“I see…” The pale light of a crystal ball faded as the magical connection had been cut. The man before it continued to nervously tap his desk while thinking. Ever since the dungeon appeared in this city he wasn’t sure if he could consider it a blessing. From what had become known to him now, it seemed that it could be turning into a curse. “My Lord.” “You can come in.” The door opened up and soon a person dressed in a maid uniform entered. She was quick to push the curtains…-

‘Haven’t been here in a while… there weren’t this many people before, the race has probably already begun here.’ Roland walked into the large underground chamber filled with hooded figures. The place looked like some occult gathering with how many hoods and robes everyone was wearing. There was almost no one here that wasn’t covering their face with something. This was one place where his hidden apparel didn’t raise eyebrows as it did in the city. “Hey, what you looking at?”…

“Are you sure about this Boss?” “Yeah, just pull the trigger?” “Maybe I should move a bit further away, what if you can’t dodge?” “I’m not going to dodge it.” “Not dodging? What are you testing then? Is there a hidden runic item in your sleeve or something?” “Not really, stop asking questions and just pull the trigger already.” “If you say so…” A confused Bernir was standing ten meters away from Roland with a runic weapon in hand. The weapon in…

“Report!” “Yes, Knight Commander! Most of the Orcs are dead but some of them have managed to escape. We believe that some of them might seek shelter close to the nearby villages, should we pursue them?” “Pursue? How long will that take? We have already lost precious time…” A fully armored knight looked at the commander before him. At this moment he was pulling out his large sword from the monster it slew. Blood ran through the blade and dribbled to the ground to only increase the…

“Hey… what’s wrong with you today?” “What do you mean? I’m the same as I’ve always been… I think, or was I different before? My memories are a bit cloudy…” “Did you mean to say that out loud? Also… why is Agni acting like this?” A confused Elodia was looking at a large ruby wolf peeking through the entrance door. For some reason, Agni was unwilling to enter the house when usually it was hard to keep him away from his owner. She was also in a strange situation as Roland…

“Hngh…” ‘What year is it? Am I really back or is this some kind of illusion?’ A disoriented Roland grasped his head which was on fire. He could barely keep one of his eyes open as the experiences that he absorbed in the trial came rushing in. This phenomenon wasn’t new to him but this time around it felt exacerbated. The trial space was a big mystery but in theory, a person’s soul was leaving their body. Then after it was finished all of the information that was gained in that space…

A large armored man was struggling against a large number of cables. They were all wrapped around his limbs along with the large mace he was holding in his hand. Even though there were many of them he was still able to struggle. Little by little he could unearth the things these cables were attached to. Their bodies were made from metal and their form was similar to a spider’s. Even though he was slowly able to yank these spider drones out, he could not do it instantaneously. This was what the master…

‘The scale is different when you see it up close, I can’t imagine how this would look if the whole army from the kingdom went to battle…’ Roland was impressed by the sight of the wooden soldiers standing in formation. His side amounted to around twenty thousand while the opposition thirty. The enemy nation of the Woodlanders was slowly leaving a large forest area and gathering on a large plane where the final fight would be taking place. Most of the soldiers were wearing full plate armor…

“My Lord.” “Is it time?” “Yes, they are waiting.” “Good… let’s get this over with.” Roland looked at the large room with various decorations in which he wasn't alone in. Time continued to pass and everything moved towards the last confrontation with the Woodlanders. Everything would be over after the final battle was over, that is if this trial didn’t throw any more wrenches to stop his plans. Even though this place wasn’t as big as the real world, for one person it…

“Please show mercy, I surrender!” ‘Well, this was unexpected, it’s deviating from the last scenario…’ Roland looked at the Lord Commander of this castle that was standing kneeling down. It would be as easy as taking candy from a child to deliver the killing blow to this enemy but he was asking to spare his life. The duel between the faction leaders had started just like last time but the opponent capitulated without them even going through one exchange of blows. ‘Could this be due to…
