CHAPTERS
Inside the Montaine Castle’s walls stood the main building, connected to four cylindrical towers. The tops of each tower were covered with dark, conical tiled roofs, completing the gray castle. Perhaps that was why the flag hanging from the tip of the spire caught my eye. It featured a flame in the center,…- 316.7 K • Ongoing
- Non-human beings may seem free, but I suspect that freedom stems from their acknowledgment of a superior power. Ever since I received a gift from the Spirit of Poison, most non-human beings haven’t dared to come near me. They still were visible to me, they’d just retreated to a distance. But after I hung the serpent divine beast’s key around my neck, they vanished completely. Just like some kind of exorcism charm. The only ones this charm didn’t work on were the divine beasts. So, the…

- Mo couldn’t help, but bright moonlight came through the open terrace door. The light let me see the room obstacles a little. To move without sound, I had to avoid the furniture, so I mapped a path and then I went. Luckily the carpet on the floor cut the sound. Also I had the Penuang floorplan Doctor Kim gave me. “Search the second floor first. The show-offs meet privately on the second floor.” I followed Doctor Kim’s advice and went to the second floor. I slipped through a narrow secret…

- “Entry to the inner castle is prohibited without a special permit.” I read the notice posted in front of the gates of Montaine’s inner castle and thought, “We are screwed.” At the same time, I briefly held onto the hope that I might be able to wriggle my way in using the pass I held in my hand. But that hope vanished as quickly as a soap bubble bursting. “No, I definitely got in just fine…

- The warehouse door shattered with a loud crash, but fortunately, no chase ensued. It was a secluded spot, and a bigger warehouse nearby blocked the sound from spreading. In other words, it was a place where even a loud noise wouldn’t risk drawing attention. Then again, they probably wouldn’t have set up a portal for a raid just anywhere. That must mean the person who created the portal was aware of this. I couldn’t help but look askance at the man slowly walking out from behind me. “It’s…

- … …Did I raise him too harshly without realizing it? In an attempt to maintain objectivity, I ended up taking a hard blow to the pit of my stomach. It sometimes feels like he’s scolding me. Feeling a little hurt, I watched the door in front of me open. Through the widening gap, Tairok’s golden eyes,…

- Where were they going? As Hoiya was dragged along by Kilu, only this single question floated around in his mind. But the question was submerged in a sea of terror, making it difficult to voice aloud. Even though not a single word resembling a threat had ever come out of Kilu’s mouth, he was so consumed by fear…

- A castle shrouded in fog. Though it might look like natural morning fog, to my eyes it now looked as nothing more than a shackle. That symbol of the curse had become a goal that Tairok strived to achieve, and now it had become my goal as well. It wasn’t not just that lifting the curse would revive Kun’s divine beast and close the Eye of Hell. I don’t know when it had happened, but I must have been influenced by Tubain. I wanted to do at least one good thing for this place. Like lifting that…

- Grand Duke Montaine looked at the letter with such a blank expression that it was impossible to read her emotions. Hoiga waited patiently, holding back his anger until she spoke first. He could have incurred her wrath for being insolent if he had unnecessarily added his two cents. She might even have turned violent out of rage. After all, it must have been that shocking an event for Grand Duke Montaine. However, a moment later, Grand Duke Montaine did something completely unexpected. Riiip. She…

- Tap, tap. The sound of footsteps echoed through the interior every time I descended the stone stairs leading underground. The spiral staircase was narrow and dark, so we didn't move fast, but this made it easy to converse with my companion. "It has been confirmed that Hoiga secretly slipped out of the Montaine mansion. However, he took a carriage to an illegal guild and used a portal. We couldn't verify the destination, but he appeared at the expected location: Montaine Castle." Solongo, ever…
