    • by Cristae 334 It all happened in a single instant. Dozens of railguns fired simultaneously in a straight volley. Pshoooo— Steam rose from various places. Standing among the fallen monsters was a child, gripping a fork tightly in her hand. Chick Drones hovered around her, as if protecting her. ‘What on earth…’ Theodora swallowed hard.

    • by Cristae 180 Serhi…! Groo grabbed the edge of Serhi’s jacket as he went running after the camera crew—a silent plea to do something, anything. But Serhi hugged Groo tightly and said, “I only know how to kill things like that, not how to stop them…” He knew no way to subdue without destroying.

    • by Cristae 363 Reprieve: The act of postponing a set date or time for something, or such a period. Groo sighed heavily after searching the meaning of “reprieve” on her phone.

The ‘handsome detector’ Groo had refined at Orchestra was pinging away. ‘Hmm. He really…
    • by Cristae 350 Before the great door that led to the Cradle— Ensuring none could pass, Mephisto stood in the cold silence, hand tightly gripping the sword's hilt.

Our rookie hunter here, no one would bat an eye if he reawakened as S-class, would they? Gentlemen, the future of South Korea looks bright!” Pyroclasto faltered as it sensed Taemin’s massive magical…
    • by Cristae 322 Negotiations with the government regarding the ‘On Ijo disclosure’ were progressing sluggishly. “As you know, there are many factors to consider.

    • by Cristae 6 "Should I—should I help you?" "…?" Question marks popped up above all three of their heads. Chuen cautiously guided Groo to sit across the table from them.

"Oh…" "Ooh…" They all listened to Chuen's words with the same expression—'As expected of such a remarkable informant!' Gong Jinman switched his phone to his other hand. "Come on, Seunghyun. You're her classmate; you…
    • by Cristae 175 Chapter: Loved Caregiver Management Grew opened the blueprint for a new factory. Before her eyes, the schematic of the plant unfolded as a hologram.

    • by Cristae 331 The Next Day, at the Campsite. Iromi and Nayeon set up the last camping chair at a spot where the wide mountain scenery could be seen in one sweeping glance.

    • by Cristae 319 The brothers, visibly more at ease, greeted Groo as she came back in. "Looks like you've worked things out a bit." "Sorry, Dad. I'm sorry you had to see us like this after so long." "You should be apologizing to the child." "Oh, right." At that, Joorim walked up to Groo, bent at the waist, and met her eyes. "I got too worked up and said things I shouldn't have. You should never repeat words like that. I know I shouldn't, I'm really sorry." "I won't learn them. It's…
    • by Cristae 154 "…Grue, what is this?" Swallowing his mounting questions, Jurim gently pointed at the sprout and asked. "Um?" Ah—Grue flashed a wide grin. "It's my plant. Grue's raising it." She stroked the wilted sprout tenderly. ‘Seriously? On her head?’ Jurim stared at his daughter, as if seeing an alien whose flowerpot was her own head—but after a moment, ‘…Well, it's cute, so I suppose it's fine.’ He decided to accept his daughter as she was. She didn’t seem…
    • by Cristae 234 In her excitement, Groo failed to notice.

His sharp gaze quickly softened into one of…
    • by Cristae 352 Joorim, having hurriedly escaped the snowy plain, stared in disbelief at the scene before her. Her child, beating a fully grown adult to a pulp—it was nothing short of shocking. A jumble of thoughts clouded Joorim’s mind as she stood amidst the crumbling remains of the dungeon, lost briefly in contemplation. Is my child this way because of my parenting? As Kabaron’s screams rang out and she hesitated, the tremors from the collapsing dungeon caused Groo and Bailach to stumble…
    • by Cristae 286 Chapter Let’s Go for a Walk There are many things one needs when walking a dog. Waste bags, a small spade, and a harness… “Grrrr—” When On Groo picked up the pink harness, Yulian growled. On Joorim, scared Groo might get bitten, stepped forward out of concern. “I’ll do it.” “No!

    • by Cristae 344 “T-this is the master of every forest, the Witch of Truth—Groote Critato of the Famine Crop Clan, Father!” The lord, Romelun, blinked at his son’s earnest proclamation, but soon his gaze softened. “Kerun, the Witch of Truth is just a character from fairy tales…” Regardless, Groo, perched in Kerun’s grasp, thrust his fork at the lord and declared, —I am not ugly!
