The roar of the second wave echoed through the room as Omer Jin-Hoo took a deep breath. He felt the weight of the newly acquired "Blood Demon's Dagger" in his hand. The black dagger seemed to tremble with a power that touched his soul. With deadly determination in his eyes, he prepared to attack.The elves charged at him in great numbers, armed with spears, swords, and bows. Each one was determined to fight to the death. Omer blocked the initial assault head-on, then skillfully parried a spear thrust from one elf and countered. The sharp tip of his dagger carved a deep wound into an elf's arm.The battle raged mercilessly. Using his agility and the power of his new weapon, Omer took down several elves; but their numbers were overwhelming, and he began to tire. Covered in blood and sweat, his wounded body danced with death.He had to fight with far more resistance than he had shown in the first wave. Arrows flew through the air, spears and swords clashed violently. Suddenly, he took a blow to his sword, and felt a burning sensation on one side of his body. But giving up was not an option. His determination and survival instinct kept him standing.After about half an hour of intense combat, Omer finally managed to repel the second wave of elves. Exhausted and bloodied, he sat down, half-faint, trying to control his breathing.Just then, the system activated again:(Player, you have successfully repelled the second wave. Do you want to receive your reward?)Weary but determined, Omer said, "Yes." Instantly, five "Healing Potions" and a "B-Rank Shield" appeared in his hands. He was newly empowered, but still faced a much greater challenge ahead.Omer Jin-Hoo had endured the second wave with difficulty but emerged victorious. Strengthened by the "Blood Demon's Dagger" and the "B-Rank Shield" in his hands, and rejuvenated by the five Healing Potions he had received, he felt renewed. However, he had yet to fully understand the difference between the "C-Rank" dagger and the "B-Rank" shield in his inventory.At that moment, the large doors of the room burst open with a loud noise. The third wave had arrived.This attack was far more organized and relentless. The elves were heavily armed and greatly outnumbered him; orcs and goblins had joined the assault. Their numbers had long surpassed one hundred. It was as if an entire army was storming at Omer.Though tired, wounded, and bloodied, Omer refused to succumb to despair. Memories of the bullying he had endured as a child flashed before his eyes. The fragile voice of his younger self echoed inside him:"Please don't give up."That voice gave Omer one last surge of strength. He gripped his dagger tightly, raised his shield, and launched a full-scale attack. One by one, he defeated the goblins, orcs, and elves. Covered in blood and sweat, pushing his body to its limits, his healing potions ran out. His fatigue and injuries worsened. Just as he was about to drop his dagger, a powerful orc swung its sword at him. In that moment, the voice of young Omer echoed again, and he narrowly parried the blow.Summoning his final reserves of strength, he lifted his dagger once more, shouted, and made one last strike to repel the third wave.But his body had suffered severe damage. His arm was broken, and he was drenched in blood from head to toe.Exhausted and bloodied, Omer leaned against the ground, feeling the pain in his body but sensing that something inside him was changing. At that moment, the system reactivated, and a voice echoed throughout the room:(Player, you have successfully repelled the third wave. New quest activated Quest: Defeat Elf Commander Galadriel Time remaining: 10 minutes)Omer's heart quickened once again. He was now faced with a new challenge that would push him to his limits. Just then, the large and majestic door of the room slammed open.Into the room stepped a woman commander clad in shining armor adorned with intricate engravings, her shield and sword gleaming. Elf Commander Galadriel was like a war machine. Her eyes held cold determination, and her face bore the harshness of battle.Despite his exhausted body, Omer fixed his gaze on her. He immediately sensed the commander's power and danger. Yet, no matter how tired he was, the desire to fight still burned inside him.
At that moment, he noticed the "Points" tab in the system. His abilities and stats were displayed:

Omer quickly began distributing the points. He prioritized increasing his strength, speed, and defense. The distribution became:

Defense: 20 Renewed and empowered, he gripped his dagger tightly. His eyes gleamed with deadly determination. He was ready for the final battle against Galadriel
