Hoiga’s eyes wavered, revealing his inner conflict. It was ridiculous. He must be desperate to live to show that side of himself right in front of me, someone he hated so much. Hoiga will never know what I wanted to see more than the misery of prison or his ugly rage toward me was precisely that look on his…- 305.8 K • Ongoing
- Tairok couldn’t help but laugh at my shameless request. The corners of his mouth turned up, and his eyes sparkled with delight. As if that wasn’t enough, he took my hand and kissed it again. “Gladly. I’ll treat you like royalty.” “No.” I shook my head immediately and quickly pulled my hand away. His flirtatious antics were one thing, but this confession was a fatal blow to me. As you…

- “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.…

- This pathetic fool. I was about to hurl insults at this pleading fetishist when another sound stopped me. “Cough!” The informant’s eyes opened. Then his chest heaved as he struggled to breathe. “Hey, are you alright?” “W-where am I? Cough, why am I in my house… cough!” “That’s…

- 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,…

- 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…

- “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…
