“Phew, that’s a relief. Thanks, Ash.” Wiping herself down with the towel I handed her, Nameless gratefully offered me a handshake. “What happened, Nameless? Why were you inside Jormungandr?” Ignoring the handshake with forced casualness, I asked Nameless. How on earth do you wind up doing a miraculous rendezvous inside a monster’s belly? What the…

Crossroad was peaceful. Ash, the Lord and Commander, had ordered an evacuation, and a refuge had been prepared in the northeast of the city. Citizens had begun to pack their belongings, making their way to the refuge where clean water, food, and various facilities were provided. Contrary to the current situation labeled as “evacuation,” the…

“Hello, I’m Fox…” “I’m Rabbit…” Two mages from the support troops greeted me nervously. Both of them were dressed in the black uniforms of the Imperial Army, topped with the white robes unique to the mage corps, hoods and all. Due to an impromptu party reshuffling, we were tasked with destroying the spinal nerve center…

How much time had passed? Kugung, kugugung… After the world-shattering vibrations and whirlwind of dirt and rocks finally settled, I came to my senses. A clear blue sky greeted me. We had escaped the mountainous region and reached the plains. Heading further north would lead us to another forested area, but hopefully, we wouldn’t experience…

A raid party of 3 groups, 15 people. Before dawn broke, we finished our preparations and teleported to the Lake Kingdom’s shoreline. We stood at a vantage point overlooking the dark lake, waiting for the emergence of Jormungandr. “Hee-ya, cha-cha-cha!” Next to me, Kellibey was doing some sort of exercise as he looked out over…

Operation Jormungandr Repulsion, One Day Before Execution. Essentially, all possible preparations had been completed. The heroes had finished their training, and ample quantities of picks, hammers, and other equipment crafted by Kellibey had been secured. The ordinary soldiers had also completed their formation drills. The citizens were prepared for evacuation, and shelters had been set…

After the meeting dispersed, and the party members went their separate ways to their accommodations, I found myself alone, teleporting into the dungeon. — Flash! The base camp was still eerily empty. Despite its ample space, the only NPCs in sight were the magic blacksmith Kellibey and teleport specialist Coco the Severer. “Hmm…” Originally in…

After the summoned meeting had ended and the heroes were dispersing, Junior was about to leave the lord’s mansion and head to her own hotel room. But Reina Windwell blocked her way. “Hey, Jupiter’s daughter.” Leaning against the door at an angle, the woman who blocked her path looked like some sort of third-rate thug….

I explained what happened yesterday, and Damien seemed disheartened to hear he had lost control again. This was the second time he had gone berserk. I couldn’t turn a blind eye any longer. “So, you’re under arrest for now.” One of Damien’s arms was shackled to the wall with a metal chain and handcuffs. It…

In a small orphanage built halfway up a rural mountain, Damien and Van grew up. The director of the orphanage, who had lost a son to war, took in war orphans. The director was wealthy, and occasional donations came in; at a glance, the orphanage seemed to be in decent shape. Well, if you excluded…
