Facing the incoming thrust, Jones’s expression did not change.

Time seemed to stretch in that instant. His gaze followed the sharp tip of the rapier, slid past the ruby set into the hilt, and locked onto the grip—and the hand holding it. That was where the force came from… and where the flaw lay.

The young man’s swordsmanship was too aggressive, all edge and no restraint. He left himself no room to adjust. These pampered noble youths had never faced real danger; they had long forgotten the glor

  • The Misunderstanding Ends

    Time seemed to freeze.Jones stared into Karina's face, countless emotions churning in his eyes."That necklace... was it really you who gave it to me?"Karina slowly nodded.In an instant, a flood of emotions crashed through him.Shock.Guilt.Regret.He remembered that winter.He had been wandering the streets with a high fever, hungry and alone. He had always believed that Katherine had "happened" to pass by and given him the coat and necklace. Jones had been deeply moved, thinking it was the beginning of love.But he had been wrong all along.It had been this girl.This girl who had always stood quietly behind him, never asking for recognition.She had braved the freezing night to help him, giving away her warm clothing and the only valuable necklace she owned.And he had never known.Jones lowered his gaze to Karina's battered body.The bruises.The cuts.The deep marks left by backpack straps digging into her flesh.Sweat and dirt stained her skin. Her hair clung to her pale che

  • The Truth

    The monsters charged with savage roars.The first Water Ghoul raised its claws. Karina barely had time to lift her dagger in defense before the tremendous force sent her flying. She slammed into the ground, her back shattering against a protruding rock. Agonizing pain exploded through her body.She struggled to get up, but her arms refused to obey.Another Water Ghoul was already upon her.Then a second.Then a third.Their razor-sharp claws and fangs were inches from tearing open her throat. Foul-smelling saliva dripped onto her face.Death was only a heartbeat away.Meanwhile, Katherine was leading her team toward the treasure chests.She didn't even spare Karina a glance.The girl who had drawn away the monsters for her was dying, yet all Katherine cared about was what rewards might be hidden inside those two chests.It was disgusting.Karina closed her eyes.Her Titan Power had long been exhausted. Her dagger had been knocked several meters away.She had no weapon.No strength.No

  • Reunion

    Just as Jones was about to charge forward with his sword, he suddenly stopped.Something was wrong.A Hero squad of more than a dozen people had entered his field of vision.Jones's eyes sharpened instantly as his gaze swept across the group.Then it froze.His pupils contracted slightly.Karina. And Catherine.Why were they together?"Damn it!"A shrill curse tore through the air.Catherine swung her hand backward and slapped Karina across the face with enough force to send the girl stumbling several steps. Blood appeared at the corner of Karina's mouth."You bitch!"Catherine's face twisted with fury, her eyes blazing with anger."You're the one who brought all this bad luck on us! Your cursed luck is poison!"She glanced around at her battered and wounded followers, her chest heaving.Just an hour earlier, she had unexpectedly captured Karina.She had been delighted, already imagining how she would punish the servant who had dared run away from her, when they encountered a monster

  • Farewell and the Reward Chests

    Lucy stood before Jones, her lips trembling and her eyes reddened.“I’m sorry.”The words seemed to drain every ounce of strength from her body.“I shouldn’t have said those things. Calling you a coward. I shouldn’t have... spat at you.”She lowered her head, fingers twisting together so tightly that her knuckles turned white.“You saved Bob. You saved all of us. And I…”Her voice faltered.The other heroes had all turned their attention toward them.There was no longer any contempt in their eyes.No scorn.No ridicule.Only a heavy sense of guilt, mixed with a gratitude that bordered on reverence.Jones looked at the blushing young woman before him.His expression remained calm.“It’s fine,” he said. “Given what you knew at the time, your judgment wasn’t unreasonable.”Lucy abruptly raised her head.Her eyes grew even redder.“Jones…”Bob stepped forward, his voice trembling slightly.He studied the young man in front of him, still struggling to believe what he had witnessed.“I neve

  • A Hero

    “Cover me! We have to save Jones!”Bob’s eyes were bloodshot as he roared the order, desperately trying to break through the encirclement of monsters.But it was already too late.The horde unleashed a chorus of shrill screeches and lunged toward Jones all at once—Then the flames rose.Jones merely lifted a hand.BOOM!With him at the center, everything within a hundred meters became an inferno.Crimson fire surged like a raging ocean, swallowing every monster that charged him.The zombies’ flesh curled and blackened beneath the blazing heat as they released agonized screams. Ghouls twisted frantically, trying to escape the hellscape, only to have flames coil around their limbs and burn their bodies apart. Poison spiders attempted to retreat into the shadows, but the searing temperature forced them out, their eight legs twitching violently before they were reduced to charcoal.At the heart of the sea of fire, Jones remained perfectly calm.Sword in hand, he strode forward at an unhur

  • Everyone's Shock

    "Charge!"Bob's roar tore through the air.Titan power erupted from his body as a towering ape phantom nearly sixteen feet tall materialized behind him.A-Rank Titan — Titan Great Ape!But even more monsters surged forward.Zombie claws ripped open the first shield wall.A hero screamed as he fell, his throat torn apart, blood spraying into the air.Ghouls hurled themselves forward without fear of death. Even after spears pierced their chests, they clawed desperately at their enemies, determined to tear away flesh before dying.Venomous spiders darted through the shadows.Every appearance was followed by another agonized scream.Bob swung his warhammer relentlessly.Each strike exploded into a shower of blood and shattered bone.The phantom Great Ape rampaged through the monster horde behind him.But the giant silhouette was gradually fading.His Titan power was running out.Seven monsters surrounded him at once.Another ghoul lunged.Bob twisted aside to avoid it, but the movement to
