    • by Cristae Hyewon sipped her coffee. The warm aroma of the beans helped calm her nerves. She took another sip and looked ahead. A large TV screen was in view. Geometric patterns floated on the display. The voice from the TV sounded exactly like the altered voice of the person who had claimed to be Yuseong’s secretary. “…I have lots. I don’t even know where to begin, there’s so much to ask.” Messiah. The A.I. who had introduced itself was there, beyond that TV. An A.I. that could…
    • by Cristae Yuseong was a celebrity—so much so that it was harder to find someone who didn’t know him. The origin of that fame, of course, was Arc. To be famous in Arc, which absorbed all aspects of this world’s culture, was equivalent to being a top actor, athlete, or artist from the pre-Arc era. Although the scale of recognition was incomparably greater. Still, that was just within the realm of hobbies. Some were too busy in their own lives to pay much attention to Arc; others were absorbed in what…
    • by Cristae Episode 271 "A bus? You’re saying you’ll carry us?" "That’s right, Mr. Mad Hammer. It’s not such a bad proposal for you. Your stats became a mess after your levels dropped anyway." When one’s level goes down, stats are randomly reduced by the amount of bonus points previously gained and invested through leveling up. That’s why their current stats were a shambles. Of course, this also affected their combat ability. Willy and his group had some of the top physical stats in Arc, so…
    • by Cristae Episode 272 "Just one day left now." "This damned ordeal is finally ending!" Willy and Mad Hammer spoke loud enough to be heard. "Thank you for your efforts. Just don’t forget to do your best for the one day left. Please don’t look at me like that. It’s a contract we agreed on as equals, after all. And I’m giving you these bonuses as well." Yuseong handed rare items to Willy. "I’m not that grateful. You’re definitely going to gain more from what we did." ‘That’s true.…
    • by Cristae "You're going to destroy Arc?" When Messiah first explained the plan to defeat Hades, Yuseong couldn't help being surprised. "But it's not easy to kill him even inside the game. So, you want to blow up Arc entirely to kill him. Is that what I'm understanding?" Yuseong stopped to collect his thoughts. "First of all, if you just delete the game, will that really hurt him?" "But for that to happen, he's got to stay logged in, right?" "And I'm the only one who can keep him…
    • by Cristae "Ugh!" He almost let out a groan from the intense pain, but Yuseong suppressed it. If he didn’t, he might accidentally spit out the potion he was holding in his mouth. He slowly forced the potion down his throat. Even swallowing was torture, since there wasn’t a single part of his body that wasn’t injured. Waves of pain shot up his esophagus as the potion went down. Fortunately, the potion started to work almost immediately, dulling the pain slightly. But he was only able to hold a small…
    • by Cristae ‘Avatar Materialization’ was, just as the name implied, an ability that brought his avatar’s powers into reality. The stronger his in-game avatar became, the stronger Yuseong became in the real world. There was, of course, a reason Yuseong strove to keep growing stronger in the game—not just to become more powerful there, but to maximize the use of 'Avatar Materialization'. ‘Annoying that there’s a time limit, though.’ That’s why he’d put off using it for as long as possible…
    • by Cristae Episode 276 Hades’s words were clearly heard by Yuseong as well. ‘A monster….’ He never expected to be called that by a monster. But that didn’t mean Yuseong’s actions would change. They weren’t in a relationship to pity each other, and there was nothing to be gained from burning with hatred now. The emotions he had burned for a moment earlier were enough. It was better to end it here, so he would never be threatened again. Hades, who had been looking up at Yuseong in…
    • by Cristae Episode 277 Yuseong was looking at a clock. Not his portable computer, but an ordinary clock made in this world. According to Messiah, it was said to be an extremely expensive item. But he added that compared to his original portable computer, it was nothing. The long second hand slowly moved toward 12. Tick! It pointed to 12, then passed it. Nothing happened. ‘That’s a relief.’ It was really just a faint concern. Thankfully, nothing like being bounced back to the other world…

      by Cristae Episode 216 “I told you it was beef. Beef! Professor Garcia!” “…Did your personality really change?” Before Professor Garcia’s gaze could turn to contempt, Professor Parcelet hurriedly and urgently explained what had just happened. Then, Professor Garcia’s expression also changed. “Really? That’s amazing!” “Why are you reacting like that?” Professor Parcelet was slightly taken aback. The other’s reaction was too mild. “Ah… Sorry.” Professor Garcia…
    • Episode 217 Cover
      by Cristae Alright. Go get ready. By the way, you’d better prepare to camp inside the dungeon as well. “No way… Principal…” Taking advantage of the students being at a loss for words, the skull principal quickly pressed on. The students, forcibly kicked out of the classroom, stood around staring at each other. “What should we do?” “What do you mean… We have to get ready.” “I-is it really a dungeon? It can’t be that bad, right?” Someone murmured hopefully, but no answer…
    • Episode 218 Cover
      by Cristae Gulp, gulp— Once they secured drinking water, the Blue Dragon Tower students looked around with slightly relieved expressions. The human mind is fickle—once their immediate thirst was solved, their moods shifted too. Just moments ago, they were thinking, ‘What crime did I commit to end up at a school like this?’ but now they were having thoughts like, ‘Maybe it’s not so bad having these experiences with my friends.’ A few students sat on a dry rocky hill, gazing at the…
    • Episode 219 Cover
      by Cristae The friends were flustered, but Lee Han remained calm. It was never personal feelings—he was acting on solid reasoning. ‘Without Deorgyu, the White Tiger Tower guys will never cooperate with me. If anything, they’ll just make a fuss. In a situation like this, if they make a fuss, they could attract the Rock Drake’s attention.’ Yoner tilted his head at that explanation. “But couldn’t we just leave them alone…” “Let’s go.” “……” Lee Han amplified the…
    • Episode 220 Cover
      by Cristae Contrary to the White Tiger Tower students’ misunderstanding, Lee Han had not the slightest intention of taking down the Rock Drake. Knowing the Rock Drake’s toughness, there was no way he’d do something so reckless. ‘I’ll lure it away.’ There was no need to fight head-on, nor just give up and run. Lure it away. This is exactly why wizards are considered top-tier personnel wherever they go—because of their flexibility. Other adventurers would have to risk their lives…
    • by Cristae Episode 221 The White Tiger Tower student who had been beside Lee Han the whole way kept proposing hypotheses. -In my opinion, Wardanaz wasn’t swept away and dragged off; Wardanaz chased after the Rock Drake to catch it. Of course, it was such an extreme and radical hypothesis that even Gainando from the Blue Dragon Tower didn’t accept it. -Isn’t he just pretending because he doesn’t want to go help those bastards? -N-no! “What did I say! What did I say, huh?!” “Di… did…

      by Cristae “Wardanaz really is amazing.” Even the Blue Dragon Tower students, who were used to Lee Han’s remarkable feats, whispered in surprise. Unlocking the lock was one thing, but how did he do it so instantly? “Your Highness? Your Highness?” When Neblen of the Kirak Family called again, Adenart finally came to her senses. The princess apologized, looking sorry. “No, I was just wondering how he opened it. I’ll ask him later.” While Neblen said that, Gainando shook the…
    • Episode 223 Cover
      by Cristae Even so, Lee Han controlled the fire as carefully as possible. If a fire really broke out in the library, the skull headmaster might seriously carry out a burning at the stake. Whoosh! Concentrated flames appeared throughout the narrow passage. They were only large enough to burn the back of a hand, but considering the destructive power of the fire element, even this was enough. ‘Making the flames any bigger would just make them harder to control.’ The flames darted through the…
    • Episode 224 Cover
      by Cristae Anyway, next time try going in alone… Listen to the whole thing before you leave! As Lee Han walked away, the skull headmaster grumbled and shouted. “Please understand, Headmaster. I heard he defeated all those Shade Wraiths. Of course he’s tired.” Professor Garcia, who arrived late, spoke up for Lee Han, and the skull headmaster became indignant. You don’t even know what you’re talking about! It’s because you didn’t see it yourself that you say that…! Professor Garcia, do…
    • Episode 225 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 225 The next morning. The Blue Dragon Tower students headed to the lounge with haggard faces. They had managed to find out which lectures would have pop quizzes by thoroughly questioning the undead… …but in truth, nothing much had changed. After all, it was still the students who had to study. There were so many lectures, and most of them had pop quizzes—what could they do? They had no choice but to stay up all night studying. “…Wait a second. Lee Han. What are you…

      by Cristae Whether Lee Han felt wronged or not, Professor Voladi continued speaking as if admonishing him. “The Rock Drake is not a monster you’re supposed to be fighting right now.” ‘Then does that mean the Demon Ghoul is a monster I should be fighting now?’ Lee Han swallowed his words inside. It was all the more annoying since it was the person who had forced him to fight the Demon Ghoul talking like that. “As I said before, impatience can ruin a wizard.” “Yes. I…
