Chapter 807

"No, it's I who should say that. You're the first to realize that upon first sight. Usually, no one pays attention whether I call the cat my brother or anything else."

"Is that so? I thought it wouldn't be unusual for someone in the Cavalry to possess such a talent."

"That may be true, but it's another matter entirely to actually think that way."

After saying this, Pruelle chuckled and rose from his seat.

"The truth is, I've longed to meet this young friend here, Revlin, and the Lady for some time. I never expected to meet you in such a place, but I am delighted to have been of help and to have shared a conversation, albeit briefly."

"Me? Why....."

Myra, who was puzzled, suddenly seemed to realize something as she alternated her gaze between Pruelle and Revlin. A spark of recognition flickered in her eyes.

"Now that I think of it, Revlin... Yes, I remember hearing that name. Could you be the third son of the Apeto family, Revlin Shan Apeto, who temporarily joined the Cavalry?"

"That's right. That's me."

Revlin replied with a joyful expression. Myra's eyes then moved to Pruelle's red hair.

"Then you are..."

"I am currently living here under the name Elle."

Myra quickly nodded without mentioning the name of another ducal house.

"I never imagined I'd meet people I've only heard rumors about here."

"We are now official members of the Cavalry, here to offer our support."

The conversation that followed wasn't lengthy, but the atmosphere was unbelievably congenial. The three of them, belonging to the four great ducal houses but existing outside their traditional hierarchies, shared similar temperaments, so it wasn't odd that they got along so well.

Indeed, for a first meeting, they seemed to mesh remarkably well.

Yuder watched the trio, reminiscing about the past.

In his previous life, these individuals were unaware of each other's existence. But now they had met in a manner that didn't seem at all unfortunate. Though their reasons for opposing their families were different, their intentions converged on a similar path.

Being on a difficult journey, realizing one is not alone in their position can be empowering. Perhaps they could even offer each other unique support.

After leaving the medical unit, Yuder accompanied Myra to her carriage. Her expression was far more relaxed compared to her arrival.

"Thank you for today. Your assistance was invaluable."

It was a generous compliment for merely guiding her to the medical unit, as Kishiar had instructed.

"Every time I come here, I feel the freedom and greatness of the Cavalry, but today, that spirit of freedom seemed to influence me too. I feel more alive and clear-headed than I have in days."

"I'm sure the Commander would be pleased to hear that."

Despite Yuder's stark response, Myra smiled pleasantly.

"I regret not having more time to talk with the people I met at the end. Well, there will be other opportunities. After the funeral, I'll officially become the heir to Herne, and then I'll be able to do even more."

With these words, Myra left, looking rejuvenated.

As Yuder watched the carriage depart, he was about to turn away when someone nearby called his name.

"Yuder!"

"Ever?"

Ever, who had been tasked with pursuing the Sage as soon as she arrived in the south and had rarely been attached to the branch office, was there. Beside her were the Eldore siblings, and all three of them, having just returned, were covered in dust.

"What brings you here?"

"I was seeing off a guest who had visited the Commander. Where have the three of you been?"

"We went in search of the Sage, of course!"

"The information given secretly by the successful candidates of this branch was excellent! We learned a lot!"

The reply came from the Eldore siblings. Hinn and Finn smiled broadly, their eyes gleaming like pleased little beasts.

"We're off to report to the Commander now! Yuder, will you join us?"

How could he refuse?

"Alright."

Without delay, they headed to where Kishiar was. Kishiar, seeing Yuder, after sending Myra off, returning with Ever, Hinn, and Finn, smiled without surprise.

"Did Lady Myra return safely? Was she in good health?"

"Yes. She recovered after receiving divine power and medicine and went back. According to Enon, she's naturally frail and had been overexerting herself."

"Not surprising, coming from the Herne family."

Were there many short-lived members in the Herne Ducal House?

After mentioning with a composed face that he should send Lady Myra some restorative medicine, Kishiar turned his gaze to Ever.

"Now, Ever. Have there been any developments in the task you were assigned? I hope you bring good news."

Ever's gaze hardened.

"Yes. With the help of many here at this branch, I've gathered information about the Sage and tracked the movements of the Star of Nagran's southern base. We concluded that the Sage arrived safely at the base recently, but for some reason, left again."

"Hmm."

"Please look at this first."

Ever carefully drew out a map of the south. It wasn't detailed like a military map, but that wasn't the important part.

On the map, a bright red ink line traced a route.

Starting from the north of the south, passing through several cities to the desert, then moving towards the coast before the line broke off.

And in the desert, a large circle was marked. Ever explained.

"The circled area in the desert is where we believe their base to be. They use their abilities to completely hide the place from people's minds, so even those who were part of it find it difficult to pinpoint its current location."

It was not just hidden from sight, but from the mind as well, unless you were the hider or a few specific people. It was difficult even to think of or remember the place from outside. The method of entry was similarly convoluted; it was easy to leave but hard to re-enter, according to testimonies from former inhabitants of the Star of Nagran.

"They are particularly adept at concealing their bases, as we've seen in the west."

"Yes. But while finding the exact location of the base is difficult, the method of entering and leaving it hasn't completely changed. The Sage and Diemon seem to have used this route to reach it."

Of course, tracking them down was not as easy as it sounded. The Empire's land was vast, and finding those determined to hide and move stealthily was a very difficult task.

Thus, Ever reported that she had tracked based on Diemon's appearance rather than the Sage's.

"The Sage is clever at concealing himself, but Diemon is noticeably conspicuous. We were able to trace their path thanks to the traces he left in people's memories at various places."

"We helped Ever! Devran too! Devran couldn't come with us as he's still gathering information!"

The Eldore siblings interjected as if they had been waiting to say this. It seemed that Devran's absence was due to this reason.

Kishiar nodded and focused on the last part of the path drawn on the map.

"Good. This is where they were last seen, moving northeast from the base. If we continue this line straight from there..."

Kishiar's finger traced the end of the Sage's last known path. Extending the line in the same direction, it ended at Charloin.

'As expected.'

Previously, Kishiar and Yuder had predicted that the Sage would come to the south, specifically targeting the Cavalry and Kishiar.

The cunning Sage would have to target Kishiar to preserve his own life and curry favor with Duke Diarca. To do so, he would have to come to where they were.

'Besides, this southern region is where the Star of Nagran's southern base is. Anyone would think it's a natural choice to reinforce there before coming here.'

But did things go as planned?

It was hardly an exaggeration to say that most of those who should have guarded Star of Nagran's southern base were now absent. It wasn't hard to imagine what the Sage would have found upon his arrival.

'Thinking he'd find a stronghold, only to discover it in ruins must have shocked him.'

The Sage, trusting only his own followers who remained at the base, would have gone there. But the more capable fighters among his loyal brainwashed were now all locked up in the underground of the Cavalry's southern branch.

'The Sage. He must have been seething with frustration and shedding tears on his way here.'

Yet, there was no sympathy. A normal person might give up and run away to save themselves at that point, but the Sage, even in a disadvantageous situation, was trying to get to Charloin by any means necessary.

It meant the Sage's ambition was enormous and persistent.

There was no mercy to be shown to such a man.

"Considering the last sighting, the Sage might already be in Charloin."

"Yes. Thinking so, we returned here first. From now on, we plan to continue tracking in and around Charloin, but I think everyone should be cautious."

[BL] Cloudless Sky

Jin Soram, the top-ranked hunter representing South Korea's Rift Phenomenon Management Headquarters, is stronger than anyone else and lazier than anyone else. As soon as he arrives at the office, he buries himself under a blanket and falls asleep. When he goes out on a mission, he causes accidents and returns to the office, often shirking his duties.

"Do you know how it feels to play a game that's already messed up? ...Anyway, the next round will come, so this time, I'm just going to play it recklessly."

In fact, his true identity is someone who has regressed through three lives, trying to save the world from the Great Rift but failing each time. After repeating a life where he couldn't sleep peacefully even for a day, he became completely exhausted before this life even began.

"I know. You worked hard, Jin Soram."

And then there's Han Tae-un, the man who saved Soram and died in all three previous lives. As he did in every life, he comes to Soram's side once again. The Great Rift is approaching soon. It's impossible to resolve it in this life without any preparation. Soram vows to save Tae-un in this life and die himself. At least, he won't let Tae-un save a failure like himself again.

"For now, until then, let's sleep..."

As Soram sluggishly lives his life waiting for that moment, a gradual change occurs in his heart.

'I thought this was a messed-up round... but I want to live a little longer here.'

[BL] Bermuda

Leonardo Blaine, the true war hero of the Raina Logia Empire and the commander of the Armsilver 11th Squad, is dishonorably discharged for disobeying orders during the final battle that could have led the Empire to victory in the territorial war. People criticize and point fingers at him, and after being released on parole from prison, he disappears without a trace.

Three years later, his name has been forgotten by the world. The Council has been persistently pursuing him, but he has proven difficult to capture. Frustrated by this, Hugo Agrizendro, the commander of the Council's army, decides to personally apprehend him.

"Since when have you been watching me?"

Leonardo was calculative and astute, so it wouldn't be surprising if he had been observing Hugo for some time now. However, Leonardo's answer was something that even Hugo had not anticipated.

"From the very beginning."

[BL] The Mist (Same author as Turning)

In the autumn of his 18th year, after winning the high school kendo championship finals, an unexpected accident occurred.

Due to that incident, Kang Mu-heon lost one of his legs, his closest friend, and his promising future. He closed off his heart and shut himself away alone.

A few years later, the world's first real virtual reality game <THE MIST> was announced, where even those with physical disabilities could play in healthy bodies.

By chance, Kang Mu-heon encountered it and began a new life as the mage Kapros, facing unexpected meetings, reunions, and days of change....

***

"Why was someone like you born into this world to make me so miserable? Do you understand when I say it like this?! You were born with talent for the sword, a bright personality, everything - you must have been laughing at me always lagging behind! Did you even know how pathetic I felt because of your stupid hypocrisy? A genius? What does any of that matter!"

Seung-jo's cries stabbed at his heart, wailing as if he were crying even though he wasn't, but there was no time to think further. He quickly clutched my stomach, got up, and ran towards him.

He looked surprised for a moment, but he was desperate.

Just as the car was about to reach us, he shoved Seung-jo hard. Right after Seung-jo fell and rolled away with wide, startled eyes—

Screech!

Bang! With an impact that felt like his whole body was being shattered, he flew through the air.

And in that brief yet long moment of floating in space, he remembered his reflection in Seung-jo's eyes for the last time.......

***

[ Then in THE MIST, may you become the master of infinite possibilities. ]

Whoosh!

When his vision returned after everything went white, he was standing in the middle of a bustling town. Amidst the clamor, countless people were busily going about their business here and there.

He looked down at himself, standing dazed and wearing clothes of unknown origin. When he touched the sleeve, he felt the texture of fabric as real as reality. His hair felt the same, and even when he touched the wall of a nearby house, he could clearly feel the solid, cold surface.

Is this... VT?

It seemed like a joke. It truly felt as if he had come to another world and was touching everything.

As he stood there unable to think due to the shock, he suddenly remembered the biggest reason he had decided to play this game, and snapped back to attention. His two legs were still as they had been when he first stood.

'Can I really walk?'

He first stepped out with his left foot, then very slowly put strength into his heavy right foot. It felt like cold sweat was running down his spine.

And then,

He lifted it,

Moved it,

And took another step to touch the ground again.

So easily. As if there had never been any problem with this leg from the beginning.

"Ah..."

At that moment, something that was neither joy nor emotion shot up his spine. Suddenly feeling a lump in his throat, he lowered his head and leaned against the wall. His right foot, bearing his weight, was doing its job perfectly.

"..."

Holding back the tightness in his throat, he took another step.

It didn't hurt. It wasn't heavy. His leg was no longer a useless piece of wood that ached.

Damn it, to be able to walk so easily like this.

To be able to run so easily like this.

He had wished even in his dreams for the day to come when he could walk and run like this again.

And so he walked again, kept walking, slowly getting faster, until finally he started running like a madman through the entire town.

***

"Kap. ...There seems to be a misunderstanding. That's not what I meant."

Just as he was thinking he should throw a punch, Yu-wan sighed with a troubled look and said.

A misunderstanding? How could it be a misunderstanding when he said with his own mouth that he didn't think of me as a friend?

"I didn't expect to receive such a question suddenly, so my explanation was probably too brief. Let me rephrase."

Yu-wan reached out his hand, his face completely changed from before - intense yet resolute - as he stared at him. As he didn't reject the hand suddenly approaching his face and kept his gaze fixed, his cool large hand touched his cheek completely.

A shiver ran down his spine at that moment.

"I'm sorry to say this to you, but I don't see you only as a friend. ...This is the complete answer."
