He knew it already. To the people of the castle, they were nothing more than convenient hoes, digging up medicinal herbs for them from the cursed Sea of Trees. This time, dispatching the investigation team was likely driven more by concern over disruptions to the herb supply than by worry for the hoe's safety. There was no need to weigh the options. Hunting a single Pensilta dragon required a dedicated catapult, skilled knights, professional hunters, and a mage. In urgent cases, knights alone…- 171.8 K • Completed
- Flap. “……!” An ominous flapping sound echoed. The hunter couldn't rise, even though he'd set all the traps. That shadow was different from the outline alone. It was enormous and threatening. ‘Th-this, this, this is……!’ His vision blurred. Cold sweat soaked his body. The hunter crouched, he was trembling. Death. Absolute death. The hunter held back tears, gasping for breath. ...But for some reason, it didn't seem to move. It was simply watching him. A piercing…

- While Kaelus was lost in confusion. Haa... The dragon let out a sigh. Kaelus resisted the urge to hit his own head with the hilt of his sword. Srrr. The Kremlis shook off the leaves, and it carefully lifted the nest with its front paws. Then, wobbling on its hind legs alone, it scrambled away from the fallen tree. The crow flew down. Caw!! Grrr... Caw!! Grrr... Its trembling front paws gently set the nest down. As if it had been waiting, the crow pecked at the…

- "If you discover a Kremlis hatchling during the investigation, kill it immediately." The knights' eyes widened. Nitan called out to Kaelus. "Captain!" "I won't tolerate insubordination. Don't you understand the situation? That creature is growing stronger by devouring weak monsters on the outskirts." Normally, Kremlis are born deep within the Sea of Trees and die there. They possess fierce pride and a savage nature. They consider preying on the weak a disgrace. Thus, unless injured or old,…

- “This way, sir.” The village chief, sporting a bushy black beard like a bandit, led the way. As they neared the basin, a pungent stench assaulted their noses. Kaelus scanned the partially rotted, decaying carcasses of wolves without flinching. “They haven’t touched them.” "Yes. Of course not..." "I'm not talking about you." "Huh?" "Don't you find it strange that monsters haven't touched such splendid prey, lying here for all to see?" "......!" The village chief's eyes…

- ……Ram. ……Ram. ……Yuram. It felt like someone called out to me in a dream. The sound vanished in an instant, fading into the distance. The first was too far away, the second hadn't reached me yet. I opened my eyes, my mind still hazy. The forest was noisy. I shook my head vigorously and glared at the forest where monsters were scattering. I couldn't tell exactly. But something had happened. * * * The children hadn't visited the lake these past few days. What could…

- That's how we parted ways after sharing our vows at the lake with Rotol. I was happily rolling around in bed. Crunch. When something hard got stuck between my teeth. ‘……?’ Was it a bone from yesterday's hunted monster left in my mouth? No. The round, squishy lump was half-buried in the mucous membrane inside my mouth. My heart skipped a beat. What, what is this?! Frantic, I circled the nest restlessly before launching myself toward the lake. I landed at the edge of the…

- 1. Our dragon doesn't bite. I have no idea what happened. Nothing was visible. Whether I opened or closed my eyes, the world was pitch black. What did I do last night? Well, what else? Probably just drank myself silly again. At the end of my self-deprecating monologue, I heard a sound. A faint murmur, like the rustling of reeds, grew clearer the more I focused. “The wind is stronger than expected. It won't work today.” “No. We've watched long enough. If we keep this up, it'll…

No one could sleep, so they spent some time in Yeorok’s private study. While Yeorok sat on the sofa and drank wine, Eunho lay down with his head on Yeorok’s thigh. His hands were filled with the snack packet Yeorok had given him. Resting on someone else’s leg and cracking roasted pistachios wasn’t his intention. But the comfort was indescribable. Eunho quietly looked up. Yeorok was focused on his documents, and Eunho continued staring at his face without meaning to. His eyelashes were really…- 238.1 K • Completed
- Taehwa opened his eyes wide as if he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. He had already lived in the annex for more than ten years. Haegang’s main house was no different from Seo Taehwa’s own home. Only their surnames were different, and as Yeorok had said, he was practically a part of Haegang himself. “…You’re telling me to leave?” “Yes.” “Why all of a sudden?” “I’m going to stay with Sim Eunho. Can you handle that?” Shocking announcements came one after…
