Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 31 — A Powerful and Useful Item

Editor:
The next day. I visited the B-rank dungeon in Nakano Ward. The field that spread before me was a forest where the trees weren’t too densely packed.

Wearing the《Hermit’s Robe》, I advanced deeper inside without drawing any unnecessary attention from other parties.

Bzzzt! Bzzzt!

A faint buzzing reached my ears. When I turned toward the sound, a bee about a meter long hovered in place, its wings beating rapidly.


“…That’s way too big. Disgusting.”


Three of them suddenly flew at me, their speed like arrows loosed from a bow.

I deflected the aimed stingers with my dagger, leapt back to create some distance, then immediately cloaked myself with【Stealth】. Placing my hand on the ground—


“«Flame Pillar»”


All three were engulfed in a fiery column and reduced to ashes.


『Magic Power +7 UP』

『Strength +7 UP』

『Endurance +8 UP』

『Agility +7 UP』

『Intelligence +7 UP』

『Spirit +7 UP』

『Dexterity +7 UP』

『Luck +7 UP』

『Acquired【Poison Resistance】Lv.4』


The Murder Hornet flies at high speed and attacks with a stinger dripping with neurotoxic venom.

To challenge this place safely, one needs a mage capable of【Holy Magic】 to heal wounds and status ailments.

I’m solo, and of course, I don’t have【Holy Magic】. If I’d gotten even a scratch, it could’ve been bad. Still, this level of strength isn’t a problem.

Besides, these things possess【Poison Resistance】, so the more I hunt them, the less threatening their stingers become.


『Level has increased to 20』

『Magic Power +7 UP』

『Strength +7 UP』

『Endurance +8 UP』

『Agility +7 UP』

『Intelligence +7 UP』

『Spirit +7 UP』

『Dexterity +7 UP』

『Luck +7 UP』

『Skill【Poison Resistance】Lv.5 UP』


♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢


I headed toward the boss room. The glowing orb shone brilliantly, and a massive bee monster—about two meters tall—appeared.

The Queen Hornet.

But looking at its status, it was merely an upgraded version of the Murder Hornet, not something that would give me trouble.

As the Queen Hornet began to move, I disappeared with【Stealth】. Its compound eyes darted about, scanning the area, but it couldn’t find me.

I suddenly appeared right in front of it and drove my dagger into its head. The creature dissolved into glittering particles of light.


『Magic Power +11 UP』

『Strength +11 UP』

『Endurance +12 UP』

『Agility +11 UP』

『Intelligence +11 UP』

『Spirit +11 UP』

『Dexterity +11 UP』

『Luck +11 UP』


When I opened the treasure chest, I found boss materials and a small vial filled with a toxic-looking liquid.


“…What’s this? I’ve never seen this kind of potion before.”


Using the magic circle, I returned to the surface and immediately asked for an appraisal of the vial.


“This is an《Enchantment Potion》. This particular one, when applied to a weapon, grants the properties of the venom of the Queen Hornet to the weapon.”


So that means it doesn’t just boost physical damage — it can inflict status ailments too.

That’s amazing.


“Matsubara-sama, this item is extremely dangerous. If possible, would you allow the Guild to purchase it from you?”


I get where he’s coming from, but it’s such a powerful and useful item...


“I’m sorry.”


“…Understood. Please handle it with extreme caution.”


“I will. Thank you very much.”

It Seems the Convenience Store Clerk Ossan That Got Dragged Into the Teleportation of an Entire Class Will Make Use of the Leftover Skills the Heroes Didn’t Want and Become the Strongest

Editor:
Image
                   Author: Ayase Hiura A middle-aged convenience store clerk gets caught up in a hero summoning and is transported to another world! Yuichi Otogi, a dull 35-year-old single man, gets dragged into what's known as a "class transfer" to another world. While the summoned heroes each receive a cheat skill from the goddess and are reincarnated, Otogi was only caught up in the summoning by accident—so all the cheats were already taken, and he didn’t get one. As a consolation, the goddess forcibly dumps into him a bunch of leftover, discarded skills she had gathered for cheat-skill reference and sends him off to the other world. His stats are low, and his skills seem useless. But the old guy doesn’t give up. Before he knows it, he finds himself surrounded by girls—and even some pretty boys—who, for some reason, are all fond of him. And he doesn’t entirely dislike the attention, either. When he makes full use of those...

Konbini Ossan Volume 1 Chapter 25 – Herb Gathering and Skill Imbuing

Editor:
After dealing with the man, I checked the requests posted at the guild. Requests are broadly divided into two types:   - One is the standard request — These are the ones taken on by a single adventurer or a party, and the job ends once the request is fulfilled.   - The other is called a permanent request — For example, exterminating wolves or gathering medicinal herbs – jobs that are always available and have no limit. These do not require prior acceptance at the counter; simply bringing proof of the monster hunt or collected materials will be enough to process the request as completed. No matter how many times these are fulfilled, permanent requests are never withdrawn. By the time I checked the requests, it was already early afternoon, so the easy jobs had all been taken. Therefore, I didn’t formally accept any request and decided to fulfill a permanent one instead. Among them, the one I aimed for was herb gathering . There were several reasons, but the main one was simple —...

Konbini Ossan Volume 2 Chapter 26 — A Man Named Yuichi Otsugi

Editor:
After Shuri-kun deliciously took my virginity, the two of us returned to the shop and completed various contracts in writing. Arisa looked curiously at Shuri-kun, who seemed a bit worn out. But she likely didn’t suspect that Shuri-kun and I had done the deed. Surely, we hadn’t been found out. Or rather, we must not be found out. If Arisa knew, she might genuinely start to hate me. Living together while being looked at like filth by my own niece… That kind of hell is unbearable even to imagine. And yet— Thinking about it more, maybe it wouldn’t be so bad in the short term? (E/N: You masochist freak Unc! 🤣) Well, let's set irrelevant thoughts aside for now. After signing the contracts with me and promising to formalize them later with official documents from the royal palace, Shuri-kun and Marceline went home. Then the peak business hours came, which Arisa and I handled together, and night eventually fell. There was no one left in the shop. At this time, we rarely get customers. Occ...
