Another Last Episode

 
Khan was waiting for Luna’s return.
 
Recently, it had become a habit for him to peer intently out the window at the street when it was time for Luna to come back from town.
 
And when he confirmed Luna’s figure, he would quietly close the curtain and return to his magic research.
 
The rational part of him knew that Luna would always come back.
 
She fully understood that she had been sold. In fact, she seemed even more conscious of the price she … Read the rest

Last Episode

Laura was placed in an orphanage. She didn’t know why it happened. She couldn’t remember ever having a father. Her mother had been there, but she disappeared at some point.

Various adults led her by the hand—some were kind, some seemed annoyed—and before she knew it, she was at the orphanage.

A Scary Place

That was Laura’s first impression of the orphanage.

A large, symmetrical building with black stone walls, a sturdy iron gate at the entrance, and tall brick walls surrounding it.

Once I go in, I might never come out.

Laura stood frozen in front of … Read the rest

Epilogue

Luciana stood before the gates of the palace.

The guards found the old court magician standing alone to be quite strange, but they didn’t dare to approach her.

Eventually, a female magician with red eyes and a white hood appeared from nowhere and spoke to Luciana. Together, they disappeared into the palace.

The guards quickly forgot about the woman in the white hood.

“Is Rath’s condition that bad?”

Luna asked Luciana.

“It has been bad for a while. Considering his age, he’s lasted quite well,” L

Both Luciana and Rath were around seventy. They had lived long lives.

“This … Read the rest

Conrad took Luna and his two subordinates to Kahn’s mansion.

As they approached the mansion, he felt an increasing urge to turn back. He knew this was due to the barrier, so he steeled himself and followed Luna.

His two subordinates wore uncomfortable expressions but managed to keep up.

Luna stepped through the mansion gate.

“Stick close to me if you don’t want a ghoul grabbing your ankles.”

Conrad and his men followed Luna closely, cautiously entering the premises.

When Luna opened the mansion door, three skeletons awaited them.

“Grim Reapers. They’ve been waiting for my return.”

Introducing the ominous … Read the rest

Luna decided to help out at the orphanage.

Dorothy and the others were getting old and there were not enough young helpers. Luna also wanted to be there for Molly in her final days.

Luna was popular with the children at the orphanage. She had been taught by many masters and was experienced as a learner, making her a patient and skilled teacher.

To Luna, the children were easier to deal with than the undead because they could speak.

The children were cute and soft, but they also seemed fragile. Like young plants just beginning to sprout, they had the … Read the rest

“Mason passed away a little while ago, but Molly is still doing well. She’s bedridden these days, though,”

After chatting with Luna for a while, Dorothy led her to the room where Molly was.

Luna explained to Dorothy, “I became a wizard’s apprentice, but the wizard who bought me died, so I continued my training under his master.” Dorothy seemed to understand from this explanation.

“Molly, don’t be surprised. It’s Luna. She’s become a wizard,”

Dorothy said as she ushered Luna into Molly’s room.

Molly was sitting up in bed, staring out the window at the children playing outside.

She … Read the rest

After many long years, Luna was finally freed from her thirst for blood.

She had learned to minimize her magic usage in everyday life and could now draw magic from nature as naturally as breathing.

Forty years had passed since she arrived in Banukht, but her appearance had not changed at all.

“So, what now?”

Luna pondered.

Her goal had been achieved. However, she now found herself without a new purpose. If she had to name one, it would be defeating Logan.

But Logan had stopped fighting her entirely.

Although Logan’s appearance had also remained unchanged, he spent more and … Read the rest

SIDE 6

The flatlands, which should have been empty, were brightly lit.

Tens of thousands of soldiers were encamped there.

Despite the impending war, their faces were not dark. The soldiers felt it was an honor to be with their undefeated king.

Moreover, the king held up an ideal:

• Unifying the world, a country where everyone is equal, a place where everyone can be happy –

When the king first presented this ideal, everyone scoffed.

The higher one’s rank, the more they seemed to dismiss it as a pipe dream.

But the king pressed forward. Ignoring rational objections and emotional … Read the rest

Once a month, Luna fought Logan.

This was partly because it was a condition of becoming his apprentice, but also because he simply wanted to beat him someday.

At first, Luna thought that it would not be so difficult to win.

After all, the opponent was an old man. Logan was getting weaker day by day, but Luna was immortal and had superhuman physical abilities, and the amount of his magical power could not be compared to that of a human being.

He was optimistic that once his magical skills improved through training, the gap between Luna and Logan would … Read the rest

“What’s the condition?”

Luna had a bad feeling about the old man’s peculiar statement.

“Fight me. Seriously. Even after you become my disciple, we will fight about once a month.”

Logan responded cheerfully.

Fight? With this old man? Luna was bewildered.

“Um, I’ve become the Immortal King, so I’m probably quite strong. I might accidentally kill you…”

Luna’s current power was formidable. She wasn’t sure if she could hold back.

“Idiot, of course, I’m stronger. Do you know who I am? I’m the legendary archmage! I’m even mentioned in magical books!

And you, getting all cocky just because you’ve become … Read the rest
