As I opened my eyes, Nameless was in front of me. “Huh?” I quickly sat up to find myself still in Zone 1 dungeon [The Dried Sewer]. The party members around me looked relieved. “Did I black out? What happened?” Confused, I looked around and asked. Nameless offered a faint smile. “You pushed yourself too…

Due to my Unyielding Commander skill, I was immune to mental status effects, making the Succubi Legion completely powerless against me. Last time, they charmed a Troll Legion to fight in their place. This time, they seemed to have put some thought into it, equipping gear that converted their magic power into physical strength. They…

“I feel like I’m in better condition than usual?” Evangeline spoke as she hopped up from her seat.

Walking down the halls of the Star Palace, Lucas was briefly lost in memories. Of the beautiful youth he’d spent here with Serenade, Alberto, and so many others. Dustia, who had tenderly cared for…

Ash seemed to be disoriented from the aftermath of coming back to life. He had fallen asleep in Dustia’s arms inside the carriage. Gently stroking her son’s smooth forehead, Dustia asked, “How did you know to come and save us?” Standing outside the carriage and looking in at his wife and son was the Emperor—Traha,…

In the garden courtyard where an engagement ceremony was unfolding, Fernandez and Lucas were discreetly engaged in a private conversation, avoiding the eyes of others. Fernandez grinned as he praised Lucas. “You’ve done an excellent job on your surveillance assignment, Lucas.” For the past five years, Lucas had diligently reported on the affairs of the…
