“They are late.” Freya frowned as the sun climbed higher and higher in the sky. The convoy that brought the exiles was supposed to arrive at dawn, but all we could see in the harbor was empty sea. As Freya anxiously looked for any sign of the ferry that brought her father, I dispatched some of my clones out into the Darklands, trying to find some more Anathema.
Meanwhile, Felicia and I browsed my class and skills.
“Did you notice Freya was raising her stats when she ...
[Congratulations. You have obtained a Gliding Wing.]
[Congratulations. You have obtained Glock 22.]
“Yes! A gun!!” the soldiers cheered when they saw the contents of the chest James opened. As usual, James had unlocked them with the ritual he always performed.
“Yes, yes. You can have the gun,” James sighed as he inspected the metal wing from the other chest. He already had a bow skill, so he wasn’t interested in firearms—especially since ammunition was far mo...
2025-06-18 16:50:10 +0000 UTC View Post“It’s safe,” James called to his henchmen from the portal. As the men rushed back through, James quickly went to the place where his radar pointed. But as expected, it led him to a cliff.
“Sir… should we do that parachute thingies again?” one soldier asked as he peered over the edge.
“Yeah, we should,” James nodded. He had a sense that this was not the correct way to proceed on this floor.
A dungeon shouldn’t give an impossible challenge to the survi...
2025-06-18 14:51:13 +0000 UTC View Post“Your dick feels so good, your majesty…” Leina, the seventh princess of Vertia, said as she serviced the king. She was now the official harem of the court. She was lying, of course. All of her words were carefully crafted to bring the sense of conquest and satisfaction to the king. To earn his favor.
When the kingdom of Latvin attacked, Leina was already an outcast among the royalty. When the first symbiote user was slain by Jonathan, Vertia gave Latvin Leina as a pet...
2025-06-18 13:31:46 +0000 UTC View PostAs Alicia began to calm down, a scene suddenly flashed in her mind.
The most iconic moment in the novel The Reincarnated Villainess Wanted Friends was undoubtedly the one where Elidranthia slaughtered a gang of bandits in the middle of the street.
Alicia had forgotten exactly why the bandits were there at the time. She’d assumed they were trying to kidnap Alicia—that was her vague recollection, anyway.
But then, a realization struck her.
This time, her two b...
2025-06-15 05:47:53 +0000 UTC View Post“Father!” Eli yelled.
“Eli, that's not how a lady should behave,” Count Shadowstep frowned.
Eli had had enough of playing pretend. She had to make her stand now.
“I couldn't care less about that! You knew you shouldn't have done this, right? How could you let John sell his daughter to you?!” Elidranthia shouted. Her glare fixed on her father. Even Rodrique was taken aback.
“That's not your business, my daughter. Let the adults handle it,” the cou...
2025-06-14 11:49:48 +0000 UTC View Post“We have confirmed the death of the enemy's symbiote user, Jonathan,” a soldier announced as he entered King Angus’s meeting room without knocking. His insolence was quickly forgiven as everyone cheered at the good news he brought.
“As expected of Seraphine! How many casualties?” one of King Angus’s ministers asked, his face contorted into a bright smile. It was as if the huge burden was released from his shoulder.
“We suffered quite a lot. Of the ten thousand soldie...
2025-06-13 18:31:19 +0000 UTC View PostJames walked toward the treasure chest atop a pile of gold coins, jewels, and jewelry. Suddenly, the disk beeped—the dot that had appeared on it earlier was now moving closer to the center.
“That chest, huh?” James muttered. Among the five chests, the radar pointed toward the middle-right one. James’ eyebrow twitched, wondering why it wasn’t the center. But he ignored the nagging feeling and prepared to do his ritual to open them. “Alright, stay in the corridor, pleas...
2025-06-12 18:42:57 +0000 UTC View PostWhen James stepped into the portal, he was transported inside a cave. The rocky cavern was wet, with several puddles scattered about. Crystal-clear water dripped from the ceiling, creating a serene cacophony. The flash from the portal repeated several more times as soldiers began pouring out of it. There was no flashlight, but the cave was dimly lit with some kind of fluorescent moss. The scenery certainly looked magical, but James was already bored by such things.
“No more ope...
2025-06-12 18:22:59 +0000 UTC View PostI picked up my Icerail Naginata from my inventory. I’m a D-rank, so I probably won’t be much help against a B-rank Anathema. But I don’t think I can just stand by and do nothing. As expected of a high-ranker, Freya knew where the next enemy was. She must have some sort of skill to detect them, even when they’re invisible.
“I got reports from Freya. There are two other Floating Metals,” Felicia said. From my infrared vision, I could see two silhouettes heading straight for me...
2025-06-12 17:26:49 +0000 UTC View Post“Ah! Lady Elidranthia! Greetings, milady. If I may ask, are you undertaking some mage jobs as well?”
Alicia met with Eli at the fountain when she was about to install another pump. She had to use polite language since Laura was there.
Why was she there? She would never know. Elidranthia had forced the matter of doing mage duties on her father, the count, during her lessons with Laura. Since she was still on the clock—even though she had no experience nor expertise in ...
2025-06-08 10:43:01 +0000 UTC View Post“We’re going to install several magic tools. Alicia, you’ve been assigned to install them,” Rodrique announced the very next day.
“Hm? Alright! What magic tools?”
“We have five mana water pumps, a new forge, a refrigerator, and a flying balloon.”
“Flying balloon?”
“It’s a military device used for scouting. We use balloons to lift a single soldier into the sky, then he reports back what he sees once he comes down. Ah… you’ll also need ...
2025-06-08 06:30:35 +0000 UTC View PostNow that the war is over, Hiro could finally play with his girls. Hiro slithered out from Cecile and slipped inside her dress, juggling her massive mounds as Cecile ate her breakfast.
“Hiro!” While Cecile was sexually trained, Hiro had encouraged her to feel ashamed. So, when she felt her chest was juggling in the knight's dining room, she quickly dropped her sandwich and covered her chest.
While she seemed angry, Hiro knew that the fire had been lit inside. She h...
2025-06-08 05:11:27 +0000 UTC View PostFreya then called for a seinjet to take us to the harbor. I expected General Armstrong to be there, but a Guardian Command henchman stood in his place. He gave a military salute as we approached the port. Though he wasn’t wearing a uniform, he presented his ID and verification from General Armstrong—so he was the guy.
"Were you supporting us?"
"I don’t like the idea of casting people into the Darklands. Jail and demotion should be enough. But this time, it’s a bit more per...
2025-06-07 16:15:33 +0000 UTC View Post“...Damn…” James cursed as he saw a small lake with another blue portal in the middle. The blue and orange arrow at the corner of James’ view had pointed to a completely different place. This portal was one of those secret portals that did not show on the system.
Nevertheless, the jet-black tar pools stood between James and the portal. James checked his stats—he still had over 1,000 coins remaining. If something happened, he should be fine. Moreover, he was supposed to ...
2025-06-07 14:41:00 +0000 UTC View PostJames was faced with yet another forest as he stepped onto the fifth floor. Despite being halfway through conquering the dungeon, he didn’t feel relieved in the slightest. Since there was no boss and the portal to the floor below was still open, James felt this entire dungeon was one huge floor rather than the ten floors the system had announced to him.
A few hours after James began traversing the forest, following the arrow the system had granted him, there were no attacks. Th...

I felt a wave of strong revulsion at the scene unfolding before my eyes. For a moment, I doubted whether what I saw was real. I knew my mother was a bad person, but I never imagined she could stoop this low.

2025-06-01 15:20:57 +0000 UTC View Post“Why am I so poor?” the poor Alicia lamented, mocking all the so-called middle-class people in this world. If she was poor, then all the hard-working middle-class folks might as well be homeless beggars. Despite having a rented room, a job, and food, she still whined at every opportunity. Many would envy her, yet the ungrateful Alicia never failed to complain.
She looked over at her precious green egg, which had started to glow faintly ever since she placed an arcane stone be...
2025-05-31 17:41:37 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a long, long six chapters of content, Alicia—who had been employed by Shadowstep for almost a week now—had finally begun her real job.
Alexandraine brought them to the town hall, where the hell of overworked mages resided. Several low-level mages lay motionlessly on sofas as they slept, trying to recover some modicum of mana before getting back to work.
To Alicia, however, this was heaven. After all, she didn’t need to answer to nagging bosses. She didn’t need...

“Yes, sir. Despite diving at almost the same time, he came out earlier than you and Andrew.”

After James and the soldiers packed the snake meat and wrapped it with James’ spider silk, they went to the blue portal. There, they were teleported right into the middle of a ruined village, where only dogs and rabid goblins without any sense of sentience prowled.
“Contact! Enemy at 2 o'clock!” one soldier shouted as he saw a charging goblin with a club. Its roar was met with a gunshot, quickly fired by the excellent marksman. The bullet popped the goblin’s head like a ball...

In fact, their role in the formation of the Aelaranthae Empire was minuscule. Neither supporting nor denying. They are a theocracy. So, when the Aelaranthae Empire was formed, they founded a church inside.
They extolled the virtue of the goddess, and The Aelaranthae were fine with it. However, they couldn’t proceed further for they were unable to coerce the Aelaranthae using the n...
