2022-12-18 18:07:08Olivia's statement left Ethan speechless. He gazed at her, seeing a cheerful yet determined face.
She spoke again, her voice heavy with sorrow. "My father was killed in the last meteor strike. That's why I'm determined to fight. I have every reason to fight."
She smiled at Ethan, but he could sense the sadness beneath it. He couldn't help but wonder what it would be like if he were in her place.
He then looked out of the window towards the setting sun. They didn't know how many days they would survive and whether it would all end today. And not knowing where the monsters will attack from makes it even harder for them to defend against them.
"Sign a contract with Olivia." He muttered.
Olivia looked confused by his words. She turned around to see that his eyes were closed as though sleeping. She stared at him for a while before approaching him, shaking him gently. He opened his eyes and gave her a look of surprise.
[Secure bond with Player Olivia Lvl. 2 has been accepted.]
[The contract has been made.]
[Olivia Lvl. 2 is now bound.]
The message was displayed on the screen. It took several seconds for Ethan to understand what had happened. In a split second, he understood that he had formed a relationship with another person, who had now become part of himself - no longer separate from himself. But this wasn't what he thought he had agreed to; this was far beyond anything he had ever imagined. This felt different than making friends or forming relationships online through games. As it sunk in further, he realized this was an extremely valuable opportunity, and he needed to be careful.
"How does it feel, Olivia?" asked Ethan cautiously. "Are you happy?"
"What?" she asked.
"I mean, are you pleased? Are you feeling relieved?"
Olivia frowned. "I can finally stop running away from everyone else. I'm going to go out there into battle." She said proudly. Her face became bright red at the end of her sentence when she realized what she had just revealed to him about herself.
Ethan noticed her cheeks were turning red, but the warmth and kindness emanating from her helped calm her down.
"Is that true?" he whispered.
It felt like he had entered another dimension that he did not expect or understand. What was happening? How could he make such a decision? It seemed that his thoughts would never match those of this girl before his eyes - what had she been through, and what was she planning on doing with him?
He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, struggling to process what had just happened.
With little time remaining, Ethan had to train and prepare for his upcoming battle. Before he could do this, however, he felt he needed to do something else. The previous fight had been difficult, and he didn't want Olivia to be in danger yet since she was in level 2 yet.
He wanted to show his appreciation for her help.
Ethan opened the Shop feature and searched for something that would help lighten his load. The system sold accessories that increased the user's potential in battle and even saved the user's life. After looking through the many available items, he found one he wanted and had enough Crystals to buy it.
[Necklace of Protection has been purchased for 2 Indigo Grade Crystals and 1 Blue Grade Crystal.]
[Necklace of Protection]
[Skill (Passive): Nullify one fatal attack. CD: 6 Hours]
Ethan bought a silver necklace with a blue crystal stone for Olivia. Although the price was a bit steep for him, he felt it was the least he could do for her, considering what she had done.
He eagerly presented the necklace to Olivia, saying, “It looks nice, but I don't need it. This is the least I can do to thank you for saving my life.”
Olivia's heart skipped a beat as she received the Necklace Ethan gave her, then she checked the information on it and was even more shocked. This item had a special effect that would save the user's life every six hours when a life-threatening attack occurred. It was not something that could be easily obtained.
Olivia couldn't accept it, so she trembled as she handed back the necklace to Ethan. She wasn't the type to take advantage of people, and she had saved him because she wanted to, expecting nothing in return.
Ethan saw Olivia handing the necklace back to him. He wondered if she wanted him to help her put it on, so he reluctantly took it back and stood up.
He walked to the back of the chair where Olivia was sitting and said, "Sorry, I've never put a necklace on before. Could you help me lift your hair for a second?"
Olivia was silent. Seeing what he was doing, she intended to return the necklace, but Ethan instead tried to help her put it on.
She was about to say no, but she held it back, thinking that it might be a good idea. She felt like she was in a dream.
She froze, embarrassed and wanting to scream but trying her best to hold it back. Feeling weak, she slowly lifted her hair to let him put the necklace on.
As soon as he touched the necklace, she heard a soft chime sound.
"There you go!"
Olivia's eyes widened. The cold metal woke her from her reverie when he finished. She touched the pendant on her chest: it was very beautiful, and she liked it.
"Thank you very much." She said softly.
Ethan sat back in his chair and looked at the sparkly necklace on Olivia's white and smooth neck.
"With this, you can be sure that no dangerous attacks will happen. It looks great on you."
Olivia went red in the face and averted her gaze, not saying a word.
Ethan felt uncomfortable in his clothes, which were too big, and thought of buying something from the shop.
[Normal Dark Blue Shirt has been purchased for 5 Purple Grade Crystals]
[Normal Black Shorts has been purchased for 5 Purple Grade Crystals]
[Normal Dark Blue Shirt]
[Something that won't easily get destroyed.]
[Durability: 50/50]
He decided to buy clothes from the Shop; they would be durable and not easily torn apart unless their Durability had been used up.
Ethan believed that Olivia would appreciate the necklace more than he would. He offered it to her, and she was delighted. Knowing this, he was confident that she would not object if he gave her something else.
"This clothing is durable and useful for us in battle," Ethan said. "Would you like me to buy something similar for you? I don't know what you'd like, so would you like to pick it out yourself?"
Olivia was quiet, her thoughts a jumble as she touched the necklace around her neck. Finally, she replied, "Yes."
Ethan didn't understand Olivia's answer, so he tried to choose clothes that he thought she might like.
He chose a black, sleeveless dress with a short flared skirt since Olivia was wearing black. He had enough money to buy 10 Purple Grade Crystals and 2 Indigo Grade Crystals.
“I hope this is something you like," he said. "I don't know your taste very well, and there weren't many choices I could get with what I had.”
Olivia snapped out of her daydream when Ethan gave her the gift. She ran her fingertips along the fabric, which was so soft and smooth. She had the urge to put it on immediately.
The color looked great on her pale skin, making her look elegant while also being warm and cozy at the same time. The dress wasn't too revealing either; it came down to about mid-thigh. It felt silky to the touch but surprisingly sturdy. She felt drawn into its beauty as soon as she held it in front of her face.
Her face turned even redder than before when she heard his words. She hadn't expected him to buy anything for her, let alone something this expensive. She wanted to refuse the clothes, thinking that he should have given them to someone else. However, she couldn't deny that he was helping her in some way, and he had made her feel more confident about the fight.
"T- tha-anks... I'm going to take a bath now," Olivia announced suddenly. Her mind was spinning again. If only I could think properly... she thought as she quickly left the room without saying another word to Ethan.
She kept repeating to herself, "I have to go! I have to go! I have to go!" She was unsure of what to say.

They were both back in the living room a few minutes later, sitting on the same sofa. They stayed silent for a few minutes. Olivia had taken a shower and was wearing a white dress and blue skirt. The sweet smell of her perfume filled Ethan's nose. Her blonde hair, soft and shiny, caught the light in an elegant way. He smiled and looked at her with affection. "What was the result of the last attack? And what happened to the people after I slept for two days?" he asked. Olivia looked at him blankly and tried to answer, but nothing came out. In fact, she didn't understand what she had to tell him about all this either. Instead, she focused on watching his face, looking at every detail. She stared at his beautiful eyes, then moved to look at his long eyelashes. He had very nice eyebrows too, which helped create his perfect face. His lips seemed like the most amazing part of his features to her. The same could be said for the rest of his body, which was incredibly well-formed and handsome

"Fang is a good name for this spirit beast." Ethan replied. [The Mutant Wolf was given a new name - Fang - and Evolution is to be Processed.] Fang's body began to condense from a puff of black and blue smoke, becoming fleshy and retaining energy that seemed to burn like fire.

He stepped closer to Fang and tenderly stroked its fur. Olivia was observing him, cautiously approached, and stood behind him, peeking at Fang from a distance. "It’s harmless," Ethan said with a smile. "Why don't you try touching it?" She slowly approached Fang, who was almost the same

Ethan was in the main room of Olivia's house an hour before the next attack, lying on the large and comfortable sofa to restore his energy and willpower. Suddenly, he heard Olivia's gentle voice caressing his ears, and he opened his eyes to find her. She said, "Hi, Oppa. I am ready." Olivia approached Ethan, smiling, and spun about once, showing off her new look. She was wearing the black dress he had given her, knee-high stockings, black high heels, and cloth wristbands, and this time her hair was loose, filling the air with its sweet scent. Lowering her head to meet Ethan's gaze, Olivia's sharp eyes locked with his, her smile making his heart skip a beat. Her scent forced its way into his nostrils, momentarily suspending the tension he had been feeling. "Hi, you look gorgeous in this outfit," he said. "Oppa, don't surprise me with compliments like that. You're making my heart race!" Olivia blushed. "Sit down, let's discuss our plans for tonight." He said. Olivia complied and

Several Fireballs fell from the sky, causing Ethan to jump and quickly run away. He threw Olivia’s body to Fang and instructed her to leave. As he ran, he realized the attack was meant for him. He then saw a large Fireball with a figure inside, clenching a fist filled with immense flames and throwing it toward him. He was unable to dodge it and received the attack with both hands. The force was too strong and sent Ethan flying—losing his balance. He fell to the ground in an unprepared position. [Ethan Lvl 13] [HP: 420/600] Ethan stared up at the sky, watching as he floated above. The man's power was incredible, and Ethan felt a wave of respect and admiration wash over him as he watched him effortlessly hurl a fireball from his hand. It sailed through the air, exploding in a brilliant display of light and heat as it hit its target, a pile of rubble in the ruins of the city. Finally, the man descended to the ground, and Ethan's heart leaped in hope. He lunged forward and manage
Harem: The Wrath of Mjolnir Chapter 24 - Everyone’s Hero
A soccer stadium, with a giant dome covering its interior, served as a shelter for tens of thousands of people. Some had come to the stadium in anticipation of the next attack, while others had been displaced from their homes due to the meteor and first strike. The stadium was full to capacity, and people were excited, waiting for the upcoming attack. A huge screen appeared in the sky, allowing those gathered at the stadium to watch the live broadcast of the players' preparations and the battle that was to follow. The atmosphere was silent and solemn as people from all directions silently prayed that there would be few casualties in the attack and that the monster would be vanquished quickly. Finally, someone in the middle of the stadium, standing on a suspended stage, broke the silence with his voice, followed by a chorus of screams. "Let's give support and prayers to the heroes who will fight for the safety of mankind tonight!" The man exclaimed. "Wow!" The stadium erupted in
Harem: The Wrath of Mjolnir Chapter 25 - The Fire was Rekindled
Angeman soared through the sky, his silhouette ominously illuminated by the helicopter's searchlight. The stadium was filled with onlookers gazing up at the giant screen that projected Angeman's image. "Ten seconds until the attack!" he declared, his voice booming across the night air. He spun around, his face illuminated with sinister pleasure, and he winked an eye at the camera. "Watch closely. You don't want to miss a thing!" The camera lingered on the buildings in the city, ready to capture any second of the impending monster attack. Angeman floated ready, gripping his spear, prepared to rush into battle at the first sign of the enemy. As the hour of the attack arrived, he still searched the ground for any sign of the monsters, but none appeared. 'What's going on?' Angeman thought. 'Have the monsters been scared off, or is something else at play here?' Then, with a proud and confident smile, Angeman raised his head to address the camera, only to be cut short as a sharp object s
Harem: The Wrath of Mjolnir Chapter 26 - The Princess in The Night
Olivia held Fang tightly as it jumped from the top of the building, zig-zagging its way down to the ground. As they descended, the tension that she felt slowly began to fade away as she felt in awe of Fang's speed and agility. Fang stood, its body crouched and ready to attack. Olivia's radar began to detect dozens, if not hundreds, of orange dots—monsters—in the sky and on the ground. “Oppa, get ready!” she yelled, “There are two types of monsters. Dozens of those flying are moving towards your position and others are running on the ground.” A dark, foreboding atmosphere filled the air as the monsters began to take shape. Olivia knew that they were in for a fight. "Okay Olivia!" Ethan replied from an earphone stuck to Olivia's ear. The dark, dead city seemed to be alive with the eerie screams of dozens of long, thin bat-headed monsters. They crawled fast and wildly toward Olivia and Fang, drooling from their mouths. Olivia raised the golf club in her hand and braced herself for

It was almost dark when Ethan and Olivia arrived at the doorstep of Olivia's large house.After getting off Fang's back, Ethan held out his hand. Olivia immediately took it with a big smile."Oppa should be more careful," said Olivia suddenly.Ethan looked at the girl and raised an eyebrow. "Careful for what?"Olivia chuckled and then punched Ethan lightly in the upper arm."Don't carelessly treat a girl like this; they might misunderstand and make my rivals multiply."Ethan realized that his hands were still clasped with Olivia's and felt his face start to heat up.Olivia's right. He didn't realize he was doing this. Even though Olivia herself has often fought alongside Fang, the matter of getting off the wolf's back was not a difficult one for him.Ethan was about to let go of their grip, but Olivia moved faster, wrapping her arms around Ethan's arm. He smiled broadly as he rested his head on her shoulder."Phew, dealing with annoying people is quite tiring, huh," grumbled Olivia. "

Elora urgently called out to Ethan, "Ethan, there's an emergency! You need to watch the news right away!"Ethan furrowed his brows as he hastily retrieved his cell phone from his trouser pocket, per Elora's instructions. As he opened a news portal, his eyes widened in shock at the trending topics.When Ethan stumbled upon a photo that had been uploaded to the internet, he was astonished to see a group of people with animal-like features. Everyone in the image had been transformed into a variety of creatures, from tigers and lions to snakes and reptiles. But what truly surprised Ethan was the background of the picture, a luxurious and grandiose house with which he would soon become very familiar.Olivia's house."Beastmasters!" Ethan exclaimed, clenching his fist. "They really know no boundaries," he added.Ethan then clicked on one of the top videos in the search results. He saw a male reporter, surrounded by a large group of Beastmaster Guild members, standing in front of the camera.
Chapter 80 State of Emergency
After learning that the person looking for Ethan was Teddy, Olivia decided to wait outside while Ethan followed where the military man took him. On the highest floor, two wooden doors opened when Ethan was right in front of them. The military man accompanying him invited Ethan to enter. Inside, there was a room with a sofa and a glass table in the middle, as well as a few tables with chairs and a computer set on the other side. "Hello, Ethan. Please, come and sit down." Ethan walked over and sat across from Teddy. In this late stage, he was still wearing his usual military uniform. "Does everyone from the military work 24 hours?" he asked. "Or is it just because of the emergency they're in right now?" "You don't normally go out and come to a place like this. Hey, where is Olivia?" Teddy started the conversation when Ethan was actually sitting across from him. "I have something to take care of." "Is it related to Emily?" "Emily?" The red-haired girl was named Emi, just as oth

"I can control the speed at which the vines grow," he said, trying to explain what kind of power he had. Ethan nodded his head in response to the boy's answer. As he had expected, Dony was the same person who had attacked him before. "If it's the same person, is he just pretending he doesn't remember what happened?" Ethan tried to hide his curiosity. He would try other ways to get information out of the boy. One of the five, a silver-haired girl about Dony's age, seemed to have telepathic abilities and was acutely aware of what was happening. If he managed to find the girl, Ethan could find out who his opponent was. "That's quite an interesting power, Dony," said the person. "Can you use it to immobilize your opponents?" Dony nodded in response. "Sorry, Ethan. I have something I need to do. Meet me at the checkpoint if there's anything you need." The military man, still standing with them, lowered his head and departed. "Okay," Olivia gave a thumbs up in response to the man. E
Chapter 78 - A Reoccurring Fate
As Ethan and Olivia drew nearer to the entrance gate, they noticed a man in military attire waving his hand to greet them. The place they were heading to was a large domed building with multiple floors and rooms, and a great hall at its center. It had become a refuge for victims of monster attacks, with several members of the military stationed to guard the area.The military man greeted Ethan, saying, "Hi, Ethan. I was in the final raid with you a few days ago."Lowering his head, Ethan replied, "I got permission from Teddy to come inside."Turning to Olivia, who was standing by Ethan's side, and still holding his hand, the man said cheerfully, "Hey, Olivia. Goddess Olivia."However, Olivia did not respond and clicked her tongue. "Don't do something foolish in my presence," she warned.“Sorry, hehe.” The military man smiled and turned to Nathan. "Sure, sure," he said. "We've received orders. Come on, let me guide you. And don't hesitate to let me know if there's anything you need."O
Chapter 77 - Smiling Again
The following days after the altercation with the Beastmaster went by relatively peacefully. No episodes of violence occurred, neither during the day nor at night. Despite this, Ethan and Olivia stayed vigilant, particularly in the evenings, with the assistance of Fang, who kept an eye on Olivia's abode continually.A circular portal manifested in the sky once more, but this time, instead of just one, there were dozens. Consequently, the military and a few major Guilds distributed their forces evenly to prepare for any eventuality. Ethan slumped onto the large sofa in Olivia's living room, determined to carry out the same watch schedule he had been doing the past few nights. Initially, it was difficult to adjust to sleeping during the day, but eventually, he adjusted to his new routine.Olivia strolled up, wearing her pajamas and carrying a sundae in her hand. She plopped down and rested her head on Ethan's shoulder.“Olivia,” Ethan uttered.“Huum?” she replied in a relaxed tone as s
Chapter 76 - An Unexpected Twist
Ethan reclined on a large rock, which was partially submerged on the edge of the lake. The cacophony of insects chirping, buzzing, and screaming at each other filled the air. The wind that blew from the surface of the lake brought with it the sweet fragrance of freshness, quickly filling him with a sense of peacefulness and tranquility.The sound of water splashing against the lake's surface echoed through the night air. After a few moments, Olivia took the plunge and submerged herself in the tranquil waters of the lake, which were illuminated by the shimmering moonlight. Meanwhile, Ethan remained vigilant, calling on Fang to keep a watchful eye by surveying the surrounding area."Ethan Oppa…"A few drops of icy water splashed against Ethan's cheeks, quickly evaporating in the chilly wind. Suddenly, Ethan was jolted from his thoughts by the sound of Olivia's voice, much softer than usual."Oppa..." she repeated, her tone less cheerful than usual. "Are you alright?" he said.Maybe thi
Chapter 75 - Fading of Joy
The Beastmaster members were resolute in their determination; they refused to give up until their goal was reached. Despite the fact that their target was only two people, they had assembled a large crowd. Olivia had reached her limit. Another fight he fought would completely put his life in danger. Meanwhile, Ethan was sure that they would not back down in the slightest after learning that two of their comrades had also lost their lives at Olivia's hands. "Olivia, can you go save yourself?" Ethan attempted to whisper to Olivia, who was kneeling behind him, having just engaged in a fierce battle with three opponents. He was proud of the fact that she had managed to survive thus far on her own; however, despite his trust in Olivia, he recognized the limits of what one person could accomplish, especially considering Olivia had exhausted much of her strength while taking down two adversaries at once. Olivia drew newfound power from her most recent conflict. Ethan believed that was amp
