Introducing Seo Yuhui to the family was more nerve-racking than Seol Jihu imagined. The reason was—Yoo Seonhwa. Although Seol Jihu had ended his relationship with her long ago, the two of them had been together for over twenty years. Seol Jihu’s parents had seen the two of them together ever since they were babies. Everyone in the family believed they would eventually get married.

It was dead silent outside the imperial palace. Never mind a monster, not even a rat could be seen scurrying about. However, Rachel Chastain was pacing back and forth in constant distress. “What do I do? What do I do?” Rachel Chastain looked down at the communication crystal in her hand. The light had flickered off. It was connected even when the rescue team entered the room Yi Seol-Ah was in, but all of a sudden... “Auuuuuu!” Rachel Chastain clutched her hair. She remembered what Ian…

No one answered Dylan’s question because they all felt there was more to the story than what they were seeing. “Isn’t that... Seol-Ah?” Hugo eventually got himself together and asked. As he said, the person seen on the communication crystal was Yi Seol-Ah. Or, at least she looked like Yi Seol-Ah. They couldn’t see her face because she was standing in the corner of the room with her back turned against them. But her medium-length hair and slender figure easily reminded them of Yi…

When an organization went out on an expedition, it was common sense for the expedition leader to report the expedition’s status to the organization periodically. At the very least, they had to do so at a time of danger or when they were on their way back after the expedition was over. That way, the organization would be able to send reinforcements if necessary and would not have to think, ‘Why is there no news? Did something happen to them?’ If the worried organization sent reinforcements…

Valhalla, the palace that appears in Norse mythology. Valkyries guided the souls of warriors who died honorably in battles here. It was also known as a utopia ruled by Odin, where gods and legendary heroes gathered. The image of Valhalla in Paradise was not much different from its origin. Looking back, the way Valhalla made its debut was atypical. They attacked the auction house owned by Royal Pattaya, a longstanding organization of the city, and proceeded to destroy them completely. As if that wasn’t…

It was no secret that humans were forgetful beings. It would be a tragedy if one could distinctly recall everything they had seen or experienced. In such cases, one is sure to drown in their past. Sometimes, people have to forget in order to move forward. Therefore, oblivion was a blessing, and it was also essential to humans. Paradise was no exception. Years had passed since the war ended, and everyone was living in harmony, abiding by the rules laid out in the Half Century Treaty. Of…

Seol Jihu observed Sung Shihyun closely to see just what prank he would pull. The perfect prank had to take the target and the situation into account and also make it impossible for the target to respond. With how confident Sung Shihyun was, Seol Jihu was dying to know how he would play around with Exploding Patience. But what Sung Shihyun did next shocked Seol Jihu. He suppressed his energy and concealed his presence. Then, after creeping up to Exploding Patience, he squatted down behind her. He…

Twisted Kindness headed to the imperial palace as the Parasite Queen had summoned her. When she arrived in the grand hall, she saw the Parasite Queen sitting comfortably on the throne. Seol Jihu, who had built a nest on her lap, was nowhere to be seen. ...No, she did feel his energy. “Yes, responding to Your Majesty’s summons. Anyway...” Twisted Kindness raised her head slightly before tilting it to the side. “I can feel Temperance’s energy from Your Majesty’s back. Did…

Seol Jihu was a hero who fought for the Federation and humanity’s freedom against the Parasites. There was no reason for him to defect now that Jörmungandr’s activities had stopped. The logical conclusion was that he had something else on his mind. ‘We’ll pretend to welcome him, but in reality, keep an eye on him until he cracks.’ When the time comes, they would strike him and kill him for good, the Army Commanders decided. This was for the sake of their queen, who greedily took Seol Jihu…

Parasite’s camp. The heart of the Empire was filled with an inexplicable air of tension. In the grand hall, six Army Commanders were gathered together, waiting. Even the Parasite Queen, sitting on the Corrupted Throne, was excitedly looking back and forth between the ceiling and the wall behind her. Guoooooooo! Powerful, boundless energy was swirling and pulsating beyond the wall. The Parasite Queen’s pupils surged with hope as she gazed in that direction. She still could not forget what…
