Wild Horse (1) Swishhhhh-! I drenched my head in warm water and scrubbed my skin with soap, almost like I was scrubbing off the grime. And after some time had passed. When I came out of the bathroom and changed into comfortable clothes, it finally hit me. I was back home. As I roughly towel-dried … Read more
Us(5) Baron Bjorn Jandel. There was not the slightest tremor in the Marquis’ eyes as he said the name. If Erwin or Amelia had looked at me with such eyes, I would have honestly confessed all my wrongdoings before getting scolded further. That’s how confident his gaze was. But… The Marquis is different from those … Read more
Us(4) Boom-! A group of knights burst through the door while I was napping on the sofa. Even though I had just woken up, the knight’s words clearly registered in my ears. “Rihen Schuiz, you are under arrest on suspicion of conspiring with Noark.” Colluding, huh… This is likely just an excuse to capture me. … Read more
Us(3) 「The labyrinth has been closed.」 「Your character is being transported to Raphdonia.」 After nearly two months, I was finally greeted by the sunlight of the city. Perhaps because I had spent so much time in the dark waters of Atlante, the light felt even more intense. ‘People really do need sunlight after all.’ Like … Read more
Us(2) “Mister!!” As soon as I finished verifying the essence, Erwin appeared from a distance. It seemed she was leading the rest of the group and bringing them back. She must have been worried since I was taking so long… Even though I told her to stay put until I returned. “Is everything finished? Are … Read more
Us(1) What the heck, what’s he doing here? At first, I didn’t even have such thoughts. Thump, thump, thump. My heart was pounding harder than when I fought the Deep Sea Giant, and my head felt like an eight-tonne truck had slammed into the back of it at full speed. I came to my senses … Read more
Atlante (4) The undersea island, Atlanté. In fact, this part was the most difficult part in the development of my Shield Barbarian character. I didn’t call it the Second Core Essence for nothing. Normally, by the time I reached here, my setup would only consist of Level 4 essences or lower. Stormgush’s [Origin], Bayon’s [Transcendence], … Read more
Atlanté (3) The undersea island, Atlanté. Located in the far eastern sea region of Grand Rock, it is where my second core essence, following [Gigantification], is. Finding this place isn’t particularly difficult. A ship capable of sailing to Grand Rock. An ability to freely dive into the deep sea—whether through magic, spirits, or skills doesn’t … Read more
Atlante (2) After Amelia joined, we spent some time farming around the area to gather supplies. “Sailor, steer the ship.” “Where should we go…?” “To Fione Island.” After the naval battle was over, we headed back to the treasure island. Continuing to the next island without maintenance seemed almost impossible. In fact, just getting here … Read more
Atlante (1) The three ships stopped at a distance of about 400 meters. It seems they’re wary of Erwin’s arrow attacks… “Erwin, can you intercept from this distance?” “Yes. But at this distance, they usually react.” Well, they have a mage on their side. They’d have plenty of time to respond before the arrows hit— … Read more
