Deep within the cavern, damp air hung heavy and still. Droplets of water slowly gathered at the tips of stalactites and fell with faint echoes. At the deepest part of the cave, which resembled an underground labyrinth, an old man sat upright upon a massive natural stone seat.
Though aged, Madara's figure remained unyielding and proud. The ...

2025-09-26 18:56:36 +0000 UTC View PostVivi showing up inside the rebel army camp was massive news. The kind of news that could ignite a powder keg.
For people who had lost fathers, mothers, and children because of the drought and water shortages, it didn't matter whether she had personally done anything to them. Their rage toward the royal family had burned so hot for so long ...

One billion... that was an astronomical sum.
He glanced briefly at the people around him, and the world seemed to spin. That meant that, out of the more than twenty of them, at most only five could survive?
But soon,...

Aoki did not answer Shiratori's question, but asked back instead. Although the boy before him had saved his life, he couldn't just let down his guard so easily.
What if it was the enemy's scheme?
The chance was slim, but he couldn't ignore it just because the probability was low.
Shiratori looked straight a...
