2025-12-12 04:57:14"I guess I should leave..."
Henry's voice barely escaped his lips. Hidden behind the thick trunk of an old tree, he watched the clearing ahead with wide, focused eyes. Two baby wolves prowled in the distance and the adult wolf watched over them. "I'm leaving, if I die again... that's it, no third chance." Henry turned to leave but suddenly, a soft chime rang in his ears. [New Quest] [Quest: Defeat the Wolves] [Reward: 50 Experience Points] Henry let out a shaky breath. "Whew. I don't have a choice" "What do I have in my inventory?" [Inventory] — Slingshot — 100 Rock Bullets A moment later, a small slingshot appeared in his hands. It was a simple wooden Y-shaped frame, polished but rough, with two rubber bands stretched between its tips. Henry stared at it, dumbfounded expecting something more powerful to appear. But no, this was it. "How is this supposed to be my weapon...?" Sighing, he summoned the rock bullets. A pouch full of tiny smooth stones that's was in a shape of bullet, it's was different from normal tiny rocks one could pick from the ground. He peeked inside, then tied the pouch securely around his waistband. "Alright.....if this is how I survive, so be it." He crouched lower, peeking around the tree, the wolves were still roaming, unaware. Carefully, he drew one of the small rocks and loaded it into the slingshot's cradle. His fingers trembled slightly as he pulled the band back. The wooden frame felt awkward in his hand. His stance was clumsy, his grip unsteady. The rubber band wobbled as he tried to steady his aim, too shaky. He adjusted his footing and took a deep breath. "Whew... come on, focus." He exhaled slowly and closed his right eye, centering the first baby wolf in his sight. It sniffed curiously at the grass, oblivious. And then, he let go. The rock zipped through the air, making a faint whistle as it cut through the silence. *BAM!* It smacked against the baby wolf's skull. The creature dropped with a yelp, legs sprawled. "Damn.... Not enough." Henry quickly grabbed another rock and loaded it. The wolf was dragging itself up, groaning. *Whish!* The second shot struck the creature in the torso. Its legs gave out. [You've Killed a Baby Wolf] "Yes!" Henry hissed, trying to keep his voice down. But it wasn't quiet enough. The wolves snapped their heads toward him, eyes glowing. "Oh no…" Their growls deepened. Then the adult wolf charged and the baby wolf followed behind. Henry's eyes widened. "Not funny!" He spun and ran. Leaves crunched underfoot as he tore through the trees. Branches scratched his skin, but he didn't stop. The sound of four-legged pursuit echoed behind him. "Damn!" he panted, heart racing. He glanced over his shoulder. They were still coming. Ahead, four goblins milled around a clearing. Henry didn't hesitate, he dashed right past them. The goblins blinked in confusion. Then they noticed the wolves. "Tskkkk!" one barked, drawing a rusty sword. The others followed, brandishing weapons and speaking in a harsh tongue. They met the wolves head-on. Henry paused behind a tree, watching. The goblins fought fiercely, but the Adult Wolf was too fast. One goblin fell with a swipe, another was bitten in the neck. In seconds, all four lay motionless, and the wolves kept coming with the baby wolf taking the lead this time. "No time…" Henry muttered. "One hit and I'm done." He dug into his pouch, pulled out another stone, and took aim. His breath was shaky. The baby wolf closed in, then it's jumped. "Hoowwwll!" *Swish!* Henry fired. The rock hit mid-air, slamming into the wolf's skull. [You've Killed a Baby Wolf] The wolf fell to the ground dead. "One left." The Adult wolf was already lunging, jaws aimed at his legs. Henry rolled to the side, barely dodging. He stumbled in the landing, but stayed upright. 'No time to think' He drew a rock, loaded it then turned. The Adult wolf snarled and came charging. Henry fired, awkwardly, too quick. But the rock hit true and the wolf fell to the ground. [Quest completed] [You've Killed the Wolves] [+50 Experience Points Earned] Henry collapsed onto the ground, chest heaving. He hadn't realized how exhausted he was until the fight ended, every limb felt heavy now. His breathing slowed as the adrenaline drained. After a long pause, he whispered, "System." [Status] [Name: Henry] [Race: Goblin] [Class: Marksman] [SP: 0] [Level: 1] [EXP: 50/100] [Evolution Crystals: 0] [HP: 15/15] [Strength: 10] [Agility: 10] [Stamina: 10] [Vitality: 10] [Skills: Locked] "Just fifty more and I'll level up," he said aloud, voice tired but proud. As he stood, something shiny caught his eye just a few distance away from the wolf. A small crystal, glowing faintly, lay nestled in the grass. He walked over and picked it up. [Item Acquired: Evolution Crystal] [+1 if Absorbed] "This must be it," he murmured, holding the crystal between his fingers. "With this… I can evolve." Without thinking, he popped it into his mouth. It dissolved like sugar, slipping down his throat effortlessly. He smiled. "Well, that was easier than I...." Then pain exploded through his body. Henry gasped. His knees buckled. He fell to the ground, clutching his chest as the searing agony spread through every vein.

Chapter 100 I'm back
'All i have to do now is not to let's anything change the scheme ahead, until am at the alley' Henry thought to himself, the weight of the decision pressing down on him. The hallway buzzed with students passing by, laughing, chatting. But Henry’s mind was elsewhere, fighting the urge to let anything slip.Suddenly, a voice broke through his thoughts. "Are you sure everything's alright?"Henry jumped, his heart skipping a beat. He turned to find Nuela standing beside him, concern etched across her face."Oh, Nuela... you scared me," he muttered, exhaling a shaky breath."I asked you earlier," she said, her voice soft but insistent. "You said everything was alright."Henry fought the urge to say more. 'She always cares' he thought.' I wish I could tell her, but if I do, it’ll mess everything up.'"I'm fine," Henry replied, forcing a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. He repeated his earlier words, trying to stay in character. "Thanks for yesterday."Nuela leaned against the locker next
Chapter 99 Vorden Greatest Fear
The world around Vorden began to swirl as he was pulled from the present. A dark, suffocating void enveloped him, like the weight of a thousand nights pressing down on his chest. He felt himself falling, and then, as if from nowhere, the world snapped back into focus. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and the distant whisper of trees in the wind. He blinked rapidly, his heart racing as memories flooded him.He was standing in a clearing now, one that felt hauntingly familiar, the air filled with the smell of pine and wet soil. The trees around him seemed ancient, their trunks wide and their branches reaching toward the sky. Vorden felt the hairs on his neck stand up. This place—he remembered it well.It was his village. Or rather, it had been his village.He could hear the sounds of children laughing, the crackling of a nearby fire, the low murmur of elders talking. It was peaceful—too peaceful.But then, the silence shattered.A howl pierced the air, followed by another,
Chapter 98 Juliet Greatest Fear
Juliet stood alone in a vast void, her senses overwhelmed by the eerie silence. There were no shapes, no sounds, just an endless blackness that pressed against her. Yet, in the distance, a faint light flickered—a beacon that seemed familiar. As her feet moved toward it, the air around her began to change, the temperature growing warmer, the world shaping itself.The light took form. The training grounds. The very place where everything had begun, her journey, her training, her fears. And there, standing before her in the middle of a sunlit clearing, was her father. He was young again, as if the past had not yet stolen his life away. His strong, calloused hands gripped a wooden training sword, and his eyes, filled with unwavering resolve, locked onto her."Juliet," her father said, his voice full of affection but also firmness. "You must learn to control your ability. It’s not enough to just fight. You have to understand your power, respect it."Juliet felt herself swallowed by a wave
Chapter 97 Locker Hall
Henry and Juliet stepped out of the classroom, the door swinging shut behind them with a quiet thud. The hall was quiet for a brief moment, but the air felt charged, as if something was about to happen. Nuela’s voice broke the silence, soft but concerned. "Henry, everything doesn’t seem right. If something’s wrong, you can talk to me. You know that, right?"Henry glanced over at her, his heart tightening in his chest. He wanted to tell her everything—the stress, the pressure, the anxiety that gripped him when he thought about Jack and his group. But at the same time, he didn’t want to let it show. He didn’t want to worry her.“Yeah…” Henry’s voice was calm, almost too calm. He forced a smile, though it felt out of place. “Everything’s alright, Nuela. Trust me, friends don’t lie.”He pulled her closer, wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug. She froze for a moment but then relaxed, hugging him back. It was a brief, intimate moment, the kind that spoke of trust and comfort. Yet, i
Chapter 96 Dream Land 5
Henry sat on the stone chair near the schoolyard, the heavy weight of his thoughts pressing down on him. His heart was racing, and his fingers trembled slightly as he sat still. It was as if the air around him had thickened, every breath feeling like a challenge. Taking in a deep breath, he muttered under his breath, “I can do this. I can stop Jack and his weird group today.” The words barely felt real. He was scared, unsure of what to expect, but something inside him had shifted. His mind sharpened as he exhaled slowly, attempting to calm the storm swirling in his chest. He opened his system interface to check if it came along with him to the dream land.

Chapter 95 Dream Land 4
Henry sat in his seat, his gaze fixated on the outside world. Through the narrow window of Mr. Mike’s classroom, the sky stretched out in a brilliant blue expanse, unmarred by clouds. It was a picture-perfect day, the kind of day that would make anyone want to spend their time outdoors, feeling the warmth of the sun on their skin. It would have been the ideal weather—if not for the storm brewing just beneath the surface of Henry’s thoughts.He didn’t care about the lesson, today. The words from Mr. Mike drifted in one ear and out the other, a steady hum that faded against the weight of his internal conflict. There was no point in pretending to focus. Henry could feel the tension building inside him, like a tight coil ready to snap. He was barely holding it together.Part of him wanted to run, to leave it all behind, but another part reminded him why he was here. Why he had to stay. "You have to be strong' Henry thought, closing his eyes for a moment, trying to steady his breathing. '
