Tyrant

The ghouls were annihilated all at once. They had fallen victim to a devastating combo of water and electric attributes. Those who fell like trash could not rise again. “Hehehe.” Junior grinned as if she had won a trophy. She was still dripping with sweat, but she had done a terrific job. This was the…

Celendion longed for death. He sought an adversary capable of ending his eternal, weary life. However, he did not desire defeat. Rather than willingly giving up his life to the enemy, he deemed it more honorable to take it himself. Thus, he didn’t take it easy on his opponents, nor did he deliberately lose. A…

Nothing was respawning. With a hint of tension, I looked down at the corpses of the ghouls swept up by the bombardment, and soon, I found myself grinning widely. “They’re done for! They’re not getting up again!” I looked around at the still dazed soldiers and called out again. “We got them, all of them!”…

The morning sun rose blindingly bright. “…” Standing atop the castle walls, I stared briefly at the radiant eastern sky before reluctantly turning my gaze southward. There, an orderly formation of monsters assembled into an army. Exasperated, I clicked my tongue. “Ghouls, what are they up to…” Truly, one could call it the Vampire King’s…

[CHAPTER 5] — Time until the start: 24 hours *** Downtown Crossroad. The barracks. The quarters of Dion Mercenary Group. “We’ve seized an opportunity.” Dion stood before his party members with a smile. “For a long time, we never received proper respect.

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 all happened because I got a 777 jackpot while trying to use a lucky strike to suppress her. Next, she bought another spear and shield set…

Inn. First floor restaurant. Jupiter and Junior sat opposite each other, and I was seated between them…eating. “…” “…” Caught between the two awkward ones, I was sweating bullets. ‘What on earth is going on?’ All I wanted to do was hand over the equipment and laugh it off. I had never thought I’d end…
