‘…….’ I glanced down the hallway. The sunset had already vanished. A deep blue evening hung like a curtain, obscuring the far end of the corridor. My hesitation was brief. I jumped up and grabbed the doorknob. Click. I squeezed through the narrow gap of the open door and slipped inside. Thick curtains hung, plunging the room into darkness. Without my beastly eyes, I would have seen nothing. …Musty. The peculiar, musty smell of dust from a long-abandoned place mingled with…- 171.8 K • Completed
Robert lightly stepped over the window sill and landed on the cool stone floor inside the tower. He immediately placed his hands on the wall and began etching intricate runes. "It's quiet. I expected it, but... it seems they were fully prepared and waiting for us." Zed and Harto followed him inside, and Robert withdrew his hand from the wall. The carefully drawn magic circle immediately lost its light and vanished without a trace. "This is..." "The entire tower is controlled by immense magical…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
- Thud. For a moment, Harto felt his heart drop. When he tried to read calmly, the elementals seemed to notice and stared at him while their pupils rolling around. "Wh-why are you suddenly talking about Hartiros?" Harto steadied his trembling voice and answered as nonchalantly as possible. "Just... because he's the most famous. That's why I asked. No other meaning." "Ah... I see..." At Zed's nonchalant attitude, Harto cleared his throat loudly, trying to calm his racing…

“What letter?” “The one you sent along with your hair.” “Ah, that…” “You don’t have to answer if it’s hard to talk about.” When Yudit hesitated, Shane cut him off, as if the question was pointless. In truth, there was no reason he couldn’t answer. It just felt a bit awkward to admit it had been a crude form of threat. “It’s nothing much. Just…” Yudit had just started to speak when the sound of galloping hooves echoed from afar. At least fifty riders. His…- 396.9 K • Completed
With solemn expressions, the exploration team had set out, but they returned only half a day later, empty-handed. “This is strange. It’s too quiet.” All they could see around them were sheer cliffs, mountains, snowdrifts, and heavy, dark clouds. At first, the absence of monsters had been a relief. But as the hours passed without encountering a single thing, the silence began to feel ominous. “There’s just too much snow to find any traces.” The unrelenting blizzard seemed…- 289.6 K • Completed
- The very next day after the birthday celebration ended, at dawn. The Denos delegation departed the imperial palace. With the agreement concluded, there was no reason to linger further. The emperor did not even offer polite encouragement to stay longer, and Valita likewise did not utter even a hollow “I wish I could stay longer, but it's a pity.” On the road to the port by carriage. Valita was lost in thought. The emperor's reaction had been more calm than he had…

“If Ma Hoiga still hasn't arrived after ten minutes, you must leave immediately." Enya, who had followed me into the reception room, said in a firm voice. I glanced back at her standing behind me. "He'll come." I understood her concern. Tairok had left to attack Sarne, the entire Tubain could soon become a…- 305.8 K • Ongoing
But contrary to Yohan’s worries, the nameless headmaster didn’t dump the cleanup work on the students. He simply snapped his fingers and stopped the time of the entire building. The time of the building itself. The flames that had been consuming it froze in place, still glowing but motionless. The collapsing structure, caught mid-fall, stopped with debris suspended in midair. In an instant, the flow of time around the building had halted, and Yohan’s eyes widened. “…Is that even…- 282.1 K • Ongoing
- “I heard you haven’t eaten in a while. Is the food not to your liking?” Kilu’s voice, heard for the first time in several days, was as gentle as ever. As he spoke, he set a tray with an elegant plate down in front of Hoiga. It was a kind gesture, but Hoiga stared down at the plate with a pale face.…

A cloud cast shadows over the mountains and river. The river water reflected the ash-gray sky, the great mountain, and the ferry boat as clearly as a well-polished mirror. It was a warm day for winter. Silver yawned as he rowed. Across the way, Wolf and Red Eagle were chattering. Silver looked up at the sky. Judging by the sun's position, it would be dusk soon. "Haaaaam." Silver yawned again and frowned. For some reason, ever since waking up, the taste of blood lingered in his…- 119.9 K • Ongoing
