Reaching the end of the lengthy tunnel, Evan and Lirian approached a sharp bend in their path. As they turned the corner, their eyes were met with a blazing inferno of radiant light that flooded their vision as if the sun itself had descended upon them. The source of this scorching conflagration was none other than the malevolent kobold mage lurking within the dank tunnels. It had been lying in wait like a devious predator with a lethal surprise in store for its unsuspecting prey. Without warning,…-

"Here, catch." In a moment of quick thinking and cunning, Lirian, with a taunting and teasing smile, tossed the still-beating heart towards one of the kobold archers who had drawn an arrow, poised to strike him down. Lirian wasn't above playing dirty when the situation called for it, and he knew that survival often depended on taking advantage of every opportunity. So he did it without any remorse. The unexpected action caught the kobold archer off guard, causing it to instinctively swat the organ…

The kobolds were a proud and ancient race; their society was built upon a foundation of honor and tradition. They lived in sprawling underground lairs carved out of the very rock by their skilled craftsmen. They looked like small humanoid creatures, standing no more than two and a half feet tall. Their skin was a dark, reddish-brown color, almost like dried blood. Their bodies were thin and wiry, with bony limbs that ended in sharp claws. Their eyes glowed with a fierce, yellow light, like that of a…

With the Energy Conversation skill at his disposal, Evan noticed that he could convert the mana in his surroundings into 100 units of soul energy without a cost in an instant. One hundred units of energy were enough to fill his soul pocket to the brim! However, the skill had one drawback: once used, it would be temporarily unavailable for three minutes, leaving him unable to regenerate soul energy in worlds without it. Despite this downside, the benefits of the Energy Conversation Skill far outweighed…

Evan approached Lirian; his eyes fixed on the impressive display of skill before him. Observing how cheerful Lirian was while performing the grim task of dismembering a beast, he found himself pondering on the hardship and adversity that Lirian must have endured to master such a difficult and laborious craft. He didn't know what he had suffered, but he felt the need to encourage him, and make his day better. "Wow, Lirian, I'm really impressed," Evan exclaimed, admiration clear in his voice as he…

With a sudden jerk, Evan pulled his sword free from the Thunder Snake's brain and out of its mouth, causing the creature to fall to the ground with a thud. Its eyes stared blankly ahead, its lifeless body now devoid of the deadly threat it once posed. He stood triumphantly over the its carcass, his heart still pounding from the adrenaline rush of the battle. As he caught his breath, Evan felt a sudden warmth spreading through his body. It was as though a surge of power was flowing through him,…

Evan's heart pounded in his chest as he caught sight of a snake-like monster piercing through the air and hurtling towards him, its triangular head glinting in the dappled light. It showcased that the sharpness of its head rivaled common blades. He knew that one wrong move could mean certain death, but he remained resolute and focused, his piercing gaze locked onto the monster. Just as he was about to be pierced by the triangular head of the snake, Evan stepped to the side and tilted his body with a…

The Ironclad stronghold stood tall and imposing, its walls towering high above the ground, like a sentinel keeping watch over the realm. It was a fortress of great strength, designed to withstand even the most vicious attacks from the enemy. Yet, for all its might and power, the stronghold had only two entrances that served both as entry and exit points, and they were heavily guarded by the empire's soldiers. The reason for this was not hard to guess. The cosmic crusaders, who had recently arrived on…

ραпdα nᴏνa| сom The vast warehouse was Evan's secret hideout. It was built to survive an apocalyptic event and contained a portion of his wealth. It was filled with rows upon rows of towering shelves, stocked with various gadgets and contraptions, and in the center of it was the transfer array. Amidst the chaos of mechanical trinkets and futuristic gizmos, there stood a small and unassuming cupboard. It was plain in appearance, yet it held within it a collection of tools that could change…
