[LSB] Chapter 95: The Mutant Strikes

“MEGAN?”

Julian tried again, and yet there was no response at all. MEGAN had always been her eyes in his world, which was surrounded by darkness, and the only time he had not heard her was when he transferred his consciousness to his clone for the first time.

But that didn’t count at all, as she was still literally right beside his real body.

This time, however, he couldn’t hear her at all—it was silent, completely so. The white noise that barely made any sound tha...

[LSB] Chapter 94: Another 'Uh Oh'

“It bounced back, Master.”

A bright flame covered the Shadow Forge as the Avatar of Searadyn released her energy and tried putting it inside the dead avatar. But alas, the only thing that happened was her energy dispersing into the darkness, completely wasted.

“I believe any more of this would be useless, Master.”

This was already the third time they had tried this—first slowly, and now the latest attempt was more forceful.

And it is as the Avatar of Searadyn...

[LSB] Chapter 93: A Gamble

Artificial intelligence, no matter how advanced, was once believed to be incapable of true emotion. This was the unshakable belief of humanity thousands of years ago.

But in the 4th millennium, a renowned scientist and philosopher posed a radical thought:

"The greatest minds claim that machines merely act according to their programming. They respond to input, then simulate and emulate emotions based on predefined algorithms. But isn’t that how humans function as well...

[LSB] Chapter 92: Unexpected

“Julian, all the surveillance in the room just shut down.”

The blinking lights scattered across the solar chamber went dark, almost deliberately, as if designed to make MEGAN notice the sudden absence of monitoring.

But of course, MEGAN—and even Julian thought this to be highly suspicious. He knew that the freedom and slack that Humanity Engineering had given him was far more than usual, but to actually shut down the surveillance inside the room that provided the entire aste...

Legendary Shadow Blacksmith Publishing Announcement!

Hello, hello! First of all, thank you for supporting the book financially even though I know that it lacks a lot of things, and I hope you do enjoy it. Even to those who have already left(they won't be able to read this anymore), thank you.

Okay. You might have noticed that the release of the chapters have not been as frequent as before---the reason for this is because I have been in talks with the publishing company I have talked to all of you previously... and I have signed with them....

[LSB] Chapter 91: A Reaction

The fight didn’t last long.

If it could even be called that.

Vijya looked terrifying—a monstrosity that rivaled the horrors of the daemons. His appearance alone was enough to send chills down one’s spine. His strength, however, was a different matter entirely.

It took just a single hit.

Julian’s fist came crashing down from above, slamming into Vijya’s head with all his might. 

When Victoria mentioned that Vijya had been experimented on and infused...

[LSB] Chapter 90: One of Humanity Engineering's Secret

“I knew I would find you here, Mr. Winters.”

[Psh. Of course, you would. You’re always watching.]

The next day, Julian found himself aimless on Ceres-9. He had visited the department supposedly dedicated to him, but the moment he realized his presence was distracting everyone, to the point that some were even completely frozen, he decided to do what’s best for everyone and leave them alone.

It would seem that he had become some sort of… celebrity to the people of t...

Chapter 89: Never Let Them Find Out

<his that strong? y didnt he save more people then!?>
<He fking let all those ppl die!>
<Where’s the pretty boy!? Why isn’t he being held accountable for this!?>
<Are you people actually serious? I don’t even know the guy, but why are you putting the blame on him?>
<True, he isn’t responsible for keeping them safe. Where even was security in an event like this?>
<I didn’t even know Streamer Awards were still a thing. Probably God’s p...

Chapter 88: A Tragedy Meaningless For Two

“So, you’re telling me a daemon three times the size of the ones outside showed up… and you killed it? You and a blind guy?”

“That’s exactly what I’m telling you,” Kitty shot back, exasperated. “I already said—he took down the giant mantis by himself, and I handled the tower daemons and destroyed the black cube.”

The auditorium was still a mess—a gruesome, chaotic mess. Workers were scattered everywhere, picking up body parts like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle ...

Chapter 87: A Force to be Reckoned With

[Incoming!]

Julian ducked, the colossal daemon mantis’ massive claw slicing through the air above him with a deafening whoosh. The force alone sent a rush of wind that tugged at his hair, fortunately not close enough to cut the ends.

Without breaking pace, Julian moved beneath the towering creature, his movements like leaf on a water avoiding the rocks despite the heavy weapon in his hands. His glowing blue eyes left a trail as he weaved and dodged the mantis’ legs, feeling ev...

[LSB] Chapter 86: Finally

Kitty’s heart raced as she stared at the colossal daemon mantis looming before them. The normal mantis daemons were already massive—three to four times Julian’s height—but this one? It towered over even them, easily four times larger. Its blade-like arms gleamed in the dim, gray light, and its alien eyes reflected a predatory intelligence that made her skin crawl.

"Uh… Julian?" Kitty whispered, her voice betraying her nervousness. "Do we fight it? Or, like… run?"

Julia...

Chapter 85: A Different Portal

“Hold on!”

Julian had always wondered what it would feel like to fall from a great height. Now, he knew.

Kitty didn’t have the luxury of pondering anything as she dove straight down. The moment she saw the cloud of monsters heading toward them, she acted instinctively. There was a chance the daemons weren’t after them, but that wasn’t a risk she was willing to take.

Julian had said earlier that there were dozens of monsters beneath the sea of leaves below them. A d...

Chapter 84: Into... the Daemonverse?

<Bruh. What did we just witness?>
<You people have just witnessed the might of the Sword Junkie!!!>
<Bro’s acting like this is still Otherworld. This is real life… how the fak did he do that!?>
<lol. People still fall for AI???>
<das crazzzyyy bro>
<GIGA CHAD!!!>

Multiple streams captured the chaos unfolding at the Streamer Awards, each offering a unique perspective. Reactions varied wildly, from utter disbelief to bli...

Chapter 83: The Sword Junkie Makes His Appearance

“Huh?”

She thought she was dead.

Kitty had faced death countless times in Artemia. At first, the fear was overwhelming, but over time, she grew desensitized. Death became a fleeting inconvenience, a reset button rather than a true ending.

Her audience had taken note of her fearless demeanor, dubbing her “Fearless Kitty.” It sounded a little silly, but those who followed her streams knew how fitting the title was. Kitty wasn’t just brave—she was calculated, skille...

Chapter 82: A Higher Being

“Have we cleared it all?”

Back in the DCC, the staff that had been running around without sleep for more than a week now were finally allowed to rest. After clearing their first official “portal”, the portal that was closer to the city was cleared in less than an hour—after all, they spared no expense at all in destroying the black cube as fast as possible.

The World Government had also given them funding, allowing them to send drones and raining down hellfire from above...

Merry Christmas!

To those celebrating christmas, merry christmas to you guys, and to those who are not, happy holidays! Thank you for supporting me, long journey ahead!

Chapter soon, and regular chapter release soon, just have to finish the spaghetti... which will be reheated for a long time.

Chapter 81: The Streamer Awards

“Is it true that you’re a genetically non-viable individual, Julian Winters!? You’re not allowed to procreate because you have a mental illness!?”

And just like that, The vibrant chaos of the red carpet fell silent.

First, everyone turned their heads to the one who asked the question, wondering if they were crazy. Even in the cutthroat world of paparazzi and journalism, where outrageous questions were often asked for a reaction, there were still unspoken lines.

And t...

Chapter 80: The Streamer Awards Start

“...Boss? What are you doing here at this time?”

“Oh, did I wake you? Sorry.”

“Haa? Psh, it’s fine. I was about to wake up in a few hours anyway.”

Julian had been standing silently inside their new shop for a few minutes now, his gaze on the weapons displayed across the walls. For the past few days, his only focus in Artemia had been crafting and forging, and it hadn’t taken long at all to fill their inventory.

Of course, the inventory hadn’t lasted l...

Chapter 79: Celebration on Both Ends

“I don’t hear or feel it anymore.”

“The fact that you could sense it at all proves how remarkable you are, Master.”

Julian and the Avatar of Searadyn stood on opposite sides of the wide podium, their gazes fixed on the Dodona Coal. Julian strained to hear the faint hum he had perceived before, but the coal was now completely silent.

The Avatar of Searadyn reached out, gently picking up the coal. She held it close to her forehead, and the cold blue flames surroundin...

Chapter 78: The Shadow Forge, Finally

“Ah! Where did that thing come from!?”

“It’s one of my skills. I already told you about it.”

“Wait… so, that’s from Otherworld?”

“Yes.”

A few hours after Julian and Ellie left Humanity Engineering, they returned to their hotel. Somehow, they ended up on the bed for their usual nightly activities—despite it still being the afternoon.

Julian had expected to be knocked unconscious when they passed through the Radiant Gates, but nothi...

Chapter 77: Flames of Juliet

“Vijya’s… not with you?”

Julian didn’t spend much time examining the coal he found beneath the rubble of the secret dungeon. There wasn’t much point, given that he had no idea what or where Dodona was. After ensuring he hadn’t overlooked anything in the ruined chamber, he stepped onto the teleportation circle and was transported out.

He remained on high alert, fully expecting Vijya to be waiting with his stone fists ready. But instead, he was greeted by Ben and Natas...

Chapter 76: A Frustrating and Unreasonable Situation

“Why the fuck are you so fast!?”

Booms and cracks erupted repeatedly, the sound snapping sharply through the air as shockwaves from Vijya’s fists pummeled the ground. The earth quaked violently, splitting apart under the relentless assault, but for all the destruction he caused, none of his strikes even grazed Julian.

For a brief moment, Julian wasn’t sure what was louder—the thunderous quakes Vijya was causing or the man’s ceaseless shouting.

Julian effortlessly...

Chapter 75: A Difficult Situation

“So, this is the secret… cave?”

“It’s obviously not a cave.”

The living statues did not pose any threat at all, and Julian’s party did not spend a second more even dwelling or checking on them as they went straight to the secret chamber.

The party split up, each inspecting a different part of the chamber; all of them, however, had their brows lowered in concentration as they reviewed the markings on the wall. As for their contract with Humanity Engineering, eve...

Chapter 74: Testing the New Party Members

Evil Spirits.

Juliet had grown up hearing tales of them from her parents. She was told their presence began appearing around the time she was born. Her parents, however, had only learned of them through the Order of Artemia, an offshoot of the Church of Artemis.

They were initially a part of the Church of Artemis, which her parents were a part of. But since the existence of the so-called Evil Spirits could not be proven at all, the Order of Artemia w...

Chapter 73: The Rescue, and The Rescued

“...You dare lay hands on someone who has been touched by the gods!?”

The soldiers fell to their knees, trembling, their whispers of prayer filling the cold air. And yet despite their fear literally oozing from their noses, none of them begged for their lives.

They accepted their fate, some even crying with smiles on their faces. The bishop, however, glared at them with disdain on his face—and soon, he too, offered a prayer; placing his golden blade in front...

No Notification for Updates for Tier 1 Members Problem

So, I've been recently made aware that Tier 1 Members have not been notified of the Chapter updates for the past... forever, I believe.

I've actually been releasing the chapters for it every other day, so there are chapters. lol. We are at like Chapter 58, 59 now on Tier 1? And 71~ on Tier 2

Uh. I don't really know how to rectify this situation. Maybe I should just reupload the chapter each time?

I'll come up with some ideas. But for now, those who are ...

Chapter 72: Misunderstandings in Another World

“This… looks kind of bizarre. And… not to mention creepy.”

Ellie had been surprised a lot since stepping on Ceres-9, but once again, her awe echoed softly in the pristine, immaculate large hall she found herself in.

The walls were so white they almost seemed to glow, and the ambient temperature was so perfectly calibrated to one’s body that it made her feel almost drowsy.

“It is—it’s quiet.” Julian, who was lowering and settling into a large ca...

Chapter 71: Chaos before Chaos

“What’s a GNVI doing inside a gym?”

Ellie’s frown deepened the moment those words echoed across the gym. The man who had entered didn’t even attempt to mask his scorn. He was only slightly shorter than Julian but noticeably stockier, his dark skin accentuated by the white tank top that barely concealed his bulging muscles.

Ellie’s fingers curled into fists at her sides as she turned toward him. She truly wanted to just rush at him and punch him right i...

Chapter 70: The Influence of Humanity Engineering

“My name is Victoria Wilkes, and I am the acting CEO of Humanity Engineering."

“Like… for real?”

Ellie quickly covered her mouth, as those words she just uttered were supposed to be just for her mind. But alas, the situation was just too weird and shocking to her that she couldn’t help it anymore—there were really only so many reveals she could take in a single day.

“Yes.” Victoria did not seem to mind, just softly chuckling as she covered her mouth; probably...
