"Do you really mean Ziros Nation of all places?" Mark Grayson asked with a slight frown on his face. The very mention of Ziros Nation seemed to send a shiver down his spine. He had heard tales of that place, dark and terrifying stories that made it seem like a land straight out of a nightmare and they are proofs of how dangerous it is everywhere across the world making that place the scarriest.Carson nodded in response, his face grim. He knew what he was asking of his team, and he didn't make the suggestion lightly. "Yes, Ziros Nation. There's no other way,""What! Then this is a bad idea. We can't go there. If we go there, it would be akin to doubling our problems. That place is a nightmare!" Mark Grayson said, raising his voice slightly. He looked around at his fellow hunters, hoping to see agreement in their faces."I agree. We really can't go to that place. After all, even Rank 5 elites have been lost to that place. We don't even know if they died or got taken away by gods know

William arrived at the Storm family’s vicinity after running at a blinding speed for 10 minutes. His feet barely touched the ground as he raced forward, driven by urgency. He knew he had to get there as quickly as possible. The world outside was too dangerous, and every second counted.He now stood before the grand structure of the Storm family mansion. The massive black gate loomed before him, locked and unyielding. The area around him was eerily quiet. Not a single guard or maid was in sight, making the place seem almost abandoned. This silence was unsettling, unlike anything William had seen before. But he understood the reason. The fear of what lurked outside had driven everyone indoors.William reached for the electric bell and rang it. The sharp sound echoed through the still air, almost startling in its suddenness. He knew that this was one of the few devices still working, powered by the mansion’s backup energy supply. As he waited, his mind raced with thoughts of what might b

Inside the beautiful sitting room of the Storm family, the mood became tense as everyone stared at William, worry etched deeply on their faces. The room, usually filled with warmth and light, now felt cold and heavy, the atmosphere thick with unspoken fears. The walls, adorned with family portraits and memories of happier times, seemed to close in on them, making the space feel smaller, almost suffocating.Lady Storm, the matriarch of the family, sat down, trying to relax her back on the soft chair that had always provided comfort. But today, even the plush cushions couldn’t ease the burden she felt. Her expression was far from relaxed; in fact, it was a mirror of the turmoil inside her. Her face, usually composed and dignified, now held a deep sadness as she gazed at William, her eyes brimming with unspoken words. She appeared on the verge of tears, her heart heavy with the weight of the situation.Clarissa, William’s wife, sat beside him, her hands tightly entwined with his. Her gri

At the northern part of the world exists a desolate land of darkness and death called Ziros Nation. In the past few years, the nation has taken on numerous aliases, including the Land of Death, the Dungeon of No Return, the Stealer of Light and Life, and many others. This place is feared by humans who cherish their lives—as well as those who don’t. Even lunatics with a death wish would think twice before choosing to end their lives in a place as terrifying as Ziros Nation.However, not even in humanity’s wildest dreams would they imagine that the only way to end the chaotic apocalypse would be to journey into this endless abyss.The sky above Ziros Nation is a perpetually dark, swirling mass of storm clouds, blotting out any trace of sunlight. Lightning occasionally crackles within the clouds, briefly illuminating the bleak landscape before plunging it back into darkness. The ground below is barren, cracked, and lifeless, with jagged rocks jutting out like the bones of a long-dead cre

William and the hunters had just arrived at Ziros Nation, still standing close to their helicopter. They took a closer look at the desolate landmass spiraling in front of them, their eyes filled with determination. The bleak landscape before them was intimidating, but the hunters had come too far to let fear take hold. The determination they felt wasn't just for the mission at hand; it was for everything they had left behind, for everyone they wanted to protect. They were intent on clearing everything in their path and finding what they had come for. Carson observed the area for a few more minutes, his eyes scanning the horizon with a careful, practiced gaze. The land was eerily silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling through the barren landscape. He took a deep breath, trying to steady his nerves. After a moment, he signaled to William for the map.William, understanding the urgency, nodded and handed the map to him. Carson took it, unwrapped it, and began to study it with

It had been two hours since they arrived. After a brutal pep talk from William, the hunters finally resolved to do whatever it took to end the apocalypse. They were afraid, but they hid their fear at the back of their minds and moved forward with boldness. The weight of their mission hung heavily on them, but the thought of failure was not an option they were willing to entertain. At this moment, the group of 60 hunters could be seen making their way toward the Death Tower that stood gallantly ahead of them. The tower loomed over the landscape, casting a long, ominous shadow that seemed to stretch endlessly. It wasn’t just a building; it was a symbol of the dread they had come to conquer. Every hunter could feel the gravity of the task ahead as they marched forward, the ground beneath them seeming to vibrate with the tension of what was to come.Carson, William, and Mark Grayson stood in front of them with stern looks on their faces. Their expressions were hard, but not without the

Inside the tower, the darkness was oppressive, almost tangible. The only light came from the faintly glowing symbols on the door behind them, casting eerie shadows along the rough stone walls. The hunters hesitated for a moment, their eyes adjusting to the dim light, before pressing forward into the unknown.The passageway was narrow, barely wide enough for two people to walk side by side. The walls seemed to close in on them, and the ceiling was so low that even the shorter hunters had to stoop slightly to avoid brushing their heads against it. The floor was uneven, covered in a thick layer of dust and debris that muffled their footsteps. The only sound was the soft crunch of their boots on the ground, echoing eerily in the confined space. It was as if the tower was absorbing the noise, swallowing it into the depths of its ancient structure.The further they ventured into the passageway, the more they felt the oppressive atmosphere of the tower weighing down on them. The walls see
