A New Encounter
‘Looks matter most — they’re the strongest form of narrative plausibility.’
If I had been the one stuttering and babbling up there, I’d have been tied to a stake and burned on the spot.
Even Unhak was booed before he started talking about martial arts.
Though once he did start talking about martial arts, they switched to cursing.
Because a man should always watch his mouth.
Me? I kept it dignified. Simple. Straight to the point.<...

Northern Expeditionary Force Camp.
The command tent of the expeditionary force, led by Duke Faust, was enveloped in heavy silence.
“Your Excellency, no matter how we look at it, without the Windsor Knights…”
“Inflicting a devastating blow is impossible.”
“Ugh…”
Faust clutched his head in frustration.
A hesitant adjutant cautiously spoke up.
“Perhaps… an apology…”
“Are you joki...

1.
She was a girl who didn't even look older than 10.
Her golden hair, damp with sweat, shimmered in the moonlight.
Her crimson eyes gleamed like well-polished rubies, exuding a quiet nobility.
She still had at least 3 more years before hitting full-fledged puberty, but her beauty was already beginning to blossom.
“Still… doesn’t feel as satisfying to cut them down.”
The fight had been enjoyable. It had been a while, a...

1.
At the convent, the day ends after evening meal.
The girls return to their rooms to prepare for bed.
I took off my habit and changed into everyday clothes instead of pajamas.
A dark indigo dress worn and faded with time.
When I first put it on, it felt awkward since the hem flopped around everywhere.
But now… I’m used to it. It’s actually comfortable.
“Where you going?”
A girl poked her head out from t...

Magical Girl Black (Midnight)
Yoo Seo-ah is bawling her eyes out while eating.
It’s probably a sight she wouldn’t want anyone else to see, so I quietly left the groceries I bought by the door and decided to wait until she calmed down.
There’s a small chance she might just fall asleep after eating and never come out, but honestly, I think that’s unlikely.
I never thought I’d be saying this, but…
The Yoo Seo-ah I know is a hardcore smoker.

Maybe because I passed straight through the door, Yoo Seo-ah gave up and let me inside.
After all that back-and-forth, I finally entered her home—
And “mess” didn’t even begin to describe it.
The entire room was saturated with the stench of old cigarette smoke.
She must’ve smoked so much that even the wallpaper was stained a dull apricot color.
You’re wondering, “Wasn’t it just that color to begin with?”

Demon King's Army Subjugation (3)
"???"
Cecilia stood blankly at the head of the Northern Expeditionary Force, staring at the demon forces ahead.
The demons had abandoned even their dungeons and poured out en masse. The sheer number was beyond imagination.
Looks like a good mob-farming spot—land a few AoEs and the EXP would be delicious...
‘No, wait! This isn’t right!’
How did it come to this?
Cecilia reflected. She retraced her steps.

‘An intriguing human.’
Cain gazed at Cecilia with a tinge of nostalgia as she boldly visited his castle.
No human—no, not even the current Demon King—would dare act like this toward him.
Wasn't this amusing? For someone who had lived through countless repetitive days, this was a rare jolt of stimulation.
“Very well. What is it you wish to say to me?”
“To revisit the conversation we had last time.”

No matter how many times I asked them to open it, they wouldn’t.
Well, I guess that’s fair.

Who in their right mind would say, “Sure, come in”?

Maintaining her place as an heir—
At first, she believed she could do it. That there was nothing she couldn't overcome.
But in the end, Shagallor succeeded in making Abel—the child—heir to the North.
And so, as time passed, Karalin’s thoughts began to change.
Everything’s ruined.
Let it all burn.
The world that made me this way is what’s truly broken.
…Did she really come to think that way?

Chik, chiik—…
Sparks fly from the flint.
With a whoosh, a small flame flares up, casting light across the dark room.
I light the cigarette between my lips and inhale deeply.
The acrid smoke fills my lungs, and I frown at the sharp pain that makes them feel like they’re shriveling.
“Fuuuu—…”
A long breath escapes me, and the white smoke brushes past my face as it scatters.
Was it the cigarette smoke? Or...

There’s an old, shabby chapel nestled at the base of a breezy hill.
The Edel Convent.
A place where unmarried women gather to serve the Celestial God.
It also serves as an orphanage for girls abandoned by their parents.
And this is where I was reborn.
Elia.
No last name.
No memory of my parents’ faces.
Just a first name, and the body of a small girl.
At first, I couldn't distinguish reality and thought it...

This wasn’t a metaphor for his emotions.

After a formal salute, Faust burst into a broad smile and energetically shook Cecilia’s hand.

Cecilia headed to the engine room at a pace that was neither fast nor slow.
13 people trailed behind her in a single file like children playing train.
“Lady Cecilia, will everything really be over if we just destroy the dungeon core?”
“Hmm… probably not.”
Demon blood dripped from the tip of Cecilia’s lazily-dragged sword.
On the way here, she had sliced off every Dullahan’s arms and legs.

As if this sort of thing was routine.

Kairon’s tone was stern—but not as strict as usual.

Cecilia, still in her pajamas, was walking through a dungeon.
‘Not the boss room.’
Seeing those poorly scribbled words, it was clear that Ferna had to be inside.
When she opened the door, there was the pink-haired demon, kneeling and prostrating.
“W-welcome to my humble—”
“Truly a humble dump.”
The dungeon was really just a large cave. Fortunately, mana stones were growing here and there, which meant at least the resources...

The Ducal House of Vitagarte is the northern shield that defends the Empire.
Sure, people like to mock them, calling them turnip-munching boars—
But even the arrogant Empire acknowledges them as their “shield.”
That says enough about their strength.
It’s no surprise, then, that every heir who has taken the mantle of House Vitagarte was a monster in their own right.
They were strong.

I left the academy gates feeling refreshed after catching up on all the top-voted posts I had missed.
Originally, I planned to head straight home.
But a crowd gathering nearby piqued my curiosity.
At its center, a loud voice rang out:
“Hey, hey! This isn’t an opportunity you see every day! With your insight, you could turn one silver coin into a hundred!”
It sounded like a typical street swindler.
But a 100x return? That’s ...

Today is a sad day for all the international KR-novel-reader.
Novelpia just rolled out a site-wide update (this is just a guess) and encrypted their entire site.
As a result, every translation tool is broken down, and it is really hard to get the content in advance for translation. (plus more expensive)
However, I will try to keep translating with the current things I still have. Though it is hard to know in the future, when Novelpia is trying really hard to crack us down.

It’s not like I asked for this kind of second life, either.
But even so, did I really have to die in such a miserable way?

Frankly, she didn’t have the mental energy to care about such details anymore.

Following his relief, praise came next. Kairon was genuinely proud of Cecilia.

“Envy” was originally a guardian, assigned to protect a certain dungeon.
That dungeon belonged to “Gluttony.” Gluttony loved food. Its favorite food was humans.
So Gluttony turned an entire village into a dungeon. It gave the "foods" a measly bit of authority. And then something incredible happened.
The foods began producing more food and offering it to Gluttony. Since it was humans ...
