“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…- 18.7 K • Ongoing
- Chapter 7 - Interest I arrived far earlier than our appointed time. “You’re late.” Lowell was already in the Oracle’s Chamber, waiting. He wore the same monochrome attire as always, his posture relaxed. He looked exactly the same as the last time I saw him. It was almost as if the events of that day had been a delusion. His unchanged demeanor made me feel like a fool. “Lowell’s just early.” I’d intended to greet him pleasantly, masking my displeasure, since it had been a while…

We stared at each other for a long moment before quietly slipping out of the party. We made our way to his room on the top floor of the building. The moment the door opened, we fell onto the bed, wrapped in each other's arms. He was on top of me, looking down like a predator. He still wore that charming mask, but I knew. This man was an apex predator. I saw the picture-perfect muscles beneath his shirt, half-torn in his haste to remove it. His lightly tanned skin glowed enticingly in the…- 17.1 K • Ongoing
- “Huh?” Nina’s sudden question caught me off guard. Was Lennard this popular? “He’s always on the battlefield, so we only hear rumors about his looks. What was he like in person?” “He is handsome.” He was breathtakingly handsome. His arrogant demeanor was as cold as an ice prince, but it only enhanced his aloof attractiveness. However, I much preferred the gray rabbit Lennard who had been kind to me. I preferred his gentle, upright nature and those blue eyes that saw only…

- Lennard struggled to pull his hand from mine. He looked quite angry. But was this really the time for such concerns? I firmly held on. “So, what do I need to do?” I looked at Benedict. He hesitated for a moment before explaining. “First, close your eyes.” As I closed my eyes, the heat radiating from Lennard’s hand felt even more intense. “Imagine you’re absorbing the heat emanating from Lennard’s body.” Still clutching his hand, I imagined the heat flowing into me.…

Shariette had inherited her mother’s striking features and emerald green eyes, features Blanche abhorred and constantly concealed with magical tools. “Now, wake up, customer.” Shariette spritzed Noxian with a different spray bottle than before. His eyelids twitched. “Customer, the sleeping draugh-” Before Shariette could finish her prepared line, the world turned upside down. “…!” Squawk! In the blink of an eye, Noxian had flipped her onto her back,…- 18.9 K • Ongoing
- More accurately, it was a mutated monster capable of deflecting most physical attacks. The knights reacted as trained, but a second bear emerging from the rear was unexpected. “Shariette!” Noxian launched a wave of sword energy, but before it could connect, the enormous bear collapsed. Everyone’s gaze shifted to the woman, still holding one arm outstretched. In her hand was… “A spray bottle?” “A… watering can?” As the knights murmured in confusion, Noxian strode past the…

- “...Damn it, I knew it.” A shiver ran down Shariette’s spine, leaving her cold. Dismembered and displayed on the castle walls… The image flashed vividly in her mind—her head and limbs dangling from the ramparts. A little sign would probably read: Arjen’s Rat, A Traitor’s End. “Absolutely, positively… I cannot get caught.” Before her precarious situation was discovered, she had to find a way to break this cursed predicament. And then, run. Shariette made up her mind. From today…

On the princess's fourth birthday, the Emperor whispered, "My child, never tell anyone about the numbers and symbols on their palms." The princess nodded. She kept her ability secret until she could fully understand it. Time passed, and the princess, now the Crown Prince, received her education, and her judgment matured. On her tenth birthday, while traveling incognito to a city of mages, she spoke the numbers for the first time since she was four. “Father, that child… their number is…- 9.1 K • Ongoing
- “That’s wonderful, Helion! Isn’t it wonderful that Helion is better, Raphaerd?” “What do I care? I don’t understand why you’re seeking my agreement.” Raphaerd adjusted his glasses with a huff. “Helion must be troubled, with everyone he encounters turning out this way…” “What was that? I couldn’t quite hear you.” “It was nothing. Just thinking aloud.” Several days had passed since my encounter with Lowell. Nothing had happened between Helion and Lowell. Not…
