by Nilu — "Zed, are you awake?" As he slowly opened his eyes, Leon’s worried face came into view. "How do you feel?" Allen suddenly leaned in and asked. He looked just as worried as Leon. "Very..." Zed blinked a few times before speaking again. "I think I was having a very pleasant dream..." Seeing Zed mutter with a peaceful face, Leon and Allen both sighed. They tapped each other on the shoulder, looking relieved that Zed was fine. The fact that he was safe was their greatest…

by Nilu — That night, Harto once again had a dream similar to the one before. A hospital room with the blinds drawn over the window, pure white walls, and a bed. And a small butterfly glowing white was perched on the back of Harto’s hand, softly fluttering its wings. ‘That butterfly I saw back then…’ Just looking at it made him feel better. He was so happy to see it that Harto stayed completely still, afraid it might disappear if he moved even a little. As if it understood his feelings, the…

by Nilu — “Ares!” Zed stopped at the end of the hallway while carrying the sleeping Harto toward the annex. He turned to see Isadora running toward him, gasping for breath. “Isadora….” Zed muttered. He was surprised by how much more mature she looked compared to three years ago, but a natural smile appeared on his face from the joy of seeing her. “Oh my…. Is that Harto in your arms? He is sleeping soundly.” Isadora reached Zed in an instant. She wanted to hug him, but stopped herself…

by Nilu — The next morning, Zed and Harto finished a light meal and went straight to see Isadora. She had been deep in a serious discussion with Zed regarding his missing holy power. She decided it was best for him to see for himself and pulled a wooden box from beneath the table. Click. "This is..." Zed’s eyes widened as the latch released and the lid opened. "Yes, a Resonance Stone," Isadora replied, showing him the contents. On top of a bed of red velvet was a rough, grey stone. ‘Wait. Isn't…

by Nilu — …Boom! “Wh-what’s happening…!” The heads of the knights and Ser in the underground dungeon all turned upward when they heard the deafening sound that felt like the sky were falling. “N-no way it’s collapsing…?” A terrified knight murmured in a trembling voice, and anxious gazes all turned to Ser. Ser was standing before the prison cell where Prince Damien was imprisoned, he concentrated as he deciphered and dismantled each intricate spell embedded within the magic stone. As…

by Nilu — “Harto…Harto….” Each time Zed called his name, his lips would descend on various parts of Harto's face. He would shower his lips with kisses, scattering them over his round, smooth forehead, his tear-streaked eyelashes, his flushed cheeks, and the bridge of his nose. The kiss, which was a mixture of affection and longing for Harto, was so heartbreaking that it made his heart ache. “Zed….” Harto held his trembling breath while looking at him. His blue eyes, brimming with tears…

by Nilu — Thud. Zed broke the silence and set the luggage he was carrying on the floor. The Seeker had already taken a seat in the room. His eyes sparkled as if he could see exactly what was inside the bag. ‘I would prefer to speak in private. It will be much more comfortable for you as well.’ The proposal the Seeker had made before they entered the room lingered in Zed’s mind. He couldn't help but think that the man knew something. He felt uneasy, but he could not corner the other person without…

by Nilu — Saela, a village nestled at the southern edge of the desert, exuded a completely different atmosphere from Hipora. Outside, sand dunes glittered like gold dust, but the scenery inside the village was entirely different. A small mountain covered with a dense forest stood at the center of the village, and the people lived by drawing drinking water from there and farming their fields. It was a very simple and peaceful village where everyone lived like neighbors. “The villagers helped us a lot while…

by Nilu — Damien instantly recognized Zed's face beneath the fake beard and mage disguise. "Damien..." Zed couldn't hide his shock at the sight of Damien. The state Damien was in before him was so pitiful it was almost unbearable to look at. A body reduced to skin and bones, sunken eye sockets, and the deep scars of torture etched across his entire body…. Zed’s heart sank, unable even to imagine the brutal time Damien must have endured here. Yet, on Damien's own face, there was no trace of emotion.…

by Nilu — ‘Wow… it’s so much more grand than how the novel described it….’ Right after he learned that this was Count Grenhardt family’s estate, Harto couldn’t close his mouth for a while. A few lines in a novel could never capture this massive scale and overwhelming atmosphere, so he could only stare in awe. “This place is safer than anywhere else. Except it’s so large that managing it gets difficult.” Isadora stepped down from the carriage and said to Harto, who was standing there…
