Ethan's powerful hammer strike caused the enormous lizard to collapse onto the ground, rolling wildly as it went. Ethan stood firmly, clutching the hammer tightly in his grip. He then leaped forward in pursuit of the fleeing lizard. Ethan was about to swing his hammer when suddenly, another lizard dashed toward him, releasing a powerful stream of flames. Ethan raced to the ground, leaping away from the torrent of flames that pursued him. He dodged and weaved, desperately avoiding contact with the searing heat that could cause instant destruction. "This fire is more powerful than Rohan's," Ethan exclaimed. "The flames seem to be much more intense, and I can see molten lava bubbling up from underneath!" Ethan leaped into the air just in time, narrowly avoiding the two dragons that were jumping toward him in an alternating pattern. "So close!" he shouted as he flew away. “Hammer break!” Ethan tumbled onto the dragon's back and let loose a powerful punch, causing its massive body to
[Dominator (Lvl 20)][Make a Contract: Make a permanent contract with someone. They can't betray you. You and your contracted person will get a 10% Status increase when on the same party.Current slots: 1/2][Moment of Trust: You can borrow all Status of the person you contract for 10 seconds][Power of Friendship: You can regenerate Energy faster the more contracts you make]Ethan gained a new skill when his Dominator reached Level 20. This new skill allowed Ethan to recover his Energy much more quickly, though the exact extent of the recovery was unclear. It also provided him with additional slots for contracts he could take on."Olivia," Ethan said, "I forgot to mention the abilities of the Dominator.” "Hmm?" Olivia responded in a quiet voice."Moments of Trust. That skill lets me borrow your Stat Points for 10 seconds," Ethan explained."I am willing to permit it. You should not be concerned. We have a connection that depends on each other, alright?"Olivia let out a shriek as sh
Olivia tightly gripped Ethan's arm, pulling him higher into the night sky. They were illuminated by both moonlight and fire, with giant dancing flames engulfing the urban buildings below them."Ethan Oppa, are you certain about this decision?" Olivia inquired."We need to act quickly and get rid of the dragon before it causes any more harm," Ethan replied confidently.Olivia could sense a new air of strength radiating from Ethan; it seemed the trials of the past few days had made him even more determined and resilient.“Hmmm,” Olivia nodded.Olivia's body wavered as the gust of wind slightly slowed her flight. She wrapped her arms around Ethan's back and pulled him up close, hoping to spread the pressure between them.The flames that illuminated the night sky were even more intense and wild, almost scorching the city. It was evident that several players were still determined to defeat the Dragon, but their numbers were much fewer than before. It was clear that their strength and energ

The dragon's fire engulfed and flooded him with tremendous force. In spite of that, Ethan still advanced towards the dragon with Mjolnir clenched tightly in both fists.Ethan let out a blood-curdling scream of agony and desperation. His body was wracked with pain as he desperately tried to overcome the greatest challenge of the night."Ethan, Oppa!" Olivia desperately called out as she watched his body engulfed by the massive blaze. She desperately tried to think of a way to save him, desperately flapping her wings faster and faster in a futile attempt to reach him."DIE, YOU BITCH!!" Ethan shouted with rage as he brought down the Mjolni
Iris released her hug from Ethan and lifted her hand, holding a potion bottle. She unscrewed the cap and ran her finger along Ethan's face, smearing the liquid from the bottle across his skin. Iris tenderly ran her little fingers along Ethan's face, neck, and arms, providing a cooling sensation. His wounds began to heal. Olivia remained beside Ethan with her arms crossed, and she asked, "How much longer is this going to take?" Iris stopped her finger movement, then handed the potion bottle to Ethan and lowered her head as she turned to Olivia. "I'll give you a new one." Ethan spoke up, saying. Iris then turned to him and shook her head in response. Teddy, Baron, and several members of the military, along with representatives from the Sword and Shield Guild, had arrived. Despite their tired and battered appearances, they were all beaming with joy. "Thank you, Ethan," Teddy said gratefully. "None of this would have been possible without you." Ethan modestly shook his head in res
Ethan and Olivia sustained injuries that night, but they weren't too serious. Thanks to the healing potions they bought from the System, they were able to recover quickly. They returned to their respective rooms, cleaned up, changed their clothes, and then reconvened in Olivia's living room. Ethan, feeling exhausted and relieved, sank into the inviting comfort of the sofa. The stress that had been coursing through his body began to dissipate and he found himself gradually enveloped in a peaceful serenity. His eyes slowly shut as his body melted into the plush surface of the couch. "Wow...That's really calming," Ethan said as he felt the exhaustion slowly slipping away from his body. He was hoping that this night would be peaceful and restful, as he had had a particularly long night. He had faced dragon attacks and had even been thrown from the sky. Ethan gulped as he realized that he had made it through everything he had gone through. He had even made a new friend, Iris, who had b
Ethan awoke, his eyes slowly fluttering open to find Olivia sitting at the glass table in front of him. She had changed her clothes and looked neat and cute in a blue dress and white blouse, her legs crossed. She smiled and waved at him. "Hi!" she said."Let's go on a date," She added."Huh?" Ethan was surprised, his eyes widening in surprise as his gaze shifted around the dark room.The only illumination came from a few small windows around the edges, which usually only appeared when Olivia had purposefully turned off all the other lights at night before going to sleep. As if to emphasize her point, her house was usually filled with different kinds of lights that would automatically turn on whenever someone entered a room."The government decided to cut off electricity during the day, except for vital places such as hospitals, shopping centers, and other essential public facilities."It had been a few weeks since the meteorite struck, wreaking major changes in people's lives.

Ethan deliberately asked Fang to keep watch outside, knowing that it was futile to attempt to hide their identities any longer.Olivia's devoted followers could easily identify her, as could Ethan's detractors, who could detect her presence even from a distance. The two opposing groups of people constantly attempted to tail them, tracking their movements and voicing their opinions freely.As Ethan and Olivia were enjoying their lunch, a waiter approached and bowed his head respectfully before speaking. "Excuse me, sir," he began, "there is a large wolf standing outside this cafe, blocking other visitors who wish to enter."Ethan kept eating, aware that Olivia was likely to respond to the man more quickly than he would."I'll take care of any losses this cafe incurred," Olivia declared, gesturing with her hand. The maid stepped back, heading to the other waitstaff, who was nervously glancing at Ethan.Several other people in the cafe had been surreptitiously trying to take photos of th
