      by Cristae “…What the…?” “Snap out of it, you idiot!” Geliak only came to his senses after hearing his comrades’ harsh shouts. That was how shocking it was. That expensive scroll had no effect at all? “If we waste time, professors will come! We have to subdue him quickly and meet the guide!” “I know. Move!” Geliak and his comrades drew their weapons. They were just as shocked, but they also knew that giving any more time here would be suicide. Nothing was scarier than…

      by Cristae As a Wardanaz, he was supposed to be from a famous magic and grand noble family—so why were the knight family students so confident in vouching for his combat ability? He couldn't possibly be superior in swordsmanship, nor would a first-year be that skilled at magical combat… "…I've clearly explained this. Please keep it in mind." "Understood." "Is there anything else you’d like to add to your record?" "I received a fire magic permit from the Afha Order." "Did you? I’ll record…
    • by Cristae Episode 271 "A bus? You’re saying you’ll carry us?" "That’s right, Mr. Mad Hammer. It’s not such a bad proposal for you. Your stats became a mess after your levels dropped anyway." When one’s level goes down, stats are randomly reduced by the amount of bonus points previously gained and invested through leveling up. That’s why their current stats were a shambles. Of course, this also affected their combat ability. Willy and his group had some of the top physical stats in Arc, so…
    • 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 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 Episode 243 “So then, Ark, dimensional travel, the purchase window, and even Ark’s weapons are all based on aether?” He more or less understood. From the beginning, the things Yuseong had experienced couldn’t be explained by his limited knowledge or by normal physical laws. ‘If the source is a special kind of energy, it makes sense.’ Yuseong’s eyes sparkled. Right now, what he wanted most was to migrate entirely to this world. “That duplicate is…
    • by Cristae Yuseong entered the laboratory. Monsters and beasts had not yet reached this place, so there was no significant damage. However, it still wasn’t a pleasant place to be. “How bleak.” “Are there no humans here?” “That’s for the best.” If there were humans at the lab, it would have caused even more trouble. “Is the lab underground?” “The aboveground building is too small for both research and production. Since I always lived underground in my world, I’m…

      by Cristae ‘Am I doomed?’ Lee Han steeled himself. Since there was no answer, it seemed likely this was the reaction of fearing him as a member of the Empire’s crazy mage family… “That’s a truly excellent family.” “!” At Yoanen’s reaction, Lee Han’s face lit up. “I’m only ashamed that I can’t live up to the family’s reputation.” “No way. Even in the Wardanaz Family, talents like you must be rare.” The conversation was warm, but Lee Han couldn’t read…
    • by Cristae Episode 272 "Just one day left now." "This damned ordeal is finally ending!" Willy and Mad Hammer spoke loud enough to be heard. "Thank you for your efforts. Just don’t forget to do your best for the one day left. Please don’t look at me like that. It’s a contract we agreed on as equals, after all. And I’m giving you these bonuses as well." Yuseong handed rare items to Willy. "I’m not that grateful. You’re definitely going to gain more from what we did." ‘That’s true.…

      by Cristae "Why not?" "I don’t want to suppress it by amplifying fire energy." "I see." Puyo nodded, as if understanding what Lee Han meant. "You don't like it because it's too simple a method." "…That's not it." Lee Han almost choked up for a moment. It wasn't about a craftsman's aesthetic sense as an artifact mage at all. "I'm having trouble controlling fire-related magic." "A mage of your caliber?" Puyo was flustered by Lee Han’s words. Among all elements, fire was considered…
    • by Cristae Hyewon sipped her coffee. The warm aroma of the beans helped calm her nerves. She took another sip and looked ahead. A large TV screen was in view. Geometric patterns floated on the display. The voice from the TV sounded exactly like the altered voice of the person who had claimed to be Yuseong’s secretary. “…I have lots. I don’t even know where to begin, there’s so much to ask.” Messiah. The A.I. who had introduced itself was there, beyond that TV. An A.I. that could…

      by Cristae Gulp, gulp— Once they secured drinking water, the Blue Dragon Tower students looked around with slightly relieved expressions. The human mind is fickle—once their immediate thirst was solved, their moods shifted too. Just moments ago, they were thinking, ‘What crime did I commit to end up at a school like this?’ but now they were having thoughts like, ‘Maybe it’s not so bad having these experiences with my friends.’ A few students sat on a dry rocky hill, gazing at the…
    • by Cristae After easily repelling the raid, Jemutdaero’s guild members uploaded their recorded videos. Since they had to hide the fact that a raid had taken place, they couldn’t stream it live, but now that the raid was over—and since there wasn’t much damage to fear a raid from another guild—they had no hesitation in uploading the videos. Jemutdaero’s videos naturally attracted a lot of attention. Everyone already knew about player-owned cities being raided, and videos about those incidents…
    • 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 When royals met each other, it was different from siblings of other families meeting—it held a different meaning. Even among siblings from the same family, there’s at least some intimacy, but among royals, there were hardly any reasons to meet at all. Naturally, royals could only see each other as rivals… So whenever they gathered, a ruthless competitive spirit erupted. Each one strove to be acknowledged in front of others as the most outstanding royal! “…Still, the good part is…

      by Cristae Magic was a field more easily appreciated by those who understood it. Mages like Deorgyu or Angrago, who had no interest in black magic, didn’t really grasp it, but Raphadael, who was studying black magic alongside Lee Han, could sense just how absurd what Lee Han had just done was. No matter how low-circle the magic, to summon that number of bone restraints and bone hands, and control them all at once— Bone magic, too, was a type of elemental magic, and as someone adept at controlling…
    • 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 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 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,…
