“Who ARE you?” The question sounded like something straight out of a philosophy text, but Hal knew that wasn’t what the Lord was truly asking. Faced with Lord Gruash’s direct, unwavering stare, Hal began with the most visible truth. “We’re adventurers from the Kingdom of Lazulseed.” “In a sense, that’s accurate. But you–” the Lord pointed at Fieda. “Fieda, I believe you ARE an adventurer. The way you offered your formal bow was clearly the mark of a trained…-

After delivering a psychological one-two punch to Hal and Ize, Fieda exhaled through his nose with what could only be described as satisfaction. Then he turned to address the Lord’s suggestion. “As for joining the exploration,” he said, “that depends on the floors in question. We still don’t know how this Dungeon’s system works, so I can’t give a definitive answer just yet. And frankly, even if these two can manage in the deeper levels, there’s a good chance I…

That morning, the trio froze at the sight of the horsebus waiting outside their inn. The one from the previous day had been quite luxurious already, but this was clearly in a different league. “Good morning, everyone,” Shezel greeted them cheerfully, stepping down from the coachman’s seat. Ize glanced toward the door of the horsebus, then exchanged looks with the others. A bad feeling settled in the pit of their stomachs. “The Lord is waiting inside. Please, don’t just…

“You sure took your time.” “Ah… déjà vu,” Hal murmured. “What was that?” “Oh, nothing.” Earlier, the trio had spent the afternoon wandering through the food stalls lining the main street, savoring skewers of Dungeon-sourced meat. Tragically, Speraniessa had no Milk Toad. The sheer despair nearly brought tears to their eyes. But just as all hope seemed lost, they stumbled upon a stand selling skewers of Silk Toad… or it was supposed to. They were already sold out…

“Lover-of-All…?” At the title Hal revealed, Fieda furrowed his brows, his tone skeptical. “Yeah,” Hal replied grimly. He recited aloud the description he’d seen in Loudipa’s status window: Title: Lover-of-All One who holds a heart full of affection and compassion for all things. “It doesn’t sound like something dangerous,” Ize said hesitantly. “Right?” Fieda agreed with a thoughtful nod. “SERIOUSLY!? You two are way too calm about…

Winter had settled in fully now. The air had taken on that distinct sharpness of the year’s end, and a faint yet restless excitement could be felt rippling through the town. The manor, however, remained mostly unchanged. Looking closely, they could notice that a few of the servants had vanished from their usual posts, but none of the trio asked questions. They had agreed among themselves to pretend they hadn’t noticed a thing, unless the Lord offered an explanation himself. At the moment,…

Once the flag was raised, there was no changing the course of the story. They weren’t going to catch up to Gruash even if they rushed after him now, and they couldn’t very well break the flag themselves. The only thing they could do was trust the measures they’d left in Gruash and Loudipa’s hands. Hopefully they wouldn’t be needed… but if the worst came to pass, they’d serve their purpose. “Well, well, how WONDERFUL. Now then… how should we move next?” Hal muttered under…

As the silhouette of Speraniessa slowly faded into the distance, Loudipa turned to glance at the man beside him. Gruash’s face, calm and composed, wore a carefully crafted mask. But Loudipa could tell: his heart had been left behind, full of thoughts of the lover he’d just parted with. “I’m sorry I made you wait four years, Brother,” Loudipa said quietly. “You’ve done nothing wrong,” replied Gruash. “If anything, I should be the one apologizing. For failing to become the…

Exactly as planned, the brothers returned. Loudipa was now officially the territory’s Lord, and Gruash, true to his word, was once again “his own man.” And they brought with them enormous news: “Long story short, the King will be replaced this coming spring,” Loudipa announced the moment he arrived, practically beaming. “Then there will be no more fools picking fights with Speraniessa! You can rest easy now, Ize. You’re free to marry me whenever you’d like.” “Dude, I’m…
