“Oh my, oh my. I wasn’t expecting a call from you so soon, Hinotori.” My gut churned at the all-too-sweet-sounding voice that betrayed its owner’s personality. Her eyes looked down at me with such sadistic joy, like I was a toy to be played around with. “Some might say too soon," I muttered, prompting a jab to the side from Reiman. I clicked my tongue and looked away. Reiman stepped up to set the stage for this silly farce. “Your Highness Princess Elriek Sox Den Anon Yorul III, we…-

“Hinotori-sama!” As I strolled through the mansion’s halls, a loud cry rang out. From the end of the hallways, a girl was running towards me, screaming my name. Behind her, a guy on the bigger side was following behind, trying to grab her. They both came to a stop right before me. “Hinotori-sama! Can we talk?" Taira requested energetically. Behind her, Minamoto grabbed her mouth and forced her head into a bow. “I-I apologise for her rude behaviour-ow!” She bit him as he…

‘Haa, so that’s what he was up to?’ 'Well, that’s annoying, but at least now we know to never appear before him.’ ‘Hmm, but how do we deal with him then?’ ‘J-Just th-through messages.’ Kanata-san was quite the troublesome ally I’d gotten myself. If push came to shove, I had no doubt I could deal with it, but something felt odd. For some reason, I actually hesitated when it came to him. If it were anyone else, I feel like I’d have killed them and used the next best option…

“That… actually looks troublesome.” I took in the sight of the beast resting peacefully at the very core of the mountain. Unlike what I’d seen from most dragons, it had white, crystalline feathers that made it nearly impossible to spot in the snow. It had to be the second-biggest dragon I’d seen so far, the first being Charybdis. “The Great Emperor of the ! What a magnificent sight to behold!” Of course, Julian was being Julian and idolising the grandeur of it all. “Still, are…

After collecting the three weapons from the dungeon, we decided to return to the West. Of course, I’d come back to check up on Project CATH and all the other goodies in the dungeon, but I wanted to do something before I forgot. As soon as the dungeon was conquered, Julian was able to regenerate, so he was perfectly fine. Back outside, I couldn’t find the ice oni reincarnator. Turns out he’d woken up while I was fighting the automaton and was already on his way back to his village. We easily caught…

Automatons were machines created in the likeness of sentient beings. They were mortals’ best attempt at recreating life from scratch. Depending on what they were made for, automatons were stronger, faster, and smarter than humans. However, there was one factor automatons lacked. And this was emotion. The forceful injection of souls, the insertion of hearts, or the numerous attempts at getting them to bond with others all resulted in failure. No matter what was done, automatons simply lacked emotions.…

The moment we entered; a giant hologram of Kaleb Zen appeared before us “Welcome, to the final dungeon in my series! You are honestly pretty impressive. As expected, you completed the without a hitch and now you’re here to do the same to this one.” Yellow Springs? I hadn’t done that one yet. Maybe he assumed it’d be done in a particular order? “Well, finish this dungeon for a cool surprise.” With that, the hologram faded, leaving both Julian and I alone in the snow forest. I…

??? POV After walking through the ice for quite a bit, we stumbled across an interesting sight. A creature covered in snow-white fur, with horns made of ice stood in our path. Icy breath escaped the creature’s fang-filled maw as it scoffed at us. It’s blood-red eyes glowed dimly in contrast to his ugly blue face and snow-white mane. Oddly enough, this grotesque image wasn’t enough to stir any emotions in my heart. I wasn’t sure why I was certain I was supposed to feel something. The little…

“We humbly request that you return with us to take your rightful place as the ruler of our organisation.”, The Cardinal 4 declared boldly, no hint of sarcasm present whatsoever. “Huh?”, I was left dumbfounded by the sudden proposition by the leader of the men dressed in black. “Excuse my impertinence.”, He straightened his back, folded his arms behind his back, and avoided direct eye contact with me like a nervous subordinate. “I am Cardinal 4 of the Vermillion Restoration Army.”…

SHIRO POV ‘A comfortable bed, a nice aroma, and a gentle breeze. Strange… I could’ve sworn I was in a forest when I last awoke.’, My first thoughts after regaining some form of consciousness led me to have some suspicions about my whereabouts. I got out of the bed, then summoned Karma. We had to leave the little familiar back in Dhijan since that was the easiest solution to inn problems while travelling. With her contract, she could easily summon Karma from Dhijan and send it back if need be.…
