Dinner went quite well. Not long afterwards, Ethan returned with Verona. And then, Ethan and Olivia said their goodbyes, ensuring they would both be at the Talk Show planned for them the following day. Ethan remained quiet during the ride until they finally arrived at Olivia's house; they changed into their proper clothes and regrouped in the grand living room. "We're here," he stated. Both wearing their pajamas, Olivia and Ethan were snuggled together on the couch with a few pillows and blankets they had brought with them. As they looked around, they discussed the possibility that the next attack might come during the night. "What do you think?" Ethan asked. Olivia reclined on the plush sofa in the room while Ethan sat cross-legged on the carpet, leaning his back against the couch that she was lying on. She then shifted her body so that her face was right behind Ethan's neck, inhaling deeply and savoring his scent. "I'm starting to really like your scent, Oppa," she murmured. "Don

Suddenly, a towering figure of two meters burst through the wall, sending everyone in the room scurrying in terror. Muscles bulged beneath his clothing, adding to the intimidation of the intruder. Ethan attempted to call forth the Mjolnir, sensing that something dreadful was about to occur, but he was too late; the man had already lifted a hefty portion of the wall and hurled it in their direction. Ethan, startled, swiftly picked up Verona's limp body and jumped to his feet. Olivia suddenly vanished from Ethan's side and reappeared just as quickly on the other side, shielding Elora from the large object that was hurtling toward them. "Mamaaaaa!" Verona screamed in anguish. Rohan defiantly stepped up to the looming figure, determined to safeguard Rania, who was seated beside him. "No one will lay a hand on my best friend's wife and child while I'm here!" he declared. Rania managed to escape by hiding behind Rohan's tall and intimidating figure. Suddenly, the assailant charged to

Rania collapsed onto the ground, her body limp and her strength sapped. The perpetrator spun on his heel and sprinted towards a gaping aperture in the corner of the spacious chamber, his feet pounding against the marble tiles. "Bye!" he shouted as he bolted.Ethan was determined not to let him walk away without allowing him to explain himself. He leaped up from his seat in an attempt to go after him, but Rohan's loud plea for Ethan to stay put halted his pursuit. "Wait!" he shouted."Let me chase him, please save Rania!""Let me chase him!" Rohan begged, his face contorted with anger. In a flash, he dashed past Ethan, jumping as he ran to close the distance between him and Jake. In an instant, the two had vanished from view.Ethan sprinted towards Rania, who had collapsed onto the ground. Elora was already crouched down beside her, and as she attempted to raise Rania's arm, it appeared as though she was attempting to communicate something. Elora shouted, "Hey hey hey, are you okay? J

Ethan didn't show the slightest bit of hesitancy as he threw his punches, aiming wildly at the body of the person who had collapsed in front of him. "Take that!" he shouted, his fists landing with force.Ethan pounded his fists repeatedly against the target of his rage: legs, stomach, chest, face - until it resembled nothing more than a mangled mass of flesh drenched in blood. The crimson liquid splattered in all directions, covering Ethan's face and body. He stepped back, surveying his work with a satisfied grin.Ethan starred in wonderment as the mangled mass of flesh before he was reduced to ashes and was then carried away by the breeze. "Thanks for the news," he remarked, gratitude evident in his voice. "Now I know exactly what I must do."The fight was finished, and Ethan's passionate, rebellious anger was beginning to dissipate. "It's over," he murmured.Ethan fell to the ground, holding down his knees and the Hammer of Justice that was standing beside him. His breath repeatedly

Ethan checked his stats, and he was pleasantly surprised to find that his level had significantly increased since the last time he had looked. Ethan felt an immense surge of strength flood through his legs, enabling him to run faster and jump higher than ever before. His kicks were more powerful than he'd ever imagined they could be - a skill he had acquired from Bas. "This is incredible!" he exclaimed excitedly. Olivia heard a light chuckle at Ethan's response and asked, "Are you talking about the skill you got from Bas, Oppa?" Ethan raised his face to face Olivia and nodded lightly. "Even though it was a disaster for us, you can't deny that Bas left something valuable for you," she said. "I guess so... Although, it still appears like it's randomly assigned to players. Not all battles between players result in skill acquisition for the other," Ethan explained. "I'm sure that the more people become aware of this, the more wars between players will take place," Olivia concluded.
