RPG 3 Most rifts are divided into chapters. Chapter 1, Chapter 2, Chapter 3, Chapter 4… Usually, it ends at Chapter 4 or 5, but sometimes there are rifts that go beyond Chapter 7. Anyway, that’s not the important part. ‘The city defense earlier was Chapter 1.’ The battle I fought as the mercenary Bjorn … Read more
RPG 2 The clash of steel on steel. Cries of pain and angry shouts. And then… Fsshhhhh—! A fountain of blood that obscured my entire vision. “Shit, my eyes!” I quickly wiped my eyes with one hand to clear my vision. At the same time, I urgently scanned my surroundings. Unlike the coming-of-age ceremony, there … Read more
RPG 1 We never really discussed whether we should call the boss rooms we entered through the Guardian statues “rifts,” and strictly speaking, they weren’t. I remember the mages mentioning that they couldn’t detect any of the usual traces you’d expect from a real rift portal on those entrances. So I just left it at … Read more
Boss Run(5) Fortress of Souls, the unique rift of the 5th floor. Here the guardian appears as a maze type boss called Soulkeeper Hausiel. To be honest, this guy’s Phase 2 isn’t all that dangerous. Depending on your character’s luck stat, the number of chests you need to open varies, but usually, after opening about … Read more

Second, the user gains access to all of that ordinary monster’s active skills. However, among the rifts on the fifth floor, there is one oddity: the Rift of Light. And … Read more
Boss Run (2) Amelia Rainwhales. A highly talented individual who can use aura and is a competent guide. Her class is… “Probably something like a Clone Thief.” Anyway, she is currently at level 8, and has one empty Essence slot. It was originally full, but she erased one right before coming down to the first … Read more
Boss Run 1 For explorers, knowledge is a valuable asset. That’s why they never give away their experiences and information for free. This doesn’t mean they’re stingy or petty, though. It’s just that this culture is deeply ingrained in the explorers industry. Take the great navigator Peekma for example. Or Lemenin, the Abyss Seeker. One … Read more
Original(4) I stepped through the portal that had appeared beside the Troll statue and entered a new space. It didn’t take long to figure out where I was. The cold seeping through the soles of my shoes. The icy walls reflected white light like transparent glass. ‘…The glacier cave.’ The place where I met Mr. … Read more
Original 3 Judging by how quickly he changed the subject, it was clear I wasn’t the only one who felt awkward after the duke’s thanks. “Anyway, that’s the end of my story.
