It was already midnight when I returned to the tavern. And there had been no word from Drey or Rage.That meant they were still working on their task and hadn't encountered any problems.I would have received a notification if one of them died, but I didn't, so it should be fine for them.I'm not sure how strong the Axwell family Head is, but I doubt he's S-rank because there are only about 5 or 6 S-ranks in the empire that are widely known.There could be some who have hidden well, and it would be very unlucky for me if the Axwells had one.I turned on the lamp in my room, and Wise entered, carrying some food."Here is your food, Master.""Um, just leave it on the table."We examined our harvest using the light that was burning inside the room.We didn't hesitate to plunder every single chamber of the brothel on the way back. Alicia had her own room inside the brothel, while all the other women shared a single room.I did not cause any harm to anyone else.I was not one to judge whet
I stood on top of a mountain, watching the Axwell family's mansion as if I were a god watching over its world.My eyes detected multiple demonic auras, totalling at least 500.They were all Mystic rank or higher.I didn't tell Dray and Rage to do it on their own. It was possible, no matter how powerful they were, but it would take too long.And they got it right away.The numerous demonic monsters were creatures we had raised within the dungeon, and this would be their first appearance.I let out a breath as I watched them slowly surround the mansion.I was nervous as if I were presenting to the world a project I had been working on for years.They were my creations.It felt like a thousand butterflies were fluttering around inside my stomach, causing me to lose my appetite.I was actually concerned about their deaths.When it comes to my own 'people,' things are quite different."Master here are the skills we've so far instilled in them."I took the paper and examined it. It gave me
Lucas's figure moved astutely and efficaciously around a swarm of unknown creatures.His figure would flicker once and then every time he moved as if he were moving twice as fast as them. Then reappearing behind any of the monsters, catching them off guard.Slash!Lucas appeared behind one of the monsters and swung his blade towards the monster's neck.The blade blurred as he swung, racing through the air at breakneck speed. His movements were enigmatic, they were the true form of Axwell's Sword Technique.It was a sword technique that emphasized attacking with a burst of pace, increasing the speed of a single part of the body.Others might think that someone has sped up the blade a few times while the body remains stable.It happened so fast that the blade's afterimage lingered in the air for a split second.Another head had fallen.Lucas mentally added up the numbers.‘33’The monster had died for real. In fact, the monster had died three times, and Lucas had killed 33 of them, for
[A new sin has awakened in the vicinity][Finding the exact location...][ding][ding][ding]The system beeped three times before displaying the location. Surprisingly, it emphasised Conrad's exact position.Conrad had undoubtedly awakened a sin on his own. Perhaps it was his father's death that acted as a catalyst.I'll never know, but I knew it was time for me to make my entrance.Things had taken a different turn than I had anticipated, and the mission had changed.[The current mission has been altered][Kill the holder of the Sin of Wraith][Reward - One System Roll]The prize was mediocre. But there was more to it.[The Sin of Wraith will prove to be an invaluable ally. Make an ally of the bearer of the Sin of Wraith.][Reward - Potion of Gaia (Not for use by the host)]I examined the potion and concluded that it was a waste because I couldn't use it.[Epic Gaia Potion - Awakens the person.]It was quite simple.If I were a genius and drank this, I'd turn into a super genius.I
[Mission Completed][Wrath’s Trust][Potion of Gaia obtained]I now held the potion in my hands. Things went very smoothly for me, I expected to have to try for several days to persuade Conrad.But I believe I accidentally struck the iron while it was hot.Because his emotions were volatile and he was insecure, my offer of assistance was like a ray of light in the darkness that engulfed him.They say that beggars cannot be choosers.Conrad believed he had no choice and that everything had vanished. He had truly lived in the dark, unaware of how a noble family as large as his's operates.He'd forgotten that the Axwells owned more than just this one mansion and this small plot of land.I took the potion out.And presented it to him.He'd stopped sobbing and was lying on the ground, staring aimlessly."What exactly is this?""I wouldn't feed you poison because it would be a waste of poison."Conrad's mouth opened and closed a few times as he returned his gaze to those two emotionless eye
“WHAT?!!”"Didn't you know?" Lisa inquired, her head tilted to the side. Her eyes shone with a small smirk and a glow.Lisa had been living lavishly for the past few months, her two small children attending the best children's academy in town, and she would spend the rest of her time at gatherings or at home managing the shop.Life was great. Her life had improved 100 times over what it had been previously. But now that she had everything she desired, she desired even more.She was at a wife's gathering the other day when one of the wives brought her 12-month granddaughter.The baby bun was so adorable that she and the other wives almost had to fight over it.That's when she found out.She desperately desired a grandson or granddaughter."No one ever warned me about something like that, is it necessary?" I frowned."Who would warn you about something good? Idiot.” Lisa pouted as if she was displeased.I was drenched in perspiration.To be honest, my tastes in women have shifted signif
I paid attention to the woman kneeling in front of me, she was part of a group of covert surveillance spies I had subdued in the previous months.I had already forgotten her name, but luckily I had a system that allowed me to see people's status.[Meredith]I don't remember her name, so this was my first meeting with her.Perhaps a new member of the intelligence team.Her reports on the empire's current affairs were...The Empire and the Beast Empire's peace talks had broken down, and the two empires are no longer allies.I had no idea how this could have happened.They were just a month ago in the accident at the academy, saving each other's arses, and now they are almost at war.I had a bad feeling about the city I was supposed to take over because it shared borders with the beast empires.Her subsequent reports stated that a battle took place between the Brightwing army and the Orc army at Altina Plain, in the western expanse of the Whitepalace Duchy.Although small encounters were
The old nobles realized that getting on the good side of this 'nephew' would be beneficial to them.They brought their most beautiful daughters in the hopes of catching the nephew's eye.All of the noble ladies were looking forward to meeting the man their father and mother had mentioned.If they were lucky, they would be chosen as the man's wife. The young noble ladies knew nothing about the man, but they knew that marrying a young man was always preferable to marrying an old ugly noble who wanted to eat young meat.So they put on their best dresses, puffed up their chests, and tightened their corsets to look stunning.Nonetheless, they were given bad news."Riel will arrive tomorrow rather than today."Lori elaborated."What?!" exclaimed a noble."How can he be disrespectful to the Duchess? Even though he is the duchess's nephew, he has no right to disrespect her!"The nobleman who was yelling didn't have a daughter.Isla mocked the noble, but it was true. She had planned to meet he
