Pause in Billing

As you all know, my update has been slightly off this month (I'm terribly sorry about that). That's why I decided to pause the billing, as I thought it would be unfair for my Patreons.

I'll also be taking a week's rest to hopefully get over my writing slump and slight burnout, which have been caused by my recent busy schedule.

Lastly, I would also like to thank you guys for your encouragement lately! It really, really helps a lot. Knowing that you guys appreciate a...

Serendipity’s PoV

As the eldest and only girl in a family of five children, growing up was nothing short of a wild ride. With four energetic and boisterous brothers, chaos was practically a permanent fixture of my upbringing.

Taking on the roles of referee and peacekeeper became second nature to me, and I often found myself needing to raise my voice to command the attention of my rowdy brothers. To be heard above the noise, I often had to raise my voice. This, i...

RING RING, RING RING

Instinctively, my left hand reached out toward my bedside table as I fumbled for my phone to turn off the alarm.

Big mistake.

The moment my fingers curled around it, a sharp, searing pain shot through my left hand like an electric jolt, ripping me fully out of my sleepy haze.

“GAH—!” I yelped, practically yeeting my phone across the bed as if it had personally betrayed me.

For a second, I just sat ther...

Vol. 3 Chapter 20

"Alright, that's it for today," Professor Alden's voice broke the quiet hum of the room.

Anyone could feel the shift in the atmosphere—students perking up at the thought of the class being dismissed. And honestly, who could blame them? It’s been a long day, and for most of us, this is the last period for the day.

"Oh, before I forget, the Robotics Showcase is just two weeks away. I encourage you to approach your designs thoughtfully. While duct tape may seem like an ingenious ...

Clarissa’s PoV

“You’re quite early today, aren’t ya!” a familiar voice called out as I made my way to the guild commission hall.

“Mr. Dorge!” I greeted him back.

Despite his gruff appearance, there was always a warmth in his demeanor that put me at ease whenever I saw him.

“We don’t have any classes today, so I thought I’d help out the guild by taking on some quests!” I declared, feeling extra motivated.

“Ho-ho, how hardwo...

Yuna’s PoV

“I’ve had my staff call for her. She should be here any minute now,” Mr. Henderson, the school’s Dean of Student Affairs, said with a warm, practiced smile.

“Got it! Thanks again~ and sorry for all the trouble,” I replied, flashing him a quick, polite grin.

"Not at all! Your visit here is a great honor, and I'm delighted that you're interested in one of our students," he responded amicably.

“Hehe~ you praise me too much!” I...

Vol.3 Chapter 17

Clarissa’s PoV

As I entered our guild's smith, the air realistically smelled of molten metal and burning wood, even though I was just in a game. It was always chaotic but weirdly comforting whenever I stepped foot in this place.

“Miss Clarissa, you’re here. Here to pick up the set?” Reynolds, one of our highest-level guild blacksmiths, said with a gentlemanly smile.

Reynolds and my brother went way back—they were classmates in high school, so he us...

Vol.3 Chapter 16

Konn’s PoV

The sound of clashing blades and the sharp impact of strikes echoed across the open courtyard, blending with the occasional bursts of laughter and shouts from other players.

The guild’s courtyard was vast—far larger than I had expected—with stone pathways weaving between training dummies and weapon racks stationed near the surrounding walls. Sunlight poured in unhindered, casting shadows on trees and fluttering banners that lined the perimeter.<...

Vol.3 Chapter 15

It has been a few days since I assumed the role of guild leader. The increased responsibility is demanding but also deeply fulfilling, like finding a new goal to strive for—making our guild one of the strongest in the game.

Besides, I served as Celeste’s de facto secretary back then, somewhat like what Serendipity was doing now but with fewer responsibilities. Therefore, I’m slightly familiar with handling guilds—one of the reasons I was doing fine even as a new leader.

Du...

Clarissa’s PoV

“ROOOOAAAARRR.”

The frost wyrm let out a deafening roar, sending a shockwave of icy air that nearly knocked us off our feet.

The dragon's scales shimmered like frozen diamonds, each reflecting the faint light that filtered through the cavern's ice-covered ceiling. The effect was mesmerizing, casting a dazzling array of glimmers and sparkles throughout the chamber.

Its eyes glowed with an eerie blue intensity, like twin sapphires li...

Vol.3 Chapter 13

I pushed the door open and stepped into the guild master’s office. The room was spacious and dimly lit, with shelves lined with ancient tomes and relics more for aesthetics rather than practical use.

A large, intricately carved desk dominated the center of the room, its surface cluttered with maps, documents, and other unfamiliar objects. Behind the desk, the Dust sat in a high-backed chair, looking like a proper guild leader for once.

"You're just in the nick of time! I’ve ju...

Vol.3 Chapter 12

Zetta’s PoV

“Are you serious?!” I shouted in exasperation, my voice echoing through the room.

The tension in the participant’s room was palpable due to the recent match. I hated to admit it, but the loss was partly my fault. Despite giving it my all, I underestimated Murasame’s skill, and that cost us the game.

Still, I wasn’t angry about the defeat itself against a strong opponent like her, far from it. Instead, I’m thrilled to have to fight h...

Vol. 3 Chapter 11

Yuna’s PoV

I surveyed the room. Gloomy was an understatement. My teammates sat with their heads hung low, the weight of the recent loss evident in their expressions.

Artemis was slouched in her chair, staring at the floor and absentmindedly twirling a strand of her hair. She usually has this fiery spark in her eyes, but right now, she just looks defeated.

Freya was leaning against the wall with her arms crossed, looking seriously frustrated. She wasn't say...

Vol.3 Chapter 10

Elizabeth’s PoV

 My heart raced with excitement as I mentally checked over my equipment one more time.

Phone for streaming? Check.

Lapel microphone clipped onto my clothing for enhanced audio quality? Check.

Camera mount to keep the camera steady? Check.

I surveyed my surroundings.

Thousands of fans cheered for either Team Atelier or Razor Gaming inside the “Dome," the world's largest e-sports stadium located in San Francisco. This...

Vol.3 Chapter 9

Aroganz's PoV

I walked down the long corridor leading to the guild master's office, my footsteps echoing softly against the stone walls.

As I reached the ornate wooden door of the guild master's office, I knocked casually, waiting for a response. A cheerful voice from within beckoned me to enter.

Pushing the door open, I stepped inside the spacious office. The room was filled with the scent of aged leather and parchment, perfectly replicated in this VR world...

Vol.3 Chapter 8

How did it come to this?

I thought as I surveyed my surroundings.

I stood in the center of the bustling sparring hall. The flickering torches glow warmly on the stone walls, creating an almost festive atmosphere. The wooden beams above us echoed with the cheers and excitement of our fellow guild members, who had gathered in a lively crowd eager to watch the match unfold.

Looking around, I see that there are so many of our guild members gathered here, maybe almost all of thos...

Vol.3 Chapter 7

As I stepped into the large guild hall, the flickering light of chandeliers illuminated it, casting shadows across the room's polished marble floors.

Some of the guild's top officers who were already present gathered around a large, ornate table in the center. As I looked around, I felt their eyes upon me. Their expressions shifted from serious to favorable, acknowledging my presence with a bit of respect.

Our tournament run has been the talk of our guild over the past month, so n...

Vol.3 Chapter 6

I sighed heavily as I arrived at the entrance of my upscale apartment complex, feeling a mix of exhaustion and relief after a long day of school.

It can’t be helped. It’s getting a bit troublesome in my college lately, with some students even persistently asking me to add and play ranked matches with them in-game. Thankfully, no one confessed this time. It’s probably the only silver lining for the day, though.

The guard outside greeted me as I stepped through the glass doors...

Vol.3 Chapter 5

Yuna’s PoV

A sudden alarm sounded, prompting me to glance at the virtual clock of the game.

It’s almost time for the meeting, huh? That’s good. I have a reason to end this charade early.

I couldn't help but feel a spark of excitement at the prospect of wrapping up the stream. After all, I have a valid reason to end it early: We have a team meeting to discuss tactics for the tournament.

With an exaggeratedly cute tone, I addressed my viewer...

Vol.3 Chapter 4

“Novo! Over here!” Clarissa suddenly exclaimed.

Currently, we were in the middle of a dungeon run to gain experience points and level up. Having been suddenly called, I glanced over at her and noticed her excitement. She had her usual innocent, picturesque look that was simply adorable!

“What is it?” I asked, intrigued by her sudden enthusiasm.

“Follow me! There ...

Side Chapter: Sisters

The town square bustled with life as the morning sun painted the cobblestone streets a warm golden hue. As I walked through the crowded city of Stormreach, a place for max-level players, towards the exit of the city.

While taking a leisurely stroll, A ping suddenly flashed at the corner of my eyes. It was a message from a guildmate.

Ariadne: Hey, you’re already online. Just asking if you’re free right now. Do you want to do a dungeon run or something?

Vol.3 Chapter 3

As I pushed open the door to my sister's hospital room, her face lit up with a broad smile.

“Oh, you’re here!” she exclaimed with her usual cheerfulness.

This time, however, her joy seemed genuine rather than an exaggerated effort to ease our worries. Had something good happened to her, perhaps?

“Sup, Sis,” I greeted back casually as I approached her bedside.

“You look like you’ve seen better days,” she teased, eyeing my disheveled appearance.

Vol.3 Chapter 2

“Over here, Kat!” Lena called out to me as I scanned the cafeteria for a seat.

The aroma of various dishes filled the air, mingling with the buzz of conversations and the clatter of trays and utensils as I navigated my way to our usual table, tray in hand.

I took a seat and placed my tray on the table. Today’s special was pasta with a side salad and a small dessert. A quick glance around confirmed that Benny, Romel, and Raynolds were already seated. The whole gang was here, ...

Ring Ring Ring*

I awoke to the sound of my phone alarm. Reaching out to the small table beside my bed, I grabbed the device. After all this time, I'd finally trained myself to wake up at the exact time I wanted without the urge to hit the snooze button—a small victory, but a victory nonetheless.

I instinctively checked the time and date, squinting at the screen to see it before turning off the alarm.
