An explosion erupted from the building nearby. Fire swallowed the sky in a sudden burst and from within the blaze, a familiar figure emerged.

A girl with vibrant pink hair landed softly, using a swirl of flames to cushion her fall.

“Amber?”

I called out.

She touched down smoothly, her pyrokinesis flaring around her feet like a pair of fiery wings.

Fina and I rushed toward her, eyes wide with concern and curiosity.

“Amber, what happened?”

I asked, out of breath.

Amber glanced at me—but instead of answering, she turned to Fina.

“Fina, is Noah doing a great job protecting you?”

She asked with a teasing grin.

Fina gave a confident nod and smiled.

“Yup. He’s really reliable.”

Amber's eyes shifted back to me, scanning me from head to toe with skepticism. Her look said everything.

She wasn’t expecting much from me.

Her disbelief was practically visible, and she didn’t bother hiding it.

I frowned. “Don’t look at me like that…”

Amber chuckled. “Anyways, what’s going on here? That explosion…” F

    After being forcefully flung by one of the ninjas, Fina was hurled toward the forest.She crashed straight into a thick, lush tree, the impact rattling her bones before she tumbled to the ground with a thud.The fall left her scraped and bruised, her skin decorated with cuts and grazes.Still, it could’ve been far worse.Luckily, a branch had cushioned her descent, taking the brunt of the fall.We can say that detail was probably the only reason Fina could still stand on her feet.But she didn’t have time to recover.The ninja was already on her trail, launching daggers in her direction.Fina spotted the glint of moonlight reflecting off the blades and rolled to the side just in time, dodging them by a hair’s breadth.“I commend your agility.” A voice spoke smoothly from the shadows. “But for a ninja, you’re far too slow.”The ninja appeared beside her like a phantom, his kick slicing through the air.Fina raised both hands in a guard, blocking the blow, though the impact still sent h

    My body is still soaking wet after climbing up from the river, but for some reason, I’m unable to feel any cold at this moment.I raised my hands and made myself ready with a combat stance facing the two ninjas."We've been observing you for days," one ninja said, his voice devoid of emotion. "Gathering information, assessing your role in the upcoming incident in this city."​"What incident? Are you planning something?" I demanded.​"Our goal is to return the world to its pure state—a world without ability users," he replied solemnly.​I couldn't help but chuckle. "Pfft... Hahaha! You're a hypocrite. You claim to eliminate ability users, yet you are one yourself."​"Don't be mistaken. While we possess abilities, they will be purified once our mission is complete. We're fighting fire with fire."​Suddenly, both ninjas vanished from their spots, reappearing on either side of me, fists poised to strike.​I ducked, narrowly avoiding their punches, and countered with an elbow to the ninja

    This woman is definitely going to kill me.Is this the end of my journey? I thought, closing my eyes in fear.There’s absolutely nothing I can do to survive against her ability. Her power is untouchable, unseen, and unstoppable."What’s the matter, Saint?"Sister Angelina asked."Weird... I’m sure I activated my ability. So why is he still alive?" Saint White said, her voice genuinely confused.She pointed her index finger toward me again, flicking it like she did before.Nothing happened."This can’t be... My ability is being disabled? At this distance?""Saint White’s ability not working on him? That’s impossible."Sister Angelina muttered.I was just as confused.This has never happened to me before.Somehow, my World Rejector ability had reacted on its own. I don’t know how I used it, but I was lucky.Lucky to be alive.Lucky to avoid instant death."Judging from your expression... You don’t know what’s going on either."Saint White said, narrowing her eyes.I remained silent, st

    I slowly opened my eyes and stared at the wooden ceiling above me.My body felt heavy, but my mind began to clear. Turning my head slightly to the side, I spotted a girl sitting quietly near the corner.Mio.I called her name silently in my head.She was always there—whenever I was hospitalized or completely hopeless, it was her who sat by my side. But this time, it couldn’t be her.Mio and I… we had already gone our separate ways. She had severed ties with me completely. Just like they say—some relationships can't be repaired. All we can do is move forward.Mio and I would never be together again.As the warm sunlight filtered through the window, I blinked and looked closer. The girl beside me wasn’t Mio.It was Fina.She sat by the bedside, carefully peeling an apple with a gentle smile, it almost made me forget the pain in my body.She noticed me stirring and beamed.“You’re awake! I’m so glad.”She turned toward the table beside her, gesturing at a tray filled with colorful fruits

They only care about one thing… games.These people are called Gamers.They log in daily to complete quests, even if it means squeezing them into a schedule already tighter than a boss fight timer.

    A new day has come, and like everyone always says, a new day holds a new, bright future.It's one of those hopeful expressions I want to believe in—but judging by the dark, moody sky outside, my future looks more overcast than sunny.I sighed to myself, the kind of sigh that feels like it comes from somewhere deep, almost theatrical in its drama.It’s been two days since I got hospitalized after that lovely little run-in with Saint White. Every injury I got? Miraculously gone. Not a scratch left, like someone hit Ctrl+Z on my entire body.As for the hospital bills? Amber handled everything. Said it was part of her apology for dragging me into the twisted world of the Dark Side.Along with the apology came an offer: I could leave the organization. Return to my normal life. The classic “get out while you can” route.But here's the thing: I haven’t given her an answer. It’s… awkward.

    In the deepest chambers of a forgotten subterranean hideout called Nether, the scent of sweet corn tea drifted through the air, warm and oddly nostalgic.Porcelain cups clinked softly on a white marble table—an oddly elegant centerpiece in a place rumored to house the world’s most dangerous cult.Saint White, leader of the enigmatic Cult of White, brought the teacup to her lips with measured grace.Her pristine white robes shimmered faintly, untouched by even a single speck of dust, as if reality itself dared not defile her presence."Mmm… What is this tea?"She mused, licking a bit of sugar from the rim."It’s sweet… but it lingers with such a soft, earthy aftertaste. I like it."She delicately reached for a cookie, biting into it with the calm of someone who knew they could level a city in the time it took to finish dessert.“The tea is called sweet corn tea, Mistress.”Replied Sister Angelina, the devoted high priestess of the cult.She poured another cup for Saint White with tremb

Everything was still at peace and relaxing.But today is a bit different because Hanayuki is having an annoyed expression on her face. She is pouting her mouth and she’s looking toward Ren with sharp eyes.Ren was confused about the sudden turn of events. As far as he knows he's not doing anything except the time that Ren eats Hanyuki’s share of ice cream as a mid-night snack.“H-Hanayuki…”Ren called Hanayuki but she just ignored Ren and averted her eye’s away.“Come on what’s the problem? I’m sorry if there’s any.”“There is no problem! There is no problem!”Hanayuki retorted back.“Then why you're shouting? If it’s about the ice cream. I will buy you tonight.”“It’s not about that stupid… I already know about that. I know where you're going every time you leave the bed… That’s not the problem…“Then tell me.”Hanayuki then turns her face toward Rena and looks at him with a slightly shy eye. Her face is a bi

Did you hear about those corporate slaves in the city? Did you know that some workers are dying in their offices? I don’t want that to happen to you.”“Don’t worry I won’t die easily.”“They all said that… Ren, you’re always like that. When you're into something you didn’t know how to break. Sometimes you forget about eating at all.

  • Chapter 66: Reading time of Yuki and Amber

    A long, long time ago, there lived a couple—sweet and gentle, bound by a love that felt eternal. They were kind-hearted, hospitable, and always ready to help others. Everyone in the village adored them for their warmth and generosity.But even in the happiest stories, sorrow finds a place. Despite their deep love for one another, they were never blessed with a child. Their house echoed only with the sounds of wind and birds, never with laughter or tiny footsteps. Though they tried to smile, an invisible ache lingered between them.One evening, the husband confessed something that had been weighing on him for years. He blamed himself—his own body, his infertility—and with tears in his eyes, he told his wife that maybe she should leave him, find happiness elsewhere, perhaps with someone who could give her the joy of motherhood.But the woman didn’t loosen her grip on his hand. Instead, she held it tighter than ever.“Even if you can’t give me a child,” she said softly, “I will never lea

    The Next DayMorning arrived, and I finally made it back to the dorm.I had a good reason for disappearing all night—after dealing with a swarm of chimera and erasing them one by one using my World Rejector, I completely drained myself. The energy loss pushed me straight into a critical deficiency, and before I knew it, I was unconscious.Thankfully, Fuse was there when it happened.Although, according to what I heard afterward, she didn’t take me to a hospital like any sensible person would. Instead, she brought me to a family restaurant—the same one where I first treated her to curry and chicken. While I was passed out on the bench, she calmly called over the waiter and ordered the exact same meal again.Curry and chicken. While I was literally half-dead beside her.Yeah. Fuse can be... a little stupid sometimes.It wasn’t until a concerned waitress noticed something wasn’t right that they moved me to a nearby health clinic. After a night of rest and some proper care, I managed to r

  • Chapter 64: Burn Everything

    South of Neo Silico Valley.A sleek, polished structure stood tall against the burning sunset, its mirrored surface reflecting artificial lights from the skyway traffic above. The building bore a pristine sign: Peaceful Home Corporation. To outsiders, it appeared to be just another tech giant—renowned for creating robotic assistants designed to help with daily chores, office tasks, and personal companionship.But beneath its steel-and-glass skin, the truth festered like rot.Deep underground, beyond the public’s gaze, in corridors colder than morgue walls, the corporation was conducting something far from peaceful.The War Doll Extension Project—a black-budget experiment buried under fake invoices and erased files—was still alive.Inside the hidden lab, a woman in a wrinkled lab coat stared at her screen, her bloodshot eyes wide with panic. Dark bags hung beneath them like bruises. Her name was Ella, lead researcher, and she had just lost connection with their most important subject.

  • Chapter 63: Hesitation

    I felt Fuse’s cold hands press against my forehead as the ability-stealing process began.She was so close. Close enough that I could see the shimmer in her eyes—eyes on the verge of tears. Her hands trembled, her fingers unsure. It was like her very touch was whispering, “I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”She didn’t want this.She didn’t want any of this.Fuse was in pain.(Fuse… just do it. Steal his ability. That’s your path to freedom. That’s your happiness.)The voice echoed from her earpiece, cold and manipulative. A voice that didn’t understand her—not really. Not like I did.Gently, I reached up and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear. My fingers brushed her skin with care, not resistance. Then I plucked the earpiece from her and held it to my mouth.“I’ll be taking responsibility for Fuse from now on,” I said, my voice low but certain. “She will be free. And happy. From this moment on—forever.”(Who do you think you are?! Fuse, ignore him! Proceed with the experiment—)

  • Chapter 62: Confrontation

    I don’t care if it was past midnight or before midnight—I met Fuse. That’s all that matters. The most important thing wasn’t the time, but the fact that I was able to see her again with my own eyes.The last time I encountered her was in the streets, around 8:00 PM. That tells me something: Fuse tends to wander near her scheduled target locations between 10:00 PM and 2:00 AM. Of course, this is only an estimate—Fina calculated the timeframe by considering when the victims might arrive.But time isn’t what’s important tonight.What matters is that I’m here. I’m willing to wait in this place the entire night if I have to—until the sun rises, if it comes to that—just to stop Fuse from whatever it is she’s doing.The location is a cargo box storage yard. It’s filled with towering stacks of shipping containers from vessels docked nearby. Some of them are filled with goods, others are completely empty. This place is supposed to be a restricted area—there’s even a large sign on the gate that

    Not long after Amber departed from the dormitory, she arrived at the hospital and dashed through the hallways toward Fina’s room, her footsteps echoing with urgency. Upon arriving, she gently pushed the door open, only to find Fina fast asleep, peacefully tucked under the white hospital sheets.Confusion instantly flashed across Amber’s face.“Noah said he was going to stay here with her… to look after her,” she murmured, her brows furrowing.Her gaze darted across the quiet room.“So that guy really is seeing another woman… Using Fina as an excuse? Unbelievable. How stupid can he be?”She clenched her fists, trembling in frustration.“This is my fault too. I’ve been too soft on him lately… I even stopped giving him errands and chores just because I felt sorry for him. Tch—when I find him, I’m giving him a punishment he’ll never forget.”Amber shook in anger, pacing the room until something caught her eye. The window was wide open, letting in a chill breeze that fluttered the curtains
