws was originally written as チギラモグラ (chigira mogura). Mogura is the japanese word for the animal mole, and the word chigira is probably derived from the word/verb 'chigiru' which can mean 'to tear to pieces/shreds', depending on the kanji.
