Spring Also Comes to Mount Hua (1) A boy, who appeared to be barely sixteen or seventeen years old, was laboriously climbing the mountain. Beneath the tightly wrapped cloth on his forehead were thick eyebrows, cold, sharp eyes and firmly pressed lips, which revealed his stubborn nature at first glance. Suddenly, the boy raised his … Read more
Prologue The endless stretch of mountains looked like rolling waves. Along a narrow mountain path connecting these waves of earth, twenty Taoist priests walked in silence. It was still early spring, and the cold wind brushed past their bodies. Shivering slightly, the priests tightened their robes around themselves and hunched their shoulders. Suddenly, the middle-aged … Read more
Skull Island (2) The hidden piece of Skull Island is very simple. If you keep roaming the map and continue hunting, you can encounter a monster called the “Key Keeper” at a very low probability. It’s like a mid-boss, but not particularly strong, barely a level four creature, though its attack power alone was closer … Read more
Skull Island (1) We wandered aimlessly around the centre of the island. Crunch! Crunch! Crunch-squeak! Of course, we took out any monsters that appeared along the way. The only reason I said we were wandering aimlessly was because we hadn’t engaged in any proper battles. “……This is boring.” “Yeah… I’m starting to think doing paperwork … Read more

There are plenty over there.” A-Qing stepped outside and … Read more
Friend(10) A-qing blinked. “Mocking you? Me?” “How dare you! How dare you!” Judging by the trembling around her eyes, she seemed genuinely furious. A-Qing tilted her head. What? Why is she angry? Could it be that the outhouse really was that disgusting? “You shamelessly took the money and now you’re wagging your tail again? With … Read more
Friend 6 A-Qing couldn’t let a baseless rumor ruin her friend’s chances at marriage. She immediately launched a proactive offensive to prevent any future trouble. “Oh, is that from personal experience?’ You sound very knowledgeable about matters of the heart.” “Uh… It’s a story I heard from my uncle.” “It’d be nice if things ended … Read more
Red Ocean (3) Whenever someone is faced with a decision, their first instinct is to imagine possible scenarios. The extent to which they immerse themselves in these scenarios may vary, but it’s a universal tendency. My imagination, for instance, was running wild. “Five days over the estimated arrival date…!” The mobility of Teams 1 and … Read more
Red Ocean (3) Treasure invites disaster. It was a saying that held true in everyday life, and even more so within the labyrinth.
