Soul Devourer Chapter 1 Episode 34 — The Struggling Hunters

Editor:
After escorting the mother and child to the nearby shelter, I scanned my surroundings to see if anyone else had been left behind, then dashed through the city.

Collapsed buildings burned as black smoke rose into the air. The corpses and bloodstains of those slain by trolls were scattered across the streets.

The air was hot and thick with the stench of blood.

I checked my phone for the current situation. A field reporter, his expression grim, was giving live updates with detailed reports.

Meanwhile, an online streamer, visibly excited, was broadcasting the ongoing battle between the hunters and the trolls.

Thousands of viewers were watching, and the comment section was moving rapidly.

From the gathered information, it seemed that only a few trolls acted alone, like the one I’d just defeated. Most were under the command of the Troll King.

A horde of trolls continued to rampage, destroying everything in their path and slaughtering anyone they encountered.

Many hunters had engaged them, but none had succeeded in taking them down.


“The hunters facing them must be low-ranked. The major clans haven’t arrived yet… If they don’t defeat them soon, the damage will only keep spreading.”


♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢


Nearly a hundred trolls led by the Troll King trampled the hunters in their path.


“St-stop! Damn it… LET GO! Let me—”


A hunter was seized in a massive hand and thrown into the troll’s gaping mouth.

Crunch, crunch — it chewed the man to pieces and swallowed with a wet gulp.

Blood dripped from the corners of its mouth as it set its sights on another target. Seeing that grotesque grin, a female mage stumbled back in terror, her legs giving out beneath her.


“A-a-aah—Kyaaaaaa!!!!”


The troll’s huge hand lunged toward her. She screamed, covering her head, but another hunter rushed in to intercept, pulling the troll away from her just in time.

The hunters gathered here were at best B-rank. Against a horde of trolls, they were simply outmatched.

Considering the difficulty of this battle, they needed multiple A-rank hunters—perhaps even S-ranks. At this rate, everyone here would be wiped out.


♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢♦︎♢


“Everyone! A great number of brave hunters have gathered to face this stampede! They’re fighting for their lives right now, but things are looking bad.
…
Many hunters have already been devoured… Please! Hurry, S-rank hunters, get here soon!”


A male streamer filmed the battle from a distance, his voice heavy with sorrow as he spoke to his viewers.

The comments flew by in a blur — words of encouragement for the hunters, and desperate pleas for an S-rank to arrive.

As the hunters’ morale began to falter, and the viewers’ hopes waned —

One of the trolls suddenly began clawing at its throat in agony and collapsed to its knees.

Short chapter but, goddamn! So gory, that man got minced! Just imagine the power in those jaws! 

But we must hold on to hope for Yuito is coming! Stay tuned!

    Well, it seems like the one of the trolls is poisoned at the end. Unnoticed.

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:

                   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...
