Whirlpool (3) “Ah, no…!” Those were the man’s last words. Amelia didn’t even bother to listen as she stomped down, smashing his head like a dropped watermelon. Splat. It felt a bit anticlimactic. Despite such a fierce struggle, it ended this way. “Barbarian.” Amelia’s attention soon shifted to me. “You’re badly hurt.” What nonsense. “And … Read more
Whirlpool (2) The boundary between life and death. Sometimes it is drawn slowly, other times in an instant. For explorers, it’s usually the latter. Most injuries can be healed with potions or divine power. Unless it’s a fatal wound or the team is annihilated, survival is typically possible. But there are exceptions. “Please, wake up.” … Read more
Whirlpool (1) Shock and surprise. Separate from these emotions, my mind analyzed the information conveyed through sight. ‘Drake.’ First of all, Drakes don’t live on this island. So how was this possible? The answer lay in the conversation from a moment ago. [Carmilla and Belverson. Those two scoundrels must be behind this.] Two plunderers from … Read more
Defense (4) After coming to my senses, the first thing I did was apologize. “Mage, I’m sorry about earlier.” Hans J, who had nearly been strangled to death by a teammate during the battle, looked displeased but accepted the apology. He knew it too. If discord arose in this group, his life would also be … Read more
Defense (3) Hans Aulok. From now on, he will be remembered as Hans J. “H-Hans…?!” “Hans, you say…?” The moment he revealed his name, Raven and Aynar flinched and fixed their gazes on him.

Defense (2) The eastern coast, dotted with reefs. The place where our boat was shattered by the rough waves. “We’ve arrived.” The beach, already half-submerged in water, was teeming with monsters. Ranemut warriors and shamans, the typical sea monsters of the 6th floor. A horned conch that spewed poison from a distance. Garbel, which has … Read more
Defense (1) Winix Carmilla. After treating her injured eye with a potion, she looked at her brother with an irritated gaze. He, too, had restored his severed arm with a potion. “Ugh, if you had done your job properly, this wouldn’t have happened!” “Don’t you think you were too hasty?” “Hasty? Do you think we’ll … Read more
Farune Island (4) The sea was raging with fierce waves. Currently, Alluva Raven was flying above it. For the first time in ages, she was shouting at the top of her lungs. “Mr. Urichfried! Hang in there! Just a little further and you’ll reach the shore!” Below, she could see only Abman clinging to a … Read more
Farune Island (3) A woman stared coldly at a particular spot. At the end of her gaze lay a man’s corpse. Guardweaver Drowes. The trash who tried to escape the consequences of his actions under a new name, living a second life. Yes, he definitely was. “Sister, why do you look like that?” Amelia unconsciously … Read more
Farune Island (2) Tobera Church’s priestess, Lairyn Ersina. Her account of the events goes like this. “We were exploring the island’s center when an unidentified team suddenly attacked us.” It was an ambush. A team of five members. Each of them was at least a rank 7 fighter, and Ersina’s team was on the brink … Read more
