    • by Cristae Episode 42Ch. 5 ‘She really overdid it.’ Khalid shook his head, a sound of disapproval slipping out on its own. “Huff, huff. Water… Water, please…” Seeing the pale face sprawled flat before him made his frown deepen. “Tsk, seriously. What are you trying to prove?” Lying on the ground atop what looked like Leon the knight’s cloak, Rubian was gasping for breath. When Khalid offered a water bottle he’d found nearby, she clutched it as though it were holy…
    • by Cristae Episode 129 “Huh? Rubian?” Sortier grabbed hold of me. The ferryman, who had been rowing, also looked at me in puzzlement. “What’s wrong? Shall I turn the boat around?” “Ah, n-no. It’s just that my stomach…” I stammered, clutching my abdomen. A burning pain flared along my back, then quickly subsided. ‘Damn it… Why now, of all times?’ I bit my lip and squeezed my eyes shut. The pain vanished as quickly as it appeared, gone almost before I even registered…
    • by Cristae 253 In On Groo’s mind, billowy clouds transformed into a chubby baby bird. The baby bird was about to be roasted golden-brown and eaten by the wolf!

    • by Cristae Episode 180 Leviathan was listening to Leon’s report in the knights’ headquarters. Once again, there had been sightings of a small pack of magical beasts. “This time, it’s in the eastern Hedden region of the capital. Fortunately, Yujen happened to be nearby, so he headed there immediately.” “On his way back… You've all had it tough.” “There aren’t many of them, so it shouldn’t be too difficult. So…” Leon, who had been delivering his formal report with a stony…
    • by Cristae 220 This was bad. This wasn’t the sort of harmless prank that made a good story—it was a “major incident” that brought to mind visions of juvenile detention! There was only one way out of this. ‘…I’ll have to make it a perfect crime.’ Sweat trickled down Groo’s face as his mind raced frantically, searching for a way to hide his wrongdoing.

    • by Cristae 292 Wooju, who had slightly lowered Sergey’s score, tried to ignore his prickling conscience. ‘Sorry, Sergey hyung.’ It wasn’t as if he held a grudge against Sergey. It was just that Goo Heeyeon had been paired with Groo for the chick group’s independent project this semester—and Wooju wanted that spot for himself. As if knowing how much Wooju liked Groo, Goo Heeyeon had subtly proposed a deal. Goo Heeyeon If I swap my project partner for you Goo Heeyeon Can…
    • by Cristae Episode 222 The first thing to change was the air on the tip of my nose. It was somehow humid and warm—the distinctive scent of the South. ‘Ugh, my magic…’ It was completely depleted. Though the tingling southern mana clung to my whole body, it wasn’t nearly enough. I swallowed hard, feeling truly nauseous, and just as I tried to open my tightly shut eyes— “Ruby.” A large, familiar form filled my vision. Strong arms wrapped firmly around my back, and a wave of mana…
    • by Cristae Episode 48 “Rubian, miss?” “Hello, Doctor Borvel.” I managed a mechanical smile as I greeted him politely. Honestly, I was halfway out of my mind. Borvel gave a thoughtful hum and set me in a chair. “Are you feeling unwell?” “No, I’m extremely, absolutely, perfectly healthy.” I did three full laps of the mini training ground just today. It’s just that I’ve caught a peculiar illness: I can’t call His Grace by any name at all. Is it incurable? Is this the…
    • by Cristae 【——!】 【Eye】 erupted in a long, shrill scream. Si Zhiyan noticed. He turned his gaze over, an expression full of resentment and hatred, tinged with a hint of despair, fixed intently on Si Zhiyan, unable to look away. Of course. Si Zhiyan took a moment to adjust his collar and smiled. During the battle strategy meeting that day, someone raised a question. “If… if 【Eye】 really lets loose and starts slaughtering ordinary players, wouldn’t we be completely powerless to fight…

    • by Cristae Episode 150 Mimics the target’s appearance and actions. Grew took out the parrot doll and sat it on the closed toilet. “Grew, are you done yet?” “Yeees—” The parrot doll replied in her stead. After patting the parrot’s head, Grew climbed onto the toilet tank and wriggled through the vent. At a fork, she checked both directions and chose the right-hand path. ‘This is it.’ She carefully opened the vent and peeked out— “I’m heading out to provide…

    • by Cristae Episode 151 “I don’t need you to look at mine.” Khalid grumbled briefly, but Grandfather just chuckled and slung an arm around his shoulders. “Where are you trying to run off to? I’ll make sure you’re thoroughly humiliated. I’ll be evaluating with a cold and meticulous eye… huh?” Grandfather broke off mid-sentence, and I cocked my head curiously. Professors were swarming around the A-Class podium. To be precise… in front of Khalid’s works… “Oh my. What…
    • by Cristae As I pouted in silence, Lord Zevert clicked his tongue. Suddenly, his sharp gaze swung to the butler standing behind me. “Morris! Didn’t you say the meal was over? You should have mentioned she was in the middle of her snack! Even a dog’s not disturbed while eating!” “I… I failed to consider Lady Rubian’s snack schedule, my lord.” Drip, drip. I could almost hear the sound of Butler Morris’s sweat hitting the floor. “What are you standing around for!” I creaked as I…
    • by Cristae Episode 259 “……” Steady breaths touched his skin, then drifted away. He sat before the bars, gazing quietly at the woman who slept, her head pillowed on his palm. This was serious. Now, he knew how those gentle features curved when she smiled. ‘Just once more…’ Would he not see it again? Suddenly, he felt the gritty sensation of dirt on the back of his hand. Despite the supremely uncomfortable position, there was no pain. Rather, he was just grateful that this…
    • by Cristae Episode 229 But this time, Mother's hand gently rose. "I’m absolutely against it, too." "Sorry, Rub. I’m opposed as well." "…Excuse me, but what is this conversation? Who’s the real daughter here?" Liam seemed to mutter something, pale and aghast, but I couldn't hear him over my shock at my family's reactions. "What the—why! Why are you against it!" "Because it’s obviously a trap." Father, arms crossed and one leg slung over the other, calmly assessed the…
    • by Cristae Episode 51 “People make a lot of mistakes, you know?” “Huh….” “And we spend our lives forgiving and being forgiven. Children like you deserve to be forgiven all the more.” The caretaker tapped her cocoa cup. “First spicy, then sweet. Isn’t that the truth of life?” “…” Is it really that simple? It was something I had never experienced in my past life. One misstep meant the end. I probably misstepped twice, and so I had to lose my family twice. The…
    • by Cristae 217 On Suhyeong set his phone down, his expression troubled. For a brief moment, all eyes were fixated, waiting to see how China would react to On Joorim’s inflammatory remarks. Yet the response, instead of the expected hardline stance, was so mild it almost seemed cautious, and everyone was left scrambling to analyze the situation. There were hushed speculations that this might be about the Kriteto trade, but it was still only an F-grade item—a product with merely potential for…
    • by Cristae 76From a distance came the faint sound of carriage wheels. A woman’s wide, startled eyes framed by the window. Himself, running toward that sight… What kind of memory was this…? At that instant, the shouts of people rang out. “There’s been a kidnapping! They’ve taken noble children!” “…!” Khalid’s head snapped up. The weakened force holding him together quickly gathered itself back with perfect balance. “Ruby!” The wavering steps turned into a dead sprint…
    • by Cristae Episode 41 “That’s… That can’t be true.” “……” “Ruby, I swear, I wasn’t really mad at you. Okay? You know that, right?” Void hurried over on quick little steps and hovered around Rubian in circles. When he acted like a puppy in need of a walk, Rubian—who had been pouting—suddenly burst into laughter. “Alright, alright. I know you weren’t mad. Satisfied?” At times like this, she really does seem like an adult… In any case, seeing Rubian laugh, Void…
