Ethan was about to explain to Elfina when the trumpet sound blasted in his ears. It was so loud and it stayed for a long time, meaning that the player wasn't trying to play a song; the only explanation for that was war!Frederick stood up from the chair he was sitting on. He gave Elfina and Ethan a nod before rushing away.Elfina was standing up, looking at Ethan with worry on her face. It was finally starting. It's against the policy of the elves to play trumpets, even as musical instructions. The sound of a trumpet can only mean two things: either the king is summoning his subjects to make an announcement, or the other reason – war!King Milan did not intend to speak with his people, which narrows down the reasons to one. It's the only one that nobody would pray for.Two maids rushed in and whispered in her ears, confirming the rumor."Mr. Ethan, the troops of the dark elves are currently marching towards our kingdom at a steady pace," she said in a panicky voice."Don't worry, Elfi
The battlefield was tense with a strong turmoil as soldiers from both races stood gallantly in front of each other with hatred and the zeal to conquer evident in their eyes.In the sky, three large eagles could be seen hovering. Their wings flapped majestically, revealing the figures standing on them. One of the figures happened to be the human hero summoned into the elf world by the elf princess Elfina.Ethan stood on the back of an eagle, his gaze fixed on the army in front of him, his expression calm.After reaching a certain line, the dark elf army stopped and assumed formations.Their king, a dark elf with many scars, sat on a horse that positioned itself in front of the soldiers. A grin played across his face as he stared at King Milan and the elf soldiers with disgust.Beside him were two other horses—one carrying a young, handsome dark elf in golden armor, presumably the prince of the dark elves. On the other side was a horse adorned with decorations that stood out even more t
Ethan stood on the back of the eagle, staring down at the scene below him with a cold look in his eyes. He placed his hands on the back of the eagle and formed a quick link with the eagle's mind, asking it to soar higher into the sky for him to get a better view of the battlefield.The dark elf soldiers in their distinguished battle gear let out war cries and raced toward the elves. The shields of the army raced in front, with attackers readying their swords and close-range weapons.Behind both forces stood long-range fighters, including both magic and non-magic users.King Marvin, the master system user, and the prince were motionless in the middle of the army.King Marvin lifted his hand and pointed at the army of the elves.The archers readied their bows and arrows, while mages with special magic cast spells on the arrows, adding more damaging power to them.King Marvin's hands that were formerly in a fist form opened, and following this action was the release of the arrows enhance
The transformation doubled Zagaroth's strength by several folds, making him several times stronger than an average mage and swordsman.As of now, Ethan hasn't been able to figure out what he was; if he was a magic user or a martial artist is a mystery that he would try to solve by challenging him here and now.Zagaroth tossed the body of the elf he was holding formerly and stared at Ethan, who has now arrived in front of him. The misty armor on Ethan's body gave off a mysterious and powerful energy that surprised Zagaroth since he hadn't seen anything like it before."What do you think you are, damn human? I was planning to kill you last after killing these pathetic elves, but you are too impatient and now I have to kill you first." Zagaroth's demonic face twisted into a grin."Who said I'm too impatient to die? You speak about death like you have control over it, whereas you are just a tiny, puny dark elf with strength amplification from a necklace. If you were so strong, why not dea
Sometimes love can be the biggest strength to an individual, but at the same time, it can also be the biggest weakness to any individual.Losing loved ones has been proven to be one of the worst events to ever happen to individuals, and in modern society, humans have displayed several reactions to these events, which include both negative and positive ones.Some use the pain and sorrow from this event to take their talents further, like creating songs that are appreciated by millions, arts that win the heart of many, and most use this load of emotion to get wealthier.However, there are those who would rather take another life or get involved in crime to react to this. Humans can never be the same emotionally; there would always be distinguished behaviors from one human to another.But let's take another race for instance, like the dark elves with magical powers and supernatural strength. What would their response be to this?Zagaroth, for example, right now, his eyes are widened in s
The system user was on the side of the dark elf; he had stood side by side with the dark elf king since the beginning of the battle and only spoke once, but now he was doing something contrary to what Ethan had expected from him: killing the prince, the son of the king he was working under, was more than a twist.His back was facing Ethan as he ate the heart of Zagaroth like it was nothing but meat; his mouth dripped with blood as he chewed on it.Ethan felt the atmosphere around him growing tenser and tenser; the pressure increased by manifolds; it even disoriented the soldiers of the elf and dark elf.Those with weak will and mental strength fell to the ground; others fainted because of the pleasure, and a low percentage of the elves died from it.Nevertheless, the effect of this only resulted in a ticklish feeling for Ethan because, compared to these elves, he was stronger. He has gone through lots of battles, training both his mind, spirit, and body to become as strong as he is rig
King Milan's eyes burned with rage as he watched King Morvain mock his family and his gods. He felt the weight of grief and anger from losing his first son resurface, fueling his determination to protect his remaining children and his kingdom. With a furious shout, he raised his hand, and a surge of nature's energy flowed around him.The air itself seemed to vibrate as King Milan tapped into his nature magic, channeling the power of the earth, wind, and flora around him. Vines burst from the ground, wrapping around his arms and forming armor that seemed to meld seamlessly with his body. Leaves and petals swirled in the air, creating a barrier of thorns and razor-sharp leaves that surrounded him protectively.His eyes glowed with an intense green light as he faced King Morvain and Celphas. With a sweeping motion of his arm, he commanded the very elements to respond to his will. The wind whipped around him, lifting dirt and debris into the air and forming a tempest that obscured the bat
"I'll overcome this limit, I'll become the strongest system user and the only system user that the world would remember. Anyone who dares stand in my way perishes, anyone who thinks they are so high and mighty and believes in their stupid, deaf creators should fear my presence. I'm your nemesis."Celphas went on and on preaching about himself, and to Ethan, it was quite irritating. Right now, he could only defend because of the position he was in.He defended himself against every attack from Celphas, be it magical or something else.'If I'm still in this position, this bastard won't waste time and kill me,' Ethan pondered.But at that moment, the system beeped, and he heard a voice. This time, it wasn't the normal mechanical voice he had always been hearing.This voice wasn't that loud, but it was masculine, and the speaker seemed to hold a lot of authority by the way he spoke. It was calm and it still sent chills.["Boy oh boy, the demons sent a puppet, this one is quite noisy..."]
