CHAPTERS
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…- 309.3 K • Ongoing
- 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.…

- I stood up and forced myself to smile. "My heart drops just seeing your brave figure, Grand Duke." "Is that so? I could cut your chest open and check for myself." He’s a man without a single grain of romance. I looked at his sharp blade and took a half-step back. He immediately stepped closer and grabbed my elbow. "So, what did you find?" I’d briefly forgotten that this man never gives up until he gets an answer. I had no choice but to speak honestly. "It's just a type of…

- I learned one thing while I led a civilian unit. No matter how desperate the situation, there is always drama. People fight, they have secret flings, and they even cheat on each other in the middle. They do everything. Because of that, one of my main duties was to mediate between members. “Focus only on the goal.” I emphasized this again as I looked into Black Bear’s eyes. “You’ve endured all sorts of obstacles and trials until now. This time, please just look toward the goal and hold on…

- "So that's why the Ma Trading Company is so powerful. To think such talent was supporting them. The Ma family will never forgive me for snatching Hoiga away." Hoiga saw this as mere flattery, and turned away. It was true that his presence here prevented him from properly assisting the family's affairs. Lately, at Kilu's request, he'd been deciphering Montaine's ancient texts day and night, leaving him exhausted. 'It must contain information about the divine beast. If we obtain that information,…
