"Has it started yet?"
"I think it was supposed to start after midday?"
"What are your thoughts on it?"
"I hope he gets what he deserves!"
A group of Albrook residents were gathered in front of the city hall where a significant event was about to take place. Today, a criminal named Ivor would be put on trial, and his fate would be decided by the city lord, Arthur Valerian. Many of the residents were unsure about the whole situation, feeling that it was being blown out o...

"Spread out, leave no stone unturned. The emperor's watchful eyes are upon us, and it is imperative that we complete this mission."
"But what if we stumble upon the Golden Dragon? Can we truly emerge victorious?"
"What did you say?"
An enraged elder swiftly delivered a resounding smack to the back of his comrade's head upon hearing his response. A vast multitude of cultivators floated in the air, surrounded by an armada of ships and beasts. They hailed from the Long Clan and...

“Is something wrong?”
“Well, I don’t know… have I been acting strange lately?”
“You mean stranger than usual?”
Roland glanced at Elodia, his lip turning downwards, as she started to chuckle. The two of them were finally able to relax after the recent events that had unfolded. The city was on the brink of a major transformation following the exposure of one of the crime bosses. Soon, Roland would have to fulfill his knightly duties by serving a...

"Well, that was rather underwhelming,"
Zhang Dong remarked.
"I agree. I'm sure that master could have provided valuable insights for our cultivation, Senior Brother."
"I'm just relieved it's finally over. And I can't help but feel that I've made more progress than I ever anticipated."
Liena added.
Zhang Dong nodded in agreement, acknowledging Liena and Qiang, who had joined him in stepping through the dimensional door. They had now reached the secure area of the ...

As they ascended to the final floor, a sense of anticipation and nervousness filled the air. They had come so far, faced countless challenges, and grown stronger with each trial. But what awaited them on the fiftieth floor? What final test would they have to overcome before they could continue their mission?
‘So this should be it? Just like the previous ten floors, this one is different…’
After crossing through floor forty-nine they arrived in a closed corridor. There was no...

‘Who is this person, was he trying to get me to attack?’
The beautiful woman pondered, her gaze fixed on the mana contract materializing in the air. The individual standing before her was supposed to be the city's Knight Commander, who had come to discuss important matters. Hidden beneath her disguise as one of the brothel owners in this growing city, she was actually the Master of the Thieves Guild. She was caught up in these negotiations by unfortunate circumstances.
There w...

Zhang Dong let out a weary sigh as he caught sight of the exit from this bizarre place. He had just scaled a colossal mountain, its surroundings nothing but a sea of corrosive acid. It felt as though they were trapped inside an enormous flask. In the center of it, all stood a towering mountain that they had to conquer before their flesh would be devoured by the acidic liquid. And as if that wasn't enough, they had to battle against hurricane-force winds and airborne creatures resembling harpi...

“Is there a problem, Sir Wayland? Did my Isis pique your interest? She is usually off the table but perhaps for such a man of stature, we could work something out~”
Madam Natasha couldn't help but chuckle as she observed Roland. His helmet was concealing his face and tipped in the direction of Isis who was actually using a completely different name. The truth was unveiled when he explored her hidden status, exposing her true identity.

So like I stated last month, I'll be taking that small break of around a week. I haven't looked at how the chapters will line up but think it's going to be past the 16th somewhere.
That's about it, with love your tired author.

“Hm… so this was the answer? How did you figure it out?”
“Well, Let’s say that I had a little helper…”
Zhang Dong responded, grabbing a book from a seemingly random section of the massive bookcase. The helper he referred to was Bob and his system. With his keen analytical skills, Zhang Dong swiftly identified the pattern necessary to solve this minor puzzle. This location lacked any obvious clues or shortcuts, instead demanding mental exertion.
Once the initial...

The sun began to set, casting a warm, golden glow over the bustling city streets. People hurried along, their footsteps echoing against the newly assembled cobblestone street. While they went about their daily lives amongst the crowd, a figure emerged, drawing the attention of those nearby.
What drew in their gazes was the gleaming crimson armor that reflected the rays of the red sun. Its polished surface reflected the colors of the surroundings, creating an even more mesmerizing specta...

“Thank the heavens…”
“Lure it over to the formation, we don’t have much time left!”

A man with a large horizontal scar on his face was shouting in a darkened corridor. The person he was having a one-sided conversation with looked at him as if he was some type of insect. The crime boss named Ivor found himself in a state of utter disbelief and confusion about this whole situation.
Just a moment ago he was sipping on expensive wine and no...

In a dimly lit cavern, four individuals found themselves frantically running away from shadowy monsters that lurked in the darkness. They clutched onto a single torch, its flickering flame providing the only source of light in the eerie underground space. The torch illuminated the rugged walls of the cavern, casting long shadows that danced and twisted with their every movement.
Their footsteps echoed throughout the cavern, creating an unnerving cacophony that mixed with the distant gro...

‘I should be able to take out a few petty criminals, without anyone getting hurt…’
Roland tried to pump himself up while slowly walking with around fifty armored men behind him. This would be his first actual time leading a larger group of people that wasn’t composed of wood. They weren’t going to war but anything could happen. Even though they were against untrained forces he needed to account for their levels.
Normally this would be a job he’d push into Gareth’s or...

“No it’s fine Patriarch, this weather isn’t affecting me at all.”

Zhang Zhi’s face was covered in sweat and his usual palace face had turned red from the prolonged sun coverage. They had been wandering through a sandy desert for about a week. There was nothing besides dunes of sand and blistering sun above them. For some reason the sun refused to go down, leaving them at its mercy.

A strange-looking gelatinous creature with a giant toothy skull inside its body was trying to squeeze through a constricting net made of metal. The body was attempting to squeeze through the gaps but a surprisingly sturdy thin energy filament kept it from escaping. Above in the air, a group of nascent soul masters were completing a grand technique that produced crackling lightn...

Two men were staring at each other while not exchanging any words. One of them was Wayland who was wearing his dark-crimson armor. Thanks to its bulky appearance he looked more comparable to the much taller and wider Guild Master. The giant of a man was part of the Goliath race and was still dwarfing Roland whose height had increased to two meters inside of this new armor.
Two unforeseen forces surrounded the two men which soon clashed against each other....
