Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 18: I Prefer Everyday Life Over Being a Selected One (1)
Chapter 18: I Prefer Everyday Life Over Being a Selected One (1)“Damn it…”I pressed down on the worst wound on Maschenny’s abdomen, but the blood kept gushing out. And the stomach wasn’t the only problem—everywhere else she was cut, the bleeding was just as bad.For a Princess of Zahard to deteriorate to this extent was nearly impossible—under normal circumstances. But of all times, she pushed herself to the limit and then swallowed and the rebound was returning several times harsher than usual.Damn, this idiot.You use that when yo...
Life As Hoaquin Chapter 17: vs Zahard’s Princess (7)
Chapter 17: vs Zahard’s Princess (7)“Hi?”She just stared at me with that bright smile of mine, not returning the greeting.Haha, still so cold as ever, huh—“...Yeah.”Her unexpected reply made my eyes widen a little.Even though she answered me, she looked away as she spoke — somehow, that made her look cute.I couldn’t help but grin as I drew my sword.“Oh? You’re actually waiting until I draw first now?”“I want to fight you at full strength. The least I can do is wait for that.”“Haha, then as the princess wishes—”...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 16: vs Zahard’s Princess (6)
Chapter 16: vs Zahard’s Princess (6)Under the setting sun, a white-haired boy and a blue-haired girl walked side by side down the road — both clutching small black-nosed teddy bears tightly in their arms.“Hey, didn’t you say you wouldn’t fight an opponent without a sword? You bought those clothes only a few hours ago.”“Shut up! It’s your fault for teasing me!”“Hey, I was just stating fa—”Bzzzzt—“—Actually, yeah, maybe I went a bit too far. Sorry, princess.”“Hmph. Anyway, keep your promise.”“You mean that ma...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 15: vs Zahard’s Princess (5)
Chapter 15: vs Zahard’s Princess (5)“…What?”“Um… haha… I was just wondering if you wanted to do this with me. Doesn’t it sound fun?”Maschenny looked at me like I’d just said something insane.Well, what can I do? I can’t just give gifts to everyone except Anna.“Do you expect me to find any value in teaming up with you?”Yes. The prize is a present for my little sister.—But if I say that out loud, she’ll reject me instantly. Time to use the speech I prepared.“Think about it. This is basically a sparring match to see...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 14: vs Zahard’s Princess (4)
Chapter 14: vs Zahard’s Princess (4)"Why would they even bet that? Who decided that? And why are you so calm about it, noona?""Well, I’m a Ranker, you know? From the Arie family. Even if we lose the floating castle, I’ll just get transferred to another one, so whatever.""So being a Ranker from one of the Ten Families really is a guaranteed lifetime job, huh. But then what about us?""Hmm… probably scattered across different floating castles, I’d say? Now that I think about it, the thought of you four being s...
Tower Of God: Chapter 13: vs Zahard’s Princess (3)
Chapter 13: vs Zahard’s Princess (3)Now that I think about it, her face looked familiar—she looks almost exactly like Maschenny Zahard did during her D-Rank Regular days.Of all people I could have run into, it had to be that battle maniac.From what I can tell, she must’ve heard somewhere that I’m “the strongest among the Arie trainees,” and came running to test herself.Seriously—I’m suffering for my own pride.If I hadn’t accepted every duel the Arie kids challenged me to, I wouldn’t be stuck in this mess right now.I gritted ...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 12: vs Zahard’s Princess (2)
Chapter 12: vs Zahard’s Princess (2)I’m seriously conflicted right now.It was supposed to be a one-month external training, right?So, as usual, I thought I’d just enter the floating fortress, smack around one or two cocky Arie kids who’d inevitably challenge me, and then spend the rest of my “study abroad” time freely without anyone bothering me.But what the hell is this situation?Our airship landed rather slowly, so by the time we arrived, all the other airships had already touched down.In front of the floating fortress, the Arie f...
Tower Of God: Chapter 11: vs Zahard’s Princess (1)
Chapter 11: vs Zahard’s Princess (1)After a long while, all of us—Vicente, Anna, Albelda, and I—ate dinner together and, as always, went to the sanctuary altar.Man… no matter what anyone says, this is the most beautiful place in the entire floating fortress.A few people still complained, saying things like “Do you think the holy altar dedicated to the Family Head is a playground for kids?”But what could they say? The Family Head himself gave me permission to come here whenever I wanted.Besides, the fortress administrator’s on my s...
Tower Of God: Chapter 10: Surviving in the Family (5)
Chapter 10: Surviving in the Family (5)Arie Lune left the arena, supported by the flustered “guest” who had come with him.The guest’s face was red, and he couldn’t even look the floating fortress’s administrator in the eye—no doubt he’d been utterly humiliated in their verbal sparring.As for Lune, though he’d lost, he seemed quite satisfied that I had drawn my sword at the end.His farewell was surprisingly polite, completely different from the arrogant tone he’d had at the start.I smiled and returned the courtesy.Yes—that’...
Tower Of God: Chapter 9: Surviving in the Family (4)
Chapter 9: Surviving in the Family (4)In truth, being called the most promising talent of an Arie branch doesn’t mean much—we’re all still just unchosen rookies.Of course, not being a Regular doesn’t automatically make someone weaker than one, but still… we’re all more or less in the same league.“Ugh! Draw your sword already! How long are you going to keep fooling around like this?!”“Calling ranged suppression fooling around? The Wave Controllers would be heartbroken to hear that.”I formed a Bang and fired—again and again...
Tower Of God: Chapter 8: Surviving in the Family (3)
Chapter 8: Surviving in the Family (3)Vicente, still looking toward the altar, suddenly asked me something.He wanted to know what I thought about the other floating castles I’d visited—the ones belonging to different branches of the Arie family.What were the other fortresses like compared to this one?I decided to answer honestly.“Well, they were… alright, I guess. Some were stronger on average, others about the same, and a few even weaker than this place. But still, traveling around feels more worthwhile than just staying here. It makes...
Tower Of God: Chapter 7: Surviving in the Family (2)
Chapter 7: Surviving in the Family (2)It’s been four years since I entered the Tower—four years since I became Hoaquin.When I first arrived, Hoaquin’s body was twelve years old, so now I’m sixteen.They say even a temple dog learns the scriptures after three years; I guess that’s true.After living as an Arie in the Tower for four years,I’ve grown more accustomed to this place than to Earth itself.I’ve nearly adapted completely to life here—though I still can’t get used to how time works.To the people of the Tower, a few hundred...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 6: Surviving in the Family (1)
Chapter 6: Surviving in the Family (1)“Indeed… it is only right for a Ranker father to aid a son in distress.”You’ve got to be kidding me.Arie Hon.Why is Arie Hon here—right now?!How could someone meet one of the Ten Family Heads this easily?!“Uh… I-It’s fine! I’ll go ask someone else! Y-you must be very busy, F-Father, so I’ll just—go—”The trembling in my voice wasn’t acting.My usual gift of smooth-tongued eloquence—one of my few talents—was utterly useless now.How could anyone stay calm in front of this man?If ...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 5: I Became Hoaquin (5)
Chapter 5: I Became Hoaquin (5)Ttak—!The instant the Ball was destroyed, Headon snapped his fingers.The Barracuda that had been lunging to swallow the utterly exhausted Hoaquin crumbled into dust on the spot, and the test chamber expelled Hoaquin through the now-open bars.Thud.“Kh….”My whole body already hurt, and now I got tossed out like trash the moment I cleared the test.Is this how you treat someone who passed?Every inch of me screamed. Blood was caked around my mouth and nose, my clothes and hair were soaked in the Barracuda’s b...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 4: I Became Hoaquin (4)
Chapter 4: I Became Hoaquin (4)"Uaaaaaaahhh!"Together with the Ball, I was swallowed whole into Barracuda’s mouth.The beast thrashed violently, its jaws clashing as it tried to chew me apart.All I could do was cling desperately to the sword lodged in the Ball and hold on with all my strength.What now? What should I do?The test was to destroy the Ball—so maybe if I break it, Headon will come to save me?No, judging by that sly bastard’s personality, he’d probably grin and say,"The test is only complete once you destroy the Bal...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 3: I Became Hoaquin (3)
Chapter 3: I Became Hoaquin (3)I looked up.Is there no princess out there willing to save this poor soul?Of course, since this was Hoaquin’s childhood era, Yuri hadn’t even been born yet — so there was no hope.Which meant I had to handle everything alone.That realization made me grip the sword tighter.I looked past the iron bars.Beyond them was Barracuda, the trial I had to face.And there was the Ball, the goal I had to claim.If I took this test as-is, I could really die.My instincts screamed danger, warning me of imminent death.Cold swea...
Tower Of God : Life As Hoaquin Chapter 2: I Became Hoaquin (2)
Chapter 2: I Became Hoaquin (2)Hoaquin is of the Arie Family — needless to say, a scion of one of the Ten Great Families.And the Ten Great Families and King Zahard’s line are openly hostile toward Irregulars.So what happens if it’s revealed that I — a child of one of the Ten Great Families — am an Irregular?Because I’m both a resident of this Tower and an Irregular who opened the door to the First Floor, two propositions collide: “Irregulars can kill the Ten Great Families and Zahard,” and “Those born and raised inside the Tow...
Tower Of God: Life As Hoaquin Chapter 1: I Became Joaquin (1)
Chapter 1: I Became Hoaquin (1)The surroundings were dark and quiet.A massive mural was painted on the wall.And from over there, a rabbit-like creature approached.It was clearly something I had never experienced before — utterly strange.Yet, for some reason, the sight felt… strangely familiar.Anyone who’s read Tower of God would recognize this scene.“It’s been such a long time since someone entered through the door themselves. Hello there, young man.”The familiar creature that looked like a rabbit, and that familiar line—With that...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 106: The Witch Who Erases Memories, a Promise Beneath the Full Moon (3)
Chapter 106: The Witch Who Erases Memories, a Promise Beneath the Full Moon (3)The red glow of the lantern mixed with the pale moonlight, filling the room with an eerie, almost magical radiance.On the bed lay a woman in a thin, white silk gown, unable to move—pinned beneath the piercing gaze and weapon of the man before her.Her body was soft and elegant, her golden eyes trembling faintly as they looked up at him—radiating both allure and fear.To anyone else, the scene might have looked like a man about to assault a woman.But within that ten...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 105: The Witch Who Erases Memories, a Promise Beneath the Full Moon (2)
Chapter 105: The Witch Who Erases Memories, a Promise Beneath the Full Moon (2)After a seven-hour train ride from Magnolia Station,we finally arrived at Licorice Village in the afternoon.As expected of a hidden gem, the train station wasn’t directly connected to the village—we had to get off one stop earlier, at Mandrami Station, and walk the rest of the way.It was tiring, but the sight that awaited us in the distance made it all worth it.Mist drifted softly above the lake that cradled the village.Through the haze, crimson lanterns glowed f...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 104: The Witch Who Erases Memories, a Promise Beneath the Full Moon (1)
Chapter 104: The Witch Who Erases Memories, a Promise Beneath the Full Moon (1)“We’ll be gone for three days—Mira and I are taking a trip.”“Sorry, Master. This is an incredibly busy time for the guild….”“It’s fine, it’s fine. You two haven’t had a proper break in ages. You need rest. I can take the requests while you’re gone, so go and relax.”The day before we left.Mira and I told Master we’d be away for three days. The guild buzzed with preparations for the upcoming S-rank promotion exams, but Master happily approve...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 103: The Final Promise (3)
Chapter 103: The Final Promise (3)October 10, X780The chirping of birds woke me once again from another nightmare. My name is Ranfa Kenbell.I am a man cursed by a demon of the Book of Zeref.One year ago.Up until one year ago…I lived in a village outside this forest, spending my days as a painter.The villagers loved my work.After losing our parents when we were young, my little sister was my only family—and drawing pictures for her became the joy that shaped my life. Before I realized it, painting had become my entire world.I started as a na...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 102: The Final Promise (2)
Chapter 102: The Final Promise (2)“Mr. Ciel! I’ve been wanting to see you!!”“…And you are?”Ever since returning from Edolas, there had been a few small incidents here and there, but for the most part, I had been enjoying peaceful days.After waking up this morning, I joined Elfman and Natsu’s training for a bit, and then went to the guild. While chatting with Master as Natsu’s team searched for a request on the board, it happened.Out of nowhere, a woman with grass-colored hair appeared in front of me, called my name, and suddenly...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 101: The Final Promise (1)
Chapter 101: The Final Promise (1)The fourth day since we returned from Edolas.Everything that happened over there is still vivid in my mind.The guild has basically been in festival mode nonstop—the return of Lisanna, the new members, the celebrations… people have been drinking, dancing, laughing, and partying every day.Back in Magnolia, everyone slipped right back into their daily lives, smiling like nothing had ever happened. I did too. Just like always, I started my morning with a hot shower. And honestly? That moment made me realize aga...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 100: A Concluded Match, and the Return to Magnolia (5)
Chapter 100: A Concluded Match, and the Return to Magnolia (5)The Next Day.When I finally woke up from my slight drunken sleep, Mirajane greeted me with an embarrassed smile.“Did you sleep well, Mira?”“Ciel… you’re back to normal again~!”“…I don’t know if I’m truly ‘back to normal,’ but… I do feel like I slept more peacefully than usual.”“That is the normal Ciel—my Ciel!”“My, my~. But before worrying about me, what about your arm?”“Oh, Hepsiel healed it. See? All clean.”“…I’m sorry.”“It’s fi...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 99: A Concluded Match, and the Return to Magnolia (4)
Chapter 99: A Concluded Match, and the Return to Magnolia (4)“Mira…”“Ciel, stop it now.”Hot, red blood runs along the sword and warms my fingertips.I hesitated for a moment at the sight of the girl looking at me with a distressed face, but my vision was still dyed in ash-gray.Even sound reached me as if through a haze.“Move that arm.”“No… I won’t move it. Never.”“This is your last warning. If you interfere, I’ll just cut the arm off.”“Cut it! Even if Ciel cuts off my arm, I won’t back down.”The girl stared at m...

Chapter 98: A Concluded Match, and the Return to Magnolia (3)“Haa… haa…”“…Nightwalker…”I pointed my blade toward the other me—the one wearing a twisted smile, eyes overflowing with bloodlust.Faust, the deranged king, was dead.My foolish disciple finally finished his errand and returned the humans of Earthland back to their world.Well… it was only possible because he asked for my help in the first place.But my battle was not over....“Haa!”“Kh…!!”A thrust came without even a moment to breathe.I barely avoided a fatal...
FT: The Phantom Dragon Slayer Chapter 97: A Concluded Match, and the Return to Magnolia (2)
Chapter 97: A Concluded Match, and the Return to Magnolia (2)“W-…What is THAT?!”“That’s…?!”“Whoa!!”On the floating island of the Lacrima, Gajeel and Pantherlily—who had been clashing fiercely atop the massive magic crystal—froze in place when they witnessed the three Phantom Demons soaring into the sky, wrapped around a colossal sphere of blinding light.Their hearts, which only moments ago throbbed with adrenaline and the heat of battle, were instead crushed by a primal terror—an overwhelming presence that went beyond th...

Chapter 96: A Concluded Match, and the Return to Magnolia (1)At the very top of the Edolas royal castle, where the Dragon Chain Cannon was installed.The remaining royal guards were in chaos, desperately trying to maintain control in the face of the terror that had suddenly swept through the castle.“Status report!”“We sacrificed a third of our remaining forces to lure the target. We’ve successfully confined it in place—for now. But we won’t be able to hold it much longer!”“That is enough. For the sake of our fallen comrades, we w...
Sick
Forgive me for the late upload, guys. I got sick with an influenza-like illness and needed to rest. I'm feeling a bit better today, so I will continue dropping chapters.
