Dirk was surprised as Exos so directly decided to give him passing marks. He had made several pieces to test Dirk’s skill, but after just one he seemed satisfied. In fact, what he made wasn’t even the entire test piece for Geode, just one of six parts.
Dirk’s brow raised as he glanced back toward the dwarf.
“Are you sure?”
“I am. Your skill is more than enoug...

[What the hell was that?]
“Oh right, you weren’t conscious for that conversation.”
Dirk smiled before digging through his memories and visualizing the conversation he had with Grandpa Qoi.
Spyte received the data and quickly understood the cont...
2023-05-26 09:49:57 +0000 UTC View PostDirk didn’t know when, but he suddenly woke up.
His mana vision was a little hazy before sharpening as his mind processed everything.
The sights of his surroundings appeared. He was in the master bedroom of the Sky King. Pandora was also there, leaning against a wall while flipping through her book, not yet sensing his wakefulness.
However, he wasn’t conc...
2023-05-24 07:14:28 +0000 UTC View PostThis weekend, I will be leaving on a trip for State Competitions. Because I need to prepare and there has naturally been a lot going on in recent days, I haven't had any time to work on the stories.
I won't be posting anything for Serum this week, but I do actually have some extra American Isekai chapters sitting in the closet that I can pull out. So I'll be posting them, but I know...
2023-05-17 06:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostGrandpa Qoi almost gawked as he and Dirk froze in position, their spears having clashed perfectly to bring them both to a halt.
Then, he burst out with a laugh.
“Bahahaha! Yes, yes, yes! What a monster! Are you sure you aren’t supposed to learn the spear?”
He stopped as he said so, looking at Dirk’s form.
That last thrust seemed to be the pinnacle of ...

Dirk was silent as the Spear King spoke while smiling.
This man was Pandora’s grandfather and someone who thought fondly of Dirk. Since Dirk was the only person who could seem to interact with the true Pandora, this doting grandfather took a li...

As she walked down the street, a young woman spoke hesitantly, as if doubting her own words.
She was a mystical beauty, her body shrouded by a layer of foggy distortion. It was difficult to concentrate on her.
But that facade only lasted a few moments before disappearing, her figure returning to normal. This time, she looked a bit more ave...

Dirk woke up as he felt a small vibration in the ship. Taking a deep breath, he rose from the bed and shook the girl who was wrapped around him like a body suit.
“Hey, we’re here.”
“...Fine.”
Pandora forced herself up, spending a few minutes to gradually wake.
After getting ready, both of them headed out of their master bedroom...
2023-05-03 04:27:16 +0000 UTC View PostDirk spent an hour or so running away from the capital. He didn’t worry about his trail, merely crossing as much distance as he could.
Then, he encountered a road where he took out Pandora’s truck, which she had given him beforehand. Jumping in, he slammed the gas pedal before shooting off into the distance.
Like that, he drove for 6 more hours before diverting into ...
2023-04-28 17:37:05 +0000 UTC View PostDirk made his way through the hangar. Along the way, nobody had the slightest clue that he was there. Not even the several Tier 6’s noticed him. It didn’t matter if his shoulder brushed by theirs, he was completely imperceptible.
Soon, he arrived outside a door. This door had several locking mechanisms, and people passed through here even less than through the gate to the Sky Ki...
2023-04-26 04:48:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe next morning, I woke up bright and early to an alarm from my Aerial.
And that wasn’t the only thing I got.
After rolling over and spending a few minutes to wake up, I tapped the device and saw that I had a message.
It was from Rayla, and attached was an image. My brows raised as I opened it.
The picture was from the auction that came at the end of every month. Howe...
2023-04-21 05:58:21 +0000 UTC View Post“Whoa. I’m getting horny already.”
“Good god…”
Dirk muttered with a baffled expression. He had barely walked through the door and Pandora was talking dirty.
He saw her figure lounging on the couch within this apartment of hers. It was her residence after she started working at the airship facility. And only he was allowed to visit, because whenever he did so,...

“Dirk! Are you finished?”
“Yes. It went well, and I’m fine.”
“Are you sure?”
Seeing that she was in the green, Cecilia couldn’t help but move over and check her son’s condition. Dirk just smiled and let her.
At the same time, he noticed the large pool of dried black blood underneath him and staining his clothes. Perhaps that’...
2023-04-19 02:04:21 +0000 UTC View PostCecilia sat outside Dirk’s training room.
She had been monitoring his progress as he had been steadily advancing each day. Although he had stopped asking for her help and teachings, she never stopped making sure that nothing went wrong.
She knew he was trying to advance, so when the day came that he would need dense sources of mana, she made sure to be there.

Dirk found it hard to make sense of what exactly he was seeing while he looked at the container. At first glance, he found it difficult to discern anything special about the container. It almost looked like a rock in terms of its mana signature, nothing ...
2023-04-12 01:17:53 +0000 UTC View PostAfter Pandora arrived, Dirk and Alec continued to talk. It seemed like her presence made Magenta and Ivory more reserved, but the boys didn’t care about that, so they went into their own little world after ignoring the weird atmosphere.
It was Magenta who eventually spoke up, engaging in conversation with Pandora. Like that, the two were locked in discussion, talking about the aff...

Shouts echoed through the train cars, spurring me from my sleep.

Of course, we hadn’t been sleeping for long. In order to pass the time, ...

“Oh, that was my father.”
Dirk waved at Alec, making him relax. It was Ryker who had given the order for Alec to return.
After that, Dirk found a spot on the edge of the massive walls of the base, overlooking the entire battlefield beyond.
Now they could talk in peace.
Dirk glanced over to the two gir...

Ethan still had his duties as a Marshal, as did Ryker as a Grand Marshal. And Viola worked closely with Ethan, so she wasn’t without responsibility.
Cecilia also went with Ryker to go and find Alec, so that left Dirk and Pandora, along with Exos and Nova.
Nova stuck by her mistress, ...

Dirk’s eyes opened after an unknown amount of time. He was immediately fully alert.
The next moment, Spyte appeared on his chest, her tail flourishing as she spoke.

It was too complex to comprehend in its entirety, but somehow intuitively I completely understood how to use it.

Cecilia’s eyes narrowed as her acute vision took in the details of Dirk’s scale armor.
It appeared over his body after he was covered by a black film, the scales poking out from within the black film and a helmet simply appearing on top of his head.
The scales were small, but just big enough to be linked with rings. There were thousands of them, each one expe...
2023-03-25 06:42:54 +0000 UTC View PostMaxwell and I spoke a bit more about the expectations for the trip. It seemed straightforward, and anything else I needed to know would be spoken of at the base.
But beside that, there was another topic to discuss.
“By the way, Rayla spoke to me about Crowns. I wanted to hear your opinion on them.”
“Crowns, hm?”
He went silent in thought, formulating his words. 2023-03-22 10:05:11 +0000 UTC View Post
The front lines that Cecilia spoke of were not unlike what the dwarves had set up against the monster hordes that spewed from the Dragon Lair of Earth.
In fact, it was almost exactly the same. Except, instead of just defending against monsters, the Horizon Empire had to fight against a living wasteland.
After all, fire was always more destructive than the other elements.
