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. … .. . To be continued…Latest Chapter
059 The Severed Trail
Liliuna's head snapped around in a stiff, jerky motion. Krai was already standing tall. He had slipped free from Evelyn's embrace and was staring dead at her. "Huh?" Liliuna’s mouth parted slightly. A mix of sheer confusion and mounting horror painted her beautiful features. "You... noticed?"Krai crossed his arms. His posture radiated an absolute dominance that made the air in the room feel tangibly heavier."Of course," Krai replied, his tone perfectly flat, as if intercepting a high-level spirit's telepathic conversation was the most mundane thing in the world. "I am a Chaos Master, after all."Liliuna fell silent, swallowing hard. She had momentarily forgotten that the man standing before her wasn't some ordinary human bound by common sense."What are you waiting for?" Krai tilted his chin, gesturing toward the dark crevice where the spirit had vanished. "Didn't you want to get stronger?"His words pierced through her hesitation like an arrow striking dead center. The uncertainty
058 The Call of the Divine Star
While Krai’s small party basked in an unspoken warmth, a starkly different atmosphere clung to the far corner of the cavernous hall. The ancient ruins around them were a testament to a forgotten era, filled with crumbling masonry and the heavy, stagnant scent of dust and old magic. Liliuna stood rigid alongside the rest of the High Elves. Despite their innate grace and centuries of honed pride, they were reduced to exchanging tense, sidelong glances. They wrung their hands, the delicate silver embroidery on their sleeves catching the dim light, looking every bit like uninvited guests awkwardly trapped in a stranger's living room. They didn't belong in this moment of camaraderie, nor did they fully understand the depths of the bonds tying Krai’s group together.Feeling the suffocating weight of her own intrusion, Liliuna averted her gaze toward a shattered obsidian pillar. She traced the worn, illegible runes carved into its surface with her eyes, desperate for any distraction that w
057 The Monument of Heartbreak
"Krai... you need to see this!"Her high-pitched call shattered the solemn silence of the hall. Krai turned. Over in the right corner, a fair distance from the main mural, Evelyn stood with her head bowed before a cubic stone monument. The glow from the party’s illumination crystals washed over its surface, revealing a dense layer of intricate carvings.Without missing a beat, Krai headed over, his boots echoing sharply against the stone floor. Agnes followed a few paces behind, her strides unhurried and composed.The face of the monument was anything but smooth. The strokes of the ancient script were rugged and uneven, gouged into the stone with erratic pressure. It looked as though the hands that chiseled it had been trembling, driven by an unbearable surge of emotion.Krai swept his eyes across the lines of text, his mind effortlessly translating the archaic dialect.It wasn't merely a historical record. It was a confession, a bitter testament left behind by a third party.The insc
056 Echoes from the Canvas of Time
Their footsteps shattered a silence that had settled for centuries. Unlike the ruined pillars and caved-in roofs they had navigated on their journey here, the grand hall before them stood with the arrogant pride of a bygone era.The stone walls remained resolute, virtually untouched by the erosion of time. The air inside felt distinctly cooler, carrying the scent of ancient dust and the faint, static crackle of lingering magic.At the far end of the room, stretching from the floor to the vaulted ceiling, a colossal mural dominated the space. Its colors were entirely too vivid for a relic buried by the ages.Agnes drew to a halt. Her purple eyes locked in a sharp glare upon the arrogant figure of a man painted right at the mural's center."Ahh... so these are his ruins," Agnes murmured, her voice echoing low against the stone. There was no awe in her tone—only the grim acknowledgment of a dark history.Krai turned to her at once, his boots scuffing against the finely cracked marble flo
55 The Holy Sword’s Tremor
The tremor was faint.To most people, it might have felt like nothing more than a brief pulse in the sword’s hilt. But to those standing there, even the slightest change would never slip past unnoticed.Krai was the first to turn. Agnes followed a moment later. Evelyn noticed it as well and immediately looked toward Liliuna.“Is something wrong?” Evelyn asked.Liliuna lowered her gaze, then gripped her holy sword with both hands. The metal along its scabbard was still vibrating softly, as if it were responding to something from the direction of the ruins.“I don’t know,” Liliuna answered quietly. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen the holy sword react like this.”“Really?”Curiosity appeared on Evelyn’s face at once. She stepped closer, bending slightly so she could examine the sword from up close. Her eyes gleamed with interest, like a child who had discovered something rare.But before she could get too close, the holy sword trembled again.This time, the vibration was clearer.
54 Ancient Records
The monument stood tall in the middle of a wide field of green grass.There were no other structures around it. Only the wind moved slowly across the plain, brushing over the tips of the grass and carrying the scent of fertile soil and young leaves. Sunlight fell at an angle across the old stone, making the fine cracks on its surface look like black veins frozen in place for thousands of years.Rows of ancient writing were carved into the face of the monument.The strokes were thin, neat, and unmistakably clear, as if each letter had once been engraved by someone with extraordinary power.Krai stood directly before the monument. His eyes traced the carvings one line at a time. If not for his contract with Agnes, he would not have been able to read a single word of that ancient language.Beside him, Agnes closed her eyes for a moment. Her lips moved almost soundlessly as she translated each line with complete focus. Her hair swayed gently in the wind. Her face, usually so composed, loo
