For once, Jiang Bai's cooking exceeded his usual standards, even the milk tea he prepared turned out particularly fragrant and sweet.
Seeing Scaramouche return from the stream after washing up, Jiang Bai invited him over.
“You probably haven't eaten yet. Come and join us. It’s just a simple meal, but it’ll at least fill your stomach.”
Scaramouche’s hair still dripped...

Scaramouche was walking along the path when his foot bumped into something. A faint sense of danger prickled at his feet—not strong, but akin to a cat scratching lightly at his ankles.
Because the danger felt so minor, he didn’t immediately react. Instead, he glanced down curiously.
What’s this?
He frowned slightly, noticing a small round object resting by his f...

Lingzhou: "That's a pity. Given the circumstances, we'll discuss privately tonight and decide tomorrow whether we'll leave."

Bronya looked puzzled. "Please speak."

After exploring every interactive point he could find, Lao Xiong finally returned to the main storyline.
“Alright, back to business.”
He met Pela, then Serval, and finally approached the guarded Rift entrance. The quest marker led him toward Goethe Hotel.

Lingzhou: "Enough chatter. Gepard’s returning."
March 7th glanced around, puzzled. "But I don’t see anyone."
Lingzhou said nothing.
He controlled wind—was it so surprising he could sense movement through air currents?
It might not be cold here, but even warm air was still wind.
Sure enough, half a minute later, Gepard appeared.

It wasn’t just that Rovi didn’t die.
He could distinctly feel himself growing stronger.
Not that this newfound strength came from within—it was entirely external: specifically, the key Gilgamesh had given him, granting access to the treasury of Babylon.
Within that treasury was an endless arsenal of treasures collected by Gilgamesh.
Many were even capable of enhanc...

Ishtar’s chest heaved with fury.
For a moment, she wondered if Rovi was insane—she just stood there, dumbfounded, her anger so overwhelming that even she didn’t know how to react.
Siduri could only hold her forehead in her hand.

Among the gods of the Mesopotamian plains, Ishtar held a particularly unique place.
She presided over beauty, fertility, and war; she was one of the youngest among the gods, and by far the most spoiled and indulged by her divine kin.
Because of that, Ishtar was more willful and capricious than any of her peers—a goddess notorious for being the most troublesome of them all.

That’s right—Rovi suddenly remembered. Gilgamesh’s wisdom was exactly what the gods had always wanted.
As a demigod, Gilgamesh had always been the gods’ representative among mortals.
The wiser he became,
the more proof it offered that the gods, even if unable to descend to the world in person, could still shelter humanity from above.
As long as that persisted, th...

His final words fell, clear and resounding.
That was enough.
Rovi closed his eyes, ready to meet death. He was certain there was no way he’d survive this.
After all, this kind of humiliation would be intolerable to any king.
Let alone Gilgamesh.
Yet Gilgamesh stood frozen, his eyes flickering with more than just anger—there was a hint of something contemplative...

Rovi was honestly a bit puzzled by how calm the King of Uruk remained.
Even though he’d watched the Nasuverse series before transmigrating and thought he had a sense of Gilgamesh’s character, there was simply no way to truly grasp the patterns of this king’s emotions.
Or maybe there were no patterns to begin with—Gilgamesh, the epitome of self-indulgence, fit the ph...

The temple complex of Uruk was a sprawling labyrinth.
Unlike the world Rovi had come from, the era he now found himself in was one where the gods truly existed—where myth was reality.
And because of that, the people’s faith in the gods wasn’t just a primitive awe of nature, but a deep expression of loyalty, fear, and dependence upon divine beings.
Every king of Uruk, gen...

Nightingale had lied. She didn’t really study the biological makeup of demons; she only knew from the story and setting that the Blue Spider Lily could allow demons to conquer sunlight.
