271 Prophet (2) There is a species here, called @@%, that loves peace—and yet feels compelled to possess everything that catches its eye. —Huh? You’re saying that doesn’t make sense for a peace-loving species? That’s just how it is with anything that has intelligence. —They’d say, “We have to protect those weak ones!” That’s what I heard, anyway. I never cared much myself. There were plenty like me. Not that anyone ever listened to us. Even for a peace-loving species that…

241 Father and Daughter (3) I hate the saying, “Like parent, like child.” It’s a phrase that judges me solely by my parents, regardless of my own efforts. For the same reason, I dislike the saying, “Blood will tell.” If I succeed, it’s thanks to my parents. If I fail, that too is naturally their fault. Sure, if I do something idiotic and can avoid taking the blame by putting someone else in front, there are times when that’s convenient. But what truly infuriates me is when, no…

501 Universe (1) The universe. It was the universe. No matter where you looked, stars filled the expanse. All you could see were stars. We were inside the universe. We had no idea what Noah Michel had done in the dungeon. No matter how much we prepared, it would never be enough. But that…

481 Territorial Dispute (3) The incident involving Hailey Lawton and Henry Lehmann was officially announced as the work of mages who were under investigation for their connections to illegal dungeons. Blaming monsters would have been a clean solution, but there were concerns that telling the already on-edge citizens—ever since San Francisco—that monsters had appeared again in the heart of the city might spark riots. Not that blaming mages didn’t cause discontent… but it was still preferable…

254 The Archmage’s Disciple’s Disciple (5) “It seems Seohyun looks up to you quite a bit.” Hong Seokyoung spoke languidly, leaning back in his chair. “It’s good to see the kids trying so hard in a school with fewer than ten students.” “…It’s also quite something to see a principal so quick to wash his hands of things that aren’t his problem.” “How is the students’ passion a sign of me shirking responsibility?” “I meant the part where you say it’s not your…

545 (Hunter Academy Side Story 12) The Fence_1 July 12th. Honestly, I don’t like that both of the new first-years are boys. I want a girl junior too! Last year it was fine since there were lots of older girls!! At least Seo-hyun unni comes by sometimes, so it’s a bit better. Finally, there’s another girl besides the teacher and me. But it’s actually hard to see her. She said she was doing some kind of magic research with Teacher Chae-min, but she hardly comes back to the dorm and is…

496 Moby (2) They were on the verge of extinction. The memories of once having been powerful enough to rule over everything remained only as dreams. It had been a long time since any children were born. Those who still lived were all so old that they could no longer bear offspring. This species would go extinct. Along with the world. There was little desire to run. What was the point of dragging an aged body through hardship? Even if one succeeded in settling in another world, death would…

429 The Mist of Mont Saint-Michel (2) As far as is known, the dungeon of Mont Saint-Michel—so-called “the Library,” the world’s longest-unconquered dungeon—consists of five floors. The topmost floor, where the gate is located, is called the lobby. The gate is, quite literally, the entrance, and the entire dungeon is indoors. Not a cave or anything like that, but an interior space. High ceilings, pillars carved with intricate patterns, unlit chandeliers, and long, straight corridors. It…

402 Dining Together (2) “…All of a sudden?” “No, but think about it.” “Where did you even hear that?” When Han Taekyung came to the lab, going on about having a great idea, Hong Seok-yeong hadn’t been there. “Han Taekyung came and told me.” I pressed a hand to my forehead. I’d chased him out, telling him to stop spouting nonsense, and he’d gone straight to Hong Seok-yeong with it? Should I call that initiative or just recklessness… What on earth did he say…

303 Youthful Girls (1) “Has there been any word from Mr. Hong?” The first thing Kim Chae-min checked upon returning from Australia was the whereabouts of Hong Seok-young. I carefully stepped into Kim Chae-min’s domain and shook my head. “No, there hasn’t.” “Hm.” “The first thing you ask after coming back is about Mr. Hong?” “Of course. Why wouldn’t I?” “You’re not curious about the kids?” Kim Chae-min switched on the lights in the cabin. It was the…

253 The Archmage’s Disciple’s Disciple (4) Park Seohyun is acting strange. This… well, there are quite a few sensitive kids at this school. Not that I blame them. It’s a time in their lives when emotions run high, and on top of that, most of them have had pretty rough lives. Thinking about it that way, Hong Seokyoung really did a good job bringing these kids together. Despite childhoods more turbulent than most adults could imagine, they’re trying not to go astray, making an effort to…

438 Hunter and Teacher (3) “There you go again, saying something interesting.” Kim Chaemin summed up my worries as something amusing. But that didn’t mean she dismissed what I said. “What brought that on all of a sudden?” she asked, tilting her head, but before I could explain, she nodded as if she’d already figured it out. “Oh, I get it. Teacher Woo, you sometimes give off this vibe that you grew up in a really ideal environment, you know? I think this is just another part of…

310 Hunt (3) One mark for capturing the mage. One mark for destroying the dungeon core. He’d left, brimming with confidence, promising to finish the raid in no time. Yet how many times had he used that item today—the one he’d worn all these years, wondering if he’d ever truly need it? Hong Seok-young swallowed a groan, thinking of the identification tag now etched with two new marks. He never intended to be stingy with it, since it was a matter directly tied to real injuries, but…

474 A Working Man (3) ‘It’s times like these!’ The archmage from Korea gazed out at the lake, a look of regret on her face as she spoke. She hadn’t planned to enter a dungeon, so her attire was light—a dress with a flamboyant pattern that seemed both out of place and perfectly suited to the red desert. With the star-filled sky above, the scene felt almost unreal. ‘This is when we’d need Seohyun’s grandfather’s magic!’ ‘That would make things easier, for sure. Can’t…

407 Admission Review (5) “I thought you’d be coming tomorrow!” Eva Robinson looked a bit embarrassed, but her energy never wavered. I’d seen it in Marseille as well—she was a person overflowing with vitality. Still, the way she kept glancing at me suggested she lacked confidence. “It’s hard to just sit still with that ocean right there.” “Exactly!” For a hunter, it’s better to be brazen like Han Taekyung than to shrink back like that. That’s actually why I brought Han…

316 The Duty of a Younger Sibling (1) ‘Atlas? You mean the one from Greek mythology?’ There was nothing to be gained from Kim Chaemin. It was only after I mentioned that it was a pharmaceutical company specializing in potions that she acknowledged it. ‘Ah, that place. Yes, I know it. I’ve heard of it before.’ ‘Don’t you work there with Dayeon?’ It was Gamble who actually recognized it first. But that was the extent of her knowledge. Our areas of interest didn’t…

408 Layer Upon Layer of Mountains (1) Two hours ago. In front of the dungeon gate. “Did you contact your father?” “Yes!” She wasn’t a minor, but this dungeon raid was being conducted under Jean Robinson’s sponsorship. He was our precious prospective sponsor, so he deserved to be treated accordingly. Well. As both a sponsor and a parent, a call is the least we could do. It’s just like announcing the start of class, isn’t it? The dungeon Jean Robinson had secured was…

385 Tied Feet (3) “To be blunt, I’ve been led around by the nose this whole time.” Hong Seok-young began his story without holding anything back. He was so utterly unreserved that Mr. Daniel, who was almost certainly affiliated with some American intelligence agency, shifted uncomfortably in his seat. “The U.S. government is no help at all. They don’t know how to do anything.” Yet Daniel said nothing. And Daniel was beginning to resemble more and more the pitiable victim of a…

320 The Duty of a Younger Sibling (5) The little doll moved. Its appearance was nothing special. A wooden puppet with a comical face painted on it. There were black stains, as if it had been scorched by fire, and here and there were gouges and nicks, both large and small. At most, it was the length of a handspan. Its size and looks were far too insignificant to attract the attention of the world’s most renowned magicians. And yet, on the stage, there was only that shabby wooden puppet. No…

492 Aerial Aquarium (4) Two pairs of eyes hardly blinked. Unlike their usual boisterous selves, they were excessively still. Perhaps that was why they stood out even more. Their gazes were fixed, faces serious, as if determined not to miss a single detail of the scene before them. Hong Seok-young suddenly found himself wondering what those kids were seeing. His son, Woo Hee-jae, also saw things others could not. Still, “mana” was something Hong Seok-young could easily understand. Just…
