Being Knights
Leo and Won sat casually at a small shop near the palace entrance, sipping jasmine tea. It tasted vastly different from the tea they had on Earth; it was intensely bitter but held a strong, clean finish.Won coughed, a subtle signal to Leo, indicating that two Knights had just entered the shop.Both of them turned back with a natural look. Won spoke first, greeting them with a casual tone. “Hey! How are you doing?”“Hey!” the Knights responded, taking seats at a nearby table. “Are you two new here? We haven’t seen you around the palace inner sectors.”“Yeah, you know the King is focusing on perimeter securing now,” Won replied smoothly, using the cover story Silas had provided. “We were at the borders near the C
Julie Brown
“What are you two doing here?” The girl in front of them demanded. She was stunning: beautiful, with long, silver-curvy hair, striking blue-ocean eyes, and skin as pale as fresh snow, wrapped around an almost idol-like physique.Won and Leo exchanged a quick, confused glance in the dark, smoky room, then turned back to the girl.“Do you know what you are doing? You are obstructing the King's Knights,” Leo spoke, forcing his voice deep and heavy, mimicking the arrogant tone of the Knights they’d just spoken to. “Move before I force you to leave.”The girl stared directly at Leo. “Knights, huh? You know the Serpent Deity’s charm doesn't work on me, and neither does that dull, flat tone of Command Speech you used back in the palace.”

Menace Zone Debut
“I cannot get used to it,” Won muttered, swaying slightly as he slowly stood up after the jarring sensation of the teleportation device faded. A strong, biting wind immediately crashed against his face. “Wait, sand?”Shaking his head, he looked around. “Leo? You there?”“We are here, Won,” Leo’s voice reached him, sounding strained.They were definitely not back in the Dragon House.They stood in the middle of a colossal wasteland, a desert of dust, shattered concrete, and grotesque metallic scraps, stretching endlessly under a perpetual, sickly gray sky. This was the Menace Zone, the city's graveyard.“What is this place?” Won asked, squinting against the blow
The Betrayer’s Ghost
The day’s operation had spanned twelve grueling hours. Leo had to temporarily exit the Menace Zone one more time to recreate Julie’s safe Veyne cocoon, ensuring she remained sealed and hidden from the endless stream of monsters.When they finally returned to the Dragon House hideout after brutal training, everyone was battered, sporting minor to moderate injuries, cuts, burns from the core heat, and deep exhaustion. Ramiro's team had managed to kill five of the S-ranked Gigan Demons, a good score considering they had zero prior experience with beasts of that caliber. Silas’s team, however, had crushed the target, taking down twelve.The plan was set: they would change the team formation for tomorrow’s training to balance the field and let everyone gain crucial knowledge.After patching up the
Void Between Memories
Won couldn't even close his eyes for the rest of the night. Sleep was impossible. Every word Noah had spoken, “I’m sorry for leaving you,” “Those who betrayed us,” was still ringing in his ears, haunting the dark silence of his room.He sat up, his back against the cold, metal wall of the Titan’s inner cavity, and tried to remember. He forced himself to recall every single detail of every kid he had grown up with at the Squalor on Earth, the dirty, brutal place that was supposed to be his home. But none of the faces or names aligned with the boy in his vision. He remembered something Arnold had said about the people he met in the Cursed City, how their responses had glitched and become bizarre when questioned about the King's ten thou
Dilemma
For the next four relentless days, Won and Julie always met at the rooftop after everyone else was finally asleep. The training was focused. Julie explained her choice: she knew Won had the least experience in the team regarding foundational combat training, and therefore he was the most suitable one to teach her the basics he had learned during his two months at the Academy.Won demonstrated every little detail he had absorbed about sword art from Orson and the combat movements Blossom had taught him. To his surprise, Julie was adapting with startling speed. She had learned much from her father, an Ashen, and had watched him practice throughout her childhood. It was easier for her than it had been for Won to adapt to the complex movements quickly.Her current rank was Ironwake, but the way her aura was flourishing within just a couple of days hinted at somethi
Burden of Dead
Thirteen hours ago:It was supposed to be a non-training day at the Menace Zone against monsters, as announced earlier by Silas and Ramiro. The squad needed to focus entirely on making concrete plans to hunt down the Deity and infiltrate the palace. The members were free to engage in normal combat training among themselves, but the consensus was rest and planning.Won, having grown oddly distant from his team for the last couple of days due to the lingering weight of Noah's episode, sat quietly near the window space. He only listened, lacking the energy or will to actively join the discussion.“Killing that Deity. Killing that Deity,” he thought with a detached cynicism. “That’s the ultimate goal, right? We don't need a plan
Most Dangerous Weapon
“Go back, Won!” Wynn said, sitting across the table inside the warm, peaceful confines of the hollow chamber.Ignoring him, Won only closed his eyes and dropped his head onto the polished table surface with a soft thud.Wynn sighed loudly. “I cannot babysit you with your drama, you know that right? I am a busy person and I need to go back. I don't get paid enough for this.”. .. .No response.“Come on? At least say something,” Wynn spoke, sounding genuinely annoyed now. “You cannot just call me here and stay silent, expecting me to fix your emotional issues.”He continued, “You kn
Price of Absence
“Ashen Won, Ashen Won! Wake up! Wake up!” Woco’s voice pierced Won’s heavy sleep.“What is it?” He asked, sitting up slowly, his body screaming in protest from the self-inflicted injuries of his training. “They are in danger! I feel extreme danger!” Woco repeated, its voice clipping slightly. “I cannot say for sure what is happening since the hollow chamber cuts all connection from everywhere else. But I can sense it! You need to go to your friends, now!”Without wasting a single precious second, Won exited the hollow chamber and manifested instantly back in the Menace Zone.The sight that greeted him was beyond a battlefield; it was an apocalypse. Massive structures were reduced to smoking rubble, and lic
Freefall
“Mikasa! Mikasa! Look at me!” Won yelled, his voice strained and fighting against the incredible wind generated by the Titan Dragon’s desperate, flapping wings. “I will have someone to catch you below, so you need to let go now! You can’t hold that much longer!”“You want me to leave you alone with this thing?” Mikasa spoke, her words crashing with the violent winds, barely audible. Won realized that a verbal conversation wouldn't have results. The girl was barely holding on, with severe bruises and deep, burning wounds all over her body. She was running on pure adrenaline and core power.Sighing a long breath, Won carefully coiled the star-iron wire around the thick, scaled neck of the creature, started inching himself down with excruciating care, aiming to reac
