DON'T WORRY I WILL SEE HIM KILLED
Ethan looked calm even though five ork guards surrounded him. He began rehearsing the Swallow Step technique in his head, but time was slipping away. An ork guard roared and swung a massive red fist. Ethan dodged to the side and landed a strike in its jaw—shattering it. Bang. The ork fell dead.“Wow, I didn’t know my strength would increase this much in such a short while,” Ethan thought, but he didn’t relax. The other orks rushed him with axes.Clang—Ethan parried an axe with ease, then tore one guard in half; guts scattered everywhere. Bang, bang, bang. The three engaged in a brutal clash. After a dozen moves, the three ork guards were finished.Checking his stats, Ethan added 10 points to mana, bringing it to twenty. Now he could use the Star Sword Technique for two minutes. He lunged at the remaining 195 orks. Bang, bang, bang. By now Ethan had learned more of the Swallow Step.He didn’t dodge every strike—many landed—but left him unhurt. He lunged forward, slaughtering twenty bea
ETHAN'S CRUSH
The three of them walked in silence through the narrow, torchless corridor. The stench of decay hung thick, making the air feel heavy and suffocating. Shadows seemed to stretch and twist with every step.“You two should be careful. This place is… wrong,” Ethan said, his tone calm but sharp.“You’re injured. Take a healing potion,” Gloria pressed.Ethan shook his head. “Don’t worry. I’ve had worse.”Gloria snorted, striding ahead. “What a proud idiot. I can’t wait to watch you die.”Freddy sighed, rubbing his temple. “Damn it, Ethan, why do you keep provoking her?”“What did I do? She owes me 500k Ace Coin. If I take her potion, she’ll deduct it from the payment,” Ethan said casually.“Better broke than dead,” Freddy muttered with a chuckle.“By the way,” Ethan said slyly, “I heard you tried asking Jane out.”Freddy froze. “What?! Who told you that? I told her not to say anything!”“The walls have ears, my friend.” Ethan smirked.Freddy growled. “Hey—Ethan’s crush! Wait, you’re walking
COWARDLY LEADER
“Give me 500k Ace Coin and I’ll see you safe in this dungeon. I’ll even give you a tip,” Ethan said flatly.500k?! The crowd froze. Even VIP escorts only charged 100k at most. This guy was savage, they thought.Gloria hesitated, then finally said, “Fine, I’ll pay. But first—tell me the tip.”“Payment before service,” Ethan replied calmly.Snickers rose in the group. What tip could he give? Hide between your legs and run? they thought mockingly.Gloria kept her composure. “Alright. I’ll honor my word. I have a reputation to protect.”“Good. Then if you fail your word, our friendship is over—and I will seek revenge,” Ethan said, his piercing blue eyes locking onto hers.She didn’t flinch. “Fine. Now, the tip?”“There are mutant beasts lurking deeper in this dungeon,” Ethan said evenly.“Nonsense. If there were, we’d have sensed them,” a warrior scoffed.But Ethan wasn’t listening to him—he was staring into the shadows.“WATCH OUT!” a mage screamed, firing a beam into the darkness.BOOOM
THE WEAKLING
CHAPTER 17THE WEAKLING The group waited outside the portal for Corrie’s order.“We move in a shield formation. Tanks up front, long-range attackers in the middle, mages and healers at the back,” Corrie said casually, walking toward the portal as if he had nothing to fear. “All right, move your asses — we don’t have all day,” James barked, shoving Ethan.James pushed, but Ethan didn’t budge. He stood like Mount Tai. The shove surprised James — he knew Ethan’s reputation as the weak kid.“Stop pushing, big guy, or you’ll get my fist,” Gloria snapped, staring daggers at James. He ignored her, still trying to use the moment to talk to her.“Don’t worry, young lady. You can follow me in the back. I’ll keep you safe — why stick with these weaklings?” James grinned. Gloria ignored him and stepped into the portal with Ethan and Freddy, which sent James into a fury.“Don’t worry — when you enter, I’ll separate them. Then you can do as you like with the girl,” Corrie patted James on the back.
NEW FRIEND
It was already nighttime. Ethan arrived at Old Maple Street, where the area had been fully barricaded. A few beast corpses lay scattered around — three-eyed mist dogs, freshly slain. That meant the dungeon had only just opened.About a dozen people gathered near the barricade, waiting. Ethan counted quickly — twelve total: ten men and five women. Among them, one girl immediately caught his eye. She wore mutant beast armor, far too advanced for her young frame. She looked no older than fifteen.A first-timer rich girl, Ethan thought as he joined the group.Eyes immediately turned toward him. Everyone recognized him. To most, Ethan was the weakling who kept joining raids. Nobody cared much; at worst, he'd serve as bait.Ethan smirked inwardly. Hmph, pathetic. You think you'll use me as bait again? Let's see who's bait this time.The armored girl suddenly stepped forward, approaching Ethan with a curious smile."Hi, I'm Gloria. May I know your name?" she asked, offering her hand.Up clos
DAILY QUEST
[15 minutes remaining. Failure to complete the daily quest will result in severe punishment.]The system cut into Ethan's happy family reunion."Damn," Ethan sighed."Um, Mom… I think I should be discharged already. I'm feeling better now," Ethan said."Okay, son. But promise me you won't go to dungeons again. Be a regular person. I'll work hard and send you to a good school. With God's grace, you'll be a manager of a big company and we'll live a good life," his mother said, trying to smile.Although she looked strong on the outside, Ethan could see the cracks in her heart. First, she lost her husband. Now her only son constantly threw himself into dungeons. No ordinary woman could carry that weight."Mom… your shop is in bankruptcy. We need money just to survive. If I stop now, we might end up on the streets." Ethan's voice was calm."I know… but that doesn't mean I want to lose someone else close to me," his mother whispered.Ethan froze. He remembered these exact words. In his past
