Second Tide
The sky split open at dawn. A deep, thunderous crack echoed across Qingyun City as jagged white lines spread wider than before. Blue system panels flashed in every survivor’s vision at once. [Second Monster Tide begins now.] [Duration: 24 hours.] [Monster levels increased. Spawn rate increased.] [Survive. Grow. Ascend.] Li Ming opened his eyes the moment the announcement hit. He was already moving. He left the textile factory anchor at a steady run, short sword at his hip, Mana Shield ready in his mind. The city woke to chaos almost instantly. Resident monsters that had been hiding surged out in greater numbers, joined by fresh waves pouring through the cracks above. Screams rose everywhere. He headed straight for the school district. Azure Fang had prepared. Barricades of cars, furniture, and scrap metal ringed the area. Torches burned. Guards stood shoulder to shoulder with spears and shields. Captain Luo stood at the center, spear raised, shouting orders. “Hold the line!
Calm Before the Storm
The final day before the second monster tide passed in a blur of calculated violence. Li Ming moved like a ghost through Qingyun City’s edges. He struck Azure Fang patrols at unpredictable times, sometimes at dawn, sometimes deep in the night. He never fought fair. He waited until they were distracted by monsters, then appeared just long enough to wound key fighters and vanish. By midday, Azure Fang had lost another twelve members to injuries or death. Captain Luo stopped sending large groups out. Instead, she pulled almost everyone back behind reinforced barricades around the school district. The dungeon door stood guarded by twenty elite fighters now, but no one dared enter it anymore. Li Ming watched from a distant rooftop as Luo addressed her remaining forces. Her voice carried clearly across the field. “We stop chasing shadows. When the tide hits tomorrow, we hold the school district. Use the dungeon only if we have no choice. Conserve potions. Conserve strength. The real en
Blood and Calculations
Li Ming spent the following day moving between his two Throne Anchors like a shadow. He hit the Abandoned Warehouse dungeon one more time at first light, pushing the monsters to Level 9–12. The clear was smoother than ever. He finished the guardian with a combination of Mana Shield and Spiked Charge, absorbing another major plating fragment. His level climbed to 32, and his stats continued their steady climb. Strength: 82 Agility: 61 Vitality: 64 The Throne felt heavier now, like it was growing teeth. Between runs, he watched Azure Fang. The guild had pulled back from aggressive scouting after yesterday’s ambush. They kept most of their fighters close to the school district, reinforcing barricades and posting double guards around the dungeon door. Captain Luo was smarter than the Qingyun Kings, she didn’t send large parties out blindly anymore. Instead, she sent small, fast teams of four or five to patrol the immediate area. Li Ming used that caution against them. He picked t
The Hunt Begins
Li Ming didn’t sleep that night. He stayed at the textile factory anchor, sharpening the short sword with a piece of scrap metal while listening to the distant sounds of Azure Fang scrambling. Shouts carried on the wind, orders to double patrols, calls for healers, angry arguments about the “ghost kid” who had appeared and disappeared like smoke. By morning, the school district was on high alert. Li Ming moved before sunrise. He circled wide around the sports field, staying in the industrial ruins where fewer eyes watched. His new level and passives made him faster and quieter than ever. He killed three lone scuttlers on the way, absorbing small fragments without slowing down. He needed to see how they would react. From a half-collapsed rooftop two blocks away, he watched the school gate. Azure Fang had tripled the guards. Captain Luo stood in the center of a large group, spear planted, issuing commands. Her voice was sharp. “We treat this as a hostile player now. Not a recruit.
First Blood
Li Ming moved through the night like smoke. He avoided main roads and stuck to rooftops and narrow back alleys where resident shadow wolves and scuttlers roamed in small packs. His new stats and passives made him nearly silent. The Scout Mapping fragment helped him remember every turn he had taken over the past days. Azure Fang had tightened security around the school district. Torches burned at regular intervals along the fence. Guards patrolled in pairs. But they still hadn’t figured out how to stop the bleeding inside their precious dungeon. Li Ming reached a low building overlooking the sports field and crouched behind a broken water tank. Forty-two meters from the dungeon door. Perfect range. Captain Luo was there again, directing a new team of seven well-equipped fighters. They carried better weapons than before, spears, short swords, and even one shield. All of them wore crude leather armor. “Stay tight,” Luo ordered. “Fight as a unit. No heroics. We clear this thing
First Warning
Li Ming spent the next two days in a careful rhythm.He ran the Abandoned Warehouse dungeon once more at dawn on the second day, pushing the monsters to Level 8–11. The clears were becoming routine now. He finished the guardian in under four minutes, absorbed another chunk of reinforced plating, and hit Level 25. The reset timer reset again, six days until the next available run.Between resets, he moved like a ghost through Qingyun City’s outskirts. He marked safe routes, killed lone monsters for small gains, and stayed just close enough to Azure Fang’s activities to harvest without being seen.The guild had grown to over one hundred members. They had set up proper barricades around the school district and posted guards near the dungeon door twenty-four hours a day. Their leader, who Li Ming had learned was called Captain Luo, was smart. She rotated teams, limited losses, and started sending scouts to map other potential dungeons in the city.But they still couldn’t clear the warehou
