    • by Cristae — 506 In a Dream (1) Even in the chilling scene of dead fish eyes spinning round and round, there was something good about it. For one, it wasn’t all that disgusting. No, it was creepy, of course. But the eyes, floating and spinning lazily behind Michel’s back, were within the normal range by dungeon standards. I hated bugs more. Those giant centipede-like things. “Keep going!” Father shouted as he moved to avoid the dust. At his command, we scattered. I climbed up onto a bookshelf.…
    • by Cristae — 486 Sinking Swamp (2) The so-called safe and promising method that Gamble presented with such gravity was— “Teacher!” —astonishingly, a living being. A human, standing on two feet, speaking, thinking, and even using magic. “Teacher, are you going to stay at school now?” Not just one, but two. Park Seohyun and Choi Jinwoo rushed over, brimming with excitement. It didn’t feel like I’d been away from school for long, yet they seemed to have grown so much in the…
    • by Cristae — 432 The Mist of Mont Saint-Michel (5) The past of Nicolas de Funès. Mont Saint-Michel Dungeon, also known as “the Library.” Fifth floor. No one knows how many died. No one knows how many survived. All you can do is run through the darkness, not even knowing what you’re doing—like a moth drawn to a flame. His breath caught at his chin. It felt as if his heart would burst from his throat. Since his Awakening, since he could proudly call himself a Hunter, he had never been…
    • by Cristae — 362 New Employee (4) Hope looked quite different now that he was human. It wasn’t as if he’d suddenly started walking around with “human” written across his forehead, but he had dyed his hair jet black. That alone changed his whole aura. The previously flashy, multicolored hair had given him a somewhat frivolous image, but with black hair, he looked unexpectedly cold. Maybe it was because he sat there quietly, without his usual smile. His hair, grown long while he slept, was now neatly…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 127: The Second Day of Safe Day Opening his personal panel, Qi Yu saw that, true to the promise of a safe holiday, the weather was exceptionally mild. He walked to the edge of his territory and looked out—after a month of freezing rain, all the dampness and the icicles hanging from the trees had vanished. The Forest of Stars had returned to how it looked during the newbie period: beautiful and tranquil. Qi Yu opened the regional channel and was surprised to find that many…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 68: Positioning Teleportation Scroll In the time that followed, Qi Yu found three more wooden treasure chests and two refined iron chests. And around each chest, there were no mutated creatures at all. This was a bit abnormal. Qi Yu grew increasingly suspicious—could today really be a “benefit day” granted by the Survival Game to the players? That was, until he encountered another flock of Rain Swallows. This time, there was no Rain Swallow Leader among them, and their target…
    • by Cristae — 73A New Life Outside the farm, the crowd waited in the forest, luggage in hand.The eligible players gathered in small clusters among the trees; the labor players, organized by Lin Qiushui and Wang Wen, assembled with their belongings in a single place for safety. With nowhere else to go, Liang Qingshuang and the rest squatted at the very front of the gate, unable to resist peeking in now and then, craning their necks in anticipation. Creak. At last, the farm gate slowly swung open. The…
    • by Cristae — 550 (Hunter Academy Side Story 17) Human and Monster_1 “Aaaugh…” Alex twisted his stiff body. Even after stretching as usual, the heavy gear made it impossible to feel refreshed. All black clothing, a bulletproof vest, heavy boots, thick gloves—there was more, too. They’d explained what all the equipment was for when they issued it, but honestly, he couldn’t remember half of it. In any case, there were legal and identity issues, so he’d been told to always wear the gear during…
    • by Cristae — 485 Sinking Swamp (1) November 30th. Hailey Lawton was dead. There was still debate over whether it was truly Hailey Lawton or Luise Kruger, since Hailey Lawton had been a real person as well. But this was easily resolved. Hailey Lawton had family. A DNA test conclusively proved that the Hailey Lawton of Cactus Mirage was, in fact, Luise Kruger. Lawton’s family raised a huge commotion, demanding to know what had happened to their Hailey, but that was another matter—one for the American…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 117: He Really Pulled It Off. So Dan Xingyu made the decision himself: “Then I’ll just call you ‘brother.’” He added mischievously, “Can’t let the players from your region guess who you are at a glance—that would ruin the fun.” Qi Yu asked, “And you?” Dan Xingyu was completely double-standard at this moment: “Everyone in my region calls me ‘Second God.’ If you don’t mind how it sounds, you can call me that too.” Qi Yu was puzzled. “Aren’t you…
    • by Cristae — 333 Report Smuggling to 125 (1) May 30, 2022. Busan Port. 2:49 a.m. Countless containers were stacked high, forming walls like a fortress. There were lights, but they couldn’t fully illuminate the spaces between the containers. There were people working late—security guards and others—but compared to broad daylight, blind spots were inevitable. It was the perfect time for anyone who wanted to avoid being seen. Two shadows moved through the darkness. The many CCTV cameras were…
    • by Cristae — 564 (Extra Story 31) Stars That Shine Together_3 Park Seohyun will become a great mage. Woo Huijae had declared it—not as a hope based on her potential, but with certainty. ‘She will become a great mage.’ Woo Huijae was not a mage. Sandra had once wondered how he could be so sure, especially since Kim Chaemin was standing beside him when he said it. Sandra had glanced at her suspiciously, but Chaemin had only smiled. Sandra herself was not a mage, so she’d thought it was something…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 174: Watching Fireworks Qi Yu looked at the Silver Exploration Chest and the Reputation Blind Box that had appeared in his backpack, feeling more motivated than ever. He didn’t rush to open them—there were still important things to do. The float moved forward slowly. He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but it seemed that even more people had gathered below to watch than before. After a moment’s thought, Qi Yu tapped his staff lightly, and once again a pure white…
    • by Cristae — 378 Girl of Dreams (1) ‘Her? She’s just annoying and a pain to deal with.’ Alex Hope never hesitated to offer his testimony about Noah Michel. It was less testimony and more like a coworker’s complaint—in fact, to be blunt, it was just gossip. And the content, well... it was childish whining, perfectly in line with Hope’s mental age. She annoyed him, she bothered him, that sort of thing. There was some subjectivity mixed in, but Hope was the only one who personally knew Noah…
    • by Cristae — “Who told you you could only sleep for one hour?” At these words, the group fell into a moment of mutual bewilderment. Wasn’t the allotted sleep period in the Abyss something they had figured out long ago? The teammates began murmuring among themselves—was the little doctor really all right after making it back alive? Could his mind have been affected? Yan Cheng lounged against the open tent, making no effort to struggle, simply turning his head to look at him. Suddenly, Ye Xianqing…
    • by Cristae — Let us set aside the new players for now, how they had scrambled to the front and devoured their meals ravenously in the dining hall… As for Si Zhiyan, he landed within the newly formed terrain of the farm. The lava terrain lay on the southwestern edge of the farm, merging gradually from the lush green meadows into a stretch of crimson rock. Molten magma flowed slowly in the crevices between the stones. This area was not large, situated close to the industrial zone and still carrying a certain…
    • by Cristae — 327 Return Home (1) After that, Kang Taewoo didn’t say another word. I can’t say I wasn’t curious what he was thinking, but for now, I left him alone. Let’s focus on the bright side. At least he hadn’t tried sneaking into the infirmary, nor had he gone looking for the old lab. Of course, at this strange school where there were more teachers than students, sneaking into the isolated infirmary would be a challenge for kids with their current abilities. The lab in the abandoned…
    • by Cristae — What happened after that night, Si Zhiyan could hardly remember. Bian Xu was too young, like a wild creature brimming with vitality. His embrace was scorching and warm, calling out Si Zhiyan’s name in confusion and sobs, devouring him bit by bit. He was feeding—bodies and flesh entwined, souls as well. Si Zhiyan laughed in the pauses between gasps for air, tilting his head back, his misted eyes staring at the ceiling, arms wrapped around Bian Xu’s golden head, buried at his neck. After a…
    • by Cristae — 566 (Extra Story 33) The Wicked Lamb_1 A small chandelier with bulbs glowed softly overhead. In its gentle light, the pale yellow wallpaper shimmered warmly. The cupboards, refrigerator, and oven filling the kitchen were all a pretty yellow, matching the wallpaper as if part of a set. Though the years and the touch of their owners had left their marks, everything was so well cared for that it was easy to imagine how it must have looked when new. The woman who had tended to this home pulled a…
    • by Cristae — 571 (Extra Story 38) Summoning_2 The trees were so densely packed it was almost impossible to see the sky. At first glance, it looked like a coniferous forest, but anyone with a sharp eye would quickly notice these weren’t trees they’d ever seen before. There was something oddly off about the shapes of the trees, and the sky overhead was filled with stars like a night sky. Yet the forest cast not a single shadow, which made it clear what this place was. A dungeon. Blue light shimmered…
