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. "
From the corner of his apartment room, Ethan could hear a panicked tone coming from the TV while someone read the news. "The international organization has reported about a huge alien object moving closer to Earth." Ethan lay idle in his bed, exhausted from his day working hard at the office, oblivious to the news. He closed his eyes and tried to recall what had happened that day. ‘My life is boring,’ he thought, remembering all that he had done in his life. He worked as an employee in a technology company and spent most of his nights playing games. This had been his routine for the past two years of living in the capital. ‘I wonder if I can change my life?’ The newsreader continued, "A strange incident occurred, and all communication media from within the country to abroad were cut off; internet, telephone, and other communication media were only available in limited areas." Yet, the news kept going on, but Ethan didn't notice. ‘What is the meaning of this?’ Opening his eyes, h
The night sky lit up with a brilliant flash as a meteor streaked across the sky. A giant human-shaped rock monster materialized in the aftermath, towering tall as a 10-story building. Illuminated by a flight of helicopters hovering above, its head was unmistakably human-like, with eyes of red crystal that glittered in the light."What is that? It looks like a giant rock monster," one of the reporters asked, pointing at the meteorite-like object.The giant lifted its upper body slowly, followed by a thunderous thud of its other limbs hitting the ground. It seemed almost impossible to discern how the massive being was able to bend its body.The reporter was speechless as he watched the monster move. "It was clear that this meteor wasn't just an inanimate object but a living being that had seemingly come to Earth with an unknown purpose."[Good night, people of Earth!]A loud boom reverberated, startling Ethan. Instantly, he clapped his hands over his ears, and vivid green digital text b
Several people reported about the chosen ones who had suddenly acquired capabilities beyond the scope of ordinary humans. Some footage featured a person sprouting wings from their back before soaring into the sky, which was too realistic to be faked due to the video's quality and swiftness of its circulation online. Ethan cast his gaze toward the TV. "We can verify that everyone is going through a similar experience. According to the anonymous being who warned us, there will be a calamity that will affect the planet." "Random individuals are arbitrarily being given power that might avert the impending peril." "We have been in contact with a person claiming to have received such power…." Ethan stood and arose from the sofa where he had been sitting. He took a brief stroll around the tiny apartment and peered through the window blinds multiple times. He was concerned about his family, he had thought of rescuing them, but it was not a simple decision since he was living far away f
Ethan murmured inquiringly, "User profile?" and a series of translucent green text materialized before him.

His countenance was quickly transformed from one of joy to one of puzzlement. He sauntered to the couch and reclined, attempting to make sense of the data before him. "Video Games! Just like in video games," he exclaimed. In the user profile, there were man
Before departing the room, Ethan attempted to manifest the Hammer Weapon that had been stored in his Inventory. Recognizing this to be a weapon of immense power, thanks to the Mass Killing he was granted, it was given an SSS rank by the System. He concluded that his powers were not to be taken lightly.“Equip Mjolnir!”In response to his words, black energy surged from between his fingers, gradually solidifying into a colossal hammer with a handle of 60cm. The hammer was made of a hard black material decorated with intricate carvings, the material of which he could not identify.[Mjolnir (Growth Type) Level 1][Strength: +5][Physical Attack: +200][Weight: 450][SKILLS][Equip: Instantly Equip Mjolnir from InventoryCasting Time: 1s][Un-equip: Instantly Un-equip Mjolnir into InventoryCasting Time: 1s][Hammer Throw Lvl. 1: Throw Mjolnir into a specific direction and Apply 120% Physical Attack Damage]Details about the name, stats, and skills of the hammer surfaced.

His face, which had been composed beforehand, hardened, and a furrow appeared on his forehead. 'This is bad...' he thought, his heart racing. He then took another deep breath.He opened his phone and checked for public and governmental announcements on upcoming events. On local social media, a highly-regarded post has been released as an important statement from the Government and military. The message read as follows:“The Military, on behalf of the Government, is asking anyone with the potential to save many lives to register their identity. In this way, we can work together to tackle the looming crisis more effectively.” “A mobile application has been created to share informat
Ethan trudged back to the side of the street, where a gridlock had ensued. Everyone was in a state of disarray, desperately trying to access the service road, which only added to the pandemonium. As he stood there, multiple people rushed past him with their bags and other necessities, a group of families with fear-stricken expressions jarring into him, causing him to stumble. "Pardon me," said the father, cradling his daughter, who had been the one to jostle him.He helped Ethan back up, and they quickly fled. Ethan's confidence diminished further, his sense of security completely gone. If he had been pushed down by an ordinary person, how could he possibly face a monster? 'I miss my mundane life.'Ethan pondered the predicament and wished to find other individuals with the same responsibility as him in order to collaborate. Fifteen minutes remained before the onslaught. He ambled about listlessly, aware that a mere few minutes would drastically alter his life. Contrary to his
