Aleph’s near-death experience in Chiba Academy wasn’t anything special… at first. He only had two achievements that were deemed to be ‘special’ enough for the achievement hunter to reward him with the Embryonic Power System and the Random Box that gave him the Evolution Cube.
No matter how amazing a ‘thing’ is, it would most likely still fall on the rules of equivalent exchange. Forcibly giving Aleph a reward in advance sh...

By this time, he had taken a glance at it dozens of times. Each time he did so, he was forced to bleed.
His injuries weren’t meaningless. He wasn’t similar to before who forgets the “complex information” that enters his mind (i.e., the time in the Sanctum). Even though something was still missing in him, Aleph...

One week.
That was the time Aleph spent since his entry to this instance.

He came from a relatively normal world. He felt the difference of Izumo’s day on Earth’s day.

The Raiden lineage was one of the upper families that had established themselves since the beginning of Takamagahara’s descent. They were already a huge corporate group way back. It was due to their resources that they were able to reorganize swiftly and follow the new trend set by the kamis and sovereigns.
Their wealth and sphere of influence was big enough to fit in the top three.
As such, when their family head died suddenly, the covetous people struck....

It was then did I realize it:
It’s not water.

Along the process, she unbuckled my belt and pulled down my pants and underwear. My dick was no longer restricted by the zipper's cold sensation when it stood erect.

He wrapped his arms around her body. Her head barely reached his face. Aleph had to lower his head to do so. This gave Hua a strange feeling.

Gradually, she lost herself in it. The e...

With that over, Su asked him some rather important questions.
