Chapter 78: The Sacred Duel Beneath the Ember Sky

The clash between the Crimson Cleavers and the Mindforged Artificers raged on beneath the burnished glow of the setting sun, a celestial canvas casting molten gold across the arcane sportsfield. The Cleavers, bolstered by brute instinct and the raw fire of ambition, seized an early lead in the first rites of the contest. Yet, the Artificers, scholars of rhythm and pattern, played with methodical grace—chiseling away at the gap until equilibrium was restored.

Now, the final rite approached.

It was the ninth turning, the twilight inning. All momentum, all magic, all memory converged upon this single crescendo.

The Crimson Cleavers took to the mound, their enchanted gear gleaming under spell-lit lanterns. The Artificers, ever-stalwart, rose to bat—tools of war masquerading as polished clubs gripped in gauntleted hands.

Upon the batter’s circle stood Kong, the ste

His gaze, wide-eyed and unblinking, remained locked on the girl before him—no, the woman who had once dominated global stages as the unrivaled queen of K-pop in his past life. To see her again, reincarnated into the very same world as him, made every breath he took feel surreal, as if reality itself had been bent and rewoven by unseen hands.Yuna—now Montgomery—finished the final note of her impromptu performance, and with elegance born of years spent under the relentless eyes of the public, she bowed to the crowd. Though her heart pounded with uncertainty, her steps were poised and her retreat flawless, like the final flourish of a seasoned illusionist exiting the stage. Her every movement shimmered with practiced charisma.As she departed the stage, her eyes rose to meet Elias’s. With a soft

    Chapter 143: The Song of Two Suns—When Yuna Entered the Falcon's Light A full year had passed in this world before Elias Holloway’s footsteps began to shape fate’s foundation. And then, like the echo of a second heartbeat beneath the earth, another ripple formed in the grand cycle of reincarnation. Her name was Yuna Kim—though here in this realm, born to the aristocratic Montgomery bloodline, her name carried the sweetness of innocence and the weight of noble lineage. But long before this new life, before fate handed her a blade and wisdom, she had been a radiant K-pop sensation: dazzling lights, flashing cameras, sold-out concerts—those had been her dominion. That life had ended abruptly, and in the fragile silence that followed, she met the Radiant Architect herself. The Celestial Being—ever cryptic, ever amused—welcomed her soul not with promises of grandeur or power, but with a single whimsical whisper: “Live a life of comfort.” No me

    Chapter 142: A Melody That Echoed Beyond LifetimesElias’s sharp eyes locked onto the imposing figure before him—an ogress whose knightly aura didn’t mask the flicker of something deeper: recognition, curiosity, perhaps even confusion.Does she fucking know me? Elias thought, tension coiling in his gut.Agnes snapped to attention, her gaze dropping respectfully. “Forgive me,” she rumbled, voice tinged with discipline. “I’m Agnes, an ogre. I serve House Montgomery.”That name triggered his memory—House Montgomery, a bastion of old‑money influence in the Falcon region. Seberus had said an alliance with them could rewrite power balances.Elias hadn’t expected to meet them. Not like this. In flesh and bone.---Elias Holloway extended his hand with artificial warmth. “Welcome to our lands. I’m Elias Holloway.”Their handshake was iron itself—her grip unyielding, rooted in battlefield discipline.He sca

    Chapter 141 – The Elysian Flame Beneath Scales and SteamAgnes stood rooted in place, her pupils dilated in disbelief as she surveyed the transformed siblings before her. This was no mere demi-human sight—it was draconian rebirth incarnate. Her breath caught when she noticed the crimson sheen on the youngest one’s scales; alive with arcane resonance, alive with power. Frills along necks and spines vibrated subtly in time with latent mana currents—the perfect trace of dragonblood ancestry. They radiated primeval strength.Nearby, the red-scaled youth sparred with a drunken dogfolk, his fists cracking the night air like lightning strikes. The dogfolk reeled, yet wobbling drunkenly, matching each blow. The Dragonborn’s style wasn’t polished—he was mesmerized by raw power, an untapped storm—but each strike carried the force of ancient tectonic tremors. Agnes’s analytical mind surged: raw talent, unrefined but undeniably devastating.With a deep breath, she rec

    Chapter 140: Whispers of Wind and the Drunkard’s DoomThe streets of Falcon Ridge were alive with revelry, their stones soaked in lanternlight and laughter. With the recent celebrations of the Lyta Nation's grand economic summit nearing a wild crescendo, the taverns and inns of the capital city spilled over with guests—diplomats, warriors, merchants, and adventurers alike—all drenched in drink and joy. In particular, the famed “Steelspout” tavern near the central plaza roared with voices raised in song, games, and drunken dares.And with dwarves among the crowd—those squat, broad-shouldered titans of tolerance whose livers seemed forged from mithril—alcohol flowed like enchanted rivers. Dwarves could outdrink ten men and still walk a straight line. Their ancestors had probably invented a dozen ways to distill ale from rocks.But not everyone had such fortitude.A particular figure stood out among the revelers—a scruffy, middle-aged canine hybrid,

    Chapter 139: Resonance of Echoed Souls — The Arcane Pulse of Lyta's MusiciansFrom the very first trembling note that whispered through the gleaming, silver-veined Mithril resonance conduits—those enchanted speaker artifacts forged by Elias's hand—an unexplainable, otherworldly calm settled like morning mist upon the entire territory of Lyta.Across every corner of the vast Lyta nation, from the bustling crystal-lit streets of central Falcon Ridge to the quiet, wind-swept outskirts of the Ashed Lands, people instinctively halted mid-task—shovels left dangling, quills hovering over parchment, swords paused inches before striking dummies. Their heads all turned in perfect unison, drawn by an unseen current toward the source of that alien harmony, their eyes widening with both awe and confusion.The sound wasn’t merely loud; it was alive.The chords vibrating through the air were infused not just with artistry but with elemental mana itself—woven car
