Kiara watched Little Cupcake creep to her side as the man fought the cursed beast. Liam had fallen a few paces away, his eyes drawn to their fight as well. Kiara was just too helpless and consumed by pain and blood loss to pay any attention, not to mention the man and the cursed beast were moving so fast that her eyes were unable to follow. Regardless, Kiara was content to have Cupcake back. She was fine letting the foreign man do their work. The little bunny licked her face as she glowed in a…

Warden found civilization. At last, after running for over half an hour, he found a village. Unfortunately, it was on fire. More than half a dozen houses were burning with smouldering flame, driving away the surrounding darkness of the night. Sadly, fire wasn't their most prominent problem, as it appeared the village was being seized by packs of dire wolves. The Little Bunny squeaked urgently, stopping before the broken fences of the village. Warden didn't answer its call as his eyes fixated on the…

"Behind you!" Liam spun, dropping the arrows to clutch for a hidden knife when he saw the menacing predator, lunging at him. He didn't even have time to react. A burst of molten flame crashed into the creature in mid-air, sending it flying. If the previous attacks were some fireballs, this was simply a beam of fire, fast and devastating. It even managed to hurtle him to fall back next to Xiv. Liam found the slender figure still standing in the same spot she was before, thick signs of distress and…

The more Warden trained, the easier and effortless fighting became. As if it was only natural for him to be a warrior. Obviously, growing the numbers in attributes became harder as well. Warden had slayed twice as many beasts of copper rank in the meantime, but his attribute received only a minimal increase. Throughout the day, he moved along the stream and covered more than ten miles, and still, there was no sign of men. By the time the sun hovered on…

Liam was particularly annoyed today. Ignoring the young lady he had to babysit in the mission, the backwater village at the very fringe of the empire was already bothersome enough. However, the most infuriating of them all, he had to search for the missing pet spirit beast of the young lady. "Liam," called Young lady Kiara, a tinge of worry in her tone, "did you find Little Cupcake?" "Liam?" Kiara asked again, a little irritated that he didn't answer promptly. "Apologies," he said, "I…

Darkness fell in the woods as the buzzing of insects grew. Obviously, none of the giant bugs that attacked him still lived. Warden let out a breath and opened the system page to check on the increase. The status page still confused him mostly, and no matter what he tried, he couldn't get any more information out of it. In the end, he could only put it away. His Strength got the most benefit from killing those beetles, and he did find some improvement…

A warm surge of energy flowed within him, fighting back the exhaustion, though his tiredness was far from normal. It only rose the more he clung to the power. It barely took a minute to slay the wolf, yet it almost made him cough up blood. His heart wrenched inside his chest, feeling like a suffocating death. His energy didn't run out, but he simply overdrew too much of it. How could he have forgotten the cost of overdrawing more power than he could handle? Well, considering how he forgot almost…

He awoke wet and disoriented, his face down in the mud with a hole in his head. Thankfully, the hole was more metaphorical than literal. Still, death wasn't supposed to feel this bad. The man had the figure of a warrior with jagged muscles and a lithe athletic build, yet his body felt tired beyond measure as he rolled himself over to sit up. Squinting his eyes, he assessed his situation. There was an abnormal sense of calmness in his movements, even though pain warred to consume his mind. He was…

'Hmm? There's something leaking from him...' The brain thought as he 'looked' at Lucifer. The brain focused on this something leaking from Lucifer better as he tried to close in on it with his senses. Well, the only senses that the brain would have is...nothing. He could only feel around with his magic and try to make out what kind of object or living creature he is dealing with by using his brain and thinking faster than ever. Of course, this is what the brain did as he focused on this...strange…-

'The brain...is not a veteran demon...' Lucifer thought as he realized this. Right, it is the truth that the brain is not a veteran demon or anything of the sort. After all, he is just a brain. Although there are monsters or demons who are missing some body parts, they are still capable of fighting. The brain...is not capable of fighting since...he just does not have a body or anything of the sort. Of course, there are several ways for one to be recognized as a veteran demon. It is not only by fighting…
