Evangeline had fainted, fallen to the ground. Can’t blame her. She had fought despite being injured all over her body. It was impressive that she hadn’t passed out sooner. I took off my cloak and draped it over Evangeline’s body. It was getting colder. I would need to start a fire soon. “Where did… my…

Three years ago. The day Evangeline left home for the capital. The Margrave, following his daughter, handed over his cavalry spear and shield to Evangeline. They were family heirlooms passed down through generations. Though old, their quaint appearance and durability were unparalleled in the region, making them prized relics. And they were the relics Evangeline…

The materials to summon an automatic defense turret were a Magic Power core of R rank or higher, and construction materials such as stone and wood. I had an SR-ranked Magic Power core, and as for construction materials… ‘I have a lot of them.’ The golems were kind enough to smash my mansion to pieces….

When strategizing for this type of game, there’s one unchanging rule. Depending entirely on luck will inevitably lead to failure at some point. Let’s consider an example. Suppose there’s a magic spell that strikes an enemy with a hit rate of 50 percent. If you proceed in the game relying solely on the effectiveness of…

The monsters in this game were generally divided into three categories. First, the common monsters. They made up more than 90% of all monsters. Almost all the monsters belonged to this category.

Lucas, standing in front of me, stammered. “…E-excuse me?” “The rescue party consists of me and me alone. I will rescue Evangeline myself.” I told them, “None of you are joining the rescue party.”…

‘It’s okay, Evangeline. Nothing’s going to happen.’ It was a memory from her childhood. Monsters had ambushed the city that night as well. The city had become a battlefield, and the Margrave of Crossroad had urgently dashed out from his mansion towards the front lines. As always, her mother had come to Evangeline’s room and…

Boom-! Boom-! Boom-! Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-! The tumultuous sounds of drums and bells echoed through the city. Soldiers hastily assembled, scurrying to take up arms and station themselves on the city walls, where cannons and artifacts were swiftly being installed. Porters, laden with arrows, cannonballs, boiling oil, and fiery artillery, bellowed out offers to help ferry supplies….

Originally, in a tutorial stage that wasn’t meant to be conquered, I had vanquished the Black Spider Queen, a foe that should have been invincible, and procured its Magic Power Core. Typically, squaring off against the Black Spider Legion wouldn’t occur until midway through the second year. I had anticipated that equipment created from this…

“I didn’t realize you enjoyed the cultured pastime of reciting poetry.” Evangeline’s words drew an awkward smile from me. “I felt it didn’t suit the moment, so I shared it quietly. Seems I’ve been discovered.” “You’ve got a pleasing voice, how about sharing aloud next time?” Her face held no expression, her thoughts unreadable. I…
