He dearly wished that this wouldn’t be the case and was even slightly hopeful, but the reality was callously cold. Scheherazade, seen at a close distance, was a scene of chaos. Thick clouds of black smoke rose from the city engulfed in fire, and dozens of screams were erupting from multiple locations. Seol Jihu had finally arrived at Scheherazade, but after flying up with Flone’s help and looking down at the city, he couldn’t help but become speechless. Pandemonium! There was no other…-

Yun Seohui did not pick up the call. No, she couldn’t. It was because she was on Earth, and not in Paradise when Seol Jihu called her. When she heard the news and returned to Paradise, the communication crystal was still flashing with light. Yun Seohui looked at the pure light with a slight surprise before looking down at the shining orb. It had taken her twenty minutes to enter Paradise after receiving a phone call saying that Representative Seol was looking for her. In other words, one hour…

Nur was a port city located in the northwest corner of the human territory, facing the Parasites with the Mariposa Sea between them. The presence of the body of water hardly meant the city was safe from invasion. Some Parasites were capable of flying, and there had already been one case in which the Parasites crossed the sea to attack Nur. Having said that, it was undeniable that in recent years the Parasites had concentrated its forces on Tigol Fortress, and that it was only in Haramark’s Arden…

The Parasite Queen Expulsion Plan. Seo Yuhui thought it was feasible when she first heard about the plan from Sung Shihyun. The Parasite Queen had taken along five of the seven Armies to attack Tigol Fortress. Furthermore, the remaining two armies were nowhere to be found in the Middle World. While it was highly optimistic, she thought that sneaking into the empty Empire to find the Imperial Oath was doable. However, the idea shattered into pieces as soon as they entered the Parasites’…

The Pavlovici brothers came to visit. Their goal: to repay the debt of Valhalla sparing and even saving their lives. Judging by the way they were talking, they seemed to have a rather important piece of information. Seol Jihu strongly wanted to ask them about everything they knew, but he held himself back seeing the state that Pavlovici and his brother were in. They were practically shoving food down their throats while their faces were covered in filth. If Seol Jihu didn’t know any better,…

“The reason you are so confused is that many events are intertwined like spiderwebs.” It was true. A lot had happened in a short period of time. “The complexity of the situation suggests that many people are after you…. Anyway, the situation surrounding you can be classified into two categories.” Eun Yuri continued with her fingers still up. “The first category is Sinyoung. The assault incident has already been settled, and the incident on Earth has been concluded with the discovery…

Trrrr… Following the sound of pouring water, a fragrant scent of coffee wafted out. Vlad Halep poured water into a large cup before half-heartedly swirling it with a spoon and holding up a long stick of butter. He cut the stick with his scythe, dropping it into the cup, and then handing it over Seol Jihu. Seol Jihu carefully held the hot cup in his hands. “Drink. It’ll warm your body up a bit.” Vlad Halep said stiffly before plopping down on a seat across from Seol Jihu and gulping…

It was a call from his mother. Seol Jihu pressed the answer button even in his confused state. “Mother?” —Aigoo, Jihu! A voice mixed with tears immediately struck his ear. Seol Jihu’s heart sank. —You rascal, why weren’t you picking up your phone!? “M-Mother. I’m sorry. I was just a little too busy.” —Still! Do you have any idea how much Wooseok and I…! “Mother, calm down. Just what happened?” An unknown nervousness slowly crept up inside him, but Seol Jihu…

Gula’s voice paused for a moment. The voice continued with a sigh. Her words were like a death sentence to him. Seol Jihu shut his eyes. He had hoped his premonition would prove false. But Gula’s declaration just now only proved him right. What drove him even more crazy was that he had no idea what went wrong. ‘So… What more do I need to do?’ ‘How close am I to the problem?’ There was no response from Gula. But Seol Jihu didn’t mind,…

The Parasite Queen revealed an unprecedented interest. “No, not exactly.” Sung Shihyun shook his head. “From what I found out after I turned to the Parasites—well, I’m sure Your Majesty knows where one of them is hidden. Including the one that I hid, we know the location of two of the steles.” Sung Shihyun raised his index finger and middle finger before continuing with a but. “Unfortunately, we don’t know where the last stele is. I know it’s not in the territory of the…
