After the last warnings were said and done, Fang and I were prepared to set off. The location we're headed for, the connected space to this teleportation array, was pretty close to Cleaver Kingdom's castle gate, similar to this one. And since activating teleportation would release a large blast of bright light, it would be difficult to hide them. "So, instead, we'll be accompanying a messenger into the teleportation array while in hiding." I explained the steps to Fang, who hadn't really listened…-

King Leonard approved the plan without consulting his prime minister or the others. I don't know how things run here, but I think that's not how it should go. I guess he's just that—an impulsive person. As he claimed, it didn't take long for everything else to be approved. Not only was our travel to the Cleaver Kingdom sealed, he even provided us with extra protection. "Take these with you." He said this as he passed a square box, about a foot in width, to me. Curious, I took it and quickly…

I stared at Zeshion, who was frowning deeply. After all, in this whole fiasco, he's definitely the one who got the short end of the stick. Well, other than the dead ones, of course. "I'm worried about Zeta, but there's Alpha and Eta there. She should be fine." Zeshion finally let out a sigh, as if chasing away his worries. "Before that, I think we need to ramp up our schedule, Will." "You mean..." The spies had already found my location, and they were even bold enough to launch an attack…

"Goddess Zeta was...?" As soon as I heard Ember's words, I quickly doubted their validity. After all, I can't imagine her getting injured, even with a surprise attack. She's a master of space! A god in that regard! Nobody should be able to sneak an attack on her. "What happened? How did that happen?" When I asked, Ember's eyes turned watery. She was about to cry and buried her head in my chest. "It was my fault. I was too focused on what I was doing that I didn't realize an enemy slipped…

Four in front, eight behind—this situation is definitely spelling death for me in a complicated way. The four rushed towards me, swords in hand, and aimed straight for my vital parts: Head, neck, heart, and jewels. Wait, scratch the last one. He changed it to aim for my midrib. Although I could see their actions, I couldn't evade them at all; after all, I was mid-jump. There's no way to maneuver in the air and dodge. Just as I thought, "Ah, I'm dead," four pairs of daggers flew, blocking the…

I have agreed to Zeshion's plan of becoming the bait to catch the enemy off-guard. However, with that part fixed, it makes me vacant for the next few days. "What can I do...?" The girls still had two days of training with Zeshion, while Ember was still busy with her study with Goddess Zeta. As for me, I've got nothing to do. Nothing to train at, since I should leave training the Flame of Regression later until I recovered enough good karma. "Right, there's that!" Good karma! I can stock up on…

After that, we moved everyone back to the villa while the two of us did our own things. I was reading a random book to pass the time while Zeshion was sleeping on the sofa. I'm not sure if he's truly sleeping or just closing his eyes, but whatever the case, we were too bored with nothing much to do. On the other hand, Goddess Zeta and Ember were still busy with their one-on-one lessons. She seemed to be making much progress, far from the goddess' expectations, making her want to push Ember's limits…

On the screen, Noir was walking down a long and dark pathway. For some reason, he seemed to be headed to the underground area of the castle. How did I know it was a castle? Because something like a King was the one who was guiding Noir down the steps with a torch in hand. A fat man, with a thick red cape and a dazzling jeweled gold crown, walked down while wiping the sweat falling down his face with a white handkerchief. He kept on looking at Noir and opening his mouth, seemingly talking to him like…

To use the Flame of Evolution, one simply had to cover their entire body with energy and ignite it. The ignition method was a little specific since it's burning good karma around the user, but after that, maintaining it was pretty simple. On the other hand, Flame of Regression was harder to use. Not only do you need to make sure no energy is coming out of you, but you also need to be using the Flame of Evolution together with it. One requires you to exude energy to burn, while the other requires…

Teaching? "Sorry, but no. Not yet." I quickly shook my head in denial. After all, this skill is too dangerous to learn. One misstep, and they'll die for sure. I'm just something like an outlier since I manage to survive all the time despite having nearly 100% Negative Karma. Primo did try to teach me the reverse method, the one that burns bad karma, but we ran out of time and I couldn't master it. I haven't even managed to use it successfully yet. "Why? Is it that your teacher forbids you to pass…
