    • by Cristae The sudden outbreak of internal strife in C.O.T.S. Even though they had been pushed back by JeMeotDaero, C.O.T.S. was still considered one of the top powerful guilds in Ark. Naturally, the infighting within such a guild drew people’s attention. People thought that C.O.T.S. would stay quiet for a while as they sorted out their internal affairs. Some were even happy about this, given C.O.T.S.’s notorious behavior. However, C.O.T.S.’s next moves went far beyond their expectations. “Hello,…

Roughly carved and forged, it can increase the wearer’s strength by 3%.It appears to be a relatively small and scattered crystal—not worth much. “This is the thing that anomaly was wearing around its neck,” Shi He said. “It looks like the kind of stone the boss talked about… Only it’s the carved version, with a strength boost.”…
    • by Cristae 168. “Have you two been well? Sera, you still wear your hair short!” “Did you cut it yourself?” “It suits you so well!” The three friends, all of the same age, burst into cheerful chatter and laughter at once. “How disappointing.” Someone standing behind them smiled demurely. “So now you don’t even see your own mother, do you?” Only then did Seraphie look up, searching for the Countess Dowager. “…?” Upon finding her, Seraphie had to widen her eyes…
    • by Cristae Episode 17 The bedroom had already been tidied up by Hazel. I washed up thoroughly and changed into my pajamas by myself. “Ah, this feels great!” The sleeves of my pajamas were long, so I had to remember to fold them up carefully. Then, I dove straight into bed. Mister was sitting slouched on the sofa in one corner of my bedroom, reading some documents. Someone must have brought them while I was washing up. “You’re not waiting to see me fall asleep before leaving, are…

      by Cristae “Yeah. The professor is at fault here.” At Direte’s words, Professor Mortum’s face filled with shock and betrayal. But Direte didn’t care. According to the Einrogard Student Code, it was always justifiable self-defense for a student to betray or attack a teacher. And if someone had to get hurt, better it be the professor than the junior. “That’s right. You should have told me ahead of time.” “Exactly, I think so too.” “Cough. You ungrateful brats. I was giving you a…
    • by Cristae 200. When a member of the nobility commits a crime, unlike commoners, they are typically placed under house arrest or confined to the underground prison within the imperial palace. Once their guilt is confirmed in a trial, punishment follows. Usually, this means an enormous fine or a period of self-reflection and seclusion within their own domain, lasting several years. However, for crimes that are considered seriously damaging to society, they are sent to prison alongside commoners. In such…
    • by Cristae For a mass of vapor, this question was an almost outrageously pointed challenge. For a moment, Si Zhiyan wasn’t sure how he ought to respond. —Comply? Show respect? Resist? He froze, watching the doll with utmost caution. The puppet’s askew body quivered, black hair swirling in the boiling water, her smile stretching wider and wider, threatening to split her whole head apart. Her mouth gaped wide, her whole body trembling, as if—should Si Zhiyan give a negative answer—she would…

      by Cristae "Well, I’m off now." As both his hands were occupied, Lee Han had no choice but to wave the hand holding the hamster cage as a farewell. The hamster inside let out a furious series of squeaks. “W-wait. Wardanaz!” Giselle, unusually flustered, called after Lee Han. “You’re not going to whip these idiots into shape!?” ‘That’s too harsh.’ The White Tiger Tower students drooped. True, their average grades were lower than the Blue Dragon Tower kids, but…
    • by Cristae Episode 171 Night descended upon the Enchanted Forest, without exception. Belinda and Cesare sat side by side, conserving their energy by speaking little. Cesare reassured her, insisting that if northern knights were on their trail, they would surely find them. For those knights, the forest was an ancient enemy—sometimes, they could see through its secrets even better than an old friend. The only problem was time. ‘They must find us before the poison reaches Sir Cherry’s…
    • by Cristae Episode 213 How much time had passed? My feet began to move, slowly at first. Toward the distant glow of the hut’s lamp. The steady pace I’d kept quickened, and before I knew it, I was sprinting at full speed. ‘The coffin is empty.’ I knew it even without having to dig. My magic does not lie. And… Perhaps, I had sensed this outcome long before it came to pass. “Haah, haah.” My breath caught at my throat. A pain stabbed my head as if someone were wringing my…

      by Cristae ‘I must never let my guard down!’ Royalty never trusted each other. The imperial social scene was rife with intrigue and schemes. And among them, the royals were the ones with the fiercest and most relentless hearts. Yet to have fooled and relaxed such royals, even for a moment… That was no easy feat. Bogajun swiftly heightened his wariness of Gainando. ‘Evading suspicion by playing the fool…’ They called it an act, but not just anyone could do it. You needed the…
    • by Cristae Side Story 4. “Hera, I heard you went out in person today to the disputed territories in the West and met with the lords? Well done. There will never be a better time than now to get firsthand experience. Once you take the throne, you’ll have to judge far-off regions using only your subordinates’ reports. That’s why you need to gain as much experience in the field while you can—” “That’s enough!” Bang! Hera slammed her hands down on the table and stood up. Killian, who had…
    • by Cristae Episode 83 That evening. Liam Zevert sat at his desk in the study, his face grave. “This is troubling.” “What is, sir?” “Oh, you startled me.” Liam frowned in displeasure and turned to look beside him. It was the attendant who usually served him. “Did I say anyone could come into the study?” “Miss Rubian told me to come and do some cleaning.” “It is about time.” Seeing the young master rise so readily, the attendant chuckled inwardly. These days,…

      by Cristae Noticing Professor Garcia seemed to be dodging the point and hiding something, Lee Han looked at him suspiciously. But Garcia was a professor after all. When dealing with students, professors never lost. “Lee Han, listen closely to what I’m about to say.” “Yes!” “To use a spell that can damage that demigod, you’ll need to activate an ancient artifact—” “No need for that.” When Professor Voladi interjected, Garcia looked at him in confusion. “Is there another…

      by Cristae "Why are you looking at me like that? Don’t tell me you’re doubting what I said?" "Yeah." "Rafadael can back me up." "Being idiots together just means you’ll both get fooled." 'Isn't that a bit much?' Lee Han thought to himself. While Angrago and Rafadael could be a bit gullible, calling them idiots was excessive. "Wardanaz. We’ll be okay, right?" Angrago tiptoed closer as the two conversed. Coming into the punishment room brought back several painful memories for…

      by Cristae He heard the spirit shouting something, but the focused young prince paid it no mind. What mattered most now was teaching his disciple magic. Compared to that, whatever an evil spirit was shouting didn’t matter at all. If they were lucky, maybe the spirit would have a change of heart, but most wouldn’t overcome their nature. The prince never expected much from wicked beings anyway. Understood! I’ll endure a bit longer! ‘This sort of situation won’t come often…’ Ignoring the…

      by Cristae Episode 1092 ‘To think there would be such a trap at the end.’ Lee Han fell into deep despair. He hadn’t expected it to be a garment visible only to good people. The young prince, certain that Lee Han was kindhearted, must have confidently introduced it… Disciple. What’s wrong? “Gah. I can’t see the garment because I’m not a good person.” A good person? I don’t really get what you’re saying… The reason you can’t see it now is because it’s a garment using a…

      by Cristae “What are you doing?” At the icy-cold voice from the senior, Lee Han answered quickly. “I thought you looked cold, senior.” “You call that a reason?” ‘Huh?’ Lee Han was slightly taken aback. That would’ve worked on Professor Verdus… Apparently, Yukveltire had a higher social intelligence than Professor Verdus. ‘Then why does he act like Verdus?’ While Lee Han was pondering, Yukveltire pushed aside the cloak and looked at him, his gaze half indifferent,…

      by Cristae “What was that just now?!” At Direte’s outburst, Lee Han and Ellendil jumped in surprise. “Did that crazy sen—no, did Senior Yukveltire find us?” “That bastar—no, did Senior Yukveltire find us?” “…Yukveltire left earlier. More importantly, didn’t you just say you finished making -Liberation from the Skull- potion?” Lee Han replied, puzzled by the question. “Not finished yet.” “Oh, right?” Relieved by his junior’s answer, Direte thought perhaps…
    • by Cristae 142. “I am Count Validus, scheduled for a visit.” Pura handed a letter of introduction to the soldier guarding the door and spoke. The guard glanced at Seraphie as he checked the letter. Blue bobbed hair. That hair was the most iconic image associated with the name Validus. “You may enter.” Soon, the door opened with a bizarre creak. The high-pitched, scraping sound of metal was enough to send chills down one’s spine. “Count Validus.” The warden, waiting inside,…
