"Thump thump!"
As their eyes met, Hephaestus’s heart skipped a beat.
Staring into those blood-red eyes, a strange emotion welled up inside her. Unconsciously, she took a step forward, closing the already short distance between them.

Thankfully, no one had seen her like this, or they’d be shocked by her current state.

Judging from what Goddess-sama had just done, she’d definitely misunderstood what he meant.

Of course, he also had a lot he wanted to say to Hephaestus. So he walked over to the sofa and sat down beside her.

Bell was slightly struck by Welf’s ideals. In a peaceful world, that kind of thinking might work—but in a world as chaotic as this one, it was just naive nonsense.
Survival, and the drive to improve one’s life—that’s what pushed most advent...

He moved cautiously, blending into the crowd like any other adventurer as he entered the building.
Since it was the Guild’s busiest time of day, his presence among the crowd made it difficult for anyone to notice him.
On the tenth floor of the Dungeon, Bell stood alone, blade in hand, facing a group of Orcs.
Right now, what Bell needed most was to sharpen his “technique”—to elevate it to match his current level of strength, or even surpass it.
At present, the only technique he had fully grasp...
