While Gaige battled the purgers outside, the shield-protected building provided safety for the five returnees and twelve aliens. None of them had engaged in combat yet, with Gaige single-handedly safeguarding them. However, the constant anxiety had drained their spirits, and they remained vigilant, poised to act at a moment's notice should the shield falter.

As the first night of their seven-day hunt unfolded, they understood that they couldn't solely rely on Gaige; their turn to defend would come when Gaige needed to rest.

"Could he survive fighting alone?" one of Howl's friends asked, reflecting the group's growing concern.

"Boss won't die. He's really strong!" Axel proclaimed confidently.

Howl had overheard them referring to Gaige as their "boss" and couldn't help but wonder why Gaige held such esteem among them. Nevertheless, Gaige's presence provided a morale boost, helping to alleviate the mounting tension.

"Stay vigilant, everyone," Howl reminded them, pointing to the monit

    Gaige's heart raced as he stared at the purger's red shoes, trying to decipher any hidden meaning behind them. The ominous grin on the purger's face sent shivers down his spine, and he couldn't shake the feeling that he was dealing with something far more sinister than the average purger. His grip on the sword hilt tightened, and he instinctively took a step back, putting some distance between himself and the enigmatic purger. The tension in the room was palpable, and Gaige could feel the weight of uncertainty pressing down on him. "Relax, Gaige Feryuson. Why are you so tensed?" The purger's question caught Gaige off guard. "How did you know my name?" he retorted, his voice laced with suspicion. The purger merely snorted in response, an eerie sound that echoed through the room. Gaige's discomfort grew, and he couldn't help but feel that this encounter was different from any he'd faced before. "Why do you have to know?" the purger sneered.“It’s something you shouldn’t know.” Gaige

    The sound of the shield cracking reverberated through the entire place, a harrowing symphony of despair for those sheltered inside. Anxiety clung to the air, heavy and suffocating. Outside, the purgers raised their weapons, their excitement palpable as they anticipated the shield's inevitable collapse. "The top of the shield is now exposed! Some purgers are jumping down from it! Let's escape to the west! Strazz! Howl! Start letting out the poison!" Rowan barked orders while rushing down the building, Minka at his side. Together, they slid down a tube-like path, an intricate network of passages they had crafted for swift movement within their stronghold. Axel, Andy, and the remaining eleven members of their group hurriedly took the lead, exiting the building through the underground tunnel they had painstakingly carved out over the course of several weeks. "We released the poison from Pole A; hurry before the poison spreads!" Howl's voice crackled over the radio as he and Strazz follo

    The purger, adorned with crimson shoes, savored the macabre spectacle before him. Slowly clapping his hands, he gripped a pistol in the other, his eyes scanning the lifeless forms strewn around him. Howl's lifeless body lay nearby, surrounded by others who had fallen to the purger's merciless rampage. "I've reached my quota, and what a thrilling drama I've witnessed! This hunt is truly ingenious!" he proclaimed, arms outstretched, and body contorted in exuberance. Rage and disgust flickered across the faces of those in the room, not only due to the purger's lunatic behavior but also because of the lives he had taken. The captives, including Gaige, Rowan, Minka, Strazz, and two unknown returnees, had been shackled and forced to bear witness. Gaige remained unconscious, and when he finally regained awareness, he witnessed the two aliens being shot in the head. Desperate to escape his restraints, Gaige attempted to harness his aura but to no avail. "Gaige," Rowan rasped, drawing Gaige

    "Why am I still alive?" Gaige mused, utterly bewildered by his inexplicable survival. Bound in chains, he gazed upon the crimson river coursing along the concrete floor, an unsettling blend of blood and gunpowder assaulting his senses. His emotionless eyes briefly locked onto Minka's lifeless form before shifting to the others who had once seemed destined to endure this harrowing hunt together. A dry, humorless laugh escaped him as he compared his life in this savage world to his previous existence on Earth. He muttered, "Nothing has changed. I'm still in hell." He sighed, only to flinch at the sudden intrusion of a notification ringing in his head. It had been years since he interacted with Earth's technology, but familiarity returned quickly, allowing him to identify and comprehend the sound. Ding! Shaking his head, he attempted to dismiss the sound, yet it persisted, drawing his attention to a flashing screen before him. He observed it in puzzlement, reminiscing about how Rowan

    Emotions are perceived as a blemish in an angel's character. Despite possessing the capacity to experience emotions, angels typically opt for a life devoid of such sentiments. In reality, they are bereft of free will, dutifully executing the directives of their superiors. But what if an angel were to act in accordance with their emotions? This is the catalyst for the emergence of a purger. Purgers, in essence, are fallen angels. They represent ethereal beings who faced divine retribution, leading to their transformation into entities akin to humans in appearance but fundamentally distinct in mentality. Rather than seeking repentance, they nurture a deep-seated thirst for vengeance, a consequence of their expulsion from the ranks of celestial beings. Their actions on Earth escalate into chaos, prompting the establishment of a system and hierarchy designed to control and pacify them. Within this system, exceptional performers earn ranks and rewards, with the promise of regaining th

    Gaige carefully draped dirty cloths over the lifeless bodies of his friends, Minka, Rowan, Howl, Strazz, and the two aliens. He gathered them together in one spot, deliberately ignoring the other corpses scattered around him. Sitting beside their lifeless forms, he returned his focus to the system, his heart heavy with grief. His trembling fingers tapped on the first item that caught his attention: [System Status] [Kills] Multiple-lifer: 100,115 Single-lifer: 290 Spirit: 89 Dragon: 1 Gaige couldn't help but wonder aloud, "Is this a combination of the red-shoe purger and my own kills?" As he mulled over the numbers, he muttered, "There's no way there's a dragon here on Earth." Eventually, he concluded that the tally did indeed represent a combination of their kills. After all, he was the only one among them who had slain a dragon and had confronted various spirits since his transmigration. With a sense of grim determination, Gaige turned his attention to the reward lists, eage

    As Gaige continued to grapple with the bewildering changes in his life, he felt slightly apprecciation of the support from Adal. Her role as a guide to the mysterious system had begun to take shape, and Gaige felt a glimmer of trust in her capabilities, despite their rocky start. Gaige turned to Adal for answers, determined to unravel the enigma that had become his existence. "Can you tell me how many purgers there are on Earth?" he inquired, his curiosity burning. “Purger's population: 548,” Adal responded, her robotic voice punctuating the stark reality. "548? But I am ranked 548. Am I at the bottom?" Gaige's voice carried a hint of disappointment, as if he had hoped for a different outcome. “Yes,” Adal confirmed, casting Gaige into the depths of the purger hierarchy. Gaige's thoughts drifted back to Ideya, the red-shoe purger, and a flood of questions surfaced in his mind. "Then what was the red-shoe purger's rank before?" Gaige probed further. “Deceased Purger, Ideya Rank was

    Hours dragged on relentlessly, and Gaige remained confined within the same blood-soaked building. While the violent retching had ceased, his energy had dwindled to nothing. All he could do was lie there, his weakened form nestled among the lifeless bodies of Minka and the others. Despite his burning desire to locate Axel and Andy, Gaige harbored no illusions about his current state; venturing out now would be nothing short of suicidal. "Adal, when will the hunt end?" Gaige's voice, though weary, held a glimmer of hope. [Cannot access data: Purger Gaige didn't join the mission], Adal's response was a stark reminder of his isolation. Gaige furrowed his brow, contemplating his next move. "Do I have to join to find out?" he inquired. [Yes] [Will you accept the mission?] [Yes] [No] "Tell me the details of the mission first," Gaige requested, seeking a clearer picture of the path ahead.

    Once Gaige Feryuson returned to Earth, the system was no longer with him or anyone else. He was overjoyed when he gazed into his reflection and saw his appearance revert to what he recognized as his original and very first identity—the average-looking Kim Nery. Though he looked plain, weaker, and less imposing than the main character-like appearance of the Commander Knight Gaige Feryuson, he loved his Kim Nery look because it granted him more peace and a sense of calmness. "Papa! You look uglier!" Lambert pointed out, and he immediately jumped into Gaige's arms when he noticed him descending the stairs. "You don't have to be rude anymore," Gaige said. He laughed at his son's apt remark. "Bert, the purger system is all gone," and he gave him a kiss in appreciation for the fact that his son still recognized him despite his current downgraded appearance. Lambert pouted, causing Gaige to laugh even louder. Lambert said, "I am just being honest, papa." Everyone gathered one by one, draw

    Chapter 255: "Welcome back, Kim Nery!"

    The chaos surrounding Gaige Feryuson showed no signs of abating, even after the one who initiated it had perished. Explosions and fires raged, and the air echoed with screams and cries. The streets were strewn with corpses and blood, and despair loomed over everything. Gaige Feryuson realized that the world had indeed been abandoned because the once-familiar skies were now devoid of the countless angels he had grown accustomed to seeing. For Gaige, it was far from comforting to gaze up at a clear sky for the first time without spotting any celestial beings lazily drifting through the heavens. Despite the departure of the immensely powerful creator, this didn't imply that only humans would remain. The remaining purgeable beings still existed, and although their extraordinary abilities would gradually wane, new returnees would continue to arrive. This was a fortunate development for the returnees and transmigrators, although not all of them were benevolent; some certainly posed a thr

    Chapter 254: "Dandelions"

    Each existing world has its own set of rules and foundational principles. Whenever something or someone violates these laws or disrupts the foundation that sustains its existence, the gods, along with the celestial beings, step in to intervene. The Purger system is one such example of divine intervention. Its purpose is to ensure that Earth remains exclusive to single-lifers, and this exclusivity serves a specific objective. Single-lifers are inherently less powerful than multiple-lifers, making purgers indispensable for Earth's stability and balance. However, the gods retain the freedom to abandon a world if it becomes excessively troublesome and burdensome to maintain, regardless of the significance of its inhabitants. In the case of Earth, the loss of an archangel, a significant decrease in the purger population, and a recurrence of errors have made the gods less inclined to rectify the situation and more inclined to forsake the world. Abandoning a world is a relatively straigh

    Chapter 253: "Shut it down!"

    Gaige Feryuson and his family had safely departed Yawyklim City. Each member settled into their seats while Gaige piloted the minibus. It was a moment of respite, albeit brief, as an unexpected and massive explosion rocked the entire city of Yawyklim. Gaige slammed the brakes suddenly, causing all his passengers to lurch forward, then quickly settle back in their seats. Everyone peered out the windows, their curiosity piqued by the sudden explosion. "Hasn't the hunt concluded?" Cain inquired. In response, the others simply shrugged, equally perplexed. As they were leaving, they had witnessed angels descending from the sky. They assumed it was the angels' responsibility to restore order following the hunt's chaos. They didn't quite comprehend the methods the angels employed. Gaige mumbled, "Hmm, it's not the angels." He enhanced his vision using his divine abilities to see farther and observe the events unfolding inside the city. Although his vision was somewhat limited, it was enou

    Chapter 252: "You steal the life out of me!"

    The administrators and gods had convened in one place to investigate the individual responsible for tampering with Earth's purging system. They had initially waited patiently for Andy YDna's summons, but several seconds had already passed, and the elusive purger had yet to appear. The significant time difference between Earth and heaven meant that waiting for even a brief moment in heaven translated to hours on Earth. The delay in receiving the summons was causing irritation to mount among those gathered. One particular god, his patience worn thin, unleashed his frustration upon the system administrators, angels, and toads. "What is going on? How much longer must I endure this waiting?" he growled. As a god vented his frustration, the surroundings quaked, and those beneath him gasped for air, momentarily losing their ability to breathe due to the sheer force of his presence. "Please, remain calm," Lord Lintian urged, trying to maintain composure. He sighed while his hands were occu

    Ainspenser couldn't comprehend why everyone was staring at them with evident dismay. Frustrated by the situation, she questioned, "Why are they acting like this?" Gaige Feryuson, however, merely let out a heavy sigh and chose to ignore her inquiry. The murmurs from the onlookers continued, with voices speculating, "Which side is he on?" In reality, Gaige didn't align himself with either side. He walked away from the gathering to avoid getting caught up in the brewing drama. As all eyes followed him, they were taken aback when Gaige's fist struck something that appeared invisible. A resounding noise filled the air, and an invisible figure was sent tumbling. The invisibility spell concealing Andy shattered upon impact with the wall. He struggled to regain his footing but couldn't utter a word. Gaige reappeared in front of Andy, aiming his gun at Andy's forehead and firing without uttering a word. The sudden gunshot sent shockwaves through the onlookers, rendering them momentarily sp

    Chapter 250: "WARNING: You got scammed!"

    The Central Plaza was enveloped in the suffocating aura of death. Purgers opened fire fervently, even before they touched the ground. Fortunately, the purgeable beings were ready. Those with the ability to create shields covered those charging forward, allowing the others to engage the purgers immediately. As the two sides collided, the area became drenched in blood, and the acrid scent of death hung heavily in the air. The triumphant shouts of the enemy were nauseating, but no one wavered. "We can win!" declared one of the leaders upon seeing the purgers sustain more damage. The initial elation and confidence of the purgers quickly dwindled as the purgeable beings gained the upper hand. No one had expected these typically fearful and feeble individuals to respond with such ferocity. It caused the purgers to feel iffy about the sudden change. Also, the purgers' morale declines even more as they worry that they might not respawn as a result of the system's ongoing failure to co

    Chapter 249: "Why are you targeting me?"

    Except for Gaige and Ainspenser, everyone had gathered at Yawyklim Central Plaza. It was an unprecedented occurrence during the hunt, where opposing sides engaged in direct combat instead of scattered skirmishes. Purgers typically operated individually or in small groups, and rarely had they united en masse. On the other hand, purgeable beings were usually helpless and unprepared during the hunt. However, this time, they had learned how the hunt worked and gained the knowledge of how to combat purgers. The fear and vulnerability that once filled their eyes had given way to determination and a will to survive through their own strength and abilities. All of these changes had come about due to the efforts of both Andy and Gaige. Gaige had successfully persuaded the purgeable beings to cooperate, while Andy had effectively led the purgers. Even the angels observing from above found themselves anticipating the outcome of this rare event. With no clear distinction between hunters and pre

    Chapter 248: "Are we still playing?"

    A gentle breeze carried an oily scent through the air. Distant roars, initially faint and unclear, gradually intensified in volume and significance. Suddenly, Gaige Feryuson found himself in an open, expansive area that left him feeling uneasy. Perplexed by his circumstances, Gaige slumped down, gazing vacantly at the sky while making feeble attempts to grasp at the mud beneath him. "Why am I in the mud?" he wondered, his words being spoken with his mouth but only echoing within his mind. As he continued to survey the peculiar scene, he struggled to recall what he might have forgotten. Just then, a powerful gust of wind tore through the space with swiftness. However, the wind seemed to be coming from his eyes, so he turned his head to the side to shield himself from it. Gaige's face stung as the mud struck him with force. It was at that moment that the open space abruptly transformed into a confined area, resembling a dungeon. "Haha! Seriously." He laughed as he finally realize
