With just two days left until the start of the stage, the morning had come. I brought all four parties of my retinue to the Lake Kingdom Dungeon. Over the past week, we had cleared two dungeons in Zone 4 — the [Library] and the [Court]. The dungeons were swarming with ghouls and Fallen Bloods,…

Six days later. Lake Kingdom’s Underground Dungeon. Zone 10. The ‘Crimson Mansion’, the headquarters of the vampire legion, housed the ‘Master’s Room’ in its innermost area. Creak… Creak… The room’s owner, Celendion, was found hanging from the ceiling with a noose around his neck. “…” Staring up at Celendion were his loyal servants, Alpha and…

In the afternoon, before evening, at the entrance of the mansion. The first party to arrive at the mansion was unexpectedly not the one I called. “Jupiter?” Confused, I muttered tentatively. “What brings you here?” “…” Dressed in clean imperial army uniform, Jupiter flashed a thin smile. Despite her pale face marked with unmistakable signs…

Evangeline had destroyed four SSR-grade equipment thus far. First, the spear and shield she received as graduation gifts from the academy. I was to blame for that one.

It was filled with items that were difficult to see considering the household’s circumstances. Jupiter unloaded the items with a…

“Cough, cough!” Curled up in the bed sheets, Junior coughed. Every time she coughed, blood continued to seep from her parched throat. “Haah, huff…” Junior glared at the blood-soaked handkerchief in her hand. After using magic intensely, she always suffered from such aftereffects. ‘Plus, this time… I feel even more pain from being beaten up…’…

What came to light today was an undeniable fact. Indeed, I had no connection with the God of Gacha after all. “…” In the midst of the mountains of boxes that exploded so brutally, I was collapsed, lying like a corpse. “God of Gacha… you bastard…” How much heart did I pour out to you……

After a long trek down the corridor, we made it back to base camp a few hours later. The curse on the vertical passage had also been lifted. As I pushed open the manhole cover and climbed out, a familiar safe point greeted me. I let out a long sigh of relief. “We made it…

The Path of the Overlord sealed all skills upon initial entry. That meant there was no significant threat except for the initial cursed zone. But after conquering the coliseum and returning, the one-way restrictions of the path were lifted, and the skill seals and other restrictions were also removed. In other words… battles could occur…
