Chapter 21: The Green Hell
[Sector C - The Marshlands]The heavy cargo elevator groaned as it hit the bottom floor. The steel cage rattled, and the gates slowly retracted.Immediately, the heat hit them.It wasn't the dry, scorching heat of the explosions in Sector D. It was a wet, suffocating blanket of humidity. The air smelled of sulfur, rotting fish, and ancient, stagnant mud."Ugh," Sarah gagged, covering her nose. "It smells like a sewer."Alex stepped out first. His boots sank slightly into the mossy metal grating of the walkway."Mask on," Alex ordered, his voice distorted by his helmet. "The System is picking up neurotoxins in the fog."[Environmental Warning: Toxic Miasma][Effect: Reduces Stamina regeneration by 50%. Causes hallucinations after long exposure.][Passive: Hyper-Regeneration is countering the toxin.]Sarah quickly pulled a gas mask from her pack (looted from the Mercenaries) and strapped it on. Her breathing sounded loud and rasping in the quiet

Chapter 22: Blood in the Water
[Sector C - The Open Bayou] VRRRRRRRRR! The massive fan blade behind them screamed like a jet engine. The tactical airboat skimmed over the black water at 80 km/h, bouncing violently over submerged logs and mud banks. "Slow down!" Sarah yelled, gripping the roll cage with white knuckles. "We're going to flip!" "We can't!" Alex shouted back, his eyes fixed on the misty horizon. "We woke up the neighbors!" Behind them, cutting through the fog like sharks, were three distinct V-shaped wakes. The roar of high-performance engines echoed across the swamp. [Enemy Detected: The River Corsairs] [Vehicles: Modified Jet Skis (x3), Armored Patrol Boat (x1)] [Faction: Sector C Hunters] These weren't just random survivors. They were a gang that had specialized in this aquatic hell. Th

Chapter 23: The City of Lies
[Sector B - Underground Drainage System]The airboat bumped gently against a concrete ledge.Alex cut the engine. The roar of the fan died down, replaced by a low, rhythmic thrumming sound coming from above. Like the heartbeat of a giant machine."We leave the boat here," Alex said, securing the vessel to a rusted ladder. "From this point on, we are not soldiers. We are ghosts."They climbed the long, vertical shaft. The air grew warmer and drier. The smell of swamp rot faded, replaced by the scent of frying oil, ozone, and cheap synthetic perfume.Alex pushed open a heavy manhole cover at the top.Use of light flooded down. Not sunlight—neon light.They climbed out and stood in an alleyway.Sarah gasped, her eyes widening behind her visor. "Alex... look."They weren't in a ruin. They were in a metropolis

Chapter 24: Heavy Metal
[Sector B - Warehouse District]The bass was so heavy it rattled Alex’s teeth inside his helmet.THUMP. THUMP. THUMP.They stood before a graffiti-covered warehouse. The windows were painted black, vibrating with the noise of industrial death metal. Above the door, a holographic skull rotated, its eyes dripping virtual blood.[Location: Iron Skulls HQ] [Threat Level: High] [Enemy Type: Combat Androids (Class-3 Modifications)]"It's loud," Sarah yelled over the noise, checking her AK-47. "Do we knock?"Alex drew his HF Plasma Cutter. The red blade ignited with a menacing hum."We crash the party."Alex kicked the steel door.[Strength +10]BANG!The double doors flew off their hinges, cartwheeling into the room and crushing a robotic guard standing behind them.Last Updated : 2026-01-04Read more

Chapter 25: The Gatekeeper
[Sector B - Central Plaza]The path to the Upper District wasn't hidden. It was a monolith.In the center of the neon-lit plaza stood a massive, glass-tube elevator that pierced the smog clouds, disappearing into the darkness above.Surrounding it was a "Kill Zone"—a pristine white circle of pavement that no robot or scavenger dared to cross.Alex and Sarah walked into the circle. The noise of the city died instantly. The holographic ads froze. The street crowds watched in silence from the edges."It's too quiet," Sarah whispered, gripping her AK-47."He's watching," Alex said, looking up.High above, a point of light descended. It wasn't a drone.It was a man. Or what was left of one.He floated down on anti-gravity thrusters mounted to his back. His armor was sleek, white porcelain trimmed with gold. He didn't touch the ground; he hovered two meters in the air, looking down at them with glowing blue eyes.[Boss Encounter: The Sentinel (Cyborg Type-S)] [Affiliation: Alice’s Personal

Chapter 26: The Banquet of Beasts
[Sector A - The Golden Spire gardens] The elevator doors slid open with a soft chime. The air that hit them wasn't smog or swamp gas. It smelled of jasmine, expensive champagne, and ozone-scrubbed purity. They stepped onto polished white marble. Manicured hedges formed geometric mazes, adorned with fountains that sprayed sparkling water. Beyond the gardens, the Golden Spire rose majestically, its glass facade reflecting the artificial twilight stretching endlessly above the clouds. It was paradise. "It makes me sick," Sarah whispered. She looked down at her hands. They were clean now, but she still felt the phantom sensation of mud and blood. Last Updated : 2026-01-05Read more

Chapter 27: The Perfect Monster
[Sector A - Private Elevator Lobby]They left the opulent ballroom behind, slipping into a discrete service corridor that Prince Mateo had subtly indicated with a nod.The corridor ended at a private, gold-plated elevator doors. There were no buttons, only a biometric scanner."This is it," Alex said. The holographic illusion of the tuxedo flickered and faded, revealing the scarred black armor underneath. He ripped off the holographic mask and crushed it. "No more hiding."Sarah did the same, shedding the elegant gown to reveal her tactical gear and the AK-47 strapped to her chest. She looked nervous. Her hands were shaking slightly as she checked the magazine."Are you ready?" Alex asked, his voice low and rough.Last Updated : 2026-01-05Read more

Chapter 28: The Trap Door
[Sector A - The Penthouse]Alex stood in the center of the white room, blood dripping from his armor onto the pristine carpet. The Plasma Cutter hummed in his hand.Alice sat on the sofa, swirling her wine. She didn't look terrified. She looked... bored."You're late," she repeated, taking a sip. "I expected you five minutes ago. The Chimera must have been sluggish today.""Get up," Alex pointed the plasma blade at her. "Disable the island's defenses. Now."Alice smiled. It was a cold, mechanical smile."You think you won, don't you? You climbed the tower. You killed the dragon. You saved the princess." She glanced at Sarah. "So cliché.""I said get up

Chapter 29: The Grave of Ships
[Sector Zero - The Underground Sea] [Depth: -4200 Meters]Cold. Bone-deep, paralyzing cold.That was the first thing Alex felt. It wasn't the wind of the fall anymore; it was the damp, stagnant chill of a tomb.He sat on a jagged rock, wringing the seawater out of his black hair. His Class-B Combat Armor was battered, the chest plate cracked from the impact, the circuitry dead."System," Alex rasped. "Shop."...Silence. ...Static.[System Alert: Connection to Main Server Lost.] [Shop Function: OFFLINE.] [Map Data: UNAVAILABLE.] [Current Status: Isolated.]"Great," Alex muttered. The lifeline was cut. No more buying ammo. No more buying medicine.He looked over at Sarah. She was huddled against a large piece of rusted metal, her teeth chattering violently. Her lips were turning blue. Hypothermia was setting in fast."Alex..." she stammered, her eyes unfocused. "I... I can't feel my fingers.""Get up," Alex stood. His own body was burning calories at a terrifying rate to keep him warm a

Chapter 30: The Siege in the Dark
[Sector Zero - Wreckage of the Krasny]Scritch. Scratch. BANG.The noise wasn't coming from the hallway anymore. It was coming from everywhere. The walls. The ceiling. The floor.Inside the captain's quarters, the only light came from the dying fire of burning mattresses. The orange glow flickered weakly, casting dancing shadows that looked like monsters."Alex," Sarah whispered, adding another piece of rotting uniform to the flames. Her hands were black with soot. "The fire is dying. We’re running out of fuel.""Keep it alive," Alex stood in the center of the room, his Combat Knife held in a reverse grip. "Tear up the floorboards if you have to."CREAAAK.The steel plate over the ventilation duct in the ceiling began to bend inward. Something incredibly strong was pushing against it."They're coming through the vents!" Sarah screamed.CLANG!The vent cover popped off and crashed to the floor.Immediately, a pale, hairless body dropped into the room. It landed in a crouch, its spine t
