    • by Cristae — Chapter 203: The Giant Mental manipulation was a nebulous concept—intangible and invisible, barely believable if mentioned out loud. Yet, Yan Jiyun’s understanding of its mechanisms proved that it could divert the minds of those tainted by spiritual pollution. Before them stretched utter darkness, and they prepared as best they could to leave the confines of the mall. Only by stepping outside this framework could they hope to find the truth. Yan Jiyun stood with Qi Feng, together plunging into…
    • by Cristae — 235 Jewel Rune (1) Hong Seok-young led me deeper into the building. From the entrance, the building hadn’t looked very large, but as we walked through its interior, it proved to be much more spacious than I’d expected. Perhaps noticing my puzzlement, Hong Seok-young offered an explanation. “It’s an old building, you know. They did some construction in the middle and connected it to the building in the back.” “Isn’t this a building used exclusively by the Association?” “In…
    • by Cristae — 488 Sinking Swamp (4) A few days before returning to Korea. ‘Thinking about it again—’ It was during an in-depth discussion about the title of Savior. When I suggested that it might be a term of derision, everyone fell silent. But that silence was broken by my father, the one most directly involved. ‘Honestly, I don’t think it’s all that important.’ It was hard to believe such words from someone who, just moments before, had looked so utterly exhausted. When our eyes met,…
    • by Cristae — 321 Guardian (1) What Uirok was saying was simple. “It’s awesome!” Uirok, unusually excited, raised his voice. “I want to do it too! Like this!” With a flushed face, he stretched out his arms. The movement was clumsy to the point of absurdity, but it was clear enough what he was trying to imitate. I wiped my face with a dry hand. Yeah… I get it. I understand why he’s suddenly so eager to become a Hunter. Ironically, I too once dreamed of becoming a Hunter at just about…
    • by Cristae — 538 (Hunter Academy Side Story 5) A New Face_2 “Master. They’re asking for some documents from the US.” “Documents? What documents now? Haven’t we already sent enough?!” A voice thick with irritation echoed through the director’s office. “That’s all finished, this time it’s about Mr. Daniel.” “What about him now?” “Honestly?” Despite her superior’s raised voice, the subordinate’s explanation was delivered with an infuriating calm. Lee Mi-seon, chin…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 92: The Magic of the Fishing Rod Qi Yu looked at the wooden lounge chair beneath the parasol. The chair looked so comfortable, as if it carried a certain charm that made one want to sit down without thinking. He thought so, and naturally, he did just that. Once he lay down, Qi Yu realized it was actually a rocking chair. With a gentle push of his feet, his whole body began to sway slightly with the chair. How pleasant. With the prompt from the survival panel, a splashing sound…
    • by Cristae — 507 In a Dream (2) “What did you say?” “Let’s set a fire.” Father offered no further explanation. With those words, he truly began preparing to set the place ablaze. No… Wait, what? I saw Han Taekyung dash beneath the bookshelf at Father’s command, heading toward Kim Chaemin. “……” I followed after Father, sword in hand, with a dumbfounded look on my face. Soon, a signal came from Kim Chaemin through the vines, perhaps after Han Taekyung had spoken to him. Kim…
    • by Cristae — 542 (Hunter Academy Side Story 9) Additional Personnel_1 “All right. So, we’re settled on leaving Lehmann to this Hunter, then? I know Alex wants to be the one to finish him off, but I was wondering how he’d manage it alone… If this Hunter’s involved, I can rest easy.” “Have you actually come to an agreement with the Hunter in question?” “And since we have too many teachers at the school right now, we could send Teacher Han as an extra. From what I saw in America, Teacher Han…
    • by Cristae — Hm? Si Zhiyan’s gaze sharpened slightly. With Gu Ying and Milk Tea’s ghost tale complete—the story of the girl and the cat in the box gap—everything here should be settled. For a second event to suddenly occur, there was really only one possibility: Bian Xu must have triggered something, and successfully resolved it. Si Zhiyan chuckled softly.As expected of his most reliable partner. Back in the day, he himself had genuinely liked Bian Xu greatly. …Even though they’d only been…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 322: The Collapse of the Instance "Did you see that? Did you? That thing on Brother Feng's head isn't a black cat at all—it's a sprawling, green prairie!" "Hahahaha, ever since we found out he was keeping a cat, the whole vibe took a weird turn. He stopped being cool and detached." "My dear Brother Feng, when will my ruthless, efficient dungeon-grinding machine return?" "Actually, switching from a power fantasy to a sweet pet story is pretty entertaining too." "Before Brother Feng…
    • Episode 1181 Cover
      by Cristae — Episode 1181 Lee Han picked up the box containing the cloth that scattered pitch-black darkness after sending his friends ahead. Because he went out several times more than other students, it was inevitable that he would attract the professors' attention. He had to give gifts while he still could. “But this cloth—what is it? It feels like some composite material…” “Right? I don't think it's something sold on the market, so did they take it out with the intention of using something…
    • by Cristae — 301 Future Aspirations (2) Woo Hee-jae straightened up from where he had been leaning against the teacher’s desk. Having set down the other students’ drawings, he approached Soon Soon-jin. Screeech. Woo Hee-jae dragged a nearby chair over. The chair scraped across the floor, making a grating sound that set one’s nerves on edge. Startled, Soon Soon-jin flinched, her shoulders jerking up, and Woo Hee-jae sat down with an apologetic look. “You went to a regular high school for your first…
    • by Cristae — Liang Qingshuang tensed immediately.Instinctively, he gripped the paper cup, taking a step back, then another, letting himself slip behind a row of shelves to hide.Rustle rustle…The shop ceiling’s climate-controlled ventilation blew softly as the bloodstained withered grass quivered, stretching steadily deeper into the store.A couple more turns, and soon Chen Chunsheng would see him.Liang glanced at the clerk—the latter was slouched behind the counter, seemingly intent on building a stick-fort out of…
    • by Cristae — 461 Every Hunters' Nightmare (1) The tiresome bond between hunters and fairies—when did it begin? In truth, no one could say for certain. It simply settled into place, as if it had always been there. Fairies are dangerous. Never enter a dungeon where fairies appear. When killing a fairy, never let your guard down. There are plenty of monsters more dangerous than fairies. Some, quite literally, devour humans, stripping them to the bone; others swallow people whole, leaving not a trace…
    • by Cristae — Si Zhiyan stepped into the forest once more.This time, the farm was entirely free of clouds and fog; the jungle teemed with life, unfurling before his eyes.The farm’s forest was vast—walking its length from end to end took about an hour. The canopy blotted out the sky, with sunlight filtering through gaps in the leaves to scatter across… mushrooms, everywhere.Hm? Mushrooms?Si Zhiyan crouched down and poked at one. The farm system’s prompt soon appeared, identifying each as a different…
    • by Cristae — Triple Protection Before nightfall, the last group of service players finally arrived at the farm. In these past five days, changes had brought new vitality to the areas surrounding the farm. The group of service players now numbered over a hundred, already taking on the shape of a nascent settlement. The defensive works everyone had once excavated together had, under the direction of the blacksmith, been expanded to accommodate more people. Within this small community, several individuals…
    • by Cristae — 256 Jirisan Fairy (2) The mana meter serves many purposes. Because it records the fluctuations of mana at the gate in real time, it’s capable of much more than most people realize. Of course, its primary function is to measure the danger level of a dungeon and prevent dungeon breaks. But that’s not all there is to it. What we need to consider here is: when else do changes in a dungeon’s mana occur? When the dungeon becomes unstable? Then what, exactly, does “unstable” mean? The…
    • by Cristae — 535 (Hunter Academy Side Story 2) Cafeteria_1 Working at the Academy has its clear advantages and disadvantages. For the school nurse, Shin Min-seo, she was thoroughly satisfied with her working environment. “It gets a little lonely out here in the middle of nowhere, but honestly, those Hunters with their stubborn streaks… Oh, I don’t mean you, Hunter Ji.” Shin Min-seo covered her mouth and laughed awkwardly. “Honestly, I’d rather be bored than work at the Seoul office, where the…
    • by Cristae — 512 The Magician’s Child (2) Noah Michel was young. Alex had always insisted on describing Noah Michel that way: capricious, prone to tantrums, fond of fairy tales, and so on and so forth. To be honest, most of this information was hardly appropriate for understanding a magician like Noah Michel. Hong Seok-young never told Alex, but he suspected that most of those judgments came from the fact that “Alex Hope’s” view of Noah Michel was colored by seeing himself in her. The Noah Michel that…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 299: A Fierce Cat at Home At this moment, the two small animals lying before Yan Jiyun and Qi Feng were actually two cats—one white, one orange. The game had treated them rather kindly. Compared to the other players, who had been assigned brown bears, adult pandas, or even snakes and rats as their “small animals,” theirs seemed positively normal. Yan Jiyun had nothing to complain about. Looking across the field of creatures—so many of which belonged only in a zoo—his own animals…
