    The Tyrant Crusher let out one final, weak rattle from its throat before the Phantom Bladewright drove all four energy rapiers deep into its forehead. The glowing energy blades hissed as they cut through bone and muscle, instantly neutralizing the alpha threat. The giant monster’s red veins stopped glowing, losing their angry crimson light, and its massive body went completely stiff. A second later, the entire corpse dissolved into a huge pile of black ash that scattered across the concrete floor.Lain fell to his knees, gasping for air as the adrenaline finally left his system. He leaned heavily on his metal tool, his hands shaking from exhaustion. In front of his face, the blue system screen flashed with massive green words, accompanied by a triumphant chime inside his head.Sector Alpha Boss defeated.

    The Tyrant Crusher took a heavy step forward, the concrete floor groaning under its immense weight. The red veins across its bloated chest pulsed with a sickening light, illuminating the narrow corridor just enough for Lain to see the massive iron hammer arm lifting toward the ceiling."Run back toward the stadium gate!" Lain yelled, his voice cutting through the ringing echoes of the monster's roar. "Leo, Mavis, get out of this corridor right now!""We can't leave you!" Leo shouted back, but Lain grabbed his shoulder and shoved him hard toward the exit tunnel."You will only get crushed here," Lain said, his eyes never leaving the giant boss. "The ceiling is too low for it to swing properly, but it will flatten us if we stay grouped together. Go!"Mavis grabbed Leo's arm, her face completely pale under the red sky glowing through the high windows. "He is right, Leo. We are in the way of his helpers. Move!"The two survivors sprinted back down the corridor, their flashlights bounce-fl

    The Quad-Hook Slasher lunged forward, its four iron hooks cutting through the air with a sharp whistling sound. Lain threw himself to the left, his shoulder hitting the hard concrete wall as the monster’s claws tore a deep gash into the front of his jacket."Get back!" Leo shouted, grabbing Mavis by her jacket and pulling her behind a row of concrete pillars.The level-four mutant turned its head, its white eyes locking back onto Lain as it prepared to swing its upper arms again."Iron Blade, block him!" Lain commanded, his fingers tapping his screen.The sleek metal helper intercepted the strike, its long blades clashing against the monster’s iron hooks with a loud metallic ring. Sparks flew in the dark corridor, illuminating the mutant's grotesque, twitching face for a split second.The Slasher was incredibly fast, using its lower two arms to strike the Iron Blade's torso while its upper hooks kept the blades busy. CLANG. CLANG. The heavy blows dented the helper's sleek armor, pushi

  • Chapter 7: Human Complications

    The searchlights on top of the stadium wall went completely dark, leaving only the red glow of the sky to light the street. Screams erupted from inside the sports arena as loud gunshots started firing in rapid succession behind the high concrete walls."The gate is opening!" Leo yelled, pointing at the massive steel bars sliding sideways with a loud mechanical screech.A group of twenty people ran out of the stadium in total panic, dropping bags of food and extra ammunition onto the road as they fled. Behind them, three men dressed in matching gray jackets were firing rifles into the crowd, treating the unarmed survivors like target practice."Get the supplies and shoot anyone who turns back!" a man with a scarred face shouted into a megaphone from the back of a pickup truck.Lain recognized the scarred man immediately from his system’s local data log. It was Bryan, the ruthless gang leader who had taken over the sector's main supply depots right after the cosmic flash hit."They are

    The dark alley led them to a narrow side street covered in gray ash. Lain stopped behind a rusted green dumpster to check his blue screen, his breath coming in short, ragged gasps."My tool is completely broken," Leo said, dropping the bent metal pipe onto the cracked asphalt with a dull clang. "If another group of those monsters finds us, I am completely useless.""Take a deep breath," Lain said, his fingers tapping the glowing air in front of his face.Current Points: 150Zombie Inventory: 2/3 slots filledMaterials: Tyrant Virus Core (Rare), Chemical Catalyst, Advanced Medical Kit"Lain, look at the Spiked Guard's status box," Mavis whispered, leaning over his shoulder to point at a flashing orange icon. "The system says it has reached maximum normal experience from the street fight."Lain clicked the icon, and a new menu popped up, showing a picture of his stone-skinned helper inside a glowing test tube.Evolution Available: Spiked Guard (Lv. 5) can evolve using one Rare Material

  • Chapter 5: Scavenge Run

    The Iron Blade Vanguard moved like a perfectly calibrated machine, its long metal arms slicing through the monsters filling the shattered doorway. Black blood sprayed across the floor tiles, staining the white linoleum as Lain, Leo, and Mavis ran behind a heavy checkout counter for safety. The smell of rotting flesh and hot oil filled the small grocery store, making Leo cough as he held his breath."Keep your heads down," Lain yelled, staying close to the metal helper to closely monitor its flashing health bar on his interface.Iron Blade Vanguard (Lv. 4) Health: 90%Daily Task Progress: 25 minutes remainingA fast zombie with long legs slipped past the helper’s swinging blades, its jaws snapping wildly as it lunged straight at Lain's chest. Lain shifted his weight onto his back foot and swung his heavy metal tool hard, striking the monster's neck until it dropped onto the floor with a wet thud.Enemy defeated. +10 points.
