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 ignore it.

“Weren’t you naked earlier?”

“That’s right. But since Master isn’t used to seeing a naked woman, I created clothes with magic so as not to trouble Master.”

“I appreciate that, thanks.”

“No, this is my duty as your servant. In fact, I should be apologizing for showing something indecent in front of Master.”

Shizuku lowered her head sadly, realizing her mistake and feeling guilty.

I smiled and reflexively reached out to pat her beautiful red hair.

Shizuku froze, then looked at me with an extraordinary expression.

I quickly pulled my hand back.

“Sorry, I got carried away. It must be uncomfortable being touched by a man you just met.”

I thought Shizuku would nod, but she didn’t.

Shizuku shook her head with a gentle smile on her lovely face.

“I’m very happy if Master is the one touching me.”

Her gaze turned filled with sincere affection.

I was confused. I was sure this was our first meeting, so why were her feelings toward me so strong?

Perhaps sensing my confusion, Shizuku explained a fact that made my eyes go wide.

The Chaos Master ability—always considered a useless skill—could actually enhance the goodwill of powerful beings like Shizuku.

Shizuku also understood that the strong feelings in her heart weren’t truly hers, but she didn’t care as long as she could serve me.

“So that’s why you wanted me to subdue you so badly.”

Shizuku nodded, her beautiful smile blooming.

Seriously, she was so stunning that it was hard not to admire her.

“Master doesn’t need to worry. This is my decision—to serve Master.”

“Even so, having an Ancient Red Dragon King as a servant is a bit much.”

“Is that so? The previous Chaos Master even tamed hundreds of ancient dragons, gods, demons, and other powerful beings, yet still wasn’t satisfied.”

“…”

I was speechless for a while after hearing that.

Now I was curious about the previous Chaos Master. I wanted to know why he tamed so many powerful beings.

It couldn’t have been to destroy the world—if that were the goal, the world would have ended long ago.

Grrrrk!

While thinking, my stomach suddenly growled.

Come to think of it, I hadn’t eaten anything since arriving here.

“Master is hungry? Please wait a moment, I’ll bring food for Master!”

With energetic enthusiasm, Shizuku left the cave.

“…I actually wanted to come along,” I muttered weakly. “Well, it can’t be helped. Let’s trust Shizuku and wait here.”

While waiting, I opened my status to confirm something.

The strange feeling in my body was right—massive changes had occurred in my status.

New abilities were added, and my four main attributes had skyrocketed.

Previously, the average of my four attributes was E. E-rank was above the average human but still not strong.

But after subduing Shizuku, all my attributes except magic had become SSS. I didn’t even know what that meant—A was the highest rank I knew.

Even the legendary hero who defeated the Demon King only had average A-rank stats. If SSS was higher than A, I couldn’t imagine how strong it was.

Magic was now the only attribute at EX rank—again, something I had never seen.

Still, I felt an endless flow of magic power surrounding my body. I didn’t have this feeling before, but now it was unmistakably present.

“It says here I can use elemental and non-elemental magic. Does that mean I can really use magic?”

With a bit of hesitation, I raised my hand and imagined a flame appearing on my palm.

Whoosh!

“Whoa! It actually appeared when I imagined it! Amazing! I can use magic now!”

Nothing was more satisfying than the first successful use of magic.

Caught up in my excitement, I unknowingly poured more mana into it, making the flame in my hand grow huge.

“Even the royal court mages can’t create fire this big. Now, let’s test its destructive power.”

I looked around and found a one-meter-tall boulder.

“Target acquired. Time for a test.”

Whoosh!

I threw the flame like a professional baseball pitcher.

It shot forward and passed through the stone like a ghost through a wall.

“It didn’t work? No… this is—”

BOOOOM!

The flame evaporated the boulder instantly before exploding upon hitting the cave wall.

The entire cave shook violently, though it didn’t collapse.

Panicking, I followed my human instincts and bolted out of the cave.

…..

The peaceful scenery of the Thousand Monster Forest was shattered by the massive explosion of fire, piercing through the clouds and reaching the stars.

Hundreds of millions of monsters shuddered in terror at the overwhelming pressure.

Many fled from the blast’s center, causing a monster tsunami near the forest.

Several kingdoms bordering the forest immediately declared a state of emergency along their borders.

A massive evacuation began to prevent casualties from the monster tsunami.

Thousands of powerful adventurers were summoned, along with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and knights.

All because of one small experiment, the kingdoms around the Thousand Monster Forest plunged into chaos.

What would have happened if Krai had used his full power in that experiment? The world might have ended.

Shizuku, who was searching for a dragon to prepare food for Krai, was startled when she saw the explosion reaching the sky.

“It seems Master is testing his new power. Judging from that explosion, Master wasn’t serious. Thank goodness he can hold back. If he didn’t, I would’ve needed to restore an entire continent.”

With a sweet smile on her beautiful face, Shizuku headed back while dragging the corpse of an earth dragon.

For reference, an earth dragon was an S-rank monster, requiring hundreds of A-rank adventurers to defeat.

But the earth dragon Shizuku dragged looked like it had died from a single blow to the head.

Even though its head was its hardest part, she still shattered it easily.

    Shizuku furrowed her brow in irritation when she saw that her signature flames had left nothing more than a faint trace of soot across the dimensional beast's skin. Her fists clenched tightly at the sides of her maid uniform."This creature is far more stubborn than I expected," she grumbled, her deep voice laced with annoyance.Krai turned casually toward his maid, not a hint of panic showing on his face."Can't be helped. It's our first time fighting something from outside our dimension," Krai replied languidly, clasping both hands behind his head.Shizuku blinked her crimson eyes, studying her master with a sharp, probing gaze. She caught the unnatural calm in his demeanor."It seems you've already deduced something, Master."A faint smirk touched Krai's lips as he looked at his personal maid with clear appreciation."Spot on. Even if the details aren't entirely clear, I have a rough idea of where the previous Chaos Masters went.""I see. If they crossed into another dimension, tha

    A relentless gale tore through the sky five hundred meters above, whipping the hem of Krai's black coat.The biting cold pierced deep into the skin, yet the youth stood composed upon empty air as if grounded on a solid sheet of glass.Beside him, Shizuku floated gracefully, her frilled black-and-white maid dress holding its immaculate form against gravity. Their sharp gazes were locked squarely onto the colossal anomaly hovering erratically before them.The creature's silhouette was an outright violation of the laws of nature. Its body formed a pitch-black, utterly seamless sphere rotating slowly on an unnatural axis.From the base of its round body, five slender, heavily-jointed legs clawed at the void, supporting a massive weight that radiated ripples of pure darkness.A single giant eyeball laced with glowing crimson veins dominated a quarter of its surface, darting erratically without pattern and exuding absolute hostility.From the creature's back, ten thick, serrated tentacles l

    "Master, this..." Shizuku murmured in a low voice, stepping up beside Krai. Her gaze sharpened toward the eastern horizon, which had begun to tremble violently."The creature is almost completely through," Krai cut in, his expression turning solemn. Even from a distance, he could feel the fabric of space stretching and slowly tearing under the immense weight of an alien force."Are you serious?! Then I have to get back there right now!" Griselda cried in a panic. Her short frame sprang into motion, ready to bolt with all her might toward the dimensional research facility on the city outskirts.Yet Shizuku moved far faster, like a flicker of black shadow. In a fraction of a second, the crimson-haired maid stood directly in Griselda's path."It's pointless to force your way over there," Shizuku said in a piercingly cold voice, her eyes sharp without a shred of hesitation. "Everyone at the research facility has already been wiped out by that creature.""Huh...?"Griselda froze in place.

    Haruna tilted her head slightly to the right. The hem of her dress and her soft, shimmering deep blue hair floated gently in the air, catching the dim glow cast by the crystal lanterns along the fortress wall."You remind me of that dwarf princess from back then," Haruna interjected without hesitation, shattering the silence that hung frozen over the corridor. "Tell me, are you her descendant?"The old woman flinched violently, her eyes widening as she stared straight at Haruna. The deep wrinkles on her stern face suddenly twitched, overcome by a rush of sheer disbelief."Huh? You... you knew my ancestor?!" she gasped, her voice climbing in pitch as whatever composure she had managed to maintain crumbled away.Haruna let out an amused chuckle and crossed her arms, wearing a relaxed smile that stood in stark contrast to the old woman's tension."My name is Haruna. The Spirit Queen from two generations ago.""What?! Lady Haruna?!" The old woman shrieked, staggering half a step backward.

Preparations for their cross-continental expedition were completed without a hitch, entirely thanks to the decisive and loyal Agnes handling the Stromveil Empire's bureaucracy.Krai, Shizuku, and Haruna set out for the Grand Dwarven Empire. Instead of taking a horse-drawn carriage or a standard airship, they bypassed the vast distance using high-speed spatial magic, tearing through the atmosphere without resistance.It took only minutes to cross thousands of kilometers of steep mountains and barren valleys in the Western Continent.The sprawling landscapes below blurred into rapid flashes of color before they made a smooth landing in the vast courtyard bordering the capital.Upon arriving at the imperial capital, Krai couldn't help but marvel at the colossal wall enclosing the city.

  • 106 Punishment for the Young Emperor

    Krai cracked his bedroom door open, poking his head out to scan his surroundings carefully. The grand corridor of polished white marble lay completely deserted, with not a guard in sight."Master~."A sweet, melodic whisper brushed right past his ear."Yes!" Krai snapped his back straight on reflex, spinning around to face the crimson-haired maid before him, his posture stiff as a board.The stunning maid stood tall in her elegant, lace-trimmed uniform. Her bright red irises bored into him, as if peering straight through the mind of Stromveil's supreme ruler."Why are you sneaking around, Master?"Krai cleared his throat awkwardly, trying to play it cool. "I just feel guilty for neglecting my duties as emperor.""Hmm~."Shizuku wore a look of utter skepticism. Her eyes narrowed inquisitively as she studied her master's guilt-ridden expression with mock doubt."I'm being serious here!""In that case, prove it with your actions.""What do you want me to do?"A sly smile tugged at Shizuk
