Sarah smiled as she watched her lord glance at her with his charming smile. She could never get enough of his calm gaze and his unfettered smile. Every time she looked at his face, she would simply feel a wave of unadulterated happiness. Even as the rain beat her body, she felt the Hero's gaze shift in her direction on countless occasions. 'Is he worried I'll catch a cold? Oh, Hero...' Her thoughts were aloft. Even though she had only been caring for him for about a month now, Sarah felt like she had…

The dark clouds rumbled, and then I realized it was just about to rain. "A-ah... is it that time of the year already?" As more thick clouds gathered, I remained frozen where I stood, watching the foamy clusters of grey and ash. It wasn't like I thought they were beautiful or anything. I was just... 'MY EARTH DRAGON... GIVE ME BACK NY EARTH DRAGON!!!' ... Lost in intense thought. As I was weeping internally—wondering how to raise the question when next I went to Dulum—the shaft on the roof opened,…

"During our next trip to Dulum, we should take some of our products to sell..." The problem with that, however, was that Dulum wasn't exactly a place that appreciated the kind of foods I was bringing to the market. Sure, they were novel and exotic, but no Adventurer would want to pay extra for a luxury meal. Only the top ones would be able to constantly afford it, and that wasn't what I wanted. 'Fruits are healthy in the long run, so they should be more expensive here. But, Adventurers live short and…

"Haaa... isn't life wonderful?" As I sat atop my newly constructed tower, I watched the world from a glorified standing point. The blue sky, the lukewarm sun, and the white clouds that drifted slowly. Everything was so peaceful up here. So beautiful. The lands spread about for miles—even the mountains that peaked at the clouds. I could see them all from my distance. "Project Overwatch is a success." I smiled, tapping the extremely sturdy tower floor. I was currently over a hundred feet from the…

What is a Hero? When I was a kid, I used to watch lots of movies and animated series. I would see folks like Superdude and Batlad save the day on countless occasions. Then there were teams that comprised several heroes. Superhero groups like Justice Team, or the Revengers. Heroes came in many shapes and sizes—some being regular dudes with no special powers or anything. However, after many years of watching them—and even dreaming of becoming one at a particular point—I noticed something. They all…

"I hereby declare that I will be the master of this Demon, for the sum total of five years. She will do everything I instruct her to, except to die. She has no right to disobey me, except my instructions will directly kill her. She will not harm me, or any of my allies. She will guard any of my property with absolute diligence. She won't slack off in any of her duties too." Once I was done with my side of the deal, I looked at her with expectant eyes. This was the decisive moment. Would she…

'These guys don't realize it now, but this is really for their own good...' I sighed and shook my head. Humans in this world never passed the threshold of Level 30. There was a special way to bypass the rule, but I wasn't ready to divulge it yet. That meant, for the time being, we needed strong allies that could help in our fight against the Demons. Beings with higher thresholds—like Elves, Beastfolk, Dragons... even Demons. 'I can't do everything myself... that has become painfully…

"It would simply be a waste to kill you. Rather than having you die worthlessly, I would simply make you pay for defying me... with your body." "A-ah... n-no way..." The Mid-Demon's eyes showed shock, and tears began streaming from them. Lucy, Sarah, and Byron also seemed frozen with shock. At that moment, I realized my true intentions probably got lost in their interpretation. "I mean, you will work under me! That's what I meant!" My protest was louder than I wanted, but I quickly let out my…

"M-me... surrender." I heard the Mid-Demon say as a collapsing sound echoed. 'Eh?' I was conflicted, but there was no way in hell I would show that. 'What's going on?' My eyes slowly opened and I saw the unbelievable. The Mid-Demon was currently kneeling, while raising her hands in total surrender. Her battered body was trembling as she did this, and while disdain filled her eyes, so did fear. 'Holy... holy shit!' I couldn't believe it, but it was happening right in front of me. That scene where the…

His body was shrouded in blue scales--like armor--and two horns protruded from his head. As the flames cleared upon the human's emergence, his form became more pronounced. He still had his human shape, and his face was well-represented, but a majority of his body was now covered in something else. Something powerful! If the Middle-Class Demon didn't know any better, she would have mistaken him for a member of her Kin. But, the receding shapes of his horns did not resemble a Demon's--no, they were more…
