Father Beardon clapped his palms once and hummed.
“Lumini.”
Small particles of green light flickered along the pillars, one after another…slowly revealing the magic lanterns embedded into the stone.
The room lit up in a deep green hue.
And the moment it did… Acherous’s eyes widened.
This wasn’t a room. It was a labyrinth.

Chapter 49: King’s Castle––I
Duke and I were standing in front of the throne inside the habitat as the Emoji Builders surrounded us, their hammers rising and falling while they waited for the next task.Bip! Bip-Bip! Bip-Bip! Bip!“Yes, yes… I have already decided your next task, don’t worry.”I crouched down as I started scrolling through their interface. The walls were done, the basic weapons were done… it was finally time for the main castle of the habitat. I had already selected the layout in my mind last time.My paw stopped scrolling as it hovered over the layout I wanted.And then I pressed the build button underneath it.The Emoji Builders were all looking at the layout I selected, and Duke was also observing with widened eyes. The moment I pressed the build button, all of the builders rushed to different directions from the throne with happy emojis flickering on their screens.Bip! Bip-bip! Bip! Bip-bip-bip-bip!Even their jingles changed, as if they had been waiting for this exact task for a long time.
Chapter 48: Cogs of Collison
Inside the habitat, around the time the skirmish report reached the palace“So… I heard you mention something called Negative Helis.”I stepped in with a sharp right chop aimed at Duke’s neck.He answered instantly.A right hook came slicing toward my face.Helis Step.My body vanished.The afterimage of Helis shattered as his punch passed straight through it as I reappeared above him mid-air, my arm already descending toward his neck.“What’s that about, Duke?”He didn’t panic.Instead, he used the momentum of his missed hook—twisting his body, stepping forward, and catching my wrist mid-swing. His hips rotated sharply as the world flipped in my eyes.I was thrown forward with a clean shoulder throw, my body dragged by the torque of his movement.“Negative Helis…” he shouted, already moving.“…are particles of destruction!”He swept low toward my grounded body.“But Helis and Negative Helis—both belong to the Lost Age!”I pressed my palm into the ground and launched upward, barely do
Chapter 47: Floor Zero
The next morning, the first report of the skirmish was sent to the Palace of Bearda.In the world of Calitra, hunters were broadly divided into two kinds—Royal hunters and private hunters.Royal hunters mostly came from noble lineages. They served directly under the crown, bearing titles as knights and commanders within the kingdom.Private hunters, on the other hand, operated under the Hunter Guilds scattered across towns, taking contracts and fulfilling roles independent of the throne.And it was from one such guild—That the news arrived.From the eastern side of the Market District, a white horse raced across the stone-paved streets of the capital.Taratat! Taratat!Its hooves struck the ground in rapid succession as people quickly stepped aside, clearing a path for the rider. The urgency was evident in every movement—the rider leaned forward, pushing the horse harder with every passing second.The palace gates opened but the rider didn’t slow.Inside the throne room—Dargon sat
Chapter 46: The Bleeding Present
The memory shattered. And the world snapped back as Naturia returned. Night had fallen. The forest lay bathed in silver under the moonlight, like a crowned green expanse resting beneath the sky.I was still sitting in front of Duke.Neither of us spoke.Our eyes remained locked on each other as if words had abandoned us. The silence stretched long…heavy…until even breathing felt like an effort.Then finally—A sharp breath escaped my throat.“You were betrayed by your own brother… and your own people…”My voice trembled slightly.“Then why did you say… it was your fault?”Duke didn’t answer immediately. A faint smile formed on his lips. But it wasn’t a happy one.“Dargon…” he began slowly,“…was never as strong as me.”His gaze drifted upward.“But he was never rotten.&rdquo
Chapter 45: The Haunting Past––III
The deeper they moved into the canal, the worse it became.More bodies.More blood.The narrow sewage path slowly turned into something far more horrific.Corpses of merfolk lay scattered along the sides, some half-submerged in the filthy water, others twisted unnaturally across the stone pathways. Every single one of them had a hollow chest, no heart.The smell grew unbearable, of blood and decay thick enough to choke the lungs.Then—A faint red light flickered ahead.Both Duke and the cloaked man slowed down instinctively. And then…it became clearly visible to every eye.At the center of a widened section of the canal stood a circular podium, raised slightly above the dirty water. Mage lanterns were embedded around its edges, casting a deep crimson glow that pulsed faintly against the darkness.No one spoke as if their breaths had stopped inside their chests.Even I—who was only witnes
Chapter 44: The Haunting Past––II
The moment I touched Duke’s shoulder again—the world shifted. I was pulled back into his memories once more.But this time… the scene was different.The capital was alive.Humans and merfolk moved together through the bustling marketplace. Vendors shouted from their stalls, their voices rising over one another as customers bargained loudly. The air was filled with movement, noise, and life.Mermaids with shimmering tails glided along specially carved water channels, trading goods with human merchants as if this coexistence had always existed.For a moment… it felt real.The Peace.Then suddenly…a knight in a silver chestplate rushed toward me, waving his hand urgently.“Commander! His Majesty has summoned you!”He stopped right in front of me and stood straight, his breath slightly uneven from the rush.Commander?Me?Confusion flickered through my mind. Before I could react, a familiar voice came from behind.“Oh? Then let’s not keep His Majesty waiting.”I turned quickly. Duke stood
