“Ugh!” Blood spurted from Abel’s thigh like a fountain. He stumbled backward and collapsed. The bald man grinned and stepped toward Abel, raising his arm to strike. But just then, an axe flew through the air with a heavy whooshing sound and embedded itself deep in the bald man’s back. It was Lestel. The bald man coughed up blood and staggered, turning around. “Gale and Max… went down that easily…?” His eyes widened in disbelief as he muttered the names of the ones Lestel had…- 264.3 K • Completed
- “Human hunter? Are you saying someone’s hunting people?” Sharhan’s brows drew together in a scowl. “This is the first time I’ve run into one myself, but I heard Delos’s men have been taking survivors. And they call the ones who do that hunters.” “What? Is that really true?” “Yeah. Word is, they take them to use for their own entertainment.” “Fucking bastards.” Beside the cursing Sharhan, Derry blinked in disbelief. He looked like he couldn’t fully accept…

- “It’s an arrow!” Sharhan instinctively pulled Lestel with him and ducked behind the nearby carriage. Abel quickly dragged Derry over as well. The four of them used the large black carriage as a shield and tried to assess the situation. ‘Where’s it coming from?’ The familiar sound of a bowstring slicing the air, one he’d heard countless times on the battlefield, had them diving for cover before they could even identify the archer’s location. If the attacker had the high ground, then…

- Sharhan could clearly feel the desire in Lestel’s gaze. The desire to be inside him but still, he asked just to be sure. “Of course.” The answer was exactly what he’d expected. ‘What the hell is “of course”? That shameless bastard.’ While Sharhan was struggling to catch his breath in disbelief, Lestel resumed trailing his lewd gaze over his stomach. That wasn’t enough, he even reached out and touched just above Sharhan’s navel, murmuring, “Feels like I could go in all the…

- At the sound of that voice, Sharhan finally snapped out of it and lifted his head. Lestel was slowly raising his upper body. The moment he clearly saw the cloudy semen smeared on Lestel’s chin and lower lip, Sharhan flushed red. Seeing that made the reality hit him, he’d come in Lestel’s mouth. His ears burned red as the heat climbed all the way up. His heart raced wildly, whether from embarrassment, shame, or something else he couldn’t name. Once fully upright, Lestel slowly extended his red…

- Startled by Lestel’s sudden action, Sharhan froze in place for a moment before he began to struggle. But the more he tried to escape, the harder Lestel pinned him down. The grip was so tight it hurt. “Are you insane?! Fuck, let go of me!” Sharhan, furious, tried to shove Lestel’s hand away, but it was no use. “Shan, honey. You didn’t sleep with that Ras guy, did you?” “You crazy bastard! I said let go! If you let go now, I swear, I won’t kill you.” That was a lie. The…

- “They filthy bastards are in Verden?!” “Filthy Crotches” was actually a nickname Sharhan had come up with. Their real name was Savage Hawks a second rank mercenary group. Like the Red Wolves, they had been employed by the Marquis of Valmon, but contrary to their fierce and dignified name, they were vile and despicable scum. They were always the first to swarm when sex workers arrived, and they were known to abduct smaller, prettier mercenaries to rape. They’d start fights over…

- “Sharhan?” Hearing his name, Abel looked up, saw his face, and finally recognized him. His expression lit up with joy. A smile spread across Sharhan’s face too. He had never expected to run into someone he knew right after arriving in Verden, let alone in a tavern they’d entered just to spend the night. “Abel! You’re alive!” “Sharhan! You made it too!” Abel reached out with a loud laugh, about to hug Sharhan, but froze when he felt the axe blade still pressed against his neck.…

- The area near the barrier entrance was silent. Sharhan checked the inside of the carriage and listened closely for any sign of movement, but there was no sign of people. The moving corpses were nowhere to be seen either. “So quiet. This city never turned off its lights, day or night.” As befitting its name as a city of pleasure, Verden had been filled with every form of entertainment. Gambling, drinking, auctions, taverns, underground fighting rings, and countless sex workers. Where there were…

- Chapter 5: Back to Verden The barricaded entrance to Verden was a complete mess. Both the inside and outside of the gate were crammed with abandoned carriages. The wall was so thoroughly soaked and dried with blood that its original color couldn’t even be seen. Rotten corpses, stripped down to white bone, were scattered everywhere. When the chaos had broken out in the city, people must have lost their minds and rushed the exit all at once, not realizing the outside was just as much hell. It was…
