198 Arrest "Quite different from what I remember. He's someone else," mumbled Adam, stroking his chin and looking at Casanova, who was casually walking over the corpses, seemingly ignoring Alexander, frozen in fear. The man Adam remembered was entirely different. He was calm, and mature, and it felt like he held back and thought long before saying anything. Like an old man who had seen a lot on his path and knew the value of words. Meanwhile, the current Casanova gave the impression of an…-

197 Oh, you son of a bitch. Knew it would be you The skeleton remained silent, his burning eyes revealing a variety of emotions. It was impossible not to notice the sheer reluctance and disgust with which he looked at Adam as if a strand of hair had ended up in his mouth in the midst of enjoying a steak. Adam had several guesses as to why the skeleton harbored such hatred towards him. If this biology class model was indeed Alexander, then the fact that he had made a deal with a demon and ended up…

196 Skeleton Adam thought, "How cliché, but it's expected. I strongly doubt that under these conditions, our young lad could win the victory." In the room, there was only Lily and him, of course. She sat in front of the mirror, trying to conceal her lifeless expression, but she failed. Her gaze shifted downward, and the man noticed a vial in her hand, containing green liquid sealed with a cork. She grabbed the cork and pulled it out – "Pop," a sound echoed. "Ho-o?" Adam raised an eyebrow as he…

Adam wasn't particularly impressed by the story they were trying to convey to him. He could already predict where it was going – their passionate love would eventually lead to the girl getting married, and the man would suffer and curse his weakness. Such stories were his least favorite. Judging by what he saw, both of them had a passionate, devoted love that emanated from the depths of their hearts, no, from the depths of their very beings. Smiling at each other, they overcame obstacles together.…

"I have a small idea," Adam informed them and stepped forward, standing about five meters away from the stack of scrolls and books. He extended his hand and mentally muttered the function name: "." A faint glow appeared around all these items as if in an editing program, they had enabled the "outline" function with "glow" around objects like scrolls and bookshelves. After a brief glow, these items disappeared, and Adam received a short text notification. Ding! It wasn't surprising that so many items…

After a long and careful examination of the floor, no clues leading to the lower level were found. The only conclusion Adam drew from this was that the entrance to the third floor was in that same secret door he accidentally opened. However, these were merely his speculations. Sitting on the grass, Sierra lay back with a sigh, squinting her eyes. It was evident that she was fed up with wandering for so long, just like the rest of them. But at least the others could keep their irritation in check, while…

The cave-in at the entrance to the shaft did not go unnoticed by the explorers in the roles of Adam, Veronica, and Sierra. On the contrary, they had noticed it even before the temple began to collapse. The Demon Queen, who had set up the barrier, raised an eyebrow in surprise when she felt the ground shake and her magical energy, which had been monitoring the barrier, completely disappeared. This meant that the stone on which the spell had been cast had collapsed, thus breaking the enchantment. "Well,…

Adam and Veronica had successfully finished recording the important details, and the group began to descend the stairs. Surprisingly, they didn't encounter any traps on their way, even though there were as many at the entrance as there were stars in the sky. However, this didn't make them lower their guard, as the absence of traps could mean that things would only get worse. And they weren't far from the truth. "Is this a magical castle?" Sierra mumbled, standing in front of another colossal door. She…

Additional Chapter. 2/2 Enjoy your reading! === "So, is there a map here that I've heard about? I suspect all of this might be a trick, though I'd like to think positively," said Veronica, sitting on a rock, tilting her head to the side as she peered down into the temple's descent. She squinted and remarked, "What a curious structure. There are so many traps here that any careless move could instantly destroy the entire temple and its underground floors. How interesting!" "I don't even know how to…

Adam cleared his schedule of unimportant tasks and focused his attention on preparing for the upcoming Veridia presentation, scheduled in three days. During it, the company's new products would be showcased, with the opportunity for attendees to try them out, including the introduction of a limited line by Ricky.
