It was the hottest season of the year, and the ginkgo tree leaves in the Astrology Towerβs courtyard curled under the sunlight, looking wilted and sickly. Β Even the palaceβs notoriously domineering cat seemed to lose interest in troubling Qiao Guanxing, lazily lying in the shade beneath the tree, enjoying the coolness of the stone table. Β Occasionally, a gentle breeze would pass, and the copper bird wind chimes outside the window would slowly turn, emitting a few faint, crispβ¦- 27.9βKββ’βCompleted
Chapter 9: The Demon King Arrives in a Pinch! (Part 1) Ever since the day we saved the Simurgh, Iβve been allowed to leave my roomβon the condition that Iβm always accompanied by Beatrice. I was so happy that I jumped on Nox and thanked him just a little while ago. βI deeply thank you for saving the Simurgh.β βWhoa! Please, raise your head!β As soon as she entered the room, Beatrice bowed deeply to express her gratitude. I was so surprised that I panicked. When she finallyβ¦- 29.7βKββ’βOngoing
- Chapter 8: I Protected an Injured Monster in the Forest, So I Want to Bring It Back! (Part 2) Nox picked me up, and a dark purple mist enveloped us. For a moment, everything went pitch black, and when I cautiously opened my eyes again, I realized we were no longer in the room but in the middle of a forest. After setting me down, I looked around curiously. The forest looked familiar. βIs thisβ¦ where I used to be?β βItβs a different part, but yes, the same forest. This is the areaβ¦

- Chapter 7: I Protected an Injured Monster in the Forest, So I Want to Bring It Back! (Part 1) Since then, practicing magic for about an hour every day has become part of my routine. Zain taught me so carefully that within less than a week, Iβve gotten somewhat decent at controlling my magic. Β I created a flame in my palm, then conjured another flame of the same size. The first flame was red, and the new one was blue. Right now, Iβm practicing creating multiple spells at the sameβ¦

- Chapter 6: Iβll Work Hard on My Magic Training! (Part 2) Iβve come to realize that demons are actually really kind people. Humans spread rumors that demons are evil, but I feel like those are all baseless lies. A little before I was abandoned in the forest, there were days when I couldnβt eat for several days. While wandering the streets looking for food, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of me, and I was drawn toward it. A boy dressed in expensive clothes stepped out, and I askedβ¦

- Chapter 5: Iβll Work Hard on My Magic Training! Since I now have a teacher, Iβm going to give it my all in my magic training! As Beatrice helped me get dressed, I found myself thinking about Oreole. Nox had said heβd look for him, but I hadnβt heard anything about Oreole since then. For some reason, I felt like I shouldnβt ask about him directly, so Iβve just been waiting and observing. βIβve prepared your meal.β βThank you.β I expressed my gratitude, but Beatriceβ¦

- Operation: Rescue the Second Prince! (Part 5) The first thing I saw was a stern-looking elderly man lying in bed, breathing shallowly. The moment I saw him, I felt an inexplicable sense of unease. βFather, Iβve brought the hero.β Lukeβs tone had become stiff, a stark contrast to before. The king, who had been lying with his eyes closed, slowly opened them and looked at me. His pale blue eyes fixed on me, and I noticed the faintest hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth. βTheβ¦

- Operation: Rescue the Second Prince! (Part 4) As I sheathed Oreole again, I heard a soft clap-clap and turned to see Prince Luke smiling and applauding. Β "To cut through those chains so effortlesslyβtruly impressive." "...Ah, thank you." Β Feeling a bit embarrassed, I scratched my cheek. Prince Luke stepped out of the cell and stood beside me, saying there was no need for formalities or titles. Β "Then, Iβll take you up on that, Luke." "Sure. Itβs moreβ¦

- Operation: Rescue the Second Prince! (Part 3) When I pushed the door, it opened easily. I slipped inside on tiptoe. It seemed only the guard I had seen earlier was stationed here. Β As I moved forward, peeking into each cell, I found one that was clearly different from the others. It was sparsely furnished but had a bed and a water bucketβsimple amenities not provided to the other prisoners. The cell was secured with heavy locks and chains, and inside, lying on the bed, was a man withβ¦

- Operation: Rescue the Second Prince! (Part 2) I made my way through the crowd gathered around the trees and headed toward the castle. Prince Luke was likely imprisoned somewhere in the castle dungeons. Β "Iβll guide you." "Right! Oreole, you were the first Heroβs confidant, so you know the castleβs layout, donβt you?" "Indeed. Though it might have changed a bit since then." Β I ran through the streets, heading straight for the towering castle. When I reached theβ¦
