329 Return Home (3) Imi-seon sent word of Hong Seokyeong’s return far too late. When I looked at him with an incredulous face and asked when he’d told her, Hong Seokyeong scratched his head sheepishly. “At the airport?” “…Which airport?” “……” He hesitated for a long while before answering. I could pretty much guess what he’d say. “Incheon?” “……” This guy, honestly. I’d expected as much, but that didn’t make it any less annoying. Hong…

382 Girl of Dreams (5) Thirty minutes ago. The Grand Conference was proceeding in a relaxed atmosphere. According to Alain Richard, there hadn’t been a conference this peaceful in years. In fact, he said it was the first time he’d seen one like this. European mages, huh... Well, I can’t say I was surprised. I’d been curious to see what kind of train wreck might unfold. But I knew why things had turned out this way, instead of the disaster I’d half-expected. Was it because of…

467 Cactus Flower (3) Despite the fact that there was a guild in charge of managing the dungeon, there were several reasons why the conquest of the Mole Dungeon had been handed over to us. First. Because of what happened in San Francisco, the anxiety of the citizens and the politicians facing an upcoming election… Well, that’s been mentioned enough times already. Second. The chronic manpower shortage plaguing America ever since the Yellowstone dungeon break, as Daniel revealed inside the…

532 The Human’s Child (6) I set down the documents that the Da-seon hunter had carefully delivered. Tati’s dungeon had closed. It wasn’t a surprise; if anything, it was surprising it had lasted this long. The last time I saw that dungeon, that fairy had been on the verge of death. The photo Tati gave me. Father said he’d keep helping. With the data Michelle left behind, if we combed through the remaining labs, we’d find some clue. I’d accepted my brother’s death long…

265 Tati (4) “Does your species have the concept of family?” <Huh?> “How do I even explain this… Do you give birth to offspring? Or are you born from eggs? …I guess I shouldn’t think in human terms. Maybe you just sprout from the ground.” <Heejae?> “No, no. Tati, is there someone who gave birth to you?” <Me… um?> A whole storm passed as I tried to explain the concept of “giving birth.” Fortunately, Tati understood without much…

381 Girl of Dreams (4) A rose that absorbs magic. Kim Chaemin even showed me data on what happened when she transplanted the rose into contaminated soil. Just a single rose. It didn’t have a dramatic impact on the polluted land, but you could see with the naked eye that the ground, which had turned unnatural colors like factory wastewater, had regained a bit of its original hue. “It depends on the type of contamination, but it definitely worked on land tainted by monster poison or magic.…

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…

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…

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?…

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…

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…

565 (Extra Story 32) The Monster’s Lair Kansas, USA. A quiet stretch of highway. A battered old car rattled along the empty road, then rolled to a stop. The engine sputtered and died. From the driver’s seat, a young man in sunglasses stepped out. Dressed in a shabby jumper, he scratched his head and lifted his phone high, moving it around in search of a signal. Soon, another person climbed out from the passenger seat. A small-framed young man with a cap pulled low stretched his arms…

400 The Path of Learning (5) …… I looked at my phone. No sooner had I checked my messages than new ones arrived in quick succession. The following messages were all photos. Dozens of them. Pictures of two elementary schoolers in adorable aprons, covered in flour. The last photo was of them holding the finished cookies. Cat-shaped, rabbit-shaped, each cookie decorated with crooked, cute faces. I smiled as I looked at Uirok with chocolate smeared on his cheek. Whatever had happened…

397 The Path of Learning (2) ‘Get inside the classroom!’ ‘Don’t come out!’ ‘Hurry!!’ The commands were sharp and firm. There was no time to ask what was happening. Woo Hee-jae dashed out to the field, Kim Chaemin following in his wake. Still, those stern words were enough to make her hesitate and head for the classroom, where the Hunters from Dasun approached. They repeated the same warning. ‘Don’t come outside.’ The school staff gathered as well—nurses,…

568 (Extra Story 35) The Wicked Lamb_3 “Nathan’s already finished the repairs?” Christopher, who lived next door to the sheriff, feigned indifference but was clearly interested in news about the young men. “What about those boys?” “They’re at Nathan’s place.” In truth, Christopher Lehmann wasn’t the only one interested. Everyone in town was curious about the rare outsiders. During the week that Young and Sandy had helped in the garden, how many neighbors had found excuses…

366 Invitation (2) “What did you say?” Im Miseon, summoned to Yangseong High on urgent business, frowned the moment she arrived. I sympathized with her. Where else would Im Miseon have ever had to play the role of errand-runner, coming whenever she was called and doing whatever was asked? Wherever she went, she was treated with respect—and deservedly so. She wasn’t exactly “ordinary,” but if the youngest daughter of one of the world’s leading conglomerates had wanted to live a…

371 The Mages of Marseille (3) Alain Richard turned out to be a better person than I expected. Kim Chaemin, beside me, looked exasperated. “Isn’t your opinion changing a little too easily?” “There are no bad people among those who love the arts…” Except there were plenty of rotten people, including the one who once stiffed me on payment. “Not that there aren’t any, but he doesn’t seem like someone with ill intentions.” “Did you enjoy the show?” I hesitated…

372 Group Project (1) “It was a C-rank dungeon.” Fortunately, Alain Richard only panicked at first—he calmed down quickly. Maybe it was because Kim Chaemin was there. Not just anyone, but an archmage. There must have been a certain faith that, at the very least, his life would be safe... Well, it wasn’t just Richard. Other mages began to gather quietly around Kim Chaemin. “It wasn’t a particularly dangerous dungeon, but still...” The sirens were blaring, and something…

292 Magic Lamp (1) “Wahahahaha!!!!!” Han Taekyung burst into laughter, bound tightly by Kim Chaemin’s magic. I had no idea what he found so amusing. My head was already starting to ache. “Huh? You want to know what that monster is?” Han Taekyung looked around at the vines Kim Chaemin had conjured, as if he found them entertaining. Compared to when she’d restrained Hope, this magic seemed almost playful, but the way he laughed made it all the more irritating. Kim Chaemin…

367 The Anchor of Toulon (1) “They replied?” Toulon, a port city in southeastern France. “From where? Who sent it? Are they going to help with the raid? When?” “Calm down and come over here.” “I thought everyone was ignoring us, but I guess they did check. That’s a relief. At least they can read.” The guild Anchor of Toulon, based in this city on the Mediterranean coast. A young man burst into the guild office, making a fuss. “It’s been almost a year, right?…
