"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 to bully the girl as well.

Darrin followed Emily until they reached the library door.

"Emily, can I talk to you?"

Emily, who had noticed that she was being followed by Darrin, turned her body.

Although her face looked sad and slightly thinner, her eyes showed happiness as soon as she saw Darrin.

"Didn't I say we shouldn't meet again?"

"Emily, what are you saying? Are you hating me because of that video? I apologize for that! But we both know it's a lie, right? Nothing happened between us."

"That's not what I'm worried about!"

Emily shook her head weakly, looking at Darrin with eyes that showed increasing sadness.

"Don't you understand? If Max sees you approaching me again then he will ..."

Emily didn't get to finish her sentence because it seemed like she saw the figure she was worried about suddenly not far behind Darrin.

"You bastard!"

Max shouted from a distance and then rushed towards the two of them.

He, who had a large body from often going to the gym, then approached Darrin and pushed him.

Oddly enough, this time he was like pushing a very sturdy wall.

Darrin didn't move from his spot.

Max grabbed Darrin's neck and then pushed him again. But the young man still didn't move from his standing position.

Max indeed had a big muscular body like a bodybuilder in general. However, he was shorter than Darrin and, of course, not stronger than him at the moment.

Darrin's current condition, which was becoming even more prime, made Max slightly surprised.

Feeling overwhelmed pushing Darrin, Max shouted right in front of Darrin's face.

"Aren't you satisfied with being beaten until bleeding? Do you want me to beat you to death?"

"Is this how you solve every problem?"

Darrin said calmly. However, he wasn't a coward. Even when his body was weak before, he was never afraid of anyone.

It's just that he was used to being patient and using his head to think before acting.

"You always solve everything with violence, even if it could be resolved by talking things out!"

"Shut up!"

Darrin's words made Max angrier.

First, he didn't manage to push him. And second, this damn kid looked like he didn't have any fear of him.

"Don't talk nonsense in front of me!"

Max aimed his fist at Darrin's face.

Punch!

It was a very fast movement. Besides training his body muscles in the gym, Max also hired a national martial artist to be his private trainer.

Not only very strong, but the punch was also performed with very precise technique.

If Darrin hadn't dodged, only God knew what would have happened to his face.

On the other hand, Darrin, who had never fought in his life, was shocked by the attack. However, at the same time, he also felt something strange in his body.

He felt like his body had a good response to what Max was going to do.

His instincts urged him to tilt his body immediately.

But Darrin, still lost in the wonder of what his body was experiencing, had no time to dodge.

The punch hit his left cheek very hard.

Bang!

    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 swiped his card, and immediately the packaged bread in the outlet scattered everywhere.The little children picked up the bread that had fallen to the ground with wide smiles on their faces.Using their shirts as containers, the ten children picked up the bread until their shirts couldn't hold anymore.Darrin smiled as he watched the children, especially when he thought about what could be bought with his card.His doubts vanished.At that moment, he became increasingly sure that his system could indeed give him whatever he wanted, not just food.Without Darrin's knowledge, not far from where he stood, a beautiful girl with tied-up hair and wearing sunglasses was watching him since he left the dormitory building.She wore a long brown velvet coat with her right hand tucked into the small bag she carried on her left arm.She was about to take out what she was holding with her right hand in the bag. However, she changed her mind when she saw what Darrin was doing for the little c

    "Look at this! It seems to be what you want!"The employee showed a scooter to Darrin after he explained that he wanted a scooter with a box on the back.Not only that, the employee then also began to look excitedly showing several other scooters with specifications that matched what Darrin mentioned."If you don't like the model, you can try that one!"The employee continued to show different models to Darrin."Sis, may I try it out? I want to know how it feels to ride it.""Of course! Do whatever you want! Just don't ever think about taking anything from here before you pay for it!"Although she said that, this time her lips showed a wide smile.As Darrin suspected, this girl was actually a good girl.The proof was that since earlier, she had been happily explaining to Darrin the advantages and disadvantages of each scooter in the place.However, because of the tremendous work pressure, especially since she worked in a showroom that was often deserted like this, she had to face her

    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

"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
