    • by Cristae — Against the Darkness (1) The snow stopped in the afternoon. Instead of running outside, the vice-captain and the knights gathered in the drawing room. Bakura, the old man, was standing by the window, and everyone was listening to his words. He wet his fingertip with saliva, stuck it out the window and waved it around for a while, then picked up a snowflake piled on the storm window, and finally nodded. "It won’t snow for at least a week now. Go clear the snow." "Thank you, sir." "Well,…
    • by Cristae — He stopped in front of the collapsed Arthur and Kleio. The two boys looked like castaways stranded in the cold. Arthur had tried to save his precious companion Kleio, and Kleio in turn wished for the world Arthur sustained to be safe. "Having someone you would save even at the cost of your own life makes a person both strong and weak." The crown prince bent slightly toward the boys, as if examining something strange. "You completed the double-cast perfectly, so I owe you an answer." Even as…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 304 Yan Jiyun Is Missing The intimacy between Yan Jiyun and Qi Feng had risen from 60 to 80 during the Apex Tournament. It was only a 20-point increase, but now there were only 20 points left until the maximum value of 100—a clear sign that their tacit understanding was deepening. A new skill slot had appeared in their abilities panel. The primary pet system was introduced by the game, likely something Yan Jiyun had set up before he lost his memory. The specifics of its implementation…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 208 As If Blessed by Heaven To the giants, the toy airplane in the shop was just a plaything—but to Yan Jiyun and the others, it was a real, pilotable aircraft. Qi Feng hadn’t pulled Yan Jiyun away because he doubted his ability to fly, but because he preferred to shoulder the risk himself. The toy plane had limited battery life; one slip in control and they could be hurt. One of them needed to operate the plane, while the other stood ready on the ground. Yan Jiyun understood Qi…
    • by Cristae — The format of the message announcing the details of the 'Unique Skill' was familiar, but the content was quite different. What happened afterward was even more so. Bracing himself for the distortion that never became easier no matter how many times he experienced it, Kleio hunched his body. But the collapse and reconstitution of the world did not occur. Instead, the surroundings flickered once, as if a page had turned. Dong—dong— The bell for two o'clock rang. 'Time hasn't been turned…
    • by Cristae — Si Zhiyan picked up two skewers of Japanese charcoal-grilled teriyaki chicken and handed one to Bian Xu. Bian Xu took a bite, his eyes lighting up. “So tender!” Si Zhiyan smiled. “Naturally.” He explained, “The farm doesn’t really have traditional livestock or poultry. The chicken dishes are all made from immature Nightmare Roast Wings, using the mid-joint and drumette meat, so the texture is always fresh and juicy. Fortunately, the pieces from the Nightmare Roast Wings are big enough…
    • by Cristae — What Will You Do Gehaim’s body, once his breath completely ceased, crumbled away without even leaving bones, like a beast’s corpse, and scattered as red dust. Only the bloodstains left on Cleio’s knees and hands seemed to prove Gehaim had ever existed. The three boys were silent for a moment. Behind his glasses, Fran’s gray eyes burned fiercely. “What more do you know about this? You’d better explain it properly.” Cleio, whose aether was worn down to the limit and who looked…
    • by Cristae — 1891 (1) ‘Right, even if I become the one who shakes the protagonist’s mentality, getting entangled in the narrative is still getting entangled. Damn it.’ Arthur used to say, referring to Melchior, ‘That person has about a hundred ways to achieve his will even without using his skill,’ and it was true. Soon, the murderous intent lingering in Arthur’s eyes vanished as if washed away. Arthur himself knew better than Kleio that this was a cheap trick. He’d seen it all his…
    • by Cristae — “Sir.” Everyone respectfully backed away. Shi He lowered his head in a slight bow—without lessening his foot’s pressure on Qi Zhi in the least. Si Zhiyan lifted his chin slightly. Shi He hesitated, then ultimately obeyed, slowly releasing the woman. Wang Jinyu immediately crawled over and clung to Qi Zhi. Yet Qi Zhi did not attempt to escape.She propped herself up, tidied her disheveled hair, remained kneeling on the ground, and raised her head, breathless, to look at Si…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 288: Advancing to the Next Round Qi Feng put the instant noodles back in place. He fixed his gaze for a moment on the NPC slouched on the balcony, his expression filled with obvious dissatisfaction. His brows furrowed into a deep crease; the man’s clothing style was far ahead of its time, the kind Qi Feng had never worn—even at his most disheveled in the game, he’d never looked like this. Aside from that, the only admirable feature was the man’s face, which could be considered handsome…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 242: Uneasy Guilt The three of them slipped through the Cheng estate’s dog door without incident. In the direction of Grandfather Cheng’s quarters, flames roared and smoke billowed high. Servants were desperately shouting as they battled the fire. For a moment, the entire Cheng compound was in chaos. Liu Jingxi felt a surge of satisfaction—justice served. Yet Yan Jiyun’s gaze lingered quietly on Cheng Xueying, but he saw no such satisfaction there. Instead, he caught a trace of…
    • by Cristae — Si Zhiyan counted the money he had on hand and felt it was rather tight. He asked, “What do you want to do?” Gu Ying took a deep breath and bowed. “I… I would also like to rent a room from you.” “To open a café.” Si Zhiyan pondered for a moment, then looked up and said, “That’s a risky venture. Have you thought it through?” Gu Ying nodded. “…Yes, Mr. Si, I’ve thought very carefully about it.” It was clear she was a person with ideas, and her mind was made…
    • by Cristae — Si Zhiyan was just about to retreat when he suddenly slammed on the brakes, forcing himself to halt in place.The minehounds would not go mad without reason; surely, he had triggered some kind of threat to them.…But what was it?The instant the thought occurred to him, Si Zhiyan was struck by a sudden realization:It was the act of withdrawal!He had just been lost in his own reflections, had just finished petting the minehound, and was about to stand up and make a trip back to the farm.It was this subtle…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 298: Raising Small Animals Live Streaming Room: “Hahahahaha, the kitten just scared Qi Feng to death. He’d come over all happy to pick up his cat, and got scared out of his wits by his own.” “No kidding, that cat’s really creepy! Isn’t this even scarier than a supernatural instance?” “Aaaaah! It’s the first time I’ve seen the kitten talk in cat form. It’s too cute, I love it! I just want to know—when can we get a humanoid cat-eared boy lying on the bed, tail…
    • Episode 221 Cover
      by Cristae — Episode 221 The White Tiger Tower student who had been by Lee Han’s side the whole way had persistently put forth a hypothesis. -In my opinion, Wardanaz wasn’t swept away and dragged off. Wardanaz chased after it to catch the Rock Drake. Of course, it was such an extreme and radical hypothesis that even Gainando from Blue Dragon Tower didn’t accept it. -Isn’t he just making excuses so he doesn’t have to go help those bastards? -Ah, no! “What did I say! What did I…
    • by Cristae — Tristain Order of Knights (3) Just because one was caught didn't mean they couldn't make excuses, of course. "Uh, well… it's a bit hard to say. Right before I came here, my brother stopped by the capital, you know? At that time, I happened to see some documents from the investigation department of his company that he brought. If this gets out, my brother will probably hate it, so please just pretend you don't know anything." They were the kind of Aser family members who didn't usually keep in…
    • Episode 420 Cover
      by Cristae — -How fascinating. I wonder what happened here. When the Death Knight murmured with curiosity, the skeletal headmaster made a bones-clacking sound instead of clicking his tongue and spoke. Still not there yet. I figured it out right away. -Is that so? The Death Knight was astonished. To have discerned the secret hidden behind this mysterious scene. He thought his master truly deserved to be called the Empire’s greatest sage. Even the printing guild that produces the Empire’s most…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 285: The NPC Younger Brother Yan Jiyun hadn’t yet seen the end of the dungeon and couldn’t be certain if the zombie storyline would play out as the bullet comments in the livestream suggested. If it were another player tackling the zombie stage, he might not care so much, but this was Qi Feng’s run—he watched every detail, closely. After meeting the woman, there hadn’t been any scenes of Qi Feng and her holding hands. Once they’d rested and found some food to replenish their…
    • by Cristae — Divinely Bestowed Kingship (1) All the luggage that everyone had helped carry in was left just as it was in the bedroom. The long box was at the very bottom. ‘Looks like the kids stacked things like this.’ “Arthur. See the longest box over there? On the floor.” “Yeah.” “Take that out for me.” “You called me over with so much meaning just to make me work….” “I’ll do it.” “No, Isiel. Just stay put.” Arthur knelt and easily moved the luggage aside,…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 241: Setting Fire The plot progression in this new scenario was maddeningly slow. At this pace, if it were adapted into a television drama, it could easily run for seventy or eighty episodes, spanning several generations. But Yan Jiyun only had eight days—he had already wasted one, leaving him just seven days to truly explore the scenario, and now the fourth day was almost upon him. The next three days would be critical. Accustomed as he was to fast-paced narratives, this slower rhythm was…
