“Runesmith Overlord? Is this because I defeated that lich… but it doesn’t look that insidious…also what is with this naming sense again, Master Runesmith High-Lord?”
Roland was stuck looking at the sprite that was ahead of the lengthily named Master Runesmith High-Lord class. Though it made sense that if the Master Runesmith was the base class, then the prestige variant had to keep the ‘Master’ part of the name. Then there was the Runesmith Overlord class that lacked this ...

“This subject greets the Supreme General!”
“I hope you bring good word, otherwise my father won’t be pleased…”
“My liege…”
The moment of silence caused the man sitting on a throne made of green jade to frown. The chamber he found himself in was vast, and many guards were forced to spread out as if it were empty. At this moment they were slowly reaching for their swords as if ready to punish the messenger of bad news.
“Fine, talk.”

“What is happening?”
Suddenly a loud thunderclap was heard by the ten nascent soul masters from the lily factions. The clouds above them started circling around their gathering location and changing color. Soon a strange deep yellow glow that resembled gold appeared in the middle. Inside they noticed a person, he had his hands behind his back and was standing on the clouds like a ferocious sword.
“It’s the Golden Dragon? Was he part of this meeting?”
Everyone looke...

A wall was slowly sliding open to reveal a large cavern. There was no sun above them as they were deep underground but the place was brightly illuminated by various sources. One was the lava pit in the middle while many other glowing crystals in the walls added the rest. The group of seven dwarven adventurers started rushing through, their eyes almos...

‘It’s similar to a defensive formation but entirely made out of mana, must be Argus’ handiwork. I don’t think anyone besides me would be able to make it through this barrier without forcing it.’
Zhang Dong was inspecting the mana structure that surrounded the whole area. While the walls were high they could not halt anyone that was capable of flying. For this purpose, large barriers were always created to protect large settlements like this from all sides. This one was quite p...

A large group of people pushed towards the dungeon entrance as if there had never been a tier 3 monster there. Roland was looking at the people pushing each other out of the way in an almost frantic frenzy. Arthur and Aurdhan ran out of excuses to make the people wait. There was also the problem of many adventurers running out of money along with people in the city. No one could afford to let the dungeon sit there without adventurers in it. The whole city depended o...

It was a war map created to document their progress and also for making strategies. Not that long ago their first failure had transpired as they weren’t able to ...

Zhang Dong looked at a piece of paper on which he was drawing a face on. He was aiming for something calming yet powerful but the design that he came up with was giving him the creeps.

When thinking about the next design he drew up a humanoid shape made o...

Bernir and Roland were standing in an empty mining area. The bubbling sounds from the middle lava pool filled the area while the two remained silent. There was a small problem with this situation, the adventurers were supposed to stay with them. It was possible for some unknown tier 3 monster to appear out of the blu...

Zhang Dong had quickly moved towards a mining area previously owned by one of the sects in the Heavenly Crane Sect’s region. It looked like a giant gorge with a river running for hundreds of kilometers to the north. The cliffs were steep and looked like swiss cheese with all the holes that were mined out. Simple planks were i...
