Chapter 232 - Sweet Summer

“Wendy and I ran a background check on him. After Luxore, he reappeared as Cain. In some town, he killed a guy in broad daylight and killed the rest of his pursuers. He’s a cold-blooded murderer. Freya almost got him but he escaped and stayed in the shadows ever since… until now. Viers Isuel should be apprehended immediately!”

Bryan smacked the wanted poster of Viers on the table.

“Ah, so that’s why I thought this guy looks familiar. To think he’s the kid from back t...

Chapter 231 - On A Day of Wintry Cold

What a pity.

The scene was enacted without the emotional weight behind it. There was no love between Rose and Viers. Not even a romantic inclination on both sides. They only had one proper meeting before; this was their second.

If it was as epic as in the movie, it should be about a 3% Horizon increase. Instead, I only gain 0,7%

Viers’ Horizon Aspect would become stronger every time he experienced something new. The greater the impact and importance of th...

Chapter 230

“Got him!” Bryan shouted while a stream of blood sprayed from Viers’ neck.

Viers hated the boisterous youth the most out of his four opponents but the guy's attack power was certainly top-tier. He reacted in time to not have his entire neck cut but the dual-wielder managed to cut an artery, despite the protection from the Unreality Field and Farley-Viers’ combined defenses.

The Silver Legion’s joy was short-lived.

“He’s healing!”

“A regenerator!” 2022-05-17 20:06:56 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 229 - Unwanted Guests

“We are too late.”

A cloaked person bent down and touched the ground. There were signs of battle in this place, the place where Ciel struck down an assassin. Viers had just left a short while ago.

“No blood trail… Can you still track her?” Another assassin asked.

“I can try to sniff the poison’s trail but someone has tampered with the scene. It will take more time.”

“Then leave it,” the leader said. “We’ll use the Silver Legion as our hunting do...

Chapter 228 - Officer, This Isn't What It Looks Like

Rose sighed while looking at the shadow of the Wright family’s mansion. The night’s shroud of the masterfully built huge residence was like a veil clouding the mystery of those who lived there.

They insisted they didn't know Paina… Is Miss Pinaca just a lookalike after all?

“See June? That's the look of someone in love,” Conn elbowed June while whispering.

“Have some delicacy, you big buffoon!” June slapped the back of Conn’s head.

“Rose, lea...

Chapter 227 - 3000 Leagues in Search of Father

In games, new areas represent new opportunities. As a player, Viers wanted to explore, discover new things, amass resources, find rare equipment, and gain all sorts of power-ups. Although there was something unpleasant about Valkut’s atmosphere, this place was not an exception.

Viers planned to stay for some time since he had made the long trip to get here. The two days of politely soul searching other people’s minds had such a purpose besides finding out about House Wright’s circ...

Chapter 226 - Premonition

“Milady,” Russ sounded delighted with a hint of melancholy at the same time. “My memory cannot accurately capture your beauty. You become increasingly prettier every time we meet… Ah, how careless of me. Let me first present you with a gift.”

The girl with the same face as Paina aside, Viers spurred into action once Russ showed the Auspicious Butterfly in a resin. That luck-raising item was even stronger than his mummy finger.

“Bow of Four Beast,” Viers loosed his fi...

Chapter 225 - Meeting the Locals

Viers thought to snatch the bottle and peace out because he wasn't in the mood to waste time in the drama but he stopped himself after seeing the interlocutor’s face.

Sankar!

Viers recognized the Underbelly’s big dog from Ditan’s memories. Viers did not sense the Level 4 because he was hiding his aura. The man was stronger than him.

Viers couldn't sense Sankar’s cultivation let alone the seller, but he eagerly sold the bath oil to the one that offered double...

Chapter 224 - Flea Market

“Haaah… slow night,” a man grumbled while smoking from his pipe in a dead-end alley.

Then two newcomers approached. The man inspected them from head to toe, but did not make it obvious. In his occupation, the ability to determine what kind of man he was dealing with was essential.

One was a cloaked man, face partially hidden, but he looked to still be in his teens, confident gait. The other was a beggar kid that he’d seen often down in the Underbelly.

“That’s the...

Chapter 223 - New Land's Redemption

Viers was thinking about the nature of helping.

Before Orca-Viers' touchdown on the closest coast to Valkut city, he saved a ship in the process. The ship was contending with a sea monster and things looked bleak for the sailors. As a mighty predator of the seas, Viers who had evolved his Devadom Orca to Rank 3 simply needed to flex his hostility for a bit and the sea monster ran away panicking.

He kept himself underwater and the sailors didn't know what happened. There was no los...

Chapter 222 - New Land's Encounter

This is why I fear going to places with high-level Pathseekers. To be implicated in their fights. I was like a bird in a hurricane.

That was what Viers thought when he opened his eyes and saw the ceiling of his safe house.

This was Viers’ Picture Room. People in this world categorized this kind of item as Pocket Habitats. The principle was the same as inventory items. Pathseekers used those as camps and safe houses.

It was crazy rare and expensive.

Viers bou...

Chapter 221 - New Land's Welcome

A man and a beast were gauging each other on a sandy beach.

“Futon, I choose you!”

A flash of light came out from Viers’ left chest, from a white badge that was pinned on his clothes.

“Fuu!”

A super-duper fluffy cloud elemental came out wearing his game-face, but it only made him look more adorable.

The enormous Rank 2 hermit crab monster the size of a tiger took it as a sign of battle and used his pincers to crush Futon.

Futon dodged in the air a...

Chapter 220 - Convergence of Fates

The sound of waves.

On the beach, a young boy washed ashore. A bird pecked his hand and woke him from slumber.

He gasped as if waking up from a nightmare.

Where’s the monster? Where am I?

The last thing he remembered was fighting a black and white fish.

…What happened?

By the looks of it, he seemed to have fallen from the ship and was carried here by the current. The Skull Basher was nearby. How curious that the heavy hammer didn't sin...

Chapter 219 - The Cloud and the Flame

Viers was sitting with his legs crossed. A globe of light was floating in front of him. Hundreds of little lights flowed from the globe into Viers’ head until the globe lost its luster and disappeared.

“Phew… It’s finally done.”

Viers put a hand on his head. Absorbing Aletro’s soul attainment always gave him a headache.

The giant sunflowers that acted as the replacement for the sun in the Biome were shining with the intensity of dusk and still gradually fading. T...

Chapter 218 - Green, Red, and Sort of Blue

“There’s nothing here!!” Jaime Sigley, Horseman War of the Gloomsiders, shouted to the sky. “You’ve led us on a wild goose chase!”

“Gahahaha! Pure white earth and unlimited sky as far as the eyes can see! How wonderful,” Tanael happily laughed.

“Tanael-sama, why are you so insistent on going this far out? Anne, Oscar and the others didn't even try. There are plenty of precious resources near the World Tree,” Sakuya, Horseman Famine, searched around for treasure...

Interlude - The Least

[And this is the last of the interludes. Hope you enjoy the chapter.]

“One thing that I like about being a ghost is that I can eat delicious food as much as I want without getting fat,” Farley said before putting a spoon in her mouth. “How is it, Gwen? You like it?”

“Mmm!” Gwen nodded with her mouth full. “Incredibly tasty!”

“I’ve never been a gourmet but Viers might turn me into one if he keeps giving us food this delicious,” Clarissa added.

The ...

Interlude - The Apprentice

In an encampment outside of the Regidana city, there was a gathering of people. From their weapons and armors, anyone could see that they were adventurers. A group of four had just arrived.

“Alright, looks like we’re all here,” a respectable-looking man in his middle thirties said. “My name is Torha, the leader of this punitive force. You all know why you’re here but I’ll clarify it once more. Our mission is to defeat the marauding bandit gang that named themselves the Eight...

Interlude - The Kunoichi (2)

How she met the Matriarch was unexpected. While she was awake, she found herself in a wasteland. Sakuya wasn't asleep or unconscious in any way. One moment she was in her house, another moment she was here. In that barren red wasteland without a single blade of grass, was a simple hut.

Sakuya knew her life and death were no longer in her hands. Cold sweat was formed and her hands were trembling.

“Don't be nervous, child. Come in.”

Sakuya hardened her will and pushed the ...

Interlude - The Kunoichi (1)

In the northeastern area of the Zamrud Archipelago, there was a village deep in the wilderness, surrounded by thick forest.

Shining sun overhead, wooden houses, paddy fields, children chasing summer beetles, an elderly playing a game of Go with his neighbor, a peaceful village.

A black-haired young girl who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old was walking with small steps from outside of the village. Not only because of her white kimono that reached her ankles and ...

Chapter 217 - Change of Seasons

“Delicious! Muuuuh~ Deliciousssss!”

Dia was having a double-combo meal. Her leg-roots were draining nutrients from the human corpses while she was greedily eating the World Tree Essence Sap.

Green Scorpion Fajrin's aim in the Book World was this. Viers couldn't prevent him from getting it but he took a bunch for himself. He had a barrel’s worth of this green jelly-like substance. He didn't give it all to Dia, just a bowl’s worth at first to determine its effect on his prec...

Chapter 216 - Opportunities from Problems

This time, Viers changed things up and meditated in the money pile. He was relishing in the sensation of being buried neck-deep in valuables, something that he always dreamt of in the previous world. It pleased him so much that Viers was having a zen moment.

But he admitted that it was a bit embarrassing so he cut off the feed of Viers Channel from Farley and the others.

After his Advancement to Level 3, his Intio was empty and once again needed to be filled with mana bef...

Chapter 215 - Great Harvest (2)

Viers and Dia went to a messy assortment of stuff that came from around forty storage items. It was the scene of a plane crash, its cargo was strewn all over the ground. Viers had anticipated this so he put down the array on a grass field as wide as a basketball court.

“Howaaaah… So much stuff I’ve never seen before,” Dia was in awe looking at the small mountain of precious and useless items alike. Weapons, clothes, gold, furniture, food, corpses, gems, accessories, all were mix...

Chapter 215 - Great Harvest (1)

While Arsène and Boram were defending Fort Mercator, Viers was as busy as a bee on caffeine.

Increasing his soul attainment was the first priority. Every day Viers tried to absorb as much as he could, as best as he could, but it was work done in months not days. While absorbing, the headache gradually became more intense. Viers knew his limits and stopped to do something else.

Although he had Mystic Star Shroud, Viers kept using his Insignificant Fate Arte. He was very meticulous...

Chapter 214 - Called Out and Award

While Boram was meeting the doc -or healer- Arsène met up with the gang.

“Ahaha, you really saved us,” Bruce was in a bed and his head was bandaged but he greeted Arsène with a light mood. The other members had briefed him about what happened. “We won't forget this favor.”

“...Thanks,” Will the skinny scout who was also on a bed beside Bruce thanked the knight-helmeted Arsène. Although he seemed a bit down.

“It’s fine. As fellow adventurers, helping each o...

Chapter 213 - Weakness and Strength

The news that the war with the merfolk had ended spread throughout the ranks. The officials said that an accord had been reached with the underwater kingdom. The end of conflict after the assault on the tenth day was welcomed with tremendous jubilation.

After laying the injured members of the Rising Fortune at the infirmary and not finding Boram there, Arsène once again went to gaze at the sea. It was the same spot where he talked with Boram yesterday at sunset. The sea and sky were da...

Chapter 212 - Refusing and Saving

Boram felt something strange.

His master was watching the sunset without his helmet on, letting the sea breeze touch his face through the bandages. His master didn't need to hide his disfigured face anymore but he still usually kept his face covered when he went outside. The sight of his back gave off a different impression than usual.

“Master Avel, is there something wrong? You seem awfully… tense,” he asked as delicately as possible.

“...How’s your wound from yes...

Chapter 211 - Hypnosis and Fishwar

“Can you hear me?”

“...Yes.”

“Tell me your name.”

“...Avel of Javia.”

“Tell me your real name,” the Level 4 commanded.

The fact that Arsène didn't realize when the man sneaked into their sleeping quarters and put him and the group under a spell showed the difference in power between them. The mind Arte induced the target to be highly susceptible. Arsène was in a vulnerable state, his mind primed to answer any question truthfully. 2022-03-15 10:10:57 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 210 - Duel and Thirst

On the balcony of Fort Mercator, a man was looking at the aftermath of the night raid while smoking. He didn't turn around despite being aware someone was approaching from behind.

“Inspector Insen,” the new arrival greeted.

“Commander Goudy,” the smoking man returned the courtesy. “Rough night.”

“This is but the prelude… My thanks.”

Insen offered a cigar to the fort commander which he took. The night was quiet with calm ocean winds. Hard to connect wi...

Chapter 209 - Hearsay and Comparison

“Since we’ll be fighting together, introductions are in order. I’m Bruce, a wind swordsman,” the youth said. “The expressional skinny guy over there that is talking with the aide is our group’s smoke user scout, Will. Norman here has been an adventurer for over a decade, a veteran defensive fighter with a matching element to boot, ice. There’s Sandra, our mage, careful to critique her cooking cause she will give you a Rock Crush if she doesn't like what she’s hearing.”
