Lily's Observatory

Vlas, one of the〈 Semi-Tsar 〉and leader of the shadowy transcendent-class forces, abruptly came to a halt and silently raised his right fist. At that signal, everyone advancing behind him immediately stopped moving. Their reaction was disciplined and devoid of waste. He had been tracking Yuito Matsubara with【Telescopic Vision】, but the situation had changed. The target had turned around. Moreover, he was closing the distance in a straight line. So he noticed the pursuit... Well, some of them have low-level 【Presence Concealment】 and 【Mana Concealment】 . It was only a matter of time before we were exposed. Vlas turned on his heel and surveyed all of his subordinates. Though they were transcendent-class individuals, most were nothing more than major criminals and remnants of dark clans. Yet at this moment, their eyes resembled beasts staring at a clear reward. “The target has noticed our pursuit. We'll review the operation.” His voice was calm, but there was no room for disobedience....

He arrived at the plaza before the fifth S-Rank Dungeon. Stepping out of the back seat, he exchanged a brief word with Ivan before joining the line of Hunters waiting to complete the entry procedures. The process concluded without issue, and he activated【 Void Magic 】. Samael the Calamity Centipede and the others were summoned to his side. Leading his three familiars, he stepped through the dungeon entrance. His vision flipped, and what appeared before him was a familiar sight. Just like the previous undead-type dungeons, a vast, desolate graveyard stretched out before him. As he advanced through the field filled with cold, stagnant air, he encountered a monster. A skeleton draped in a tattered black robe. Its appearance closely resembled a Lich or Tamuel, but there was one decisive difference. It carried a large scythe that emitted a dull glow, and it even possessed【Necromancy】. Capable of both close and long-range combat, it appeared to be an all-rounder undead. “...Though it's n...

Ten years after the catastrophe of the corruption incident caused by the Douki, the great disaster later named the “Douki Incident.” “Wait up, wait up~!” Gathered in our garden, playing together, were the goblin children of the Great Forest Autonomous Region, along with a pink-skinned goblin boy. Yes, him. The one who had once been the Douki. Despite all that talk about living inside me and what-not, less than a month later he declared, “ I’m bored! ” manifested himself, and has been living normally like this ever since. Back then, Arisa had stared in exasperation and quipped, “ So you can just come out normally? ” In any case, over these past ten years, the boy has completely become a familiar face, doted on by the goblins of the Great Forest Autonomous Region. Though he himself claimed he was the one looking after the brats. “Yūichi.” A voice called out from behind me. I knew who it was without even turning around. “Arisa.” When I answered, Arisa sat down beside me. “It feels nice.” ...

When I came to, I was lying in a pure white space. On a whim, I checked my own status. “Status, open.” ━━━━━━━━━━ Name — ERROR Level — ERROR Strength —          ERROR Magic Power — ERROR Vitality —            ERROR Speed —              ERROR Attribute — ERROR Skills — ERROR ━━━━━━━━━━ Even my name, everything, was displayed as ERROR . I understood at once. So this was proof of having reached godhood. “Well done, Yuichi Otogi.” Suddenly, a voice echoed from nowhere. And then the one who appeared was a familiar face. The goddess we had met when we were summoned to this other world. The former Hero, Avril. “Though I guess there’s no point making a dramatic entrance like that~★” The moment she said that, Avril dropped the act, her expression softening into something much more casual. “So, you’ve probably got all kinds of questions, right? Go ahead, ask away?” “Then I won’t hold back.” Things we...

The Second seat of the〈 Semi-Tsar 〉, Vlas, who had secretly recruited S-Rank-class major criminals, had reserved an entire luxury restaurant and summoned the masters of several dark clans. On the surface, they appeared to be unremarkable mid-tier clans. Behind the scenes, however, they were full-fledged criminal organizations involved in illegal trading, assassinations, mercenary work, and other illicit activities. The clan masters who led these rough men were all veterans who had survived countless life-and-death situations. Their sharp, blade-like gazes converged upon Vlas. Yet the man himself accepted them all with an easy smile. “Thank you for gathering despite your busy schedules.” Gently swirling the wine in his glass, Vlas spoke calmly. “There is only one reason I called you here today… I have a job for you.” A brief silence followed. Eventually, one of the clan masters asked in a low voice: “...A job for us? Then this is... that kind of work?” “You catch on quickly.” Vlas nodd...

Inside the car heading toward the fifth S-Rank Dungeon.
