The cloudy sky cast a dreary atmosphere over the abandoned city. As Felicia predicted, even though we mimicked their appearances, once we got within ten meters, one of them started getting closer, forcing us to kill it. When we killed one, the others began to swarm us. Thankfully, it was in the outer zones, so they only brought ten phantasmic ghouls.
"It's not working…" I muttered. None of the Anathema were fooled.
"This kind of disguise only works on humans, who rely on ...

"Shit! We can't do this. There are too many monsters!" Hellhound said as he warped back to our defensive position after his fifth kill. Twenty more salamanders were still around, slowly encroaching on us.
"Is using warp exhausting?" I asked him.
"Yeah. You get tired when using mana too, right?"
"Sort of," I answered noncommittally. This was definitely caused by a spawner. We shouldn't attack from the front like this; there would be no end to them. "The three musketeer...

"Yuri!" bunches of Yuri came at me. However, they weren't astral shifted. They weren't Black Lily but Yuri Shirayuki.
"I was supposed to be asleep. Where am I?" I asked my clones, who were calling me incessantly.
"We unsummoned ourselves and arrived here," my clones answered.
"Are you going to accompany me in my dreams too?" I sighed. The clones shrugged. However, one of the clones rose from the floor, her eyes stone cold.

A week later, we arrived at Sami, a commercial hub for Elderan. A wooden gate wall contrasted with the paved road leading to it. Sami was closer to the capital, and it really showed by the number of lamps that were lit during the night. The streetlamps stayed on all night. I wondered how many mages were needed to keep these lamps burning. If I recall correctly, a low-level mage could only maintain three or four lamps during the night.
"What a waste…" I muttered as I stared at t...

I am determined to eradicate this usurpation. The curse seed has progressed far but thin. The Anathema I saw were no higher than level 30, but there were many of them, and they encompassed several kilometers.
"Plan?"
"Many of them didn't come toward us. Why?"
"Their coordination radius is about 500 meters. Only Anathema within this radius will come to you. Warning, this is not a sure thing. But from basic anathema behavior, this is the most likely conclusion."<...

The sky was red in the dream. Eli walked to a pedestal, placing Dregorn's head on it. Mountains of corpses were strewn across the dreamscape. She looked forlorn, as if she were in a haze.
"Oh. Welcome."
"Regretting your decisions?" I teased her. Her expression looked sad when she placed Dregorn's head. Unlike other corpses which were strewn on the ground, Dregorn's head seemed special to her. Does this mean her quest for vengeance finally begins? Or ended?
"Hm… I'm ...

"Who are you?" The guard stood imposingly before me.
"I am a traveler from Althemer," I told the gate guard.
"Hm? Althemer?" He frowned. "Why are you here?"
"We just signed a peace treaty, so I thought it would be okay to travel." I considered getting inside discreetly, but it would be troubling if they had unique identification for this fort, so I opted to be honest.

The ship departed with my clone on board as I hid myself underwater. After swimming for a bit, I found a reef to sit on. Some Anathema could swim, but none chose to pursue me, knowing that water would weaken them. Through my clone's eyes, I watched Shining, Serene, and the rest of my group.
I could go back. I could simply activate my horcrux and return to my friends. However, Tanaka's face haunted me. I had betrayed them. They would be laid off from Shirayuki. But if I had refuse...

A soldier flew past me as I looked for the source of the commotion. Samuel was defending Dregorn, blowing one soldier after another away. All the soldiers battling him were still alive.
"Gyah!" I grabbed one soldier with my tentacle and threw him away from Dregorn. He was my prey; I needed to interrogate him. Seeing me arrive on the scene, the assassins fled. They knew they couldn't win anymore, not that they ever had any chance of defeating Samuel.

"Mom, I'm going to school. See you." I waved goodbye to my mom, who laid down watching TV lazily all day on the floor. She waved back absentmindedly, her eyes vacant and glued to the screen. Ever since my dad died, she became so estranged. My dad wasn't anything special. He worked a typical job as a janitor at Shirayuki Group but died of a heart attack. My older brother lounged on the floor behind her, equally disengaged.
Mom tried to find work soon after but to no avail. She did...

"The citizens are questioning why we haven't activated the shelter barrier yet," the mayor asked. Now that the anathema had been culled, it was time for discussion. "I heard from our guardians there are some risks involved with the barrier?"
"Yes. It's about the barrier. It can be penetrated by a sufficiently high-level anathema," Serene explained. We have four high-capacity emergency barriers to cover the entire city's four sides, and yet w...

When I was a kid, I dreamed of becoming a Magical Guardian and protecting my parents. That dream was shared by my four friends. Of course, becoming a Magical Guardian was rarer than winning the lottery; the notion of one of us becoming a Guardian was next to impossible, let alone all of us becoming Guardians. It was a dream we often talked about for fun. I, Kim Yan, Jack, Lucky, and Xiao Lu frequently imagined ourselves donning suits and helmets to ...

When the sun came up, I realized that I still had school and could only visit Dregorn late at night. As usual, Claire looked at me warily during our school day. She looked left and right before leaving, as if she was anticipating an assassination attempt. Now that I had confirmed her powers, there was no way I would meddle with her.

The day after that incident, tensions were sky-high. Claire and I avoided each other. Her eyes always looked at me with caution. And rightly so. I couldn't pull back either. I needed to find some sort of opportunity in the castle. I had to interrogate or assassinate Dregorn.

I never thought Elidranthia would become my enemy. I always had this power—the power to turn back time. Five years from now, an army comprised of people and demons from the central continents will conquer this land. Everyone will be enslaved. To avoid that fate, a light mage blessed by the sun prayed for intervention. As she sacrificed herself to the comet that shone on that day, she laid a curse upon me. Not a curse, but a blessing.
