The usual white room was now filled with three other people, so James was no longer alone. This white room, which always felt silent to him, was now filled with chatter from Kaina, Anderson, and Sanders.
“Wow! We finished the boss without any casualties!” Kaina pumped her fist. 2025-02-14 04:35:23 +0000 UTC View Post
“Listen here, girl. When I say I don't need help, I mean it. I don’t want you to help me. Understand?” James raised his voice at the girl.
“But we are in this together. We should all help each other!” Kaina answered. She didn't know that EXP and coins were split among all...

“No need. System, can you upgrade my war axe?” James muttered while equipping his war...
2025-02-11 03:18:52 +0000 UTC View PostKaina suddenly kowtowed and begged, “Please, help us!”
Seeing her like that threw James for a loop. He wasn’t from Japan and had never seen anyone beg him like this before. James was a pushover—he had bowed his head to anyone, including his former boss. However, he had...
2025-02-08 09:16:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Why am I not surprised? Deserts," James groaned as a vast sea of sand lay before him. It stretched beyond the horizon, with some stone structures resembling Stonehenge in the distance. James quickly wore his cloak. The heat that stung him immediately dissipated, replaced by cool, comfortable air...
2025-02-08 09:14:34 +0000 UTC View PostThe boss lunged at Nana. Thanks to Hiro's doping skill, she was agile enough to match its speed. As the massive sword came crashing down, she sidestepped effortlessly, evading the attack with ease.
The shield came next, and Nana leaped aside just in time. As the boss chased af...

2025-02-05 05:56:10 +0000 UTC View Post“So, what is this class about?” James leaned on the golden portal while resting. He was now level 40. He had certainly come a long way.
“Am I halfway to max level?”

2025-02-05 03:23:09 +0000 UTC View Post“As expected. I can’t fight underwater without being able to breathe in it,” James muttered the next morning as he dived into the lake.
Now that he was comfortable underwater, he could finally admire the scenery. His normal eye was obscured by the water, but his Mana Eyes allow...
2025-02-05 03:09:26 +0000 UTC View PostJames gazed at the vast lake surrounding an island in the distance. Multiple shark fins slicing through the water discouraged him from even attempting to dip his foot in. Nevertheless, he was in no hurry.
Turning away, James walked inland—only to be met with an invisible wall about...
2025-02-05 03:01:15 +0000 UTC View Post“I fell asleep!” James woke up with a start as the sun shone into his eyes. The realization that he had fallen asleep in the middle of a dungeon without cover sent him reeling. He immediately looked to his left and right but found nobody.
“Shit. That was dangerous,” James mut...
2025-02-02 10:07:25 +0000 UTC View Post“Shit!” James cursed. The deer formed a formation as they trotted toward James. The deer bellowed once more, its crystal antlers shone in the setting sun. Through his mana eyes, James could see a green glow swirling around it, enveloping two deer that charged at him.
James almost...
2025-02-02 09:56:06 +0000 UTC View Post“Hm? Where are the lungs?” James scanned the body parts listed by his Chimera skill. The lungs were nowhere to be found.
[The lungs of the Flaming Tiger Lord are the same as those of the other tigers. We took the liberty of hiding them from you.]
“They’re the same? It l...
2025-02-02 09:40:14 +0000 UTC View Post“That’s the boss, right?” Hiro gazed at the savanna before him, looking directly at the huge carnivorous-looking deer with rainbow crystals as its antlers.
[Yes, that is correct. That is a boss monster. If you defeat it, you may proceed to the next floor.]

Conquering dungeons was mandatory for every soldier and adventurer. If dungeons were left unchecked, they would mature and cause a dungeon break—an event where monsters escape from the dungeon and wreak havoc on their surroundings. The incident where Elysia was created as a lich was a direc...
"Alright! We found the curse seed!" Jamie, the squad leader, raised his arm in celebration. His squad members cheered alongside him.
"So, who's going to destroy the seed?" Sapphire asked, stepping closer to the black, pulsating stone.

2025-01-31 00:33:39 +0000 UTC View Post“Ugh… I chose the Rat King’s feet.”
James finally made up his mind. He was hesitant. Increasing his arm power was important to him. The fact started to dawn on him how important stats were in weapon skill clashes. However, having better feet was crucial to him now. Wit...
2025-01-29 12:45:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe damp air crept up to his scales. The squeaking sound echoed through the cave, marking where the Ratmen had gathered. With his trusty axe at the ready, James marched on.
Soon, he found a clearing. This time, no gates, no inscription, no bunker. Just a clearing, like an aren...
2025-01-29 12:41:23 +0000 UTC View Post“Chest! Where are you!” James muttered to himself as he impatiently looked high and low for a treasure chest.
He was so close to reaching 1,000 coins.
The horde that escaped earlier went north of the cave James had entered, but the path branched. James chose the othe...
2025-01-28 12:39:51 +0000 UTC View Post[Would you like to repair your axe for 15 coins?]
The system prompted James when he picked up his axe. The axe was chipped and deformed in several places due to the acid from the monstrous rat. Of course, James agreed. He now had 750 coins left.

2025-01-24 15:45:03 +0000 UTC View PostJames brought out his crossbow. Like a meteor, golden light drew a straight line toward the dark abomination. Like a star sinking into the abyss, the light was eaten by the mass of darkness incarnate. Squeaking sounds echoed as the beast charged toward James.
James took flight. The c...

2025-01-24 05:27:04 +0000 UTC View PostFour months after James’s escape, news of survivors enduring the dungeon trial began circulating. Those who accepted the invitation were mostly outcasts in society—criminals in prison, those with huge debts, those who joined terrorist groups, and those who lived in war zones. They had ...
