Two weeks in a warzone flew by. Lennard entered the Gate, successfully completed the battle, and closed it. The largest and oldest battlefield in the west, handled by Lennard alone. In the original story, it took three people. As the Gate closed, the surroundings began to rapidly change. Businesses catering to Awakened and knights naturally began to pack up. I, too, started preparing to leave. The day to finally depart the battlefield had arrived. Lennard was nowhere to be seen, even as the…- 50.3 K • Ongoing
"What are you doing?" His melodious voice came from above. Huh? Shariette cautiously peeked out. Their eyes met. Noxian, holding her securely with one arm supporting her back and the other beneath her knees, looked at her quizzically. …Wait, he wasn't about to throw her down for talking back?"You might accidentally drop me." She smoothly feigned innocence, as if the thought had never crossed her mind. Noxian scoffed at the claim, the woman in his arms weighing next to nothing."You're afraid of falling,…- 46.9 K • Ongoing
- "Don't forget my contribution, dear sister. If our family offered a son, they had to offer a daughter." "Stop bragging, you're ruining my mood! Sasha! Why are you so slow?!" That is, until Matthias chimed in, fueling the fire. In any case, what Blanche wanted, Blanche got. That was the law of Argen. So, by any means necessary, they would have secured Nox Rubelot. And I can’t tell her that. Shariette didn't know how to offer comfort. So, she offered the best guarantee she…

- Though she couldn't quite grasp the reason for the amusement, Shariette noticed the suspicion fade from Nixia's eyes. Nixia swallowed the remaining pill and spoke, her smile softer now. “Thank you, Shariette.” It felt like an awfully weighty gratitude for a single pill. Shariette tilted her head. “It’s just a common headache remedy.” “Ahaha, well, yes, but it’s also because of Nox.” “Nox… you mean the young lord?” “Actually, the headache…

- “You must regain them before you face the trials. By any means necessary.” The dukedom can be inherited with a single document. That’s nothing. But Rubelot…” The Duke trailed off. There was no point in saying more; they both knew it by heart. The Rubelot succession wasn't determined by birth order or lineage. Only the one who manifested the strongest power in their generation could become the heir. This was unprecedented in the family's history: an heir who had lost their powers. And it wasn't…

Was it a hallucination? Even after rubbing her eyes and looking again, it was still there. Beelzebub’s gaze was fixed on it, too. “Do you… see that?” “Yes, I see it.” The black pupils within his crimson irises constricted. He murmured softly, “You’re the key.” His eyes, shimmering with a strange light, held Ariette captive. The moment their gazes met, she froze, like a mouse before a snake. When Ariette couldn't even breathe, let alone speak, Beelzebub closed his eyes. When he…- 26.2 K • Ongoing
“So, can I just write, ‘Give me a recommendation, and I’ll join the student council’?” “That’s a bit…” See? I told you being too honest wouldn’t work. “Jade, what did you write?” “Proud new student and salutatorian of the Department of Magic, Lumina Ashford, applying for…” “…Did you really write that?” “Yep!” That’s a bit… Seeing Jade’s application suddenly relieved me of all pressure. I felt like I could just write anything. If the…- 38.6 K • Ongoing
“How dutiful. You needn’t have shared such details.” “I apologize…” “You should apologize for offering me unnecessary information.” “…” Helion’s already low self-esteem plummeted under Lowell’s imposing presence. He lowered his head and trembled. Ignoring Helion completely, Lowell turned to me and asked cheerfully, “What shall we do? I’ve introduced myself, but he doesn’t seem interested in becoming my friend.” Please don’t make that face, like a hapless new…- 53.0 K • Ongoing
- He was certainly being kind, but I doubted it was because he held any special interest in me. He was the High Priest of the Caro Temple, after all. “It sounds like there’s a story there, but I’m pleased to hear the conclusion.” “Why are you pleased, High Priest?” “Because I’m interested in you, Miss Minette.” I hadn't imagined he'd express such interest on our first meal together. “But I have no intention of marrying you, High Priest…” Absolutely not! What was…

- Chapter 16 - Suspicion They say there's no paradise at the end of an escape. How fitting that this universal truth applies even to me, someone isekai'd into a book. Here I was, face-to-face with the noble and handsome middle-aged High Priest, a delectable steak before me, yet I felt anything but happy. I wanted to cry. “Is the steak undercooked?” “No, it’s perfect.” “Would you like some wine?” “Water is fine.” “Very well. If you’re comfortable, shall we begin? I’d…
