      by Atlas Haven Chapter 13 What is Marketing (1) Even after making Cola, it was a continuous series of busy schedules. You couldn’t just sell Cola in glasses, could you? First, I visited a glass factory to commission custom production of Cola bottles. The design was already decided. The Contour Bottle.

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 12 Ugly Flower (8) In the middle of the Workshop that was nothing short of chaos. The appearance of Cola contained in a transparent bottle was truly radiant. At first glance it was a black and gloomy liquid, but when sunlight passed through it, it revealed a sensual brown color. “……” “……” The two people who had been jumping around with joy just moments before now held their breath and examined it as if appreciating a work of art. “Ah, we really completed it.” One month…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 11 Ugly Flower (7) 6 AM. The luxurious private suite at The Richfield Hotel. Penelope’s somewhat early morning begins. Penelope took off her sleeping cap and turned off the loudly ringing alarm clock. “Yaaawn…” She yawned languidly and stretched thoroughly. When she pressed the switch by her bedside, the blackout curtains smoothly drew back, revealing the view of Lichfield Square. The sky changing from deep navy blue to pale orange. Lamplighters carrying long poles, going around…

      by Ruby Chapter 10 Ugly Flower (6) The ingredient preparation work that began late at night didn’t finish until late afternoon the next day. “Good work. Vic, you’re always so diligent.” Vic responded by weakly waving his drooping tentacles without a word. When I placed candy on his hand, he fled to his bag as if afraid I’d call on him again and zipped it shut. “I hadn’t planned to do everything at once…” Once I started thinking I should finish what I’d begun, I couldn’t stop. When I…

      by Ruby Chapter 1 Quitting Everything to Sell Cola (1) Who is a Hero? It is one who achieves feats that even a lowly person could not accomplish in a lifetime of dedication. It refers to one who casually accomplishes what others cannot, thereby changing the ‘world’. In that sense, the man whose story is about to be told was an existence worthy of being called a ‘Hero’. He subjugated the monsters that had been tormenting the Britannia Kingdom from the frontlines of the Demon Realm. Even the…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 40 The Whisper of the Devil Jed had just cut off Yuren’s head. Before it even hit the ground, Ferda shot a magical arrow, blowing it apart. “Ugh!” Jed instinctively covered his face, worried that some pieces might land in his mouth. He shouted at Ferda, “Why did you blow up the head like that?!” Ferda calmly wiped the blood from his cheek with his thumb. “We need to be sure.” “Is it really necessary for a confirmation kill? Just separating the head from the body…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 39 The Wizard’s Unspoken Rule Crackle! A sudden explosion of electricity burst in front of Yuren. A blue barrier shimmered before him—Magic Shield, a 4th-tier spell. His reflexes had saved him, leaving him unharmed, but his heart was still racing. “Was that… an Elemental Bolt?” Elemental Bolt was a 3rd-tier spell, stronger than Mana Shot. Its effects changed depending on the element infused into it. “Since it was lightning, that must have been a Lightning…

      by Atlas Haven Chapter 38 The Sealed Warehouse The Arken Empire, Underground Prison of the Imperial Palace. Soldiers in work uniforms shouted. “Hey, shift change!” “Ugh, why are you dragging your feet?” “What are you talking about? I got here before the bell even rang.” “You little punk, I’ll get back at you for this later.” The current guards, visibly annoyed, began the handover process. “By the way, it’s been a while since we’ve had prisoners here.” “Now that you mention…
