Evan of the past wasn't interested in history and didn't care much about learning about the events that took place in the past. However, even he knew about the event that happened 13 years ago, which had initiated the manhunt for the Cosmic Crusaders that has been ongoing to this day. Evan just didn't know that Vera was a part of the group that had caused the ShadowFall Calamity; However, he knew who Vera was because of the visions he had last night that let him reexperience his past life and because…-

The system's notifications sounded in Evan's mind, bringing with them a news he found pleasant. In the past, if someone had told him that he would find pleasure in a person's death, he would have ridiculed them as being mentally ill, but now he was more than just relieved to see Vera dead. 'With this, the quest should also be completed!' Evan thought, his eyes curving into a smile. The Space-Time Transmitter appeared in his inventory, and as if there was a strange connection between him…

Evan took advantage of the situation and used the power of his magic weapon to rain shards of ice down on Vera, but before they could connect, Vera rolled away. Five out of the seven shards of ice landed on the spot where he once was, stabbing into the crusty and hard ground, while the other stabbed his arm and leg, causing him to scream out in pain. "UGH!" The wounded area was quickly enclosed in ice. Vera suddenly lost control of one of his arms and legs and dropped to his knees. Immediately, a…

"Can't you tell just by looking at me?" Vera spat, his voice rising in excitement. "I am a cosmic crusader, feared and revered throughout the galaxy. And you, you are nothing but a pair of dirtbags from the Sun Moon Empire. When we meet, there's only one outcome. Only one side gets to live." Evan, who had been standing behind Lirian, stepped forward, his expression stony. "You may be a Cosmic Crusader, but that doesn't give you the right to take innocent lives," he said, his voice firm. Vera chuckled…

"You can forget about that! You won't be returning anywhere. This place will be your burial ground." said a man from a good distance behind them. Evan's and Lirian's heads snapped towards the source of the menacing voice, immediately on high alert. They had been so engrossed in unlocking the treasure vault and seeing what they'd gotten that they hadn't even heard anyone approaching, but now as they turned, their eyes landed on a striking figure. The man before them was young, but his sharp features…

Evan effortlessly stowed his sword in his inventory with a mere thought before hobbling towards the toppled golem while clutching his side. Lirian tossed a flask at him, saying, "Here, catch." Evan caught it and inspected it with a raised eyebrow. It was a flask with a round bottom, filled to the brim with a green-colored liquid. "What is it?" he inquired. "It's an intermediate-level healing panacea made from troll's blood. It may have a nasty stench, but it has potent healing properties. Just…

Even with blood trickling out of his wounds, Evan brandished his magic sword in the direction of the golem. He uttered a voiceless incantation to unleash the power of his sword. The Frost Demon's Fury glowed, and instantly, sharp shards of ice materialized around Evan. "Show it hell!" Evan said, and the ice shard rained down on the golem, pelting him fiercely. The golem lost its balance and stumbled back, trying to regain its balance. And as soon as it did, it outstretched its hand and fired a golden…

Evan and Lirian ascended the stairs while making as little noise as possible. As they stepped into the arena, they saw the golem that had been dormant until that moment stirring to life. Its immense stone body let out an audible creak as it shifted. The gears of its body ground and groaned with each mechanical motion it took to turn and face them. "Krkrrrr!" The golem unleashed a guttural roar that echoed throughout the arena. Its roar pinched them like a needle of pain, causing them to wince and rub…

Upon transgressing the beguiling façade, Evan and Lirian ventured down a secret passageway that led them to a vast and cavernous space. As they stepped into it, it took a hard moment for their eyes to adjust to the dim lighting that enveloped their surroundings. Their vision cleared up thereafter, and they scrutinized the area, taking in their surroundings. It had a staircase leading to an arena and a towering ceiling that seemed to disappear into the darkness above. Stalactites, twisting and…

Evan felt a bit confused. After all, the kobold mage he just shot down was only a level 4 rank-1 monster. So how could it cast the Greater Fireball spell that it used to sneak-attack them?! It was a spell that couldn't be learned by pyromancers below the 9th level! 'Could it be because of the staff? Maybe it is a magic weapon that allow you to use level 2 fire magic.' Evan thought. ραпdα nᴏνa| сom He inspected the staff that was on the floor. "It's a good item! It would be a waste to…
