Lake Kingdom Dungeon, Zone 10. ‘The Farm’. In the heart of the city, a vast expanse of land suddenly unfolded. Endless rows of fruit trees, planted at precise intervals like blades, stretched out before the eyes. On one side, a barn; on the other, fields and paddies… Originally, it was a top-grade farm exclusively supplying…

Crackle, crackle… The campfire blazes. Though I still haven’t completely left Zone 10, I had to rest. My body, having been submerged in the spirit world before emerging, was far from its best condition. I couldn’t keep moving for long. I found an abandoned building and entered, gathering some firewood to start a fire. Salome…

After defeating the entire Frost Giant Legion. “Damn it.” After rummaging through the collapsed palace and grabbing some usable bags and clothes, without a hint of regret, I didn’t look back and headed towards the darkness on the other side of the Lake Kingdom, with Salome following me in shock. “Wait, where are you going?!”…

The Succubus Queen’s palace is vast. Enclosed by high fences and stone walls, the palace consists of five buildings, scattered across a wide area. Boom! Boom! Boom! The Frost Giants, who had penetrated the palace fence, began to search each of the palace buildings, spreading out widely. There were twenty of them in total. Twenty…

“Seriously, that’s too much! Why do you always hit me every time you see me?” Salome, holding her jaw and tearing up, yelled at me. “After all the trouble I went through to save you, you resort to violence without a second thought! You’re the worst human ever!” “Shut up, monster. If I’m the worst…

Afterward, I started studying internet broadcasting. I watched other people’s broadcasts, learning the culture and rules of this field, understanding firsthand how this world operated. Only then did I realize how ignorant I had been. As I applied what I learned, viewers gradually started trickling in. I added a webcam to my broadcast. I bought…

I don’t have particularly fond memories of my childhood. I was born to a poet father and a singer mother. They met in a jazz bar and fell in love at first sight. It sounds romantic, but reality is often less glamorous. My father was a poet. More accurately, an aspiring poet. He spent his…

Throughout this time, I’ve always been in contemplation. What’s right and wrong. Whether my choices are indeed just. To ponder, hesitate, and agonize… meant I was still human. But no longer. Contemplation is but a luxury. Hesitation, in the face of monsters, is nothing but poison. My enemies are wrong for merely existing in this…

“No, think about it, Lucas.” I opened my mouth with a smile. “It’s not just about simple self-destruction. If we use these guys as targets, the monsters will be effectively lured in, and it’s efficient for us to concentrate our crossfire.” “…” “Is that all? Imagine dropping these prisoners behind the monsters. We can reverse…

Evangeline was right. The people of Crossroad were resilient, and the city’s recovery was swift. A month had passed since the end of the defensive battle. The corpses of the goblins had been thoroughly cleared, leaving no trace, and their spilled blood had been cleaned. The returning residents began to resume their lives as before….
