CHAPTERS
“…….” “…….” Their hearts pounded in sync as they held each other so tightly not even a thread of air could pass between them, and that embrace soon turned into a kiss. It no longer mattered who had started it, they had both opened their mouths at nearly the same moment. Their tongues tangled violently. Lestel grabbed Sharhan’s waist and pulled him closer, trying desperately to push his tongue even deeper. When Sharhan tilted his head back and opened wider, the tongue slid in so…- 264.3 K • Completed
- He had sworn to catch them and return every ounce of the humiliation, frustration, and despair he had endured today – but in the end, he failed to keep that promise. No one knew exactly when they had fled, but in the chaos of the battle, Delos had slipped away with a few of his closest aides like a rat. “Yuel, that bastard Delos ran off like a rat.” The woman wielding the greatsword spoke in frustration. Sharhan didn’t know who she was, but it was clear she bore her own grudge against…

- “Shit, that hurts like hell. Derry, are you okay?” Sharhan, who had tumbled across the ground after a bad landing, winced from the throbbing pain as he asked. “I-I’m okay.” His voice was clearly pained to anyone listening, but there was no time to worry about injuries. The moving corpses, drawn by the sound of the jump, turned toward them with bloodshot eyes. “Then get up, quick.” Sharhan fought off the approaching undead, mouth wide open in exertion, as he made his way toward…

- “Shan….” Lestel took a step forward in relief at the sight of Sharhan unharmed. “What are you doing?!” Someone screamed and yanked Lestel back by the shoulder. Staggering from the force, Lestel finally looked around. Panic-stricken screams echoed from every direction, and from across the arena, ravenous predators were barreling toward them, saliva dripping from their jaws. He and the others were trapped in a circular coliseum. “What is this?!” Lestel’s question was answered…

- It had already been hundreds of years since the fall of the ancient empire. About a hundred years ago, the emperor of the time officially announced that all the monsters sealed in Luhas were dead. The citizens of the empire, who had secretly feared the monsters might break free one day, rejoiced. “It was the Lord of Luhas who made the report that the monsters were all dead. The imperial family never actually sent anyone to confirm it.” “You’re saying the Lord of Luhas might have…

- “D-did he… die?” Derry, who had followed behind, asked carefully when he saw the grief on Sharhan’s face. Sharhan didn’t answer, only gave a small nod. Derry’s face fell as he hurriedly checked under John’s nose for breath. “I thought he might survive with proper treatment…” Though it was only for a short time, Derry had personally squeezed herbs and fed them to John. His voice trembled with sorrow. Sharhan felt heavy too. Strictly speaking, John had nothing to do with him. But…

- “P-please… spare me…” “Answer me first! The silver-haired one, where is he? Is he dead?!” Roman’s face turned pale from lack of air. His eyes were rolling back. “I… I can’t breathe…” Just before he passed out, Sharhan slightly eased the pressure around his neck. Roman gasped, mouth open wide, drawing in ragged breaths. But Sharhan didn’t intend to let him recover fully. He squeezed again, then gave him just enough air to keep talking. “I’ll ask one last time.…

- Sharhan and Derry looked at each other in alarm. Derry, in particular, had gone deathly pale and was fumbling in a panic. Step, step. The sound of multiple footsteps drew nearer. Sharhan’s heart pounded in his chest, and his lips went dry. “Wh-what do we do?” “Lie down like we’re still tied up, hands behind your back.” Sharhan made a quick decision. He grabbed the rope from the floor, hid it against his body, and lay down so that only his bound wrists were visible. Derry quickly…

- The stench was overwhelming. He could smell the metallic tang of blood, and faint groans reached his ears. Sharhan struggled to stay conscious, but his body wouldn’t obey. His eyelids felt like they had stones placed on them, and his limbs were bound tight as if chained in place. His head was foggy, as though wrapped in mist. “……!” After a long effort, he finally managed to lift his eyelids, but his mind was still hazy. Blinking slowly, he tried to make sense of the situation, even in his…

- As soon as he saw Lestel, the employee named John teared up and lowered his head, unable to hold himself upright. “I’m John. I used to work under Lord Simon. You probably don’t remember me, my lord, but I was falsely accused at the place where I worked and got kicked out. I was getting beaten up on the streets when you saved me.” Lestel nodded as the memory came back to him. That had indeed happened. He had rescued a man who was being badly beaten and brought him back to treat his wounds.…
