322 Guardian (2) There was not a hint of shadow in that snowy white hair. The strands, remarkably smooth, did not look like those of an elderly woman at all. The old woman, her hair swept up with a large clip, smiled gently. Before I could even react, she pulled me into a tight embrace. “At last, we finally meet!” Her words were so familiar, it was almost bewildering. “Isabella, let me see our grandchild’s face too!” In contrast to the old woman’s abundant hair, the robust old…

263 Tati (2) <That one, where did you get it.> I hadn’t misheard. The creature pointed at my sword and repeated the question several times. Where did I get it? When I didn’t answer, it began pounding furiously on the shield. <Where!!!> Bang! Bang! Bang bang!! <That one!> Bang!!! The shield shuddered in fine tremors. Hong Seokyoung had mentioned it, too. There had been monsters capable of speaking human language. He said the one he met only muttered his name…

418 Preparation for the Raid (3) “Man, this is exhausting!” “What’s so exhausting?” “The most basic things are always the hardest!” “The basics?” “Walking, of course!” Han Taekyung made an exaggerated show of rubbing his back. With that silly grin, he looked less like someone worn out and more like someone out for a stroll. He was only complaining lightly; the path wasn’t that tough. It was an untamed forest trail, but nothing like the heart of some remote…

325 Declaration of Revenge (1) Ding-dong. The doorbell rang—a sound I almost never heard. I glanced toward the bathroom, then opened the front door. “Good morning!” Isabella Blake greeted me with a bright, beaming smile. “Oh my, I told you we should go together.” “You’re just too slow! How did you ever manage to explore dungeons at that pace?” “And you never thought maybe you’re just too fast?” Isabella paid no attention to Robert’s words. I looked past…

361 New Employee (3) The kids, fresh from their second successful dungeon raid, could barely contain their excitement. I wasn’t so strict as to immediately demand a review of their mistakes—there was no need to kill the mood. Luckily, they were so absorbed in the dungeon that they seemed to have forgotten whatever they’d been discussing right before entry. I hoped they wouldn’t get any more curious about what had happened at school. Of course, as someone who was once a teenager myself, I…

242 Civil Complaints (1) “All right.” Hong Seok-young, surprisingly, accepted it right away. “Let’s check the rune first. And then we’ll head to that dungeon you mentioned. Jirisan.” If Hong Seok-young had simply ordered me to do it because it was urgent, I probably would have gone along, pretending to be reluctant. But contrary to my expectations, Hong Seok-young backed off without protest. “You’re not wrong. If Jieun asks what this is, I wouldn’t have anything to tell…

284 Retaliation (4) Alex Hope gently stroked the little girl’s hair. What was her original name again? Sohee? Sophia? Remembering people’s names was still a difficult task. Was it really necessary to memorize them all? Sandra would probably get annoyed if she heard him say that. “How long do you expect me to clean up after you?” she’d say. Even so, compared to his childhood, his understanding of humans had improved greatly. He knew he had to make an effort, since he’d decided to…

433 Aptitude (1) “A question about Mont Saint-Michel, you say?” Jean Robinson had arrived at the Training High. Even this taciturn man had changed a great deal since our first meeting. He was a better father than I’d expected, and an impressive Hunter as well. This is why you can’t trust first impressions. Look at Noah Michel… she turned out the same way. Not that I’m saying Jean Robinson is perfect. But for someone his age, it’s only natural to have a few personal issues. I…

500 Pursuit (4) A will? At that word, a base curiosity welled up inside me before I even realized it. Gamble quickly caught himself, snapping back to his senses. This was all Alex’s fault, that kid who’d watched endless dramas in the lab—those palace romances about the missing king’s will in some imaginary kingdom, tangled with assassination, adultery, and power…. But this was something that had happened in real life. Gamble had no desire to sink that low. Even if it was about the…

355 Molting (2) “Ugh, wow...” As soon as I set her down, Shin Minseo collapsed onto the floor. “I feel like I’m going to throw up...” She was a bit unsteady, unlike Gamble, who was standing upright on her own two feet. Well, Gamble was an Awakened, after all. “I had to run myself or it would’ve taken too long. My apologies.” “This school is unnecessarily huge...” Her face was still pale, but as soon as she caught her breath, Shin Minseo sprang to her…

326 Declaration of Revenge (2) Classes at the co-ed school started at 9 a.m. The current time: 8:13 a.m. It took just over forty minutes to walk from home to school, and we were about halfway there. Even if Kang Taewoo had just spent a short vacation in Hawaii with his little sister, and even if he now had a home in Korea, I wasn’t cold-hearted enough to send an eighteen-year-old straight to the dormitory. I told him he could commute from home just for this week. After all, he lived across…

275 Coin (2) What Woo Irok planned to do with money that couldn’t be traced didn’t really matter. Well, it did matter, but it wasn’t a priority. I was certain that if anyone tried to take his money, he wouldn’t just sit back and let it happen. At worst… “Irok is just too cute.” “…Why are you telling me that?” “Did you know he asked me what kind of birthday present girls would like? I think he’s planning to give one to a girlfriend.” “Again, why are you…

549 (Hunter Academy Side Story 16) The Graduates_3 “For now, that’s as far as I’ve got. Any questions?” Lee Seung-yeon gulped down water, her throat dry. She tried to look nonchalant, but it was obvious she was nervous. Normally, her friends would have teased her or cracked jokes at her expense, but today, none of them felt like doing that. After seeing how much she’d prepared, it wouldn’t be right to make fun of her—not if they were really friends. “So… this is your ultimate…

398 The Path of Learning (3) “I’m telling you, I wasn’t like that.” “The more someone says that, the more you have to be suspicious about their past.” “There’s nothing wrong with my past.” “Really?” “Really.” “Truly?” “…I’m serious.” “Then why won’t my eyes believe you?” My father grinned slyly. “How can you live without trust?” “It’s because I trust you too much that I’m like this!” Hong Seok-yeong tapped his fist…

469 Tumbleweed (1) Las Vegas is a city in the desert. Naturally, most of the nearby dungeons are desert terrain. The Mole Dungeon, too, was fundamentally a desert, though it was full of plants. It wasn’t the kind of desert you’d find in Africa, with sand blowing everywhere. Instead, red-tinged rocks jutted out here and there, and weeds that looked for all the world like tumbleweeds rolled across the ground. It was the quintessential American desert landscape. Of course, the sand dunes…

448 Hong Seokyoung’s Detective Agency (3) We proceeded on the assumption that Noah Michel was behind all of this. Of course, did we have any concrete evidence? No. But as I kept saying, if it wasn’t Noah Michel doing this, it was even worse. If this was a naturally occurring phenomenon, that meant another insane dungeon break like this could happen at any time. So, it was better if it was Noah Michel. There was a kind of… desperate hope in that. “Does the U.S. government know…

358 Molting (5) How old was Hope again? I tried to recall what Im Miseon had told me about Alex Hope. All I could remember was that it hadn’t been long since he graduated high school. Was he twenty-one? Twenty-two? Even if another year had passed, it didn’t make much difference. Even though he was in his twenties, Alex Hope never struck me as particularly mature. At best, he seemed like a high schooler. Maybe even a bit like little Yoo Jieun. That was probably because, until he met Sandra…

340 Roses in the Sea (1) “……!” Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Kim Chaemin recognized the face of that monster—at least, the face in the form of a human man—who was grinning at him, baring his teeth. But recognizing the face had nothing to do with the murderous aura radiating from him. Kim Chaemin immediately launched an attack. “Ah, aaah. Th-this... thi-i-i-i...” The man smiled coldly. He grabbed Kim Chaemin’s vine with his bare hand. Of course, Kim Chaemin…

506 In a Dream (1) Even in the chilling scene of dead fish eyes spinning round and round, there was something good about it. For one, it wasn’t all that disgusting. No, it was creepy, of course. But the eyes, floating and spinning lazily behind Michel’s back, were within the normal range by dungeon standards. I hated bugs more. Those giant centipede-like things. “Keep going!” Father shouted as he moved to avoid the dust. At his command, we scattered. I climbed up onto a bookshelf.…

486 Sinking Swamp (2) The so-called safe and promising method that Gamble presented with such gravity was— “Teacher!” —astonishingly, a living being. A human, standing on two feet, speaking, thinking, and even using magic. “Teacher, are you going to stay at school now?” Not just one, but two. Park Seohyun and Choi Jinwoo rushed over, brimming with excitement. It didn’t feel like I’d been away from school for long, yet they seemed to have grown so much in the…
