“The hero can stay here. This person's room is...” “Viviana, are you free tonight?” At my question, Viviana's eyes widened. She seemed flustered. However, the surprise that appeared on Viviana's face soon turned into displeasure. It was as Viviana frowned and moved her lips to retort something. “Ha.” I heard Yul's laughter from above my head. Huh? Yul laughed? I snapped my head up, and the scruff of my neck was grabbed. I was lifted like a piece of clothing on a…- 127.4 K • Ongoing
- "...Just a little taste." Igor's lips moved as if he were mumbling. The Margrave, as if frustrated with Igor, slammed the spoon he was holding down on the table. Clang. "Tasted what, you say? What are you talking about? I haven't heard that you ate anything separately before luncheon." "..." "Hah, let's talk about this later." As the Margrave let out a sigh, Igor slowly raked his gaze over his father from head to toe. Like a satiated predator looking at its prey. But the Margrave probably…

- So Igor caught and ate one of the stable hands who worked in the household. The reason was simple. It was because the stable hand smelled delicious. His position as the heir was convenient. He lied to his father, Margrave Javier, saying that the stable hand had stolen some jewelry and run away. The Margrave believed the words of his heir, Igor, without a doubt. Igor buried the treasure the stable hand was supposed to have stolen along with the bones, which had not a single scrap of flesh left on them,…

- The Margrave responded to my muttering. With a hand as hard as stone, the Margrave carefully swept the wall on which a dragon was painted. There, a picture was drawn of a dragon with a golden body, spreading its massive wings and creating wind. I rolled my eyes and looked at the next picture. A dragon spreading its wings majestically in a lightning-filled sky, a dragon causing an earthquake by stomping its foot, a dragon breathing volcano-like fire from its mouth. My great appearance was well drawn,…

- "He's still not here?" I furrowed my brow deeply. How dare a human, no, a future monster that has given up on being human, make the great me wait. Just as I was thinking I would make him regret it the moment he arrived, I suddenly heard a 'whoosh' from behind. A sound like a blunt weapon being swung down from above. Huh? I swiftly caught the thing being swung at my head. The feel of metal was heavy. It was blunt, but it was clearly a weapon. When I whirled around, there was Igor, dripping…

- Crossing into the Eastern Continent, the empire's enemy nation, was not as difficult as I had thought. No, it was beyond not being difficult. The people of the Eastern Continent welcomed us from the moment we reached the border. "Black hair and black eyes, you must be the hero!" "The hero has finally come." It was a little surprising to see the humans, who seemed moved just by facing Yul. The people of the empire didn't seem to recognize the existence of a 'hero' very well, perhaps because they…

- I stroked Fleabag, who had stealthily come out under the cover of night, with my finger. Fleabag, seeming to enjoy my touch, narrowed his eyes and wagged his tail gently. “Aaargh!” Just then, a sound that broke the silence of the night rang out. Fleabag and I simultaneously looked out the window. Not far away, a terrible shape was visible. “Master, that’s a monster...!” “Shh.” I quickly covered Fleabag’s mouth with my finger. Fleabag, revealing his two front teeth, blinked…

- ...Yul probably doesn't want to run into me. I hesitantly rolled my eyes before sitting back down on the roof. Fleabag gripped my finger with his small hand as if to comfort me. “Hero!” “Hero!” The humans, who had increased one by one, soon rushed toward Yul as a crowd. “This child was born just a month ago. Please give him a name, hero!” “My wife became unable to use her legs after a monster attack not long ago. But since last night, she’s been singing about how she wants to…

- Fleabag, who had been silent for a moment, let out a loud, fake cough. His voice, which sounded somehow pleased, seemed to be tinged with a sense of triumph. I kept my back turned to Yul until a villager brought us our meal, saying it was morning. Because I didn't want to make Yul uncomfortable. But I couldn't very well keep my back to him while eating. In the end, we sat facing each other at the table placed in the middle of the lodging. “...” “...” But only silence lingered…

- “Yul, are you breathing okay? You don't feel nauseous or dizzy, do you?” “What nonsense is that.” “If there's poison in the smoke, it will hurt, so that's why I asked.” “It doesn't hurt.” Yul answered curtly and turned his head away. I felt a needless anxiety because I couldn't see his face in the hazy smoke. It felt like Yul might disappear somewhere. I unconsciously grabbed Yul's fingers. Yul looked at me again. “Wh-what is this!” “Find the hero! Quickly!” I…
