I tried to excuse myself, huffing and puffing, but Banwes didn’t seem convinced. He covered his lips—those that had just been pressed against mine—with his palm, looking somehow flustered. Almost like someone who had accidentally discovered a secret they would have rather not known. Seeing Banwes flustered irritated me, but more than that, I was most annoyed at myself. Even after reaching adulthood, I had never been like this before. It was all the damned demon’s fault. A different kind of…- 183.7 K • Completed
- I pulled a toy-sized cauldron out from the baggage. “You’ve done well.” Lately, Yurichen seemed to praise me whenever I did anything, but it must’ve been just my imagination. Probably just a generous gesture, nothing more. Anyway, when I handed the cauldron to Penzey, he lifted the magic spell cast on it. The tiny cauldron instantly grew large enough to boil even Buzan inside if we wanted. We split the campfire into two: one side to boil water for bathing, and the other to simmer…

- The branches hanging over the man’s head, rustling as he walked, the bushes brushing against his collar, and the small plants he barely avoided stepping on—they all seemed to turn their heads to watch him. The mage stopped before the corpse of a dead traveler, leaning against a tree knoll. The traveler, who must have dried up and died, had decayed until only a bare skeleton remained. He pulled out a small spade he kept at his waist. With practiced skill, he dug into the earth…

- The boy ran, crying. He stretched out both arms, trying to grab even the tip of the elf’s yellow hair, and stumbled forward. He walked straight into the forest’s trickery. The yellow hair vanished, and he plunged off a cliff, breaking his leg. Bzhan staggered to his feet, limping. He ran again. He had to find the elf quickly. Because his very being had been bound to a human through a sacred artifact. If it hadn’t been for that cursed toy, he would have run away long ago. Even…

Before heading out, they checked the time—it was 9:20 AM. At this time, the office workers were sitting at their desks, and the students were in class. Both Qin Yan and Zhou Langxing had taken the day off—they were free people. The elevator was empty and quickly descended to the first floor. Qin Yan opened the glass door of the building, first making way for Zhou Langxing, who was using a cane. Zhou Langxing glanced at the sky outside. The scorching early summer had arrived just in time,…- 132.6 K • Completed
- In the middle of the night, Qin Yan developed a fever and lost consciousness. The illness, which had been lurking in his body since he returned from the funeral two days ago, finally surfaced. In the dim room, on the crimson bedsheets, the young man was trapped in a nightmare. His body shook in waves, and his lips trembled like a fish stranded on shore, sweat pouring out in a thin, glistening layer. He tossed and turned, his arms clutching the pile of clothes on the bed, his fingers splayed out as…

- “Good grief, is someone doomed to disappear every single day now?” It had barely been a day since they set out to find the bride who vanished on her wedding night. Now, the boy raised by elves, half out of his mind, had grabbed Riarun and run off—but he was so fast that even their traces had vanished. “Penzey, what do we do? Should we follow them into the forest too?” Paronai placed a hand on Penzey’s shoulder. Though he usually teased Penzey like a peer, at times like this, he…

- On a miniature canal where water flowed, a paper sailboat and a round boat with a lit candle floated gently along. The candlelight softly warmed the water’s surface, creating a beautiful glow. As I stood there, watching like a little child, a cool presence brushed close. “I don’t understand why you won’t buy it,” Yurichen said. His voice had the refreshing chill of a small piece of ice gliding past my ear. I could feel his gaze trying to read my thoughts. “Carrying around a…

- Creak, creak. The hallway creaked at regular intervals. Banwes, still sitting in the same position he had fallen asleep in, quietly lifted his eyelids. Click. The doorknob twisted slightly, then stopped. After confirming the door was locked, the sound of a key turning followed. As if it had been prearranged, the intruder and the one inside, both unshaken, looked at each other. The mage, slipping lightly through the door like a snake lifting its head, smelled faintly of alcohol. He had a…

- The force most intimately tied to nature eased Banwes’s pain without causing any side effects. His torn skin healed so quickly it was visible to the naked eye. I was tempted to keep watching his stunned reaction a little longer, but things on the other side were moving even more urgently. Paronai, gripping his sword anew, had found the hiding monster with Penzey’s support and was relentlessly trying to land a fatal blow. Unfortunately, Paronai could not deliver the killing strike. Something…
