Exoskeleton Factory — Part 3 There were two ways to use the Golden Ruler’s Staff. One, strike the target directly. Two, make them drink water infused with it. “Hoo…” I took a deep breath. Then, I reached into my golf bag and pulled out the Golden Ruler’s Staff. A golden ruler, roughly 30 centimeters long….

Exoskeleton Factory — Part 2 First, I needed to defend. I raised my left arm. Aegis deployed, merging its mana shield with holy power and earth attributes to form a rugged cubic barrier. Thud-thud-thud! Bullets pelted against it. Magically enhanced firearms. They were infused with some elemental traits, but breaking through my Aegis? Not in…

Exoskeleton Factory — Part 1 A night without even the moon. A world where gray mana clouds obscured both the moon and stars. I sat atop a towering chimney, overlooking the land below. ‘This is serious.’ In my original world, this area was home to Seoul Forest. Before Seoul Forest, there had been a racetrack,…

An Old Bet — Part 4 Giiiing— The machines roared to life. A massive ring detached from the floor and began floating in midair. A three-dimensional magic circle connected the ring to the surrounding space, glowing intensely. At its center, a single magic artifact hovered. No—two, three.

An Old Bet — Part 1 Drip. The coffee overflowed. The hand tilting the pot had frozen stiff. “What did you just say?” “The coffee is overflowing.” “Hm? Oh dear!” The Tower Master flailed his hand. The coffee pooled on the saucer shot up and smoothly flowed back into the cup, like a serpentine dragon….

Supreme Flame — Part 3 Just a few days ago, Kim Jiyoon had been living the best day of her life. She had stepped into the supermarket she often visited, not thinking much of it—until dazzling magical fireworks suddenly exploded in the air. [Congratulations, customer!] [You are our one-millionth visitor!] [As a special reward, we…

Supreme Flame — Part 2 In the game, this was a simple achievement. All you had to do was keep chugging potions. Just enough to not die. Just enough to keep your HP above zero. But reality was different. I had to endure the flames of six attributes with my own body. ‘It’s fine.’ I…

Supreme Flame — Part 1 I closed my eyes and savored the lingering sensation. Level 7. In this world, reaching Level 5 meant being treated as nobility, fully recognized as part of the privileged elite of society.
