Chapter 137 : King's Promise
« Chapter-136| Index| Chapter-138»[Ralph Eden: Your fights cost you too much, Kara...]Sora watched as she slowly regained her youth through the regeneration of her life force. Though relieved, he couldn’t stop the worry gnawing at him. 'What if someone pushes her even further? The more extreme her use of [Time-Bending], the more her body suffers—aging so quickly. And the more energy she expends in that period, the harsher the effects...'[Kara Spirine: Imagine what would have happened if I used this skill without my supreme ability...
Chapter 136 : Kro Nel
« Chapter-135| Index| Chapter-137»[Kro Nel - Level 173]Kro Nel stepped into the arena, his dark armor radiating an ominous red and black glow. Confidence radiated from him with every step.His angular face was framed by two smoothly curved horns, and his red eyes held a cold, calculating gaze that seemed to dissect everything around him.Sora assessed him carefully, his mind focused.

Chapter 135 : The Chosen Piou
« Chapter-134| Index| Chapter-136»Sora watched as the demon materialized above Hiyoko, his blade descending with lethal precision. Instead of worrying about her, Sora smiled. 'She sure got crafty… pretending to be reckless when all her actions are premeditated.'He had noticed it earlier—the subtle movement of her wing, a single feather falling downward and brushing against the demon’s body. It looked incidental, a product of her random flight pattern, but Sora knew better. That feather was deliberate.With Hiyoko disappearing bef...
Chapter 134: Omega 38

"I want you two to handle the seven competitors we’ll be facing. I’ll stay in the back during the fights, so it’s all on you.

Chapter 133 : Final Warning
« Chapter-132| Index| Chapter-134»Hiyoko and Netsu sat quietly meditating in their shared space, waiting for their master’s call to join him in his next battle.“Master promised us he’ll let us fight this time! This is going to be my first battle in the tower, little phoenix! I’m so excited!” Hiyoko chirped, her voice brimming with anticipation.Netsu, his eyes closed in serene meditation, opened them slowly. His fiery gaze met her joyful expression. “You know Master doesn’t like seeing us get hurt. If the enemy is too strong, he...
Chapter 132 : Punishment
« Chapter-131| Index| Chapter-133»Sora noted Kara’s level: only 142. With himself at 145, they were the lowest-level players remaining in the tower.

Patreon Price Changes
Hello everyone,Thank you everyone for your comments and votes in the previous poll.As the first step toward making this patreon a more "normal" place, I reduced the price of the most expensive tiers (Gold and Diamond).The perks of such tiers will increase, to match the prices, and eventually, you'll be able to access 50 advance chapters for 12 or 10 dollars a month (I am still thinking about it). For the permanent access to the rest of the novel, I'm still considering it, as I've received a lot of advice, and have not decide...
Chapter 130 : Shackles
« Chapter-129| Index| Chapter-131»Watching the two players dissolve, Sora was slightly frustrated, but sighed. 'This isn't the right place for revenge. There's no hurry.

Chapter 129 : Not Interested
« Chapter-128| Index| Chapter-130»Emily was surprised at his message, and a frown appeared on her face.[Emily Frekk: What do you have in mind?]Sora was slightly disappointed that she didn't immediately agree to his suggestion and thought, 'Damn it, I don't want to reveal my enmity with Rachel to Emily, or pass as a petty person'[Ralph Eden: I don't like her attitude to be honest, she always seems to look down on us. I was thinking of kicking her out of the competition early to show her that some actions have consequences.]...
Chapter 128: A Taste of Payback
« Chapter-127| Index| Chapter-129»Sora vanished from his allies' side, reappearing at a point equidistant from the enemy squads. Focusing his [Mental Power], he cast out a mental wave, locking onto every member of the nine opposing teams.

Chapter 127 : There’s no stopping him
« Chapter-126| Index| Chapter-128»Sora scanned the area, searching for familiar faces. He spotted Clémence, Pedro, Asia, and Rachel forming a group with an unfamiliar player.

Let’s team up. I’ll figure out why that ungrateful kid Rachel is ditching her guild to cozy up with Clémence.]Smiling at the notification, Sor...
Poll for a patreon direction change.
You probably noticed that the price of the patreon highest tier is quite high compared to other authors.I don't expect people to spend hundreds a year on supporting me.I was thinking of setting a minimum price to give permanent and lifetime access to future chapters to all people who contributed such price.However, such chapters would be available on discord. Or in another form if you prefer another place.If you want to keep the subscription running, I'd of course be honored, as this is now my new path in life. I spend time learning the...

Chapter 125 : Supreme Skill : Peerless Mind Forging
« Chapter-124| Index| Chapter-126»The Mana Crystals in front of him were changing, and their color turning to a milky white. Sora relaxed his control over the Crystals, and the now free energy didn't fall or dissipate. It kept on hovering.'The power it holds is the same as before...

Chapter 124 : Mana Evolution ?
« Chapter-123| Index| Chapter-125»Failing all his fusion attempts, Sora reached a new level in his training.

[Faith]felt entirely different from the other mental skills he’d trained, and without a clear path forward, he felt stuck. After repeated failed attempts, he realized he’d need som...
Chapter 123 : Focus
« Chapter-122| Index| Chapter-124»Sora gazed at the strange, changing landscape in front of him. The ground seemed to ripple, as if made of water, even though it was solid rock. Shadows stretched and bent in strange angles, while parts of the surroundings looked distorted.Everywhere he looked, the [Spatial Element]was abundant, moving around him and tricking his eyes. Tiny rips opened nearby, revealing gaps in space. Small, floating objects drifted through sudden portals that appeared and disappeared.Sora reached out his hand, feeling the str...

Chapter 120 : End of the 8th trial
« Chapter-119| Index| Chapter-121»Kara placed her hands on Sora and Emily, enveloping the group in the effects of [Time Acceleration].This time, however, she controlled the skill’s intensity, accelerating their movements only a dozen times faster rather than a hundredfold, as she had in the previous battle.Leaving Kara near the storm to recover, the two human players launched their attack on the approaching group simultaneously. Knowing she wasn’t back to her top form yet, Emily left two clones behind to defend her.Netsu and two other fam...

Chapter 118 : Spatial Element
« Chapter-117| Index| Chapter-119»Sora glanced at the struggling Demon Race player, recalling his bold plan and the motivation driving him toward such an extreme path.The Dark Elf who had killed him initially had done so effortlessly. To manipulate his powerful body with such ease, he must have wielded a supreme skill related to telekinesis, honed to a high level of mastery.Recalling how a Spirit Race player had nearly ended him, Sora recognized that neglecting his mental defenses in the group battle had been a critical error. However, relyin...
Chapter 117 : Guinea Pig
« Chapter-116| Index| Chapter-118»Sora looked down at Kara in his arms, his stomach twisting with worry. She didn’t look alright at all. Her face, usually full of life, now seemed so tired, with wrinkles that hadn’t been there before.Her hair, once a rich auburn, had turned gray, as if she had aged decades in mere moments. Her eyes remained sharp, but they were different—old, worn.'This can’t be happening,'he thought, feeling his chest tighten.“Kara…” he whispered, not knowing what else to say.She managed a faint smile, ...

I just hope we won’t regret this.'The two groups of players flying toward them gradually slowed down, eventually coming to a near standstill.With Kara’s time acceleration, Sora could see every detail: the strain in the Dragonborn’s eyes, the slight twitches of their muscles, and the slow flow of their mana as they readied their skills—but to him, they might as well have been frozen in place.'There are a little more...
Chapter 115 : I can't hold back anymore
« Chapter-114| Index| Chapter-116»Kara controlled dozens of clones, each taking on different forms—Dark Elves, Dwarves, Orcs, and even Werewolves. Crafted from pure Life Force, these clones should have easily been spotted, but her mastery was so high that no trace of Life Force leaked from their bodies.Adding to the chaos, she sent her clones across the battlefield, harvesting lives and assisting in more battles than anyone else on the human side. Although her [Soul Link]connected only to Sora, she focused on protecting their allies.She ens...

The feedback I’m getting is incredible.”Kara replied, her tone filled with genuine surprise.Sora, equally impressed by the surge in her life force, level, and aura, responded, “Don’t give me too...
Chapter 113 : Casually Forged
« Chapter-112| Index| Chapter-114»Running for his life, Sora darted toward his camp, hoping he’d run into an ally—or even better, a group of Fox players who could fend off or distract his pursuers.He knew that the moment he stopped or even slowed down, he’d be dead. Sprinting hard for a solid ten seconds and covering a huge distance, he suddenly felt something catch him, lifting him off the ground.Trapped mid-air like a captured animal, Sora glared at the rope binding him, anger building up.

Chapter 111 : Why is this guy everywhere I go
Sora had just read the notifications explaining the rules when he felt the gazes of several people on him, realizing he was the last one to join.Scanning his surroundings, he noticed players organized in small groups of three to ten, clearly prepared for combat. He recognized a few faces—players whose familiars had been defeated by Netsu on the fourth floor—but saw no one he knew personally.Kara, Rachel, Kim, Emily, and his other guildmates were nowhere to be seen.As he continued scanning the crowd, his eyes finally landed on a familiar fac...
