My blood ran cold in my veins.
A body slammed thud from the skies, uninterrupted by all. As the Matriarch's body fell, a shockwave spread through the area. The wind slapped against my face. Lilian fell to her knees beside me, while I cursed under my breath.
Everyone saw what happened. Nobody could accept it. Even our foes, the other vampires f...
2024-08-30 15:32:05 +0000 UTC View PostThe faint glow of the hidden chamber flickered softly, causing the shadows to move along with my quick steps. The Demonic Cup grew heavier in my grasp, at least I felt like it did, as I moved further down; its sinister heat penetrated my skin.
My mind kept replaying the encounter with Munera Obsidian. Her grip and her words s...
2024-08-30 15:31:12 +0000 UTC View PostYou know that sensation when a gun was to be suddenly aimed at you? It didn’t matter how much you could deadlift or how hard you could punch—because you’d realize in that moment, death was inevitable. That was exactly how I felt right now.
Munera Obsidian stepped forward and said, "Heh," in a low, somewhat purring voice. I r...
2024-08-30 15:28:54 +0000 UTC View PostI didn’t want to come. But I had a Trump Card up my sleeves, the Skill I received after merging Heavenly Demon God Art with a Skill provided by the System.
[‘True Demon God Art: The Temporal Overdraft’ has been unlocked].
It came with some severe cost, far too potent to use in most situations, but it might end up savi...

Amelia blasted from the city's edge and toward the Baron’s mansion. Her brows were knitted together, as she sensed the presence of a dormant beast coming from the castle.
At this rate, she noted in her head, this city's done for.
Not that the city of Lockdown was any good right now. Be...
2024-08-30 15:24:41 +0000 UTC View PostI couldn't take chances, so I rushed forward first. I had to use surprise to my advantage, and I had to do that discreetly.
I couldn't try my luck with the strongest yet, in case she dodged or blocked. So, I blitzed in front of the weakest one.
He was startled, having turned his head at the other vampire to give him a disgusted look, and ...
2024-08-30 15:22:07 +0000 UTC View PostAfter dropping the Baron at the city gate, from where he took a carriage and left, the rest of us reached the inn. Sir Carlos led us to his room.
In the meantime, Sir Lucas went to the inn owner to ask for a whiteboard or blackboard if they had any. Soon, three of us from Romer sat, facing the fake Baroness of Lockdarn, as she stood bes...
2024-08-30 15:21:06 +0000 UTC View PostHeavy boots, made out of leather and bones of a Flame Ape, clattered against the floor one after the other. Ralian made her way to the Matriarch's chamber, her daughter following suit with a worried expression.
“Is the news true?” She walked through the already open door and paused as she looked inside.
“...It seems it is,” h...
2024-08-30 15:17:34 +0000 UTC View PostRalian sat down with a sigh, having returned from the Matriarch’s chamber with a heavy mind. She hoped things would get better, but they were far from it.
When she poured herself a cup of herbal tea, the door clicked with knocks. She looked up at it, her sense of smell had already recognized who it was, and she nodded. “Come in.”
Th...
2024-08-30 15:12:44 +0000 UTC View Post“DAMN.” Rony wowed at the scene as he sat up on his bed. He quickly ran to the door, peeking his head out of it.
“Huh, what happened? What are you looking at?” Tyrone ran to join him, and his eyes widened.
It was nighttime, and they were preparing to sleep in the guest house they were staying at. They had one small room g...
2024-08-30 15:10:58 +0000 UTC View PostThe evening sky gradually darkened as the campfire crackled softly, casting a warm glow on the faces of the trainee knights and the Vice Captain, Sir Lucas. Carlos stood tall, his eyes scanning the area as the trainees finished their dinner. The day had been long, but their travel had gone smoothly so far, with no unexpected delays or i...
2024-08-30 15:06:23 +0000 UTC View PostBefore I knew it, sunlight was peeking through the window. My entire body ached, and there was a very tiny gap in my spirit, my Qi Core.
All night long, I’ve been circulating my Qi in two different directions inside my Core; it was a time-consuming and painful task.
My Qi channels burnt.

I needed to reach that at least before I left for the Waybound Academy. On paper, you could enroll as long as you’re Level 15, but I wanted to be specially prepared. In the Academy, the real enemies were not Level 15 students, after all; demons, corrupted professors, terrorists, and many other insa...
2024-08-30 14:54:35 +0000 UTC View PostMy parents were quite ashamed, understandably so. Any noble whose house got trespassed by a thief would be ashamed, moreover when their child almost lost their life to the said thief.
The knights and guards were reprimanded harshly. The guards directly responsible for this overlook were fired, and new guards were placed in their place. T...
2024-08-30 14:50:09 +0000 UTC View PostI guess this was often the solution in medieval times for noble boys who couldn't control their pants. It felt quite annoying to face it personally, especially when it's not even me who brought this upon myself.
A whole life waited for me ahead. Unlike in my previous life, where I had given up on life and wasted away on energy drinks ...
2024-08-30 14:48:42 +0000 UTC View PostAfter getting past the initial shock and a bit of rage, I took a long look at the reward instead.
“Cosmic Level Wish? What does that mean? Dominion over the World Core, too.”
So if I wanted to become a God or something, it'd make me? If I want to go back to my world, it'll allow it? Hmm, if I wanted to become, let's say...

Rain drizzled from the sky. It was a dark day.
My Ferrari came to a stop as I stepped out, the soft pitter-patter of rain hitting the sleek, red surface. The wet reflection i...
