Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Eleanor mindlessly swung her greatsword, hacking away at the steel barrier with all her strength. The muscular man maintaining the barrier coughed blood continuously, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure. Suddenly, three other zombies approached the barrier, pouring all their mana reserves into maintaining it. Umbral stood silently, gazing at the steel barrier that seemed to be shaking violently. His eyes were narrowed to slits, while his fists were clenched. With a…-

"Are you planning on fighting alone, princess?" Umbral inquired, cocking his head like he always did. The faint smile that danced across his lips contained a sense of confidence as if he was already aware of the outcome. His eyes–despite his body's immaturity–contained profound wisdom, as if he were a sage with a lifespan of an eternity. His gaze seemed to pierce through even the most subtle changes as if it were all-seeing. "What if I am?" Eleanor shot back, her eyes swirling with an aura of…

Eleanor rushed forward, wrapping her greatsword in flames. With an expression that was akin to the crackling of voracious fire, she swung her sword towards the zombie's neck, trying to disarm it before bashing its head. However, the zombie sidestepped, avoiding the blow before extending its palm. Eleanor felt her body crumple like paper. As soon as the palm collided with the side of her abdomen, she flew several meters before crashing into a nearby tree, shaking it violently to the point where all…

"Did you not know?" Arthur inquired, cocking his head. Judging by the fact that Eleanor seemed to have run into such beings before, the crimson-eyed man expected her to have adapted, and have discovered a way to destroy them once and for all. But it seemed like she was even more clueless than him. "I just rendered them unable to move and left," said Eleanor, shrugging her shoulders. "What's your name?" "...Gilgamesh," said the crimson-eyed man, immediately realizing his blunder. He cursed…

Her consciousness returned to her actual body. However, the way she viewed Umbral changed drastically. Instead of attempting to sympathize with him, she now loathed/feared the young boy, finding him to be evil. The terrifying smile that she witnessed on the young boy's face seemed to have erased all positive emotions from her mind, forcing her to accept reality and face the facts. This was her true self. 'Was something controlling me?' Eleanor wondered, furrowing her eyebrows while stroking her chin.…

A Child Of Shadows. Shivers shot down Eleanor's nonexistent spine, and her ethereal body morphed into mere particles of dust before dissipating into the abyss. The abyss opened its eyes, displaying what seemed like a smile. A smile to the world. To remind it of its existence. * As Eleanor jolted awake from her slumber, the sunlight caused her eyes to sting. Rubbing her eyes with much intensity, she pressed her racing heart, attempting to piece together what had occurred before her very eyes.…

'Hudson shouldn't be a Fallen Guardian,' thought Arthur, slowly traversing across the world while in deep thought. 'He was devoted to the Tower Administration, so his betrayal is virtually impossible. But how else did they manage to fix a game? Did they bribe one of the Guardians to skew the randomization of people in a certain batch?' 'It might truly make sense, considering I ended up with the daughter of King Bahamut on the Second Floor, among over a million players that participate.' Arthur had…

A few hours passed in an instant. Arthur had amassed a total of 6 points after violently murdering five players in cold blood. With six flags and a crown on his body, he was a walking target that many would attempt to ambush. Unfortunately for them, Arthur was as prepared as one could be for potential ambushes. With running at all times, although Arthur consumed a chunk of his mana reserve, it still helped sense approaching or observing threats in the distance. It was a countermeasure to prevent…

As Eleanor traversed across the lush forest, she barely managed to suppress her overflowing rage towards the cloaked figure, who had dared to publicly humiliate her to such a wild extent. Had she been in her Kingdom, the person would've been killed on the spot, without any hesitation. Alas, this was not Celestial Peaks, but the tower. Her influence amounted solely to her connection with her father. Nothing more, nothing less. Unlike on the Celestial Peaks, where Bahamut was essentially the strongest…

Ten minutes passed, and a blue, translucent window appeared before the eyes of each and every player. With that announcement, both Team A and B rushed towards each other, focusing on emerging victorious from their eventual clash. Both teams were quite even, so the battle would be quite narrowly won. "All of you, focus on gathering flags," barked Arthur, sending his teammates towards the forest hurriedly. "I can survive on my own. I do not need someone protecting me, as that would only draw more…
