Proof of that could be seen in the bright faces of the French hunters who had come from Okinawa to Korea. They’d brought piles of gifts—chocolates and other treats—supposedly for the Korean students, but their luggage was…
    • by Cristae — 53Survive "In its early stage, the farm feeds on cursed objects and tears of the fallen, wracked constantly by hunger.""It scours the remains of the dead, hunting or appeasing the blood and tears of those departed, living off such sustenance." "A farm that survives to the mid-stage can basically keep those sheltered beneath its wings well-fed, granting them temporary peace.""No doubt, you too have saved countless lives." "But sir, there is one thing you cannot overlook."Bian Xu smiled radiantly,…
    • by Cristae — "Divinity""That bastard Gu Haoping keeps changing the rules every day—restrictions keep tightening." "Before Commander Nie left, he entrusted three crates of nutrient paste as a guarantee to the Northern Squad, but instead of releasing those supplies, that bastard tightened the food distribution on the ferry, bought up surplus provisions at high prices, and monopolized all the food for unified sale. Outsiders can't buy a thing anymore." Sha Tong spat, full of fury, yet powerless to do…
    • by Cristae — 548 (Hunter Academy Side Story 15) The Graduates_2 College was hectic, in a different way. As a college student, Lee Seung-yeon still hadn’t decided whether she liked it or not. Her childhood friend, Soon Soon-jin, seemed to be enjoying university life to the fullest, almost as if mocking Seung-yeon’s indecision. ‘It’s not that I dislike it…’ She had considered joining a guild, like Oh Hyun-wook or Seo Han-seong. But after much deliberation, she’d concluded that, for now, college…
    • by Cristae — 349 Interference (2) “Alex?” I led Kim Chaemin to Sandra Gamble. Even then, Kim Chaemin remained silent. Now that I thought about it, there hadn’t been many occasions for Kim Chaemin to meet Hope directly. Not that there were none… but at those times, Kim Chaemin had always said there was something he needed to check and had cut off contact, leaving the scene. It was only later that I learned Kim Chaemin had been cultivating mana grass in the collapsed territory during that period.…
    • by Cristae — 251 The Archmage’s Disciple’s Disciple (2) “So, when it comes to the manifestation of mana, this method is more efficient than the traditional one, right?” “If you ask me that, I really don’t know.” “Oh, come on! How can you say that?” “I told you, I’m not a mage. I only know the theory—I have no idea how it actually works in practice. Isn’t it simply that this method is used now because it’s more efficient than the previous one?” “Hmmm. Fine. Then, next…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 81: The Legendary Land Qi Yu lay quietly amidst the pile of magical crystal stones. The magic he had overdrawn in the past few days was now recovering rapidly, enveloped by the dense wood-elemental energy. His spiritual power, too, was soothed by this immense vitality. He had no need to “see” with his eyes; not far away, every movement of the Gareth siblings was within his perception. “Why hasn’t he gotten up yet?” Gareth whispered. Although they had seen Qi Yu knocked…
    • by Cristae — 540 (Hunter Academy Side Story 7) The School Nurse_1 January 1st. New Year! Last year’s diary was honestly a failure, but this year I’ll try to keep up with it more consistently. January 2nd. Even though it’s winter break, I’m at school so much it doesn’t even feel like vacation, and with the teachers gone, it’s boring. They said they’d bring back gifts after their business trip, but maybe they’re just not coming back because they don’t want to give us…
    • by Cristae — 508 In a Dream (3) “Let’s look on the bright side.” We walked along the roses. Aside from his hair being a bit tousled, Kim Chaemin looked perfectly fine as he and Han Taekyung greeted us. Kim Chaemin, still maintaining his magic, looked a little tired, but he grinned confidently, insisting he was fine. He said this was the best way to minimize Michel’s interference. With that kind of conviction, there was no room to argue. I told him to speak up if it got to be too much, and Kim…
    • by Cristae — 387 Clue (2) Through my personal experiences, the time I’ve spent caring for Uirok, and the lessons I’ve learned teaching the students at Yangseong High, I’ve come to realize something. Children are always eager to know secrets. …Of course, this isn’t something limited to children alone, but when it comes to being easy to handle, it’s certainly more true for them. Especially the ones who think themselves clever—those are the ones most curious about the secrets of adults. Among…
    • by Cristae — 454 The World Is Peaceful (1) Most magicians conceal the location of their domains. But the location of Noah Michel’s domain, unlike most magicians, was no secret. Perhaps it wasn’t what Noah Michel wanted. But if you use the top floor and the one below it of a building in the bustling center of Nantes—one of France’s major cities—as your domain, it’s bound to become public knowledge. Of course, considering Noah Michel’s fame, even if she made her domain a remote country estate,…
    • by Cristae — 348 Interference (1) “Inside from inside?” “You can only destroy a dungeon core by entering the dungeon in the first place.” “Well, that’s because the core is inside the dungeon…” I almost asked why he was stating the obvious, but stopped myself. It wasn’t as if Kim Chaemin didn’t know that; there was something elusive, something just out of reach, that was catching at me. Inside the dungeon, from inside. Henry Lehmann, who had turned into a wooden puppet inside Kim…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 186 Little Old Me was about to be driven mad by this bunch of pig teammates. Ever since he’d decided to strike first, he’d been determined to make it quick. One reason was to avoid unforeseen complications—he wanted My Fate dead, and the feeling was likely mutual. Secondly, the end of the month was approaching, which meant the second round of rankings was about to be settled. With another round of resources, My Fate would only become harder to kill. There was also the matter…
    • by Cristae — 471 Rotating Grass (3) Daniel glanced at Hope with a suspicious look. I understood. If I were Daniel, I too would have wondered whether Hope was a human, a monster, or perhaps something even more unidentifiable—an alien from another world. Unfortunately, Hope was all three. Daniel’s suspicions were justified. “How about the others? How wide is the affected area?” “Even Mr. Hong, who was right next to me, ended up incredibly far away. If there are any other people….” And…
    • by Cristae — 416 Preparation for the Raid (1) “Is it all right if I enter the dungeon?” It was around the time the luxurious Okinawan villa was bustling with hunters from France. I asked this question during a phone call with Hong Seokyoung. I’d called partly because I was reminded of my father, who’d always forbidden me from hunting humanoid monsters—especially fairies. And honestly, since Kim Chaemin had already come from Korea to Okinawa, I wondered if it was too late to be asking permission.…
    • by Cristae — 252 The Archmage’s Disciple’s Disciple (3) “…Huh?” Park Seohyun sat up from her dormitory bed. She sensed a surge of mana that shook her entire body. No, strictly speaking, it wasn’t all that strong. It was a faint ripple, like a breeze so gentle you could barely tell if it was blowing at all. Yet Park Seohyun’s expression grew grave as she looked out the window. How often does one sense an artificial wave of mana on a peaceful afternoon? …Not never. If you’re unlucky, you…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 106: The War Ancient Trees, A Commission from the Winter Icefield Several friends on Qi Yu’s contact list had all received a gift. The others were discussing it directly in the group chat: Only then did Qi Yu remember that, aside from God Is Formless, the others still didn’t know he had a dual class. He hesitated a little. It hadn’t mattered before, but now the temperature in District 01 was dropping lower and lower. If it got any colder, even with enhanced…
    • by Cristae — 426 Field Trip (2) “Wow!” “Wow!” “Wow!” The children, dressed in their dirt-stained gym uniforms, spun around me in circles, covered in dust from head to toe, performing a bizarre dance. Oh Hyunwook stood behind them, arms crossed, pretending not to care, while Park Seohyun clapped along with the children’s shouts, smiling quietly. …… Strange. Had I really been away that long? Was it the heat that had gotten to them while I was gone? I glanced at Kim Chaemin, who…
    • by Cristae — 296 Will (2) “All right, yes. Now, carefully channel your mana in that state—no! That’s too fast!” “Ugh… This is too hard, teacher.” Groans began to rise from among the children. I had expected as much, since they’d only ever practiced raising their power by recklessly summoning mana. Of course they were struggling. “How long are you going to stick to the easy stuff?” “We’ve never done anything easy, what are you talking about?” “Want me to show you what’s…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 107: The Ice Demon The old woman, Tessa, told him a story. Tessa’s family had been icefield hunters, living for generations deep within the Winter Icefield. Icefield hunters were descendants of the Vela people, born with robust bodies and a bloodline unafraid of wind, snow, and bitter cold. The climate of the Winter Icefield was unimaginably harsh; aside from the Vela, no other race could survive there for long. Even the Dawson Trading Company, famed for the saying “as long as…
