Distance to the house
Chapter 27Two people—one grown man and one kid no older than ten—made their way through the streets and alleys.They dodged whenever they could.When they couldn't, they fought.Owen and Kai stepped over the bodies of mutated animals they had slain along the way. Owen held the Sword of Vertyx tightly in his right hand, while Kai's elemental spirit floated several feet ahead of him, its small body crackling with faint sparks.Kai also had a blade in his hand.Owen had lent him one of his twin swords.Kai's grip around the weapon was awkward. and every few steps, he had to adjust his hold.He was still far from perfect with a weapon.But at least he wasn't empty-handed anymore.Owen suddenly stopped.Kai nearly walked into him.Owen lifted his head and stared at the darkening sky.His fingers tightened around the hilt of the Sword of Vertyx.The monsters had been getting more numerous.At first, they had encountered one every few streets.Then two.Then several at once.And now, with n
A gift from the Origin System
Chapter 26Owen watched the monsters for more than an hour.They didn't leave.They wandered through the streets, sniffing around abandoned cars and tearing through anything that caught their attention. Every now and then, one of them would stop and raise its head, as if searching for something.Owen's stomach growled.He lowered his gaze to his stomach.Then he remembered.He hadn't eaten anything since they returned to Earth.He searched through the barber shop, opening cabinets and checking behind the counter, but there was nothing edible in sight.“I can't bear this hunger anymore.”Kai looked at him.“But there are monsters out there.”“I know.”Owen's eyes returned to the street.“But that doesn't mean I'm going to starve myself.”Kai walked closer to the window and carefully peeked outside.“So… what's the plan?”“They're just monsters. No different from the ones we encountered in the rift.”Owen walked towards the door.“We're going down the street to the nearest shop. We'll g
Mutated
Chapter 25The rift had been cleared.Around the field, Awakened and civilians gathered their belongings. Some laughed in relief. Others simply stood there, staring at their hands as if they still couldn't believe they had survived.Green screens flickered in front of them.[Congratulations!][You have successfully cleared the rift.][Stage: Awakened][Rank: F]One after another, the screens disappeared.Owen stood among them, his expression unchanged.A blue screen hovered in front of his eyes.[Congratulations! Host has reached E Rank.][Host: Owen Wilson][Race: Human][Stage: Awakened][Rank: E][Strength: 80/100][Agility: 90/100][Stamina: 80/100][Endurance: 80/100][Total Stat Points Remaining: 7]Owen's eyes lingered on the letter E.Two days ago, he had barely stepped into the path of the Awakened.Now, while everyone around him celebrated reaching F Rank, he had already stepped beyond them.His fingers curled.Seven stat points remained.He would have to think carefully abo
The world outside
“Where is Kai?”Owen stepped forward, scanning the group of soldiers and civilians gathered around.The little boy was nowhere in sight.He grabbed one of the soldiers by the collar and pulled him closer.“Where’s the little boy?”The soldier swallowed hard. His hands went up instinctively as Owen's grip tightened.There was something different about Owen.He looked the same, but something about him had changed after coming out of the rift. Even standing still, he made the soldier feel like he was staring at someone he shouldn't provoke.“The kid is safe.”A voice cut through the crowd.Owen snapped his head toward the voice, but his hand remained locked around the soldier's collar.Lieutenant Colonel Jeffrey stepped out from the crowd, still wearing his armor.The same man who had ordered Owen to get back in line three days ago without even listening to what he had to say.Owen had disliked him from the beginning.“The boy, Kai, and the others who came out of the rift are over there.
Back to Earth
Chapter 23Owen slumped onto the ground, his butt hitting the cold stone floor.Every muscle in his body ached.His eyes moved toward the sword lying nearby.Just how powerful was this sword?A blue screen appeared before his eyes.[ Host has successfully obtained the Sword of the God Vertyx. ][ Mission status: Complete. ][ Rewards: Two Healing Potions and +10 Stat Points. ][ Everyone who participated in the mission and survived can now leave the rift. ]“Finally. We get to leave this damned place.” Becky let out a long sigh.Her eyes moved toward the sword.“The Vertyx’s Sword. Can I hold it?”“Of course.”Owen picked up the sword and handed it to her.Becky turned it over in her hands, examining the blade.A green holographic screen appeared before her eyes.[ Sword of Vertyx ][ Grade: Legendary ][ Type: One-Handed Sword ][ Length: 110 cm ][ Durability: ??? ][ Special Ability: ??? ][ Description: A legendary sword forged by a legendary blacksmith. ]Becky’s eyes widened sli
Defeating a Goblin King
Chapter 22 The Goblin King rose slowly from its throne. It didn't charge. It simply stared at Owen. Its yellow eyes followed every movement he made as it stepped down from the stone platform. One step. Then another. Each footfall echoed through the chamber. Owen tightened his grip on his twin short blades. The Goblin King towered over him at nearly seven feet. Its broad body was covered in thick, green skin, crisscrossed by old scars. Some were thin and faded. Others were deep enough to make Owen wonder what kind of weapon had left them. This thing had fought before. A lot. The dead Goblin General had charged at him with confidence. This one wasn't making the same mistake. Owen shifted his weight. It's not underestimating me. The Goblin King stopped a few meters away. Its fingers tightened around the hilt of its long sword. The blade was crude compared to the weapons Owen had seen from humans, but its edge looked sharp enough to split bone. Torchlight slid across the
