"Stay close to me," Raka whispered.

The automatic doors of the Walled City's main Coliseum lobby opened with a hiss of high-pressure air. Raka stepped inside, followed by Luna who remained alert and Baginda who walked with a haughty strut as if he were the owner of the place.

Raka noticed the floor made of black marble polished to reflect shadows, and along the walls, pillars of light displayed the statistics of the top fighters.

    "Stay close to me," Raka whispered.The automatic doors of the Walled City's main Coliseum lobby opened with a hiss of high-pressure air. Raka stepped inside, followed by Luna who remained alert and Baginda who walked with a haughty strut as if he were the owner of the place.Raka noticed the floor made of black marble polished to reflect shadows, and along the walls, pillars of light displayed the statistics of the top fighters.Raka then looked down at himself. He was only wearing a dull shirt torn at the shoulder, jeans full of oil stains, and a grimy barista apron he found in the warehouse ruins the other day. At his waist, tucked a rusty cement trowel.Around him, other System Users looked like heroes from a fantasy comic. There was a man in glowing gold armor, a woman in a fur cloak continuously emitting sparks, and a group of muscular men with giant swords on their backs.

  • Chapter 118: The Noisy Walled City

    "What the hell is this? A music concert in the middle of the apocalypse?" Raka shouted, his hands trembling on the steering wheel due to the sudden sound shock.The Toxic Goosetruck roared past the damp steel gate tunnel, and at that very moment, the silent world that had been enveloping Raka's escape exploded into a cacophony that assaulted all his senses.Raka's ears were hit by the thumping of high-volume techno music echoing between the concrete walls. Purple and yellow neon lights clung to every building pillar, emitting a blinding light that made the purple fog outside earlier feel like a children's playground."Welcome to the new civilization, Raka!" Vanya's voice was heard from the intercom, this time without a cynical tone. "Look at the monitor! The electromagnetic frequency here is very dense. They have an independent electrical transmitter!"Raka slowed down his tru

  • Chapter 117: Gladiator's Invitation

    BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!A high-pitched alarm sound exploded right in the center of Raka's nervous system. It didn't come from the outside, but rather from inside his own skull.Raka jolted violently, his head hitting the steering wheel ofThe Toxic Goosetruck with a loud thud."Argh! My ears! System, lower the volume!" Raka shouted, clutching his head with both hands.Inside the cramped cabin, Baginda was also startled and flapped his wings wildly, while Luna immediately drew her knife, her eyes watchfully sweeping every inch of The Hive's city wall ahead of them.[System: GLOBAL WARNING! Entering Content Sovereignty Territory!][System: PvP (Player vs Player) AREA DETECTED! WELCOME TO THE ARENA, MY BELOVED CONTENTS!]"PvP?" Raka hissed, his breathing heavy. "Vanya! Did you hear that alarm too?!"Vanya crawled qui

  • Chapter 116: Out of the Fog

    "Luna! Step on the gas until we are out of their sensor range!" Raka shouted.The white flare in the sky slowly dimmed, but the thousands of blue eyes in the valley below grew even brighter. Blinking in rhythm with the mechanical heartbeat in Raka's chest.The Toxic Goosetruck roared wildly, its off-road tires throwing sharp pebbles as Luna slammed the steering wheel past the final corner at the top of the slope.Suddenly, the world seemed to explode in a painful golden color."My eyes! Damn it, Vanya! I'm blind!" Raka covered his face with his left hand, while his right hand clutched the plate on his chest.After hours of being trapped in the suffocating dimness of the purple fog, their truck finally broke through the outer boundary of the Hallucinogen Zone.The genuine morning sunlight, and not the luminescence of spores, hit the win

  • Chapter 115: The Admin's Confession

    "Ten thousand beats... It feels like being given spare change to buy a life at a near-bankrupt grocery store," Raka muttered. His voice sounded hoarse.He sat limply at the edge of the rear door of the ruined The Toxic Goose truck bed. His legs dangled outside, occasionally the tips of his shoes scraping against the cracked toll road asphalt with the vehicle's jolts.Before him, the sea of purple fog that had once claimed his sanity began to recede down the slope, looking like a puddle of poison starting to fade, swept away by the dawn wind.The truck moved slowly but steadily. In the front cabin, Luna sat behind the wheel. Her sharp eyes stared at the ascending path, while Baginda curled up in the passenger seat beside her.Luna took over the role of driver because she knew Raka could barely lift his own hands after the brutal dialysis process from Vanya."Still alive back there, Guinea Pig?" Vanya's voice broke the silence, sounding from behind her messy laboratory table inside the

  • Chapter 114: In Raka's Brain

    "GIVE IT BACK TO ME!"Raka suddenly went berserk. Not from pain anymore, but from a hunger for the poison. He struggled so hard that the truck seat creaked, trying to snap the zip ties on his wrists."Vanya, give me that purple coffee! I can see them! I can see our audience! They like me! Give me more!"Raka babbled, his eyes staring wildly at the empty air, saliva dripping from the corner of his lips.Raka, who had always tried to be rational and sarcastic, now looked so pathetic. He was no longer the 'Captain' who defeated monsters. He was nothing more than an addict who had lost his mind for one more dose.Baginda, sitting on the rear dashboard, hid in fear upon hearing its master's roars. The goose had never seen Raka in this condition.Luna couldn't bear to watch it anymore.The mute girl stood up and approached Raka. She didn't carr
