2025-04-27 20:37:42Eryndor trekked across the Windy Plains, his eyes scanning the horizon for any sign of the wind-wolves' dwelling. He knew wolves often lived in caves, so he searched for any nearby.
After hours of walking, he spotted a small cave in the distance. As he approached, he noticed wolf pups with shimmering silver fur playing outside. Eryndor's mission required ten wind-wolf hides. Using the pups as bait seemed like the most efficient way. He crept closer, trying not to startle them. The pups, oblivious to danger, continued playing. Eryndor swiftly grabbed one of the pups, its tiny body wriggling in his grasp. The pup yelped and whined, its siblings scattering. A ferocious growl echoed from within the cave, growing louder. Eryndor smiled grimly. His plan had worked. The Alpha wind-wolf emerged from the cave, its eyes blazing with fury. Eryndor held the pup firmly, his hand wrapping around its tiny mouth to silence its cries. The Alpha wind-wolf charged, its wind-manipulated speed sending dust swirling. Eryndor braced himself, ready for battle. Eryndor tossed the pup aside, and it landed safely, yelping softly. He drew his sword, its familiar weight reassuring in his hand. "Flamergus!" Eryndor shouted, casting the flaming sword spell. His sword erupted in flames, casting flickering shadows on the surrounding rocks. The Alpha wind-wolf, a majestic creature with silver fur and piercing yellow eyes, charged towards him. Its wind-manipulated speed sent dust swirling, reducing visibility. Eryndor charged forward, flame-licked sword at the ready. As the Alpha wind-wolf closed in, Eryndor sidestepped, avoiding its razor-sharp claws. He struck back, sword slicing through the air, leaving a trail of flames. The Alpha wind-wolf dodged, its agility impressive. It countered with a gust of wind, sending Eryndor stumbling backward. Regaining balance, Eryndor lunged forward, sword flashing in the sunlight. The Alpha wind-wolf parried with its claws, sparks flying as steel met claw. Their battle raged on, the wind howling around them. Eryndor's flames danced across the Alpha's fur, but it refused to yield. With a swift kick, the Alpha sent Eryndor crashing into nearby rocks. As he struggled to stand, the Alpha pounced. Eryndor raised his sword, bracing for impact. The Alpha's claws scraped against the blade, sparks flying. Seizing the moment, Eryndor twisted, sword slicing through the Alpha's defenses. The creature yelped, stumbling backward. Eryndor pressed his advantage, striking true. The Alpha wind-wolf collapsed, its fur smoldering. Breathing heavily, Eryndor stood victorious. A notification echoed in Eryndor's mind: "Ding! Congratulations to Host on defeating the alpha of the wind-wolf pack. Host has been awarded two thousand chaos points." "Ding! Alpha Wind-Wolf Defeated Wind Manipulation Magic Spell Acquired Pack Leadership, Unsuccessful. To claim pack leadership, eliminate all resistors." Perplexed, Eryndor wondered what this meant. Growls and barks erupted behind him. He turned to face fifteen wind-wolves, their eyes blazing with hostility. A majestic wind-wolf with feminine features led the pack. Eryndor recognized her instantly, the Alpha's mate. The loyal wolves stood behind her, forming a united front. The female Alpha's gaze locked onto Eryndor, her eyes burning with vengeance. Eryndor gripped his sword tightly, prepared for battle. The female Alpha took a step forward, her voice a low growl. "You eliminated our leader... our protector." Eryndor stood firm. "I claim this pack as my own." The female Alpha snarled. "You'll have to defeat us all first." Eryndor focused inward, accessing the system. "Allocate 5 points to Strength, 3 points to Speed," he commanded. Confirmation flashed in his mind: "Stats Updated Strength: 25 +5 Speed: 22 +3" Empowered, Eryndor charged forward. The wind-wolves, fueled by rage and loyalty, attacked. Their snarls and growls filled the air as they clashed. Eryndor's sword sliced through the chaos, flames dancing. He dodged snapping jaws and swiped at the wolves. The female Alpha lunged, her fangs aimed at Eryndor to eliminate him for good. He sidestepped, striking her shoulder. She yelped, stumbling. The pack's ferocity intensified. Eryndor spun, sword flashing. A wolf crumpled, whimpering. Another leapt. Eryndor parried its attack. A charged at him at his side. Eryndor winced, shaking it off. His enhanced strength sent wolves flying. The battle raged. Eryndor's sword sliced, flames scorching fur. The wind-wolves' numbers dwindled. The female Alpha stood, her eyes blazing. With a final, desperate lunge. Eryndor met her, sword shining. Their clash ended with her defeat. The remaining wolves fled. Eryndor stood victorious. Breathless, he surveyed the aftermath. The system notified him, "Ding! Congratulations to Host on defeating eleven wind-wolves including the Luna of the wind-wolf pack. Host had been awarded thirty thousand chaos points." "Ding! Pack Leadership, Successful Wind-Wolf Pack now under your command" Inside King Ryker's throne room, the elven envoys, Eriol and Althaeon, sat alongside the King, nobles, and generals. "Your Majesty," Eriol began, "the dark force threatening our Kingdoms is led by a dark elf named Eryndor." King Ryker's brow furrowed. "Eryndor? Who is this dark elf? I have never heard of him, is he a greenhorn, seeking power?" Althaeon explained, "On the contrary King Ryker, he is a ruthless leader, gathering followers and corrupting the land. His power grows daily." Lord Thomas asked, "What's his goal?" Eriol's expression turned grave. "Conquest. He seeks to claim all realms, human and elven." General Adolph frowned. "We can't let that happen." King Ryker nodded. "Agreed. We must act swiftly." Althaeon urged, "Every day lost allows Eryndor's army to grow. We must set a march date soon." The room fell silent as the weight of the task settled. King Ryker spoke, "We'll mobilize our army within a fortnight. Prepare for battle." Eriol and Althaeon exchanged nods. Lord James asked, "What of Eryndor's powers?" Althaeon hesitated before responding, "We're still gathering information. But we know for certain he had united all the goblin clans within the western dark forest, perhaps even more." Eriol added, "Rest assured King Ryker, we'll share all we learn." King Ryker's eyes narrowed. "I want regular updates." The meeting concluded, the fate of the realms hanging in the balance. As the elven envoys departed, Eriol whispered to Althaeon, "We must ensure the humans remain unaware of Eryndor's true heritage. They may not lend a hand if they find out he is related to us and we have failed to eliminate him when he was still weak." Althaeon nodded. "For the sake of our kingdom.”

Eryndor could see the hesitation on his face.“What seems to be the problem?”"The elven army prepares to march against us," Grimp reported.Eryndor's expression did not change as Grimp had expected, rather Eryndor smiled.“I've been expecting that.

Elven Rebirth Chapter 22. Irrational Quest
Eryndor, Adam Hill, walked into the adventurers' guild building. His new human form blended in perfectly. The kingdom was on high alert against elves with unknown origin. No one suspected a thing.Adam approached the registration table."Excuse me," he said with a smile. "I'd like to register as an adventurer."The clerk raised an eyebrow. "You're a bit old for this, aren't you?" he scoffed. "Adventuring is for the young."Adam chuckled. He knew well he was around thirty-five years when he was still on Earth. But it's perfect for infiltration as everyone knew that the dark elf Eryndor had the looks of an early twenties young elf.. not a mid-thirties human male."Age is just a number." Adam said.The clerk shrugged. "Suit yourself. Fill out the form."Adam took the parchment and began filling the registration."Name: Adam Hill. Class, Magic-Sword User."The clerk handed Adam a badge.

Ethan's eyebrows arched, intrigued."Mr. Adam," one bodyguard announced, his deep voice echoing through the air.The guards parted, revealing Roosevelt Francis, a dignified older man with snow-white hair and a well-groomed beard, and a middle-aged man beside him. Both wore tailored attire that exuded wealth and sophistication.Roosevelt's piercing gaze locked onto Adam as he approached.

He now knew exactly why Janice suddenly asked for a divorce; Janice was cheating on him, and when Terry couldn't bear to keep it a secret anymore, Janice then demanded for a divorce.. it all made sense now! He had been cuckolded without even knowing. When did it start? How long has they been sleeping with each other behind his back? Three months? Four months? Anger and hate welled up in his heart for these two in front of him. Adam looked at Janice's smiling face as she blushed and held Terry's arm as if it was a bag full of trium.. perhaps it was.

Adam stepped out of the building and found Janice waiting for a cab. He approached her, his heart heavy.Their marriage had ended abruptly, and Adam understood why. Janice wanted a strong, wealthy partner to provide for her. He had the strength, but not the wealth.. at least, not in his current life.Adam held no grudges. "Janice, I genuinely wish you all the best. I hope you find someone who loves and cares for you as much as I do. You deserve a good life."His words were sincere, born from his enduring love for Janice.

Well-built shops and markets bustled with activity.Knight Commander Adara's eyes widened. "This can't be. Goblins are savages."General Adolph turned to Eryndor, shock etched on his face. "How is this possible? Goblins, modernized?"Eryndor smiled, pride shining in his eyes. "Anything is possible once we put our minds to it.""Astonishing," General Adolph muttered. "Your people have done the impossible."Eryndor chuckled. "We're more than just mindless beasts, General."Grimp halted the procession.

The throne room buzzed with tension as nobles, military leaders, and clergy gathered for the emergency meeting.Knight Commander Adara frowned. "We can't change our strategy based on the whims of a lone adventurer."General Adolph countered, "Adam Hill's insights are valuable. We can't ignore the threat Eryndor poses."Duke Ravenswood sneered, "A lowly adventurer? What does he know of war and strategy?"Lord Harrington turned to Duke Ravenswood, "What do you know about war and strategy? Where was your war and strategy during the first battle against Eryndor, no don't tell me, but I would like to know where your war and strategy was when the thunderwolf pack ravaged through a village and killed of almost all it's residents. That lowly adventurer faced off against the vicious pack alone, and won. So until you do the same, I suggest you sit down and don't even speak another word."The entire throne room was silent. No one had expected such an outburst from the rigid and uncaring Harringt
