Marco and his friends laughed when they saw Evan ready to fight. “Look, it turns out there’s someone dumber than Riley the nerd!” Marco jeered.
Evan felt adrenaline coursing through him. He knew this wasn’t an ordinary fight. He decided to use his new strength. This would be his first real lesson and fight. All this time, he had only been able to stay silent while he and Riley were bullied. But now, Evan had decided to fight back. Marco stepped forward, clenching his fists. “You think you can beat us?” Evan didn’t answer. He raised his hand, aiming his palm at Marco. In seconds, Marco felt a powerful punch land on his stomach. “Ughh!!” Marco fell to the ground, clutching his belly. Not only Marco and his friends, but Evan himself was surprised by his punch. Was he really that strong? “What are you doing?!” Marco growled. “Attack him!” Marco ordered his friends. Two of Marco’s friends, Tony and Jack, moved in to attack. Evan responded quickly, dodging their punches with increased agility. He felt lighter and faster than before. With a swift movement, he knocked Tony down with a knee kick and then hit Jack with a hard punch to the chest. Seeing his two friends fall, Marco grew furious. He stood up and attacked Evan with wild movements. Evan felt a real threat but stayed calm. Skillfully, Evan dodged Marco’s every attack. To Evan, Marco’s moves seemed slow and clumsy. Marco just threw punches and kicks randomly, venting his anger. There was little to expect from a fight among kids. Evan even wondered why he was afraid of Marco, who had no real fighting skills. Maybe it was because Marco was older and bigger than him? After attacking blindly, Marco finally became exhausted. He stopped and took a breath. “You can only dodge! You’re worse than a rat!” Marco’s words sounded amusing to Evan. Although Evan was 8 years old, his mind was like that of a 17-year-old. Because of this, Evan wasn’t provoked by Marco’s words. “Can you withstand my punches?” Evan asked, clenching his fist. He moved forward slowly, making Marco step back. Marco looked at Evan with fear. “Stay away from me!” Evan seized the opportunity and took action. He moved quickly forward and punched Marco hard, sending him crashing to the ground. Riley, who had been watching in fear, now stood up and approached Evan. “Thank you! You’re amazing!” he said with sparkling eyes. Riley looked like someone who had just witnessed a hero. Evan smiled, feeling proud and relieved. His HUD displayed a notification, signaling that he had completed the quest. Quest Completed: Defeat Marco and Save Riley Experience: +10 Rewards: Strength Points +10 Agility Points +10 Stamina Points +10 Title: Steel Heart (Permanently increases all status points by 5) Evan felt his body filled with new energy.

Marco and his friends got up, looking at Evan with fear and respect. “I’ll remember you!” Marco said threateningly before they fled. “You’re really amazing!” Evan looked at Riley, who was now gazing at him with awe. “Are you hurt?” Riley shook his head quickly. “I’m fine! Oh, by the way, my name is Riley! Riley Chang!” Evan already knew Riley but still shook his small hand. “I’m Evan, Evan Walker.” In the future, Evan and Riley would become friends due to their shared experiences with Marco’s bullying. But in this moment, Evan had changed that, and he was very grateful. Evan knew this was just the beginning of a long and dangerous journey. But he also knew that with his new strength, he could protect the people he cared about and face every challenge that came his way. Evan promised himself that he wouldn’t let anyone harm his friends and family. ***

Chapter 180: Arcadia Guardian
Evan slowly opened his eyes, and the first thing that greeted him was the system screen that suddenly appeared before him. The words on the screen made him pause for a moment. "Congratulations," the message read, "You have become the Guardian of Earth." His heart raced as he read those words, but before he could fully process it, the screen vanished, leaving behind a warm sensation that spread throughout his body. The warmth made him feel at peace, as if all the heavy burdens he had carried were suddenly lifted away. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a room that was familiar to him. The wooden ceiling adorned with classic carvings, the thick curtains framing the large window, and the distinctive aroma. This room was his at the Ironfist family's residence. Evan tried to get up from the bed, but the exhaustion still lingered throughout his body. "Evan..." A soft voice, full of emotion, called his name. He turned towards the voice and saw Aria standing at the doorway,
Chapter 179: The Final Curtain of the Battle
Victor observed the battlefield around him with a sharp gaze. His once-invincible army had now been shattered, defeated by the alliance of the Guardians and Ironfist Hunter. His body trembled, not only from exhaustion but also from the anger that was slowly taking over him. In his mind, he contemplated the chaos that had unfolded, realizing that his perfect plan had fallen apart. "I didn't expect them to get this far," he muttered cynically, his eyes fixed on Evan, who still stood firm before him. Every blow, every strike from Evan, felt increasingly heavy and powerful. Victor began to feel a pressure he had never experienced before. He, who had always considered himself invincible, was now feeling the push and panic. "Evan Walker... You turned out to be far stronger than I imagined," said Victor, his lips curling into a thin, hate-filled smile. He looked at Evan with eyes full of rage and determination. "But I won't give up that easily!" In a final attempt, Victor summoned the dar
Chapter 178: Hope In The Darkness
Victor Draven stared intently at the man standing before him. Amidst the chaos and destruction of the battlefield, there was only one person capable of matching Victor's dark aura—Evan Walker. The man who had become a thorn in his side, the primary obstacle behind his failure to command the forces of darkness.All this time, Evan had thwarted every one of Victor's cunning plans, causing him to lose control over the immense power that should have been his. But now, the time had finally come. The moment Victor had long awaited, the moment when he could finally destroy the greatest obstacle in his life.Victor wasn't angry—no, instead, a thin smile formed on his tense lips. There was an indescribable joy on his face, like a child who had finally found the toy he had been searching for all along."Finally, we meet, Evan," Victor said, his voice low and deep, echoing in the brief silence that enveloped them. Victor's eyes glowed with dark joy, filled with anticipation for the battle to com
Chapter 177: The Return of Evan Theodore Walker
Aria and her comrades initially found a glimmer of hope through their solid teamwork. They moved in perfect synchronization, attacking Victor Draven from all sides. However, Victor had no intention of letting them achieve victory easily."Attack from every side! Don't give him any room to breathe!" Aria commanded firmly, her sword glowing with a fusion of wind and shadow energy.Hugo, with his fiery fists blazing, added, "We have to stop him now, or everything will be for nothing!"But Victor only smiled coldly. "Do you really think this is enough to stop me?" he whispered icily.It was then that Victor revealed his true power. With a single gesture, he manipulated the darkness. Shadows oozed from his body, engulfing everything around him. All the magic attacks launched by the elite Ironfist Hunter team seemed meaningless. The darkness swallowed all the spells and attacks, rendering their efforts futile as the battlefield was consumed by impenetrable shadows."This... can't be happeni

Each step he took shook the ground, emitting a terrifying energy that was immediately felt by everyone around him.As his feet touched the battleground, a powerful tremor was felt by all. The strong dark aura enveloped Victor's body, instilling fear in the hearts of his enemies. With a single hand gesture, he created a destructive vortex of energy, forcing the fighters from Blue Sky and Ironfist Hunter to retreat a few steps, while the previously cornered monster leaders fought back with renewed vigor."Everyone, get ready!" Aria shouted, her voice firm but tense. She knew they couldn't face Victor individually. "We must stop Victor from harming more guardians!""We have no choice but to hold our ground and fight with everything we've got!" Hugo replied, anger clear in his voice. "I'll distract him with my fire. Aria, you and th
Chapter 175: The Turning Tide
In Arcadia City, Victor Draven stood at the edge of a towering building, his sharp eyes surveying the battlefield below. Initially, he was confident of an absolute victory. His army of various monstrous races had wreaked havoc across Arcadia, burning buildings and ruthlessly crushing their opponents. However, as time passed, that confidence began to wane, replaced by a creeping unease within him. The battle that once seemed like a sure victory was now turning into a fierce, evenly-matched struggle. The arrival of the Ironfist Hunter warriors had a tremendous impact that Victor had never anticipated. They came like an unexpected storm, wielding power and strategy that shifted the momentum of the battle. On the battlefield, the Ironfist Hunter showed their prowess. The elite warriors of Ironfist Hunter immediately rushed to assist the Blue Sky members, who were on the verge of despair while facing the monster leaders.
