“Olivia!!” Ethan screamed Olivia's name as he leaped forward, a large hammer appearing in his hand. His eyes darkened with anger, and his heart filled with rage. He attempted to hit the monster with the hammer, but the creature was faster than he had anticipated. It extended its long claws, ready to greet him.Ethan was in a close combat situation with no time to spare. He had to act quickly. He decided to throw his hammer from a distance instead. "Hammer throw!" he shouted. With a powerful throw, he released the hammer, sending it flying toward his enemy. He watched as it soared through the air and struck its target, delivering a crushing blow.The Mjolnir flew with tremendous force toward the monster's body. On impact, it only left a small, superficial wound on its skin before landing back on the ground. Ethan, frustrated, looked up into the sky and roared with rage. He knew he had to find a way to defeat the monster.Ethan quickly realized that the monster could regenerate and
[Ethan Lv. 15] [HP: 170/800] [Bloodsucker Fighter (General) Lv. 31] [HP: 2,300/15,000] Ethan quickly dropped the Mjolnir and leaped backward, narrowly avoiding the monster's wild punches. The creature was moving faster this time, but its punches were not as precise as before. “Hammer blink!” Ethan quickly activated his Mjolnir ability as the Mjolnir drew near the monster. With haste, he maneuvered himself behind the monster and raised his hammer, delivering a powerful punch to the monster's thin and tall legs. Ethan delivered a flurry of punches, successfully knocking the monster to the ground. He then pinned the monster's leg to the ground to minimize its mobility. With one final punch, Ethan shattered the bones in its right leg. [Bloodsucker Fighter (General) Lv. 31] [HP: 1,100/15,000] That was a truly hard-fought battle. Ethan had to summon all his concentration and exert all of his efforts to stay afloat and attempt to overpower his adversary. Yet, the giant before him se
[You have achieved an outstanding outcome for the second wave of attack!] [Your performance was remarkable, and it is clear that the hard work you have put in has paid off.] [Congratulations on such a successful accomplishment!] [Monsters Killed: 32] [Calculating the Reward] [You have received 5 Status Points] Ethan opened his eyes slowly, and he saw a line of glowing green lettering in front of him. His vision was filled with the text, and it seemed to be suspended in the air. Ethan had been putting in more effort than usual, yet the reward he received this time seemed to be less than usual. All he got were some Status Points, not the usual new power that he would expect as a reward. Ethan's head still felt dizzy, and he took several deep breaths in an effort to calm himself. Gradually, his full consciousness returned. He felt something moist and soft on his left palm and, after a few moments of confusion, realized that it was Olivia who was asleep and had pressed her chee
Ethan and Olivia continued their conversation in the dining room as Ethan was famished, having slept for most of the day. He proceeded to forage for food in the kitchen, hoping to find something to satisfy his hunger. At Olivia's house, there was an abundance of food, mostly consisting of fast food, canned food, and fruit, that had been stored in the refrigerator for an extended period of time and, consequently, was no longer fresh. After taking a seat in the living room, the two enjoyed a warm cup of coffee while watching news coverage about the recent monster attack events. Olivia scooted close to Ethan, her body swaying side to side in a subtle rhythm that gently brushed against his. Olivia held a glass of steaming hot milk in her hand, periodically taking a sip and humming a tune that Ethan was unfamiliar with. Ethan plopped down on the plush couch, letting out a deep sigh of relief as he realized they had sufficient time until the next attack was due. "Do you have any ideas
Ethan and Olivia had enjoyed a pleasant evening together, sharing jokes and laughter, when Ethan suddenly remarked about how the media was not accurately portraying his condition. Unexpectedly, Olivia stopped talking as the cell phone on the table began to vibrate, and the TV program changed to footage of surveillance cameras being installed in every corner of the house. On the screen, three people with their weapons were seen attempting to surround Fang, who was snarling at them. “Fang!” Ethan jumped to his feet, recognizing that Fang was in potential danger. He wanted to ensure that the other people didn't misinterpret Fang's presence and therefore act aggressively toward him. Olivia grabbed Ethan's hand and asked him to sit down. "Fang won't take action unless those guys provoke it. It doesn't appear that they are here for a positive reason, Oppa," she explained. "I will handle them with caution," Ethan responded. A query, large and looming, filled Ethan's mind as he sensed
[You have killed another Player, but unfortunately, the compatibility level of their ability is too low for you to gain any of their skills, so you receive nothing.] Ethan hastily sprinted to the door after receiving the alert from the system. As he opened the door, he was met with a grim sight: Fang was viciously attacking the man who had just moments ago been threatening him with his machete. The other two were plainly visible to Ethan; one of them had no weapons in their possession, while the other held a long, dark-colored spear. The person who didn't have a weapon rushed in quickly and seemed to be on high alert when Ethan and Olivia arrived. “We come in peace!” the man exclaimed firmly, his face familiar to Ethan, yet he couldn't quite place it. “You were the ones who started this commotion; don't expect me to stay silent after what you've done!” Olivia was quite close to Ethan and could sense the curiosity on his face. She explained, “Bas is a former national soccer player a
Ethan was filled with panic when he saw Olivia's condition. He quickly ran over and checked her shoulder, where he saw a deep stab wound with a sharp object, and the blood was flowing heavily. Not having enough Monster Crystals to buy healing potions for Olivia, Ethan quickly picked up her body and rushed into the house. In a state of panic, Ethan rushed to Olivia's room, which he was able to open easily since Olivia had deliberately not locked it. He placed her on the bed, which caused the blood on her body to seep, staining her sheets. He quickly ran to fetch a towel, attempting to staunch the flow of blood from Olivia's shoulder. Ethan waited for a while until Olivia's bleeding had finally ceased, and he saw her lying there, pale and with a wide, deep gash visible on her shoulder. She was wearing a white t-shirt, which was now saturated with her blood and stained her face and blonde hair. Ethan then took a damp towel and gently cleaned Olivia's face and hands while tidying up he
Olivia displayed the image of the surveillance camera on the television screen, and then a woman was visible standing at the entrance of the home. "Who?" Ethan asked Olivia, his brow furrowing as he tried to figure out the identity of the person in question. Olivia shook her head in response, indicating that she, too, was unaware of the individual's identity. At first glance, the woman appeared to be a teenager with a small face, soft contours, and short black hair. She wore a white, tightly fitted shirt, a black mini-skirt, high heels, and a pair of wide-eyed glasses. Upon closer inspection, it was clear she was in her early-20s. "She doesn't look dangerous," Ethan said. "What do you say we find out why she's here?" Olivia nodded in agreement. "Definitely. A beautiful woman like her can't be dangerous." She giggled. Fang had been on guard for nearly 24 hours, vigilantly patrolling the house. It could be trusted to detect any potential threats that might arrive. This time, howev
