[Existence: 200]

Adam exhaled slowly, eyes narrowing as he processed everything in order. His slot capacity had increased, just as expected after the surge. That alone was valuable. But it wasn’t what caught his attention the most.

Star Power: 92.

A faint smile tugged at his lips as his fingers flexed slightly. At this level, he already knew the truth. Below Master rank, he was practically invisible. Untouchable. And even above that…

The thought didn’t feel arrogant. It felt… accurate.

Over time, exits had begun appearing across the rift. But he had ignored them. Back then, his existence wasn’t enough. Leaving early would have been a waste.

Now he had more than enough.

That had been the plan.

The death affinity in the air had thickened, spreading like an unseen tide and moving toward him.

Through Connect and his heightened perception, he locked onto three distinct presences in the distance. Each one radiating death affinity far beyond anything he had encountered so far.

Much stronger.

Three targets.

But not ordinary either.

“I guess…” he muttered under his breath, voice calm despite the rising pressure.

The air split in the next moment and three massive shapes tore through the distance like projectiles, descending at terrifying speed. The ground trembled violently an instant before impact—

BOOM! BOOM!

Adam didn’t move.

And within it…

****

Then the smoke thinned.

Adam’s eyes sharpened immediately as the first creature stepped forward, its movement unnatural and dragging, as if the world itself resisted its presence. Its elongated, chalk-white frame looked wrong at a glance and it became worse the longer he stared.

Its limbs weren’t limbs.

Then its eye locked onto Adam.

Adam felt it immediately; it was as if something was trying to pull him inward without touching him at all. His instincts flared, forcing his focus tighter as he resisted the pull.

A low growl rumbled from its throat as it crouched, muscles tightening beneath its coarse, charcoal fur. At first glance, it looked like a wolf, but that illusion shattered instantly.

Its muzzle split open slowly, revealing four hinged mandibles that unfolded outward like a blooming nightmare. Rows of jagged teeth lined each section, grinding against each other as it inhaled sharply.

Adam adjusted his footing by a fraction.

Each step came with a dull, crushing thud that shook the fractured terrain again. The creature’s form was massive, towering above the others with a grotesque blend of dead flesh and reinforced metal.

Electricity crackled faintly across its surface, crawling along its arms and dispersing into the air.

No emotion.

They were something else entirely.

“…Yeah,” Adam muttered quietly, his voice steady as his stance lowered further.

The three creatures moved at the same time.
