Swords clashed. The collision of divine power, bursting with multicolored flames and lightning. A halo, brimming with sanctity, hovered over our heads. Adonis, caught in shock, his eyes wide as saucers. All of it was vividly clear, as if time itself had stopped. Zap-Crack! Suddenly, a burst of light erupted from the crossed holy swords….

Late at night, at Victoria’s dormitory. “Yawn~ I think it’s time for bed.” “Stop reading fantasy novels for now.” “Oh! You might scoff, but this is a splendid novel filled with imperial wisdom! If you read this, you’d be utterly surprised! No, I’ll recommend it to you. For beginners, this is definitely the best…!” “I…

Sword Defense (F). A passive skill that nullifies an attack when it receives a ‘hit’ determination, giving a ‘defense’ judgment instead. When the phrase ‘GUARD!’ appears over a character, it signifies that Sword Defense has been activated. Huh? A skill I’ve never seen before—when and where did you acquire it? ‘After defeating Mr. Lérang, I…

Rezé muttered something ominous, but I had already declared my participation in the battle. There was no turning back now. ‘It must be just a part of the game’s plot. Rezé is no prophet…’ I brushed off the anxiety and was about to grab my sword when it happened. Twinkle, twinkle. The eyes of the…

The conversation between Teron and Yuridia began, with me right in the middle. “We’ll have to exclude ourselves from the lineup.” Yuridia nodded in agreement to Teron’s statement. ‘If a leader were to step forward and…

With a flick of her fan after wiping the blood, Victoria, although regal in appearance through her eyes, looked merely fifteen to me. Yet, Victoria’s influence was not to be underestimated as childish. “What seems to be the problem? Surely, you’re not planning something as crude as reducing your opponents by sheer numbers.” “Ha! As…

“Look at those guys, sprawled flat on the ground.” “Don’t they know any manners?” Several kids mocked the children of the Holy Kingdom who were praying as they passed by. “Tsk tsk, ignorant fools. I wonder if they even know what prayer is.” “Let’s just leave them be. Mocking them is all we can do…

[Will you change to ‘Caron’s Rat’?] I blankly stared at the system window that appeared before me. As you can see, this game has a reclassing quest. You could go to a specific character to request a reclass, but sometimes, like now, the change of class is offered to you. Stats, level, affinity, relationships with…

Caron returned about three hours later, having been busy sifting through, collecting, and organizing the information before making his way back here. During that time, I wasn’t merely idling away.
