Julius knew that his situation was bad as he paced in his office, unsure of what to do. The fact that someone had perfectly impersonated him, to the degree that the energy scanners registered them as him, indicated that they had likely studied him to the point where fleeing wasn’t an option. If he did try to run, they could simply step in and pretend as if he never left. If he ran somewhere public, then… He shook his head at that thought. They were able to place a camera outside his home without him…-

“Well? How is it, have you found him yet?” One of the Terra twins asked her sister, the latter of which was flipping through a black book with an exasperated sigh. “Not yet. And, asking won’t make it go any faster. It’s not like my abilities work quite the same as yours, so I have to figure a lot of this out for myself.” She said as her brow furrowed, flipping through her tome to try and find a specific entry. “Ah… sorry.” Her sister surprisingly took the comment to heart, her ears…

With the ambush from the rat-type creatures out of the way, the twenty-sixth floor entered a rapid period of development. Previously, they had relied on the sturdy crystal walls to serve as the barrier separating them from the monsters of the massive labyrinth. However, such a thing was no longer possible. They had already witnessed firsthand how those very walls crumbled under a collective attack, and were forced to change their strategy. For this purpose, a mining operation was carried out on the…

When the fighting in the town ceased, and the last of the monsters were finally slain, the adventurer’s guild leader let out a silent sigh of relief. He could feel the power he had been granted leaving his body, causing him to feel vaguely weakened, but at the same time something had been left behind. He could not immediately ascertain what this feeling was, and knew that the only person who could tell him was the young girl with pale skin that had appeared at the start of the fight. Glancing around, he…

Lifre stood in the library, staring at the aisles of shelves that seemed to occupy more space than the room should physically possess. Her brow furrowed as she took the intimidating presence of nearly limitless knowledge as a personal challenge, walking along the ends of the aisles. Her eyes scanned over the different subjects, ranging from the history of various countries to the complete guide to the runic language, and even an almanac of every reported monster throughout history. “Let’s go… rune…

After reminiscing about the past that led him here, the guide lifted his head to look at the camp. In the few short minutes he had been lost in his thoughts, the construction had already been completed. A temporary gate loomed in the center of the quickly-built buildings, energy swirling within it. Seeing this result, the leader of the expedition was satisfied, ordering the supply group to go and restock on essential materials. After the order was given, the knight turned back to look at the guide again.…

“Group Five, focus fire on the flank!” An armored knight shouted, holding up his shield as he stood between a giant crystal behemoth and the exploration convoy. The creature stood on two legs, its body towering almost a hundred meters high. The convoy had finally located a large region for them to establish a camp without needing to constantly carve away at the walls, so they had been excited for only a brief moment before Group Five was a group composed of archers and gunners, those who used…

Scarlet followed Elisae into the palace, the human queen insisting to her guards that she did not need any protection. Or, to put it another way, that if Scarlet truly sought to do her harm, there would be no number of knights protecting her that would be able to stop her. All the while, Scarlet was examining this new queen with both her normal and supernatural senses. It had to be said that Elisae bore little resemblance to the late queen Saruko, but such things were common in this day and age. When…

Within the Bloodhaven Empire, the sights were… quite unique. The typical colors of nature, the blue water, the green grass, even the white clouds were nowhere to be seen. These were all replaced with a bloody red. From nearly a thousand miles away, one would be able to see the crimson clouds hanging over the distant horizon, marking the land as the territory of the martial spirits. In the past, the empire had been on the decline due to the difficulty in producing heirs for their race. To do so, they…
