If you asked what defined the Aeon of the Hunt, people across the galaxy might give all sorts of answers.
But if you asked what its primary method of attack was, you'd get near-unanimous consensus:
Arrows.
Summoned by the power sealed within that silver bullet, the earth itself began to quake. Cracks split across the surface, and from those ruptures erupted c...

Atop the roof of the District 33 church, a man in black robes turned to ask the green-robed cleric beside him.

Finding a quest like this in the early game wasn’t a god-tier start, but it was still solid—and better yet, there was no player limit.

Helen nodded.

Turned out, by double bed, Kobayashi Mika meant a bunk bed.
“That’s right. It’s got some years on it, but… mhm, still sturdy. Looks like it’s perfectly usable.”
Even after Kobayashi Mika’s well-meaning warning, what Shiginomiya Shion was more concerned about… was the fact that Mika had once again assumed she and Kuroba Akira were a couple. So she quickly tried to clarify.

Allen ignored Rudeus and turned to face the group of children before him—those who cloaked their malice and thrill for bullying beneath the excuses of youth and so-called “justice.” He exhaled heavily.
