LOGINThat morning, Kiora arrived at Rucif’s home alone. Shunning her usual royal retinue, the Princess of Green Land sought him out, carrying the mushroom soup he had requested. Along with the meal, she had brought provisions for the journey ahead.“Princess Kiora! You’re already here?” Rucif greeted her, having been occupied outside.“I’m here to deliver your soup!” she announced with a smile.“Mm, wonderful! I feel quite fortunate today,” Rucif said warmly.“Eat it while it’s still hot.”“Indeed, I shall! Have you eaten? Please, join me.”“Do you not mind?” Kiora asked softly.“Of course not! I’ve prepared something for you as well, Princess. Come inside.”Rucif led her into the treehouse. On the dining table in the living area, several delicious-looking dishes were already waiting.“Oh, I only brought mushroom soup, yet you’ve prepared quite a feast.”“Think nothing of it. Mushroom soup is the perfect companion to red seaweed from the Gobi Forest, Cubi fish, and golden peanut sauce,” Ru
The royal chef stared in bewilderment. He tried desperately to retch, hoping to expel the poison he had been forced to swallow. Terror gripped him, but as the seconds turned into minutes, nothing happened. He did not succumb to pain; he did not feel his life slipping away."What... what is happening?" he whispered."Khikhikhi!"A chilling laugh echoed through the gloom. A grotesque silhouette approached—a man whose features seemed to shift and blur in the low light."You won't die, young man! What they gave you was nothing but water," the figure sneered."Who are you? How could you know that?" the chef stammered, backing into the cold stone wall."Khikhikhi... because you aren't in this cell to be executed by poison. You are here to be my feast!""Get back! Whatever you are—get away from me!""No one will hear you, pathetic elf! Scream all you like! Not a single soul in Green Land can reach you now.""Stay away! Get—Aaaarghh!"The chef’s scream, initially a deafening roar of terror, a
In the depths of the forest in southwestern Green Land, a spectral figure drifted like a lingering shadow, and any plant it touched withered instantly into decay. The shadow glided toward a secluded clearing, seemingly drawn to an awaiting presence.“Abere! So, you are still alive,” the figure spoke.“Yes, Your Highness Azazel! I live, and I have returned here to find you!” replied Abere, having finally made her way back to Green Land."You came seeking me?" Azazel asked.“Your Highness, I have come! I traversed the dimensional portals to reach this place. Forgive me for taking so long,” the reddish-haired woman pleaded."No! You have done more than enough, Abere. I feared you had perished after impersonating me. Oh Abere, seeing you now brings me such great joy,” the man said."The thought of killing me never crossed their minds, Your Highness. They believed I was you! Instead, I was entombed in the shadow world, right beneath the river of darkness,” Abere said, recounting her harrow
Bruaakk!My eyes widened as the giant bird finally collapsed. Without wasting a second, Drex set to work, butchering the catch with movements that were remarkably efficient."Wow! You got a massive catch, Drex! You’re truly incredible!” I praised him sincerely. I had momentarily doubted his tiny form, but clearly, he remained a master hunter at heart."Lea, you can make fire, right?" he asked, glancing back at me."Yes, I can!" I replied firmly."Then make us a fire. I’m going to clean these feathers in the river!"I could only gape in silence as I watched him hoist the large bird's carcass with just one hand. Ow, wow! I keep forgetting that beneath that boyish exterior, he’s a powerful Lycan, not a little kitten! Hmm, his strength certainly wasn't lacking.While I prepared the campfire, Drex stayed busy at the riverbank. He seemed incredibly skilled at whittling tree branches into skewers using a small knife."Where did you get that knife, Drex?" I asked curiously.“I found it in Ruc
I glided through the vibrant, multi-colored meadows, letting the gentle breeze of Green Land brush against my wings. Behind me, Drex trailed along. His small body was still coated in the shimmering remnants of fairy dust that allowed him to levitate, though he still looked rather clumsy mid-air.“This is incredible, Lea! In all my life, I never imagined I’d actually fly!” Drex exclaimed. His voice was brimming with enthusiasm, a stark contrast to his tiny, boyish form.I let out a soft laugh as I watched him tumble head-over-heels in the sky. "Hahaha, but jumping as high as you do isn't much different from flying, is it?"“Yeah, but it still feels different! Aaaaa—!” Drex let out a joyful shout as he spun in circles.I paused for a moment, genuinely impressed. In mere minutes, he had already mastered his balance. He rose, plummeted, dove, and even had the nerve to pretend to sleep while drifting. A true Alpha through and through, I thought to myself. His ability to adapt was nothing s
Some of her guards returned to the palace, while the rest remained stationed outside."What are you doing? You look so focused," Kiora remarked."Brewing a medicinal potion—more specifically, a remedy infused with magic," Rucif explained."You forest elves certainly have a knack for medicine. What are you concocting this time?""Just a tonic for Drex. He burned through a great deal of energy during his transition to this world.""Is that common?" Kiora asked, leaning in."Quite so. Some elves even lose their memories when crossing dimensions. Drex is lucky to have retained his at all.""I see. So, do you spend all your free time brewing these potions?""Hoho, certainly not! When I have time to spare, I prefer to seek out a bit of excitement.""What kind of excitement?""Adventuring into other dimensions," Rucif said, his eyes lighting up. "I find magical artifacts, bring them back here, and study their properties.""My, you certainly make the most of your leisure time. It's quite diff
Joe and his fellow vampires looked shaken when Drex mentioned Heaven's Cliff. Joe, who was well aware of the place's dark reputation, grew deathly serious. Meanwhile, Rebbeca and her two female Lycan colleagues made their way casually toward the hospital kitchen. Serena and Samantha, who worked the
Drex and his two Lycan subordinates successfully brought back the humans who had been held captive by the vampires. They made it through the gate, and Rebbeca moved quickly to aid their escape. At that exact moment, Serena and Samantha, who had been searching for Rebbeca, arrived on the scene."Mis

The car carrying the new recruits through the illusory gate came to a halt.
