2024-07-24 02:12:30Time passed quickly. Evan and Riley's relationship grew closer. After the quest to save Riley and defeat Marco, Evan still received other quests, but the quests he got were not as challenging as fighting Marco. Besides that, there was something strange about the rewards he received.
If previously Evan received 5-10 status points and experience, this time Evan only received one each time he completed a quest. This happened when Evan reached level 5. Of course, Evan felt frustrated because instead of progressing faster, his development actually slowed down. On a cold evening, Evan sat in front of his house with Riley, contemplating his progress. “What are you thinking about?” Riley asked, curious. Evan sighed deeply. “Nothing.” Riley frowned. “But you look like an old man thinking about his false teeth.” Evan rolled his eyes. He couldn't tell Riley about his powers. Maybe he would tell her in the future, but not now. “Why do you like helping people in our district so much?” Riley asked. “I just like doing it,” Evan replied without thinking. Riley smiled. “You know? People call you the savior kid of district 37.” As a friend, Riley felt proud of Evan. Why not? Evan always did good deeds without complaining or asking for anything in return. For Riley, if Evan grew up, he might become someone who could change their district, maybe even the entire city of Arcadia. Evan knew about the nickname. He just didn't care, because he received rewards beyond what he did. Lost in thought, Evan checked his level progress. Name: Evan Theodore Walker (9 years old) Job: - Title: 3/3 - Steel Heart (Permanently increases all status points by 5) - Helper of District 37 (Increases affinity with the residents of District 37) - Animal Lover (Increases the chance to tame animals by 2 points) Level: 9 Experience: 80 (100 experience points to reach Level 10) Health: 100% Stats: Strength Points: 70 (+5) Agility Points: 60 (+5) Stamina Points: 50 (+5) Sensitivity Points: 20 (+5) Intelligence Points: 20 (+5) Endurance Points: 60 (+5) Mana Points: 0 Special Abilities: Animal Taming (2/10) After reaching level 9 with difficulty and gaining various status bonuses, titles, and special abilities, what puzzled and frustrated Evan the most was his mana points. According to the system's explanation, mana would be crucial when someone learned magic. If this status appeared on Evan's HUD, then he would have the opportunity to learn magic, right? So why hadn't he received any magic skills or mana points? Frustrated, Evan ruffled his hair, ignoring Riley's odd look. Seeing her friend frustrated, Riley suddenly suggested visiting her parents' shop. “How about we go to my parents' shop? I’ll show you some pretty cool collections.” In the future, Evan had visited that shop too many times. To Evan, there was nothing interesting, but because there were no quests to complete, he finally agreed to Riley's invitation. “Let’s go. Maybe I can find a magic wand there,” Evan said casually. He didn’t know something was waiting for him there. *** In a skyscraper located in the heart of Arcadia, a tall, sturdy man handed a photo to a man dressed like a ninja. The photo was of a sword that had aged. “I want you to find this sword for me. Whatever it takes, you must get it,” ordered the tall, sturdy man. The man dressed like a ninja only nodded silently, then disappeared like a gust of wind. The tall man then walked to the glass window and looked out at the bustling city of Arcadia. In the past, this city was targeted by his ancestors. They were sorcerers who used dark magic to conquer Arcadia. However, their efforts were thwarted by a group calling themselves the Protectors of Arcadia. Five hundred years had passed, but the man did not forget the history of his ancestors. The curse of darkness was so strong that it bound them through generations. Now Arcadia had become a modern city, where no one believed in things like magic and mythical creatures. Money ruled Arcadia, but the man did not care. He had money, and now what he needed was to summon the dark army that had been sleeping for thousands of years. If his ancestors had failed to awaken this power, this time he would be the first to succeed in reviving the dark forces and conquering Arcadia completely. As the man smiled and opened his palm, a fireball suddenly appeared and danced in his hand. "Soon all the relics I desire will be gathered. Then, the offering to open the gate to darkness will be made!" He had already collected seven relics. Only three remained, but the man was confident he would gather them all. *** “This is a woman’s breastplate from the Mawa tribe,” said Riley, like a historian guiding tourists. “And this is the telescope of James Moragi, a man skilled in reading signs and fortune-telling.” Unlike the enthusiastic Riley, Evan felt bored because he already knew all the items there. But to appreciate Riley's effort, he still followed the brief tour until they stood in front of a rusty sword displayed in the darkest corner of the room. “Umm… I don't know the history of this sword, but my parents always say it's cursed.” Evan also knew about the sword because, in the future, it would be stolen, but the photo of the sword would still be displayed. It was a shocking event because Riley’s father was even killed in the incident. “Wait!” Evan suddenly stopped. Because he was focused on completing quests, he had forgotten about that event. “What is it, Evan?” asked Riley. Evan did not answer Riley’s question. He closed his eyes and focused on his future memories. “You said you would soon be 10 years old, right?” Evan asked suddenly. Riley nodded. “I’m celebrating my birthday on Sunday.” Evan opened his eyes. His face suddenly turned pale. Now he remembered that the tragic event happened exactly when Riley turned 10. Amid his confusion and worry, the notification from the system he had been waiting for finally rang loudly. Quest: (0/2) 1. Protect the Blade of Eternity 2. Save Michael Chang Time limit: 3 days Failure to complete the quest: Death of Michael Chang and the destruction of the future world Evan’s eyes widened. Destruction of the world? Evan then began to think about why he was given this power and brought back to the past. Did it mean something was threatening this world? How could a 9-year-old, soon to be 10, save the world from destruction? ***

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
Chapter 176: The Unyielding Power of Victor Draven
Victor Draven descended onto the battlefield after his forces began to falter. With a dark aura radiating from his body, he walked with barely contained rage. 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. Hugo and Jena, two formidable warriors from Ironfist Hunter, quickl
