2025-12-12 04:58:15Minutes passed like hours but Henry lay still till the pain finally subsided.
A soft chime echoed in his ears. [Evolution Crystal: +1] He chuckled bitterly. "I knew this wouldn't be easy," he muttered, pushing himself off the damp ground. His muscles ached, but he stood. Just ahead, partially hidden by the trees was a jagged cave mouth. From another path nearby, he noticed lanterns casting a faint golden glow. They lit a narrow corridor that split into two directions, each path disappearing into darkness. He turned to the cave again. Something was etched above the entrance, he narrowed his eyes slightly, the symbols were foreign and he couldn't read it. "A dungeon?" Henry guessed aloud as he adjusted his grip on his slingshot and exhaled slowly. "Alright… Let's see what you've got." He stepped forward, and walked into the cave. [Welcome to Solo Dungeon Hennik] The lanterns flickered to life as he walked. Something about them caught his eye, when drops of slime fell onto the flames, instead of dimming, the fire flared brighter. He soon reached a wooden gate, or rather, two. The double doors stood side by side like guardians. One bore a large, faded C, the other, a bold H. "C and H?" he mumbled. He tapped his chin, thinking. "Cannibals? Hobgoblins?" He shook his head. "Let's try 'C' first." He reached for the handle. *Crreeaak* A gust of icy wind exploded out, stinging his skin like needles. "C...cold?" he gasped, arms wrapped around his torso. "Damn… I guessed wrong." He tried the H door, but it wouldn't budge. [Door C has already been unlocked.] "Of course," he groaned. "My first choice locks the path." No way out now. With chattering teeth, Henry returned to the frozen door and pushed it open again. The cold bit into him instantly, worse than before. Still, he stepped inside. Each breath fogged before him. He slowed his breathing, training it to last twelve seconds at a time. Any faster and he risked passing out. The moment he entered, the door slammed behind him with a loud metallic clang. Henry rubbed his arms furiously, his thin green goblin frame shivering. He tried hopping in place, rotating his shoulders, anything to raise his body temperature. He walked, fast but careful. This was a dungeon, there could be traps. Minutes passed and frost clung to his hair. "Co...." Henry couldn't utter a world and as he was ready to collapse, a faint light appeared ahead. He pressed forward with hopes and finally broke through. He stumbled into the next chamber, gulping air like he'd surfaced from water. "I almost froze" He whispered and cold air erupted from his mouth. The room glowed with hundreds of crystals hung from the ceiling, and it's made his body feels warm once again He stood straighter, his breath steady again. The chamber held four new doors. Each marked with a letter: K G W U Henry eyed them. "Here we go again…" He hesitated, then stepped toward the G door. This corridor was different, eerily quiet. No wind, no heat, just stillness. As he stepped through, the door slammed shut behind him once again. He kept his slingshot ready, fingers twitching over the rubber band and just then footsteps echoed from ahead, heavy, slow, deliberate. He glanced at the walls and the crystals reflected a tall, hulking shadow, that could take away his HP with one hit. "What the hell..." Henry whispered with his heart pounding heavily, seconds which seems like minutes passed by and finally the creature came into view. Henry blinked in disbelief, it's wasn't as he expected through the shadow reflection, its was an ordinary golbin just like him. No armor, no weapon. Just bare skin, thin limbs, wild eyes. It stopped, surprised. It stared at Henry's slingshot, confused. Henry laughed in relief. "Damm.. you scared me! I thought you were a beast." He stepped forward, arms open to give the golbin a hug. The goblin hissed. "Tskkkk!" Its words were guttural, sharp. It sounded angry. "What? Hey, calm down," Henry said. "I'm..." "Tskkk! Kraaa!" The goblin lunged. A notification flashed: [Translation Activated] [Translation of the Language: You speak human tongue. You're a human in disguise!] "Oh great, I can understand you now," Henry groaned, stumbling back. The goblin swung its fists, wild and furious. "I don't want to fight you!" Henry shouted, but the golbin still charged with full force. He pulled back the band of his slingshot, aimed, and released. *Whisssh* The stone made a slightly whistling noise and made it way to the goblins head. "Awl!" The creature let out a loud shriek, staggered, and crumpled to the ground. [You have killed an Ordinary Goblin.] [+10 EXP Earned] For a moment the cave was quiet, then the faint sounds of dozens footsteps could be heard and immediately Henrys face went pale. "They heard the cry of their comrade" he whispered. He didn't wait to check if the golbin had dropped any items, survival came first *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* He turned back toward the crystal-lit room but the door had vanished. "Damm it. No going back" he whispered bitterly, the only way was forward. He scanned the corridor for cover but they was nothing. Then finally he gulped then whispered. 'I have to fight for my life'

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. '
