      UMS 04 Cover
      by Aqsa — Chapter 4  Breaking Through the Wall with a Fist Jianglin City’s Western Mountain was completely buried beneath snow. Deep in the mountains, where no one ever ventured, only the dull, heavy sound of repeated impacts echoed without end. Thud! Thud! Thud! Lu Fan had thrown off his shirt and was pounding on an ironstone as tall as a man. Every time his fist struck, stone dust scattered and a deep dent appeared on its surface. His arms were in an even worse state. The skin over his knuckles had split…

      by Aqsa — Chapter 3  Enduring Is a Skill Too The words that had appeared on the Ink Stone in front of the Scripture Repository remained for a long time. 【Ink Stone Assessment】 Realm: Body Tempering Realm, 5th Layer Grade: Intermediate Lu Fan took another look at the glowing words. That very morning, he had still been at the third layer of the Body Tempering Realm. Even now, the fact that he had broken through two stages in a single day from the barrier that had stopped him for years…

      by Aqsa — Chapter 2  Two Stages in a Day It was only after an hour that Lu Fan opened his eyes. The moment he sat up, a series of crisp sounds came from his stiffened joints. Crack, crack. For a while, Lu Fan sat in the snow and stared down at his own hands. He had been lying there long enough for his entire body to become buried in snow, yet he felt neither cold nor fatigue. If anything, his body felt lighter than before. When he clenched his fist, strength flowed evenly all the way to his…

      UMS 01 Cover
      by Aqsa — Chapter 1  The Lu Family's Good-for-Nothing Winter had arrived in Jianglin City. The biting northern wind swept across the plaza, yet no one left their place. Boys and girls under the age of eighteen stared only at the black stone standing in the center of the square. A two-zhang-tall Ink Stone. The two characters carved into its surface—“Martial Dao”—emanated a heavy, imposing aura beneath the winter sunlight. Today was the day the Martial Dao Academy of the Wu'an Kingdom selected…

      STP 12 Cover
      by Aqsa — Chapter 12 All day long, the words Laud had left her with echoed through Theodor's mind like a headache. As she picked flowers that could be used as medicine, Theodor let out a deep sigh. “Your Highness, is something troubling you?” Gentletre, who had been watching her carefully, asked cautiously. For the past few days, Laud had been sleeping in Theodor's residence every single night without fail. Of course, the two of them were not sharing a bed, but as Gentletre had worried, it was…

      STP 11 Cover
      by Aqsa — Chapter 11 “Your Highness, you should at least eat a little.” “Mm…” Theodor barely managed to answer in her hoarse voice as she slowly raised her heavy body. After the Emperor’s birthday banquet, she had been suffering from a mysterious fever and cold for three full days. Gentletre looked at Theodor with pity. Although she did not show it outwardly, it was obvious that Theodor had been hurt because Laud had left without taking the pie she had made. “There must have been a…

      STP 10 Cover
      by Aqsa — Chapter 10 Everyone working in the imperial palace of the Lasol Empire was frantically busy. The Emperor's birthday was practically a national event, after all. For three days, parties were held inside the imperial palace, while various welfare events for the common people were organized outside. The nobles went about with dark circles under their eyes from preparing for the parties and events, while the knights who would be marching alongside Laud devoted themselves to practice so that there would…

      STP 09 Cover
      by Aqsa — Chapter 9 Theodora rested her chin in her hand and stared blankly out the window. After repeatedly picking up and setting down her teacup for quite some time, she finally seemed to make up her mind and spoke. “Gentle.” “Yes, Your Highness.” “Um, by any chance…… do you know what His Majesty the Emperor likes?” “……Hmm. His Majesty?” At her unexpected question, Gentle fell silent, looking somewhat troubled. Although she had spent time near Raud when she served in…

      STP 08 Cover
      by Aqsa — Chapter 8 “S-sorry……!” Theodora hurriedly apologized, her shoulders trembling violently. Yet even after apologizing, she still had no idea what she had done wrong. “Call the Imperial Physician at once!” A moment later, the Imperial Physician hurried into the bedroom. As though it were only natural that he should examine Raud’s condition, he approached him. “Not me! I told you to look at the Consort!” “Y-yes?” “How could the Imperial Physician have failed to…

      STP 07 Cover
      by Aqsa — Chapter 7 “Hmm-hmm……!” After some time, Raud, who had been holding her in his arms, seemed even more startled by his own actions and hurriedly pushed Theodora away. Suddenly deprived of the warmth of his embrace, she staggered from the momentum and, embarrassed, grabbed hold of the wall. “……I was worried you might have been hurt, even if only a little, my spoils of war.” His face had already returned to its usual cold expression as he spoke icily. Theodora desperately tried to calm…
