“Huh?” Fay Rubanessel was bewildered. It was morning after a deep sleep. She opened her eyes, feeling as refreshed as any other day, perhaps even a bit more so. So, what did she do yesterday? She spent a pleasant time at the riding grounds with other nobles her age. The most memorable event was conversing with the young Count she secretly had a crush on. After returning home, as usual, she soaked in a flower-petal bath and received a massage from her maid. What else did she do? She devoured…-

"Treason! In times like these, a politician as a puppet of the Allied Nations!" Karel slammed his hand on the desk, causing the medals and decorations on his uniform to clink and sway. A strand of his neatly pomaded, graying brown hair fell onto his wrinkled forehead. "Calm down, Karel. This won't solve anything." The man spoke calmly, basking in the sunlight streaming through the window. His voice was utterly indifferent. "We can't even decipher the Allied codes properly, and how many spies…-

Her name, printed on the forged ID with the large, dark blue Dochen flag, was "Elga Schmidt." An ardent supporter of the Republican Party, born and raised in Nephiran, the capital of Dochen, and the new secretary to Congressman Bovan. This was Sasha's new name and identity. "The color wasn't right, so I had to redo it twice. It turned out better than I thought." Sasha didn't know the name or identity of the person who had dyed her hair red. She only knew that they had a meticulous and rather…

During the war, it served as a field hospital. Many soldiers and civilians lost or saved their lives there, and Gerard's subordinates were no exception. He watched the annex of the hospital, which still bore the scars of a missile launched by the Dochen Republic. The place, where countless soldiers took their last breaths, was now serving its purpose as a pediatric ward. On a dark, moonless night, as the cigar Gerard was smoking burned down to the size of his little finger, a woman in a white apron…

“Miss, let’s go relieve ourselves too.” At Malnyeon’s suggestion, Yeohwa went in the opposite direction from the men. After relieving themselves in the overgrown bushes, they returned to find the woodcutter and herb gatherer conversing with very serious faces. ‘They can make those expressions too?’ Just then, the two men saw Yeohwa and simultaneously closed their mouths. A strange sense of foreboding made her heart race. ‘It’s nothing.’ As Yeohwa tried to calm…-

“There can be no bloodshed in the sacred land.” Baekoh hurried into the building. His quarters were always warm, almost hot. But now, chilled to the bone, even this warmth couldn’t dispel the cold that had seeped deep into him. “Ugh… cold.” Baekoh, his face pale, quickly went to the brazier. The feeling of his insides freezing was, as always, dreadful. The cold snatched away all warmth, leaving nothing behind. “Sigh…” A long sigh escaped Baekoh’s…

“Miss, don’t mind those scoundrels. We have a warrior with us.” Malnyeon smiled proudly, looking at the main room. “Right, we had a warrior.” Yeohwa muttered softly. Her complexion darkened. The warrior, whom Jin Seobang had assigned to her, boasting of his excellent martial arts skills, had done nothing but grumble and drink throughout the journey. He was so fond of alcohol that he even drank while riding, and it wasn't just once or twice that he almost fell off his horse due to…

“Alright.” After Jin Seobang left the room, Yeohwa went straight to her father’s quarters. An old maidservant, who was wiping her father’s hands and feet, quickly stepped aside. “Hwajindaeg, step outside for a moment.” As soon as the maidservant withdrew, Yeohwa's expression, which had seemed unbreakable, crumbled. “Father…” Yeohwa sat next to her father, her face on the verge of tears. She took his hand, as thin as a branch. “How did it come to……

It was a night of fierce, cutting winds that seemed to freeze everything. The wind, piercing to the bone, was so violent that the shutters rattled against the windows, making a loud noise. However, the room, with its pale white lanterns hanging everywhere, was warm and bright, in contrast to the weather outside. “I apologize. There’s nothing I can do now.” The physician, who had examined the woman lying straight on the massive bed, apologized, not knowing what to do. Besides the…

The oppressive heat and even more stifling humidity clung to the air. The moisture soaking Chiyeong’s training uniform felt all too real. Yet, it was merely a prison of consciousness constructed from his memories, knowledge, and experiences. The fusion of an esper’s abilities and scientific technology always produced astonishing results. If they could create new worlds so seamlessly, it made Chiyeong wonder if espers were truly the new gods of humanity. In that moment, Gi Baekhan’s cruel…-
