Delghar roared. His battle axe chased Altair through the sky. Her rapier flashed golden light against Delghar’s brown, muddy tentacles. A jab of her rapier struck a patch of his muddy brown suit. It felt as if she were cutting through hard rubber. Sheena scoffed from a distance when she saw how Altair kept her distance afte...
“Sir knight, I have cured your legs. Could you check them for any issues?” Eli puffed out her chest as she cleaned the table where she treated Bernard. Count Shadowstep had given Eli permission to treat the wounded soldiers at a building near the town square.
Eli thought she would need to do it in a shack near the w...
“James, Sanders, three of Xiaoming’s group, and three of Bernard’s group from Australia will explore the new area while we handle the defenses of the settlement. If we can find water, that would be for the best,” Andrew said.
“I can use water magic.” James shrugged. Water had never been an issue for him. He ...
Altair and the general moved their armies toward Sicily, preparing for a second siege. Now that she knew about Sheena’s tricks and the guns, Altair felt confident. It had been two days since their battle, and her hand had fully healed. She was eager for a rematch. Alas, Sheena had not come out to meet her.
A message from Guardian Command interrupted me before I had the chance to apply for that movie’s audition two days later. It asked any available Guardian for their service in the Next Leap project. I ultimately agreed because I wanted to gather some essence for myself and test how my tools had worked.
“So they decided not to raid dungeons anymore?” James scowled as Ryan finished the report. The recruits had taken money for doing nothing, and when the actual work came calling, they backed out. Admirable—true leeches. James wasn’t the model employee, but he never backed down from a job.
[Congratulations, you have leveled up to Level 59. Your Attacker class has reached Level 42. You have earned 500 coins. You have obtained a novice dungeon core.]
James stared at the core in his hand. A dungeon core—obtained in less than three hours. Before he had the chance to do anything, all the monsters vanished, l...
“We have returned!” Kaina jumped and hugged Kouki. “We won! We defeated a medium dungeon!”
While the lovebirds were celebrating, James noticed four soldiers talking over their walkie-talkies in the distance. Two soldiers came over and saluted, only to be pulled into a hug by Sanders.
“Welcome. Please make yourself at home.” I welcomed the two girls to the condominium.
“Do you live alone? Where are your parents?” Francesca asked.
“Um… no. Apart from the staff — Sebastian and Edward — my uncle Kageyama lives here. He was busy today, though; he rarely sleeps at home. As for my par...
“Ugh…” Nausea and lethargy weighed on Elidranthia as she walked past the field hospital. Too many were injured—lacerations from monster claws, poison from fangs, bodies mangled beyond repair, half-eaten by the hungry horde.
Eli was a level 6 mage, true, but far from omnipotent. Without the proper training and kn...
“Fuck! James! Why didn’t you help us sooner!” It wasn’t Andrew, but Hain who roared at James. He had been promised a chance to become a knight—a chance to improve, to gain something from this hellhole—and James had ruined it by not intervening.
“The knights are still alive. They would have attacked me if I...
“You’ve got to protect me!” The grandmaster raised his orb toward three seraphs of Pestilence: one with a halberd, one with a sword, and one with a short spear. The seraphs were smaller than Andrew remembered, but why should he be surprised by any changes now? Their numbers made up for their strength, even more than the...
“Yuri-sama! What a nice day today! You have been going to classes for one week in a row now, so I thought we could have lunch together! We are friends, right?” Nana hopped onto my desk, bringing three lunch boxes. Was she planning to give them to me? There is no way she expected me to finish two lunch boxes, right?
Leafa was hard at work. The campaign on Latvin affected not only Cecile and the others, but it indirectly affected her territory. Thanks to the master blacksmiths they had in the region, she had no trouble making the gun. All that remained was the ammunition.
She could make the bullets, but not the gunpowder. The alchem...
Alarms rang through the silent night, breaking the peace that lulled the city. Jadenbale woke from his bed with a start. Despite partying all night, Shadowstep hadn’t forgotten to post a night watch. It was rare, but night monster raids had happened in the past. The last time it happened was ten years ago.
“Phew! That was a lot longer than I thought. I thought we were goners back there. How long have we been fighting?” Kouki plopped onto the floor, his arm sore. It had been an awful experience. Thanks to being the squire, he had some leeway when infected creatures splashed their goo on him. But it still hurt when they attac...
“They want us to reignite the star ourselves? That’s crazy! If this is so important, why don’t they do it themselves? At the very least, help us!” Kouki was distraught. He couldn’t believe they told them to light the star on their own just because the knights had to guard the village. They really had no shame!
“Can’t you do a class change by yourself? Why do we need to do it inside the Guardian Command?” I asked Felicia.
“It is done as a formality so Guardian Command knows how many Guardians have which class.” The answer surprised me. I thought they had some sort of unique equipment with Guardians sleeping inside a ...
“Hm… Those bandits certainly had more loot than I expected.” Count Shadowstep called an appraiser to evaluate some of the loot taken from their hideout. Shadowstep had recouped his debt from John’s trial just from these.
“Milord?”
“Ah, Rodrick! How is it going? Have you told Duke Slane and Duk...
Hiro tilted his head, wondering what had caused the level-up. He didn’t recall doing anything, but soon got a ping from his clones that inhabited Leafa. His level-up came right after his session with her.
When he opened the notification window, a blue box appeared:

Shorts #0: Debut
Hello everyone~! This is your cute and cheerful VTuber, Lily2020! Nice to meet you...
“Hm… there is nothing here. Where do you think Andrew planned to reignite the star?” James looked around. It was wasteland and forest as far as the eye could see.
“It should be in that ruined city. But it’s in shambles—we only have the cores. I have no idea how he planned to do it. Andrew kept most de...
“Phew. That was nerve-wracking. Thanks for the help. You came at the right time,” James said. It could have been dangerous—he didn’t think he could win against it alone. The seraph was fast, and he had been caught off guard. If he fought it on open plains, he might have had the advantage. But here, in the tight spaces...
