(TL Note: This is a passage from the poem “Erlkönig” by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a prominent German writer.) *** White Night’s first memory was…

A few days later. Dungeon Zone 8, the Grand Theater. I, sitting across the Legion Commander White Night – referred to as ‘Black Night’ in the Monstrous Front – met with this ghoulish Lich and immediately made a demand. “I was thinking, the goodwill you’ve shown seems a bit insufficient.” “…What?” Black Night uttered in…

…It’s nothing special. Even as I watched the giant eye in the sky blink and crush the Bird Monster King in one strike, I tried to think that way. It’s nothing special. It’s a formidable power, but not something we can’t handle. In the game, White Night was a troublesome boss monster. This was because…

It appeared. The robe… The last magical goblin dropped an SSR-grade item, which was a robe for magic users. Black with gold embroidery, it looked extremely luxurious at first glance. Let’s see, the name is. [Past Future (SSR)] “What’s this?!” I couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise. The ultimate mage armor, [Past Future]! This robe,…

The next day. I came to the dungeon with the main party for the first time in a while… but. “…” I’m not in a good mood. Pouting and sulking, the rest of the party members — Lucas, Evangeline, Damien, and Junior glanced at me apprehensively. “Um… Senior, is something wrong?” Eventually, Evangeline cautiously asked,…

Fortunately, there were no major events like martial arts competitions or dance festivals at this year’s New Year’s festival.
