Chapter 106: Thousand Illusion Flower Seeds

Material sourcing still happened on Earth. Speaking of which, his assets in the other world had grown considerably.

A total of 75 gold coins, 10 silver coins, plus some loose change.

There was also a Demonsbane Gold Coin—also known as that purple gold coin.

Hua Mi compared it to the Demonsbane Gold Insignia representing his identity as a "Swordbearer" and concluded that this purple-glowing coin should also be m...

Chapter 105: Xiao Zi's Genius Plan

"What's the idea?"

"Creating a method for making new-flavored honey!"

Xiao Zi excitedly exclaimed, "Right now, we only plant one type of flower in a field, resulting in honey with a single flavor. But what if we plant two or more types of flowers in one field? The bees would collect nectar from different flowers, and the honey produced would definitely have a different taste!"

Xiao Zi looked forward with anticipation, "I ...

Chapter 104: The Withering Disease

Across the boundless wilderness lay a blanket of pristine white snow, rolling endlessly.

A griffon extended its wings, gliding high in the sky.

Its keen gaze scanned the earth, desperately seeking prey to fill its belly.

At this time of year, satisfying hunger was always challenging.

Yet within its underdeveloped mind, it still remembered that not too far ahead lay a modest-sized forest—a potential haven for food....

Chapter 103: Crafting Honey Pills

Hua Mi opened the blood-sucking bee box and found something unexpected falling out of it.

"Whoa, what's this?"

Fixing his gaze, Hua Mi noticed an irregular crystal, merely two or three inches long. The crystal, overall, had a faint bluish hue with faint streaks of red inside, resembling strands of blood.

He probed it with his spiritual power but gleaned no useful information. At least it didn't harbor the unstable magical ...

Chapter 102: Special Supply for the Hybrid

"Field inspection in the Black Forest is done. Today, I'm heading back to Modu to bid you farewell," Clark dressed just as meticulously as when they first met, his hair impeccably styled.

One could tell he tried to mimic his previous self, including his manner of speech and habits. However, things were different now. After transforming into a vampire hybrid, he appeared gaunt and exhausted, as though recovering fro...

Chapter 101: Bestowal of Flower Honey

This honey, even in this otherworldly realm, would probably struggle to find buyers, let alone back on Earth.

Is it really bees born from a curse?

Not only were their abilities somewhat demonic, but even the honey they produced was equally eerie.

"Would eating this stuff cause mutations?"

Hua Mi dared not try it easily.

Regardless of its special effects...

The snowflakes didn't drift over to Matthew's side of the hill, yet the decay and demise lingered, making him uncomfortable at every moment.

Taking a glance, indeed, the snowflakes drifted from the sky above that tree. However, the haze above the treetop, combined with the mossy hill's characteristic mist, obscured the sky.

Redirecting his attention, Matthew swiftly cast two spells towards Reiga's direction.

"Frosty Path!" "Withering Grasp!"

One blue and one gray debuf...

Chapter 149: What Can Your Mages Not Learn (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The magic carpet was conspicuous; as soon as it descended, the wild frogmen noticed it. They eyed the carpet warily, croaking in their language, a few of them brandishing their spears.

However, they were quickly halted by another frogman who seemed to be their leader.

Matthew noticed that these frogmen had green skin, indicating they were all warriors by profession. The frogmen society was structured with str...

"Ah~"

"Okay, okay!"

After a while, Margaret interrupted Matthew:

"I can tell you're not naturally gifted, but you work hard enough. Remember this feeling, practice repeatedly when you return, and you'll have a chance to grasp the basics of the Suerel's Chanting Technique - the practice method."

"To truly get into it, though, you'll need consistent practice. There are no shortcuts in the world of magic. Many things you think are shortcuts often turn out to be traps. The...

As Reiga emerged from the room, Zeller busied himself at the nearby desk. Matthew relayed the intelligence concerning the Withering Cult, also giving a brief introduction to Eli's situation.

Reiga, hearing this, displayed the air of an experienced individual. "Ah, young infatuation, it's indeed a tough nut to crack."

"I've seen that white cat myself. Honestly, she's quite attractive, with an inexplicable charm," Reiga added.

Matthew looked at Reiga strangely. "Do you even un...

In the heart of the oak forest, ancient power surged back to life.

Summoning the forest guardians was a laborious task; the innate constraints of plant life made them less dynamic than animals.

Matthew's forest was still young. In natural circumstances, producing oak guardians would take centuries.

However, the presence of the fairy princess broke this limitation.

Lysanna's incantation drew power not from the floral realms but from an inner plane—the "Multiverse Tree...

"What's the Elixir of Eternal Youth?"

Matthew inquired.

The humanoid creature impatiently waved a broom, "The Elixir of Eternal Youth is just that, if you don't have it, you won't get what you want."

"And one more thing, only one of you can pass through here. The other has to stay and help me sweep, or I'll eat both of you!"

She grinned, her white teeth contrasting with blood-red gums, giving off a terrifying vibe.

Terrified, Lysanna shrunk behind Matthew.

"Can I enter the fairy's garden?" Matthew asked, surprised.

Peggy nodded vigorously. "You can once you turn into a fairy."

Matthew readily agreed. "Okay."

His interest in the fairy world had always been profound. So when he confirmed that the fairy's garden resembled a realm like Moon Haze Forest, Matthew gladly accepted Peggy's offer.

Peggy seemed thrilled. She took out a small wand and waved it energetically. "Don't resist, Matthew."

A series of pale green ligh...

"Who are you people!?"

The wooden figure staggered over, drawing his sword as he walked, the armor clinking.

Eckmonde stepped back, smiling at Matthew. "It's your turn. I can't kill him easily."

"He's a puppet of the evil dragon, long devoid of life. Killing him is a release for his soul, more pitiable than the undead."

Matthew acted swiftly, casting a 'Malicious Transformation.'

But the white light struck the wooden figure's neck.

It remained unaffected! "...

Near the dense treehouse, Henry cautiously approached, leaving his apprentice outside the farm, going forth to make connections on his own.

"What kind of magical item could create such a magnificent dwelling in this desolate land?" Henry marveled at the sight before him, his eyes filled with envy.

He speculated that among these mages, there must be some high-ranking big shots, at least starting from the fifth tier. This assumption made him somewhat uneasy.

Mages, especially ...

Chapter 141: No One Understands Bluffing Like Me

The West Valley Farm lay within the Golden Plains, less than ten kilometers from the South Trading Post in Rolling Stone Town.

In this stretch where the vast plains of gold met the borders of Rolling Stone Town, wrinkles formed, christened by the locals as the "West Valley Mountains."

Undulating hills stood here, occasionally frequented by kobolds or other humanoid races. In the heart of these mountains lay the We...

Game Market 1983 - Chapter 160

The gaming industry in Korea experienced rapid growth from the release of the legendary "신검" (Shingum) in 1987.

While Japan and the United States saw gaming industry growth through console market developments, Korea's expansion was fueled by the proliferation of PCs. However, due to insufficient legal restrictions on illegal game software duplication, even outstanding masterpieces crumbled due to poor sales.

What's even more chilling is that almost anyone with a PC at that tim...

"Wow!!!"

"I can't believe we actually cleared it!"

The users gathered for the event cheered for the elite party of the Gwangjeon Warriors guild, but my feelings were rather complicated.

"'Butt'... the name of a great hero is 'Butt'..."

Hayashi, who was standing beside me at that moment, seemed to share my sentiment. He asked me with a chuckle in his voice.

"Ch-Chief... Does this mean the hero class character appearing in part 2 will be named..."

"Yeah. Butt...

"Ah~ Come to think of it, Junhyuk, we should meet your parents soon too. When are you going to Korea? Are you too busy right now?"

"Um...? Oh, well..."

"Last time I went to Korea, I thought of stopping by your house. If I had seen them back then, it wouldn't have been awkward..."

Yuki's words made me momentarily forget what I wanted to say as I gazed at her.

"Why is that, Junhyuk?"

"I'll talk about our parents slowly later. Can we hold off mentioning it to your p...

Short Story: Dragon Emblem - part 2

After graduating high school in Osaka and moving to Tokyo, I found myself on a hiatus from university but firmly established in a respectable job.

Even amidst tough job market conditions due to the economic downturn, landing a position at Pentagon, ranked as the number one company coveted by students my age, felt like a dream.

What’s more, I wasn't tied to the office like an average salaryman; I had the luxury of working from home.

Pentagon employees could receive games re...

On a spring day in 1987...

"Ka-ahng!"

The sound of aluminum bats striking a ball reverberated through the curtains fluttering in the spring breeze.

"I'll handle this!"

"Yeah, Ichiro! Fight on!"

The giggles of girls outside the window were particularly irksome today.

"Don't they ever get tired? School's over; they should head home. Extracurricular activities can freeze to death..."

I silently slung my bag over my shoulder, about to leave the classroom,...

*[Dragon Emblem 2's Hardcore Mode Cleared, Thank You]*

The current experience you've enjoyed is the highest difficulty mode of Dragon Emblem, known as Hardcore Mode. To make it to the ending with just one playthrough is an extreme challenge. Throughout this journey, you've likely learned how to survive in the world of Dragon Emblem through numerous deaths.

"Hardcore mode? Wait, there's difficulty in RPG games?"

In this era of RPG games, the usual thoughts revolved around lin...

"'Sometimes, it's necessary to leave your comrades behind...'"

"This is a complete mess..."

Kang Junhyuk couldn't close his mouth, witnessing the first party crumble in an instant at just the first stage. I leaned in close to his ear and whispered.

"Observe and learn. If they're acting like that, just consider them as non-existent comrades and move on. Keep that in mind."

"I didn't have high expectations anyway. And my character can't even move forward properly~"

<EP. 27: Monster Raid (1)>

Before the battle commenced, I rose from my seat momentarily and received the microphone from the host.

After a brief introduction on stage, I informed the demonstrators of crucial points before deploying our allies.

"Before we delve into the battle, there are a few things I'd like to share about the Monster Raid system.

Among those who couldn't join today's raid, there were inquiries about 4-player party quests, asking if they must be ...

Soon after, I gathered the Critical members separately in the staff lounge of Tamago Shop for a brief get-together. There were eight of us attending the meetup, including me, and since we were all meeting for the first time, there was a hint of awkwardness in the air.

As I introduced myself and explained the party play for the "Hop Goblin Dungeon" we were about to play, setting up a special event zone, everyone looked at me in surprise.

"So... You're Mr. K, the developer of Dragon...

I glanced at the chat room, taking a sip of herbal tea and offering a faint smile.

"Hey, this quest won't work solo, huh? Says it needs four users at level 10."

"Really? But how can we have four? The bundled data cable only supports two users, right?"

"Oh, right! I heard from the Tamago Shop staff that they're selling a separate four-player cable this weekend."

"Seriously? Wow!! So, we can really tackle the dungeon with four people?"

"Awesome. Gathering four to g...

"The last player to claim victory in the grand war... will become the hero of Dragon Emblem 2."

"Wow... wowowowow!!!"

That statement, though officially announced later through a magazine, is true.

I'm planning the ending based on the very first player who completed all scenarios in Dragon Emblem 2.

Hmm... Something felt a bit odd just now, didn't it? Planning an ending for a pre-existing game doesn't make sense.

But explaining it like this would make it instantly...

January 1, 1992.

While the first day of the new year in Japan usually involves paying respects at nearby shrines, for gamers, January 1, 1992, was the long-awaited day for the release of the Dragon Emblem 2 trial version.

Moreover, it was just yesterday, December 31st.

The Psychic Force exclusive arcade center, which held the country's first open event, was bustling with people from the early morning. The place, filled only with Psychic Force boards as per the "exclusive" ta...

"Excuse me, Suzuki-san. I have a question. May I ask?"

As I spoke, the crowd at the event hall turned their attention toward me.

"Sure, go ahead."

"The game you just showcased. Is it truly a porting designed specifically for the NEGA Drive? From what I know, while the NEGA Drive boasts high CPU processing speed, its graphical capabilities pale in comparison to the Super Family, yet the footage you just displayed seemed to surpass the NEGA Drive's graphical performance by far...

"Feel free to expect."

Sure. You should expect, too...

Suzuki and I grinned at each other, shaking hands firmly.

Soon after, the NEGA production announcement began amid a grand atmosphere.

In the home console industry, NEGA firmly held the top position, unlike Mintendo, which lagged behind. While it might concede the title of the second in command to Laon recently, in the arcade industry, NEGA stood unchallenged.

Kawaguchi and I sat at the table adorned with the ...
