      by Cristae True and False Perhaps he really had rubbed off some of the vendor's luck. Today, despite clearly not many tourists, Nan Shi managed to sell exactly thirteen wristlet strings, along with various small trinkets. It wasn't enough to fill his coffers, but he did make three to five thousand in gross profit. That pile of five emperors' coins still lay on the counter, he hadn't even had time to set aside his hands to string them. It was already past 3:30 PM, the cold temperature overcoming the warm…

    • by Cristae Place of Friendship (2) The summer semester that started in April required less preparation than the winter semester. Dione, who used to pack simply for him, made a deliberately disappointed face and joked. "What, the mischievous prince’s friendly visit woke up our sleeping young master. I’m a bit sad, you know." Unlike usual, Cleio could not return a smooth answer to her. Thanks to that, Dione, who gained momentum, teased him endlessly, asking if he was embarrassed, saying it was fun now…
    • by Cristae Against the Darkness (5) "If I have to explain, I'm trying to reduce the scale of that fire. Because the inevitable blaze will burn throughout Albion." 'Well, that's not wrong either. War is a disaster of fire, and paper burns easily.' This world was literally a kingdom built on paper. Cleio was in a position where he had to defend himself so that an unexpected turn of events would not burn up the fragile manuscript like a careless spark. Whether he understood his words or not, Mietz, who…

      by Cristae Encounter The room was just this big, and the two people's dispute was naturally heard absolutely clearly. He walked over as if nothing were happening, asking with a face entirely calm, "May I ask if you've set your heart on something?" Old Wang pointed to the seal and said, "Boss, can we take down this seal to have a look? Can we have a chance to stamp it?" Nan Shi carefully took out the seal from up front and smiled, saying, "This is something I only managed to obtain by chance, so I wish to…

    • by Cristae Toward the Reprint! (2) Leaving the school, Kleio walked toward the tram stop. ‘As expected, emphasizing the public benefit. I knew this would work best.’ There was no lie in the story he used to persuade Maria. Since the Conqueror King was a knight who used ether and there were knight orders in the main domains of the north, south, east, and west, people’s trust in them was strong. However, since mages often avoided public activities, ordinary people rarely saw them. ‘Graduates…
    • by Cristae The peaceful days that have passed—were they so tranquil only to make the ruin of this day more dramatic? No. Those days themselves were what gave the strength to get through the present. Arthur and the children were not weak. Surely, there would be a way to overcome this crisis. Cleio steeled his heart and organized the new information in his mind. 'If Tayserton had stormed in from the beginning under the name of the royal regent, Count Kishion would not have ordered a counterattack. They…
    • by Cristae Field Trip (3) They could not use magic to move in the dark forest. Earlier, it was because they didn't know, but wandering in the middle of the night in a forest where a knife-wielding thug was waiting was not the right thing to do. ‘Magic is so convenient and good, but I didn’t expect the inability to hide its light would be such a big drawback.’ In the previous manuscript, magic was only for healing or research, so the light it emitted was not a problem at all. ‘A wizard who takes…
    • by Cristae Field Trip (1) On the day of arrival, a tour of the Tiflaum mine and the temporary research lab was scheduled. The students split into six carriages and headed for the “King’s Forest.” In the last carriage to depart rode Arthur, Cleio, Isiel, Chel, the Angelium twins, Nebo, and Fran. The twins, having spent all their energy running around energetically since morning, had fallen asleep. Only then did the surroundings finally quiet down a bit. “What’s up, Rey? Did something happen…

      by Cristae – The ticket?? – It was literally right there a minute ago! – It just… vanished? – This isn’t clickbait or trolling from Yeonghwagaek, huh… As the livestream showed Yeonghwagaek, pale as a ghost, frantically flipping over every corner of his room, viewers quickly realized—this was the real deal. A full-on disaster. – Didn’t he carefully put it back in the envelope? – Yeah, and we didn’t see it again after that. – 22 No one really thought to pay…
    • by Cristae Field Trip (4) “…It’s alcohol. A concentration of over 40% is enough.” Cleio, who had been half-lying in his chair, suddenly lifted his head. “If you transmit aether while in contact with that catalyst, you can inscribe the formula onto Tiphlam. It suppresses the tendency to revert to its original form.” ‘My god! So that’s what it was?’ It was such a common catalyst that no one must have thought of it. Or maybe the author just made it up while drinking spirits. In…
    • by Cristae I Woke Up and Became a National Hero (2) No matter how close a battle for the nation’s fate might draw, Madam Canton’s painstakingly prepared afternoon tea was delicious. Puff choux filled with orange-scented custard, Victorian cake with jam and fresh cream, and tiny cucumber sandwiches—all were delicious enough to warrant admiration. Though simple in appearance, each one had rich flavor and excellent ingredients. Paired with bergamot-scented tea, it was a taste from heaven. Behemoth, not…
    • 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 Albion’s Pastoral (11) “…Do you remember me from a previous life? It’s a past I myself do not know.” “If knowing something only after the fact still counts as knowing. If Sir Kishion had not rendered some small help to your previous life, then Gideon Asher at that time would hardly have thought to fund the beleaguered Kishion command.” The “memory” of the ‘Promise’ quickly rewound. When the Kishion territory battle broke out in the eighth world, the anonymous donor who…
    • by Cristae The large bathhouse in the basement of the lodging building, located at the base of the castle, was connected to a hot spring. The children, freshly washed in the steaming water, gathered in the lounge connected to the dining room on the first floor of the lodging. The furniture in the lounge was all carved from rough, raw wood, but with the fireplace blazing, the atmosphere was cozy. Chel, dressed in a clean shirt and pants, sniffed alternately at both shoulders and asked, “Do I still…
    • by Cristae For an Impermanent Peace (2) “The scales have not tipped to one side yet. On one side is the ‘purpose and hope’ his companions have placed in him, and on the other is the life of the ‘prophetic magician.’ Arthur has a kind and upright nature, the sort to know that choosing either side would be a betrayal.” Melchior silently approached Cleio, who was still gripping the window frame. Cleio turned his head. The crown prince’s profile and the cityscape entered his field of vision…
    • by Cristae The Queen's Garden (2) ‘Wow, this is amazing!’ ‘Haegupseong’s Slash’ was a shared skill given to a swordsman who breaks through a siege by cutting a path with their sword. It was a technique symbolizing indomitable courage. It was a skill bestowed on those who never gave up and fought on even in desperate situations, a technique that symbolized indomitable courage. ‘A protagonist is a protagonist. There’s no need to explain—he snatches up whatever he needs, even if his ether…
    • by Cristae The Battlefield on the Tablecloth (1) The first week of December, when the holidays began at the Capital Defense Corps School. A three-quarter time dance tune with a flat timbre was flowing through the drawing room of the Asser mansion. The sound quality of the gramophone was still not very good, and the playing time was very short. Of course, for Cleio's pathetic dancing skills, that level of music was enough. "Lift your heels, your heels! No! What are you doing relying on me instead of…
    • by Cristae Media! Media! Media! (2) Melchior did not care about Cleio's lack of response. “Albion’s literacy rate is the highest on the Dernier continent. 92% of citizens can read, you see. The influence of print media has become stronger than ever, and the rotary press now wields power as great as magic.” It was impossible to follow the conversation. Both “Perception” and “Separation” had their limits. Cleio simply tried not to faint or fall asleep. “Have you ever heard of something…
    • by Cristae When he thought about land and buildings, Clayio felt pleased even in his sleep, and he felt full without eating. While Clayio was daydreaming about a rosy future, Dione slapped his back hard. “What are you staring at so absentmindedly? Here! Take this.” Dione, completely serious about her business, handed Clayio a heavy paper bag with sparkling eyes. Even out of courtesy, he couldn’t help but ask a few questions. “Is this book… really that moving?” “In the icy land of…
    • by Cristae Wizards (2) He sensed someone running out of the lecture hall a step too late. The appearance of those who attacked the school in the middle of the capital in broad daylight was… “Huff, huff, Ezra, you bastard! I told you not to add the formula!” “It’s true~ Got some real experimental results~ It’s a success~ Don’t be mad, Dalia~.” “Aaaaagh! When Professor Zebedi comes back, he’ll try to kill us! He told us to reinforce the outer barrier, not break it!” “Hey, what…
