December 30. Wednesday. Every month in the Fisher World consists of 30 days, so this day was the final day of the 400th year of the Age of Mist. Humanity was about to usher in a new century, sending the entire world into what seemed like a carnival. Siles felt this atmosphere when he left home in the morning. The shops along the streets had hung up New Year decorations early, and some had even launched New Year sales. Young children set off small fireworks, playfully fighting and chasing each…-

Chapter 1: The Era of Radiance The elevator descended slowly, like a meteor plunging into an ocean of multicolored neon signs. Through the glass, a colossal steel metropolis laid itself bare. Countless steel beams twisted and spiraled upward, dominating the landscape like giant serpents coiled across the earth. The further down they went, the more brilliant and densely packed the neon signs became, merging into clusters that resembled cheap glass rhinestones. Acid rain poured down, carving deep,…-

In truth, the kiss lasted for only a brief moment. Chendo barely brushed his lips against Siles's, much like a small animal making sure its master was still alive. Then, he held Siles in a tight, desperate embrace. He fumbled until he found Siles's hand, gripping it tightly, their fingers tightly intertwined. Siles patted Chendo's back, realizing that the man was trembling slightly. Seeing the still-unhealed wound on the back of Chendo's hand, Siles lowered his eyes and sighed faintly. Knowing…

After Siles closed his eyes, Chendo quickly caught and supported his frame. Simultaneously, Chendo shot a dark, piercing glare toward Mary, making a sharp downward gesture with his hand: Close your eyes. Mary wasn't caught off guard by this. Perfectly matching the immense strength of the explorer Chendo Praia was his eccentric, arrogant temperament and his peculiar habits. Usually, before he resorted to utilizing his power, Chendo would signal other explorers to close their eyes. Of course, if the…

"Where should the story begin?" On the night of Monday, November 2nd, aboard the Light of First Snow train heading from Biedel to Maltz, the group still consisted of the same four people: Siles, Chendo, Chester, and Alva. They sat there, listening to Siles analyze the full sequence of events behind the incident. They had already left the House of Hales. In a sense, the House of Hales no longer existed. Reconstruction was progressing at a very slow pace, and it remained uncertain whether the House of…

That was a rather exquisite little book named The World of Little Cynthia. It was pocket-sized, slightly thick, and hardcover. Siles flipped through a few pages and then said with a hint of surprise, "This is a collection of fairy tales?" "No," Calverley said. "It would be more accurate to say it is a collection of sprite stories." Sprite stories. This was a genre of storytelling that was not quite like a novel, but rather a collection of folklore passed down by word of mouth or a compilation of…

Chapter 132: The Fall of the Old Gods "It was also a snowy day," Fred said. "It happened in weather similar to what we're experiencing now. Ten years ago, trains weren't as convenient as they are today, so we got stranded in the middle of our journey. "...It wasn't even a problem with the train tracks; it was just heavy snow that made it impossible for the train to move forward. We were stuck there for several days, and everyone was discouraged and disheartened. "That old man, he told me to call…

"Good afternoon, Professor Noel." Dr. Chester looked to be in high spirits, perhaps because, after so many years, he had finally made up his mind to face his long-standing nightmare. Beside him, the young man gazed curiously at Siles and Chendo. Chester then introduced them to each other. The man was named Alva Gillini, a traveling companion Chester had met on the train. They had chatted for nearly the entire journey and had come to know a bit about each other. Furthermore, Chester added, "Alva…

The merchant Billy obediently followed them to the police station and turned himself in, claiming responsibility for assault. The surprised expressions on the officers' faces made it clear that they found this situation highly unusual. Regardless, Billy was extremely cooperative; he even took the initiative to hand over the gun. It was a small, delicate, all-silver pistol. It looked quite distinctive, carrying the air of an exquisite and unique antique firearm. Siles heard one of the officers…

Reading on a train always brings a strange sensation where one loses all track of day and night. When Siles lifted his gaze from the text, he felt as though a lifetime had passed. Outside the window, they had long since left the city of Lamifa far behind and were currently cutting through a somewhat desolate landscape. The faint, golden setting sun hung precariously at a corner of the world. Siles glanced at his pocket watch and discovered that the time was actually past four o'clock. Chendo was…
