"You jerk! Do you want to die? If I don't beat you up today, don't call me an athlete!"
After shouting like that, one by one of them then increased their running speed.
Seeing what Darrin was doing, the students inside the classroom screamed.
"Fool! Does he dare to overtake them? He must have lost his mind!"
"He's about to be embarrassed by them!"
These students were actually a bit surprised because not only did Darrin not faint after running more than half of the field, the young man even dared to overtake the athletes, showing that he had much stronger stamina than they had estimated.
"Why are you all so panicked like that?"
One of the tallest students shouted.
"He's a delivery guy! Of course, he has a little energy! But look, I bet he won't be able to outrun the athletes!"
On the other hand, seeing the athletes starting to get excited, Darrin wasn't intimidated. Instead, he smiled happily.
"Good! Use all your energy and chase me!"
Darrin turned his body forward to run normally.
However, it didn't take long for these athletes to catch up with him.
Now the distance between them was only two meters.
"Look! Wasn't I right?" The tallest student shouted with joy seeing the athletes closing in on Darrin.
"That jerk is going to lose! You'll see!"
The athletes ran even faster so that the distance between them was less than one meter from Darrin.
"Hey, fool! Keep running! Because if you stop, maybe this will be the last day you can move your legs! Hahaha!"
They laughed very loudly as if they were competing for a moving trophy in front of them.
Darrin didn't say anything. He just remained silent while continuing to run.
"Hey, why are you silent? Don't tell me you're starting to feel like peeing in your pants? Hahaha!"
Still, Darrin said nothing.
"It seems like he's very scared!" The young man in the red shirt, who seemed to be the leader of the athletes, then spoke up. "No need to waste any more time! Let's just catch him!"
While stretching their arms forward, they also quickened their pace to catch Darrin.
However, unbeknownst to them, Darrin showed a cunning smile on his lips. "It seems I can't rely on them!"
Before their hands could touch Darrin's shirt, the young man increased his speed, causing their hands to keep reaching without touching him.
In the next two rounds, they continued to reach out their hands forward without being able to touch Darrin's shirt.
"Hey, why is this jerk so hard to catch?"
After that, in the next three rounds, the same thing still happened.
"Darn! I'm starting to run out of breath!"
Then in the ninth round, one by one of these athletes began to think about giving up.
"Why do I feel like I no longer have any energy left to chase him?"
One of the athletes then stopped.
Seeing one of their friends stop, almost all of the athletes also stopped in the end.
They were marathon athletes who relied more on stamina in running, not speed.
When they had to compete in sprints, or compete in speed, they might be able to run very fast. But that would only last for a maximum of ten rounds.
More than that, it was another matter.
Only the young man in the red shirt was now still chasing Darrin.
"Hehehe! It seems you are the strongest among them! Come on, try to catch me if you can!"
The young man in the red shirt continued to persist even though large beads of sweat began to flood his face and entire body. His breath also started to become irregular.
When Darrin passed through the route where the other athletes stopped, they tried to catch him by blocking his path.
However, even though they tried to catch him together, Darrin could still slip away from their grasp. And, of course, with ease!
In fact, even up to now, Darrin had only exerted half of his energy.
Not only did he not experience being out of breath, he also didn't feel tired at all.
"This system really gave me a new body! Even if I have to deliver packages by running, I won't get tired at all!"
Not only did he complete ten laps as Denzel ordered, Darrin even did more than twenty laps.Nevertheless, his body still looked very fresh. And only a little sweat came out from his forehead, as if Darrin didn't do any strenuous activity."Next time, you should first see who the person you want to challenge is!"Darrin said those words while showing a mocking smile on his face.Meanwhile, the athletes who looked really exhausted just stared at Darrin with annoyed looks. "Just watch out! We won't forget you!"Of course, what Darrin did left the students in the classroom speechless."Is that true? Not only did he manage to circle the field more than ten times! He was even faster than the athletes and beat them!"They just remained silent while continuing to open their mouths wide.Because the students suddenly became silent, it actually made Emily worried."Why are they silent? Is something happening to Darrin?"With such worry, the girl couldn't sit in her seat any longer.She immediat
"They're really out of line!"Darrin couldn't understand how they came to hate him so much.In the past, if any of them bothered him or teased him, he wouldn't dare to confront them. All he thought about back then was to avoid getting into any trouble with them.Not because of anything. But Darrin had to work after finishing classes. He preferred to conserve his energy for work rather than dealing with them.However, now, with his physical condition much improved, he became aware of how outrageous their attitude and actions towards him had been. He couldn't let them continue to be despotic toward him, or they would continue to oppress him.Nevertheless, for now, he still hadn't thought of any plans to retaliate against them.He just wanted to meet Emily to inquire about her condition.Darrin waited until the lecture was over.When he saw Emily coming out of the classroom, he chose to follow the girl. He didn't speak directly in front of the class because he didn't want his classmates
Darrin did indeed get hit by that punch. However, he was surprised by himself."Is this for real? Why don't I feel any pain at all?"Not only did Darrin's body not collapse backward, Max's punch only made his face move slightly to the side."Max, stop! Enough of that! You don't need to do that again!"Emily immediately grabbed Max's arm and pulled him as hard as she could away from Darrin.Seeing what the girl did to Max, a slight feeling of dislike arose in Darrin's heart.Moreover, although Max's punch didn't affect him, it still made Darrin angry.Darrin immediately approached Max and grabbed his neck with one hand.At this moment, with just one hand, Darrin was able to lift Max's body. Even though the rich young man weighed more than eighty kilograms."You want to solve everything with violence, right? Okay! I'll follow what you want!"What Darrin showed made Max unable to say anything. Apart from trying to release Darrin's grip on his neck, he didn't say a word.A young man who a
Two hours later, in one of the rooms at the Starlight Express branch office. This is a package and mail delivery place where Darrin has been working part-time for the past three and a half years. During that period, he had never made any fatal mistakes or caused delays in delivering packages to clients. Three and a half years might be a long time for someone. However, it didn't seem so for Bruce Barnard, a manager who was the head of that branch office. "There's nothing I can do for you, Darrin! You've been negligent, and you have to accept the consequences!" Bruce, sitting in a large chair in his office, leaned his head back and lazily stared at Darrin, as if his presence wasn't important. On the table in front of him, he had just tossed a letter with an envelope stamped in red. Darrin didn't need to open the envelope to know its contents. Clearly, it was a termination letter! "You didn't show up for a week without notice! You, as a part-time employee, dare to skip work witho
On the other hand, Darrin sighed deeply as he exited the Starlight Express branch office.He lost his scholarship, and now he lost his job. What made him even sadder was that he seemed to be losing Emily as well! Darrin entered a narrow alley where there was nothing on his right and left except for fences. He could have taken the main road. However, through this alley, he would get to the university dorm where he lived faster. He didn't want to deal with his scholarship anymore because he knew that the university's rector was very close to the Bennett family. If he were to face the rector, he knew what the outcome would be. As for Emily... As he was thinking about the girl, he saw a group of men in black shirts ahead of him. Since this alley could only be passed by a maximum of four people walking side by side, Darrin couldn't see exactly how many they were. In his estimation, it was about ten people or fewer. They were tall and muscular. Not only that, each of them carried
In the beginning, Darrin was afraid of fighting because he had never fought before.Now, as he was able to face them easily, excitement arose in his heart. Even though the men held bats and chains in their hands, Darrin managed to evade their attacks."Hey, what are you guys doing?"The man holding the knife shouted to his subordinates."Don't waste time and finish him off!"As if understanding what their boss meant, they no longer attacked individually as they had been doing.The man with the baseball bat gave a nod to the man with the chain.In the next moment, the man with the bat swung it again towards Darrin's face.Woosh!Darrin managed to avoid the attack.However, at that moment, two other men immediately grabbed each of his arms."Hold him tightly! Don't let him escape!"Not only that, the man with the chain then looped it around Darrin's neck and held it tightly."I admit you not only have courage, kid!"The man holding the knife looked at Darrin, grinning cunningly. "You al
Darrin did it, intentionally injuring their legs, not without purpose.He had often heard of crimes committed by gangs before. However, it was only today that he experienced it himself.Darrin wanted these people to stop their crimes and not repeat them again."Next time I see you committing the same crime, it will be more than just your legs that I'll destroy!"Meanwhile, elsewhere.Smash!The sound of a bottle being smashed on the floor echoed."You useless bunch! You can't even handle a young man like him? Then what's the point of me paying you?"Max stared blankly at the gangster boss."I'm sorry, Young Master! Once again, forgive me!"After throwing the bottle near the feet of the man, Max could have taken even more terrible actions than that."Leave now or I'll gouge your eyes out!"The man didn't dare to contradict Max's words.Of course, he didn't want to linger any longer in the presidential suite occupied by Max.After bowing his body several times, he turned around and was
A card suddenly appeared in Darrin's hand.He raised his hand to examine the appearance of the card.It was a rectangular object, dark black in color, with sparkling gemstones at each corner, shining brightly with vivid colors."Diamond King Card?"Darrin had no clue about the object in his hand.Since childhood, living in the village, he always transacted with cash.Even when he moved to Starlight three and a half years ago until today, he still used cash, including when he received his monthly salary from Bruce.Even if he used a card for payment, it was very different from the card he had in his hand.Darrin didn't know how much money was inside it. At least one of his problems was solved now.He could get food for tomorrow. As for how to use the card, he could think about it later because his eyes were starting to feel sleepy.At 6:00 a.m. the next day.Darrin woke up an hour earlier than the alarm he set for seven o'clock.When he looked at the bed across from him, he still didn'
Darrin nodded. "I understand, my queen."The way Darrin answered made Helena blush again. She was now confident that she could give the item to him.Once the earring was in his hand, Darrin removed the green gem that was its pendant and attached it to his Moreau necklace.Green and red light emanated from the necklaces, reaching as far as the clouds and piercing them.At that moment, a light appeared from behind the clouds. Moments later, a female figure, adorned in gold from head to toe, smiled at him. Darrin immediately knelt down, for the woman's features indicated that she was the Moon Goddess Fenrisar had described."Since you have completed your first trial, accept this as your reward." The goddess raised the golden staff in her hand, and a golden ray descended to the earth and merged with Darrin's body.The goddess then vanished. But Darrin felt something strange happening to his body.He raised his hand and saw it transform into water, fire, earth, air, and all the elements of
"Why? Why are you doing this? No!"Splash!Darrin's scream faded as his body fell into the water. But the scream continued to echo in his heart even as his body began to sink to the bottom of the lake."Why did you sacrifice yourself for me? Why didn't you let me do it for you?"Darrin felt completely devastated. Not only because he had failed to protect the princess, but also because he had failed to protect his other loved ones before."Why does everyone close to me have to suffer such a tragic fate? Why can't I protect them?"The regret and grief grew stronger in his heart as his body sank deeper into the lake.At the same time, he felt his chest tighten and it became difficult to breathe. It seemed that Helena's plan to save Darrin would end in failure, as the young man's weakened body made it impossible for him to use any internal energy or technique to help him breathe.Darrin understood this, and it only deepened his regret."If only you had gone into the lake instead, perhaps
"Greetings to you, Mother!" The Dark Knight could not contain the joy in his heart as he saw the young woman rise from the ground and look in his direction. "I-I know you may not have expected us to rouse you from your slumber. But..."The Dark Knight did not hesitate to reveal his intentions to the young woman who was, after all, his biological mother. "We've been going through a lot of trouble lately, and we need your help."The Dark Knight continued to pour his heart out. Although it had been a long time since he had last spoken to his mother, he was not embarrassed to say anything."Mother, there's one more thing I want to ask you. It's about the position of Prime Minister in the kingdom. Since I'm the one who woke you up, would you be willing to give me that position?"All this time, the Dark Knight had seemed obedient to Theobaldus, or even to his nephew Nicolaus. Yet deep in his heart, he held a grudge against them."But I hope you don't misunderstand. I don't want the title. I
Spurt!At the edge of the lake, Darrin vomited large amounts of water from his mouth after Helena had pumped his chest several times. After that, it was clear that Darrin was gasping for air, as if he had run out of oxygen. But he still couldn't open his eyes."Darrin, wake up!""Wake up, Darrin!"He faintly heard a soft and melodious voice in his ear. At the same time, a gentle hand stroked his cheek.When Darrin finally managed to open his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure sitting right in front of him."Your Highness..."Helena was no longer wearing the leather mask that had sunk to the bottom of the lake. With her hair and clothes still wet, she looked exceptionally beautiful."Thank goodness you're awake!" Helena couldn't hide the happiness on her face as she saw the young man begin to open his eyes. Darrin might not be able to see it, but the feelings in the princess's heart for him had grown much deeper and stronger than before.Earlier, when Helena had seen Nicolaus about to hit
When Hector left Arcadia, he probably never imagined that his plans would change so quickly. Originally, he intended to take the vial, give it to Darrin and leave. Unexpectedly, he lost Darrin sooner than he expected.And after seeing the cold form of Queen Marielle lying in the coffin, it was as if he could see the end of the world through her. This sight only strengthened his resolve."All right, one more time!" Hector had made up his mind to destroy the vial. No matter what he had to do, no matter how great the sacrifice, he would do it.Catching his breath and releasing his right hand that had been held by his left, Hector tried to rise from his sitting position, preparing for the next attack."Don't even think about trying that again, because I won't just stand by!" Nicolaus pointed his finger at Hector's face from the other end. Apparently, he was not ready to give up so easily either. "I will destroy you, or vice versa!"Both men had suffered severe injuries to their right hand
The incident threw the top of the tower into chaos. The mages immediately rushed to the stairs and descended hastily. Meanwhile, the soldiers below stood on alert. They did not approach the top of the tower, nor did they dare do so without Nicolaus' orders. But they were ready at a moment's notice."Darrin!" Hector shouted, clenching both fists. He knew how devastating the strike of a cultivator at the peak of the King level could be when unleashed at full power. As he had just witnessed.On the other side, as if Hector's presence meant nothing to him, Nicolaus rose from his kneeling position, clutching the vial in his hand. His face was dark and expressionless. As he moved toward the coffin, he himself opened the grandmother's mouth."Nicolaus, I beg you, at least listen to my explanation!" Hector fought to control his anger, trying to speak to the ruler of Green Island with a cool head. "I don't want to force you to change your mind, but please listen to me."Nicolaus lifted his eye
Nicolaus asked gently, a smile on his face. His demeanor naturally made Helena feel a little more at ease, allowing her to speak her heart without fear."Yes, Your Majesty. I am very worried that he won't be able to cure them without this medicine. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you could spare a little for him."Helena spoke with bright eyes, as if she was doing something very important for herself. But at that moment, her face suddenly tensed. "Oh no, what did I just say?" she thought to herself. "I made a huge mistake!"And just as she had feared, Nicolaus' face turned red. Extremely red."My God, what will happen now?" As she thought this, Helena could see the change in the king's expression. It was clear that he was suppressing his anger."So it's true what I thought," Nicolaus said in a trembling and frightened tone. "The one in your heart is that bastard, not me! So why did you deceive me with your sweet words?"When Helena accepted Nicolaus' proposal and agreed to marr
Nicolaus said nothing but lowered his head."Nico, tell me, is this girl the one you're looking for?" Theobaldus shouted, anger and frustration evident in his voice.On the one hand, they had lost the potion, and the position of the full moon in the sky had shifted. Even if they found the potion and revived the queen, it would still be a grave sin for them.On the other hand, he was furious with his nephew for being so blinded by love."You sacrificed the future of the kingdom for a girl? Since when did you become so weak?"His anger made him forget the rule of not speaking ill of anyone in this sacred place."Tell me, are you...""Yes, I am looking for her, uncle. I really am," Nicolaus shouted back.He hated himself for being weak because of his feelings for the girl. But deep in his heart he believed that Helena was really there."I didn't just hear her voice. I could smell her scent. I'm sure it's the same scent I smelled this morning!""What?"Suddenly, Theobaldus jumped. Not bec
The chanting of the mages grew louder as the full moon crept a few degrees from its perfect alignment above the tower. They continued to recite a birthing spell, hoping for the best in the queen's resurrection.After nearly half an hour, the mages suddenly shouted in unison, "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will bless us forever!"Their chant echoed throughout the island. A second later, Nicolaus, Theobaldus, and all the soldiers guarding the area shouted the same mantra. "Queen Marielle is heaven, and she will always bless us!"When the echo of the voices died down, the moon was directly above the tower, illuminating the face and body of Queen Marielle as she lay in the glass coffin.Nicolaus and Theobaldus rose from their positions on the floor and approached the coffin."Greetings to you, Mother. Queen, ruler of the universe, and grace to the world." As he spoke, Theobaldus kissed the queen on the cheek.At that moment, there was a stark contrast between Queen Marielle and Theoba
