Eventually, I had to release the door. Duty called, and while I could put off my rounds for a little while, I couldn’t allow dust to accumulate elsewhere forever. Actually, my routine would have to be altered. As much as my new capabilities allowed me to do my job better, they also expanded my domain. This great power came with many costs. One might even say responsibility. My expectations for myself only grew. I was slightly worried that I’d soon be able to cover more ground than I could effectively…-

The first thing Bee did was find all the snacks that the mages had hidden. She started by checking the desk drawers. Eventually, her nose and grumbling stomach led her behind the books on the shelves. Altogether, there wasn’t too much, just a few ends of bread and a moldy wedge of cheese. She also found half a watermelon, but it was spoiled. She gathered it all on the table. The food wouldn’t last very long, and some were already pretty stale. Not wanting to waste anything, she started munching…

Bee frantically scrambled backward, putting as much distance as she could between herself and the newly-appeared black demon. It advanced on her slowly, as if it didn’t have a care in the world. The Imp was not to be ignored, however. It continued to claw and scratch at her, its face twisted with rage and frustration. Her hands were burning from the efforts of defending herself. Desperately, Bee racked her brain for a way to get out of this situation. She needed an out and fast. The Imp reared back to…

There were a total of eight rooms with their doors open enough that I could enter. Four of these were rooms like the first I had found. These were in much better condition than the first. Clearly, not all the humans in this place needed my example. Still, as their occupants were away, I cleaned them as best I could. Rooms that were not the cramped quarters used for sleeping were more challenging and captivating. One of these was a long room with white lighting and tiled floors. It had rows of work…

Quivering, Bee watched the door. It didn’t move again, but sounds continued to come through. There was a light splashing. It was standing in the puddle right outside. Bee flinched back, and it put more pressure on her bad leg. The terror was the only thing that allowed her to bite back the scream bubbling at her lips. Frozen, she stared at the door for what felt like eons. Rhythmic splashes continued. Never ceasing. It must have known Bee was here and was taunting her. As she watched, the pool of…

I made my way out of the large room. I avoided the puddles of yellow liquid left behind by the humans. Edging around the partially open door, I found myself at a junction. It was clear where the humans had gone. Stretched out in front of me, I saw the evidence of the humans’ flight in the form of a powdery trail. They had gone down the long wide hallway. This floor was made of granite rather than marble. A solid choice, it is perhaps a less shiny material, but it was less prone to damage and required…

Bee was having a bad week. She might have considered it the worst week of her life. But when the screaming began, it definitely became the worst. Bee huddled in the broom closet where she was hiding. Not sure what to do, she was frozen, too scared to move, and barely even able to breathe. She hadn’t initially minded when her father suddenly declared that she’d be taking a position at the local mage’s association. Heck, she’d even been excited. Seeing the mages work in their element, creating…

I bumped into the chair leg again. My archnemesis. I didn’t let it ruffle my composure. I paused for a second, backed up, rotated precisely 15 degrees, and tried again. I repeat until I have navigated around the obstacle. Despite the inconvenience, I wasn’t too disturbed; my humans sometimes would challenge me by changing up the scenery and providing new impediments to my progress. It gave me something to look forward to. Plus, I didn’t have any problems keeping up with the work, despite their best…

After having breakfast and seeing Hana off, I promptly went to Arikawa Dungeon. E-rank dungeon 【Arikawa Dungeon】, a dungeon that I have captured twice in the past. The dungeon capture rewards given from capturing this dungeon was 2 level-ups with most of the monsters that appear along the way being Wolves. But, their fighting power was not so different from that of ordinary wolves. In other words, they're enemies that anyone with a little experience as an adventurer could beat. "Like Shion Dungeon,…

He appeared on the training ground. Elder Zachary and Nina were already anticipating his arrival. Seeing him appear, Zachary pulled out three scrolls of teleportation and handed them over to him. "Use them when you want to return to the palace or explore other places in the wind kingdom. You can safely teleport to anywhere within the land of wind by using it but outside of the land there's a high chance to face spatial disturbance," he explained. When Whittaker gazed at the scrolls, Noah notified him of…-
