Though its shape was unclear, the sparkling red color was definitely visible. It was emitting the same light as that coming from the pillar.
Along with the music, the screen gradually rose, showing from above the building that had been ruins until just now but was no longer. With that final image of the structure standing proudly yet ominously in the black darkness, a dazzling red light burst forth, and the screen faded to black once more.

Just as Kapros was about to get up from the capsule after logging out, a severe, sharp pain struck his right leg.
"Ugh!"
Crash!
He tripped and fell, making it impossible to tell which hurt more - the pain in his chin from the impact or the pain in his knee. But he managed to grab the wall and stand up. He dragged his leg to the living room sofa and collapsed onto it.
"Huff... Huff..."
Only after catching his brea...

He approached again and pressed his lips against Tae-un's. This time, their mouths opened and the contact deepened. Tae-un knew that Soram's words meant more intimate physical contact than what they had done in the dormitory.
"Jin Soram..."
Soram preemptively blocked Tae-un's words. His chest was pushed, and his back fell onto the bed with a thud. Soram lay on top of Tae-un, not separating their lips. Wrinkles formed on the gray blanket unsuitabl...

Hugo walked through the forest at a leisurely pace, conversing with the 8th Platoon Leader. He needed to confirm that the annoying fire energy had completely disappeared beyond the gate, and he needed to observe the atmosphere of the forest and his subordinate beside him a bit more.
When Hugo asked if she had come alone, the 8th Platoon Leader answered that she had. Then, reading the atmosphere, she added that there were squad members who had bee...

Nero was silent for a moment. He couldn't immediately understand the other's words that had poured out like water.
Leniency, or whatever. Normally, he would have sneered. The leniency of the privileged was usually meager.
But the strange undercurrent he felt in the Commander's words made him tilt his head slightly without realizing it.
There were parts he hadn't heard properly and had glossed over due to irritating words in between. But "cl...

'I should pretend not to know.'
Yi-Han instinctively turned his body and lowered his head.
As he was already a member of the Stonemason Club, he would meet the seniors someday, but he didn't want to meet them at the scene where they were demolishing the workshop today.
Perhaps the instinct to rest a little on weekends had secretly appealed to Yi-Han's heart without him knowing.
Whoosh!
As Yi-Han's heart became anxious, <Bagni...

Although Professor Jorzik was momentarily flustered, as one of the few professors interested in students at Einroguard, he quickly realized the reason.
"It's because you have a lot of mana."
"Yes!"
Yi-Han's face brightened.
Although he had strangely much interest in strange positions, the skills possessed by the professor before his eyes were indeed real.
"How about mana absorption artifacts? The concept of a mage wearing mana a...

"He seems like a crazy person, so let's be careful."
"Is that so?"
Adenart was puzzled at Yi-Han's whisper.
When looking at Einroguard's professors, Professor Jorzik didn't seem particularly crazy.
Moreover, Adenart, being of royal blood, had grown up seeing numerous followers since childhood.
As followers of royalty usually had the (unreasonable) expectation that the royal they served would someday succeed to the emperor's thro...

'Is this the path Dang Ran-yeong came through...'
If so, he would have dealt with the enemies on his way in, so that direction should be safe. As Cheong-ra guided them in that direction, everyone rushed out. It was then that Mu-hwa shouted in surprise,
"Devotee Ye! Behind you!"
Cheong-ra quickly turned around. In that moment, the large man who had escaped had rushed out to catch the fleeing people.

As Cheong-ra paced in front of the iron bars, examining the outside, Mu-gyeol tapped the floor and invited him,
"Devotee Ye, come sit here and rest. Your leg hurts, doesn't it?"
"It's alright. I just want to walk for a bit."
In truth, his leg was in severe pain and he wanted to sit and rest. However, this was a prison cell. Neither the floor nor the walls were clean at all. He didn't want to lie on a floor where insects might spring out at a...

"Devotee Ye! Leave me here and escape quickly!"
Though frightened, Mu-hwa's eyes were resolute. Rather, those eyes even reflected guilt for involving an outsider like Cheong-ra in sect matters and causing him to face such a situation.
However, hearing Mu-hwa's words, it was Cheong-ra's eyes that hardened instead. Instead of fleeing, he gripped his sword handle even tighter and rushed at the large man.

Cheong-ra crossed the main gate of the Hengshan Sect with the tense Mu-hwa. When he glanced back, Dang Ran-yeong's presence had already disappeared without a trace. As he had thought before, it was an astonishing level of concealment technique. As he looked back once more, he heard a voice transmission.
–Don't look back.
At that, he walked straight ahead and glanced at Mu-hwa, who seemed too tense, so he smiled and spoke to her.

"Devotees, please have your meal."
As the sun rose, Mu-hwa brought breakfast on a small tray. Being Buddhists, the meal consisted mostly of pickled vegetables and greens, but Cheong-ra didn't feel like complaining about the food at all. The young nun's face showed a desperate hope for her sect's fate, entrusted to these strangers, as if she were grasping at straws.
"Devotee, did you sleep well last night?"

"No... that's not it."

Kapros had naturally assumed it would fall and die while burning, but the Kalap Titan was still alive, albeit charred black. As it escaped, the fire wind slowly lost its power and dissipated. Only black ash and desolate empty ground remained where the magic had swept through.
This was troublesome. Kapros had no strength left, and there was hardly anywhere to hide.

They had attempted their escape as the sun was setting, and now it was the boundary between evening and night. The countryside village without streetlights was completely dark.
The volcanic ash that had spread from Busan had already covered the sky here. Unable to turn on lights, the two couldn't even receive moonlight, and eventually made a dim light by covering a small stand with thin clothing.

Pulling at his jaw muscles that stung from the wound, Nero asked with the face of the world's greatest villain:

Originally, he had planned to insist until the end that he was the owner of these clothes, but he knew such lies wouldn't work anymore. It was obvious that pushing forward shamelessly would only backfire, with the other asking who he was trying to fool.

The rough tree bark against his back pricked his skin sharply, as if about to pierce through his clothes. It felt like his future in a nailed-shut solitary cell was rushing at him from behind.
Was the front facing the escape route any better? Not at all. The dug-up earth and trees pierced by ice created a grotesque scene with their exposed red innards. With sharp tips pointing at him as if about to pierce his head, the situation was the same in f...

'Even though familiar animals are advantageous for transformation magic...'
Among transformation magic, magic that transformed the mage themselves into other living beings was particularly high in difficulty and hard to control.
After all, as one had to maintain the identity of their soul while changing only the form of their body, it was inevitably more difficult compared to other magic.
As such, transformation magic was easily connected t...

Yi-Han paused at the professor's shout from behind.
He thought the professor might have some advice.
"Since it's a dangerous place, how about leaving the basilisk behind?"
It was Professor Bentozol's kind voice that Yi-Han had never heard before.
'I shouldn't have listened.'
Yi-Han resolutely ignored him and moved his feet.

Suddenly, he felt his mana rapidly depleting. It was the same sudden mana drain phenomenon he ha...

The second magic he would challenge next was Inferno. Currently, only the description "flames of hell" was visible, so it seemed he would need to master Blink to know the details. The third and final one was Blizzard, which, like Inferno, had no information other than a one-line description of "storm of ice." It seemed that these two attack spells would be formidable from the start, and he was already looking forward to them.

Kalaps were insect-type monsters that looked like a cross between crickets and spiders, but gigantic in size. They were a nuisance to traveling users due to their habit of attacking in groups.
