Seeing the pile of gold coins on the ground, all the centaurs' eyes burned with excitement.

So much gold would be enough to sustain their entire village for a long time.

Especially the two young female centaurs, whose eyes were filled with schadenfreude. Among women, particularly between beautiful women and ordinary ones, there often arises jealousy and resentment. Ordinary women can’t help but envy those who are more outstanding and beautiful.

Shianus was no exception. Du...

The shadow blade, formed from the remnants of the dragon’s shadow, tore through the nearby magical beasts with ease.

Around August, the forest floor was littered with the carcasses of various magical creatures. He was deep within a dense forest, and his purpose here was straightforward: to hunt magical beasts and gather nutrients for his little treasure. While the magical beasts were not particularly valuable, every bit helped.

August was also on the lookou...

The next morning, August slowly opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by women.

Last night had been a whirlwind of activity—twenty women, none left untouched, the revelry stretching into the early hours of dawn. August was somewhat taken aback by his own audacity; to have spent an entire night with twenty women was truly historic.

Observing the women still asleep beside him, August decided not to disturb them and quietly left the small world.

It was already past ten o...

DN : [314 ] World Tree

August, now fully transformed into his Demon God form, exuded the overwhelming presence of a living god of destruction.

The tavern owner, a dryad, found herself completely paralyzed in his presence. The sheer difference in strength between them was insurmountable, like an unbridgeable chasm. She could barely move under the crushing weight of his power, feeling death’s cold grip inching closer. If she dared defy him, there was no doubt—she would die.

Thankfully, August dispelle...

DN : [313] True Colors

Meidri’s face flushed bright red as she witnessed the scene before her. This was undoubtedly one of her most embarrassing moments, a piece of her past she wished could stay buried.

Instinctively, she moved to snatch back the eggs that August had just revealed, but he swiftly tucked them away, giving her no chance to reclaim them.

The back-and-forth struggle made Meidri even angrier.

“Meidri, there’s no point in resisting. I won’t ever give up on you,” August said w...

DN : [312] Dinner

The tavern, Ale and Eats, was always at its busiest during the evening. The crowd didn't start thinning out until late at night. Meidri, being the sole worker for the night shift, had to handle the entire load on her own—a demanding task, to say the least.

August, meanwhile, sat quietly nearby, patiently waiting for Meidri to finish her work.

Fortunately, all Meidri had to do was tidy up the place. She didn’t need to worry about washing dishes or cleaning cups; that was someon...

DN : [311] Conquest

On their way back, Stunk, Zel, and Kanchal witnessed firsthand what true power looked like.

Every magical beast they encountered along the way was no match for August. Even when a pack of over twenty Flame Wolves attacked together, they were all swiftly annihilated by August in the blink of an eye. His shadow blades were simply terrifying.

It was as if he were strolling casually, and wherever he walked, no magical beasts could approach him.

Strong! Unstoppable! Unfathomable!...

DN : [310] Power

As dawn broke, Stunk and the others emerged, having enjoyed a night of indulgence. However, their expressions told a different story. The three looked visibly drained, with Kanchal swaying as he walked, almost as if he might collapse any moment.

"Wow, it looks like you all had quite a night," August remarked with a smirk.

August had already finished breakfast and taken a leisurely stroll around town. For someone like him, sleep and rest seemed almost trivial.

Last night, Aug...

DN : [309] Deal

A deep roar echoed through the air.

Just as they were nearing the neighboring town, a beast finally appeared. A massive, tusked wild boar emerged from the underbrush, its enormous tusks menacing and enough to make anyone feel a sense of dread.

“Well, well, finally a monster! Time to die!” Stunk yelled, charging forward, his sword flashing in his hand.

In an instant, he drew his blade. With a swift movement, three deep cuts appeared on the wild boar’s hide, and before l...

DN : [308] Rich

There was no denying that having someone to help really sped things up. In just one afternoon, the house situation was settled.

Thanks to Kanchal's introduction, August met with the property owner, who initially quoted 2.8 million gold coins. This was already 200,000 coins less than the 3 million Kanchal had mentioned earlier. However, after a bit of haggling from Kanchal, they managed to bring the price down to 2.6 million.

After signing the transfer contract, August officially b...

DN : [307] Teased

Knock knock.

August rapped on the door, unwilling to barge in unannounced—although, he had done so once before.

"Who is it?"

"It's me."

The door creaked open, revealing Meidri standing inside, her face expressionless as she looked at August. Without waiting for an invitation, August walked right in, leaving Meidri startled. She hadn’t even had time to stop him. Who would have expected a man to just casually walk into a woman’s room like this?

"Hey,...

DN : [306] Succubi

At this moment, August had become the object of envy and admiration for every man in the room.

Women who worked in succubus establishments were often known for their flirtatious behavior, not necessarily immoral, but far from modest. This was largely influenced by the customs of the world they lived in.

Yet, for a succubus cowgirl to seek out a man in broad daylight—especially to thank him for a wonderful night—was a tremendous honor.

Every patron in the tavern, save for...

DN : [305] Succubus

Just as Meidri left, Stunk and the others surrounded August.

"Hey, you’re not kidding, right? You really took down that frenzied gray bear?" Stunk couldn't help but ask. Though the frenzied gray bear wasn’t considered a particularly strong beast, it wasn’t something an ordinary person could defeat.

"It was me. And honestly, there’s no reason for me to pretend about something like that."

"You’ve got some guts, kid. You don’t even look injured. Not bad at all."

DN : [304] Zel

Before long, despite the brawl, business at the tavern continued as usual.

Though Meidri didn't spare Stunk any friendly glances, she still served the drinks he ordered.

Stunk sipped his beer, feeling a bit better after getting hit twice as soon as he walked in. However, he didn't let it bother him too much. He was an easygoing person, not one to hold grudges.

"By the way, Stunk, where's Zel? It's getting late, and I haven't seen him," August asked.

"Zel? I don't know....

DN : [303] Kanchal

Meidri's ears perked up the moment she heard Stunk's voice. She turned around, immediately spotting the scruffy face of the man who had been testing her patience for far too long.

In modern society, his rugged, weathered look might have been considered attractive, but here, in this world, it only made him look messy, even shabby.

"Stunk, did you take August to the succubus house yesterday?" she asked, her voice carrying a sharp edge.

"Yeah, we went to the 'Cowgirl Ranch.' Yo...

DH : [105] Sin

Due to Aiden's flapping wings, Bell acquired weapons from Hephaestus Familia earlier than expected and thus encountered Liliruca, who in the original stories became his supporter due to coveting his weapons.

Supported financially by Aiden, Bell's equipment surpassed even that of an ordinary Level 2 adventurer, replete with luxury.

The value of just two one-handed swords from Hephaestus Familia exceeded a million valis each, alongside armor, clothing, and potions, all of superior q...

SO : 32 Distorting the Natural Order

In the luxurious apartment where Natsuki Minamiya resided, Saigou sat in the unlit living room, illuminated only by the glow of the computer screen, reviewing numerous pieces of information about this world.

All this information came from the Itogami Island Management.

Since Natsuki Minamiya activated the spell that made herself an integral part of the Prison Barrier, the Island Management had placed immense trust in this witch.

The night passed uneventfully, and by the next morning, August woke up early.

Since he had gone to bed early—around nine o'clock the previous night—he found himself wide awake at the break of dawn.

Back at Kuoh Academy, August was accustomed to working late into the night. Though he had spent more than three hours at the succubus house the day before, he had gone there early and, naturally, left early as well.

With nothing pressing on his schedule, August strolled aimles...

DH : [104] The Injured Pair

He had only been gone for three days, who could have made her angry? Could it be Loki?

After a sigh, Hestia finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Aiden-kun, you've finally returned. Bell-kun's weapon is missing, and he came back injured."

However, hearing this from Hestia only deepened Aiden's confusion. Bell didn't seem like the type to get into conflicts with others, and lose his weapon... could this mean the plot was taking an unexpected turn?

His mind raced with t...

"Don't kill her!"

Seeing that Saigo seemed poised to deliver a fatal blow to Aya Tokoyogi, Natsuki Minamiya's expression shifted as she hastily shouted.

Saigo turned his head to look at Natsuki, a strange smile appearing on his face that made her heart skip a beat.

Natsuki's face fluctuated with a range of emotions, assuming Saigo had no intention of listening to her. Just as she was pondering how to stop him, Saigo unexpectedly loosened his grip, allowing Aya Tokoyogi's sle...

DN : [301] Cow Girl

It didn’t take long before a tall, golden-haired cow-girl appeared. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw August.

Due to some past incidents with previous clients, her reputation had spread throughout the town. As a result, she hadn't had any business for quite some time. Now, someone had finally chosen her, and not just anyone—a handsome man. How could she not be excited?

"Hello there, handsome. Was it you who requested me?"

"Yes, I did. Is there a problem?"

"No, not...

DH : [103] Anger

In the haze, dozens of Minotaurs widened their blood-red eyes, steam billowing from their nostrils. Their iron hooves pounded the ground as they charged towards Aiden, drawn in like bulls to a red cape.

Dozens of Minotaurs, standing over two meters tall with knotted muscles, rushed forward in a phalanx formation.

Thud Thud Thud

In the narrow corridor, the ground reverberated with each step. In just a few seconds, the horde of Minotaurs was upon Aiden.

Like a t...

SO : 30 Lord of Aging and Decay!

"Natsuki, do you really intend to stop me?"

Aya Tokoyogi's face, usually soft and delicate like that of a Yamato Nadeshiko, now grew dark and ominous. She stared intently at Natsuki Minamiya, her voice steady and deliberate as she spoke each word.

"I'm sorry, Aya... I have to stop you. This is my duty as a mage from Itogami Island."

Natsuki Minamiya stood up, brushing the dust off her clothes and patting down her Gothic-style long skirt, now stained with dirt. Her expression...

SO : 29 The Advantage Is Mine!

"How is this possible?!"

Aya Tokoyogi's eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the devilish figure formed from inky black flames before her. Her incredulous exclamation echoed with shock.

"As a devil's servant, how can you manifest in this world devoid of magic?!"

The Witch of the Notaria was stunned.

As a fellow witch, she understood that devils were merely a concept bound by contracts.

A witch's guardian, like the devilish servants, was a manifestation of m...

Upon hearing Aya Tokoyogi's words, Natsuki Minamiya's expression darkened significantly.

She parted her crimson lips, her voice faltering as she gazed at Aya with incredulity. "...Aya, do you even realize what you're doing?"

"...How can you use that forbidden grimoire, and on Itogami Island no less?!"

The Black Bible was notorious among mages and was considered one of the most terrifying grimoires ever collected by the Library of Criminal Organizati...

In the private academy, within the classroom where Natsuki Minamiya's class is held.

A tall woman, clad in a resplendent twelve-layered kimono, with striking eyes reminiscent of a fiery hue, exuding a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko grace, was using a magic-infused brush to write and draw on the blackboard with the poise of a teacher.

The woman was elegant and noble, with beautiful features—her refined oval face carried a subtle allure amidst its elegance, her clear eyes and bright smil...

SO : 26 The Truth

The sudden surge of magical energy from Itogami Island jolted Natsuki Minamiya awake.

The petite, doll-like girl's face was serious as she sprang upright like a coiled spring. Her gem-like blue eyes flickered with a trace of unease.

"What's wrong? Did you have a nightmare? You look so frightened."

"…Honestly, Natsuki-chan, how old are you to still be having nightmares and getting scared awake?"

"You usually act so grown-up, but now you're just like a child."

Time passed swiftly, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.

In this Western fantasy world, without smartphones, computers, or televisions, the nightlife naturally reverted to more "primitive impulses" (if you catch my drift).

August wasn't sure about other places, but in this small town, he got a firsthand look at what Succubus Cafe was all about. Goodness, the entire street was lined with succubus establishments.

Not only that, but ladies of various races were out on...

Bell and Liliruca finally stepped into the dungeon.

The deep blue walls and ceiling, and the bioluminescent moss glowing with a blue hue, indicated that Bell and Liliruca had reached the second floor.

In the straight corridor, Bell swung his sword with all his might, slicing through a goblin and cutting it in half.

He then dodged an attack from a kobold lunging from above, and while evading, swung his left-hand sword abruptly, severing one of its legs.

The kobold, losi...

August felt a bit helpless. Why did these two have to drag him into their argument?

"Well, in my opinion, both age and appearance are important," he said diplomatically.

However, this response didn't sit well with Stank and Zel. They both felt that August was being a bit evasive.

August was fully aware of their dissatisfaction, but he wasn't trying to appease both sides. In fact, he had no intention of siding with either of them.

"To be honest, I prefer someone young, ...
