Runesmith: Chapter 607 – Taking Up A Defensive Position.

Multiple decahedron-shaped devices hovered through the air, glowing brightly as they released concentrated blue beams of mana. The beams collided with an invisible wall that did not ripple or falter against the intense magical light. After a moment, the floating constructs ceased their assault an...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 185 – New Shop In Town.

“P-please send our regards to the master blacksmith.”

“We will, please come again!”

“You finally look like a proper adventurer, Oliver. Even your boots fit!”

“Hey, what is that supposed to mean!”

One of the girls laughed and gave the young spearman a playfu...

Runesmith: Chapter 606 – Time To Wake up.

Sounds of battle filled the grand chamber, but most eyes were drawn to a scream that was not entirely human. After a cultist’s mask split apart, his body convulsed violently. The half-formed limbs snapped back into his torso as if dragged by invisible hooks. His flesh writhed and then collapsed...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 184 – Too Much Money.

“Thank the gods, we made it out of there in one piece, Rika.”

“Yeah, my heart almost stopped when they started looking at us. That was really scary.”

“Yeah.”

Two people were talking quietly together. One of them was holding a small satchel that clearly had a spatial ...

Runesmith: Chapter 605 – Shield Armor.

“Abyssal resonance detected…”

“Activating anti-illusion protocols…”

“Initializing wake-up protocol. Please stand by…”

Thin lines of text flickered across Roland’s visor. His eyes remained still at first, but then a faint flash appeared, followed by a sound on...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 183 – The Quiet Life.

Craftsmen hoisted a sign onto what resembled a storefront. With strong hammer strikes, they fixed it in place. Rusty stood at the edge of the street with arms crossed, motionless. The sound of nails driving into wood echoed through the quiet street until at last the workers stepped back and nodde...

Runesmith: Chapter 604 – Silent Victory?

“There he is. Get ready and remember what I told you.”

“Yes, Mother.”

Ivan nodded slightly as the door to the assembly hall began to open. The nobles around him turned their attention toward the entrance, with one exception: his wife. The duchess’s daughter-in-law lingered a...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 182 – Home Repair.

The sound of his chisel biting into steel echoed faintly in the Soul Forge. A pale blue light spread across the walls as the enchantment took shape before the craftsman of metal. Bit by bit, the magic circle formed until the task was complete. Rusty lifted the sword high and studied the reflectio...

Runesmith: Chapter 603 – Duke Arrives.

“Everyone thinks I am a fool. Julius and that bastard, every single one of them refuses to take me seriously.”

Ivan stormed across the room like a caged animal, his steps uneven, his hands still stained with wine. His face was twisted, his jaw clenched so tightly that the veins in his n...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 181 – Re-Enchanting.

“Now then… what shall I start out with first? Any advice?”

Rusty stood in front of his makeshift forge in the basement of his home. The fire was unlit, and the room was dim, but as a living armor monster, he did not care. The only two sources of light were his two guides, who were hov...

Runesmith: Chapter 602 – Auras Clash?

The sound was like a hammer striking an anvil: sharp, clear, and far louder than anyone expected. Sparks burst in a violent spray as Hadrian’s strike was knocked off course. His mace twisted away, the head gouging a shallow groove into the packed sand instead of Roland’s chest. For an instant...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 180 – Silvery Evolution.

“Now that we have some time, can we talk about that?”

“By that, what do you mean?”

“I mean, when you attacked that adventurer. You seemed to lose control, and your body even began to change.”

“I… I don’t know. It felt like something inside me snapped, as if the...

Runesmith: Chapter 601 – Rusty Duel.

The clash between the brothers continued while everyone watched from the sides. The noble ladies hid their faces behind gem-encrusted fans, and the gentlemen smiled without bothering to conceal their interest. This was one of the moments they loved the most, when rivals fought and turned it into ...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 179 – Darkness Takes Hold.

Rusty’s steps echoed as he followed the thin trail of blood across the cavern floor. It seemed to have begun on the ceiling, droplets falling and then leading behind the last remaining rock formation. His earlier triumph turned into unease, and he began to call out.

“Gleam?”

He ...

Runesmith: Chapter 600 – Noble Cat Fight.

“Wait, aren’t those four…”

“Yes, they are. Please be quiet, or you will get us in trouble.”

The nobles turned their faces toward a strange scene unfolding. Four women were speaking together, each well known and prominent within her own circle. Behind them stood small group...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 178 – No Mercy.

“What are these things, and why are they in this part of the dungeon?” 

A woman screamed while firing a few arrows into what seemed to be living suits of armor. Even though the monsters were easily punctured, they kept rising again.

Runesmith: Chapter 599 – Ignored By All.

“How does it look?”

“The place seems secured quite well. I don’t think anything is getting in, and we probably will not be getting out either.”

Roland whispered, careful to keep his voice low so that no one would catch on to t...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 177 – Sneak Attack.

Rusty stopped mid-step when his visor caught a faint ripple of mana in the air. The silence felt unnatural. Normally, his steps would echo faintly against the wet stone, yet now the sound was muffled by something. It seemed to be a spell similar to...

Runesmith: Chapter 598 – Gear Restrictions.

“Lord Nathaniel Pembroke and Lady Eleanor Pembroke.”

The herald’s voice rang out across the wide stone courtyard, echoing against the towering walls of the inner keep. The main gate of Valerian Castle loomed ahead. It was a fortress ...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 176 – Easy Mining.

The strange monster’s head spun a full half-turn, gears clanking, before snapping back into place with a sound like chains breaking. Its drill arm whirred to life, spitting sparks as it scraped across the ground. The other limb, a grotesque tangle...

"I didn’t think we would get such a good view of the gate."

Roland looked out into the distance, where a large gate had been built. Such places were usually considered strategic military locations, but this one seemed to have been deve...

Heavy Metal: Chapter 175 – Precious Item.

“GAHhhh!”

“Ha! Did you see that? Straight in that stupid eye!”

A monster howled as an arrow struck its bulbous eye. Behind the cover of a boulder, a small party of three huddled together. Their weapons and armor were worn and b...

Taking a break, part 2: Electric Boogaloo.

Just like I mentioned two months ago and again last month when I took the first week off, I will be doing the same this month. Strangely enough, this means the next chapters will land on the 15th and 16th, just like last month.

See ya all in a week then. 👋

Gleam wiggled on Rusty’s shoulder as the two descende...

Runesmith: Chapter 595 – Nightly Visit.

"Well, that was unexpected. Sorry, without my golems, it's hard to predict who might be nearby."

Roland spoke while glancing at the tea house in the distance. He could tell that the people they had just encountered had gone up to the third flo...

"Take care, Mr. Edmund. Remember, you need to pay for the permit first and also cover the registration fee for your craftsman friend."

Runesmith: Chapter 594 – Unplanned Meeting.

Several figures slipped into the shadows, hiding from view. Not far from them, a group of five moved through the middle district of the castle. They appeared unaware of the hidden watchers, their attention fixed on landmarks such as the large fo...

Rusty strode forward, his armored frame clanking softly as he made his way down the cobbled path toward the merchant district. Gleam perched comfortably on his shoulder with her legs tucked beneath her shiny carapace, her antennae twitchin...
