Cyrus rode his snowmobile along the riverbank, carrying Eleanor as they headed toward Cervusa Residence.He followed the river's course. Beneath the thick cover of ice and snow, the Luxorim River looked unexpectedly majestic. Compared to the surrounding land, far less snow had accumulated on the frozen surface.The Luxorim connected to the East Sea, and water's high specific heat meant its temperature changed more slowly. People were even fishing on the frozen river.The sight gave Cyrus a rare sense of human activity. Then his thoughts jolted sharply. "Fishermen? They have actually adapted to this extreme cold?"The idea was hard to believe. He had spent an entire month living in Cervusa Residence and had witnessed firsthand how miserable life there had been.Yet across the river, in Willowford Town, the villagers had already adjusted to the low temperatures.On reflection, it was not so strange. Farmers worked the land year-round. No matter how cold the weather became, they sti

The gunshots did nothing to scare the mad dogs away. If anything, they drove the animals into a frenzy. Teeth bared, the dogs lunged straight at Cyrus and Eleanor.Eleanor screamed, her voice cracking just as the dogs were about to tear into her.Cyrus clenched his teeth and fired first, dropping the two closest to her. In the next instant, the remaining six were already on him.There was no time to shoot again."Dimensional Gate!" Cyrus shouted as he flung open the entrance to his other space directly in front of him.Three sharp whooshing sounds rang out, and the furious barking vanished at once.Cyrus released a long breath. If even one of those dogs had bitten an unprotected part of his arm, he would have lost a large chunk of flesh, and infection would have been almost inevitable.This was the first time he had used his pocket dimension ability in real combat under lethal pressure.It worked. The defensive effect was absurdly powerful.As long as the dogs remained in the

When news of the deaths reached him, Thorgan's expression finally turned serious. "More deaths? How can there be more deaths? Didn't we already teach the nearby villages a lesson and make them behave?"Adrian answered grimly, "This time it wasn't anyone from Willowford Town. It was someone from across the river."He recounted the events of the day in careful detail. Thorgan listened as his expression grew increasingly cautious.Easton spoke next. "That person is far too strong. He wiped out four men and eight dogs in no time at all. I'm worried he could become a threat to our village. Thorgan, could he be like you? Someone who has awakened extraordinary powers?"Thorgan nodded solemnly. "That is very possible. Although I am the chosen one, unique and singular, once the universe grants me great power, it's bound to arrange a destined rival to temper me and make me stronger."He rested his chin on his hands, his gaze deep and thoughtful. "Perhaps this is my first trial since leaving

After helping Cyrus out of his coat, Zoey wrapped both hands around his arm and leaned in close, her voice soft and sweet. "Are you thirsty? Would you like something hot to drink? Or are you hungry? I can make you something."She pressed herself against him with intent, her supple chest pinning his arm so tightly it nearly vanished from view.Cyrus blinked. Zoey had always been obedient and gentle, but this was the first time she had ever taken the initiative like this.Then it clicked. 'So that's how it is. She sees Eleanor as competition.'Cyrus almost laughed to himself. Competition truly did drive progress. If Zoey and Scarlett ever ended up vying for his attention, he would be the one enjoying the rewards. When two people fought, a third walked away with the prize."Have a seat for a moment," Cyrus told Eleanor.Eleanor found Zoey's hostility faintly amusing. She said nothing, only nodded and moved calmly to the sofa.Cyrus drew Zoey into her bedroom. As soon as the door cl

When Kenneth heard that Cyrus had brought him a woman, excitement jolted him upright, and he jumped straight out of bed.Cyrus glanced toward the door. "She's right outside."At that, Kenneth suddenly turned shy. "Cyrus, did you tell her about our situation here?"Cyrus felt completely speechless. After more than 40 years as a bachelor, Kenneth could still get flustered at a moment like this. It was no wonder he had spent most of his life single."It's fine. She knows everything already and is willing to live with you," Cyrus said, rolling his eyes.Kenneth hesitated in place. Only after Cyrus seized his arm did he finally allow himself to be pulled along.They entered the living room together. Zoey and Eleanor were deep in animated conversation.Eleanor turned at the sound of movement, and their eyes met. Once Kenneth saw Eleanor's face clearly, confusion flickered across his expression before recognition struck. His mouth fell open in shock."You… Are you Eleanor Mayfield?"
