    • by Cristae — Bian Xu never liked big cities. For convenience in handling affairs, Si Zhiyan had claimed the top-floor duplex apartment in the city’s tallest building as his own. The rooftop was a small garden with a pool, and outside the floor-to-ceiling windows stretched the stunningly lit neon nightscape of the metropolis. Si Zhiyan moved his office here, and at night, as he watched the pinpricks of light spread and illuminate the city, he was filled with an unmatched sense of accomplishment. While Si…
    • by Cristae — Chapter 233: Damned Curiosity The wretched system was always up to no good. Yan Jiyun stopped fretting about the collar around his neck. If he ran into Jiuyé in person, he'd simply choose a high-collared shirt or wrap the collar with a piece of cloth to hide it from view. From the system’s prompt, he drew one conclusion: Jiuyé was, apparently, an NPC. His suspicion that Jiuyé was actually Qi Feng dropped by five percent. What had been a ninety percent certainty was now eighty-five. The…

      by Cristae — Professor Garcia wondered where to even begin to correct him. It wasn’t uncommon for Einrogard professors to go missing or abscond (Professor Bendozol was one such example), but even then, students didn’t post wanted notices throughout the Empire. If they did, Einrogard’s notoriety would have risen even higher. ‘Then again, would any student even look for a missing professor in the first place…?’ Usually, students would be sad if they liked the professor, but wouldn’t bother to…

      by Cristae — “It’s fine.” “No, I insist. If I cast -Sleeping Heat Imbuement- on the saddle, not only the rider but the horse will enjoy it too.” Lee Han brought out various domestic-use spells he’d learned from Professor Garcia in his first year. Ziklin’s horse nickered and rubbed its head in delight at Lee Han’s magic warming the saddle. “Giselle. I’ll leave the rest to you.” “You’re not supposed to waste magic like that.” Giselle sheepishly objected to her older…
    • by Cristae — 433 Aptitude (1) “A question about Mont Saint-Michel, you say?” Jean Robinson had arrived at the Training High. Even this taciturn man had changed a great deal since our first meeting. He was a better father than I’d expected, and an impressive Hunter as well. This is why you can’t trust first impressions. Look at Noah Michel… she turned out the same way. Not that I’m saying Jean Robinson is perfect. But for someone his age, it’s only natural to have a few personal issues. I…

      by Cristae — Just in case, Lee Han scanned for magical energies around him but detected nothing. If someone, like Saratan, was residing in the tablet or even traces of magic remained, he should have clearly felt a ripple of magical power…? “Senior.” Lee Han called Catten. Though confident in his own senses, Lee Han was never overconfident. If it was someone at Catten’s level, he might have noticed something Lee Han had missed. “Did you sense anything strange?” “You mean my humble…

      by Cristae — Episode 1012 “If you mean other friends, who are you talking about?” “Yes?” Lee Han was flustered because he hadn’t expected to be asked to name specific friends. As expected, the insight of an archmage was sharper than most. “…Senior Direte, and Lee Han of the Wardanaz family…” Flustered, Lee Han made a choice he would never normally make. He added his own name to the list of friends. The Death Knight walking beside him felt sorry for him…

      by Cristae — In truth, this semester Direte’s luck with lectures had been unusually poor. Just recently, because Joulin had run away from home, the other professors had come in to attend his class. At the time, Direte had thought, ‘There can’t be a tougher lecture than this.’ But today, Direte fully realized why a wizard must never make such assumptions. There could, in fact, be even more difficult lectures! "I’m really sorry, senior." Lee Han apologized with a look full of guilt. In…

      by Cristae — Hall of Dark Shadows. The tower that Professor Mortum used as his workshop was as gloomy as ever. 'If he wants more students to come, he should start by improving the surroundings first.' When skulls, bones, gravestones, and boxes of poison vials were scattered around, most people didn't want to come near. As far as Ihaan could tell, out of this year's first-year students, only he and Gainando would come to learn black magic… “??” Ihaan was surprised. There were other first-year…

    • by Cristae — 500 Pursuit (4) A will? At that word, a base curiosity welled up inside me before I even realized it. Gamble quickly caught himself, snapping back to his senses. This was all Alex’s fault, that kid who’d watched endless dramas in the lab—those palace romances about the missing king’s will in some imaginary kingdom, tangled with assassination, adultery, and power…. But this was something that had happened in real life. Gamble had no desire to sink that low. Even if it was about the…
    • by Cristae — 355 Molting (2) “Ugh, wow...” As soon as I set her down, Shin Minseo collapsed onto the floor. “I feel like I’m going to throw up...” She was a bit unsteady, unlike Gamble, who was standing upright on her own two feet. Well, Gamble was an Awakened, after all. “I had to run myself or it would’ve taken too long. My apologies.” “This school is unnecessarily huge...” Her face was still pale, but as soon as she caught her breath, Shin Minseo sprang to her…
    • by Cristae — 326 Declaration of Revenge (2) Classes at the co-ed school started at 9 a.m. The current time: 8:13 a.m. It took just over forty minutes to walk from home to school, and we were about halfway there. Even if Kang Taewoo had just spent a short vacation in Hawaii with his little sister, and even if he now had a home in Korea, I wasn’t cold-hearted enough to send an eighteen-year-old straight to the dormitory. I told him he could commute from home just for this week. After all, he lived across…
    • by Cristae — 275 Coin (2) What Woo Irok planned to do with money that couldn’t be traced didn’t really matter. Well, it did matter, but it wasn’t a priority. I was certain that if anyone tried to take his money, he wouldn’t just sit back and let it happen. At worst… “Irok is just too cute.” “…Why are you telling me that?” “Did you know he asked me what kind of birthday present girls would like? I think he’s planning to give one to a girlfriend.” “Again, why are you…

      by Cristae — The thoroughly cowed Duke Ikaldoren hurriedly grabbed a quill and began signing, “I will sponsor Yukveltire’s artificial dimension research.” None of the confidence of the master manipulator of imperial backrooms remained. He was like a bankrupt tycoon at the end of his days, hands shaking as he wrote his will. Lee Han and Yukveltire watched with satisfaction. Fortunately, Direte, still rational, grabbed both their shoulders and whispered. “Hey. Hang on.” “?” “??” The…

      by Cristae — “That’s right. If you dislike fighting, being a magician would suit you better than being a knight.” Not knowing Lee Han’s true thoughts, Alsicle persuaded Ulgan, sounding pleased. Truly, as someone who's never been to Einrogard, he confidently spouted such nonsense. “Knights shed blood and sweat every day, wielding iron. But a magician—if you want—you can just stay in the workshop and do research all you like.” “Hmm.” “??” When Lee Han, instead of agreeing, just…

      by Cristae — Episode 270 One student frantically tore off his cloak to put out the fire and shook it up and down. However, there were more crimson feathers than expected. As the number of feathers increased like a rainstorm, the students screamed. “Take shelter under the shade!” “Which shade!? Hiding under a tree won’t do anything!” Shhhhhh! Professor Alpen swung his staff and cast a huge veil above the students’ heads. Crimson feathers struck the veil with sharp sounds. “Th-thank…

      by Cristae — Since it was late at night, as soon as Lee Han finished tidying up after dinner, he lay down on the bed. He thought his mind would be too troubled to sleep, but he was so tired that as soon as his head hit the pillow, his eyes closed. And Lee Han had a nightmare in which Professor Voladi brought a dragon. -This is really not acceptable. I will appeal to His Majesty the Emperor. -His Majesty has also given permission. -This is absurd! * * When Lee Han woke up in the morning, he sighed…
    • by Cristae — By some stroke of luck, Cleio Aser saved the capital. He had tied the entrance of his subspace pouch too tightly, so he still could not retrieve the luminous stones. The beast, having missed its target, landed on the ground, then turned its body and targeted Cleio again with a growl. Clutching the pouch he was opening, Cleio dripped cold sweat. ‘What do I do? Uwaaaahh.’ The moment the wolf lowered its body to pounce, his mind went blank. Only one magic formula came to his mind: and…

      by Cristae — Lee Han was flustered. It was a reaction he hadn’t seen from any of the professors he knew. ‘Did I do something wrong?’ But no matter how much he thought about it, Lee Han hadn’t done anything wrong. ‘Is it because I have too much magic power?’ Lee Han cautiously asked, “Is it difficult for me to learn illusion magic because I have a lot of magic power?” “No?” “Then perhaps because I lack control?” “No. That’s enough. The… Oh, well. I should tell…

    • by Cristae — 549 (Hunter Academy Side Story 16) The Graduates_3 “For now, that’s as far as I’ve got. Any questions?” Lee Seung-yeon gulped down water, her throat dry. She tried to look nonchalant, but it was obvious she was nervous. Normally, her friends would have teased her or cracked jokes at her expense, but today, none of them felt like doing that. After seeing how much she’d prepared, it wouldn’t be right to make fun of her—not if they were really friends. “So… this is your ultimate…
