Hidden Story(7) The small three-person boat cut violently through the water, boosted by all kinds of buffs from our professional navigator. 「Auyen Roklov has cast [Favorable Wind].」 「Auyen Roklov has cast [Trade Route].」 「Auyen Roklov has cast [Ghost Ship]…」 In terms of speed alone, this boat was not much different from the main ship we … Read more
The question itself was nothing out of the ordinary. After all, the existence of evil spirits was common knowledge in Raphdonia. But this was someone from the past asking about them… As I hesitated, Arta’s eyes narrowed sharply. [An answer that takes that much thought is bound to be full of lies.] He didn’t say … Read more
Hidden Story 5 NPC or a Non-Player Character. As far as the game was concerned, Arta was clearly an NPC. Then again, calling him an NPC might not be entirely accurate.

Hidden Story 4 The guild master had lost all his hair. It hadn’t gradually receded or thinned into bald patches. One moment it was there. The next, it was gone.
