Chaos spread everywhere. It wasn't just Arcadia City; other cities were experiencing the same turmoil. In the ominous night, the sky was darkened by thick black clouds, and red lightning continuously flashed. This calamity was the result of a meticulously planned ritual by Victor.From his office in a skyscraper, Victor observed the chaos with satisfaction. He stood behind a large floor-to-ceiling glass window, looking down at the tumultuous city below. His cold, calculating expression reflected the dark pleasure he felt at the success of his plan to create widespread disorder.Victor gazed at the terrifying scene below with eyes gleaming with satisfaction. "Finally, everything is as I wanted," he whispered to himself. "The world is undergoing the reconstruction it should, and this chaos is the first step toward my ultimate goal."Around Victor, the luxurious and modern office contrasted sharply with the turmoil outside. The marble floors and clean glass walls showed no sign of the de
In front of the menacing black vortex, Evan, Aria, and Liam discussed seriously. They had spent several hours searching for artifacts or clues around the location, but all their efforts seemed in vain. There were no signs of ritual materials or magical components that could help them close the dimensional rift.Tension etched Evan's face as he scrutinized the vortex with frustration. "We haven't found anything around here. What should we do now?"Aria, appearing tired but still focused, wiped sweat from her brow. "We might not have many options left but to try entering the rift."Liam looked at Aria with concern. "Entering the rift? Isn't that too dangerous?"Aria nodded. "Yes, it might be our only option. If this rift can be used to release these creatures, perhaps we can use the same way to enter and close it from within. However, we don't know what terrain or enemies we might face in that dimension."Evan furrowed his brow. "True, we don’t know what’s inside, but if we can't close
Evan, Aria, and Liam treaded carefully in this unfamiliar world, observing every detail that seemed strange. The trees with purple leaves and the fruits that glowed softly at night heightened their sense of alertness. Around them, the sounds of unknown creatures echoed, adding to the ominous atmosphere.“Do you think we’re still in the same world?” Liam asked, his voice low but filled with concern.Aria shook her head slowly, her eyes sharp as she scanned the surroundings. “This is clearly not our world. The energy here feels different, heavier, and… denser,” she replied, gripping her sword more tightly.Evan nodded, carefully surveying the area. “We need to stay vigilant. This world might look strange, but danger could come from anywhere.”They continued their journey, passing by strange and unusual creatures they had never encountered before. These creatures watched from afar, their eyes gleaming oddly under the dim light of the moon.When they reached a village that seemed suspicio
That night, under a sky unfamiliar to them, filled with stars they did not recognize, Evan, Aria, and Liam gathered around a small campfire they had made. The quiet of the forest heightened their tension, while the shadow of the large Goblin tent loomed ominously in the distance.Aria broke the silence, "We need to move quickly. We can't stay here for too long. Who knows what's happening in our world right now."Evan nodded, fully aware that every second they spent here could be fatal for those they left behind in Arcadia. "I agree. But we can't be reckless. We need a solid plan before we enter that village. The tent in the middle of the village is clearly the center, and where the large magical power is coming from."Liam, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "If we can reach that tent without being detected, we might be able to get information or even find a way to close the dimensional rift."Aria stared at the campfire seriously. "Tonight we need to assign tasks. Who w
Aria and Liam hurried toward their rendezvous point, but their steps faltered when they saw thick smoke and flames rising from within the Goblin village. Panic and dread spread between them as they stared at the fire beginning to spread around the large tent.Aria looked at Liam anxiously. "Did Evan really start the attack without coordinating with us?"Liam frowned, also looking concerned. "Most likely. But we can't just stand here. We need to find out what's happening and make sure Evan is safe."Aria nodded, and quickly they both decided to turn back toward the Goblin village, but their path to reach Evan was not easily accessible.The route they took was filled with goblins running in fear, trapped in the spreading fire. The closer they got to the large tent, the more goblins they encountered.They had no choice but to confront a group of goblins that had just emerged from the burning tent. Aria and Liam had to fight. Aria drew her magic staff and moved quickly, chanting a wind sp
The battle between Evan and the Goblin Chief entered a new, more intense, and thrilling phase. Inside the destroyed tent, the atmosphere was tense and chaotic, enveloping the space.Evan stood in the middle of the battlefield, now filled with debris and dust, while the large and muscular Goblin Chief moved with surprising strength. The Goblin Chief let out a terrifying roar, and with one swing of his staff surrounded by dark energy, he created a shockwave that swept through the entire area, shaking the ground and forcing Evan to struggle to stay on his feet.Evan dodged the attack with impressive speed, moving across the scattered debris. With quick, trained movements, he swung his sword that emitted a bright blue light, slashing toward the Goblin Chief. However, the Goblin Chief used his staff to parry the attack with immense force, causing magical sparks to fly.Evan realized that his physical attacks were not effective enough against the dark power possessed by the Goblin Chief. He
On the television screen, the face of a news anchor appeared pale, his eyes full of concern as he reported the latest news. "We have just received reports that the alien invasion has spread across the globe. Major cities in various countries are now in a state of emergency."In a destroyed home, a small family gathered in front of a still-working television, though its screen was cracked. The father, his face filled with sorrow and despair, clenched his hands, his voice trembling. "We have to leave. We can't stay in this place that's no longer safe. But where? There's no safe place left in this world."His wife, holding their young child in her lap, shook her head gently. "There’s nothing we can do. All we can do is hope... hope that someone comes to save us."In another part of the city, a group of people gathered outside the large building that served as Victor’s headquarters. One man, with eyes full of respect and hope, spoke loudly to the others. "Victor will protect us. He saved
In the heart of Arcadia, the safe zone established by Victor Draven grew increasingly crowded with people seeking refuge. His towering skyscraper stood as a beacon of hope amidst the surrounding devastation. But for Victor, this was more than just a heroic act—it was an opportunity to build a loyal army, bound only to him.The recruitment process within the safe zone was meticulously organized. Victor didn’t want just anyone in his ranks. In the skyscraper’s grand lobby, a long table was set up specifically for registration and selection. Young men eager to join had to undergo rigorous screening.First, they faced intense physical tests under the supervision of seasoned fighters who had long served Victor. These tests were designed to measure strength, endurance, and basic combat skills. Only those who passed with satisfactory results could proceed to the next stage.Next, they underwent psychological evaluation. Victor wanted to ensure that only those with high loyalty and strong men
