I looked at the Old Hag dead in the eyes. "They required players?" The Old Hag grinned. "A good bargain, if you ask me. You get to keep the players' tokens, and I get to keep them as ingredients and food for my beautiful sons." She tilted her head to the side and flashed me a sweet smile. "And since this is our first time doing business together, I'll give all of them to you . . . for free." She then raised her chin a little while her tongue licked her bottom lips. "And so much more . . . ," she…-

"Come in~." I admit that I didn't expect The Old Hag's voice to be this enticing and alluring. Far from the voice of an old lady. I was expecting a gory croaky voice or a voice of an old cat forced inside a blender. Not something of a tone that reminded me of a seductive teacher seducing her innocent students. But then again, she might have just taken the voice of another. I opened the door and let myself in. I expected to be greeted with giant axes from the Trolls and hexes from a scary-looking…

". . . I see . . ." Lisa looked at me weirdly, gauging my reaction. "Did I answer all your questions? Can you let go of me now?" "Hmm . . . I don't know . . ." Lisa's face contorted in annoyance. "What? You promised to release me after I answer all of them!" "I felt like what you told me is lacking. I wasn't satisfied. There's this hole inside me that wasn't filled. To begin with, I don't have much to ask since I'm still new to this world." My face brightened, and I beamed at her. "I know. Why…

"That kinda tickles." I chuckled. I honestly didn't think her attack was so weak that it didn't even scratch my boots. However, before I could take hold of her, she disappeared from sight and reappeared behind me again—this time, aiming for my arms. She probably didn't want to kill me based on where she aimed her knives. And as much as I enjoyed seeing the effort, I was in a hurry. I grabbed her hand, broke her wrist, and pinned her to the ground. "Aargh!" Her screams pierced my ears, and I put…

"Best I don't waste any more time here. You had your meat. I want my payment. Now." "Tone, my dear." The Old Hag's red lips stretched into a creepy smile. "Know that I can replace you whenever I want." Lisa caught her breath, and a chill ran down her spine. She briefly shifted her eyes at the three trolls who were eying her with flexing brows. Lisa took a deep breath and shook her head. "I have to get another batch of meat for you. You sure you want me to dally here and waste my time?" The Old Hag…

There were two compartments in the Old Hag's house. One was the entertainment area, which was neat and tidy, with planks floors, brick walls, and a soft rocking chair over a cozy rug near the fireplace. There was a small kitchen beside it, separated by a bookshelf, and the two rooms upstairs were all well decorated too. However, the second compartment, the basement, is where all the magic happened. Eyeballs, body parts, and different herbs and organs were hanging on the ceiling — shelves with…

Running nonstop for hours, I forgot how many grasslands I ran passed just to see another village again. I slowed down my pace and took in a large breath. I looked over the bright sky before checking my shadow. Judging from it, I would say it was around noon, and I still had four hours or so left before my other self took control. Gazing over the landscape, I didn't know if I was in a village or just a tiny area where few houses were scattered across a dying land. There were people or probably NPCs…

Hmm . . . I typed in . . . HAVEN My very own respite in this turmoil world. Sounds about right. *Umu I didn't know how long I would be stuck in this world, so it was better to build my home than to bend my knees on some higher power and be their dog in exchange for shelter and food.
