“Hah…” I sighed for the umpteenth time while looking at my status screen as I walked toward my seinjet from school. The reward hadn’t cashed in yet. It still showed the pending status.

Eli was horrified at the sight. It reminded her of a field hospital in a warzone. Soldiers were bandaged from head to toe. ...

“Enemy attack! They’re besieging us!”
“Shit! The back gate was destroyed when we took this town. We can’t hold this position—we should retreat,” the general said, but Altair disagreed.

“Yes. We have a divine...

Now that Litmus’ coalition army had a real symbiote user, the army’s confidence rose to unprecedented heights. The captains searched for signs of enemy symbiote users, but none had appeared on the battlefield so far.

Kouki, Hain, and Sanders scouted the surroundings while James waited back at the star tower, making sure the citizens did not see him in the flesh. James frowned as he watched the group leave through the main door, the same one he had struggled with earlier.

“What kind of city has caves tunneling straight into it?” James sighed. “Well, not the strangest dungeon I’ve encountered.”
“But this might be t...

“Yes. Take the legs from the man with the shield.” James nodded. Blac...

Despite wearing a robe, he carried a greatsword on his shoulder. A cloak with a crest depicting a blue sun draped across his back.
“Chase him! He killed our brothers!”

2025-08-15 23:01:25 +0000 UTC View PostJames had explored the forest and, true to Andrew’s words, there was no portal to the next floor. This floor was smaller than the previous one, and most of its space was taken up by the city, leaving few places to search. James could only sigh as he strolled around the headquarters, waiting for Andrew to return with good news. He stared off in...

An hour later, they gather...

Back when he first tackled this dungeon, all his crew members were pure humans. Anyone who attacked the knights would be killed on the spot, so he had never been hostile toward them.

He then stabbed three arrows into the ground as a marker. It would take some time for Andrew to arrive—if he could read the message—and James didn’t want to stay idle in the meantime.
After scouting the surroundings, he...

A bright flame lit up around James. He immediately doused himself in fire.
[The infection has been sterilized.]
“Shit,” James cursed. Every nook and cranny of the cave was infected with black ooze. Some of it had dripped onto his unprotected head, which caused the infection.
“They’re still attacking? Why?” Count Evesys was confused. He had written letter after letter to all his relatives about the movements of Litmus’s armies. But, typical of Latvin’s nobility, they acted obsequiously when Count Evesys was at the top, only to abandon him once he fell from grace.
And so, none replied to Evesys’s ple...
