One Hunt After Another Why was the water glowing? Why was my skin so dry? Were the beads of sweat running down my face exploding when they touched the bath? I rolled over and retched. Spit and stomach acid splashed when they hit the water. No. This was wrong. I had to get out. My limbs were as weak as boiled noodles. I crawled out of the “bathtub” that had nearly killed me and tripped over a pair of heavy iron boots. I looked up. Thick plates of black-and-red metal. An…-

The New Skill: Force Sense With the death of that horrifying giant bird, my power rose again. It was the third time since the battle with the mutant plant monster. I began to suspect that gaining more points might not depend only on killing monsters. Perhaps pushing my own abilities to their limits helped too. Whatever the truth, I put my attribute points into Spirit so I could adjust to the unexpected increase in Strength. For my abilities, I spent three points to patch a glaring weakness in my…

The City Is Sealed On a stretch of grassland in the western outskirts, a small convoy lay scattered and overturned. They must have been fleeing. Then something had ended their attempt to escape the affected area. The lead truck had been struck from above. A huge hole had been blown through its roof, most of the chassis torn apart. The wheels and part of the engine block still held together, but they were blackened by smoke and half melted. The car behind it had been crushed by the same blast.…

The Beginning of the Invasion A week ago, in the small hours before dawn, disaster arrived while everyone was still asleep. At first, there was only fog. A thick, unnatural fog swallowed the entire city. Communications died. San Guang City became the first beachhead of an invasion from another world. Then the portals opened. They appeared everywhere, great and small, and from them came every nightmare that had ever found a shape: zombies, man-eating plants, winged little devils, iron birds,…

Chapter 52: Establishing Contact Qonas Kilgor, whose eyes were deep blue, nearly black, and whose hair was cropped shorter than was common among high-ranking figures, held a glass of champagne as he walked before Dwayne Dantès. Smiling slightly, he said, “Your luck today was truly excellent, and you were filled with courage.” If you’re talking about how I usually folded immediately after receiving a Bribe, preferring to lose the blind, that was not luck, but knowledge… As for the rest,…-

Chapter 51: “God of Gambling” Dwayne The core rules of Texas hold ’em were very simple: using one’s two hole cards and the five community cards, one selected any five to form a hand. Whoever had the higher hand won. The community cards were dealt in three rounds: three cards in the first round, one in the second, and one in the third. In each round, players could bet, call, or raise until no one raised further, or until only one person remained without folding. Klein toyed with the chips in…

Chapter 50: Card Game Upon entering the East Balam Veterans Club, Klein had just handed his cane and hat to his personal valet, Enuni, when he saw Colonel Calvin of the Loen Ministry of Defense standing in the hall with a cup of red wine, dressed in an army uniform. This donkey-faced officer revealed a smile and lifted his cup toward Dwayne Dantès. “Long time no see.” “It has indeed been some time.” Klein walked over with a smile. Colonel Calvin immediately extended his right…

Chapter 49: “Conjoined Person” Emlyn glanced at Ian, raised a hand, pinched the tip of his nose, and laughed softly. “Looks like you don’t understand. Fine. To describe it more simply, help me gather intelligence on foreigners from the Southern Continent—especially those from the Star Plateau and the Pas River Valley.” “What specific kind of intelligence? There are quite a few pure-blooded Southern Continent people in Backlund, and those with corresponding bloodlines can be seen even…

Chapter 48: Prelude At 7 Pinstor Street, Leonard, who had specifically returned home to attend the Tarot Gathering, was just about to go out to the underground area of Saint Samuel Cathedral to read files in preparation for soothing spirits that night when his vision suddenly blurred. He saw the messenger wearing a gloomy, complicated long dress and holding four blond-haired, red-eyed heads. As a Requiemer, he could already directly see spirit-type creatures. After receiving the letter Klein had…

Chapter 47: Another Possibility Letting the spirit body receive the protection of a “dream,” delaying the corrosion of the dangerous night… This is just like in the ruins of the battle of gods, where one must sleep when night falls… Also, the power of the Forsaken Land of the Gods should not be under the Goddess’s control. If one vanishes into the darkness there, one definitely will not enter the foggy town… Then where would it point? Or perhaps one remains in place, yet can no longer…
