Chapter 228 I had grown somewhat accustomed to this dark world—not a round table this time. There was a single desk and chair, and a girl was seated at the desk, diligently working on her writing. Without a doubt, it was Koyoham. Her appearance—somehow like a “girl doing homework”—made me feel a little less tense. […]
Chapter 227 The next morning.I found myself recalling last night’s discussion—though calling it a “discussion” might be overstating it—specifically, my conversation with ChimegU. She had said it so naturally: “I want a workshop near the house.”It was unmistakably a declaration of intent—that she would continue to stay by our side. I still don’t know much
Chapter 226 Among the characters I’ve never properly transformed into yet, there are four I’d classify as “abandoned characters.” All of them are production-type classes, but the items they could make either didn’t have much demand or had weak effects—characters belonging to professions that weren’t rated very highly. Still, their unique playstyles and skills seemed
Part Two, Volume 7 — And the Path She Walks Chapter 225 Melt spoke. She recounted everything that had happened up to this very moment. How the person she believed to be “me” had deceived her with lies and stolen her freedom… The story goes back to just after Shizuma transformed into Shizuka in the
Chapter 224 I had been concerned. Back when I was still inside Shizuma. Back when my personality was completely separate, and I couldn’t share thoughts with everyone else.

Until now, I hadn’t touched any categories unrelated to my purpose, but I decided to examine both this time. Base Management “Operate the terrain within your authorized range.” “Natural
Chapter 222 “Ah… this feels so good—I feel so alive again.” Soaking in the communal bath, I let all the fatigue from the dungeon exploration melt away. The steam-laden air felt a little stifling, but I still drew a deep breath. With the faint scent of cypress filling my lungs, I exhaled in one go,
Chapter 221 Why does the autumn sky seem so high? Is there a reason—like the air being clear, or the clouds forming higher than usual? Perhaps. But the sky I see now is certainly high and clear, yet there isn’t a single cloud in sight. Then why do I feel that this sky is “high”?
Chapter 220 Passing through the hollow of the giant tree, for the first time since arriving here, the scenery finally changed. It was the end of autumn, under an overcast sky. Up until now, this dungeon had been filled with landscapes that evoked melancholy and loneliness, but once beyond the hollow, the scene transformed into
Chapter 219 An indescribable sense of unease and impatience. Melancholy and nostalgia. Loneliness and heartache. A vague question lingering in my mind—is it really okay for me to be here? A feeling of isolation that seems like it won’t heal until someone finally finds me. An overwhelming urge to go back somewhere. As if someone
