The Long Harvest
The third monster tide dragged into its darkest hours. Night had fallen, but the sky remained lit by the unnatural purple glow pouring through the widening cracks. Roars and screams blended into a constant, deafening symphony across Qingyun City. The central square had become a killing field where monsters, Iron Fist, Crimson Blade, and the remnants of Azure Fang tore at one another without mercy. Li Ming had stopped hiding on rooftops. He moved openly along the edges of the battlefield now, always staying within his fifty-meter absorption range. His short sword dripped with black monster blood and occasional human red. He no longer needed to conserve energy. Every death around him replenished him faster than he spent it. A massive spiked lizard charged a group of Iron Fist defenders near the Safe Zone Marker. The brute crushed two men before Li Ming stepped in just close enough. One Mana Bolt to the eye staggered it. A Spiked Charge followed by a precise short sword thrust throug
Third Tide
The third monster tide crashed over Qingyun City at first light. The sky tore open with a deafening crack, wider and angrier than before. Purple light spilled through the fissures as the global announcement boomed in every survivor’s head. [Third Monster Tide begins now.] [Duration: 24 hours.] [Monster levels significantly increased. New variants appearing.] [Survive. Grow. Ascend.] Li Ming was already in motion. He left his textile factory anchor at a full sprint, heading straight for the central square where the guilds had clashed the day before. The golden Safe Zone Marker still glowed under its protective dome, but the surrounding area was chaos waiting to explode. Monsters poured from the cracks in unprecedented numbers — upgraded shadow wolves the size of horses, spiked lizards with armored plates, and new flying horrors with bone wings and venomous tails. The ground trembled under the weight of larger brutes. Iron Fist had fortified the marker heavily. Their war-hammer
Gathering Clouds
Two days passed in a tense hush. The third monster tide was only hours away, and Qingyun City felt like a powder keg ready to explode. Li Ming spent the time methodically. He ran the Abandoned Warehouse dungeon one final time before the tide, pushing the monsters to Level 12–15. The clear was almost effortless now. He emerged stronger, his level reaching 68, with several upgraded passives and a noticeably tougher Mana Shield. He also created a third Throne Anchor, a hidden spot in the ruins between the industrial district and the central square. Three safe respawn points gave him flexibility if things turned ugly during the tide. The guilds were moving too. Iron Fist had fortified their new Safe Zone Marker with the temporary blue dome and resource crates. Their numbers had recovered slightly through desperate recruitment, but the victory had cost them dearly. Their war-hammer leader walked with a limp and barked orders with barely contained rage. Crimson Blade had gone quiet, l
The Marker Falls
The final hours of the Guild Ascension Challenge turned the central square into a graveyard. Iron Fist still clung to the golden marker with thirty-seven battered fighters. Their war-hammer leader was bleeding heavily but refused to yield. Crimson Blade had regrouped and launched wave after wave of coordinated strikes, trying to wear them down. Li Ming watched it all from street level now, moving between piles of rubble and overturned vehicles. He stayed exactly at the edge of his fifty-meter range, never stepping into the main fighting zone unless a monster wandered too close. He didn’t need to fight. The guilds were destroying each other perfectly. A brutal clash erupted near the marker at the three-hour mark. Crimson Blade’s assassins slipped through Iron Fist’s thinning line. Knives flashed. Hammers swung in retaliation. Eight fighters died in under a minute. The Throne drank deeply. [Throne Absorption triggered.] [Absorbed: Assassin’s Precision (Passive Lv.2)] [Absorbed:
The Edge of the Storm
Li Ming stayed on the rooftops surrounding the central square as the Guild Ascension Challenge dragged into the night. The golden marker continued to pulse like a beacon, drawing blood and death in equal measure. Iron Fist currently held it, their war-hammer leader roaring challenges at anyone who approached. Crimson Blade circled like wolves, launching hit-and-run attacks whenever Iron Fist’s formation wavered. Smaller groups darted in hoping for opportunistic kills, only to be cut down. Li Ming moved between three different vantage points, always keeping himself within fifty meters of the heaviest fighting. He never committed to one side. He simply existed at the edge, a silent observer who turned every death into power. By midnight, the square had become a slaughter pit. A Crimson Blade assassin slipped through Iron Fist’s line and planted a blade in the war-hammer leader’s side. The big man roared and crushed the assassin’s skull with a backhand, but the wound was deep. Three
Guild Ascension
The Guild Ascension Challenge began at sunrise. A bright golden marker appeared on the global map, a glowing pillar of light in the central square of Qingyun City, halfway between the school district and the commercial area. The system announcement rang out clearly: [Guild Ascension Challenge active.] [First guild to claim and hold the Safe Zone Marker for 24 continuous hours wins bonus resources and temporary system protection.] [All guilds with 50+ members are eligible.] [Good luck.] Li Ming was already moving. He had left his textile factory anchor before dawn and positioned himself on a rooftop overlooking the central square. Fifty meters from the glowing pillar. Close enough to harvest, far enough to stay out of the initial clash. The square filled quickly. Azure Fang arrived first, exactly fifty-two members now. Captain Luo led them, spear in hand, face set in grim determination. They formed a defensive circle around the marker, shields forward, spears ready.
