It took a long time before I landed on the soft ground with ease. Good thing I noticed that it’s the endpoint. Isabella also landed beside me and looked around vigilantly. But the remaining three people landed flat on the ground with a loud bang. Thud!“Ow!”“Curses!” “Argh!” I laughed upon seeing Ricky fall face flat on the ground while Avallona and Liana landed on top of him.Pft. Avallona and Liana immediately stood up and grinned sheepishly.“What is this place?” Ricky stood up and asked with a dumbfounded expression. We all looked at the surrounding area in surprise. I thought it would be completely dark. However, I never imagined how wide and high the underground would be. Tons of colorful illuminating stones were scattered everywhere, illuminating the entire place.This place looks like a cave, but not. It’s more like another dimension. The difference was that the sky was dark. If not for the illuminating stones everywhere, this place would be filled with darkness as black
Following that, we learned more about this world from Light. She explained it more vividly, which made everyone itching to go outside to see what the dark world was like.Unfortunately, the place where we were at this moment was unfamiliar to Light. She doesn’t know how to go outside, which makes everybody feel dismayed.In light of this, we can only try to adapt to our environment and find people to inquire about the exit.Furthermore, it’s not bad to stay here at all. This place is the right training ground for me and the rest. This way we can save the clan in the upcoming disaster five years from now.Time is of the essence and we can’t dilly-dally. The future of the clan is in our hands. As time ticked away day by day, we finally adapted to how this world works. We slaughter every monster on our way.And the more we slaughter, the stronger we get. This kind of experience gives a boost to our confidence. I could feel the changes in our aura. That’s because we found out how useful
In all my life, I have never seen something so terrifying that it almost makes my soul leave my body. I shuddered at the thought of being eaten alive.What would have become of me?What about my revenge?No! I can’t die here!Isabella and the others are still waiting for me!I... I must persist!I gritted my teeth and fought the extreme pressure. However, the pressure is too strong. I thought my body would explode into smithereens.My life flashed before my eyes and I felt dizzy.No! I can’t die!!!“Argh!”I gritted my teeth while clenching my fist tightly and glared at the creature fiercely. Even if I die, I have to fight to the death!“Ah!” Just as I was about to suffocate to death, the pressure suddenly lifted. I was dumbfounded.I narrowed my eyes while breathing heavily. My body felt weak and my heart kept beating faster. Phew! I almost died! Suddenly, a deep, husky voice with a hint of childishness echoed calmly, “You are indeed brave, little one! You never succumb to death,
Did Efrain just call me a Nine-Clawed Primordial Dragon? And he also calls me Princess Arielle Moon? Did he mistake me for someone else?I narrowed my eyes suspiciously and couldn’t help but ask, “Efrain, what did you just call me?”Efrain blinked his eyes and responded quickly, “Nine-Clawed Primordial Dragon?”“No, not that! Why did you call me Princess Arielle Moon? Did you mistake me for someone else?”“A-Ah? Haha... d-did I call you that? Perhaps I’m just over the moon after seeing your transformation. Yeah, that’s it. You must believe me!” Efrain replied, feigning ignorance. I squinted my eyes into a slit to see if he was telling the truth, but I couldn’t find traces of lies.Hmph!He must be lying through his teeth!Tch. I can’t be bothered with him. I snorted and ignored Efrain. “Don’t bother me.” Then I look at my body with admiration. Wow, I’m so huge. Although I’m not as huge as Efrain, I’m still happy with my new appearance. My claws are sharp like metal and they’re gorgeo
Slap!A crisp slap rang through my ears, making my head buzzed for a second and my face burned like I was stung by bees. However, this little sensation was nothing to me as I was already used to this.Helen, my ungrateful mother, looks at me in disgust, as if touching me sullied her hands.She said with a scornful gaze, "You stinky child thinking of going to school again?! Hah! You can only dream! In this life, you will only be a slave and nothing more!"My mother's spiteful words are like a knife stabbed into my chest.Why is Helen always saying that I will only be a slave in this life? Is she cursing me?Ever since I was little, she was always against me going to school. I get that we're dirt poor, but I know my parents can still afford to send me to public school. But for some reason, they strongly refused my requests.As a result, when I turned eight, I secretly went to an old man's house every day to learn how to read and write. My parents were too busy to notice my changes anyway
The guards at the gate looked down at me disdainfully and said to the men who brought me here, "Is this the slave? She looks young."Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching and two people came out, a woman and a man."Heh, Garry sent someone so young? What is he thinking?" the man said while scrutinizing me.I just look at him expressionlessly."Hm? This girl wasn't intimidated by you, Lucio. Interesting. I guess I know what Garry was thinking about when he sent this poor girl here." the woman said while smirking.Hmph! If I'm a poor girl, you are a pretentious girl!"What is it, Tanya?""I'll tell you later." the woman stared at me and said, "What's your name?"I stared at her and answered in a monotonous tone, "Arielle,"Her lips curled up into a devious smirk. "I think you are quite useful to the pack."Useful? How could I be useful to them?Whatever!Then they ordered someone to take me inside with them.Despite being unwilling, I couldn't do anything but relent for now.Becoming a
I was busy all day preparing Ericka's dress for tomorrow. In the middle, Ericka has been making me run around like watering her potted plants, catching a cat that troubled me so much, killing a cockroach, climbing a tree, trimming her plants which is the job of the gardener, and so forth.Doing all that makes me feel like I'm a headless chicken running around the territory.Earlier, Ericka told me to go to the western gate and wait for someone there.And goddamnit, I was here for eternity!The twenty guards were making weird glances at me all this time."Why are you still here?" a guard asked."I'm waiting for someone," I replied while shrugging my shoulders nonchalantly.The guards look at me weirdly."Why would you wait here? No one comes in here because this side was near the cliff and we are guarding here for beasts! You must be out of your mind or just trying to avoid doing work!"My eyebrows furrowed. "How could that be? Miss Ericka clearly stated that someone would be here to gi
When we arrived at the main palace, there were many people there waiting as well. They are the members of the pack. However, I didn't see the Alpha around. Meanwhile, some maidservants were pouring these people tea on their teacups. The pack members greeted Ericka enthusiastically like she was already the lady of the house. And Ericka greeted back cordially but her composure remained elegant. I saw Tanya as well and she stood up to greet Ericka. Then they indulged in conversation while I just stood there like a statue doing nothing like the other maidservants. My ears perked up when they mentioned the future Alpha, Robin. So I listen carefully. "I heard Young Master Robin received an award this year!" "Yes! He is a genius!" "Our future Alpha is great!" "Of course, he is our pack's treasure!" Hearing their praises aloud, I couldn't help but wonder if what they said was true. For some reason, I am looking forward to meeting the great future Alpha. The pack members continued
