      IMTDIK 21 Cover
      by Atlas Haven Chapter 21 Why the Evil Dragon Remains Evil Late at night, under the bright moonlight, Ferda walked down the hallway illuminated by candlelight. ‘What a busy day this has been.’ The work that had piled up over decades of neglect wasn’t easy to deal with. ‘But thanks to Mori, things are progressing smoothly.’ The pace of work had far surpassed anything a human could achieve. At this rate, Ferda thought, they could clear all the pending tasks within a year. ‘My role is to assist so…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 20 Carrot and Stick “Is this a monster?” Jed looked down with a disgusted expression. Before him was a monster brought by Count Consilus’s soldiers: a bear monster, trapped inside a thick, sturdy stone container. Chains bound it tightly, and its joints had been broken and sealed. Even if it tried to move, it was completely powerless. “Yes,” Ferda replied. “I’ve never seen a monster before… I didn’t realize they were this disgusting,” Jed said, grimacing. “You sound…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 19 The Final Mana The fight between those who wield swords was intuitive and fair. That’s why gladiators still existed in Serdes. Swordsmen’s duels were easy to follow—simple, direct, and yet deeply strategic. Watching them maneuver and anticipate each other’s moves was surprisingly entertaining. The world of mages, however, was the opposite. Abstract. Merciless. Unequal. The gap between magic circles was painfully obvious. One mage advancing even a single circle higher could dominate…

      IMTDIK 18 Cover
      by Atlas Haven Chapter 18 No Turning Back Ferda stood atop a lonely mountain peak. The only reason he had asked Ruri to bring him here was for one purpose—to observe Valdrova‘s battle. -ROAAAAAAR! A thunderous roar shook the heavens and the earth. Today, she had stopped the advance of more than a hundred monsters. In the past, he wouldn’t have even been able to breathe in a moment like this. But now, he gazed off into the distance with unparalleled calm, as if looking at some far-off mountain. ‘The…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 17 Peeking at the Shame of a God The steward asked in surprise, “What? Are you saying you’ll take her in, my lord?” “Think about it. If what you’re saying is true, this kid can’t even do simple tasks properly and will keep being like this. Then you’ll have to keep cleaning up after her, won’t you? Am I wrong?” “…” The steward pouted slightly. She already was cleaning up after the girl, and the thought of this continuing in the future made irritation rise within…

      IMTDIK 16 Cover
      by Atlas Haven Chapter 16 Not a Person, but a Tool Echidna Philiaz. Age: Unknown. Though originally part of the Philiaz line of Witches, she was expelled by her sisters for ideological differences. Reason for expulsion: Obsessed with good-looking guys and falls in love at first sight way too easily. She had messy black hair, dark circles that made her look like she wore goth makeup, black lipstick, and skin so pale it seemed like it had never seen sunlight. She gave off the typical eerie vibe of a witch. If she…

      IMTDIK 15 Cover
      by Atlas Haven Chapter 15 Just Do What You’re Good At Jed briefly averted his gaze at Ferda’s words. It was clear that the “disloyal servant” Ferda mentioned referred to that young girl, Ruri, who had been following him around like a shadow. Given that his profession relied heavily on reading the room, Jed could at least figure out where the killing intent was directed. ‘No matter how I look at it, the killing intent isn’t directed at me, but at that guy…’ It wasn’t a misunderstanding. In fact,…

      IMTDIK 14 Cover
      by Atlas Haven  Chapter 14 The Swallow Trap Vernel was often told he was a “my way” kind of person. Because of this attitude, he hadn’t made a single friend within the small confines of the academy, and his status had plummeted from a prodigy to barely better than a dropout. But even Vernel, with all his stubbornness, couldn’t help but feel utterly powerless in front of the man standing before him. ‘An overwhelming aura…’ He felt pulled into the depths of an abyss by those eyes. Yet, those eyes…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 13 “Thorough Calculations.” Vernell Marquis. Age: 27. Graduate of Veritas Academy, Class of 525. Title granted: “Complete Mess.” Residence: semi-basement in the slums of Escolaya (the previous tenant ran away in less than a week).

And a man, trembling on his knees, helplessly watching…

      IMTDIK 12 Cover
      by Atlas Haven Chapter 12 A Perfect Opportunity Human memory is finite and unstable. But just as one doesn’t forget how to breathe, there’s always something that inevitably remains remembered. In Ferda’s case, it was the object of his hatred. Not just names, but a list of those he wanted to hate and take revenge on—a list of deaths. To hate them, he dug into their achievements. To take revenge, he carefully memorized their flaws. ‘Thinking about it now, it was completely absurd.’ The…
