    • Chapter 40: Disappearance

      Chapter 40: Disappearance Cover
      by Kiki Buzz! At this moment, Xia Nan felt as though he had returned to that final night before his transmigration. Under the impact of a mountain-toppling force, his toes left the ground, and his body was hurled high into the air like a plaything in a toddler's hands. The intense pain radiating from his back vanished from his perception because it far exceeded the limits of what a human body could endure, replaced instead by a gradually blurring consciousness. He was seeing stars, and his internal organs…
    • Chapter 39: The Lizard

      Chapter 39: The Lizard Cover
      by Kiki It was a massive lizard nearly five meters long. Its entire body was covered in rough, stone-like greenish-grey scales, and a single glance was enough to convey the sheer power of its defensive capability. Eight thick, short, and muscular legs supported the bloated and heavy torso above them. Subterranean crystal-like brown bone spurs extended from the crown of its head and the tip of its snout all the way back to the tip of its tail. Its eerie green vertical pupils gleamed with a faint light,…
    • Chapter 38: Petrification

      Chapter 38: Petrification Cover
      by Kiki The real world is not a video game. Before a boss makes its grand entrance, it does not grant you a sudden cinematic cutscene, nor does it utilize a sprawling, wide-open arena and high-pitched, stirring background music to set the stage for the impending bitter struggle. The onset of battle, much like its conclusion, is abrupt and fleeting. Most of the time, it is like a wild rabbit beneath a falcon's talons, or a mosquito in a tree frog's mouth. Facing the far more powerful predators of the…
    • Chapter 37: The Courtyard

      Chapter 37: The Courtyard Cover
      by Kiki "This is it!" Larry, his heavy breathing now steady, spoke with a tone of palpable excitement. The squad had ventured just a little further into the forest, and as the density of the structures in the grass along the roadside increased, they finally arrived at their destination. "Is this where the adventurer found the wooden token?" Haian the half-elf held his longbow, his silver-gray eyes scanning the surroundings with intense curiosity. It was a sprawling courtyard complex. Unlike the scattered…
    • Chapter 36: The Wooden Building

      Chapter 36: The Wooden Building Cover
      by Kiki In just this one night, the information Xia Nan gathered from the half-elf Haian and the rogue Wood surpassed everything he had learned over the previous days combined. Being out in the wilderness, neither the time nor the space allowed him to truly begin training and studying new combat techniques. However, he now had a tangible goal to strive for: learn two more combat techniques and attain a "Professional" rank. Even if he eventually left the adventuring life, the status of a "Professional" would…
    • Chapter 35: A Closed Loop

      Chapter 35: A Closed Loop Cover
      by Kiki "The Adventurer's Association?!" The half-elf's response caught Xia Nan completely off guard. "How is that possible? I’ve been to the Riverdale branch a few times and walked through nearly the entire hall. I didn't see anyone selling skill books anywhere." "Could it be..." "Exactly." Haian nodded, tilting his index finger toward the ceiling. "On the second floor." Hearing this, Xia Nan grew even more bewildered. He thought back to his conversation with the alchemy shop owner a few days ago…
    • Chapter 34: The Class

      Chapter 34: The Class Cover
      by Kiki Strictly speaking from the perspective of time, it had been less than half a month since Xia Nan met his end in a car accident in his past life and crossed over into this world. The only adventurers he had truly interacted with deeply enough to share a proper conversation—aside from the individuals currently sitting before him—was Maggie, the hunter from the "Bottom-Feeder Squad." Consequently, prior to this evening, he had lacked a clear understanding of where his own strength ranked. He had…
    • Chapter 33: Conditions (4k)

      Chapter 33: Conditions (4k) Cover
      by Kiki The Mist Forest was vast and boundless. The dense magic permeating the air allowed this mysterious land of thick woods and brush to nurture countless creatures. Four Rust Monsters, five adventurers, and a tense, fierce battle that could have decided life or death. Yet, placed within the grand scale of the entire forest, it was merely one of the countless cycles of predation, hunting, eating, and being eaten that occurred every single second. The campfire flickered. The orange-red firelight seemed…
    • Chapter 32: The Venom Glands (4k)

      Chapter 32: The Venom Glands (4k) Cover
      by Kiki Fwoosh! The sharp, fierce wind whipped up by high-speed movement caused the black fringe of hair on Xia Nan's forehead to sway violently. A phantom flashed across his line of sight, and Wood's figure, holding twin daggers, was already close at hand. "Young master, are you alright?" His anxious and concerned gaze swept meticulously up and down the half-elf's body a few times. Seeing that there were no external injuries, he finally let out a sigh of relief. In truth, Wood was merely letting…
    • Chapter 31: Don’t Lose Focus

      Chapter 31: Don’t Lose Focus Cover
      by Kiki Rust Monsters are also known as "underdark scavengers" or "subterranean roamers." Just like many other insectoids, they typically dwell within the countless deep, winding caverns of the Underdark. The pitch-black, sunless environment has caused these creatures' eyesight to gradually degenerate, leaving their vulnerable eyes safely covered beneath thick, protective carapaces. In contrast, the feather-like antennae on both sides of their heads and the fin-like long tails covered in dense bristles act…
