For Xu Fei, life before 27 felt like a ball of yarn clawed to shit by a cat. Sometimes, when he got too high on weed, he’d even forget who he was. Just lay there on the floor, all skin and bones, thinking he was floating on clouds writing poetry. When he sobered up, the self-loathing hit hard. He wished he could reach through the mirror and tear off that pale, scruffy face of his. But right after the high came the crash, and in that weak-ass state, he didn’t have the strength or balls to do anything…- 79.3 K • Completed
“Are the reinforcements still not here!?” Someone shouted loudly. They had joined up with the soldiers on the mountain, but the enemies’ resistance was still fierce. On top of that, the mountain was enemy territory. Soldiers were falling one by one to arrows fired from who knows where. But if they retreated, a rain of arrows would pour down on them. In that critical moment, someone shouted again. “At least tell us from which direction they are coming!” Yudit turned his head. Not…- 396.9 K • Completed
- “Medic, over here!” Yudit called for a medic. But the soldiers were packed too tightly, so the medic could not reach easily. Noban, who had sat down, stood up again. “This much… is fine.” But soon Noban coughed and spat blood. His lung seemed injured. The soldiers panicked and did not know what to do. ‘When a superior is hurt or dies, the soldiers are affected far more than expected. So please, always stay somewhere safe.’ Yudit realized Noban’s words. A superior getting hurt…

- At Yudit’s words, the soldiers hurried to set up the catapults. Since they had crossed several mountains, the catapults were made of lightweight material that could be disassembled. They had brought them from Devlin Castle, and since there were many hills in the area, these catapults were said to be used often. When the soldiers made noise setting them up, Breda Castle also responded. Bells rang endlessly, and archers lined up densely on the walls. Then one soldier ran up pale-faced and spoke. “The…

- Yudit immediately rose from his seat. He was already armed in preparation for such a time, so there was nothing to gather. When he stepped outside the tent, flames were blazing on all sides. Yudit looked around with a blank expression. The screams of people, the clash of swords, even the smell of burning were all too vivid. “Stay alert and keep the formation…!” Before he could finish speaking, Yudit collided with someone and fell over. “If you don’t run and just follow training, you…

- Ssshhh Late summer rain fell. Water mixed with sweat and rain ran down Yudit’s eyelids and gathered on his eyelashes. Yudit wiped his face and silently drove his horse. “Are you all right?” Shane asked in a low voice at his side, maybe worried about Yudit getting rained on. Yudit nodded and said. “I’m fine. It’s more bearable than I thought. Cool, even.” The light drizzle cooled the sweat of those exhausted from the march. “The rain will get heavier soon. It would be…

- Edmond walked down the corridor with a sullen expression. ‘I am not going to take you with me.’ How could someone with such an angelic face, who could never refuse anything, reject him so bluntly. He had begged, he had threatened, but Yudit did not budge. ‘If you want to go to the battlefield that much, get your gather’s permission first.’ He had whined that there was no way Father would allow it, but in the end it was Edmond who grew tired and gave up. “Edmond? What are you…

- At Yudit’s command, the archers moved in perfect order to that side. Hundreds of arrows drew arcs through the air and fell down at once. Puh-puh-puh-puk! The dye burst and a thick mist spread. Yesterday they had waited for the mist to clear, but today was different. “Shoot again, then fall back behind the archers and guard the rear! Markel, lead the soldiers down! The moment the fog clears, attack! We have the advantage from above, don’t be afraid!” At Yudit’s words another rain of arrows…

- The soldiers who had seen Yudit’s sword skills properly were impressed, but at the same time they thought. “Maybe it wasn’t protection he needed, but a human scarecrow.” Noban thought the same. He also became a little curious. “But why did you choose a duel?” Yudit’s swordsmanship was excellent. Enough to surprise Noban. It was above the level of ordinary soldiers, and he also knew how to fight while overcoming differences in size. But it was not to the extent of easily defeating…

- As dusk fell, lights lit up one after another in the training ground. . Yudit and Lucius stood on the floor of the training ground, facing each other. Lucius, looking at Yudit who was a head shorter than him, suddenly scratched his head as if he was wondering what he was doing. His head had cooled a little on the way to the training ground. But the matter had already gone this far, and since there were quite a few spectators, it was too late to cancel now. “Have you ever learned the…
