    • by Cristae — 449 Fragments (1) Daniel. A man from some American intelligence agency, whose last name I didn’t know, and whose first name might not even be real. He’d introduced himself in a suspicious way from the start, and there’s no way he didn’t know how that would look to us. So why did he act that way? Lee Miseon said it was a kind of insurance. ‘Not insurance with Hunter Hong.’ The partnership with Hunter Hong Seokyoung was already running smoothly. There was nothing left to sort…
    • by Cristae — 264 Tati (3) ‘Irok.’ A low, gentle voice. ‘Will you be alright without me around?’ ‘…Are you leaving again?’ ‘Probably.’ ‘You’re always going somewhere.’ ‘I suppose I am.’ A small laugh followed. ‘Someday, someone might come looking for you, Irok.’ ‘Me?’ ‘Yeah. A friend of mine.’ ‘You have friends?’ ‘…Don’t ask other people questions like that, okay? Just me.’ It would be a long time before I understood what that…
    • by Cristae — “…Wake up…” “Wake up!!” said his friend. Ye Xianqing jolted violently and sat up suddenly, his glasses driven by his nose into the rock above, sending sparks crashing through his vision. The abyss remained steeped in oppressive darkness—deep and boundless—pitch black to the point one could not see their own hand before their face.Only Ye Xianqing’s headlamp, with its cluster of LED bulbs, twinkled faintly in the dark like a tiny firefly. How did I fall asleep?!The instant he…
    • by Cristae — 198. Since surmising that Count Loria might know the "original story," Seraphy had consciously blocked off all information about him and made an effort to feign ignorance. Fortunately, it was not a particularly difficult task. Seraphy’s days were busy enough; when focused on her daily life, Count Loria naturally faded into neglect. Yet it could not go on like this forever. ‘I have to check for myself.’ There was no denying that Count Loria was suspicious. The Emperor himself had…

      by Cristae — Episode 865 ‘I want to believe I misheard.’ If Lee Han had heard correctly just now, then what Joulin offered was… I just pulled it out! Here! Joulin innocently opened his mouth and pointed to the gap where the tooth had been. For a moment, Lee Han had a vision of his name printed in the Imperial and Einrogard newspapers. -The boy of the Wardanaz family, excommunicated for enticing royalty and harvesting flesh… Is it a legitimate transaction, or a deception through evil…

      by Cristae — "It's fine. Let's go." "Are you really sure about this?" After asking, Lee Han realized belatedly. "Ah, you're going to attack him, aren't you?" On second thought, it wasn't a bad idea. Lagesa could vent her grudges, and Lee Han and his seniors could enjoy watching Professor Verdus get attacked. It would be a happy time for everyone. 'I don't know why I was trying to stop this.' The lecture -Staff Materials and Magic Amplification- would be a rare time overflowing with laughter and…

    • by Cristae — 368 The Anchor of Toulon (2) Anchor of Toulon is a ten-person guild. For a guild named after its city, it’s small, but ten years ago, it had over fifty members and was the city’s representative guild. Funès didn’t want to share all the details with an outsider. Fortunately, Woo Heejae didn’t pry into guild affairs, even after noticing the old group photo hanging by the office entrance. “So, how many people are participating in the raid?” “With you, twelve.” “Twelve?…
    • by Cristae — 245 Safety Device (1) The official schedule at the Hunter Training High School begins at 9 a.m.—the start of morning classes in standard academic subjects. The students’ routines revolve around this. Of course, individual habits vary. For example, Oh Hyunwook, Kang Taewoo, and Soon Sunjin wake up at 6 a.m. After a quick wash, the three of them start their morning exercise on the field at 6:30. Lately, for some reason, Seo Hanseong has started joining them as well. At 6:30, as the sound of…

      by Cristae — Chapter 1072 Puyo showered praise after seeing the magic completed by the two Einrogard students. "For student mages to complete something like this! Professor Verdus must be truly happy!" "??" From under the table, Professor Verdus tilted his head. How could he be happy, crawling on all fours because of his devious students’ trickery? "But… No, I’ve never seen this ancient magic before. Where did you find this?" Avalkaigen, who had been staring intently at the magic inscribed on…

      by Cristae — 30 minutes later. Alsicle, after much persuasion, convinced Erindarvel to hand over the three-story wizard villa in the capital as a gift. Erindarvel still clung uncomfortably. “But Pengherin. Isn’t it too irresponsible to give such a materialistic, insincere gift to those who will bear the future of the Empire…” “Wardanaz! Let’s go!” Alsicle pushed the junior wizard’s back and quickly left his seat. If they stayed any longer, they might have had to hear that archmage’s…

      by Cristae — "Why not?" "I don’t want to suppress it by amplifying fire energy." "I see." Puyo nodded, as if understanding what Lee Han meant. "You don't like it because it's too simple a method." "…That's not it." Lee Han almost choked up for a moment. It wasn't about a craftsman's aesthetic sense as an artifact mage at all. "I'm having trouble controlling fire-related magic." "A mage of your caliber?" Puyo was flustered by Lee Han’s words. Among all elements, fire was considered…
    • by Cristae — Hyewon sipped her coffee. The warm aroma of the beans helped calm her nerves. She took another sip and looked ahead. A large TV screen was in view. Geometric patterns floated on the display. The voice from the TV sounded exactly like the altered voice of the person who had claimed to be Yuseong’s secretary. “…I have lots. I don’t even know where to begin, there’s so much to ask.” Messiah. The A.I. who had introduced itself was there, beyond that TV. An A.I. that could…
    • by Cristae — 369 The Mages of Marseille (1) Alain Richard was a mage. And like most mages, he took pride in being one. Whenever he mentioned this, Richard’s master would shake her head and lament the state of things. ‘This is why people have such a poor opinion of mages. All the young ones are missing something.’ He had plenty he wanted to say, but Richard swallowed every word that rose to the tip of his tongue. After all, his master was a far greater mage than he could ever hope to be, someone…

      by Cristae — It was obvious that asking Angrago would only lead to pointless nonsense. Instead of wasting time, Giselle asked the head person in charge. -Wardanaz. Aren’t you supposed to be watching over the others? What the hell is Alpha on about? -Who’s watching whom?! We’re just moving around together! Angrago bristled. Of course, on this outing, Wardanaz had rescued them, defeated enemies, found and gathered students, prepared a secret lodging, and even earned and shared gold, but that was all as…

      by Cristae — “Ah…” Lee Han tried, flustered, to stop her, but the Most Cantankerous Hag was already gone. “Be quiet! Boy!” “Kruruk (Making noise while discussing magic, have you no manners)!” “……” Seeing black magicians sitting and occupying someone else’s desk as if it were their own and acting up, Lee Han wondered why he’d bothered trying to stop her. ‘I’d better remember to tell them later.’ Lee Han’s scheme was wicked, but in truth, the black magicians were no…

      by Cristae — Meanwhile, the summoning magicians beside Professor Millei sternly warned, "If you keep disgracing the summoning magicians attending the festival, we’ll let you know that pit over there is still empty." "I-I'm serious…!" "Please, just once, let us control the golem! Then you’ll see we’re not saying nonsense!" "What ridiculous thing are you—!" Before the rage could strike like lightning, Lee Han spoke up. "I’ll just show you." "…Huh?" "I was the one controlling it…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 170: Dan Xingyu’s Past It was the first time Leslie and Jinqian had met Dan Xingyu. Jinqian exclaimed, “Whoa! I’d already heard from the region… uh, I mean, people said you were really handsome. But you’re even better-looking than I imagined!” He glanced at his own boss, then at Dan Xingyu, then back at his boss. These days, does being number one on the rankings require good looks too? Leslie, meanwhile, was curious about something else. “This gentleman is…” Dan…
    • by Cristae — 181. For such a perilous incident—a carriage nearly veering off the road—the outside world was remarkably serene. The passersby hurried along, oblivious as though nothing had happened. The horses were calm. There was no sign of damage to the road or buildings anywhere. ‘…Did something really even happen?’ Ex, embarrassed to find himself agitated alone, sheepishly scratched the back of his neck. “I apologize.” Startled by the sudden sound, he turned to find a cleric…

      by Cristae — Though he’d done it several times already to no avail, the hamster once again squeaked and engraved that resolution in his heart. Lee Han put the hamster in his sleeve (the baby basilisk was highly displeased) and tried to head over to Professor Thunderstep’s Water Engraving Hall. He could have finished making it in his personal room, but the various facilities in the Alchemy School’s tower made it more convenient. …Sometimes, he could even borrow the professor’s reagents when…
