After growing so strong from assimilating the special serum that Xue Xenxue created, I was so joyful I couldn’t help but praise the genius. He even surpassed me in terms of Alchemy and all that complicated Science stuff.
I might have lived eleven thousand years, but I mostly spent them honing my fighting abilities over anything else. Although I did still reach a Grandmaster Level of Comprehension in Alchemy, it appears he’s even more talented than me while not even being...

The single aberration controlling and dominating this layer emerged out of nowhere. Over several meters in length and composed primarily of corrupted data and data-corrupting crystals, this thing—a high-level virus—emerged from the caves, tearing through the data crystals and shattering them with its furious steps.
It mostly resembled a giant black and red spider made of these colored crystals, but it was also covered with several other insectoid bodies. It had scythes, ...

“Ah!”
When I opened my eyes, I found myself sitting on the floor. Xue Xenxue was looking at me with a worried expression.
“M-Master! Are you okay? I never imagined you could even fall unconscious!”
“I think I did it willingly… I saw memories, memories of those cells. I saw the origin of their planet, their people, and even of Hall… his whole life.”
“Really?”
“Yes… He’s a true hero, that man. And ...

Zero One and her sisters started running through the large hall, aiming for the hole to get to the fourth layer.

However, one of the guards quickly noticed their presence, and three more came after them.

“Ooh?!”
I gasped, my aura surged with immense strength, as I felt my muscles growing tougher, my blood rapidly flowed through my body until I became red like a tomato, letting out steam from my body, sweating.
My organs started twitching and breaking apart and then regenerating again; my muscles grew old and then younger. For a moment I became an old, decrepit lady, only to immediately become rejuvenated.
Incredible, to think this can work even on a Venerable...

John was surprised when he heard Will talking about going to that hellish place. Even though they might be able to save the kidnapped kids, he didn’t even know if they were alive right now to make it worth the risk.

“Well, I’m confident in my strength,” Will said. “I have Water an...

After stuffing his Bag of Holding full of Spirit Crystals, Will safely made his way back to the Safe Zone, where he walked toward the bed he had secured from the furniture store, resting there after taking a quick shower using his own water magic. Water magic was sure convenient—and in more ways than one.
The water he produced was completely safe to drink. He could also easily wash himself and even warm or cool it at will. He didn’t even really need to boil water after h...

Also, Earth’s Science and all the equipment you brought me are truly fascinating! I’ve been able to successfully incorporate it with Alchemy, and everything has become so much ...

Zero One was filled with a blazing new purpose, filled with willpower and the strength to walk through all adversities. She lunged herself and her sisters through the danger of what entering her Mother’s CPU and her Internal Data Storage, or “Digital Mind,” entailed.
What encompassed the Internal Data Storage, however, ended up being much more complex than they ever believed, being something gigantic—to the point that it was dubbed a “Digital Dimension,” a large,...

Teressa also had access to the civilization system and all its functions. She had her own ideas of what she could assign, and she even had her own separate list of people and their trust levels.
Some of these people Vlad had never met, but they had very high trust levels with her, for example.

Suddenly, a voice reverberated through the entirety of the hall.
Mother and the three sisters glanced everywhere, suddenly noticing a giant golden cat above the skies, with a red-colored mirror above her head.
“Zero One and her sisters, your story has captivated me! Go on!”

The construction of Merneith’s new machine was going smoothly, and her brother himself was designing it. He had truly turned over a new leaf here. Unlike the other members of her family, who were imprisoned, he’d been actively allowed to help and work in this place. Of course, I had my suspicions at first, but he hadn’t tried anything funny yet and seemed genuinely sorry for what he’d done, which was surprising.
I guess it helped that in my Inner Realm, time moved mu...

What is a “purpose”?
Something one must do because that’s what you were born for?
Or something we decide for ourselves—a reason to be, or what drives us forward to continuing living?

After breakfast, we were getting ready to step out and continue our journey, planning to visit the Saurians again for a little while. However, before that, I moved with Merneith toward a large area within my Inner Realm—a city composed of several gigantic golden pyramids. These were massive spaceships capable of traveling through space and unleashing destructive missiles, bombs, and even rays of sun radiation powerful enough to blow up an entire city.
Though most of them w...

“That’s a good idea,” Peperina said. “A refuge for them on Earth… or perhaps in Floor 1? I know Earth is fine too, but Floor 1 might be better for them. People there are used to the Lizardmen and other reptilian species, like Kobolds, so they wouldn’t be seen as… um, well, they wouldn’t stand out.”

Cube had told Will that nights were much different and more dangerous than days in the Great Beyond, but it was only now, as he stepped outside the Safe Zone at night, that Will truly understood what his Novice Administrator meant.

Will was left shocked; the scene before him was not what he had expected. He had imagined a dark, ruined city with strange nocturnal monsters lurking about, perhaps a couple of goblins t...

After Will’s words, Maria seemed a bit surprised. She had no idea her ability could not only restore health but also mana. Will assumed that perhaps one of the reasons they kept her around wasn’t just because she could produce food, but also because of its healing properties. Even though he suspected these people might not have fully realized what her abilities could do, they indeed felt the benefits.
