Chapter 5 “Don’t say something so ridiculous. What possible reason could there be to call you now, after three years?” “If you find it hard to believe, why don’t you ask the Duke yourself?” “……” “Or you could inquire with the butler if you prefer.” Barak must know the truth. The only reason I stand…
Chapter 4 Is it possible to easily express the betrayal from those I considered family as mere anger? Despite spending eight years together, they made it impossible for me to offer any excuses. The one I trusted as a brother nearly severed my wrist, and even my own father was killed… Can I explain all…
Chapter 3 The path leading to my room was in a south-facing building that received the most sunlight. It was also the space traditionally used by the children of the duchy. The top floor was reserved for April, the only daughter, while the second floor was occupied by the duke’s second son. As I ascended…
Chapter 2 ‘You.’ The duke stuttered, as if he had not anticipated a positive response. ‘Anything you desire.’ Despite his promises, he would not grant my wishes. The smell of the old hut I had lived in for the past three years tickled my nostrils. The damp scent of wood and Alicia’s olive-green eyes, which…
Chapter 1 “With that condition, it’s impossible for April to appear in public.” At the Duke Alexis’s remark, all eyes around the dining table turned towards April. Rian, Barak, the head butler, and even the household staff who had been setting down the tableware—everyone’s gaze focused on her. The only person who didn’t look…
Chapter 45 “Hehe.” The 7-star skill pack, the highest tier for beginners, wasn’t something he even dreamed of acquiring. The 6-star, specifically a pet-exclusive skill, would be worth bowing towards the direction of Lase’s headquarters. It was truly the best possible outcome. Out of sheer curiosity, he checked the remaining four cards to see if…
Chapter 25: Three Cuts (part 4) Ralph, seeing his grandson, wore a slightly surprised expression. ‘Much, that kid….’ He had spent more time with Much since he was a newborn babe than his own parents. But this was the first time he’d seen such a look in Much’s eyes. Even from a distance, the resentment…
Chapter 24: Three Cuts (part 3) The end of a sweltering summer. A short autumn would pass, and then the long, long winter would arrive. The entire continent bustled in preparation for the coming winter, but there was one place busier than all the rest. The Dragon’s Cradle, preparing to welcome a new batch of…
Chapter 23: Three Cuts (part 2) The mana core, the heart of Martial Arts, and the mana roads, its skeleton. These two elements determine the characteristics of a Martial Arts technique. The Martial Arts technique Johan had newly created was based on the Redner family’s Martial Arts. To be precise, Johan had simply improved upon…
Chapter 22: Three Cuts (part 1) Mu-chi, caught off guard by the bold declaration directed at him, floundered, unsure of what to do. “Ah… that….” A wicked grin spread across Yuri’s lips as he witnessed the scene. Before Mu-chi could react, Yuri’s figure shot forward with blinding speed. Thump- Six meters were compressed within a…
Chapter 44 In Lasse, the methods for acquiring skills were largely standardized. First, upon changing jobs at level 10, players receive about 2 to 4 skills. There were variations depending on the job, but on average, that was the standard. Then, there’s one Beginner Skill Pack for every 5 levels. 99.9% of the skills learned…
Chapter 30 To begin with, let me say that a deal was indeed struck between Chun Soo-man and me. Why? After all that bold talk, why did I agree? Yes, I live on my own terms! I walked out of the principal’s office with flair, my pride soaring. But just because I have pride doesn’t…
Chapter 43 The giant slater’s corpse turned gray, then crumbled into ash and vanished. “Phew.” “Excellent work, my lord.” “Thanks. You did well too, Tina.” Despite investing in stats, Karp felt a slight unease about Elemental Arrow being only a 3-star skill. He worried it might lack the damage needed, but fortunately, it seemed to…
Chapter 42 Carpe was the first to recover from the panic. “Woah. That startled me.” His body froze when what he thought was impossible actually happened. But thinking calmly, this giant bug in front of him wasn’t a formidable enemy. Compared to Mainades and the backing spirits he encountered in the pit dungeon, the bug…
Chapter 41 Not long after they passed the treasure chest, three large snails blocked their path. “Kyuruk?” Their pinkish hue suggested these “Large Snails with Hard Shells” were about 5 to 10 levels higher than Carpe. “Finally showed up, huh?” Carpe’s voice was slightly excited. It was time to debut the item he had been…
Chapter 40 At first, Carpe didn’t know who the person was referring to. “Hm. I never thought we’d meet again here. Indeed, the ties from past lives are not easily severed.” “Can’t seem to find suitable party members…” “This could be fate. If you ever need help, I might be able to assist.” “Oh, that…
