“I’m sorry for excluding you from our talk. But I believe your brother told you everything you need to know. And I also am aware of your situation - that your parents are in the hands of my father, and he will reward you for bringing me back to his hands and taking me away from the Crimson Guild, or whatever that means… Look, I’ll be blunt, Hina. I care about your parents, and I don't want my father… I don’t want the prime minister to threaten you with your parents. But if the Crimson Guild are willing to protect these people, and your brother deals more harm than good to us, I’m afraid I will have to trust those people more than your brother, who was labelled by the news as a murderer. “ When Elena explained those words, Hina lost her cool and planned on hitting her. Elena saw through everything. But despite my sister’s actions, she wanted to take a hit. Considering what the daughter of the prime minister had mentioned, she was willing to sacrifice Hina’s parents for the sake of prot
“What’s the status of the gates and the monsters?” Elena asked one of the guards that approached us. Then, afterward, she gave out her instructions about the escape we had planned and how we were going to execute it.When this man entered the scene, everyone paid their respects and greeted him. This bloke didn’t have a weapon except for his fists. And every time he glimpsed at his side, the man never showed any openings despite having no mana or fighting prowess that my system could sense. I could only imagine that he was some sort of soldier from his past life. But it appeared that theory wasn’t the case. According to Elena, this man in front of us was just a volunteer who wished to lead the defence of this place. He was one of the few people who saw my face, but thanks to Elena, this man vowed to himself to forget what he saw and continue operating with our corporations.This man was Gabriel, a french guy who just happened to stumble upon this portal. He was a man without any powers
I was framed by the Crimson Guild. I could still remember that time that I had to save people inside and outside the portal. As soon as I knew that the monsters had the intelligence to bait me and kill the people outside. There wasn’t anything that I could do but prevent the people from dying as much as possible as the monsters massacred them all.I told the entire group about everything, and I was never a part of that slaughter fest. When I was inside that portal, I knew I had to save those people. Even though I didn’t know them, I desperately clung to hope and stopped those creatures from dirtying their hands. But since I was not powerful enough when the invasion happened, some people died while others left with injuries in their names. From this day onward, I still dreamed the same nightmare, hoping I could save more people if that happened again. When the group of survivors heard my narrations, some believed me while others shook their heads in disapproval. Every person present i
The scouts and Elena had already prepared the wagons. We were on the move. The only thing that held us back was the lack of people who could properly fend off those approaching monsters and the creatures themselves careering in our direction. Hina and I were the only ones specialised dealing with those beasts. The two of us weren’t immortal. But we were left with no choice but to do our best to save as many people as possible, ideally everyone without experiencing casualties.But before the battle could even start, the projectiles coming from the enemies’ ruined my ideal objectives.Those monsters from the north had us outnumbered. Usually, creatures existing in these dimensions were physically built to destroy humans with the strength of a tank. None of them should cast magic. However, I was proven otherwise when a brilliant dark shadow travelled across the sky, aiming at our site. We had wagons that moved as slow as a snail and pregnant mothers and children refusing to move their le
Fainting now would be unfavorable to the group. And I didn’t want to force things to happen, in spite of being the only killer of the team. ‘Maybe resting right now would lead us to victory?’ I thought. But, then again, I knew this was a risk that I had to take. If I, somehow, collapsed on the spot and was unable to pick my gun and kill those monsters, these people would die with me… And Hina would die with the rest of them. I didn’t want to make that happen. So instead of bottling up my fears, I relayed my message to Hina. As I turned around, I motioned my fingers enough to catch her attention and shouted, “Hina! I’ll rest for ten minutes! Can you do something about the approaching monsters?” Hina already had her barriers up the moment I fired my first bullet against those monsters. She had been protecting this place without me issuing her a command. My sister was too focused on defending when I forgot one thing about her. Hina still had her golems surrounding the base. They w
[New Mission!] [Defeat the Komodo Dragon] [Reward: Activate the Next Swarm.] [As soon as you defeat the Komo Dragon, you will be given six hours of break until the next one arrives. Until then, no monsters will appear within your vicinity, so use this time to rest and lessen the distance. The next swarm will come after six hours. And if you, White Fang or any other adventurer, manage to defeat the first and second swarm, you will be rewarded with twelve hours of break time. After defeating the third swarm, the exit will appear. Any information regarding the swarms will be confidential. The time you spend while defeating every boss from the swarm varies and will not be recorded or put you under time constraint or pressure.] The new mission was just a normal task that I already experienced throughout my adventuring life where I had to defeat a tough boss before leaving this place. But the only difference was that I had people with me… A large group of international people who got tra
The Komodo Dragon was a master of ambushing adventurers where they did not expect it. Even my system described the monster as what I had envisioned, instilling more fear to everyone who faced him. The people who caught a glimpse of the terrifying beast cried a river of tears as they miserably crawled their way back to a safer distance.As soon as I dodged the Komodo Dragon’s attacks, I finally had the chance to study the rascal. This reptile had the same characteristics of an Earth Dragon. The only difference was the appearance, scales, and their abilities. The Komodo Dragon was just like the ones we had on the surface back from the real world. But instead of the rough but pale skin of the reptile, this Komodo Dragon found inside the portal had armours made of rare metal exclusively found in this world. And when I appraised that material, my system told me it had high resistance against physical and magical attacks. Well, it wasn’t a surprise, considering we were up against a fucking
“Tsk… Not a single scratch, huh?” I muttered, as I discerned what my bullet could do against the tough exterior of the Komodo Dragon. My bullet still did something, but the damage was unrecognisable. But if I continued accumulating those tiny damages, maybe we could dent that armour and damage the monster in the long run.As soon as the Komodo Dragon’s failed, the beast submerged back to the ground and concealed itself once more. That creature quickly disappeared just as quick as the moment it had appeared. And when the lizard finally hid itself from me and the people, it let the worms and the little horde of lizards attack the group of survivors one by one. The tactic instilled fear and chaos on the battlefield, letting me be preoccupied with something rather than thinking of ways to counterattack the beast’s cheap trick.The children and the mother that the Komodo Dragon attacked fell on the ground, with tears and sweats flowing from their eyes. Their hands shook every time the gro
