Cr-crack! Zed’s eyes flew open at the sound of something breaking. What he saw was the remains of a collapsed tower and a space filled with a foul liquid. Tap Thinking it might be a dream, Zed took a step, only for his foot to kick something. It was that bizarrely shaped small brain that Magnus had swallowed. Zed picked it up and poured divine power over the lump emitting an ominous energy, creating layer upon layer of barriers. The golden barrier hardened before turning into an amber-colored…- 199.7 K • Ongoing
The servants came in a row and put two whole roast boars on each table. At Yudit’s table, they added an entire deer. There were also many game animals that could be hunted, such as woodcocks and pheasants. The skins gleamed with juices, and the potatoes, onions, and mushrooms laid around them were roasted to a golden brown. Smoked salmon and trout were served as well, accompanied by fragrant herbs like lemon and dill. The bread baskets were refilled until they were full again, and unlike the soup, the…- 396.9 K • Completed
- “His Majesty says he cannot spare time today.” At the steward’s words, Yudit looked troubled. No sooner had he arrived in the capital than he headed straight for the imperial palace to request an audience with the emperor. But after waiting two hours, the only answer he received was a rejection. “Is His Majesty unwell?” “We are not obligated to answer such questions.” The steward replied coldly. He clearly had no intention of giving anything away. Since the steward was the…

Gu Weiyang opened his mouth, then closed it again. The alpha's expression was a mix of confusion and uncertainty. As he looked at the omega so close to him, even though his mind was racing, he still didn’t know how to respond. He had originally thought that today’s meal would end with a calm conversation and that continuing their marriage would be the best outcome. Yet now, Su Shijin was telling him that there was something even better than that. He likes him. How could something this…- 217.8 K • Completed
- “What letter?” “The one you sent along with your hair.” “Ah, that…” “You don’t have to answer if it’s hard to talk about.” When Yudit hesitated, Shane cut him off, as if the question was pointless. In truth, there was no reason he couldn’t answer. It just felt a bit awkward to admit it had been a crude form of threat. “It’s nothing much. Just…” Yudit had just started to speak when the sound of galloping hooves echoed from afar. At least fifty riders. His…

“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.…- 305.8 K • Ongoing
“Meal time for prisoner number 1004.” A stiff voice came from beyond the locked iron door. Moments later, the narrow slot beneath the door opened, and a wooden tray pushed through, holding a loaf of bread and a bowl of water. Only after confirming that the guard's footsteps had completely faded did I reach for the bread. Beneath it lay a red letter. Without hesitation, I set the bread down and picked up the letter. Rip─ Something small and light tumbled out of the roughly torn envelope.…- 180.0 K • Ongoing
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…- 171.8 K • Completed
- 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…

- “All the family members, even the cousins, I have seen them, so please don’t worry too much.” Selena cut in quickly, as if she thought Yudit might say something. Noban too, looked stunned with Selena’s sudden appearance. “This is my aide.” “I’m Selena Craven.” Selena extended her hand to Noban. He looked down at her pale, delicate hand for a moment, then shook it. “Noban Esrad.” “If it’s alright, the Craven family would like to take care of the cleaning and…
