2024-10-29 19:42:56O panicked. He was trying to break free from the cage he had created himself, meanwhile the magic circle underneath his feet grew brighter as if it was about to explode.
“Aaah! Wait! Wait! Ceasefire!"
O managed to escape from the stone cage and ran towards the door. However, the circle didn't stand still, but followed his steps…
“Shiiit! This is not fair!"
The light from the magic circle grew brighter, making O's tension and panic soared to the sky. In that state, O remembered his crazy idea: separate the crystal core from his body.
O's still intact hand reached into his hollow ribs and reached for its thumb-sized core crystal. He threw the core crystal towards the door, while his body turned around and ran towards the monster instead.
“To hell with the rescue mission! I don't want to die anymore!” O lunged at the monster, right at the head where a black-purple magic circle glowed. If this holy magic was fatal to him, it must be the same for this undead monster in the form of a winged lion as well, right?
“Eh?! What are you doing?" Now it was the voice from the purple-black magic-circle who panicked.
“Kamikaze!” O screamed while clutching the monster's head. He didn't care about the series of sharp teeth studded in the monster's mouth. This was the Backfire Strategy that was backfired, then backfired again!
BOOOOMMMMM!!!
The white-gold circle let out a screeching sound, then exploded like a flash grenade. Only, if the flash grenade was made to paralyze one’s senses, this magic was made to shatter one’s body into pieces.
The magic explosion left streaks of light dust in the air. When the dust receded, the figure of O was still standing. Other than the arm and ribs that were broken by the first wind magic earlier, O suffered no significant damage. Meanwhile, the monster collapsed on the ground. The monster's face was completely blasted, but there was no significant damage other than slightly torn skin.
“…” O mused. "So the so-called holy magic turned out to be harmless?"
“”…””
“Even the bites of those ugly zombies hurt more than this bombastic-looking magic!”
“”…”” The Narrator was speechless.
“Aaaargh! Damn you Narrator-“ O was about to launch into another series of swears and curses, but was cut short by another scream.
“Ua-a-aRGH!” The voice coming from the purple-black magic circle was hoarse and broken. The magic circle itself was no longer intact; the formula cracked and slowly thinned like air. The explosion just now seemed to have damaged the magic circle. “Just wait, you, damned kid! The Order of the Night Eaters won’t stay idle. We will find-”
“Noisy!” Now it’s O’s turn to cut his enemy’s speech. He flicked the circle once, and it broke into pieces and disappeared completely. After that, there was some kind of gray smoke coming out of the monster's head.
The monster was unconscious. O would have thought the monster was dead if it hadn't made a grunting sound. Yes, the monster that previously looked like a lion was now snoring softly like a kitten.
O took a deep breath. He picked up his crystal core that was lying on the ground and focused his mind on putting the pieces back together. “If my assimilation level drops drastically this time, don't talk to me anymore. You hear that, Narrator?”
“”…” The Narrator did not answer. He had been very quiet since the holy magic explosion just now.
O immediately went back to the monster and examined the chains bounding it. After some time, he managed to untangle some of it. However, the ends of the chains were still nailed deeply in the walls and in the ground. If this beast couldn't break free, let alone O who's only had bones for his body. O then intended to break the chain with his magic.
“Narrator, show me earth magic formula!”
When O said this, the monster suddenly opened its eyes. The monster roared, but this time it didn't struggle. The monster shook its legs alternately, and the harpoon on the end of the chains that bound the monster were snapped out in just a few movements.
O immediately rolled over to avoid the monster's flutter. However, the monster was no longer interested in O and was busy pulling out the chains that were piercing its flesh. O deduced that the winged lion monster and the thing inside the purplish-black magic circle just now were two completely different entities. Whatever the entity within the magic circle was doing made the winged lion go berserk, and clearly, what O had done just now had angered the entity. O suspects something bigger than that mysterious entity awaits him in the future.
The Order of the Night Eaters, O etched that name in his memories.
Finding itself unmoored, the monster turned and broke through the wall behind it. Unlike other walls that were made of hardened earth, this wall was made of bricks.
"Hey, wait!" O chased the monster behind the broken wall. However, he soon lost its track.
O found a very large area behind the broken wall. It was an underground cave, or rather a canal. O could hear the sound of the rushing stream below, but other than that, he couldn't see anything because of the darkness covering the whole area.
“Well, never mind. This is enough to complete the mission right, Narrator?”
""Congratulations! Mission accomplished! You get a new ability: Map and Navigation Magic!”
“Oho! Show me the formula now!” O was impatient, but the Narrator's answer silences him immediately.
“”Your assimilation level is insufficient. Terms of use: 3%; your current assimilation rate: 2%.””
“…” O was at a loss for words. He was silent for a few moments and then screamed at the top of his lungs. “Daaamn you!”
O’s yell echoed in the ceiling of the cave. For a moment, the yell overpowered even the noise made by the rushing streams in the canal. The yell awakened something that resided in the ceiling of the cave. Then, dozens of red spots flashed alternately in the darkness.
"This damn luck!" O sweared softly. He immediately ran away with tears flowing on his cheeks …

O called to himself and ran down the narrow passage without looking back.“Lapis!” O casted a spell just as he exited the narrow passage. Three stalagmites stabbed and became a kind of gate that closed the passage. It is undeniable that earth magic and its potential as a blockade has become O's signature move.Dozens of winged creatures chasing O were caught in the stalagmite barricade.

O immediately found himself becoming a target for those magical attacks. O still hasn't completely recovered from the side effects of magic exhaustion. However, his position was now close to the door, so he could immediately escape to the next room, a room where there were dozens of empty coffins. However, bad news greeted him again. In that room, dozens of undead were gathered, as if they were waiting for him. They even turned around in unison when O entered the room. “Uh, hello?” O said awkwardly. He wanted to curse, but his mind was thinking hard and the side effects of using too much magic made his mind freeze. Luckily, O's body reflexes didn't freeze. As the undead charged a

Before entering the next area, O examined his ability list first. He had a strong suspicion that a new ability had been unlocked, because he felt a different sensation when using the coffin lid as a shield. Identification Magic (Intelligo); Fireball Magic level 2 (Ignis); Water Whip Magic (Aqua); Stone Spear Magic (Lapis); Wind Arrow Magic (Eurus); Black Hole Magic (Exsugo); Map and Navigation Magic (Exploro & Exhibio); Magic Mastery level 2; Wand Mastery level 3; Shield Mastery level 1. O wrote down a list of abilities that had been unlocked on the ground. As expected, he had unlocked the passive ability: Shield Mastery. This meant he could unlock the Mace Mastery ability if he uses a mace type weapon. However, there was something bothering him. Why didn't he gain whip mastery even though he had used a whip type weapon? Is it because the whip he uses is made of magic? In the end, O stopped overthinking and just enjoyed the things he could understand. Now the side effects of using

Of course, victims who approach Mimic would be devoured by the monster, becoming its nutrients.O sweared. The Mimic’s grasps and pulls were so strong that O had to use both legs as support.

Made from a mixture of iron and silver."Only that?" said O in a high tone. He didn't get any very important information. However, O soon noticed something else about the blade of the sword.“Roland?” O read an engraving on the sword. "Who's he?"O then found tooth fragments and a piece of tailbone on the floor, where Mimic had died. He immediately connected his new discoveries with the sword in his hand. Yes, someone named Roland might have been devoured by this monster in the past, and this sword must have belonged to him. Other than the sword, only his teeth and tailbone remained."May you rest in peace," said O, making a prayer gesture. "I will properly use this sword you left behind."O remembered his death in his previous life. Would there be people mourning for him like he did now? O felt a little bit melancholic.

O, Your Holiness! Chapter 1 : Am I Dead?
[Welcome to Valandria] In Langit’s all-dark vision, the texts flickered. There was no sound, no scent, not even could he feel the tightness of the muscles in his body. "Am I dead?" Langit replayed the last moments that were drawn in his memory. *** Langit has just returned from school where he works even though working hours are not over yet. A letter of layoffs (Termination of Employment) flew to his desk this morning. And that means no more work today, nor tomorrow. “You are fired, Sir. It’s been a pleasure to work with you." "Of course you guys are happy. My pay is no more than a cleaning service officer at the mall.” Langit worked as a teacher in a private school. People thought that the expensive private school fees would definitely provide a large salary for their employees. But in reality, it was not. Langit's wage isn't even worth it. Not only is it barely feasible, it doesn't even obey the government regulations. The workload and working time rivaled that of a u
O, Your Holiness! Chapter 2: My Name is O
The human nervous system regulates every action and response of the body by exchanging signals through receptor cells. The human nervous system is formed by the brain, spinal cord, and somatic and autonomic nerves. From that part, the somatic nerves function to capture stimuli that are on the outside of the body such as the skin. Therefore, Langit could feel neither texture nor temperature when his hand touched the coffin's lid. He couldn't feel anything, because his current form was that of a skeleton without flesh and skin. "Uwaaaaaaah!!" Langit could not believe what he was seeing. He looked at his hands, then at his feet, then at his body. Everything was just bones. Langit didn't realize that when he waved his hand to erase the flickering text in his vision before. Now, when he realized that his whole body was just bones, he couldn't help but become hysterical. "Uwaa! Uwa! Aaaaa!" ..... ... Langit screamed for more than 20 minutes. His hands already touched every inch of the

The roaring sound really came from a beast. A huge, scary beast. O's vision of a male lion came true, many times over. The monster in the room took the form of a white lion and had a pair of wings of the same color. The monster's size was so big that the huge room was almost full. Even scarier, the monster wasn't really alive … Part of the flesh on the monster's body had fallen off, revealing its pale white bones. Even the monster's organs were bursting out; his intestines blurted across the floor; its collapsed lungs dangling; its torn hull dripped with acid that made the hard ground puff out smoke. One wing was broken and the tip was dangling, while the other wing only had a bit of skin and a few long strands of hair. Part of the monster's face also fell off. His golden yellow eyes spun wildly like a pair of googly eyes. On the monster's forehead, a purple-black magic circle glowed. In that state, the monster was still howling and struggling.

O began to open the door with his trembling hand. If he had sweat glands, his whole body would be wet by now. A growling sound from behind the door traveled through the air, reflected off the walls of the room made of hard and compacted earth.Have you ever been to a safari park and seen a male lion roaring from your safari car? O have experienced it. The iron bars and thick glass of the safari car that ensured his safety could not prevent the lion's roar from shaking his guts. This time too, the sound that came from behind the door was like the roar of a lion, even more sinister than O could remember. Behind the door, O found a large passage. This passage was exactly like the first one he had entered after returning to life as a Lich. O thought, if every area was made with a similar architecture like this, the existence of a map probably wouldn't help him at all ...But O kept going foward anyway. If the architecture of this area was the same, then after the dimly lit large hall, th
