    • by Cristae Chapter 199: Too Loud The essence of this instance was, in truth, the monsters that appeared within it. His pet notification panel hadn’t updated since before entering this scenario. Evidently, as long as he and Qi Feng were in the same instance, the system wouldn’t report on one another’s statuses. But come to think of it, he hadn’t once seen this instance’s monster for himself—what exactly was going on? The building continued to thunder with that rhythmic pounding, tremors running…
    • by Cristae Episode 193 ‘No, no, no.’ It wasn’t quite a crash and bang. It was just… just… “Wah, wah?” “What was that?” “Huh? No…!” I swallowed back my confusion. The sudden contact of our hands was driving me to madness. ‘Mother.’ It felt as if I were falling endlessly somewhere, spinning round and round. What am I going to do. ‘Right now…’ I might be on the verge of tumbling deeply into something. The next day. The procession…
    • by Cristae Episode 205 Khalid was perched atop his horse. A long procession was leaving the ducal residence, heading toward the imperial palace. People who recognized the crest on the carriage each paid their respects, bowing their heads or prostrating themselves on the ground. Some betrayed their curiosity about the princess presumed to be riding inside. Kal stayed alert, sharpening his senses as he guarded the surroundings, wary of any potential threat. “Ugh, it’s getting chilly.” A…
    • by Cristae 270“Oh my, oh my… Goodness, whoa! Coming in so suddenly like this—oho! This is just too entertaining. So?” Allen, his expression shifting in a flash, threw his arm around Khalid’s shoulders and pressed him roughly. “What does leaving for the front have to do with a confession?” “Ha. Get lost, you smell like a Mister.” “I’m not a Mister!” Allen exploded, and Khalid regarded him impassively. Just then, Khalid’s eyes fell on the mercenary corps insignia protruding…
    • by Cristae 184. “Before Seraphy became head of the Validus family…” Luni began, then abruptly closed her mouth and beckoned Orkis and Karl over with a vigorous wave. She asked them, “Would it be fair to call it worse than garbage?” “Wasn’t it even lower than that?” Karl replied. “That’s true, but isn’t that a little too blunt…” Luni said, sounding half-apologetic. The three of them held their discussion more earnestly than ever. “……” Having heard it all, Seraphy…
    • by Cristae 251 Chapter: Find Mephisto!On Groo met the gaze of golden eyes staring down at him. His confusion at this unfamiliar appearance lasted only for a moment. “Shea…” As Bailach quietly spoke his name, On Groo’s heart dropped. Shea—the name of the Master of the 99th Floor. ‘Is that Dad? No, it can’t be…’ Thump. Thump. His heart began pounding wildly. Had his glove failed, leading to the worst-case scenario after all? Just then, Bailach spoke, overcoming Shea’s…
    • by Cristae 151. After working so hard for a year to improve the relationship between Peonia and Lilia, it turned out that the real mastermind behind the uprising was the Crown Prince. ‘I can’t even trust the original story anymore.’ Even if the banquet passed without incident, there was no telling what that deranged killer might do. ‘Could it be that what happened at the banquet wasn’t even the cause of the rebellion?’ Felikia and X already had more than enough reasons to revolt. That…
    • by Cristae Episode 197 The mage, somewhat flustered, spoke with a face full of emotion. “Th-thank you, Your Excellency.” “I told you to come at once.” “Pardon?” Just like that? Leaving the bewildered mage behind, Leviathan turned to Leon as scripted. “Leon.” And just as planned, Leon vanished from sight. Only a moment passed. “Oh, goddess!” Rubian entered the cabin, following the script. Her hair thoroughly disheveled, her clothes in disarray—she looked, by…
    • by Cristae 296 Before long, the children of the Chick class gathered cozily in front of the screen to watch the video, and a tidal wave began to approach them. ‘Fortunately, they don't seem too scared.’ If the children started squealing in fear because of the 4D effects, the plan could fall apart. But instead, the kids were fascinated and amused. Gru's face turned bright red with excitement as she took turns exclaiming to the friends on either side of her. Confirming this, Kwon Riyeong glanced…
    • by Cristae Ch. 1 “Hey.” At the sharp call, the child lifted their head. Covered in dirt and dust, the child was rummaging through a corpse’s pockets. “Are you hungry?” Leviathan asked. Instead of replying, the child’s blue eyes rolled searchingly. Though it looked like they wanted to say they were hungry, their expression was guarded. ‘A wise choice.’ No matter how hungry you are, you shouldn’t run up to strangers—absolutely not. Then again, rifling through the pockets…
    • by Cristae Episode 221 Khalid stared impassively at the blocked cave exit. “They’re taking too long.” Leon muttered at his side. They had questioned the villagers nearby and managed to find this alternate exit from the cliffside cave. The problem was that this exit, too, was blocked by rocks—perhaps due to the earlier explosion. They were running out of options. “Hurry up!” At Leon’s shout, the Zevert knights rushed to carry away rocks and stones. Kal gripped the reins…
    • by Cristae 205 She couldn't put her finger on who, but among the crowd, there was an unpleasant gaze fixed on her. Romi sharpened her eyes without thinking, then caught herself—she was in front of the cameras—and smoothed her expression. ‘…Am I still on edge from that incident?’ Romi recalled the day her former agency’s president paid her a visit. During her idol trainee days, that man had ruined her self-esteem, then denied her a debut. Now he’d resurfaced, bragging about how well his…
    • by Cristae 70 Jingle, jingle! “Correct!” The cheerful sound of the bell filled the cave, and Sortie grinned, exclaiming, “I got it right!” “But do Abelita herbs really have pointy leaves? I can never tell…” I puffed up my chest with pride. “There’s a trick to recognizing them. If you visit the ducal estate later, I’ll show you myself.” “Wow!” “Rubian, you really know so much.” Olivia admired me with pure wonder. The children sat in a circle by the…
    • by Cristae 169. ‘What in the world is this feeling…?’ It wasn’t simply the confusion of having a would-be stepfather who was the same age as her lover. She had already vented most of that awkwardness when she pulled at that guy’s hair. What was age, after all? If anything, her mother deserved praise for her boldness. Yet Seraphie still found herself ill at ease. She wanted to graciously accept her mother’s romance, but this vague unease would not disappear. “Sir Felikia, your…
    • by Cristae 93 As soon as I entered the maze garden’s entrance, the fresh scent of greenery filled the air. “Wow, it’s huge. And so wide.” The walls, made suitably low for children, didn’t feel intimidating. I strolled leisurely at first, then gradually picked up my pace. Since I was here, I might as well escape quickly and impress my family! Just then, the bushes beside the path rustled, and a familiar squirrel popped out. “Oh! Squirrel! Did you come to help me?” The sight of…
    • by Cristae Episode 118 ‘Mister Maddix?’ “I’m heading home for the day!” She darted out the shop’s back door with a whoosh. At the same moment—bang! The door flew open. “Asha!” The blacksmith, his long green hair tied back anyhow, flexed his impressive, sinewy muscles as always. “Mister Maddix!” It had been a while since I’d seen him. I hurried over to greet him. His bushy eyebrows danced. “Miss Ruby? Long time no see.” “What brings you here……
    • by Cristae Episode 195 “My biological father?!” Bang! Balok didn't hold back. “Please calm down.” “Is this something to calm down about?!” Leviathan clicked his tongue lightly as he stared at the wall, now cracked open. “Getting worked up won’t solve anything.” For the first time in a long while, the three elders of the ducal house were gathered in the large parlor. A small bundle lay on the table. Partially unwrapped, it revealed an old portrait, an equally worn baby…
    • by Cristae Episode 12 “Wow, look—even Father’s here!” Void lifted the card with the golden border, cradling it as if it were priceless. The look on Mister’s face as he watched was truly something to see… “If you wanted it so much, why didn’t you just buy it yourself?” At my offhand question, Void turned his head away. “This is only sold in the capital for a limited period. You can’t get it in the North.” “You could’ve written to the Duke and asked him to get it for…
    • by Cristae 194. “My goodness, how much everything has changed.” The Matron of Validus looked around the Validus estate, so different from what she remembered, and was filled with wonder. The Validus estate she remembered was a nightmare. Her former husband's abuse and violence, shattered bottles, her daughter beaten in her place, the listless servants, and the wilted, lifeless garden. She once thought she’d only leave this place in death. “……” Her hand, touching the bright columns…
    • by Cristae 192“Wow, you’re really big. I mean—” Rubian murmured, tugging at the oversized jacket. “It feels like I’m wearing Dad’s. But why did you come?” She sat on the large sofa and asked. Kal pulled over a blanket and wrapped it around her before finally allowing himself to breathe. “I didn’t think you’d be asleep.” “Ah… I’m busy.” Rubian glanced toward the table. It was cluttered with formulas and all manner of books. It didn’t look as if she had any…
