Two hours have passed since Alex was buried under the rocky ground, his body nearly exhausted. His legs were pinned down by the rocks, and the injuries sustained earlier were now worsening. If he hadn't quickly drawn a protective barrier to stop everything, his head might have been crushed by now. Blood oozed, clouding his mind, almost making his recollection of his previous life a blurry dream.In this life, would he die more senselessly than before? The thought made Alex appear colder. Eventually, he fell into a near-silent state, gazing at his watch—it was 7 PM, but the rescue team's sound hadn't reached him yet. It seemed they either couldn't find a clue to locate him, or they were still blocked by the thick layer of rock outside.At this moment, what stood between Alex and freedom was just a rock—not small, but not too large either. He could have easily kicked this rock away if he were uninjured and had enough strength. However, the current situation offered no escape."A
Alex's car swiftly moved along the road, almost non-stop day and night. After four days, he finally reached the Mysticus region. Alex looked at the thick fog in front of him with a serious expression. Whether it was due to his deep thoughts or not, this fog seemed thicker than he remembered.However, Alex couldn't afford to prolong his time; he had to get into this place as quickly as possible. Alex's car penetrated the fog, and the headlights couldn't pierce through it. Everything seemed even more mysterious and unpredictable in the dim light. Alex even mentally prepared himself to encounter a monster or something suddenly jumping out of the fog to attack him.But it seemed like luck was on his side. He managed to pass through the fog without any hindrance. Alex couldn't help but exhale, feeling like he had been overly anxious.However, as the car approached the city center, Alex realized that his concern might not be unreasonable.In the sky above the Mysticus region's city
Michael severed the connection, and Vanessa immediately scoffed before also cutting off the communication. The government president couldn't help but sigh, waving his hand, saying, "Alright, you two quickly go handle your own affairs."The remaining two also cut off contact as soon as he finished speaking. The government president looked deeply at the virtual screen in front of him, where the images were being projected—a post that Alex had uploaded.00:27:38:07Time continued to pass without any signs of stopping, but it seemed like there weren't many people paying attention to it anymore. Many people were still bustling on the streets, some finishing their work while others were just starting their shifts.Alex remained seated on the stone bench, and his position didn't change even a bit. He wore a dark blue hoodie, light-colored jeans, and white sneakers, with a bag slung over his shoulder, resembling a student. Indeed, he was only 17 years old.At this moment, a sudden voice
The sound of tall trees being violently felled echoed loudly, prompting others to quickly turn around.Only a haze of dust was visible, with trees in the distance falling, indicating that something terrifying was heading their way!The man who seemed to be leading the group almost instantly shouted, "Run!" Others, almost instinctively, lifted their feet and ran out of the dense forest. Fear and panic filled their faces.Tears streamed down some faces as they desperately tried to run forward. Yes, the A-level monster seemed terrifying, but they still had one chance! If they could survive for ten days, they would escape this place! This hope seemed to ignite a spark in everyone; they ran a little faster.However, they were still too slow compared to that monstrous creature. "Boom!" A thunderous sound echoed as something toppled the trees behind them. A large tree with a massive trunk fell directly, causing the tiny humans to scream and scatter. Some were too slow and were crushe
The sky plunged into darkness, leaving only the frantic countdown numbers; the air became increasingly tense, with no way out. Under the vault of the dungeon in Mystica, Alex sat in his usual spot, his gaze fixed on the top of the door frame, where the current number displayed was 03/10.Only three survivors remained, and the rate of destruction was no different from that of a Level A dungeon. Perhaps, in the early stages, for ordinary people, the dungeon level meant nothing. Regardless of entering any dungeon, death awaited them.At this moment, those who had been frenzied and violent seemed to have fallen silent. They sat slumped on the ground, tears flowing like rain. Those outside fared no better; many had returned to their homes, trembling under their blankets. However, they couldn't forget what the news had reported.Without someone entering the dungeon to complete the mission, the monsters inside would overflow and massacre the entire city! Imagining the monsters they ha
The man on the ground had barely time to react when the F-class monsters rushed towards him like hungry wolves. The creatures swarmed him, burying the man beneath them. They used their sharp fangs to bite and tear at him or employed their elongated proboscises to suck the blood and flesh from the man.As they dispersed, the man who had been screaming and pleading just moments ago was now reduced to a scattered pile of bones.The events unfolded so rapidly not even 10 seconds had passed; it was truly terrifying.Others could only see a dizzying spectacle. Some were so frightened that they collapsed, some vomited, and others, unable to endure, quickly fled towards the hilltop. The desperate screams and agonizing cries echoed everywhere, accompanied by the sounds of gulping and the shattering of bones.Those monsters roared triumphantly, chasing after those who fled towards the hilltop. Soon, they would reach the summit.The man who had been sitting on the ground witnessed this scen
Two weeks had passed, and during these days, major newspapers across the continent were frantically updating their news. And the main news, of course, was about the dungeons.Even more so, it was about the mysterious figure who had written the article predicting the dungeon explosion. It must be said that the article had many useful points, and the entire continent should be grateful to that person. However, deep down, people still harbored a lot of doubts and fears.The dungeons in Mystica, the earliest completed dungeon, were featured in the press, along with the mysterious teenager who single-handedly completed the dungeon task. Moreover, this teenager was still in Mystica. Combined with the mysterious post being made in Mystica, those in power were suspicious that this teenager was behind the article.However, ordinary people were unaware of this, as they quickly became attracted to something else. That something else was the completion of an A-rank dungeon in Celestria!This
Alex had just left the auction house when he found himself enveloped in a chaotic crowd with ear-piercing screams echoing everywhere. People were rushing and pushing each other, but Alex, being agile, swiftly maneuvered through the crowd, going in the opposite direction of the fleeing masses.It wasn't until he passed through the crowd that he finally saw what caused such fear and chaos. It was a gate. The gate stood tall in its place, and a countdown had already begun on top of it.23:57:45:03.There was one more day; this dungeon would open. However, people were still so frightened that they immediately ran away.Even those who were about to pass through this path instinctively turned and chose a different route.For a moment, within a radius of five meters around the gate, there was not a single soul.Alex: "..."It seemed people had not yet recovered from the shock of those early days. For these gates, a deep fear was ingrained in their minds. It might take a long time for o
