    • by Cristae But more than anything else, the very fact that this was an abnormal situation filled Yuseong with anxiety. ‘What if Ark, or the purchase window, or crossing to the other world, start shutting down one by one?’ He knew he would go insane if that actually happened. He would fall back into that hellish life, holed up in his shelter, starving for supplies, just dragging out his days until he died. ‘First, I’ll recall the robots.’ He called the robots closer to his shelter back to base,…
    • by Cristae Episode 237 Yuseong stood in front of the giant monster’s corpse. It was a gruesome and hideous sight, battered by countless bombardments. An ordinary person would have frowned in disgust, but Yuseong felt no discomfort at all. ‘I won!’ Because it was proof of victory. Though he wasn’t completely certain, based on his previous experiences, he figured this giant monster was probably among the strongest of all monsters. Perhaps, even during the past war between humans and monsters,…
    • by Cristae Episode 236 Shells pouring down like rain pounded the giant monster. The monster's body was so huge that a considerable number of shells landed on it. But even so, it was clear that this creature was fundamentally different from most monsters or beasts—the shells did not inflict particularly powerful damage. The shells could not properly penetrate its hide, which was so hard it could easily be mistaken for a rock. However, perhaps because the defenses on its heads were weaker than its body,…
    • by Cristae Massive explosions filled the sky. Someone might have gasped at the spectacle, but not Yooseong. ‘So it’s come to this, as expected.’ He’d more or less predicted it, but seeing it in person, Yooseong couldn’t help but feel disappointed. ‘I went through all that trouble modifying these…’ The cannons he was using now were modified howitzers from the other world, upgraded according to the walkthrough using all the intel he’d gathered. But even those couldn’t do anything to the…
    • by Cristae The only thing an empty crater proved was one thing. ‘That thing moved!’ Yooseong clutched his head. ‘Did I think about this too lightly?’ Just the fact that it preemptively attacked robots already set it apart from other kaiju and beasts. Why had he assumed something like that would stay in the crater forever? ‘It must be searching for me.’ Otherwise, there’d be no reason for it to come toward the Korean Peninsula. ‘At least, it doesn't seem able to detect me from that…
    • by Cristae Episode 233 It was inside a huge crater in the middle of a flat wasteland, as if a meteor had fallen. In the center of the pit, a small mountain was standing tall. It was a peculiar landform. If there were a pit at the top of the mountain, that would make sense. You could explain it as a volcanic caldera. But here, it was the opposite. Even Yooseong, who didn’t know much about geology, found the sight strange enough. It didn’t take long for his curiosity to be answered. But…
    • by Cristae Episode 232 “But even up to that point, things weren’t exactly going well. No matter how much it was for strategy, we really did give up the outer castle entirely. We were still outnumbered, too.” “In the end, even the inner castle was breached. All that was left was the city hall.” “For those who don’t know, if you lose the city hall, it’s over. No matter how much strength you have left, it’s a loss for the city.” “If we weren’t careful, strategy or not, it would’ve…
    • by Cristae Episode 231 A total of four cities. That’s a number that even most guilds have trouble keeping. This time, among the guilds that attacked Moradin together with C.O.T.S, two—Calamity and Arc College—each had four cities, and Agora and Gunwoonghoe together didn’t even have three. Besides, one of those is Moradin, which is vastly different from other cities. In other words, the forces Yooseong possessed alone already surpassed those of most top guilds. Of course, Yooseong was…
    • by Cristae On Apollo’s orders, the remaining forces gathered in his city, Delos. However much they tried to scrape together their remaining troops, their fighting strength was still painfully lacking. Still, Apollo’s grim demand that they not lose this city made the guild members steel their resolve. But strangely, the Reckless forces made no move. “What are they up to?” “No idea.” Apollo asked his subordinates, but of course none of them had a clear answer. For an instant, a faint hope…
    • by Cristae Thud! A spear pierced into the opponent’s abdomen. The enemy, whose HP was already hanging by a thread, couldn’t withstand the blow. He glared at the one who’d stabbed him as if to kill, but his body collapsed to the ground against his will. “Geez, you Cots bastards really are tenacious.” Aiden muttered as he rested his spear on his shoulder. But regardless of how stubborn they were, the outcome of this war belonged to Reckless. Now, only one member of the C.O.T.S. force…
    • by Cristae ‘That trash has nothing but pride.’ Apollo ground his teeth as he glared at Vesuvius. He was the one who stabbed them in the back, but he felt no guilt about it. In this world, getting stabbed in the back meant you were a fool. What annoyed him was merely that Vesuvius and his subordinates didn’t die as quickly as he’d wanted. But that wouldn’t last much longer. Calamity’s forces had nearly all been wiped out—especially the NPC soldiers. ‘Those guys tend to surrender once…
    • by Cristae Episode 227 He only stood dazed for a moment. Soon, the Ark College guild master began to rage furiously. “Who the hell are they! What kind of fucking trash bastards…!” He poured out every obscenity he knew. But more than anger, what he felt was bewilderment. ‘How did this happen?’ War content had been added, but people didn’t think wars would break out frequently for a while. That was because not only was it difficult to attack player-owned cities, even moving to them was…
    • by Cristae Episode 226 “Still haven't broken through yet?” Apollo asked. His tone appeared no different from usual, but Asclepius could tell. That he was feeling particularly displeased right now. “The enemy’s resistance is fierce. But we’ll be able to break through soon.” “……” No answer came back. That meant his mood had become even worse. Asclepius kept his mouth tightly shut. At a time like this, it was wise to stay silent. “How are the other guilds?” “Ah, I’ll…
    • by Cristae “Things are progressing smoothly.” Asclepius, checking the constant stream of reports via messages, spoke to Apollon beside him. “At this pace, we should be able to break through the inner citadel soon.” “Our casualties?” “I can’t say there were none, but they’re not significant. Exact details will have to wait until after the war, but I don’t think it will differ much from our predictions.” “The enemy’s casualties?” “Reports say not that many. If they look…
    • by Cristae An alliance with other guilds. Collaborating with others to achieve goals beyond their own capacity was nothing unusual. If used well, it could yield far greater results than going it alone. The problem was that Apollon still had other C.O.T.S players, what you might call his own side—specifically, the Python faction. Alliances with outside guilds while his own guildmates were around? No matter how you looked at it, it was absurd. Vesuvius felt the same. “Still, I wonder what you’re…
    • by Cristae Episode 223 “Mordin?” The first to react was Mad Hammer. The person he considered his rival, along with Willy, was Yuseong—though others would just laugh at that. Naturally, Mad Hammer had been diligently collecting information on Yuseong. It wasn’t hard. Yuseong’s exploits were so famous. Of course, every time he gathered more info, it made Mad Hammer’s blood boil. Because of that, there’s no way Mad Hammer didn’t know that Yuseong had claimed the new city called Mordin—a…
    • by Cristae Episode 222 “Is this Mordin?” “Don’t get distracted, just follow me. We need to find a base first.” The plaza in front of the city gates, where players using teleport usually arrive. People who seemed new to Mordin fumbled around in confusion. It was such a common sight after Mordin became known to players that no one paid them any attention. Soon after, another group teleported in. Unlike the last ones, this group already seemed used to it and walked deeper into the…
    • by Cristae <How is that possible?> A viewer asked. Yuseong kindly continued his explanation. “That has to do with something called a Spatial Distortion Crystal.” <Spatial Distortion Crystal?> <I think I heard about that from Yuseong before> “That's right. I mentioned it once when I was explaining the Mordin quest. It’s called the source of the Teleport Towers, and it’s probably a concept that appeared for the first time in this event. But the crystal in Mordin is special—more…
    • Episode 06 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 006 Because Lee Han had consistently learned swordsmanship from his family’s old knight, Knight Allarlong, and was himself versed in combat, he could tell. Yoner’s stance right now was that of someone about to beat a person! “Wait. Wait.” Lee Han stepped between them to stop them. “Don’t look down on alchemy, Gainando.” “But alchemy is trivial.” Gainando said with a face completely oblivious to the mood. “Where’s the wisdom in that?” Magic was an…

      by Cristae Episode 005 Magical power. Mana, magical power, called ‘Qi’ by some eastern tribes, ether by pretentious scholars, and divine power by stubborn priests—this force with many nicknames was the source of power for wizards. The power to change the world! Since every time they used magic they had to draw and consume their own magical power, it was natural for inexperienced and unskilled young wizards to suffer from a lack of magical power. But he had attempted it seven times and was still…
