    • by Cristae — 490 Aerial Aquarium (2) Of course, Los Angeles was anything but calm. “Move!!” “E-everyone, please stay calm!” “Are there any planes? Is anything flying right now?!” The airport was in utter chaos. Thanks to emergency landings by nearby aircraft, the air was filled with a jumble of languages. The place was packed so tightly there was barely room to move, with shouts, curses, and screams all blending together. Whether it was because of the crowds or the monster that had…
    • by Cristae — 569 (Extra Story 36) The One We Waited For From the moment Han Taekyung and Alex Hope became trapped in a freshly formed dungeon somewhere in the United States... About a year earlier. Korea, Hunter Training High School, faculty office. It was a spacious, sunlit room. Along the windows, large and small potted plants stood in a row. Anyone with an interest in plants would know that some of them could never bloom in the same season, but none of the people currently in the office paid any…
    • by Cristae — 440 Hunter and Teacher (5) After Daniel’s statement, no one in the conference room found it easy to speak. I glanced around, wondering if I had somehow misunderstood. Even Kim Chaemin and Gamble, who had been carrying on an engineering discussion I couldn’t follow just moments before, fell silent. Even Hong Seokyoung was blinking in confusion, his mouth open in a dumbfounded expression. So… That is to say… If he meant physical removal… “It’s a tricky method, but for now,…
    • by Cristae — 273 Prophet (4) “All right, then.” —Ah, you still have more? What are you so curious about? “You told me to ask everything earlier, didn’t you?” Alex Hope shuddered in mock exasperation, but still waved his hand as if to say, go ahead. “You said earlier that the king is a Prophet.” —Yeah. “Then what happened to the original… the king from the past? Is he still around?” —That’s… Hope scratched his head. —No. Not anymore. The current… the king…
    • by Cristae — Something was wrong. Si Zhiyan leaned against the headboard, opening the system’s notebook. Dense lines of text appeared, methodically cataloging every bubble that had surfaced in the void. Some of the bubbles were marked as key; within these, many could expand into further records—contents Si Zhiyan had already reviewed. Si Zhiyan picked up his pen and crossed out the entry for . From the moment he was able to enter the void’s bubbles, Si Zhiyan had been seeking the answer to a single question:…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 165 Boss, Whatever You Do Will Succeed He couldn’t help but play with the badge, loving it so much that, for the first time today, he took a photo and wanted to send it to Shen Ben Wu Xiang right away. When he opened the friend page and clicked on “Shen Ben Wu Xiang,” he suddenly noticed that it still displayed the “Exploring, can team up” option. Huh? Did this mean that, for the entire 24-hour exploration period, he could summon friends to team up at any time? A thought…
    • by Cristae — —Who are you, really? Bian Xu looked around. Nidhogg's dragon wings were smeared with blood; beneath Nie Du's calm expression, his grip on the scythe had tightened. All the players had clearly split into two camps, divided and opposed, with this moment as their center. While the leaders fought, the lower-ranking officers had already quietly chosen their sides. This was the prelude to collapse. Everyone was watching him. And so, after all the breakdowns, evasions, and trembling battles…
    • by Cristae — 291 To-Do (4) “I met a weird man today.” During dinner, Woo I-rok spoke up, as if suddenly remembering something. “A weird man?” “Yeah. You know the name I used back when I was at the orphanage, before you came to get me?” Park Jeongmin. A name I’d rather not remember. As I frowned, I-rok mimicked me, narrowing his brow as well. The kid’s already picking up on things. “He kept calling out that name.” “You didn’t answer, did you?” “What do you take me…
    • by Cristae — “……” Bian Xu was trembling, his breath hot and ragged, like burning coals. He wanted to bite his lip again, but Si Zhiyan’s fingertips remained pressed lightly to his lips, cool and soft, the pad of his finger resting against his canine tooth. Between lips and tongue flowed the sweet, intoxicating scent belonging to his teacher—so potent it felt as if his heart would burst into flames. —— But Bian Xu couldn’t say a word. Cold sweat soaked the hair across his forehead;…
    • by Cristae — Si Zhiyan plucked that flower, scooped up Sol, and left the field.Later, the blood people awoke from their dreams. The farm staff, too, peeked carefully out of their rooms, gazing in awe at the masses of furry little creatures blanketing the grass.The blood people were no longer blood people. Freed from , the players’ mutations would gradually fade, and before long, they would return to normal, human bodies.Some, perhaps, felt a sense of indescribable loss—but for most, it was a relief.Yan Cheng and Ye…
    • by Cristae — 329 Return Home (3) Imi-seon sent word of Hong Seokyeong’s return far too late. When I looked at him with an incredulous face and asked when he’d told her, Hong Seokyeong scratched his head sheepishly. “At the airport?” “…Which airport?” “……” He hesitated for a long while before answering. I could pretty much guess what he’d say. “Incheon?” “……” This guy, honestly. I’d expected as much, but that didn’t make it any less annoying. Hong…
    • by Cristae — 183. Never had I expected to set a regression in motion yet again. This life had been perfect for both Pherdel and Caspar—until everything began to fall apart so suddenly, and Caspar realized he needed to prepare for the worst. How he had scrambled to gather enough offerings for the ritual! 'My wealth is hardly liquid; there were treasures I couldn’t buy even when I found them, but timing was on my side.’ He still resented Sion for ultimately siding with Bellady, but at least he could…
    • by Cristae — 382 Girl of Dreams (5) Thirty minutes ago. The Grand Conference was proceeding in a relaxed atmosphere. According to Alain Richard, there hadn’t been a conference this peaceful in years. In fact, he said it was the first time he’d seen one like this. European mages, huh... Well, I can’t say I was surprised. I’d been curious to see what kind of train wreck might unfold. But I knew why things had turned out this way, instead of the disaster I’d half-expected. Was it because of…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 110: Server-wide Announcement, Regional Reputation Rankings The preparations he’d made before coming had proven useful. The wood from the Forest of Stars, along with the Fire Drake hide Qi Yu had brought, earned Tessa’s unending praise. A warrior and a mage working together—repairing the house went at an astonishing pace. By midday, the house that had been destroyed by the Ice Demon’s self-destruction was already seventy or eighty percent rebuilt. The survival panel notified…
    • by Cristae — 467 Cactus Flower (3) Despite the fact that there was a guild in charge of managing the dungeon, there were several reasons why the conquest of the Mole Dungeon had been handed over to us. First. Because of what happened in San Francisco, the anxiety of the citizens and the politicians facing an upcoming election… Well, that’s been mentioned enough times already. Second. The chronic manpower shortage plaguing America ever since the Yellowstone dungeon break, as Daniel revealed inside the…
    • by Cristae — Si Zhiyan immediately summoned the rewards for Main Quest (3): the Perimeter Wall and Turret System. Si Zhiyan: "……"He had no time to argue with this lousy system. What was a farm weeder? That was the key question Si Zhiyan asked first. A one-time, ultimate line of defense! Rustle… rustle…The sound continued. "Ah… ah!! What’s that noise? Is something coming?”In the settlement, a service player trembled, clutching their head. “Am I imagining things? Who’s…
    • by Cristae — While the farm’s new worlds were booming, there was one place facing a stern challenge. That was none other than the farm’s largest mineral supplier: Hephaestus Castle. The manpower-intensive approach to developing new worlds required a huge supply of ; the castle’s stable output directly determined the pace at which new worlds could be opened. But the problem was, Hephaestus Castle’s entrances and exits were notoriously unpredictable, appearing and vanishing without warning. It could be…
    • by Cristae — 532 The Human’s Child (6) I set down the documents that the Da-seon hunter had carefully delivered. Tati’s dungeon had closed. It wasn’t a surprise; if anything, it was surprising it had lasted this long. The last time I saw that dungeon, that fairy had been on the verge of death. The photo Tati gave me. Father said he’d keep helping. With the data Michelle left behind, if we combed through the remaining labs, we’d find some clue. I’d accepted my brother’s death long…
    • by Cristae — 265 Tati (4) “Does your species have the concept of family?” <Huh?> “How do I even explain this… Do you give birth to offspring? Or are you born from eggs? …I guess I shouldn’t think in human terms. Maybe you just sprout from the ground.” <Heejae?> “No, no. Tati, is there someone who gave birth to you?” <Me… um?> A whole storm passed as I tried to explain the concept of “giving birth.” Fortunately, Tati understood without much…
    • by Cristae — The rebel army caught the Commander's Guard completely off-guard. The dying shout of a guard became the opening signal for battle; in an instant, a chaos of screams, shouts, calls for companions, urgent defensive orders, and cries of the wounded rang out everywhere. Captain Yang hastily grabbed his weapon, rushed to the outer ramparts of the command residence, and bellowed: "Form up! Form up!" Every soldier attacked was bewildered, and Captain Yang himself was on the verge of collapse: Hadn't Gu…
