In the city of Arcadia, Isolde Vesper stood amidst the ruins, scanning her surroundings with vigilance. She had managed to fend off the alien creatures using her ice powers, but the battle had not yielded satisfactory results. Although she had repelled many of them and protected the refugees, the creatures had managed to escape and spread to other areas.Isolde felt frustrated as she realized that this time, the enemies seemed more intelligent and skilled compared to previous attacks. "They're not only more numerous and stronger," Isolde muttered to herself, "they also seem to know how to avoid attacks and employ strategies."Looking around at the debris and scattered areas, Isolde reflected on the situation she faced. "They know how to move and hide amidst the chaos. It's not just about physical strength anymore; they seem to have more refined plans and tactics."Isolde attempted to contact Victor via communication devices, hoping for further instructions or perhaps additional assist

As morning came, the soft sunlight began to touch the surface of the cave. Aria woke up with a sense of drowsiness and confusion. She found herself asleep in front of a campfire, with Evan's jacket covering her. Her feet felt warm from the fire, while the cool morning air touched her face.Aria sat up startled, quickly realizing her situation. She saw Evan sitting by the campfire, smiling gently at her. Aria immediately noticed the jacket draped over her and felt somewhat awkward.“Oh, sorry,” Aria said, her voice tinged with embarrassment as she removed the jacket and stood up. “I didn’t realize I had fallen asleep here.”Evan chuckled softly, remaining seated. “You don’t need to apologize. I saw you were exhausted, so I decided to let you rest.”Aria looked at Evan with a mixed expression of embarrassment and gratitude. “Thank you. I really was very tired. I’m sorry if I caused you any trouble.”Evan shook his head, maintaining his gentle smile. “No need to worry about that. We all

Days passed slowly, as if time itself was against them. It had been a week since Evan and his group entered a dimension full of strangeness and unseen dangers. Throughout this time, they kept moving forward, with no certainty of what awaited them ahead. However, their mental state began to show signs of collapse. The constant silence and pressure they faced, coupled with the lack of adequate rest, began to take a toll on the psychological state of some group members. Celeste, who was usually calm and attentive, began to show signs of severe mental exhaustion. Her voice, usually gentle and caring, now often sounded sharp and filled with frustration. Every small mistake made by other group members, which she would have previously ignored, now became a reason for her to explode in sudden anger. "You’re all too slow! We’ll never get out of here if you keep this up!" she shouted one night as they set up camp after a full day of walking. Her face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with

In the grand hall of the Ironfist family, the atmosphere was thick with tension and worry. Ten hours had passed in the outside world, which meant ten days had gone by for Evan, Celeste, and their team in that mysterious dimension. The light from the magnificent chandelier, usually warm and inviting, now felt dim under the shadow of anxiety that filled the room.Maria Walker sat in one of the chairs, tightly gripping her husband Daniel's hand. Her face was pale, and her eyes stared blankly ahead, as if searching for hope in the midst of darkness. Beside them, Elena Ironfist stood tall, though her face betrayed the same tension. Elena's eyes occasionally glanced at the door, as if hoping someone would come with good news.One of the Ironfist elders present in the hall tried to offer some comfort. “They are trained individuals. Evan and Aria are strong children. We must believe they will return safely.”Maria nodded slightly, though her heart could not fully accept the words of reassuran

Evan stood in the middle of the grand Colosseum, panting heavily, sweat pouring down his face. He had to find a solution before they were defeated.Evan’s eyes scanned the surroundings. He was looking for the dimensional gate, similar to the one they had seen in the Goblin tent, but as far as he could see, there was no gate around. While attacking and defending, Evan gave the command."Liam?! Do you remember the dimensional gate we encountered in the Goblin dimension?!" Evan shouted amidst the battle."Yes, I remember!!" Liam replied briefly."The dimensional gate isn't visible around here! Liam, lead the others to find that gate! I'll hold them off here!"Aria, who was catching her breath, looked at Evan with a worried expression. "What do you mean?! You can't face them alone!""This is not the time to argue!" Evan replied firmly. "If we don't find that gate, we'll be trapped here! I can hold them off, so you guys have to go now!!"Liam, who was usually full of energy, hesitated for
