MA: 78. The Wolf Who Never Could

Red set her sights on the Queen’s shell.

Now that it was undefended, and now that the light of tree was accessible, she had free reign to take them down.

“You yearn to be human, and yet, you carry a weapon capable of –!”

“Ever heard of a ...

MA: 77. Only One Rose Must Bloom In The Garden

“BRRR!”

“Rockie!” Red shouted, her eyes wracked with fury.

The Steel Bug, which easily weighed over a hundred kilograms – perhaps hundreds – was thrown like a ragdoll across the field of flesh. It skidding along helplessly, tumbling into stray Bitter Dregs until finally gr...

MA: 76. A Million Roses

A single shot from the Fairytale’s Bane was bound obliterate the Queen of Sweet and Bitter Thorns.

It was a fated inevitability.

“Even if your HP can’t drop to zero, I’ll have to make sure that you’re erased from this world!”

Red carved the air with her blade before ...

954. Deja Vu

The colorful red and blue scheme appeared far too childish for a place where death was commonplace. She had expected the Fifth Level to be a singular, analogous mass of steel.

But contrary to the trend of the upper Levels, there was a severe lack of metal on this floor.

Indeed. The Fi...

953. Arrival At The Fifth Level

How was an inanimate object that lacked intelligence supposed to understand the meaning of humanity? Retrieving nutrients in nature was a physical action. Why would a newborn machine believe otherwise?

In a way, it was almost natural to take what wasn’t theirs, because that was all they k...

951. The Descent Into The Fifth Level

“Infecta Rot were culled in the upper Levels? Color me surprised.” Horus was rather impressed by the Repenters, enough to verbally applaud them.

However, her voice was lined with sarcasm. In truth, the reason why Frost had received the Tribulation-end message was because they had cleare...

MA: 75. Emotions Rising

The Queen lunged forward, snipping the air as she took this opportunity to strike down the unmoving Red.

“The agony of the lashes must be causing your mind to reel, no!? That is one of the downsides of the flesh! I’ve heard that suffering is integral to human experiences!”

MA: 74. Hatchling Red VS The Queen of Sweet and Bitter Thorns

A spectacle of red and black filled the summit of corpses. Punctuating the air were the sounds of clashing steel. Yet only one of the combatants had a weapon made of metal. The other – an oversized scissor – was made of hardened brambles.

Its DEF stat exceeded that of the brambles that ...

950. The Second Tribulation Ending

Gheist.

The term referred to supernatural forces, such as spirits or ghosts. On Earth, Poltergeists for example were spirits that could possess objects and were responsible for the mysterious movement of household items.

In Elysia however, ghosts existed in a severely limited manner. ...

949. The Second Tribulation

The Site groaned with a malevolent churning of gears. Machinery invaded the corridors of the Site through meaty holes that resembled a birth canal.

948. The Fourth Level

The Fourth Level was significantly different from the Levels above.

The rivets that nailed metal panels together along the walls and ceiling were nowhere to be found. A singular mass of steel made up the walls, the floors, the ceiling – and even the furniture.

It was all connected, ...

MA: 73. The Nutrients of Humanity

But the moment they were close to eliminating the apple, corpses rose from the ground, each covered in brambles.

Thankfully, these versions of the Bitter Thorns were far we...

946. Elevator Chase

Frost had experienced what it’s like to freefall before. Given her absurdly high stats, she’d come out unscathed from no matter what height she fell from.

This was because of a physical phenomenon called terminal velocity.

In short, she would fall at a set speed due to the resista...

The end was within reach.

They followed an animal path leading towards the light. It bent at odd angles and looped around trees nonsensically as though they were haphazardly drawn into the ground.

The metallic rods belonged to an entity that could barely fit through the five-meter wide and tall doors that segregated the corridors of the facility. What laid on the other side was a hermit crab-like entity, with metal rods squirming out from gaping opening beneath its shell.
