"What... what is that?" one of his Council members whispered, his face turning a sickly grey. "That metal... it does not obey the laws of mana."Malphas didn't answer. His knuckles turned white as he gripped the edge of the gold-leafed table. He watched his elite Void-Walkers, men trained to die for the Gothic crown, turn and run in absolute, pants-wetting terror. And then, he saw them—the Knights of the Rose. He saw Milla and her Amazonian killers emerge like ghosts to systematically slaughter every last one of his fleeing men."BASTARDS!"Malphas roared the word, and the sound was like a thunderclap in the confined space. He swept his arm across the table, sending the gold-rimmed chalices and ancient maps clattering across the floor.The Council members scrambled backward, pressing themselves against the cold obsidian walls. They had seen the King angry before, but this was different. This was the fury of a man who realized he had brought a knife to a god-fight."He used a toy!" Ma

Arthur POVThe sun rose over the Southern Territory, and the view from my balcony was… well, it was a mess.The "Divine Thorns" had done a great job of incinerating the dragon chunks, but the forest floor a few miles out was littered with the leftovers of 500 Gothic warriors. According to the local gossip, and the dwarves gossip like elderly aunts, it wasn't just the fence that did the work. Apparently, the Knights of the Rose had come out of the shadows like a silver-and-pink hurricane to finish the job."The Queen’s Hounds," the villagers called them.I leaned against the railing, sipping a freshly brewed cup of "Dark Roast" and thinking about those massive, cool-as-hell Amazonian knights.

The next day, it was business as usual. The sun had barely climbed over the horizon before the "Open" sign was flipped, and the rhythmic thrum of the air conditioning units kicked into high gear. And the addition of solar panels was making Eto dizzy. But he was too nice to not complainedI opened the shop, manned my Elsa, Jeon and Herbert, each of them taking their positions like seasoned veterans of a retail war zone. Elsa was practically glowing, her new fire-affinity making the coffee machine hiss with extra respect; Jeon was stacking Spam and toothpastes, toothbrushes and soaps, shampoos with military precision.Herbert was at the door, greeting customers with a smile t

Queen Selene POVThe sun hung high and unforgiving over the Southern Territory, a scorched orb that turned the humid air into a thick, shimmering veil. As our carriage rattled along the smooth "Arthur Road," the wind carried the heavy scents of the region: the metallic tang of the nearby mines, the earthy musk of the dwarven laborers, and the unmistakable aroma of roasting coffee.The village was a hive of frantic, organized chaos. Merchants from the bordering duchies were shouting over the din of clacking wagon wheels, their carriages laden with grain and silk, all vying for a spot near the "Divine Thorns." Dwarves, their bearded faces slick with sweat, hauled crates of raw mana stones with grunt-heavy rhythms, their eyes occasionally darting toward the roof of the Arthur Building with a mix of reverence and fear.Milla and I stepped out of the carriage, our maid dresses dusty and damp from the humid heat. We played the part of the weary, mugged travelers perfectly, our heads bowe

She adjusted his pillow three times in a minute, her movements sharp and territorial. Whenever I took a step closer to the sofa, she would flare her mana just enough to make the air shimmer with heat, a silent warning to stay back."He doesn't need 'inventory reports' in his dreams, Elsa," I sassed, stepping forward anyway, ignoring the heat. "He needs a stabilizer. My mana is of the 12th Circle; I could easily bridge the gap and—""No!" Elsa hissed, jumping up and placing herself between me and the sofa like a mother dragon guarding a hoard of gold. "No more 'bridging.' Every time you touch him, he ends up in a coma! I’ll handle the nursing. Jeon! Bring more ice! Barnaby! Watch the door! Nobody enters this room unless they are carrying a medical degree or a direct order from me!"Millan let out a soft, dry cough. "The girl has spirit, My Lady. Misguided, jealous spirit, but spirit nonetheless."I leaned against the wall, watching Elsa fuss over Arthur’s bangs, her face a mask of fie

An hour later, I stepped out of the staff quarters feeling fundamentally changed, not just in body, but in spirit. Master Arthur’s "staff supply room" was a treasure trove of the impossible. Millan and I had bathed with relics we barely understood: a thick, aromatic "shampoo" and "conditioner" that turned my tangled hair into a waterfall of starlight and silk, smoother than the finest fabrics in my royal treasury.The new uniform was even more baffling. I wore a tunic of vibrant red and blue with a strange, circular logo on the chest, paired with trousers made of a durable, dark fabric bristling with more pockets than a master thief’s cloak. Even the shoes, soft, bouncy things that made me feel like I was walking on clouds, were clearly relic-grade.Millan looked at me, her expression a mix of awe and tactical confusion as she adjusted her own pocket-heavy pants. We weren't just maids anymore; we looked like a specialized unit from a world that had mastered both comfort and utility

"First era relics, huh?" Arthur turned to me, winking as if we were just discussing the price of flour. "Hear that Ellene? It looks like our 'Premium Customers' are getting desperate. Maybe I should send them a coupon for a 'Relic Disposal Service'?"I smiled, a thin, dangerous line. "It would be only polite, Master. After all, we wouldn't want the Gothic King to feel neglected.""Exactly!" Arthur turned back to the scout, snapping his fingers. "Barnaby! Throw this guy a blanket and another piece of the truth-pastry. I want a full list of every 'Forbidden' toy Malphas has in his closet by sundown. If he skips a single detail, the next thing I freeze will be his favorite tail-fin."As we walked out of the room, leaving the whimpering scout to his chocolate-induced crisis, I looked at Arthur’s back. He was humming that "Power Rangers" tune again, seemingly oblivious to the fact that he had just interrogated a High-Scout with a breakfast snack."Millan," I whispered as we reached the h

[DESCRIPTION: A portable sanctuary of relaxation. Includes 'Cloud-Fiber' robes, 'Mana-Infused' lavender bath salts, and a 'Temporal Steam' mask that erases stress and physical fatigue. 100% Guaranteed to soothe even a Fire-Mage's temper.]Purchase. Ding!A sleek, iridescent white box manifested in my hands, smelling faintly of mountain rain and expensive jasmine."Elsa," I said, my voice softening as I stepped closer. "I may have prioritized a lizard’s testimony over your breakfast, and for that, the Corporate Office, which is me, sincerely apologizes. As a 'Staff Appreciation' bonus, I’m granting you a mandatory two-hour paid break. Starting now."She paused, her hand hovering over a can of Spam. She turned slowly, her eyes narrowing at the shimmering box. "A... 'Spa Kit'?""Not just a spa kit," I smirked, sliding the box onto the counter. "It’s a 'Oxygen-Level' experience. It’s got a robe that feels like you’re being hugged by a kitten, and bath salts that literally pull the exhaus

Actually, it fits perfectly in the warehouse. I had originally looked at the tank, but let’s be real, walking through the village and to the farm and back and forth makes my feet hurt, and I’m a CEO, not a marathon runner. I needed something with speed, style, and a serious amount of attitude.So yeah, I purchased 100,000 VP worth of Honda CBR500R, red color because why not? If you’re going to revolutionize a fantasy world, you might as well do it in a color that matches the "Go Go Power Rangers" vibe of my security team. Along with the bike, I purchased a gallon of fuel, high-octane, refined-from-another-dimension gasoline, which made Millan and Elsa faint the moment it appeared in the warehouse back end of the Arthur Shop. To them, the smell of petroleum was like a "Divine Aroma of the Forbidden Heavens." They hit the floor before I could even explain what a "combustion engine" was.Okay, I did not expect some divine sassiness from the System, but this was my dream motorbike. Bac
Chapter 100
In the obsidian heart of the Gothic Kingdom, the air did not move. It was a stagnant, humid weight that clung to the skin like a shroud, smelling of sulfur and the unwashed desperation of a city on the brink of collapse. Outside the towering palace walls, the dry land cracked under a relentless sun that seemed to mock the kingdom’s dwindling glory.The atmosphere in the streets was no longer one of disciplined loyalty, but of jagged, dangerous edge.King Malphas had squeezed the lifeblood out of his subjects to fund his pride. Food supplies were doubled taxed, and then taxed again as they entered the city gates. The commoners stood in bread lines that stretched for miles, their eyes hollow from a famine that was no longer a threat but a daily reality. Even the nobles, once the King's staunchest allies, were seen whispering in the dark corners of the court, their silk robes frayed and their own larders thinning.The mines never stopped. Day and night, the rhythmic, metallic scream o
