“Got it. The second Named is called ‘Clown Horina.’ It’s in the northern region. They say Asina, the gatekeeper, is guarding the entrance to Azit, and Asina is a two-headed monster… It looks similar to the monster we caught before, right?”
Upon Ruela’s words, Kite opened the in-game map and marked the place they had visited before.
“That’s right if it’s in the north. It’s the monster hunting area where we collected herbs before. It’s towards the Helaene Kingdom.”
“Can we teleport there right away?”
In response to Tien’s question, Ruela checked the teleportation mark on the map.
“We can teleport to a nearby village.”
After confirming the village near the northern hunting ground that Ruela indicated, Kite spoke.
“Then let’s focus on leveling up again from tomorrow. Ruela, can you check what progress others have made in defeating Count Kuran?”
“They are slightly ahead of us. The posts from those who defeated the second monster are just coming up today. Of course, there are people who don’t post strategy guides or use the bulletin board, so it’s hard to be sure with just this.”
“Named monsters can be caught later than others, but we must be the first to defeat Count Kuran. To do that, we shouldn’t fall too far behind. Let’s all do our best. Let’s rest for today and go hunting again tomorrow.”
Everyone got up from their seats and left the study.
Ruela also tried to follow her colleagues, but Kite called her.
“Ruela.”
“Yes?”
Approaching her, he reached out over her shoulder, closing the study door and spoke.
“Don’t think too hastily about Kamun Lord. If he’s alive and not dead, there must be a reason he’s kept alive until now, so we can’t easily do anything about it.”
“Yes, I won’t be swept away by emotions like before. Still, you know it’s something we can’t completely ignore, right? We need to find out the current situation.”
“Now that we’ve received the guild permit today, we can officially start external activities. Let’s try to find out by interacting with people as much as possible.”
Kite pushed Ruela’s stray hair behind her ear and added.
“By now, Balder must have learned that you attended the Grand Ball. He’ll probably return to the Institute soon. Like Count Gart, he might set traps or try to meet using someone. So promise me that you won’t go out alone or visit them like today.”
Looking up at Kite’s eyes filled with concern, Ruela averted her gaze.
“Why are you avoiding eye contact? Promise.”
Holding her chin, Kite forced her to make a promise.
After a moment of hesitation, Ruela raised her gaze and looked at him again.
“I know that relying too much on the game screen and acting without fear is something I’ve been doing. But since I realized that my recklessness could cause tremendous harm to everyone, I had already decided not to do that…,”
As Ruela’s words trailed off, Kite’s expression became intimidating.
“However?”
“Well, I can’t just stand by if something happens to people from Peroz or if things go wrong. Just today, I thought we should rescue Kamun Lord, whom we’ve never met before.”
Kite’s expression softened.
“I understand. If I were in that situation, I would definitely go to rescue as well. But before that, I’ll discuss it with you and the others. That’s important.”
Ruela nodded.
In the past, Ruela might have considered rescuing Kamun Lord as a personal matter and wouldn’t have thought about discussing it. But now, things had changed.
“I’ll do that. Just like today.”
Kite’s eyes drew a gentle arc.
“Yeah, that’s good. Whatever you think or whatever happens, always discuss it with me. Just promise me that.”
Ruela grumbled with her mouth slightly puckered.
“If I rely on you like this, I’ll feel terribly empty after we part ways.”
Kite’s expression turned fierce again.
“What do you mean, parting ways?”
“After the mission is over, you and the others will have to go to Helaene. No, back to Leor? Anyway, then only Shuna will be left by my side, right? I don’t know if Zenon’s family will stay with us.”
“What are you talking about again?”
Letting out a relieved sigh, Kite restrained the upward curve of his mouth that was about to form.
“Just go together. There are interesting things there too.”
Ruela’s expression sharpened.
“Don’t tell me you’re withdrawing the promise to give me the position above Count Kuran?”
Looking at Ruela’s demeanor, which was determined not to suffer any loss, Kite burst into laughter that he had been holding back.
“Of course, I’ll keep that promise. I’m just saying you don’t have to live here even if you get the position above Count Kuran. If the boundary of monsters disappears, Helaene and Count Kuran’s territory will be within a day’s distance, you know.”
“That won’t be a problem. I have the teleportation skill, after all.”
“Right. I forgot about that. Well, that’s even better. You can commute to and from Helaene with teleportation if you live there.”
“So, when everything is finished here, can I go to Helaene with you?”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
