DH : [101] Mid-Game Boss

In the upper floors, it would be impossible to encounter such monsters that can predict an enemy's movements. Not only were their abilities enhanced, but their intelligence also saw a significant improvement. The monsters of the middle floors were far more dangerous than those up to the 12th floor.

In the original story, even Bell needed a team to explore the middle floors.

After the distant Almirajs threw their stone axes, the ones in front became even more frenzied instead of re...

SO : 25 Time is Cruel

Natsuki Minamiya closed her eyes and tilted her head back, letting the warm water from the showerhead cascade over her.

The soothing warmth trickled down her glossy black hair and onto her smooth back, providing the witch with a rare moment of relaxation.

Though petite and appearing almost childlike, her cold demeanor and mature behavior gave her an air that transcended her youthful appearance.

Natsuki's skin was flawless, unmarred by any blemishes or imperfections.

SO : 24 Love

Saigou's words deeply stirred Natsuki Minamiya.

After a moment's hesitation, she composed herself and said, "This is my contract with the island management."

"Since the contract has been signed, I will see it through to completion. Moreover, becoming a component of the Prison Barrier was voluntary on my part."

"Seeing that I adhere to the contract, as a devil, shouldn't you be gratified? At least with me, even a devil's contract will not be breached."

Saigou sat beside...

SO : 23 The Contract

Unfortunately, Natsuki Minamiya's expression, though potentially intimidating to others, had little effect on Saigou. To him, it was akin to a kitten mewing—its claws sharp, but not dangerous if one is careful.

Seeing Saigou merely leaning against the railing with a teasing smile, Natsuki Minamiya struggled to keep her irritation in check as she continued eating quietly.

After spending a few months with Zarathustra, Natsuki felt that bickering with the devil had become a daily r...

SO : 22 Poor Natsuki-chan!

At Private Academy's high school, Natsuki Minamiya propped her chin on her hand, gazing absentmindedly out the window with a slightly bored expression on her delicate face.

She sat in the second-to-last seat by the window—a spot reserved for protagonists.

Given Natsuki Minamiya's height, she should have been sitting in the front row, perhaps even near the teacher's desk.

However, Natsuki firmly rejected that position, even threatening to "die" if forced to comply.

Du...

SO : 21 Consequence

Although Natsuki Minamiya was a high school student without parents, her unique circumstances meant she was always under the watchful eye of the manager of Itogami Island.

As a result, Natsuki Minamiya enjoyed special privileges not available to other ordinary high school students. For example, she lived alone in a luxury apartment, and the manager covered her daily expenses.

Even though Natsuki was aware that everything she was receiving now would come at a heavy cost in the futu...

DN : [298] Succubus Cafés

This world was strange—or perhaps it was just one of its peculiar rules that made it so.

In most respects, it resembled the typical fantasy world found in many other stories: a variety of races coexisted here, from humans and elves to beastmen and dragons. The world was filled with the romanticism of a classic otherworld, featuring magical beasts, adventurers, and dungeons.

But there was one unique characteristic, the defining "theme" of this world: the Succubus Cafés.

DH : [100] Tragic Life

"If you don't want to be alone, you can find a supporter to accompany you."

Aiden's words from yesterday echoed in Bell's mind. He looked at Liliruca, her innocent smile and the story she casually shared tugging at his heartstrings.

No, it should be said that anyone who is honest and kind would find it hard not to feel pity.

"Lili is so small and weak. She can't do anything. Everyone in her familia is tired of her, finding her a nuisance. Even if Lili begs, they won...

SO : 20 The First Three Thousand Years

The terrifying magical power emanating from the golden knight caused the protective barrier Aya Tokoyogi had prepared to crack inch by inch.

The barrier was intended solely to conceal the witch's ritual and had no capability to withstand the magical power of a Primogenitor level.

In contrast, the devil standing opposite the golden knight remained unperturbed.

Centered around the devil, a wave of aging aura spread out, causing the earth beneath to wither and the vegetation—...

SO : 19 Another Cosmology

Aya Tokoyogi's eyes widened in shock as she watched the devil, who identified itself as Zarathustra, suddenly appear behind Natsuki Minamiya.

In the witch's understanding, devils were not entities with self-will. Unlike demons, the term demon race referred to the various non-human races that actually existed in the world.

Vampires, werewolves, ogres, dragons, and even elves—whether numerous, scarce, or extinct—were collectively known as the demon race.

Devils, however, w...

SO : 18 Aging and Decay

Saigou's words tempted Natsuki Minamiya to believe, but her instincts told her that the words of such an evil and terrifying entity were not to be trusted.

Natsuki was not the type to surrender without resistance, nor was she someone who would give up all struggle without a moment's thought.

Although Saigou had told her that resistance would be futile and that even choosing self-destruction would only add to the mockery, she could not know the truth of his words without trying. 2024-09-07 03:14:35 +0000 UTC View Post

SO : 17 Demon Always Lies

At this moment, Natsuki Minamiya reflected on everything that had happened to her earlier.

The peculiar black paper had been picked up on her way to high school.

As a pure-blooded witch, Natsuki had not yet completed her contract with the devil, but she had received elite training from demon hunters since childhood.

Moreover, Natsuki possessed an extraordinary innate talent for spatial manipulation.

However, spatial magic requires an immense amount of magical power, a ...

SO : 16 All Evil of the World

Endless darkness completely engulfed Natsuki Minamiya's consciousness.

When her awareness returned, she found herself in a void of nothingness.

Here, all around—above, below, and every direction—was darkness. It was as if this place were the source of all darkness and evil that has existed from the dawn of time to the present.

"What is this place?"

Natsuki's voice was slurred and indistinct, even she herself didn't realize that her trembling body was causing her te...

DN : [297] Interspecies Reviewers

August watched Meidri, who was standing before him, her eyes vacant and her expression frozen. He couldn't help but feel puzzled—what had happened to her?

Several seconds passed, and still, she made no move or sound.

"Is something wrong, Meidri?"

Curious, August walked over to the peculiar speaker-like object that had caught his attention. Was this some kind of magical tool unique to this world?

"Meidri seems to be in a daze. Is there something I can pass on for you?...

DH : [99] Fat Sheep

The Hellhounds, of course, did not comprehend Aiden's words. The foremost beast charged directly at him.

"No response? Then I'll take that as consent." Aiden's right hand gripped Durandal.

With those words, Aiden's figure shot forward like a crimson meteor.

As both closed the distance, the fifty-meter gap vanished in an instant.

Rough and uneven, their entire bodies pitch black, the beasts' eyes glowed crimson, and their wide mouths were all clear before Aiden.

"Natsuki, are you ready?"

The elegant woman, adorned in a magnificent twelve-layered kimono with fiery eyes, gazed at her companion and ally with a somewhat complex expression.

SO : 14 The Proposal

Saigou waved his hand towards Demiurge and Shalltear.

Demiurge, with one hand clasped behind his back, bowed gracefully, adjusted his glasses, and walked slowly to stand before Saigou.

Shalltear, on the other hand, was panting heavily.

Her crimson eyes shimmered with a fervent and twisted obsession as she crawled on the ground, approaching Saigou with the eagerness of a loyal dog.

Once she reached Saigou, Shalltear's delicate nose sniffed the air, her waxen skin flushi...

SO : 13 Contrasts

Saigou was left speechless by the situation.

As a successful person who had climbed to the top and wielded power over resources, there were many who wanted to serve him like loyal dogs.

But even so, most people were a bit more subtle about it when they were around him.

To have someone like Shalltear boldly declare it in front of everyone, and even take pride in it, was something Saigou had never experienced before.

Saigou's gaze fell on Shalltear.

Shalltear Blood...

SO : 12 Loyal

Though he was filled with excitement and eager to find out what had happened, Saigou remained calm and composed at this moment.

He gazed at the floor guardians kneeling before him, all of them expressing their loyalty to him.

The Floor Guardian of the first to third levels, Shalltear Bloodfallen, is a True Vampire who appears as a noble and elegant young girl of around thirteen or fourteen years old.

The Floor Guardian of the fifth level, Cocytus, belongs to the insect race ...

The game Yggdrasill is set against the backdrop of the World Tree from Norse mythology.

The Great Tomb of Nazarick, once located in Helheim, the realm of the dead, was initially a hidden dungeon within the game. Through the collective efforts of the members of Ainz Ooal Gown, it was conquered and transformed into their guild base.

The tomb is comprised of ten distinct levels, including the Tomb, the Underground Lake, the Glacier, the Jungle, the Magma, the Wasteland, the Royal Sui...

In the relatively small room, August and Meidri stared at each other in silence.

In the end, Meidri decided to believe August. After all, good looks are a kind of justice. Whether you admit it or not, when you see a handsome man or a beautiful woman, your first impression will undoubtedly be much better than when you see an ordinary or unattractive person.

"Fine, I'll believe you this time. But if another person finds out about what happened today..."

Dark energy began to sw...

The petite girl stood about one meter tall, clad in a loose cream-colored jumpsuit. Beneath her low-brimmed hood peeked brown bangs and a faintly visible, adorable face. Strapped to her back was a backpack several times larger than her diminutive frame, leaving a lasting impression.

"Although it may be presumptuous, I'd like to ask, onii-san, do you need a supporter?" The girl lifted her head, revealing cute, delicate features. Her round, wide eyes met Bell's gaze with a pleasing smile....

SO : 10 The Sage of Gensokyo

In the Japanese-style cabin within the interstice, Yukari Yakumo sensed something unusual. She opened her amethyst-colored eyes, her expression serious, and abruptly sat up from the tatami mat.

The great youkai's figure was striking, with a lithe waist and graceful demeanor.

Her golden hair cascaded around her, the thin blanket slipping down her smooth, pale skin, revealing glimpses of her delicate, white limbs.

Normally, when Yukari Yakumo awoke from her winter slumber, she...

SO : 9 Archon

Morax gazed downward at the peculiar black piece of paper in his hand, remaining silent.

This item had been obtained by him quite accidentally not long ago.

Several months prior, Morax had witnessed an unusual star crossing the false heavens of the eastern sky and falling to the earth below.

Responding to his intuition, he, along with his friend, Azhdaha, an ancient Earth Dragon, traveled to the site where the star had fallen and discovered this black card.

SO : 8 The Unborn Yet-to-Be

In the endless darkness, only Saigou's consciousness existed here.

This darkness was the afterlife Saigou had experienced, the very place where he had received the gift from the Mother of the Evil Gods.

As Saigou willed it, a male figure materialized in the void.

He was tall, with a slender yet immensely powerful build, black hair, and dark eyes. His features bore an otherworldly beauty, appearing less human and more like something beyond.

This was Saigou's form as a h...

SO : 7 Secret

With steady steps, Saigou made his way from the Tenth Floor to the Ninth Floor after leaving the Throne Room. Behind him, Albedo followed closely, her silk-gloved hands gracefully folded in front of her, moving with the poise of an elegant noblewoman.

Her iridescent eyes, glowing with a golden light, were fixed on Saigou's back, adorned in a magnificent robe. Her gaze occasionally flickered, and a blush colored her cheeks. The long, slender legs beneath her silk gown moved in unison, he...

SO : 6 God is Dead

"Yes, Lord Zarathustra!"

Without a moment's hesitation, Albedo responded to Saigou's command, which had almost trampled upon her pride. This stunningly beautiful, pure-white demon, clad in a dress that accentuated her figure to perfection, gracefully approached him.

Her steps were delicate and elegant, reminiscent of a refined and genteel noblewoman. Wearing white silk gloves on her slender hands, Albedo moved forward until she stood before Saigou. Then, she bent her exquisitely s...

Looking at the description of this item, August felt a surge of excitement. A Dimension Travel Card—just from the name, it sounded like it was made for enjoyment. Besides, after get isekai, time would be frozen in his current world, so August had no concerns.

Once this idea popped into his head, it became ...

"But I don't have any valis right now..." Bell frowned as he spoke.

"If you don't have valis, I do." When the topic turned to money, Aiden flashed a confident smile. "I don't need to earn valis; valis finds its way to me on its own."

"Huh? Senpai, are you going to buy it for me? You've already helped me so much; I don't want to trouble you further." Bell immediately objected upon hearing Aiden's offer.

"Are you really going to cry just from a few words, Momonga?" Saigou remarked with a hint of amusement, noticing the barely concealed emotions in Momonga.

His smile, however, was unnervingly enigmatic, sending shivers down one's spine.

Momonga, being a person who valued emotions deeply and was known for his amiable nature, was unlikely to be disliked, even if he wasn't universally admired. Saigou, having spent nearly twelve years in the game with Momonga since his rebirth in this ...
