"Prince Krai's ability is..."Everyone fell silent, holding their breath as they waited for the religious leader to announce the result of my coming-of-age ceremony.Just like them, I waited for the announcement with a heart beating wildly.In this world, one’s ability determines their fate.For example, if you are born into a low caste but gain a high-level ability during the ceremony, you can easily change your standard of living a thousand times for the better.On the other hand, if you are born into a high caste but receive a low-level ability, you can be immediately cast aside by those closest to you, unwilling to bear the shame.My name is Krai Helmut, the third prince of the Helmut Kingdom. The Helmut Kingdom is one of the great kingdoms of the World of Malaka.With a population of more than ten million, the Helmut Kingdom is one of the most densely populated kingdoms in the world.The Helmut Kingdom was founded by a hero who once saved the world from destruction. Thanks to the

I struggled to open my eyes, which felt unbearably heavy.When they finally did, the first thing I saw was an incredibly beautiful face—one that could make any man lose his mind at a glance.Shizuku…My gaze lowered to her body—sexy and flawless.Suddenly, I felt both relieved and disappointed at the same time.“Master, you’re awake?”Shizuku looked at me with the gentle eyes of an older sister, her charm as a mature woman surpassing even that of that man’s favorite concubine.“Master? Is there something wrong with my face?”“You’re calling me Master?”Shizuku nodded with a motherly smile that could melt any man’s heart.“Why?”“Because Master is Master. After Master subdued me, Master became my Master.”Ah, my head hurt from hearing that word repeated over and over.“Is Master alright?” Shizuku asked, worried.“Um, I’m just a little dizzy, and my body feels a bit strange.”“Master noticed it immediately? As expected of Master.”Shizuku said something confusing, but I decided to ignor

My consciousness slowly returned, and the first thing I felt was the softness and warmth firmly pressed against my body.“We did it…”I gazed at the perfect beauty lying atop me, her eyes closed as she slept soundly.“Mm…”That beauty slowly opened her eyes and looked at me with a gentle, loving smile.“Good morning. How was yesterday?”“Amazing.”“Hehe, want to do it again?”Shizuku whispered as she licked my ear.Thump—thump!“Ugh, forget it. I don’t want to do it in an open place like this.”“But yesterday you didn’t seem to care.”“Ugh, yesterday and today are different. Besides, yesterday I was under the influence of dragon meat,” I said, trying to defend myself.Shizuku smiled meaningfully, as if to say that everything that happened yesterday had gone exactly as planned.“Shizuku, don’t tell me…”Shizuku’s smile grew even brighter, and the words stuck in my throat were swallowed back down.“Hah…”“Master, don’t hesitate to tell me if you want to do it again, okay?”Shizuku looke

A few seconds later, I realized that the ones affected by the aura pressure weren’t only the monsters—every human within a radius of a thousand meters was affected as well.From ordinary people, knights, and soldiers to elite adventurers, they all lost consciousness instantly, unable to withstand the pressure of the aura.What should I do?Suddenly, the thought of using magic crossed my mind—to wipe out the remaining monsters.Imagine, imagine, imagine.Magic manifests through the user’s imagination.The more refined the user’s imagination, the stronger and better the magic produced.This time, I imagined a one-meter-long sword of light with unrivaled sharpness.In an instant, thousands of light swords appeared out of nowhere and rained down upon all the surrounding monsters.The monsters’ hysterical screams echoed continuously, lasting for several seconds before gradually fading away until they disappeared completely.“If the royal mages saw an attack like this, they’d go insane,” I

Balahab’s body stiffened as he stared at me, trembling uncontrollably.“Why are you spacing out? Answer my question.”“Your Majesty, I truly do not know.”Balahab turned his face away, clearly avoiding my gaze on purpose.“Are you sure?”Balahab nodded repeatedly, like a broken toy.“…You know, I’m quite good at judging people.”“…”“Your behavior is clearly suspicious. How could I possibly believe you?”“…”“Answer honestly. Do you know where Agnes is?”Balahab began grinding his teeth, visibly struggling before finally nodding.“I… know a little…”“Then why didn’t you answer honestly earlier?” Shizuku asked in my place, her voice sharp and filled with killing intent that could drive anyone insane.Thud!Balahab dropped to his knees before Shizuku and me.“Forgive me, Your Majesty. I was forced to lie just to survive.”“Hooo?” Shizuku showed interest in hearing the rest of Balahab’s story.“Agnes’s whereabouts are a great secret of the demon race. If I were to leak this information,
