VOLUME 8: CHAPTER 13
Calisto Kelvin lay in bed inside his room in the Kelvin Family’s estate in the capital. Bottles of liquor were scattered on the carpeted floor. His hair was disheveled as he absent-mindedly stared at the ceiling.
The past few weeks had been the worst days of his life. He’d never felt so hopeless and insignificant before. Although ...

Again, thank you to everyone who stayed.

Sorry for disappearing for quite some time. Real life has really been busy lately.
I'll be back on the first week of November. I should have free time once October ends.
As for the Webcomic, I decided to redo everything, hence the lack of uploads on this Patreon page.

The members of the Arzomos Tribe found the idea interesting. Serving under Evander Alaester in the guise of a human did not sound so bad. With this, it would be easy even for demons like them to explore the human land.

Become the King of the nation.
Lark fell silent as he carefully considered His Majesty’s offer.
He’d been offered similar positions before, back in previous life. Back then, he’d been offered to rule over some of the annexed nations of the Magic Empire – and he refused every single time.
But this time was different. 2021-03-29 08:10:58 +0000 UTC View Post

Through the senses he shared with the middle-ranking nest, Plagas felt the massive clumps of mana headed his way.
The middle-ranking nest, along with the thousands of parasitic demons marching under its command, felt comparably insignificant when compared to it.

Hello. Real life has been extremely busy lately. With hardly six hours of sleep every day, I’m no longer capable of committing to the current schedule of the novel.

Although they’d been almost petrified by fear, the royal guards still formed a defensive formation around King Alvis. Their hands were trembling as they held their swords, their legs wobbling and their faces drained of all color.

Normally, it would take more than a month for someone to arrive from the Capital to Blackstone Town. The roads leading from one city to another were frequently winding, built to circumvent the monster-infested territories in the Kingdom.
