Katie was drowned in a world of black.Her entire senses entered a lull state as she completely succumbed to the allure of sleep… no, it wasn’t really sleep.She was simply unconscious.Surprisingly, her entire self seemed to be perfectly awake. She realized the world she was currently in, was a vast, empty space filled with nothing but darkness.Finally, the black curtain hanging around her slowly began to lift and instead of the absolute blindness that enveloped her, the area turned grey.Black and white colors glittered around Katie as she opened her eyes.Looking around her, she could somewhat tell what kind of plane she was in. The girl wasn’t in the realm of reality, at least not yet. This was simply a dream—a lucid one.The way her thoughts trailed as she observed her surrounding made her completely recognize the scene.It was a hospital ward.A girl lay on the bed, a life support machine by her side. The constant beeps of the device kept ringing in the room—having intervals be
Katie remained frozen.Sweat dripped from her trembling body as tiny squeaks could be heard from her.For someone who had not seen the outside world in years to be greeted with this sight of horror in mere minutes… it was beyond traumatic.[Danger!]A System Alert suddenly popped as she got a closer visual of the monster.Then… the next thing she experienced was a System Window.[System Information]-Name: Sin Eater Spawn-Level: 3-Race: Demon (Lesser) – Grade: 1-Age: 29 days[Stats]-HP: 130-MP: - --Strength: 45-Agility: 90-Vitality: 60-Intelligence: 10[Status Condition]-Ignores bystanders and focuses on predetermined targets.[End Of Information]It was as if her brain would explode.Katie knew her current Stats were barely on the average Level since she had already checked. Not only was this monster superior to her in Stats, but the terror it exuded was even too great for the girl to think of fighting.In essence, this was the end of the line!For a few moments,
Katie could only see the legs of the one who moved closer to her thanks to the state she was currently in.Her head was flat on the ground, helplessly transfixed on a single location.Judging by the tight pants that clung to the intruder’s legs, and his well-furnished boots, this person was human.“Don’t push yourself…” A voice suddenly sounded, making the girl suddenly feel at ease, instead of fear.“You should rest…”Katie’s eyes felt heavier than expected, and she slowly began giving in to the allure of sleep that had gotten stronger.If the girl didn’t know any better, she would think the voice—at least the owner—was actually the one inducing this. Her consciousness faded, and Lily melted away into her sleep.Seeing that the girl was already unconscious, the mysterious figure knelt before her and carried her unmoving figure.Met with no resistance, the figure—like that of an adult man—took Katie’s smaller body on his shoulder and began walking away.His dark cloak swung in respon

SHOP had three major functions.The Grand Store was one section where one bought items.The Selling Area was the place where Gifted sold their stuff to the System in exchange for Karma Points.Then the Auction Zone was where Gifted could put up their items for display and also see the items of other Gifted who did the same. As a result, people could buy from other people in exchange for Karma Points or Specific Items.Since it was all being monitored by the System… there was no room to swindle!It was as a result of this feature, and the fact that Gifted could use it with such ease, that would make everyone's life in his hell just barely bearable. Food, clothing, items, whatever a person required could be found there!However, one factor existed that nearly turned that hope into despair-Karma Points!Karma Points, which were completely useless in Tutorials, were granted to Gifted for completing tasks. For example, if a person killed his first Demon, or killed a whole bunch at once, Ka
The world completely changed ever since Christmas Day.Humans suddenly received Special Abilities, also known as Gifts, and a System to regulate their capabilities. If it only ended there, then one could have thought of the change as a good thing. Perhaps people would dub it a 'miracle'.Unfortunately, with these special powers… came consequences.The horror known as Demons emerged!It has been six months since then. The world that once knew even a semblance of peace had been plunged into the depths of chaos. The sky could barely maintain its wonderfully bright color and had already begun to dull.The air was heavy, and the stench of death could be found in every corner. Was this Hell on Earth? Perhaps… or maybe it was just a prelude for what would be coming…-----------------------------------------------------------[WELCOME TO THE THIRD ARC: RISE OF THE HOARDER]{Date: June 26th (6 Months After The 'Christmas Miracle'}Time Left Until The Arrival Of The Horsemen: 3 Months, 6 Weeks,
Leah silently moved across the Hallway with moderate speed, as using too much would deplete her vitality, and she had to save a lot for the fight to come.As a Thief, the girl also doubled as the scout of her Party. Since only she could make use of both [Camouflage] and [Sneak] Skills, it was certain that this sort of job could only be done by her.It was dangerous, sure, especially considering the fact that this was 'The Abandoned Tower'. Still, she could stride within it with at least some degree of confidence. It was because of the fact that the Return Stone was in her possession.For Leah to have undertaken such a dangerous venture, it was only natural for her to have been given such a resource, despite how expensive it was. Even if she encountered any form of insurmountable danger, the Thief could always return to the Starting Point with her life intact.This way, there was little to no risk attached to her mission.Of course, Leah had no intention of needlessly using the Return
