Right after returning to Crossroad. “Mourning comes after the battle is over.” After announcing the death of the Insect Busters, I gritted my teeth and gave orders. “We need to gather information.” Everyone’s face turned pale as they focused on my words. I pressed my tired forehead with my hand. “This creature is not just…

The giant head of the King of Flies exploded into pieces. We all held our breath and watched this spectacle. In a moment of silence, I swallowed dryly. The massive body of the King of Flies, now headless, staggered. The halos that were rotating above stopped altogether, and the infinite orbits behind it gradually came…

The demon race possesses its own unique authority. This power, known as ‘Sacrifice,’ allows the caster to recover or enhance their strength by sacrificing their own kind. Demons fundamentally receive sacrifices from their worshippers, using these offerings to grow their own power, making them a race that flourishes on the act of sacrifice. The ‘Sacrifice’…

Lake Kingdom. Somewhere in the depths of darkness. “…” The court jester, ‘The Pied Piper’ — Crown, stood quietly on these darkened streets.
