After Faye and Hannah massacred the remaining monsters, we started leaving until we heard the loud sound of a scream./CREEEEK/‘It is pretty close, yet I didn’t even sense it. What is this?’Being a ranger, I trust my senses. However, I couldn’t even sense the presence of the source of the sound.“There is a goblin settlement close to this place. This voice is nothing but an illusion to intimidate monsters coming closer.”“A Goblin Shaman?”“Yes, there should be. Since only they are capable of using magic.”However, using the experience she had, Anya explained to us the source of the voice.‘I see. If that was illusion magic, then it makes sense why I was not able to feel the pressure since there wasn’t even something strong in the first place.’“Anyway, for the time being, we should check everything around, although I am pretty sure to enter the second stage of the dungeon, we need to first pass the goblin settlement.”Saying that we kept wandering.Of course, while standing, I was

“But, how did you know the weakness was the necklace.”“Well, different from the other Goblin Warriors, the one I attacked was not swinging its sword but more like chanting something, while whenever you attacked it, different from normal, he tried to protect the necklace, not its neck. From that, I deduced.”Immediately making up an excuse in a jiffy, I said.“I see. I never thought the Goblin Shaman was in between them, though.”“Well, Goblin Warriors were stronger than normal, so it must be buffing others. But I thought he was doing it from afar.”“Anyway, let’s proceed with the next stage. We will rest after passing the barrier and looting the basement.”Explaining this to the members of the party, we finished the first part of the raid, marking the end.Walking with the others, we reached the center of the goblin basement.A weird-looking statue of a tree spirit holding an orb.“This is the core of the first barrier.”Saying this, Anya immediately struck the arm of the statue, sev

Looking at the scene before me, I heard the system’s voice in my head.Albeit I was slightly dumbfounded by the scene, it was still manageable until a lot of information started pouring down into my head….“Urghk-““Darius!”/THUD/Although I was familiar with this sensation, not resting for a long time and exerting myself, coupled with the headache coming from, was enough to make me lose consciousness.The last thing I saw was startled Aleena running towards me.***Waking up, the first thing that welcomed me was a convulsing black ceiling.‘Ah, my head hurts.’“Darius, are you awake?”“Hannah.”‘Hmm, it seems we are in the car.’I thought, looking around.“You suddenly collapsed like that. We thought something had happened. Are you okay now?”“Yeah. I used a little bit too much mana than normal; it is probably because of that.”“Yes, you did. Your legs are swollen, as well.”“Well, we all know why that is.”Turning my head to Anya and Hari, I said.“Hahaha,

Jennie Cortez. Her life was always a mess. Being born as an orphan in a country that has a lot of corruption, she needed to feed herself in the midst of all those vultures trying to take a bite from her. In a place where she hadn’t had anyone to depend on, she always tried her best to survive. To see a better world than she was in. And to do that, she sometimes stole, sometimes killed, sometimes lied, sometimes deceived. However, if there was one thing she never did, it was to sell her body. ‘I would rather kill myself than sell my body.’ She thought while she was young. However, this world was sick, and she learned it too late. The moment a noble put his filthy eyes on her, the purity she tried so hard to protect was already on the way to being lost. At that moment, she thought, is this how it works? We, poor people, are working so hard, and those nobles are just stealing. And they are doing it in daylight with nobody to oppose them. At that moment, she thought, this worl

In the end, I stayed with Hannah for the rest of the morning.We didn’t do anything aside from some cuddling. Although I still like staying alone, feeling a woman’s touch was not a bad thing either.If I pushed Hannah at that time and didn’t pull her towards me, from this point on, our relationship would get a lot awkward.She would start feeling insecure, and the things she will do in the future will no longer be predictable enough.So, in order to keep her mind clean, I needed to pull her with me and show her my decision.In the first place, it is not a bad idea to do that either.The possessive feeling I am getting every time I see Hannah looking at me, every time she is around others, I no longer need to suppress that too much.Although, still, showing too much possessiveness would be creepy, and I won’t do that. In the end, here, I am not collecting a Pokémon or something.Anyway, after Hannah left the room, I started checking the rewards of the quest.In the first place, since t
