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,…-

Train K9746 In the autumn of 2015, I boarded Train K9746 with a crumpled job notice tucked in my pocket and my childhood friend Akai beside me. We were traveling from Chengdu to Xi’an. Hard-seat tickets had been impossible to get, so we gritted our teeth and bought sleeper berths instead. I had expected the carriage to be packed with passengers, but when we stepped into our hard-sleeper compartment, I realized it was nearly empty. There were only four of us in that whole section: Akai and me, a…-

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…

Chapter 46: Arrodes’s Congratulations “Who are you?” Klein asked in a rather complicated state of calm. The lady wearing a simple robe nodded lightly. “Arianna, Servant of Concealment.” Servant of Concealment… Arianna… Klein’s gaze focused slightly. He already knew the identity of the lady before him. As a Beyonder who had started as a Nighthawk, how could the name Arianna be unfamiliar to him? The abbess of the Church of Evernight’s cloister, first among the thirteen…

Chapter 45: A Ritual Without “Response” After ending the private conversation, Klein turned The World, Gehrman Sparrow, toward The Hermit Cattleya. “Please pass a message to the Mystery Queen. I hope to meet her sometime soon and discuss certain matters. She may decide the specific time and place.” The “Mystery Queen”? So Madam Hermit represents one of the sovereigns above the Five Seas… Star Leonard was first startled, then quickly understood somewhat. What matter? The Hermit…
