Time passed slowly. Only the physical changes felt like a storm. My body grew visibly day by day. My stiff wings softened and gained elasticity. Flap! I began moving between the branches of tall trees. What had been mere flapping soon transformed into soaring. Just as one doesn't ask parents how to use hands and feet, the wings cast into the sky naturally fulfilled their purpose. Once I could fly, my range of activity expanded dramatically. I learned there were two lakes nearby, one…- 171.8 K • Completed
- A week had passed since we got trapped in the cavern. Every escape attempt I'd tried had failed. In the end, I even tried transforming into a dragon to dig through the earth, but before a day had passed, the tunnel had restored itself, and I reverted back to human form. I scratched my chest again, but the artifact didn't activate. I grew serious. I vaguely sensed some immense power or presence entangled within this space, but... I have no idea what it wants. ...It couldn't possibly want me to…

- Tap, tap. I'd considered the possibility of tunnels branching out in all directions like an ant hill. Surprisingly, the interior wasn't very deep. About 5 meters in, the space widened, and that was the end of it. There was a miniature version of the tree I'd seen in the plaza in the corner. Vines sprouting from it also served as light bulbs. It was an armory. All kinds of blades were lined up. Swords, spears... That one looks like a Green Dragon Crescent Blade1. What's that? What is it?…

- Fortunately, Odan's explanation quickly moved on. "Their intended method was drowning. If successful, it would have been a surefire way. Winged monsters... no matter how powerful a Kremlis might be... they can't swim." Kaelus was his usual self. He spoke in a voice lowered just enough that one had to concentrate to notice. "...Among the treasures passed down through the imperial family for generations is Julan's heart. It's said Julan personally gave it to the next emperor after the founding…

- It was fine. I was already familiar with failed love. ……After my parents passed away, I went through what you might call a long period of wandering. I quit swimming and school altogether. After spending a year that felt like my memory had flown away, I came to my senses and realized I was already well past twenty. I was still stuck in the past, in that momentary guilt. Everything except me treated me as an adult. I readily accepted it. I worked part-time during the day and drifted…

- Meanwhile, among the people clapping and stamping their feet. A soldier who kept eight cats and spent most of his pay on them felt a familiar sense of déjà vu. "Hmm...?" His eyes, which had been shifting between the tyurel and the dragon, sparkled, then took on a boyish mischief. He hurriedly left his seat and returned holding a broken mirror shard from somewhere. The soldier smiled meaningfully and tilted the mirror to reflect the sunlight. The white dot, aimed at the pick playing tyurel,…

- "We cannot overcome this Monster Wave using the same method as before." The previous method meant that the Pensilta dragons hunted 70% of the monsters, while the subjugation force hunted the remaining 30% that were either injured or barely clinging to life. “Since the Monster Wave has changed, our strategy must change too. The moment has come for the subjugation force to do their part. It’s unfortunate, but it can’t be helped. ......So, shouldn't we also do everything we possibly…

- “Ah…… that’s because I didn’t introduce myself.” “..…..” When I tried to introduce my name, I remembered Kaelus showing up in a rage, and how he left me and Nitahn behind and ran off on his own. "Ow. Ouch. It hurts......" Grr! "Say it with words. I gave you back the translator......." "It's Odan." ......Huh? Since saying “ a kid I knew” sounded distant, I just called him a friend. I said it like it was interesting, but the mage was…

- Kaelus limped urgently across the outdoor corridor. Nitan tried to stop him once more, supporting Kaelus, but he paid no heed. ‘…He’s injured.’ While he was receiving treatment and passed out. The Kremlis was hurt. They said he’d been fighting off a wave of monsters alone and suffered severe injuries. Kaelus clenched his teeth without realizing it. Nitan kept glancing at his superior's tense jaw. His limping stride quickened further. All the way to the Kremlis, the duke's…

- Crash! Grrr! Kyaaah! It was nothing short of a disaster. The ground caved in under the furious swings of his forelimbs. Monsters struck by his heavy tail flew into the air and exploded. Grrrrr! The three-eyed giants who had hurled the trees approached. Their bodies trembled like aspen leaves. Yet, as if pushed by an invisible hand, they threw themselves at Yuram. Yuram snorted derisively and opened his mouth wide toward the giants. Crack! A crackling sound erupted from his gaping…
