Since I could adjust the stage configuration to my liking, I could have chosen much easier monster legions. Nevertheless, the reason I deliberately chose the named monster, the Phantom King’s legion, was simple. ‘To maximize the benefits.’ Accumulating benefits now would serve as insurance later. So, while I can exploit this cheat of the royal…

“So, it’s like this.” After hearing a few more explanations from Aider, I summarized. “The Demon King is hosting this game, ‘Doom Revelry,’ and you were the opposing player. Now, having run out of power, you’ve handed over the role to me, the proxy player.” “Yes.” “And these external gods watching us, the ‘Watchers,’ mostly…

Crossroad Square. Although restoration was progressing rapidly, there were still more ruins than anything else. Zenis and Hannibal were walking side by side on the main street. “Hehe, everyone seems so youthful…” Zenis, who had been talking about what had happened at the gathering, chuckled and then looked at Hannibal. “By the way, Hannibal, don’t…

He likes her because she eats a lot?!” “They say those who will be successful can make it with any reason, but to receive a confession for such a reason!” “Hey! I eat well too! Confess…

I was lost in thought, twirling a fountain pen in my hand. ‘The recovery of the bodies and the reconstruction of the city… It’s happening unbelievably fast.’ As the imminent destruction disappeared, people from all over the world, realizing the gravity of the frontline’s work, volunteered in droves. Thanks to…

Crossroad. Inside the ruined city. “Ouch…” Junior groaned in front of the wreckage of the inn building “Etti’s Honey.” “It’s completely collapsed, my goodness…” During Night Bringer’s first breath, the inn “Etti’s Honey,” which was swept within the breath’s range, completely collapsed. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but Junior lost the lodging she had used…

“Whoever the opponent is, no matter what dark past they hold, I will embrace them.” I declared. “No matter what darkness or ugliness they committed in the past. As long as they look in the same direction under my banner, I will strive to converse with, understand, and embrace them.” I continued speaking to the…

Before long, it was afternoon. In the late autumn weather, which had become as cold as winter, the sunshine was clear today. The people gathered like clouds welcomed this sunshine and stood under the podium, looking up at me. There were kings, soldiers, heroes, and citizens. I carefully observed each of their faces. “The monster…

Time passed. People who had evacuated began to return, and others from around the world were mobilized and flocked to Crossroad.
