2024-10-29 19:42:56In the moments before the sword struck Evan’s neck, a car suddenly turned and illuminated Evan with its blinding headlights.
Tiinnn!! Evan didn’t think twice. He jumped in front of the car and closed his eyes. Citttt! Brughh Evan felt a heavy impact. But due to his high endurance stat, he was able to get up quickly. “Hey?!! Are you okay?!!” The driver of the car got out and looked at Evan’s body. “I’ll take you to the hospital!” Evan ignored the driver. He scanned his surroundings, searching for the thief who had attacked him. “Kid?” Evan looked back at the driver. “I’m fine. I’m okay.” The driver was silent. He was sure he had hit Evan hard. The front bumper of his car was even dented, but Evan only had minor injuries. Was that even possible? The driver wondered to himself. After ensuring the area was safe, Evan ran back across the street to the shop. The chime of the door greeted Evan as he entered. “Hello Evan. What do you need?” asked the shop owner, kindly. “Do you have a large flashlight, Mrs. Margarita?” Evan asked. The shop owner nodded. “Just a moment.” Panicked, Evan glanced out the window. In the dark alley, he felt a piercing gaze from the darkness lurking. “Here’s what you asked for.” The shop owner handed the flashlight to Evan. “Um… Can I pay you later?” Evan asked, hesitantly. The shop owner nodded. She knew Evan well because he often helped her in the shop without expecting payment. “No problem. You can have it.” Evan lowered his head. “Thank you, Mrs. Margarita. I’ll pay you later.” After bowing to Mrs. Margarita, Evan hurried back toward the Chang family’s shop. He hoped he wasn’t too late. Evan’s once-fast pace began to slow as he neared the dark figure standing in the shadows. “I wonder why you’re still alive after being hit so hard.” Evan stopped. He regulated his racing heartbeat. “Consider me lucky,” Evan replied. The man grinned. “Let’s find out. Will the flashlight and luck help you stay alive or not.” The man then vanished from Evan’s sight. Quickly, Evan turned on the flashlight he held and directed it into the darkness. This time, Evan could see the man’s trail. “I’ll catch you!” From the side, an attack with lethal intent came like lightning. “Ughh!!” Evan was thrown back by the man’s hard kick. The attack was even more painful than being hit by a car. Evan struggled to stand because his life was at stake. “You can still stand?” Evan didn’t answer the question. If he had any other option, he might have fled earlier. But he wouldn’t do that. What’s the difference between dying now or later? Evan was ready to risk everything. “I’m going to finish this damned quest!” Evan directed the flashlight in various directions while gripping his knife tightly. His Sensitivity stat was high enough to sense movement in the darkness. His reflexes were quick enough to dodge, and he was sure his strength was enough to deliver a single attack. “Come on!” From behind, Evan felt an overwhelming sense of dread. After thinking for a moment, Evan realized he was always attacked from behind. “Not yet!” Evan remained still. He closed his eyes and focused on one crucial moment. “Not yet!” The night wind blew, animal noises, distant vehicles, rustling branches, then faint footsteps. Evan closed his eyes and counted in his mind. In slow motion, a sword moved quickly toward Evan’s body. This time Evan remained calm. He had to face it. In just a few seconds, before the sword could pierce his body, he turned around skillfully and directed the flashlight at the man’s body. “It’s too late, kid!” Evan saw everything in slow motion—the sword and the death approaching him. “Move!!” Evan urged in his mind. “Please, move!!” ***

Evan stared at the man with undeniable intensity. "This is the end," he murmured to himself. The man launched his final attack, a swift and deadly thrust aimed directly at Evan’s heart. But at that crucial moment, Evan leapt forward, his body spinning in mid-air. The tip of the man’s sword only managed to graze Evan’s shoulder, while Evan, with perfect precision, drove his knife into the man’s stomach. The man groaned in pain, blood pouring from his wound. He staggered back but still wanted to continue the fight. “Who’s there?!” Evan and the man stared at each other. Evan had given everything he had. If this fight continued, Evan knew he would lose his life. “Hurry! It sounds like there’s a fight over there!!” The voices of the townspeople grew closer to their location. The man didn’t want to leave because of his wounded pride, but he had no other choice. This battle was over, and his mission had failed. But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t have another chance.

Evan woke up that morning with mixed feelings. Though his wounds were healing, his mind was continuously occupied with the appearance of Aria Sterling in their home. Now back at home, far from her destroyed house, Evan felt a heavy responsibility weighing on him. He sat on his bed, staring at the wardrobe where Aria had slept the night before.When Evan came down to the dining room, he found Elma busy preparing breakfast. Her face still showed signs of fatigue, but there was a gentle smile on her lips as she saw Evan.“Good morning, Evan,” Elma greeted warmly. “How did you sleep?”“Good morning, Aunt Elma,” Evan replied as he sat at the dining table. “I slept well. But… I’m still curious about the girl you brought home yesterday. What exactly happened?”Elma sighed and stirred the soup in the pot. “Her name is Aria Sterling. I found her outside the house last night, and she looked exhausted and deeply distressed.”Evan listened intently. “Did she say anything? Does she know who was af

As the sun began to set, the Walker family gathered in the living room. Aria, feeling more at ease in this new environment, sat on one of the sofas while Evan, Maria, Daniel, and Elma surrounded her. They planned to discuss their next steps.“So, Aria,” Maria began gently, “we’ve heard about the situation you’re facing. But we’d like to understand more about what happened and how we can help.”Aria nodded, looking at Maria with eyes still showing anxiety. “I know it might be hard to believe, but the people who were chasing me have very dark and powerful abilities. They’re after me because of this arrow,” she said, pointing to the relic she carried. “I’ve seen their own power, and they seem to have magical abilities.”Daniel, who had always been skeptical of things that couldn’t be explained scientifically, looked at Aria with doubt. “Magic? That sounds like fiction. We live in the real world, not in a novel.”Elma bit her lip, trying to recall if there was any logical explanation for

The next morning, the atmosphere in the Walker household was tense. After the conversation the previous night, Maria and Daniel decided to report the situation they were facing to the police. They felt it was the right step to ensure Aria’s safety and their own. Evan, who was anxious but could not say much, could only wait and hope everything would go smoothly.That morning, Maria and Daniel prepared the documents and information they had gathered about the incident. Maria double-checked her notes while preparing a light breakfast for the family. Daniel made sure nothing was left behind. They wanted to make sure their report was clear and complete.“Daniel, is everything ready?” Maria asked while serving tea for her husband.“Yes, everything’s ready,” Daniel replied, looking at the documents in his hand. “I’ll head to the police station after breakfast. I hope this report will get serious attention.”After breakfast, Daniel left for the police station with the full report about the si

The morning light filtered softly through the curtains of the Walker household. Evan had been up early, his mind racing with thoughts about the previous night's events. Aria’s presence and the revelation of her magical abilities had stirred a new determination within him. He had made up his mind to learn more about magic, and the only person who could help him was Aria. Evan had decided that he needed to keep his newfound interest in magic and his own abilities a secret. He didn’t want to alarm his parents or create more concern than necessary. Thus, he approached Aria with a carefully crafted plan. After breakfast, Evan found Aria alone in the living room, quietly drawing with crayons. Evan hesitated for a moment, then walked over and sat beside her.“Hey, Aria,” Evan began, trying to sound casual. “I’ve been thinking... I know you can do magic, and I was wondering if you could teach me a bit.”Aria looked up, her blue eyes wide with surprise. “You want to learn magic?”Evan nodded

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chapter 172: The Beginning of an End
After everything that had happened, after all the battles and sacrifices, Evan knew that his time in Lunaris was coming to an end. 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. "Evan," Galathiel began in a gentle voice that echoed throughout the temple, "you have done more than anyone could have hoped. You have protected this world and given new hope to its inhabitants. 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
