      TEOCH 30 Cover
      by mimi The level system in this game is quite a headache. Of course, the structure of gaining experience by defeating enemies is no different from other games. When you infuse purification energy into a demon beast’s heart or head, causing a fatal wound, the beast dies, and all participating companions receive an equal share of experience points. At first glance, it might seem like the companion with the highest contribution should get more experience, but that’s not how it works here. It can’t be…

      TEOCH 29 Cover
      by mimi The crackling sound of the campfire reached me from the edges of my consciousness. Even though I was wrapped in two layers of blankets, a chill rose from the ground, but thanks to Tristan’s warmth pressed against me, it didn’t feel too cold. The snoring, likely from Rehas, and the much softer sound of Tristan’s steady breathing weren’t bothersome enough to disturb my sleep. I drifted in and out of shallow slumber, teetering between consciousness and unconsciousness. I was too exhausted to even…

      by mimi “Rohan, Rohan! Damn it, are they really down there? I can’t see a thing!” “My detection magic says they’re definitely below! We just haven’t found them yet!” “So they’re in there somewhere, right? Damn it, how are we supposed to find them with all these wasps?! How did they even end up in a place like this?!” High above at the edge of the massive hole, the two were bickering loudly. Their voices carried all the way down to us, but it sounded more like a light squabble than a…

      TEOCH 26 Cover
      by mimi A storm raged behind us in the passage. Rikiel, carrying us in his arms, flew at a terrifying speed, while the buzzing of the ground wasps’ wings pursued us with a ferocity that seemed ready to tear us apart. Feeling the sharp wind graze my cheeks, I struggled to open my eyes. The passage, which had seemed endlessly long, flashed past the edges of my vision in a dizzying blur. The enhanced ground wasps were undoubtedly fast, but Rikiel, even while carrying both me and Tristan, crossed the passage far…

      TEOCH 25 Cover
      by mimi A loud clash rang out as sparks flew from my blade, sending a numbing shock through my arm. Before I could catch my breath, the next attack came rushing in. I barely managed to block it, but the intense impact nearly made me drop my sword. The ferocity of these enhanced ground wasps was incomparable to the regular ones we’d faced earlier, and I let out a quiet curse. “Rohan, fall back!” I stumbled backward. Tristan immediately darted forward, filling the space I’d left, and swung his…

      TEOCH 24

      TEOCH 24 Cover
      by mimi The night in the temporary shelter was eerily still, without a hint of a breeze. The magical campfire, conjured by spell, burned quietly without so much as a crackle of sparks. Even Damian, the master of the magic, remained silent, adding to the heavy atmosphere that seemed to drown the tent in suffocating quiet. Rehas hesitated for a moment before realizing that he was the only one who could break the silence in this situation. He spoke up. “They’re not coming.” “They’re not coming, are…

      TEOCH 23 Cover
      by mimi The silence was stifling. Beyond the straight, endless passage, not even the faintest sound of buzzing wings could be heard, and the soft ground absorbed our footsteps completely. The only sound was the faint breathing of our group. As we walked through the seemingly eternal passage, a strange unease crept up from deep within my stomach, pricking at my mind. It was certainly fortunate that no ground wasps were here, but something felt ominous. ‘Why isn’t there a single fork in the path? We’ve…

      TEOCH 21 Cover
      by mimi My breathing was rapid. The world spun before my eyes. My trembling legs had long lost the strength to take another step. Yet, we continued to move forward, as if possessed by something. The buzzing sound of ground wasps’ wings clung to our ears like a hallucination, refusing to fade. Though no wasps were chasing us anymore, the echoing buzz from outside the passage was enough to stain our hearts with fear. We had no strength left to fight. If we encountered more ground wasps in this state, I felt…

      TCGAD 17 Cover
      by mimi I stood still like a sack of barley propped up in a corner. No matter how hard I tried to laugh along with his boisterous laughter, I couldn’t. Was it because the laughter sounded so hollow? It felt like I was standing in the eye of a violently swirling typhoon. “You dare to play those kinds of emotional games in front of me?” He sneered, chuckling. He laughed so hard that tears welled up slightly in his eyes. “When a male dog is in heat, it mounts its female. When she’s pregnant, it…

      TCGAD 8

      by mimi A screeching, spine-chilling noise suddenly rang out, causing me to stop speaking abruptly. Startled, I whipped my head around. Bulkan’s fork had veered off the plate, scraping the table. “Why, why so suddenly?” Shocked, I grabbed Lemon’s arm and pulled him closer, worried that glass might shatter and hurt him. But the moment my hand touched Lemon, sparks flew in Bulkan’s eyes. “This kind of thing!” He raised the fork high and then stabbed it into the floor. Ting, the fork…
