Heavy Metal: Chapter 14 – Down The Hole.

“That was an annoying pile of rust.”

“You mean corroded, right?”

“Just shut up about that already, let’s just get out of here!”

“If you so please, Madam~”

The archer from the group attempted a very formal bow, or at least something resembling it. His lack of training in such matters made his performance rather stiff. The team leader Livi sighed and delivered swift punishment to her party member by kicking his leg. Instantly, the man recoiled in pain b...

Runesmith: Chapter 435 – Departing.

“Watch your steps while ascending the main ramp.”

“Yes Professor Ulfine.”

The airship was almost fully loaded and Roland along with Ulfine had already gotten on it. Lucienne along with the other students and her friends seemed a bit nervous but also excited. Even now a lot of them were looking in his direction, quieting down whenever they got up the ramp onto the ship, which his new acquaintance noticed.

“It seems that the young ones are interested in you, Wayland....

Heavy Metal: Chapter 13 – Tactical Retreat.

‘What was up with that guy? Why was he so fast?’

Rusty asked himself while almost tumbling down the stairs to the lower floor of the dungeon. A hole remained from the arrow that had pierced through his arm, but its size didn't warrant spending his precious bronze resources on repairs just yet. One bar of bronze from his stash tab could mend a much bigger opening so it was better to save it until his injuries increased.

As a monster, he didn't experience pain and wouldn't suffe...

Runesmith: Chapter 434 – Advancement Classes

“They want me to take part in the Advancement classes?!”

“It does seem that way but my friend, it might be better if you didn’t raise your voice, I think you scared some of the students…”

Roland glanced around at the numerous other people seated in the Institute cafeteria. He found himself there out of necessity as his home rations had run out, two weeks after his arrival. His initial plan to leave within this timeframe had clearly failed. It would be another two or th...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 12 – Craving Battle.

‘I’m really doing it!’

Rusty's sword grazed his opponent's cheek, causing his rage-filled expression to waver. The poison was doing its work, further weakening the adventurer. Rusty seized this opportunity to push the advantage, relentlessly pressing his attacks. The Fighter who was now visibly fatigued, struggled to defend himself against the relentless assault.

Meanwhile, the other fighter, along with the thief, was having some trouble against the other monster skeletons a...

Runesmith: Chapter 433 – To The Rescue.

“Hey, you there I’d like to have a word with you!”

“...”

“You are intruding on the personal space of this student, Increased heart rate has been noted, stress levels are increasing, please refrain from approaching this student.”

“Huh? What is this metal spider?”

“Please back away, this is a warning, if you don’t this unit will contact a faculty member and you will be restrained.”

A small spider golem attracted attention by causing a scene....

Heavy Metal 11 - The Guild.

“What are you talking about? That’s impossible.”

“Say that to my party member that got pierced by a damn arrow! That bridge was supposed to be safe, we followed the guild instructions and now both of them are dead!”

“We would need to confirm your claims, the dungeon is set for another shift in another five months, it’s impossible that something changed this early.”

“How will you do that, they both fell into that bottomless pit, are you going to have someone...

Runesmith: Chapter 432 – More Practical Lecture.

‘They seem a bit confused, I should probably bring out the visual aids.’

Roland was aware that his approach might face resistance from the scholarly mindset prevalent in this world, where learning predominantly involved books, and practical lessons were often limited to monster hunting and dungeon exploration. However, he favored a more hands-on approach to education, and opted to challenge the students with a puzzle. It would give their minds something new to tackle and perhaps all...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 10 – Dungeon Menace.

Combining Tin and Copper please wait…

Bronze ingot has been created.

‘It does work! Was this what the orange color meant?’

Rusty delved deeper into his newly discovered ability to use bronze ingots from his stash tab. He also had ingots of copper and tin, which he could combine to form the bronze necessary for repairing his body. Only after combining the two metals could he use them, as copper and tin didn't integrate into his body ind...

Runesmith: Chapter 431 – Research And Lecture Prep.

‘This was quite a day… Now what? Where do I even begin?"

Roland asked himself after leaving Thorne’s office. The hearing was over, and he had given his sister the small spider golem to keep her safe. Everything seemed to have finally calmed down, but he was not making any significant progress in his research. Then there was the Headmistress who gave him some strange research papers, implying that what he was searching for was within a person's soul and not just mana, something tha...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 09 – Using The Terrain.

“Come here, you undead bastards!”

“We don’t have all day! Come here!”

Shouts of people filled a gloomy underground crypt. Many tombstones with strange markings started releasing foul-smelling fumes as bodies of undead creatures burst forth from the ground underneath. Tens of them emerged instantly, looking in the direction of where the shouting was coming from. The moment they spotted the few humans there, they started charging instantly.

In the dim light of flicke...

Runesmith: Chapter 430 – Treehouse.

“The Headmistress wants to see me?”

“Apparently so, I’m just as surprised as you but this just shows how impactful this incident really was. I’ll give you some advice, don’t let the Headmistress wait, she is a very busy person…”

“Alright, I'll go see her then…but first…”

“Yes?”

“Where can I find her?”

“Ah, I almost forgot, you’re still new here. The Headmistress's office is located in the Central Mage Tower.”

“Central...

Heavy Metal : Chapter 08 – Going Down.

‘Maybe those guys… but there are so many of them…’

‘I should probably wait for a chance to present itself like last time!’

‘...’

‘Why do they always wander around in large groups?’

‘... How am I going to get stronger in an environment like this!’

Rusty continued to talk to himself with an annoyed tone while hiding behind a large pillar. His ability to resist the voice had increased, and he could now even look at the adventurers without bei...

Runesmith: Chapter 429 – Student Dormitory.

“Lucienne! What happened, you were gone for a whole day! The teachers wouldn’t tell me where you were!”

“Margaret, please calm down, I can’t breathe…”

“Oh my, silly me~”

Margaret released Lucienne from her tight embrace, her eyes filled with genuine concern. Lucienne, although slightly annoyed by the suffocating hug, couldn't help but appreciate Margaret's genuine worry. The other two girls in the room moved closer as they were quite curious as to where the...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 07 – Soul Forge.

“The Soul Forge, had I known you possessed a blessing like this, Hero, I would have struck you down much sooner.”

“That's the price you pay for being an overconfident oaf, Demon King.”

“Despite such a gift, you still ended up getting backstabbed by your close aides. That's quite an accomplishment for someone with so many talents. Quite an accomplishment in itself, don’t you think?”

“Really? I recall a certain demon army inexplicably retreating, allowing me to...

Runesmith: Chapter 428 – After The Hearing.

Roland paced nervously in the hallway, his mind racing with thoughts about what might happen next. The outcome of the hearing could have far-reaching consequences not only for Viola but also for Lucienne and even Roland himself. The mages inside were deliberating, and the tension hung in the air.

“Are they still in there? It's been an hour already. They must really not be sure about what to do if it's taken this long.”

Arion joined him outside; though not a part of the judges,...

Runesmith: Chapter 427 – The Hearing.

“What are you waiting for, get over here!”

Viola's eyes blazed with fury as she stormed towards Lucienne. The imposing figure of her Baskerville Knight loomed beside her, ready to enforce her will. The other students and enforcers in the hallway instinctively moved aside, creating a path for the impending clash.

“...”

“Did you really think you could escape the consequences, Lucienne?”

Viola sneered, her voice dripping with disdain.

“I'll make sure y...

Heavy Metal : Chapter 05 – Playing Dead.

Congratulations you have gained a level.

Congratulations you have gained a level.

The ‘First Kill’ title has been acquired.

Basic Power Thrust has leveled up.

In the blink of an eye, he had reached level nine after slaying just one human. The man emitted various strange noises as he was being stabbed, but eventually, it was over. Rusty felt quite pleased with himself, having instantly gained two le...

Runesmith: Chapter 426 – Before The Hearing.

“Hey, have you heard?”

“No, did something happen?”

“Indeed, the Lady from the Castellane household didn’t return to her dorm room, everyone has been talking about it!”

“She hasn’t returned? Did she elope with one of the seniors and run away?”

The news of Viola Castellane's disappearance spread like wildfire among the students of the Institute. Rumors and speculations flourished, filling the air with hushed conversations in corridors and dormitories....

Heavy Metal : Chapter 04 – First Kill.

“Are you sure we should be here?”

“Yeah, don’t worry, it’s just the first floor, there are only goblins, skeletons, and rusty armors around; they are all trash.”

“I don’t know… wouldn’t it be better to go to an easier dungeon? The monsters from the lower levels sometimes travel to the upper ones…”

“Hah, that very rarely happens, and if something does, I’ll just protect you.”

An older teenager responded to a girl who was slightly younger th...

Runesmith: Chapter 425 - Getting Into More Trouble.

‘I went and did it … Well, no use crying over spilled milk now; I’ll have to take responsibility for my own actions.’

Roland thought to himself while looking at the mostly terrified students before him. After showing the passed-out half-elven magic swordsman, they quickly changed their tune. Their ringleader, Viola, had passed out, and the two other ladies were trying to wake her up. It also seemed that the girl had managed to soil herself during the commotion. He might have ove...
