Clack, clack— The only sound echoing through the vast space was the heavy, measured clatter of the training instructor's boots. The shoulders of the new guards were all stiff as boards. Palet, now 25, had applied for the notoriously demanding prison guard position with the single-minded goal of securing stable retirement funds. Yet, the moment the instructor stopped in front of him, he wanted to give up everything and go home. “Palet.” “Yes, yes, sir...!” The instructor fired off a…- 180.0 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.…

- The Hayut Massacre. That's what the world called the tragedy that unfolded at Hayut Castle that day.

After identifying Kogaron's body, Isabelle immediately rushed to the place where his remains had been found. She wanted to find her father's limbs. For three days and nights, she searched through the debris until her…

- The Season of Salvation has ended. The imperial family had come out to the gates of the imperial palace to see off the Pope and his apostles. And the Second Prince's venomous gaze was fixed on Lucariel, seated in the passenger seat of the Pope’s divine carriage. Tykvana noticed this and frowned. ‘Come to think of it, the Second Prince and Lady Hayut were betrothed.’ With the Duke and Duchess of Hayut dead and their castle reduced to ruins, there was no way the Second Prince and Lady…

- The Pope told me to choose between being imprisoned or taking the bishop's seat. Then he left the room, telling me to think it over. I couldn't believe it. Imprisonment as punishment and the bishop's seat as reward. The former was entirely justified, the latter unjust. I might have accepted it if he had simply ordered me imprisoned right then. But why this sudden talk of a bishop? …Does it make any sense that a bastard who took countless lives should ascend to bishop without any…

- “Our Lulu is bursting with energy the moment he wakes up.” It was that voice, the one that always disarmed me, no matter when or where. The instant I heard that voice, time seemed to freeze. It should have taken only a few seconds to turn my head toward the source of the voice, but those few seconds felt like an eternity. And finally, what came into my view was a face so familiar and so longed for. My only family, left behind in my original world... “...Brother?” My mind went…

- Since returning from the Hayut Castle Tykvana had been busier than ever. She had to shoulder all of Atsula's duties as well, since he had fallen into a coma. Atsula's divine power shock was caused by Lucariel's divine power. However, she reported to the Pope that it was an accident caused by Atsula's own divine power going out of control. Such incidents were not uncommon among those who manifested divine power, so the Pope did not make a big deal out of it and let it pass. ‘I dared report…

- Iser's hand, which had been reaching toward my cheek, stopped mid-air. Then it fell limply to the ground. I reflexively caught the hand. The body temperature I felt through the gloves was unnaturally cold. “...Iser?” There was no reply. Iser lay motionless, both eyes closed. I brought his hand to my cheek. The spot where our skin touched didn't hurt. No. He said it wouldn't hurt to touch while the wound was still there. I forced myself to steady my mind and pressed my ear to Iser's…

- Lucariel jumped high and landed on the windowsill of the floor where Iser was. At that moment, a sickening, blood-curdling stench that felt like it would turn his stomach inside out filled the air. “What is this...” Hell itself unfolded before his eyes. The hallway, littered with servants lying everywhere, was a sea of blood. Bright red blood pooled on the pure white marble floor, and the walls and ceiling were also stained with the same crimson hue. No one alive remained…
