Once we got out onto the street, the whole city was already in a festive mood. Normally, on New Year’s Day, the tradition is just to eat meat stew and go to the temple to pray. But this year, there were stalls set up all over the streets, and the citizens who poured out were…

Right after the conference ended. Hotel Crossroads. The backyard garden. “Shh, shh.” Seated in a wheelchair, Lilly gently rocked the sleeping Sid back and forth in her arms. Sid, drooling a little from the corner of his mouth, was peacefully asleep. ‘He used to trouble me so much when he was in my belly.’ Lilly…

The structure of the talks had become strange. This place is a righteous frontline risking lives for the world. Those who do not participate here are seen as cowards blinded by gold and vested interests. I was the one who had flipped this frame. ‘Well, it’s not exactly wrong.’ Here, it is possible to scatter…

Lilly, standing before the kings, showed evident signs of tension. Continuously swallowing dry saliva, Lilly turned to look at me. “Your, your, your Majesty. Do I really have to do this…?” “Of course. And you will do it very well.” I gently patted Lilly on the shoulder. “Please, Lilly.” “Underst…ood.” Wheeling her chair forward, Lilly…

[Defend the Empire] starts to exponentially increase in difficulty from the third year. The first and second years are practically a different game compared to the third year.

As Torkel began to carefully clean around the ruined entrance, Head Priest Zenis rushed out from inside. “Torkel!” Torkel blinked and looked at Zenis. Zenis, standing in front of Torkel, gestured in disbelief. “You should…

The fallen Medusa lay sprawled on the southern plains. I slowly approached her. As I did, Medusa, coughing up blood, lifted her head. “This… human…” Kiiiing- The sound of the evil eye’s activation rang out. But I snorted in derision. “What are you looking at? Be wary of your eyes.” Crack! I lifted my foot…

The complete Gorgon’s rock carapace not only possessed overwhelming physical resistance but also had an insane magical defense trait that reduced the effects of the opponent’s magic by more than half. Moreover, being entirely made of stone, as long as there were rocks and dirt around, it could recover from any damage. In short, it…

Roooooooooar! Onboard the Imperial flagship Alcatraz. Gazing down at the looming sight of Crossroad, I clenched my teeth at the monster standing there. “…The complete form of the Gorgon.” The final phase of the Gorgon Sisters. The last of them, having devoured the fallen two, transforms into the complete Gorgon. This entity, possessing the strength…
