    • by Cristae — 422 Ashes’ Vermin (2) Let’s imagine for a moment. One day, as I was living my life with diligence, a stranger came to see me. Strictly speaking, he wasn’t a complete stranger. There was something oddly familiar about his face, his voice. So, as I stared at him, wondering if he might be a long-lost sibling, he said this: “I am you, from the future.” How would I react to that? I’d call the police, obviously. Report that there’s some lunatic hanging around. Honestly, if…
    • by Cristae — 417 Preparation for the Raid (2) “Does it bother you?” “Hm?” “I asked if it bothers you.” Kim Chaemin’s gaze drifted toward Han Taekyung and Eva Robinson, playing on the beach. It was a stark contrast to the adults’ serious faces as they reviewed dungeon plans. Eva Robinson was one thing, but Han Taekyung… Well, I was the one who told him to just check the fairy’s words and not worry about the dungeon. Apparently bored of playing in the water, Han Taekyung had…
    • Episode 1044 Cover
      by Cristae — Episode 1044 Listening to the curses hurled by the leather shopkeeper behind him, Lee Han turned away with a bitter feeling. ‘What an unfortunate situation.’ It would have been one thing for someone else, but of all people, he ran into Professor Voladi. It could truly be called a colossal misfortune. “Wait. But doesn’t this mean the other arenas might have gone out of business too?” “……” For the first time, Professor Voladi hesitated. Lee Han was appalled at the…
    • Episode 907 Cover
      by Cristae — Lee Han, who had become oddly polite, was looked at curiously by Intarendals as he began his explanation. “Everyone has yang and yin. There are good parts and evil parts, you see.” “That tends to be the case.” Lee Han agreed for now, although he still couldn’t guess what the other was getting at. Humans were complex beings by nature, with both good and evil sides coexisting. Just look at Gainando—he’d steal his friend’s meals but sometimes give up his meal for a…
    • Episode 692 Cover
      by Cristae — Episode 692 Normally, as a senior, you should be glad when an outstanding junior enters your tower, but even considering that, the junior in front of him was just too… …He just didn’t seem like a first-year student. ‘What kind of guy is this?’ "You, which family did you say you’re from?" "Don’t forget. If there’s anything you want to eat, you’ll need to give advice or information about the smuggling." Instead of answering, Lee Han subtly changed the subject. Eurde…
    • Episode 645 Cover
      by Cristae — “There must always be smiles blooming on the faces of Wardanaz territory’s people. Oh, right. Lord Wardanaz, I heard you traveled with the Headmaster this vacation?” “Yeah. I persuaded some first-years who didn’t want to come in.” “Why in the world?!” Gainando, overhearing, was appalled. Why on earth commit such an atrocity? But his friends ignored him and continued the conversation. “By the way, were there any memorable first-years?” “Hmm. There was a first-year…
    • Episode 471 Cover
      by Cristae — ‘No way… right?’ The imperial princess tried to deny reality. But the signs were clear. Thinking back, how Wardanaz had always offered her food whenever he saw her—even more than seemed normal. Originally, she had passed it off as ‘Wardanaz respects me like everyone else,’ but now that she thought about it… Where could this misunderstanding have started? Adenart furrowed her brow, deep in thought. Of course, she had coincidentally done a few things that might be…
    • Episode 351 Cover
      by Cristae — Episode 351 “Is it possible that someone is ruder than Professor Baegrek…” Lee Han, who was about to speak however his tongue moved, belatedly realized that Voladi was right next to him. “…isn’t that obvious? Most people in the Empire would be ruder than Professor Baegrek.” “Are you insane?” Yumidihus was dumbfounded. He was so flabbergasted that he looked at Professor Voladi as if to say, ‘why don’t you say something too’. But Professor Voladi replied without…
    • 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 — 509 In a Dream (4) No matter how many flights of stairs we climbed, or how many times we descended twice as many, the same maze appeared before us each time. For a moment, I wondered if Michel had built the maze across multiple levels, but that notion was quickly dismissed. Even if Michel could reshape this dungeon however he wished, it was impossible to replicate an archmage’s unique magic. “It’s my magic,” Kim Chaemin said, his face set and hard, as he looked at the grass underfoot and…
    • by Cristae — 430 The Mist of Mont Saint-Michel (3) February, 2037. France, Mont Saint-Michel Dungeon—“the Library.” Before the first floor was cleared and the book-filled second and third floors were discovered, it wasn’t called a library. There was Noah Michel’s account of the lower floors, but at the time, it was the unverifiable testimony of a child. Because of its indoor nature, immense size, and the grand, elaborate decorations, it was first called the Castle. Mont Saint-Michel’s castle.…
    • by Cristae — 357 Molting (4) My father taught me nearly everything he knew. How to move my body, how to use my head. How to become a passable Hunter and clear dungeons, how to think strategically to become a decent Hunter. ...And so on. He didn’t just teach me how to become a Hunter. He taught me the things a parent should teach a child, the things a father should pass on to his son. He taught me, truly, everything necessary to live. Of course, that didn’t mean my father could prepare me for…
    • Episode 1138 Cover
      by Cristae — At the boss’s fierce roar, his subordinates hurriedly nodded, pulled a lever on the wall, and dashed into a passage connected to the underground sewers. With those insane knights prowling about outside, if they wanted to alert their fellow city dwellers, they had to use secret passages. Off to deliver the word? Hurry up. Don’t forget to give the full report, got it? “……” “……” The thieves were utterly horrified to see Death Knights nonchalantly chatting in a secret sewer…
    • Episode 572 Cover
      by Cristae — Episode 572 “Was that not the case?” -Of course not. Ikurusha never once thought to tell a first-year student “Make all the giants invisible and bring them to the main building.” Who in the world would assign such an impossible task? “That’s a relief. I was worried I’d have to start practicing.” -Hm. I may not be a mage, but I think you might have a problem there too… “???” Lee Han didn’t understand what Ikurusha meant. What problem did he have? ‘Is…
    • Episode 517 Cover
      by Cristae — For a moment, Lee Han’s momentum was so fierce it made onlookers think so. But Phil quickly regained his composure and realized something was off. “No, he isn’t just angry! That’s something else entirely…!” No sooner had he finished speaking than Lee Han finished off the ice elementals that had jumped him and launched a counterattack. The ice elementals rushing in from behind seemed nervous after witnessing Lee Han’s power and quickly assumed formation to block his…
    • Episode 501 Cover
      by Cristae — The Skull Principal spoke in a meaningful voice. Take good care of him. Explain to him the beauty of Einrogard. ‘Can I really do it?’ He’d accepted because of the outing pass, but now that he had it, he was getting worried. Was there really such a thing as beauty in Einrogard? ‘It feels like there’s nothing but pain and sorrow here…’ Someone like the Skull Principal would never give out an outing pass for no reason. Obviously, he was asking Lee Han to make sure that a…
    • Episode 427 Cover
      by Cristae — Upon seeing Lee Han, who got stuck on -Latent Heat Bestowal- despite already mastering harder spells like -Truth Light Bestowal- and -Purity Bestowal-, his friends were at a loss for how to advise him and felt bewildered. But as expected, Professor Verdus was different, being a professor. He immediately grasped the situation and gave skilled advice. “Relax! Dummy!” “……” Salko grew slightly expectant upon seeing Lee Han clench his fist. ‘Could he really hit the professor? No…
    • Episode 265 Cover
      by Cristae — Episode 265 “Professor. I’m not well-versed in imperial law, but I’m pretty sure kidnapping is illegal.” “I got their permission.” “Excuse me??” Lee Han was appalled. He knew adventurers were crazy, but agreeing to such a proposal… ‘Ah. That can’t be it.’ From the perspective of the adventurers who were caught trying to scam them, refusing wouldn’t have been easy. Besides, Professor Voladi probably hadn’t captured them kindly and gently, so the atmosphere…
    • by Cristae — Episode 257 ‘I want to find out what kind of creature it is.’ The last time he saw a giant monster, he was able to confirm its appearance thanks to the relay device. But he couldn’t install a relay in the ocean. ‘No, if I think about it, is it possible?’ Yuseong loaded a robot, a relay, a solar generator, and batteries onto a boat and sent it out. ‘It works!’ But he couldn’t keep it going for long. Such a small boat wouldn’t last in the harsh weather of the Bering…
    • by Cristae — 421 Bugs in the Ashes (1) I never wanted to become a hunter. The reason was simple. I hated physical labor. Well, it’s hard to find a job that doesn’t involve some physical effort. Even my own major required me to grind myself down. All-nighter shoots were routine, and every shoot meant hauling a mountain of gear. Beautiful films aren’t made without a price…. But the work of a hunter felt fundamentally different. That’s not to belittle hunters—or any other profession. I…
