The Adeye residence was famous for having the tightest security in the land because the owner hired the best mercenaries from Tubain. No one could avoid a strict inspection, even if the temple sent them. “You’re here to see Priest Sidro?” The young assistant priest nodded. He looked nervous, and his hands shook slightly. This behavior felt strange to the guard, so he issued an order. “Show me the inside of that wooden box.” The assistant priest obeyed and opened the box. There was a…- 305.8 K • Ongoing
- "Head Butler, how's the matriarch?" Solongo lowered her voice and asked the butler, who had just emerged from the Adeye matriarch's room. Perhaps due to overexertion over the past few days, Lantuya had been lying in bed since noon that day. "She has a bit of a fever and her breathing is rough, but it doesn't seem like a situation for much concern." Ah, it's just like when she's normally tired. I shouldn't disturb her since she needs rest, right? She stared at the room door for a moment while…

- But I didn't expect a dark mage. Hoiga swallowed the words that threatened to come out as an excuse. It felt strange. He was using a dark mage as his ally for revenge. Hoiga now tightened his grip on his hand, as if he were squeezing laundry. Kilu glanced at his hand, but seemed oblivious as he relayed the next message. "I received word that Priest Sidro already reached the area near Adeye and stopped for a moment. He’ll enter the Adeye mansion soon." "What about Lu?" "You don't need to worry…

- The beautiful voice was affectionate and warm. Of course, the words were incomprehensible until the very end, but strangely enough, that particular word kept coming to mind. Time. Then, I suddenly remembered when I climbed onto the rock to persuade the bear. After I said a certain something, it looked at me with warm eyes. ‘Seize the time.’ At that moment, I thought the bear simply liked those words. Now that I think about it, it looked like it was watching a…

- Knowing the future is a great gift, but the downside is the immense anxiety that comes with losing that gift. In Hoiga's case, that anxiety manifested itself in trembling hands. Thud, scritch. He had to write with a pen on paper, but his hands were shaking, so the pen kept slipping. If he pressed too hard, the ink would spill and ruin his writing. As he discarded the paper for the umpteenth time today, Hoiga sighed. Once the future was distorted, even the few futures he knew were now tainted with…

- I tried to avoid contacting Doctor Kim unless it was for something serious. If I heard asking again, "Did you sleep together? Did you?", I’d honestly have no choice but to confess. But this time, it was serious. I actually succeeded in signing the contract, so it was worth a call. The timing was perfect since no one was around to bother me. Black Bear was training to use the divine beast’s power, and Tairok was busy training too, keeping his promise to accept that same power. Because of that, I…

- His breath against my ear sent a shiver down my spine. I flinched but didn’t turn my head. Now that I actually faced him, something else came to mind even before the contract. What if his feelings were real? A question I tried so hard to ignore suddenly occurred to me. I solved it the way I always did. I just ignored it again. It wasn't the most important issue. But my mind's avoidance made my body move too. I tried to pull away from him, but he caught my arm. He turned me around and pulled me in…

- “You want to find the door that leads to the Forest of the Crimson Tide?” In a corner of the Montaine family’s library, Hoiga questioned Kilu, who had come to see him. “Yes. A door, or whatever it is. I want to find the path the Montaine divine beast uses to travel back and forth. That way, we can prepare.” The word 'prepare' immediately made Hoiga think of Borhumi. Because the Borhumi divine beast was trapped, its power weakened and the Crystal Lake dried up. Consequently, the hidden…

- “Congratulations, Grand Duke. You’ve grown a level higher.” “Not yet.” Tairok denied it and looked down at his hand. Then he muttered to himself. “It’s a divine beast’s power. Why isn’t it Kun?” Rick couldn’t hear the words properly, but he definitely heard the important first part. Divine beast and Kun. This was a man who usually acted cold whenever someone mentioned a divine beast, yet he was the first to seriously talk about a divine beast's power. C-could it…

- “Alright.” The problem was solved, so why did it feel so uncomfortable? On the other hand, he seemed to be in a good mood and took a step further. “Ask for something else, too.” “Will you grant it again? Just because I said it?” “Yes.” “Write a contract for me.” “Alright.” “Really? You have to write it as soon as we return to the manor.” “If you say it properly.” I didn't know what kind of whim he was acting on, but it was a good opportunity.…
