Margaux Swan By Thomas F (AI)

When I woke up, it was bright.
The crystal was still just as cold and uncomfortable as it was last night, but given how I was feeling, I nearly forgot about that.
I am so much better than I had thought I would be.
It is far from my peak, but a lot better than yesterday.
I sat up and looked at the beautiful view behind the glass wall.
It is a vast sky.
The floor is above the clouds. I wish they would disapp...

My eyes stayed glued to the city, refusing to waver, even when the ship moved to dock at the port.
What I watch is too absorbing to see anything else —undeniably irresistible. I couldn't tear my gaze away, not now.
There are a lot of them at the piers. Working as porters, operating things.
They are magnificent. The smallest, no larger than an adolescent child, and the tallest stood over seven meters high.
“Some of...

It is one of the unique cities in the continent and even the world, as it is between two kingdoms.
Half is in the Kingdom of Rasal, and the other half is in the Kingdom of Ilazad. It is also a city without city walls.
We will enter from the Rasal side and exit from Ilazad. On the other side, we will reach Lake Valefrost, a massive lake.
Archmage City isn’t a city you approach by land. It is on an island in...

Baron Homer
Council Hall, Lauryl.
“The past two weeks have been a little calm, but their attacks increased further this week,” said General Jarvis, sending the documents to us.
I activated Fast Read and reviewed them all.
After reading them, my expression turned serious. There have been seventeen attacks on the territories in the past week.
Half of them were in the territories o...

Merchant of Desire Lv. 36
I saw the text, and a smile appeared on my face. I needed it.
The level-up was great yesterday, but I needed an attribute point.
I wanted to use it for charm. Instead, I put it on strength, taking it to nineteen.
I would have put it on the vitality, but it was already at twenty. I aim to take strength to twenty before I use any attribute points on mental attributes.
Alt...

“You have heard Master Silver's requirement. Show us the best girls in that meet them, Miss Law,” said the older woman, turning to me.
“Who are you?” I asked instead of doing what she asked.
I am now incredibly curious about these people.
I thought these two women were mistresses, but the way the man looked at them did not suggest that they had that kind of relationship.
The woman smiled before I felt her powe...

“Look at that carriage. It’s from the station,” said Larmi as the beautiful carriage stopped beside the gate.
I turned, and surprise couldn’t help but appear on my face.
The carriages are magnificent, almost like the ones used by the influential people of the city.
Carriages like these never come to the darkest part of the red-light district, especially one belonging to the...

“Let’s go,” I said as I finished the lunch and swallowed my medicine.
Jill pushed my wheelchair toward the door. I could not walk for more than a few minutes before it would tire me out.
As I had said, I am not as healed as I looked.
We stepped into the elevator, and it descended. It stopped, and we got out.
As we exited the elevator, I saw two people waiting there. One is a dwarf, and the other is an orc.

“They failed,” said the Armoured man with his expression terrible.
Months of preparation and a lot of money had gone into this, but despite that, it all failed.
“It has,” replied the man with the staff before turning.
“From now on, focus on our preparations. The enemy has been lucky, but no matter how lucky he is, we will have him and his cities as his deathl...

The mound of ash smoldered in the dim, suffocating air. Relief coursed through me, bitter and fleeting—I had survived, but I wasn’t whole.
My body screamed in protest, every muscle fraying under the weight of what I had endured. I knew I had pushed too far, too hard. There would be a reckoning for this.
I swayed on my feet, teetering on the edge of surrender.
The thought of letting go whispered its dark promise, almost ...

Clang!
He defended quickly before attacking. It was a powerful attack filled with all his fury.
Seeing me attacking him.
I defended the attack, but he repeatedly attacked with the glittering fire burning wildly across his saber.
This fire was leaking through the force field, burning me!
I defended seven times before I was able to attack once again. Unable to breach his defence, he struck me four times before I at...

"You’ve forced my hand," he growled, and before I could react, the fire along his saber erupted into a feral blaze.
Damn it!
My heart clenched, dread clawing its way up my spine. This was bad—really bad.
I’d barely survived last time, defying all odds by accomplishing in days what Bell claimed would take a year. But now, that victory felt like a curse.
I was able to push the aura on the passive...

Bang Rip!
‘Eleven,’ I counted, giving another cut across his stomach.
One was all I took to deal with 90% of the enemies I had used the artifact against.
Five was the highest.
All those enemies were stronger than me. It’s the reason I used the artifact against them. Killing them all without exception, but here, despite cutting him eleven times, he is still alive. 2024-12-04 01:30:01 +0000 UTC View Post

Bang!
A deafening roar shattered the night as my blade collided with the surging arc of diamond fire.
It was powerful.
So much so that it threatened to push me back. I did not let it. Instead, I drove more of my aura against the attack.
Finally, it snapped. The diamond fire recoiled, its predatory light twisting as though in pain before hurtling back toward the enemy ranks.
For a breathless moment, silence hung ...

He stopped. I pulled the reins of my mount and stopped as well.
We followed him for nearly an hour without question as he moved backward through a different route.
It was strange, but we followed.
“What is happening?” I asked finally, and there was no reply. I turned to Ulo and saw her expression become cautious, with a grimace emerging on her face.
“A group of p...

“I su,” my saber cut his head before he could finish that sentence.
I had offered them a choice to leave at the start, but they didn’t take it. So, no one can blame me for killing them.
I looked around and saw the dead bodies around me. It was the third bandit group that had attacked me in less than a day.
I had killed six members of this group, while eleven ran away. I could catch up to them. I would ha...

“Left,” said Truku, our guide, as the light of dawn began to clear the dark sky.
We have picked up several guides on our way. They are necessary to travel through these thick forests, where the routes are like puzzle pieces.
Even with a precise map, we can’t move as fast as we are without their help.
They are allowing us to make good time toward Lord Silver.
If he had stayed in...

“The beasts are yours,” said the old, wiry orc, handing the reins of the three beasts to Ulo.
They are Rycas horses, thinner than most horses but fast and agile—the perfect beasts for moving through the thick forests of Baxzar.
“Thank you,” she replied before mounting her beast. I did the same, and so did John.
A minute later, we were out of the tribe's compo...

“Let’s go,” said the human woman, whose name I now know is Aya, as I emerged from the trees after changing my clothes.
Now, I am wearing nondescript adventurer’s clothes, different from the tattered suit earlier. They are well-worn and have old-looking swords.
I had also dyed my hair blond with a quick dye and used the alchemical drops that changed the color of my eyes.
I need to make it as hard as possible for my e...

“Stop!”
I ordered as the enemy rapidly retreated into the forest. Following them would be foolish. We need to be careful.
Immediately after Lord Silver disappeared, all the bandits began retreating. He is still their target; getting him is more important than wiping us out.
I turned and looked at the battlefield. It couldn’t help but make me sigh and feel ashamed.
I had failed....

‘Fuck, it's grade IV’s, leading the group!’ I said telepathically as the group of monsters came into view.
Eleven crimson-tusk hogs are in a group, two of which are Grade IV.
‘The bait worked better than we had thought,' replied Aya, with her eyes focused on a group of monsters before us.
It is our third year hunting here.
Although this is the first tim...

He defended again, but I attacked again, pushing Strong Arms, Phantom Blade, Searing Strike, and Bane Eyes to their limit.
He defended with his whole body shaking.
Looking at him, he feels like he could drop dead at any moment.
My cuts are covering every part of his body. Even his head felt the touch of my blade. He is also bleeding from all his orifices, his compl...
