277 Betting (1) Noah Michel had posted exactly twenty-four runes. Fortunately, none of the runes I’d set aside for future release were among them. At the very least, that meant those runes had nothing to do with Noah Michel—or so I wanted to believe. I checked to see who had originally revealed Noah Michel’s runes. There were some mages I’d already marked as his followers from the start, and others who weren’t, though most were European mages, so there might have been some connection to…

528 The Human’s Child (2) The city was in turmoil. The news kept blaring on about how the greatest disasters of the century had struck one after another, how the paralysis of the American West had plunged the world economy into recession, how at last the end of humanity was upon us. Every time I watched, it just gave me a headache, so I gave up checking. In the end, people always manage to survive somehow. At least, right now, the end of humanity feels like the most distant possibility of…

380 Girl of Dreams (3) Once upon a time, there lived a kind and gentle mage who loved tending gardens. “Isn’t ‘kind’ and ‘gentle’ the same thing?” “Be quiet.” “Yes.” The kind and talented mage cultivated a beautiful garden of her own. Her favorite flower was the rose she’d inherited from her grandfather, but her garden wasn’t filled with roses alone. The mage wanted to help others with the flowers she grew... “Wasn’t she already grown up?” “Don’t…

283 Retaliation (3) “In the dramas Sandra watches, everyone does this.” Alex mimicked taking out a wallet as he spoke. No matter how much he tried to lower his voice, it just sounded like a child pretending to be an adult. “FBI. We request your cooperation… Was that it?” The three hunters, all wearing identical FBI jackets, let out a sigh in unison. “We’ll handle that, so please… just behave yourself, okay?” “Can’t I do something fun too?” “This isn’t…

527 The Human’s Child (1) “Uuuuuugh…” Gamble sprawled across the conference room table, making a strange noise. The way he scratched at his short-cropped hair looked genuinely painful. I watched him with a rather cheerful heart. I thought I was hiding it, but unfortunately, Gamble quickly caught on to the mocking glint in my eyes. “Ugh…” His bloodshot eyes, red from lack of sleep, were plenty intimidating. I cleared my throat and looked away, then decided to meet Gamble’s…

555 (Hunter Academy Side Story 22) Lemon Candy_1 Kang Tae-woo was nineteen years old. If he had to pick the most surprising thing in his nineteen years of life, it was the fact that he was still alive at this age. And not just alive, but doing well. He went to a real school, had a home instead of an orphanage, and had a family. He could make plans for what he wanted to do, what he wanted to become. Tae-woo still found it all amazing—in a good way. Honestly, he’d thought he’d never…

365 Invitation (1) Europe is home to many ancient and storied magical families and societies. There are hundreds officially registered, and if you count the secretive mages who carry on their traditions in the mountains as if they’re something special, the number easily climbs into the thousands. Whether all of them have the skill to confidently introduce themselves as mages is another matter entirely. In any case, to have history and tradition means to have stubbornness. And stubbornness means…

281 Retaliation (1) “Noah Michel asked you to do what?” When Sandra Gamble heard from Alex about the errand Noah Michel had assigned him, she knew at once it was a poison she must never swallow. Judging by the way Alex kept stealing glances at her, he understood it too. He might not always think things through, but he wasn’t stupid. All those years of diligent education had paid off. “So?” “So…” Alex clamped his mouth shut. Well, at least he hadn’t gone off on his own,…

478 Doll (4) “Leave her. Don’t kill her or anything.” Kim Chaemin’s voice was firm, his expression brooking no argument. You shouldn’t mess with a mage wearing that look—especially not when it’s Kim Chaemin. It seemed everyone else had the same thought, because no one objected. Instead, we all eased our stances, giving Kim Chaemin space to examine Lawton. What had he noticed about her? I studied Lawton more closely. Her staggering, as if she might collapse at any moment,…

459 Frustrating (2) There’s a part that civilians and hot-blooded rookie hunters often overlook: dungeon raids, for the most part, are conducted in silence. The dungeons I entered with the students from Yangseong High or with Eva Robinson were focused on learning, not true raids. The countless dungeons Han Taekyung was put through were the same. But to make noise in a dungeon you’re raiding for real? To cause a commotion? That only means you’re inexperienced. There’s a reason for the…

290 To-Do (3) “…So that’s how it is. Do you understand?” “……” Kang Tae-woo was silent for quite a while. I didn’t say anything further, letting him have time to gather his thoughts. Tae-woo blinked several times, then lowered his gaze. He stared at his hands resting on his knees for a long time, and finally, as if he’d sorted things out, he spoke. “Sohee is safe, right?” “Yes.” “Then where is Sohee staying now?” More than his own future, Tae-woo…

479 Territory War (1) I still don’t understand Henry Lehmann. The information Daniel provided was about Henry Lehmann’s movements—his upbringing, education, work history, criminal record, social connections, residence, and family… A person’s entire life laid out in print before my eyes. But that only told me what he’d done with his life, not why he’d made those choices. The Henry Lehmann recorded in those documents was ordinary. Even after moving to a foreign country with his…

330 Mud-Covered (1) “Hello!” The fairy Tati circled around us, beaming. The delicate, almost feminine lines of her form were unchanged, but with mud dripping off her in clumps, it hardly mattered. I couldn’t even make out her face properly. She looked almost like a monster crawling up from the sewers. She hadn’t exactly been clean the last time, either. But wasn’t that because the dungeon had been covered in mud? …Or was it? I still didn’t know all of this fairy’s…

376 Playing with Fire (2) The moment I heard Noah Michel’s name, a certain possibility flashed through my mind. The Marseille dungeon. Mold. Seeds. Eggs. Fire and toxic gas. Noah Michel’s magic. Marie Lambert’s burn scars. I started weighing possibilities and probabilities, then stopped myself. It’s a bad habit. I, of all people, should know there’s no end to it if I just keep thinking. I decided to keep it simple. The reason I came to Europe. The reason Kim Chaemin…

373 Group Project (2) People have many sides. Just look at Noah Michel. The so-called Jewel of Nantes, praised by all, yet what is she trying to do with monsters, humanity, and the fate of the earth? ...Well, I still don’t really know what Noah Michel wants, but let’s set that aside. Someone who seems like a villain to the world might be the best person in the world to their family. No matter how good someone is, they could be the worst parent to their own child. That’s an extreme…

490 Aerial Aquarium (2) Of course, Los Angeles was anything but calm. “Move!!” “E-everyone, please stay calm!” “Are there any planes? Is anything flying right now?!” The airport was in utter chaos. Thanks to emergency landings by nearby aircraft, the air was filled with a jumble of languages. The place was packed so tightly there was barely room to move, with shouts, curses, and screams all blending together. Whether it was because of the crowds or the monster that had…

569 (Extra Story 36) The One We Waited For From the moment Han Taekyung and Alex Hope became trapped in a freshly formed dungeon somewhere in the United States... About a year earlier. Korea, Hunter Training High School, faculty office. It was a spacious, sunlit room. Along the windows, large and small potted plants stood in a row. Anyone with an interest in plants would know that some of them could never bloom in the same season, but none of the people currently in the office paid any…

440 Hunter and Teacher (5) After Daniel’s statement, no one in the conference room found it easy to speak. I glanced around, wondering if I had somehow misunderstood. Even Kim Chaemin and Gamble, who had been carrying on an engineering discussion I couldn’t follow just moments before, fell silent. Even Hong Seokyoung was blinking in confusion, his mouth open in a dumbfounded expression. So… That is to say… If he meant physical removal… “It’s a tricky method, but for now,…

273 Prophet (4) “All right, then.” —Ah, you still have more? What are you so curious about? “You told me to ask everything earlier, didn’t you?” Alex Hope shuddered in mock exasperation, but still waved his hand as if to say, go ahead. “You said earlier that the king is a Prophet.” —Yeah. “Then what happened to the original… the king from the past? Is he still around?” —That’s… Hope scratched his head. —No. Not anymore. The current… the king…

291 To-Do (4) “I met a weird man today.” During dinner, Woo I-rok spoke up, as if suddenly remembering something. “A weird man?” “Yeah. You know the name I used back when I was at the orphanage, before you came to get me?” Park Jeongmin. A name I’d rather not remember. As I frowned, I-rok mimicked me, narrowing his brow as well. The kid’s already picking up on things. “He kept calling out that name.” “You didn’t answer, did you?” “What do you take me…
