“Once again, I am deeply sorry for my men’s behavior, Lady Linette. Please give me a moment to fix them into shape,” Captain Rhys said apologetically while containing his rage and shame. “Make it quick,” Linetta permitted while casting a brief but chilling glance at the young warriors. “Thank you, Lady Linette.” “Dammit, why does our captain have to keep apologizing to—” “Enough!!!” Captain Rhys snapped and scanned the young warriors with his fierce. They don’t seem like they…-

‘What a monster!’ Caelan’s eyes gleamed with malice when he looked at Vaan. The person had stripped him of all paths to life and condemned him to die by revealing everything. Death was almost inevitable, but Caelan was unwilling to resign to his fate. He didn’t betray everyone only to die a dog’s death anyway. At the very least, he had to drag someone to hell with him. “Arghhh, I’ll kill you!” Caelan roared at Vaan. All of his despair was quickly transformed into anger and hatred,…

After hearing Vaan’s claim, Captain Rhys immediately exploded with outrage and glared at his men. He didn’t doubt Vaan’s words for even a second—not because he believed Vaan, but because he was well aware of his men. They were still new recruits, untrained, undisciplined, self-entitled, and weak-minded. The Steelguard Escort Group’s training would teach them to become respectable warriors like real men. But before they complete the training, they are still brats sucking on their mamas’…

“Haaa, I did some reflection last night,” Old Ronnie sighed to hide his fear before saying, “That group clearly doesn’t want us to tag along. As such, we shouldn’t insist. We’ll just wait for the next escort group that passes by.” “T-the next escort group that passes by? We don’t know when that would be. It could take days or even a whole week! If we stay in Sunpeak Town for that long, we might as well stay here for life!” the person said with shock. After all, three days was enough…

“Ahhh! What the hell, Captain!” Several young men cried after their heads smacked against the cold wooden floor. The pain immediately roused their minds awake. Even so, they still felt like shit from their hangovers. “Urgh… I feel sick.” One of the young men felt like throwing up all of last night’s food and drinks, but the urge to piss quickly became predominant. However, the moment he stood up and saw the morning mist outside the open window, his brows furrowed with doubt. “Is it…

‘Time to go back inside, Topaz.’ ‘Kyuu…’ Topaz was reluctant, but she still obediently returned to Vaan and disappeared inside his body after he gave her the order. Shortly after, Vaan stepped outside his room after organizing Lady Solana’s books and research papers into a neat stack and leaving them on the bedside table. “Quite an early bird you are, Sir Vaan,” a voice directed at him as Vaan exited the room. “I believe the term ‘early bird’ is inappropriate when neither of us…

‘I thought I had flexible choices, but my choices are only given from a fixed set of choices. The abilities I unlocked are related to my bloodlines and physiques,’ Vaan mused. Nevertheless, Vaan didn’t dwell on it. The system might not have been omnipotent as he expected in terms of aiding his growth and evolution, but his potential wasn’t any less without it. ‘Spatial Bloodline, huh?’ Vaan paused with a calm look. He didn’t find it surprising to have such a bloodline. His…

Vaan found it had to believe that he had become the seventh Great Devil Contractor. It wouldn’t add up with everything he had learned about the Great Devils and their Contractors. Even when little information from outside the seven witch kingdoms was known, the seven Great Devils and the six existing Great Devil Contractors were special exceptions. After all, the six Great Devil Contractors obtained powers that rivaled Transcendent Witches, not to mention the seven Great Devils that stand far beyond…

‘Kyuu?’ The Unnamed Fairy tilted her head at Vaan’s comment with a confused look that seemed to say, ‘Of course, we can understand with telepathy. Or how else are we going to communicate?’ ‘I suppose you’re right,’ Vaan responded with a wry smile. Although the Unnamed Fairy possessed the appearance of an adorable young human girl, she also had fairy wings, brownish-golden eyes, rock horns, and a brown furry dress that seemed to be part of her body. After Vaan started communicating with…

After settling his thoughts, Vaan glanced out the window and saw the beautiful night sky with cascading moonlight to estimate the time. The night was not young, but there were still several hours before the first ray of sunrise arrived. ‘I’ve finished collecting all the information from Lady Solana’s research papers and books, but I still have this much spare time, huh? Seems like my ability improved again,’ Vaan mused. Although staying at the Golden Peacock Inn guaranteed protection, Vaan…
