2025-05-21 08:00:23After we finished breakfast, we headed straight to the meeting place.
Just like Amber said, it was indeed an old shrine. Despite its age, the structure was impeccably clean, almost pristine. It gave off the feeling of stepping back in time.
Fun fact: the shrine wasn’t built using a single nail. That’s amazing, right?
As we arrived, a few girls sweeping the path noticed us and nodded politely in greeting.
“This seems like a wishing shrine,” Lynn said, her eyes wandering. “Maybe we can make a wish before we leave.”
I looked around. Their outfits caught my attention. They were all wearing kimonos—but not just any kind. There was a star-and-flower pattern on the fabric. It felt oddly familiar, like something I’d seen before.
“What are you doing? Checking out the girls working here?” Lynn teased with a smirk. “They are pretty cute.”
“No, that’s not it,&rdqu

Chapter 115
Waking up in the morning, I immediately fix the bed and wash my face. Then, I head to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. A simple meal—fried eggs, leftover rice turned into fried rice, some sausage, and a glass of milk. The same routine every morning.It has been over a month since I started living in Elesis Fort. Despite the scars left by the demon commander's unexpected attack, the city still stands. The people, though wounded by tragedy, continue to move forward. Their resilience is inspiring.But for me, something feels off. The days blend together, and I can't shake the feeling that I am stuck. I came here with a purpose, yet I don't know what that purpose is.Time for quest hunting again. I wonder what kind of quests are available today? I want to tackle a grade B quest this time. Unfortunately, because of the beast's manipulation ability, most of the monsters in the forest were wiped out. Only a few slimes remain, and those quests are just low-ranked and taken quickly by novice
Chapter 114: Crave and Curiosity
In the northern lands, once known as China before the Great Calamity two hundred years ago, stood a massive, high-tech powerplant that buzzed quietly like a sleeping giant.Its name was Solaris.As one of the largest powerplants in the world, Solaris was responsible for supplying free electricity to several nearby countries and empires that had risen from the ashes of the old world. After everything that had happened during the Calamity, it was nothing short of a miracle.But this miracle wasn’t born from prayer—it was built by a genius.Specifically, one named Roccia Kingman.Despite the strong, almost masculine ring to her name, Roccia was unmistakably a woman—and a proud member of the Genius Society, the mysterious group of scientific elites known for pushing the boundaries of human knowledge... and sometimes, crossing a few lines in the process.She was also the same person who’d teamed up with Mirai to steal the Golden Book from the Light Shrine.And, apparently, she’d only done
Chapter 113: Agreement
Saint White’s request was clear.She wanted to hire us to destroy the Golden Book using my ability: World Rejector.From the outside, it sounded like the right thing to do. If the Golden Book really did bring chaos and temptation, then erasing it might just save the world from another war.Without the book… maybe there wouldn’t be anything left to fight over.But then I looked at Ayumi.Her hands were clenched on her lap, her expression darkened with visible stress.The Holy Temple’s actions—however noble they claimed to be—were like sharp blades, cutting through everything Ayumi stood for. It felt less like help, and more like a command to surrender.“Please don’t act like I’ve already agreed to your proposal,” Ayumi said coldly, her eyes locking onto Saint White’s.“This is for the better of everyone,” White replied calmly. “With the Light Shrine having no official heir, it should be dissolved. If we leave it be, it will only bring confusion and conflict in the future.”“That’s not
Chapter 112: White's Request
Is this real?No… It shouldn’t be.As far as I remember—no, as far as I know—I used my ability to erase her very existence from this world. Saint White should be nothing more than a memory, a ghost of history. And yet...There she stood. Flesh and blood. Breathing. Smiling.My heart pounded harder.Sister Angelina clung to her, tears streaming down her cheeks as if she had been reunited with a long-lost family member.“Don’t cry so much, dear. You’ll ruin my white sleeves,” Saint White said with a small sigh.“I’m sorry! I’m just… I’m so happy to see you again!” Angelina sobbed.Ayumi stepped forward, gripping her spear tightly. Momoka moved beside her, ready to strike at a moment’s notice.“Saint White... that means you were the one responsible for the deaths of thousands in the terrorist attack,” Ayumi growled, eyes filled with pain and rage.“That might be true... or it might not,” Saint White replied calmly, brushing a strand of silver hair behind her ear.Without warning, Ayumi a
Chapter 111: Saint White Returned
We then continued the meeting with a more serious mood now that our stomachs were full and the warm breakfast had settled in. The cheerful chatter faded, replaced by a heavy tension in the air as we turned to the matter at hand.Amber stood up and looked directly at Ayumi, her expression firm. “Ayumi,” she began, her voice calm but sharp like a blade, “I know this won’t be easy for you. But I need to say this clearly—your enemy is your sister, Mirai. If you still wish to fight her, then we’ll push forward with this mission. But if not... we may have to part ways with you here and now.”Ayumi’s body stiffened at those words. Her eyes lowered to her lap, and silence lingered as if even the desert wind outside had stopped to listen.“Amber, be gentle with her,” I interrupted, frowning at Amber’s bluntness. “Ayumi is still trying to process everything that happened last night. You don’t have to be so hard on her right now.”“Noah…” Lynn chimed in, her voice quiet but with weight behind it.
Chapter 110: Morning Break
The smell of something delicious wafted into my nose, slowly pulling me out of sleep.I blinked my eyes open, stretched my arms, and sat up with a big yawn. My whole body still felt a little sore, but the aroma of breakfast cooking overrode any thoughts of discomfort.Wait… where was I?Looking around, I realized I was inside a cave—definitely not my room or anywhere I’d slept before. The rocky walls curved gently overhead, and the warm morning light spilled through the entrance, revealing a vast desert just beyond.Near the mouth of the cave, I spotted Amber and Ayumi. The two of them were setting up a small table and cooking over a campfire like it was just another ordinary morning.It took me a moment, but then everything came rushing back—last night’s chaos. Ayumi being attacked by her own friends, Sister Yuna revealing herself as an enemy, and that terrifying spell that wiped everything out in a flash of light. It all felt like a dream now… or maybe a nightmare.Still dazed, I st
