Ssshh—soft robes rustled at the man’s feet. Draped head to toe in cloth, the man halted at the edge of the forest. He stared through the veil at the vast woods, which appeared utterly still. “High Priest, is this the forest?” One of the priests who had been shadowing him asked in a hushed voice. The man slowly turned his head in response. “Use the power granted by God to capture him without injury.” “Yes, sir.” That half-demon had evaded capture for thirty years. But…- 183.7 K • Completed
- That evening, at the deep, dark hour when the sky had turned black. Banwes began to move, hidden in the darkness. It had been hours since he last moved. Until then, he had stood still as if to become a massive stain on the cave wall.Naturally, I tried to follow him. At that moment, he looked back at me. I knew that the moment he took a breath, I would lose track of him. So before being left behind in the forest, I opened my mouth. “Stop right there. Move slowly, so I can keep…

- The cracked and burned soles of his feet left long footprints on the ground. The hellish time passed, and gradually, the blue light of the forest returned. The trees were nearly intact, But the flames that had turned human bodies to ash were still enough to send a shiver down one’s spine. The man, carrying Riarun, crawled into a cave like a beast. The cave had an entrance on the other side, allowing fresh air to flow through. But the one truly purifying the air in the area was the limp human he…

- A wave of nausea twisted my insides as I opened my eyes. “……!” My vision rocked violently up and down. I was being carried high over someone’s shoulder, and they were running fast. When I jerked my head up, I could see the ground growing distant. The person’s feet would stop abruptly, then break into another frantic sprint without direction. I was unmistakably being kidnapped. A jolt of tension surged through my entire body. But I didn’t scream or struggle—not right away. My…

- The body I possessed was the worst.Even at a young age, I was beaten daily, insulted, and fed food unfit even for a dog.A damp underground corridor reeking of mustiness. A large man in a black robe struck my head. My neck jerked forward from the force. “I told you not to take bread from the kitchen without permission, didn’t I? You’re skin and bones, but you eat like a pig. Can’t even keep your own room clean.” Pale cheeks that gave the impression of being an orphan. Distinct facial…

5. Fighting in a brawl Is Actually Turn-Based?! As soon as Bai Yuanxiu heard the voice, he shivered and quickly grabbed the mask from his waist and put it on his face. “Not bad.” Wei Heng and the scholar-like man both knelt and saluted, calling out “Sect Leader.” Meanwhile, Bai Yuanxiu, still chewing the meat pie in his mouth, stood in stark contrast to the others who were kneeling on the ground. The leader of the Demonic Sect was a man whose age was hard to tell, partly because of his…- 80.2 K • Completed
- 4. Urgent Notice Upon hearing this, Bai Yuanxiu stiffened, then immediately said, “It’s not really the Left-Hand Sword Technique, just a few moves I’ve practiced; I can barely use it. You see, it’s not good at all.” He rotated his left wrist, seemingly exhausted after just that one move, as though it had surpassed his body’s limit. Xiao Qing looked at him for a while, and when Bai Yuanxiu started sweating, he raised the corner of his mouth and said, “So that’s how it is.” Bai…

- 3. The Disguise Is Gone!? Bai Yuanxiu squinted up at the glaring sun, then turned around with a worried look. “How about we just go buy a carriage?” Xiao Qing’s cheeks were flushed red at this point, looking like he was about to get heatstroke. Bai Yuanxiu’s heart ached just looking at him, regretting how impulsively he’d set out without even preparing a horse—just dragging the other along like this. Not long ago, they’d run into a middle-aged couple who had been caught in a storm…

- 2. The Rumored Business Poacher Bai Yuanxiu had a bit of a headache—not the physical kind, of course. He steadily drove the carriage forward, all the while frantically praying in his heart that the hawk above would have enough sense not to dive down just because the area looked open and empty. As it turned out, he’d been overthinking it. The hawk circled in the sky for a while, then lazily flew off. But Bai Yuanxiu didn’t dare look up too often, so the rest of the journey was made in silent…

- 1. On the Importance of Acting Spoiled The sky was clear and bright. Early summer had just begun, and the mountains were blanketed in green, lifting the spirits of anyone who saw them. A voice, anxious and loud, shattered the peaceful scene. “Hero Bai! Hero Bai!” A small, skinny man came sprinting down a mountain path. He ran so fast he nearly lost his shoes. The shadows of the trees swayed, and before he realized it, a figure dressed in water-blue appeared before him. “Stop shouting.…
