At dusk, in the pizza shop.
Having just finished watching the last match of the day, Lucas brought the beastkin girls to the pizza shop for dinner. Of course, it was mainly because the girls wanted to come to the pizza shop, perhaps seeking some lively atmosphere.
“That number five fighter was way too weak! She got knocked out with just one punch!” Annie waved her slender arm and shouted. “If it were me, I could knock her out with one hit!”

The woman gently set down the meal and retreated with a modest gait. Her movements were clearly different from just a moment ago. The food laid out on the table consisted of a vegetable salad, toasted bread, cream stew, and a meat pie. To be honest, I had ordered Course A, but it felt somewhat ambiguous to call it a course meal. Still, I remembered it being cheaper than the other dishes and reasonably tasty.
It certainly wasn’t a lively atmosphere for chatting and eating. N...

It might take some time before it’s ready for actual sale,” Lucas replied, shaking his head. The items developed by the research department would only be put on the market once the latest generation of products was ready; they wouldn't release the older generation until then.
This is called technological accumulation, similar to the fruit phone company on Earth. When they released the iPhone 6, they...

2024-11-04 13:36:08 +0000 UTC View PostIt was after a month since Lucas had introduced boxing, and in that short time, the sport had captivated many people. People like Bryan, Joe, and Ryan had become regulars in the ring, sparring whenever they could. Of course, Bryan and Joe were the types who lost every match, yet they never gave up, coming back for more after each defeat.
Eventually, they even started training their own boxers to spar in the ring. This seemingly intense sport became wildly popular, and crowds ...

She couldn't understand why she was feeling so anxious, shy after she and Lucas had done so much stuff together before. She and him didn’t get to have sex together before because of interruptions many times they decided to do it. But she could feel that had something to do with Lucas as he was giving her time.

"Almost there, almost... the divine realm, here I come!"
He held the dried fruit over the flame, roasting it until a wisp of black smoke appeared. Then, with a sudden motion, he leaned forward and took a deep breath, inhaling the black smo...

Just as Freya was about to draw her sword and rush out to take down those people, she suddenly stopped, her eyes wide in disbelief at the strange turn of events unfolding before her.

And since it was highly likely that Han-Byeol and I would part ways anyway, I figured it wouldn’t matter much if I spoke my mind. If I’d known it would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have said what I did in front of the cabin. Though I felt some regret, it was clear that our feelings had already changed.

The cities of Hall Plain are structured like a web. Since the locations of cities vary across different continents, each city performs similar yet distinct roles. If you look at them individually, they might seem disconnected, but from a broader perspective, it's clear that they are interconnected and work together in an organic system, fulfilling essential tasks for one another.
In the Northern Continent, where my party and I currently reside, there are numerous cities. The ...

“What did you say, sister?” She finally couldn’t hold back and asked.

Freya pulled her foot out of the snow, which had piled up to her knees. After traveling for two to three days, she was finally approaching Blade City.
“Whew…” Freya exhaled a puff of warm air, her face showing signs of exhaustion. She hadn’t slept well at night; it was just too cold, even with her thick fur coat wrapped around her.

The same people who struggled with simple long-distance runs in the first week were now casually running over 20 laps with smiles on their faces. Seeing everyone complete the training without a single dropout brought a satisfied smile to my face.
By this point, we had about 80 players left. Having over 80 graduates from the Player Academy is quite rare, an...

Being held so tightly, feeling that heated chest and the unabashed obsession, Fumika Ogawa immediately felt weak all over, her legs almost unable to support her. The last bit of her rationality was used to say this.
They were in the shopping district; although it was relatively old and not very bustling, people still walked by from time to time, making it quite dangerous.
After entering the training camp, the instructors signaled the start of intense training from the very next day. Within just the first week of firing that signal flare, the North Continent Player Academy had already cemented its infamous reputation. Out of 130 participants, a staggering 17—over 10%—had given up on the training and dropped out. Notably, 15 of these were players specializing in close and long-range combat.
It’s important to emphasize that the North Contin...

“Huh? What’s that? Deputy Director Aiden is up there!”
“And so is Chris, the captain of the City lord’s guards. What are those round things on their hands? They look like they're wrapped in layers of cloth.”
"Humans living in this Hall Plain can be broadly categorized into two groups. First, there are the residents who originally lived in the Hall Plain. Then there are the players who came through the angels. However, it's a misconception to think that all players are the same."

Mina slowly opened her eyes and saw Lucas's handsome face. He was sleeping soundly, and she couldn't help but stare at him in a daze.
She was now his woman. Thinking about how gentle he had been last night made her feel shy, but also proud.
Yes, Mina never expected that her young master was also experiencing it for the first time. It took him some time to figure things out... like two rookies fumbling around together.
As expected, Sayuki Ogawa couldn't come up with anything. Frustrated, she quickly replied.
