He heard surprising news.
"What? Ten days have passed?"
They said that ten days had passed down below, even though it had been only a day, no, not even 24 hours since they had come down from the sky island. He was very surprised, but all his companions seemed to have expected it and remained calm.
Noi nodded and explained.
"Yes. Time f...

The next day.
He woke up to the sound of Noi actively running around the field from the morning. His laughter, bursting out like a child's, was incredibly bright. As he got up dazedly and unconsciously moved towards the sound, the bright scenery of the sky island came into view.
It was a completely different landscape from what he had seen in the deep night.
The verdant field boasted fresh vitality...

The touch of the firm palm enveloping and stroking the shaft felt good, and even the sensation of the thumb circling the glans was thrillingly electrifying. Exhausted from wrestling with all sorts of emotions, his body was swept more quickly into the swamp of sexual sensation.
The heat that had started from the wound on his left arm and spread throughout his body now converged to a single point. It felt as if all his nerve endings ...

He let out an exasperated sigh, and Harenir just shrugged.
"I'll still give you credit for your confidence. To make such a threat in this situation..."
"W-wait, don't touch me, sob."
"Is that the level of confidence needed to boldly use necromancy in the Holy Empire?"
Thud, Harenir's hand touched his face. He flinched and turned his head as soon as Harenir reached out...

He curled up as if hiding, startled.
"I'm, hah, having difficulty breathing right now."
He explained, burying his face in his raised knees. His pronunciation was slurred, so it probably sounded quite ridiculous. But he didn't have the presence of mind to care about such things. In fact, he had been painfully suppressing his body's abnormalities for a while now.
The heat that had spread from his arm...

Harenir supported him with his arm as he staggered and almost fell.
"...You."
Then he looked down at him with a very strange expression, and normally he would have rejected being held by him. But regrettably, damn it, he couldn't.
"Ah, it hurts."
The succubus's claws were embedded in his left arm. That vicious bastard had managed to thrust its hand into him in its fin...

The succubus flew swiftly towards Kalterik, as if shot from a bow. This happened just before Kalterik could receive the holy relic.
Whoosh!
The holy relic rose high into the air as if trying to avoid the unrighteous energy. The succubus glared at the ceiling, its eyes bulging. An obsession bordering on compulsion rippled in the demon's red eyes.
[I must have it. I must take it!]

However, as he was hesitating due to a subtle lingering uneasiness about using necromancy in a sacred place, whoosh! The demonic energy surrounding Kalterik intensified. Dark red energy spread like a heat haze from the fingertips of the succubus reaching towards Kalterik's head.
The more he inhaled it, the more Kalterik seemed to be caught in a moment of memory, sobbing while kneeling.
"Ah, Dad. Mom.....

The more they reacted, the more the succubus looked at the two knights who had drawn their swords with amused eyes. However, when the succubus looked at Mela, its face changed strangely.
The succubus tilted its head slightly.
[...What are you? Why...]
"It seems this demon hasn't found the holy relic yet."
However, Harenir cut off the succubus's words abruptly and drew his sword. Th...

Meanwhile, the companions' speculations continued.
"According to what the first emperor said in his lifetime, it's an object that doesn't lose its light even in the darkest place..."
"Then it must be in a corner of the temple! Since the center has an open ceiling, they might have deliberately placed it in a dark place where light doesn't reach!"
Kalterik quickly added his opinion to Harenir's mutte...

Not only was it clearly different from the structure of the map Noi had drawn, but the way the wall was caved in was definitely not a normal way of creating a path. Harenir seemed to have realized this too, as he ordered him to step back, and as he was hesitantly following, Mela muttered.
As if she had identified 'its' identity just by taking one deep breath.

"...uh..."
Ah. His opened mouth froze without being able to let out a sound. His head turned white and his vision flashed. The feeling of satisfaction as all the space from below to above his navel was finally filled completely without any gaps, and the incredible pleasure that he couldn't even tell where it started. The impact of these two things hitting simultaneously, each overwhelming on its own, was truly tremendous.
Only after a long while...

This guy was Caesar now. Inside THE MIST, he was just Caesar. Caesar. ...Kapros had to keep that in mind.
"Escape? Didn't you kill him?"
"He wouldn't die so easily just from taking a hit to the shoulder. Didn't you already know that?"
"What are you talking about? You threw him off a cliff."
At Kapros's question, Caesar once again lifted the corner of his mouth. It was clearly a sneer.
"That's escaping. He was probably lucky...

It was a laughable story. When Kapros had been living listlessly in reality, trying to suppress memories of the accident and, by extension, memories related to Jeong Seung-jo, he had suffered so much from memories that wouldn't fade no matter what. Now, because of that single thought, he even wanted to talk with Jeong Seung-jo. Moreover, he had ended up walking here of his own accord.
If he had only wanted to run away, there was nothing stopping h...

The grass swayed gently in the breeze. The vast field was dotted with colorful wildflowers, creating a scene like a painting, and every time the wind blew, a fresh scent wafted through the air.
In the distance, several old buildings were visible. The structures, covered in vines, wore the unique stillness of a space long untouched by visitors. The temple at the center of the various buildings seemed to shimmer with ethereal light a...

Min-ki took out two crisp pieces of paper from his inside pocket.
"The kids say they don't feel like going to a class president election. They're so dumbfounded they won't even connect via video call. I've been delegated their votes, so I have ten votes."

Leonardo's eyelids moved slightly. His face became blank as if recalling a memory, and he briefly asked back:
"Huh?"
His agitated golden eyes were very busy, seemingly recalling his past statements. He hesitated before asking again:
"You're saying I said something like that? When?"
"Yesterday, and on the day of the examination too."
Hugo thought about being more specific, but waited a moment for Leonardo to recall o...

Gainando snatched the steak like a skilled hunter and tore into it like a brave lion.
Yi-Han asked in surprise.
"Isn't it hot?"
"Ib's nob hob."
"What?"
Gulp!
"I numbed it with dark magic!"
Gainando said with a proud smile.
By locally numbing the sensation in his mouth, he could eat hot food a step ahead of others.
At those words, Yi-Han slapped Gainando on the back.

Contracting with a star was several times more difficult than finding one.
Under the Yaksha King's harsh tutelage, Yi-Han was barely able to draw out a fragment of the star's power.
-Hmm. It seems you could draw out a bit more.-

Having persuaded the mage, the Yaksha King continued his explanation of astronomy.
-It's not unreasonable to find contracting with stars more difficult than contracting with spirits or demons. While spirits and demons are favorable to contracts...-
'Were they?'
Yi-Han inwardly made a sour expression.
But generally speaking, it was true.
Spirits and demons were generally favorable to contracts. They were beings born to resonate w...

The aide slowly looked around the space, then down at his own body before answering.
[I'm sorry, but I don't know how to enter His Majesty's tomb either...]
The sincerity was evident in his head-shaking gesture. The lord he served had died long ago, and he himself had been summoned as a soul after a very long time, so the probability of him lying was low. It was hard to suspect him of keeping an oath even after dea...

Swallowing his curses internally, but thinking they probably showed on his face, he nodded slightly. Refusing would only result in being dragged by the leash, and being uncooperative would only prolong the time he had to be held by Harenir. I’m only complying to finish the job quickly. Brainwashing himself with this thought, he let Harenir hold him.
This time, unlike the previous occasion where he was carried in both arm...

The next night.
Harenir really rested for a day and only moved the following day. Although handing over the scammers to the guards was quickly done, he deliberately refrained from trying to enter the sky island.
He guessed that Harenir had probably waited because it would be troublesome if he, already tired from using his ability once, collapsed in the sky island. Whil...

But of course, that surprise attack didn't work on Kalterik. Thwack! He easily blocked it by raising his arm, then in a linked motion, he threw the attacker over his shoulder. Boom! The man who fell with his back slamming into the floor convulsed for a moment before finally passing out.

That scene was clearly reflected in his eyes. The soul trembled slightly as if resisting the purple energy spreading from his hand, but it was eventually extracted. Bart's body went limp.
A thin thread was connected to his soul, and as he followed it with his gaze, he saw it was linked to the undead bound to the wall. As the thread gradually faded, he could see the undead raising its head.

In the commotion that arose the moment donations were mentioned, everyone turned to look as one person abruptly stood up. Bart welcomed him with a brightened face.

With goosebumps all over, he was dragged to the meeting place.
Without a chance to refuse, his arm was grabbed by the boy and he was pulled along. When he came to his senses, he was inside some warehouse building. The space, neatly arranged with several chairs, looked almost like a lecture hall.
The warehouse was packed with people wearing black robes. While some didn't cover their faces, most had their hoods pulle...

Regardless, he welcomed the librarian's answer. He quickly took the book and approached the table where his companions were gathered. They gave him very strange looks at his proactive behavior, but he ignored them and opened the book.

Noi, who had paid for the ribbon, asked softly. Though he knew this cat was a familiar, his gaze seemed captivated by its cute appearance.
"Does this cat have a name?"
