The Demon King of the Master Swordsmanship: Chapter 42

Chapter 42  
 Perched atop a hill that overlooked the entire field, Roh Hae-choon’s gaze remained unwaveringly fixed in one direction. 
 The berserk Kumas, the earth breaking beneath it. 
 Like a grim art etched into the verdant meadow, gaping pits of raw earth scarred the green expanse in real-time, marking a chaotic battlefield….

The Demon King of the Master Swordsmanship: Chapter 40

Chapter 40  “To put it clearly, hunting and raiding are fundamentally distinct.” 
 Hunting simply means killing monsters within the Gate for magic stones and byproducts—a straightforward act of survival or hunting, nothing more. 
 Then what of raiding? Isn’t it also about eliminating monsters within the Gate? 
 True, but the purpose is entirely…

Chapter 39  “Though it may seem crude, one must accept it—as long as we live in this society, we must acknowledge the fact that a raid starts and ends with money.” 
 The class was titled “Principles of Raids.” 
 The elderly professor, boasting an impressive mustache, displayed an image on the screen. 
 “This…

The Demon King of the Master Swordsmanship: Chapter 37

Chapter 37 “How was that?” Jin Yu-ri asked with a refreshingly bright smile, one that seemed almost inappropriate given that she had just torn through a horde of trolls. Normally, someone would expect to hear empty praises like “Impressive,” or “That was amazing,” but not Jin Yu-ri. The fact that she was asking at all…

The Demon King of the Master Swordsmanship: Chapter 36

Chapter 36 The academy holds two exams each semester. Midterms and finals. It’s nothing unusual. Anyone who has gone through a standard education—elementary, middle, or high school—knows this.

Chapter 35 Meanwhile, in a remote mountain in Gangwon Province. At the Level 3 Gate where the Claw-Handed Orc Tribe resided, the site of the recent villain incident that had stirred up so much controversy, the police had maintained a tight perimeter for several days. “Seriously, can you listen to me for a second? We’ve…

The Demon King of the Master Swordsmanship: Chapter 34

Chapter 34 To be completely honest, I didn’t think much of this incident. Haven’t I seen bad people before? Just as there’s a shadow wherever there’s light, a world without villains doesn’t exist. I had simply received a mission, entered a gate, and, by chance, encountered some trash—what they call “villains” here. It was no…

Chapter 33 Meanwhile, while Park Gi-hyeok’s familiars were voraciously devouring the man-eating tree, a fierce battle erupted at the center of the gate between a masked organization and a claw-handed orc tribe. “Ugh, urgh!!” “Hey! Pull yourself together!” “What’s wrong?” “He… he suddenly collapsed.” “Suddenly? Hey, get up. What’s going on?” The captain slapped the…

Chapter 32 Ten minutes later, a masked man slumped to the ground, his lifeless body hitting the dirt with a dull thud. His face bore an almost serene expression, as if he had simply drifted off to sleep. He had cooperated fully, divulging every piece of information I demanded, so in return, I granted him…

The Demon King of the Master Swordsmanship: Chapter 31

Chapter 31 It was around the time I had just reached adulthood in the Empire. That’s when I first dabbled in black magic, and this is what the old man told me back then. “What is black magic? To put it simply, it’s magic that draws power from the deeper world we live in—the ‘Void…

The Demon King of the Master Swordsmanship: Chapter 30

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 29 Optimum Headquarters. Kim Yeon-hee and her daughter, Park Min-ji, were enjoying a rare moment of leisure together, sipping on their tea. “The aroma is wonderful.” “Is it? It’s a new blend we just got in. I’ll make sure to get you some. You have a machine at home, right?” “Yeah, I do. Thanks,…

The Demon King of the Master Swordsmanship: Chapter 28

Chapter 28 This is, essentially, the story of how my sole vulnerability was exposed during my reign as the Demon Lord, when I wielded unchallenged power and plunged the world into fear. And it was revealed to the one person I least wanted to know, the most troublesome figure in the entire Empire. “You?” “Could…

Chapter 26 The final day of the midterms. As the week-long exam, where each coin could bring tears of joy or sorrow, drew to a close, the fate of each group had become clear.
