In a dark room filled with the stench of blood and sulfur, Victor’s minions moved swiftly, carefully arranging the corpses within a magical circle. Their murmured movements were faint amidst the ongoing ritual. Victor stood at the center of the circle, flanked by five artifacts glowing with magical power.

“Quickly! Ensure all the bodies are placed in the correct positions!” Victor commanded sharply. His voice echoed in the silence of the room. “Every detail must be perfect if we want this ritual to succeed.”

One of the executives, a sorcerer in a black robe, asked with a trembling voice, “Master Victor, this ritual is extremely dangerous. We could open a gateway to a dimension we cannot control.”

Victor eyed him sharply. “Do not worry. We have the power to handle any threats from other dimensions.”

Another executive standing next to Victor looked on with concern. “I hope this doesn’t spiral out of control.”

Victor turned to him with a cold gaze. “Everything is for a greater purpose. W

    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

    After they successfully overcame the traps in the valley path, the atmosphere became quiet and tense. The rocks that had been falling from above were now still, as if the entire dimension had taken a deep breath, waiting for something bigger to happen. Liam signaled the team to keep moving, even though they all felt the same tension.Evan walked at the front, his eyes sharp, scanning every corner of the valley they passed through. He could sense that this calm was a bad omen. A sudden silence like this rarely meant anything good. As someone who had fought various enemies, Evan knew all too well that a clever foe always reserved their best attack for the most unexpected moments.“This is too quiet,” Evan muttered softly, just loud enough for Aria, who was walking beside him, to hear.Aria nodded in agreement, her face reflecting the same anxiety. “Yes, it’s as if they’re waiting for something... or maybe they’re preparing something bigger.”Evan nodded but said nothing more. In his min

    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

    Inside the cave, the cold, damp air greeted them. Every step they took echoed, as if calling something from within the darkness. Evan pressed forward, holding the torch. He tried to sense the presence of kobolds with his abilities, but everything felt silent—too silent. This only strengthened the feeling that they were truly in enemy territory.The deeper they ventured, the stronger Evan felt that something was wrong. Occasionally, he felt vibrations beneath his feet, as if something was moving far below the ground.

    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

    The battle in the underground hall reached an unparalleled intensity. Thousands of kobolds, though individually weak, attacked simultaneously with all manner of weapons and traps. Exhaustion began to weigh heavily on Evan and his team, but they had to hold their ground.Aria stood at the frontline, wielding her wind magic. She conjured protective walls of wind that shielded against arrows and other projectiles. Additionally, shadows she summoned with her magic served as counterattacks, sweeping away kobolds that dared approach with deadly force. In the chaos, Aria appeared as an unshakeable guardian, maintaining the team's formation and minimizing the onslaught from all directions.On the other side, Liam fought with an aggressive and destructive style. Every movement he made unleashed waves of energy that obliterated the kobolds' ranks in a single strike. His actions were filled with skill and power, clearing out any enemies that dared to come near.Celeste Ironfist, who had remained

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

Maria, Evan's mother, stood in the middle of the crowd, her expression reflecting the weight of the news they had received.Liam, usually accustomed to pressure, felt an overwhelming emotional burden as he took in the scene. He stepped forward, trying to deliver the news carefully, though his voice was heavy with sorrow.

    Evan slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that greeted him was the system screen that suddenly appeared before him. The words on the screen made him pause for a moment. "Congratulations," the message read, "You have become the Guardian of Earth." His heart raced as he read those words, but before he could fully process it, the screen vanished, leaving behind a warm sensation that spread throughout his body. The warmth made him feel at peace, as if all the heavy burdens he had carried were suddenly lifted away. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a room that was familiar to him. The wooden ceiling adorned with classic carvings, the thick curtains framing the large window, and the distinctive aroma. This room was his at the Ironfist family's residence. Evan tried to get up from the bed, but the exhaustion still lingered throughout his body. "Evan..." A soft voice, full of emotion, called his name. He turned towards the voice and saw Aria standing at the doorway,

    Victor observed the battlefield around him with a sharp gaze. His once-invincible army had now been shattered, defeated by the alliance of the Guardians and Ironfist Hunter. His body trembled, not only from exhaustion but also from the anger that was slowly taking over him. In his mind, he contemplated the chaos that had unfolded, realizing that his perfect plan had fallen apart. "I didn't expect them to get this far," he muttered cynically, his eyes fixed on Evan, who still stood firm before him. Every blow, every strike from Evan, felt increasingly heavy and powerful. Victor began to feel a pressure he had never experienced before. He, who had always considered himself invincible, was now feeling the push and panic. "Evan Walker... You turned out to be far stronger than I imagined," said Victor, his lips curling into a thin, hate-filled smile. He looked at Evan with eyes full of rage and determination. "But I won't give up that easily!" In a final attempt, Victor summoned the dar

Aria commanded firmly, her sword glowing with a fusion of wind and shadow energy.Hugo, with his fiery fists blazing, added, "We have to stop him now, or everything will be for nothing!"But Victor only smiled coldly.

    In Arcadia City, Victor Draven stood at the edge of a towering building, his sharp eyes surveying the battlefield below. Initially, he was confident of an absolute victory. His army of various monstrous races had wreaked havoc across Arcadia, burning buildings and ruthlessly crushing their opponents. However, as time passed, that confidence began to wane, replaced by a creeping unease within him.

The arrival of the Ironfist Hunter warriors had a tremendous impact that Victor had never anticipated. They came like an unexpected storm, wielding power and strategy that shifted the momentum of the battle. On the battlefield, the Ironfist Hunter showed their prowess.

The sheer number of enemies, combined with the strength of the monster leaders, forced them into a corner. Each of the monster leaders had descended onto the battlefield, causing chaos and complicating the situation for the elite Guardians, who had to divide their focus.Amon, with his magic whip writhing like a living serpent and his ability to control wild beasts, targeted the leader of the Minotaur race.

He used his magic to tame the wild beasts around the battlefield, forcing them to attack the Minotaur from all directions, while his magic whip attempted to ensnare the giant’s legs.

Even though he had achieved victory and brought peace to this world, there was an emptiness he could not ignore. He felt that there were still things left to do, other places that needed his presence—especially Earth, his home. Galathiel, the guardian who had guided him all this time, stood before Evan, a soft light emanating from his entire being. Galathiel’s gaze was filled with wisdom and understanding, as if he could see all the doubts lingering in Evan’s heart.

But I know, your heart does not fully reside here." Evan lowered his head slightly, feeling a mix of emotions weighing on him. "I feel that my task here is finished, and I need to return to Earth. T
