The Gold Gate stood imposingly across the field of vision, exuding a tremendous sense of awe. Billy closed his eyes and imagined the battle that had taken place here long ago. He saw himself at the center of the scene he had witnessed with one foot dipped into the River of Death and the imaginings…

Sanadiel soon excused herself, saying she would see them shortly. Until just moments ago, she had been dressed like the other maids, receiving the same treatment, but now she walked like a Queen, flanked by maids on either side. Though her appearance and clothing remained the same even with her hair down, she looked completely…

Dragged by Selina, Kassel found himself frantically carrying food and barrels of liquor. Despite being a man unknown to them, no one in the kitchen, filled only with women, questioned his presence with remarks like, ‘What are you doing here?’ The female head chef, who seemed to weigh twice as much as Kassel, blatantly ordered…

Kassel had talked so much about his experiences in Camort that he could continue the story effortlessly, without much preparation. Thanks to this, he could relax even while eating, and Irine was able to interact with him more comfortably. In the spacious dining room, only the low voice of Kassel resonated, accompanied only by the…

She had lost track of time and kept walking without much sleep. As darkness fell and visibility decreased, she stopped and looked back. Something was following her….

Dense trees that completely obscure the sky sometimes move even when there is no wind. It’s as if they are conversing with each other, exchanging information about intruders. Rocks disappear from where they were or move to another place. If one is captivated by the gradually changing terrain, they may get lost in the forest…

Billy couldn’t remember how long he had thrashed around while unconscious. He only recalled his body alternately burning like fire and then becoming so cold that his teeth chattered. Occasionally, when he looked up at the dark ceiling, a blurry haze seemed to come and go. “Billy, can you see my face?” It was Suvel’s…

Sheyden awoke to the sound of a bubbling and the delicious smell that accompanied it. A fire blazed nearby, and a warm blanket was draped over him. A small pot was perched above the flames. He looked around, but no one was in sight. Fearing the food in the pot might burn, he forced himself…
