Klaus couldn't stop smiling as he glued to his smartphone screen. Ever since the conquest of the yellow dungeon in South Houston, the name Rays of Hope has been featured in various media outlets. Justin as the guild master became a trending topic on social media. Every news site made his battered face the front cover. And even news stations didn't stop covering the Rays of Hope headquarters. Thanks to that, Justin kept himself busy with reporters for the past seven days. Klaus made this…-

Tensions were rising between Vincent and Klaus, but the people around them didn't notice, only the Awakeners from both guilds. "If there's anything you want to tell, just say it, Mister. We're in a hurry," Klaus said. His words sounded friendly but the look in his eyes was deep. Vincent glanced at the battered-looking members of the Rays of Hope guild. "They look a mess, but I think they can wait a little longer. Instead of looking badly injured from fighting monsters, they look like people who have…

The rift scene was bustling. Clicks echoed as cameras spouted white light. Even as police and military personnel stood guard on each side, dozens of reporters swarmed like flies, trying to capture images of the rift in the sky. Several news station helicopters flew around it to cover the condition of the city after the dungeon break. Bad news was good news. They were waiting for more information to choose the right headlines though there might be many dead awakeners. While the reporters were busy…

A notification appeared on the smartlink. But Klaus ignored it. "Looks like I'm expending too much of my power," Klaus muttered. When he turned around, Joanna ran over and hugged him. Her eyes sparkled as she looked into his eyes. "What was that Klaus?! That was so cool. It was whuzzzzz, then wheezzz, and boom! That's amazing!" Joanna couldn't stop gushing. She was in complete awe, jumping up and down. Meanwhile, Justin and Olvia were still dumbfounded. They had never seen such a powerful force.…

Fear began to consume Noah as he saw dozens of his men die. The long-armed monsters killed them like flies, while the survivors tried to run for their lives. "Hey! Don't run!" Noah shouted but no one seemed to care. The man didn't realize that he was the only one in the middle of the battle. He stood alone amidst the corpses of his men. When he looked around, a giant creature was standing in front of him. Its eyes glowed red in the darkness. Noah was stunned in fear, trembling, and his knees felt…

Smartphone beeps reverberated in a dim hotel room. On a large spring bed, an athletic man and a completely naked woman sleep under the blanket. With his eyes still closed, the man fumbled with the table. Putting the phone to his ear, the man growled as he picked up the call. "It's 3am. Why are you calling me?" "Boss Vincent, there's a dungeon break in South of Houston, it's yellow." Vincent clicked his tongue. "You called me just for this. Are you fucking kidding me? Without you telling me I'll raid…

Horror. That's what the awakeners felt as they first stepped into the dungeon. The lifeless landscape spread out before them like a desolate wasteland, empty and devoid of all signs of life. There were no trees, no plants, and no animals to be seen, only a vast expanse of dusty earth and rock that seemed to stretch on forever. It was a place of eerie quiet, where the only sound was the howling of the wind as it swept across the land. The sky above was a sickly shade of black, the moon a dim, distant…

In less than twenty-four hours, police cars and yellow lines bordered the rift scene on the streets of SoHo. Police officers guarded the perimeter, and hundreds of awakeners gathered under the night sky. Blending in with the hundreds of other awakeners, Klaus and his guild members prepared to enter the dungeon after resting for 12 hours. They needed to wait for the police to evacuate the civilians living in the surrounding area. While the other members were busy making preparations, Klaus, dressed in…

Creak. The ice covering their bodies broke, and a thud echoed as they fell to the floor. Those two women finally stopped fighting, but their sour faces said that they still couldn't move on. Klaus was quite surprised to see Sylvia involved in a fight. The red-haired woman was not the type to cause trouble, instead she was a low-key person. If she got into trouble, something must have triggered her. However, Klaus couldn't rush to accuse Olivia without learning the facts. "Klaus!" Turning his head,…

The name was Olivia Winston. She was the only child of a wealthy businesswoman and single mother, Julia Winston, the same woman who befriended Anna Lee. Olivia lived a well-off life, and all her wishes could be granted with just one word. However, growing up in a world where monsters existed meant that the girl had to live away from the hustle and bustle of the city and social life, in a place where dungeon breaks never happened. She never even had a formal education other than homeschooling; as a…
