      by Cristae Episode 121 The talking book belatedly made an excuse, as if it realized what it meant by its words. “Of course, I didn’t mean for you to keep getting hurt. I just meant I wanted you to come by often.” “Ah. I see.” Ihan relieved his discomfort and opened his pocket. Inside were things like solid pieces of rock. “They’re griffon gallstones.” “Oh…!” Ihan recalled the books he’d read in his head. According to the alchemy book he’d read, weren’t griffon…

    • Episode 166 Cover
      by Cristae “Anyway, thank you?” Lee Han gave his thanks as he watched the Death Knight trudging away toward the school. Of course, Perkuntra was not fooled. A truly grateful person doesn’t start with “anyway” or end their sentence with a question. –Do you think I can’t feel your suspicion… “It’s a misunderstanding.” Lee Han spoke sincerely. Of course, he was a little disappointed with Perkuntra’s performance this time. He had wanted to see with his own eyes how he…

    • Episode 125 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 125 When he saw the fallen mouse, Ihan reflexively blurted out an excuse. “I am not a dragon, a lich, or the headmaster.” The friends near Ihan looked at him as if wondering what he was talking about. The red fox stretched its front paw forward, as if telling him to look ahead. The mouse jumped to its feet and started to run away. “…Wait! You wanted a duel! Have some honor as a noble…” Ihan habitually started to mention honor, but then hesitated. Come to think of…

    • by Cristae Amphitheater (4) “I didn’t know that ‘someday’ would come this quickly.” Cleio slowly turned his head. The boy gazed at Arthur with a face as dry as if he had lived a century. Without surprise or fear. Even when the worst happens, if it was something you expected, it brings a faint sense of release. That kind of relief lingered in Cleio’s demeanor. Though it was happening for the first time in his life, somehow Arthur felt as if he had always known it would come to this. If you…
    • Chapter 11: The Current Situation Cover
      by Cristae Deep Blue, located in the seventh spiral arm of the White Whale Galaxy. This place marks the outskirts of the "New Generation Civilization Region." On a star map, it precisely corresponds to the head of the "white whale." Behind it lies an enigmatic zone of peculiar radiation—an area akin to this era's mysterious Bermuda Triangle. Out of every hundred interstellar shuttles passing through there, ninety would vanish without a trace. Occasionally, remnants of lost vessels could be found, but even now no…

    • Chapter 6: The Turmoil at the Port Cover
      by Cristae Every month, Deep Blue suddenly "materializes" two to three lost individuals on its city streets. These lost individuals are very easy to identify: They have no records of entry or exit whatsoever, leaving not even a trace in the vast kingdom's household registration documents. Neither the combat space fortresses orbiting the planet nor Deep Blue City's defense system detect any signs of illegal intrusion (obviously, since they were residents within the city from the start). Many citizens of Deep…

    • by Cristae Thanks to the magic activated with the magic stone ruby, the rate of ether consumption was slower, so he had not yet lost consciousness. 'Not yet, and today I absolutely can't let go of my senses.' Now both Grendels clung to Arthur. The one whose back had been split charged with its legs and neck cut, but was finally devoured by the magical fire. Beg's sword, enchanted by Kleio's magic, not only burned the beast's mercury but also seemed to draw it in. 'That's the effect of the…
    • Episode 116 Cover
      by Cristae Episode 116 -But in order for that method to work, I needed your full cooperation. “……” “……” Ihan managed to keep his expression in check, but the Black Turtle Tower students showed suspicious looks. From the beginning, it had been a school where even the professors couldn't be trusted. So there was no guarantee you could trust an upperclassman either. ‘He says that, but is he really planning to betray us?’ ‘Somehow, doesn't that senior look like he's from the…

      by Cristae The carriage flew like an arrow. It felt like hardly any time had passed, but the main gate of the magic school was already visible in the distance. Lee Han felt a familiar sense of warmth, as if he had returned home for a moment. And then he got goosebumps. ‘Did I get hit by a mental magic or something?’ A lot of the snow has melted. There was a gentle regret in the Skull Principal’s voice. Lee Han cursed inwardly. “It melted faster than I expected.” Yes. I thought it would…

    • by Cristae For an Impermanent Peace (3) “If it is the logic of this world to give and then snatch away, then the logic of this world is wrong for me. You, being the will of God in human form, could never agree with me on that, of course.” Melchior’s tone remained elegant, but beneath it simmered anger. Cleio steadied himself, resisting the urge to leap out the window and flee, and replied, “Though the workings of God I cannot predict have granted me a portion of the truth about this world, such…

      by Cristae Kumandas was flustered, but soon pulled himself together. There was a lot he had to do right now. He had to give the imbuement magic lecture in place of Professor Verdus, who had been dragged off somewhere, and somehow secretly persuade the freshman in front of him to come to the Twisted Dimensional Corridor… "Senior! Hello!" "Senior! We…" "Wait!" The fourth-year seniors firmly stopped the freshmen, who were about to chirp like birds. Since they had also been first-years once, they…

    • by Cristae Three Springs (5) Cleio, now experiencing his third spring here, knew all the seasons of Albion. In summer, the sun rose early and did not set until nine o'clock. In winter, night began at three-thirty. Instead of heavy snow or rain, gray weather continued for a long, long time. Messages regarding the degree of narrative intervention surfaced only very occasionally once the cumulative rate exceeded 50%. "Promise" no longer intruded upon Cleio's life as frequently as before. He no longer…
    • by Cristae “Unlike Lady Tanpete de Neige or the only daughter of Viscount Kishion, to the nobility you are as good as someone born yesterday. You’re a hero of the capital and have been granted knighthood, but you haven’t attended any social gatherings, and no one knows you personally.” One prince has decorated a mage, the second prince is digging into his background, and the third prince considers him a companion in adventure. Anyone sensitive to the flow of power will soon turn their attention to…
    • by Cristae Kleio knew the source of that smell as if it were etched into his bones. It was the smell of the underground prison at the North Gate, where he had been confined until three days ago. ‘Was he interrogating Arthur? There’s nothing special to find out from him—what on earth was he trying to force?’ His head throbbed for a moment, but he straightened his back and held his head high, not wanting to show it. The world had not yet been shaken. If things went according to plan, Arthur would…
    • Episode 195 Cover
      by Cristae “…Sorry.” Lee Han apologized for now. He really hadn’t imagined that the Snow Hedgehog would just run away. ‘Isn’t that monster way too cowardly for a monster?’ A monster should attack ferociously regardless of the opponent’s magic power, but if it’s this timid… “Ah.” “?” Next to him, Priest Siana made a sound as if she had just remembered something. “I think it’s better to chase the Snow Hedgehog, Lee Han of the Wardanaz Family.” “Why is…

The emperor of Rome urges Berenice to leave, yet tells her she is the only one he’ll love and desire until he dies. 'Hmm. This is really too subtle a story for an eighteen-year-old. Seriously, dear author, this is not it.' Cleio was starting to miss the video content rating system he always used to criticize. "Whether you get it or not, at…

      by Cristae Episode 111 The white horse was flustered. Wasn’t this not the kind of atmosphere for this moment right now? The griffon and the human, who had distrusted each other. Wasn’t this an emotional moment where the human’s devotion cleared away the griffon’s long-held distrust, and the griffon was finally about to acknowledge Ihan as its master…? -Neigh. Neighhh. The white horse bowed its head again and rubbed its head against Ihan. Ihan was calm. “I told you. I’m not taking…

      by Cristae Kyeong! Kyang! At the sound of cries, the white wolf stifled a sigh and turned his head. In front of the white wolf’s treehouse. He had destroyed all nearby trees to create a wide lawn, making it easier to detect intruders. There, in the sunlit yard, two red fox cubs rolled around like a single fuzzy red ball. Warm sunshine. Soft grass. It was the perfect place for young ones to play, and because of those two small fox cubs, the white wolf’s once-quiet days had become noisy. That…

Since the book is on the thin side, I think this is enough.” As the project neared completion, Dione’s voice became lively. “It’s a respectable publication, and the length seems just right.” “We’re promoting it with posters, and in newspapers and magazines, too. Do you have any other ideas?” Clio added his opinion without hesitation. “Hmm, this is…
    • by Cristae Divinely Bestowed Kingship (2) The Royal Advisory Committee was held in the best-viewed conference room in the House of Lords building. Though it shared only a wall with the crown prince’s office, the two rooms differed drastically in decor. The walls were hung with red silk and adorned with gold, and a large table was placed at the center of the meeting room. Along the broad sides of the oval table, there were ten committee seats per side, totaling twenty on both sides. The twenty Royal…
