    • by Cristae — 409 Layer Upon Layer of Mountains (2) “Get a hold of yourself!” I understood how Robinson felt. My own mind was reeling. I’d suspected there might be monsters in the river at the bottom of the gorge, but that didn’t mean I actually wanted there to be one. A dungeon with three kinds of monsters? Sure. It’s not unheard of. Rare, but there are dungeons with multiple monster species. But as Hope once said, mindless beasts are just prey. If there are multiple types of monsters, there…
    • by Cristae — 531 The Human’s Child (5) “All done!!!” Gamble threw his arms up in triumph. But the moment our eyes met, his confidence faltered. “…Well, not a hundred percent, but close? At least the urgent parts? The kind of stuff where, if you don’t use the data right away, it loses its freshness… that kind of thing?” “So is it done, or isn’t it?” “If there’s anything missing, can I send it later?” “As long as you’re sure it’s not our information. I really want to…
    • by Cristae — 470 Tumbleweed (2) Bang! The pillar of sand rose at intervals, one after another. Kim Chaemin tilted his head. “Is it… a fight?” “I’m not sure,” I replied. If the noise had been constant, it would have made sense, but the thudding sound would start and stop, as if it might continue, then fall silent, only to resume again. If it were a real battle, it wouldn’t pause like that. If it were just to signal their location or attract monsters, they’d probably keep making noise…
    • by Cristae — (Extra Story 42) The Fossil in the Terrarium_2 Hong Seokyoung’s son. It was a remarkably interesting choice of words. Woo Huijae had never really hidden the fact that he was Hong Seokyoung’s “son.” At first, when Hong Seokyoung hadn’t known, he’d introduced him as his disciple, but that was long past. Whether during his solo trips to America or when Guild Mimi was active in Las Vegas, Hong Seokyoung would sometimes refer to Woo Huijae as his son. Since neither of them tried to hide…
    • by Cristae — 526 Words I Want to Convey (3) Not only his face, but even the hand holding his cup bore burn scars. The cane always within reach. A body held stiff with tension. There were far more wounds than met the eye. When I thought about what Gabriel Marceau had gone through before coming to America… I couldn’t bring myself to blame him for leaving his niece behind. I didn’t know every detail, but Marceau had already paid a steep price in that custody battle, even though he hadn’t won. Michelle…
    • by Cristae — 476 Doll (2) “……” Surprisingly, Daniel didn’t seem particularly shocked by Hope’s hint that he had met Henry Lehmann in person. “Did you meet him back when Hunter Hong was working independently?” Hmm. I see. As far as Daniel knew, Hope had shown such promise that Father had scouted him personally. And the reason for bringing Hope over wasn’t simply for dungeon raids. It was to involve him in more secretive matters. If that was the case, it was only natural that these…
    • by Cristae — 457 The World Is Peaceful (4) In the wake of the recent string of incidents and accidents, there was a single magical word that could explain all mysteries. San Francisco. Henry Lehmann. Now that it was suspected Henry Lehmann had some means of triggering dungeon breaks, pinning the Boston dungeon break on him was no challenge at all. All it took was a few suggestive words, and that was that. And strictly speaking, was it even a false accusation? Hadn’t people already suspected the…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 102: The Mature Trash Can (70,000 Nutrient Solution Bonus Chapter) By rights, a trash can shouldn’t count as a “building.” But then again, a normal trash can shouldn’t have an upgrade function, either. Qi Yu chose to use the blueprint, and sure enough, among the eligible items, he found “Ordinary Trash Can.” Besides the trash can, the only other thing in the shelter that met the upgrade requirements was the “Warehouse.” He selected “Upgrade.” became . The…
    • by Cristae — 544 (Hunter Academy Side Story 11) Additional Personnel_3 “I don’t know.” Unlike Kim Chae-min, who couldn’t hide his unease about first-year Shin Ye-won, Woo Hee-jae wore an infuriatingly unconcerned expression. “Awakening is basically genetic. If even one out of three generations is an Awakened, the probability that their descendants will also awaken increases dramatically, right? Teacher Kim, didn’t you say your great-grandfather was a mage?” “That was so long ago, there’s…
    • by Cristae — 518 To Remain a Magician (2) Twenty-some years ago. A dungeon appeared at the Mont-Saint-Michel Abbey, a small island in France. Hundreds of tourists were caught up in it. Most were civilians, with only a handful of Awakened and magicians among them. Everything that happened inside was known solely through the testimony of the sole survivor, Noah Michelle. Given Michelle’s age at the time, her account was never fully trusted. In fact, it wasn’t until a year after the incident that Noah…
    • by Cristae — 456 The World Is Peaceful (3) “…That’s why I’m asking for your help.” Still unable to shake off his shock, Daniel nevertheless managed to finish his explanation somehow. In this respect, he really did have the air of a civil servant accustomed to dealing with the public. What Daniel—and America—wanted from my father was simple. “You’ve been pursuing Henry Lehmann all this time, Hunter Hong. Just having you in America would put enough pressure on those bastards.” They…
    • by Cristae — 396 The Path of Learning (1) Yoo Ji-eun was bored. And with good reason—there was simply nothing to do at this school. Lately, there had been more activities, what with the so-called “hobby tour” and all, but… It still wasn’t enough. An empty classroom had been turned into a cute little library, there was now an audiovisual room for watching movies or playing games, and there was even a badminton net set up in a corner of the field. Lee Seung-yeon had put that up, but the ones who…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 100: If You Get Rich, Don’t Forget Us, Second God (Bonus Chapter for 60,000 Nutrient Solution) Qi Yu: ? Plus, with the tags “not highly ranked” and “pretty lucky,” it was easy to guess. It’s just that things got a bit complicated in the region, so they hadn’t added new members for a while. With the confirmation, Qi Yu poked NeedsSomeMoneyToSave: Is happiness really falling from the sky? Had he finally latched onto a big leg, passed the game…
    • by Cristae — 563 (Extra Story 30) Stars That Shine Together_2 Park Nogyeong’s unique magic was one of the key elements Woo Huijae had identified for the Mont-Saint-Michel raid. There were still no plans to face that insane faerie directly at Mont-Saint-Michel. Hong Seokyoung, worried that the guild members might do something reckless, made sure to remind them from time to time. Of course, that didn’t mean he was leaving it all to chance. Ever since Kim Chaemin had voiced her concerns about…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 162 Some Strange Filters The nineteen remaining Greenlute, trapped and suspended in midair by the vines, were instantly struck dumb with fear. Already outclassed in terms of strength, with their leader dead, they lost all will to fight, dangling helplessly in the air. Qi Yu thought: Why do they seem even easier to kill than mutant creatures? He walked over to the spot where the Greenlute leader’s body had turned into white light and vanished, finding it perfectly clean. On the…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 114: The Server-Wide Event "Speed Carnival" Is About to Begin Compared to the past few days, the temperature had actually risen a little today, and both the rain and wind had lessened. The latest message from the Survival Panel: Qi Yu opened the points leaderboard. First place, ILoveSurvivalGame, 319,800 points. Second place, Reach for the Moon, 156,399 points. Third place, Grind King, 124,901 points. Fourth place, Need a Little Money to Save Me, 116,223…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 105: A Million Beast Crystals, the Growth of the Golden Apple Sapling “What about the second thing?” “The second thing is, I realized—Dan Xingyu, you’re my best friend now.” “I’m not your second-best?” Qi Yu replied, “It’s not the same. I think the survival game has to be compared with Teacher Egnor.” Compared to Dan Xingyu, a friend his own age with whom he could talk about anything, the survival game—which gave him food, warmth, and a safe, beautiful…
    • by Cristae — 477 Doll (3) “Huh?” I couldn’t immediately accept what Kim Chaemin had said. It wasn’t that I disagreed—I simply didn’t understand. “Me?” What was I supposedly doing wrong? I looked at Kim Chaemin in disbelief. Was he saying I didn’t understand the kids’ abilities? What was that supposed to mean? Who could possibly know the kids better than I did? Fine, I’ll concede that maybe my understanding of the mage kids isn’t as thorough as with the others. That’s…
    • by Cristae — 287 Death (3) The Hunter Training High School is, after all, a school. It seems obvious, but it’s something that always had to be kept in mind. Because we used this place almost like an Ark Countermeasures Headquarters, there was equipment here far beyond what you’d expect at a high school. The lab that Gamble used was a prime example. Strictly speaking, the lab wasn’t a school facility. But it hardly made a difference. The auditorium, too, had been designed with input from Kim…
    • by Cristae — 393 Greeting (2) “Uwaaah!!” Han Taekyung shook himself off with a loud yell, mud splattering onto the ground. “……” I glanced at him, then looked up at the sky. Unlike the pitch-black dungeon, the sun blazed in a cloudless sky, dazzling my eyes. We hadn’t actually spent that long in the dungeon, but it felt as though we’d been inside for ages. I could guess the reason for that feeling, but I chose to blame the least burdensome cause. Humans are meant to live under sunlight.…
