The Black Hand Does Not Take the Taunt The vague black silhouette had glowing blue eyes, yet did not exist inside my Force Sense. To my hearing, it was a region of absolute silence, as if it devoured every nearby sound. It moved in a way that was deeply wrong. Less like a living creature than a true shadow, flickering from place to place as the light that cast it shifted. Every step, every attack, every motion felt as though cold claws of fear were trying to pierce my flesh. These…-

Cheng Rui in His Mech A gaunt humanoid over two meters tall charged at Cheng Rui’s heavy armor faster than most cars on a highway. It had terrible claws and a skeletal face. The claws slammed into the thick iron plating with a deep, bell-like clang—and shattered in the process. While the monster howled over the loss of its claws, the drill mounted on Cheng Rui’s left wrist punched through its torso. Very quickly, the scream became a wet gurgle. The sharp, ultra-hard, vibrating chisel cut…

Chi Li and Cheng Rui “Mom, you really can’t stay in the house anymore! It isn’t safe here!” For half an hour, the teenage girl had been trying to persuade her parents to go somewhere safer than this suburban house, and she was so anxious she was nearly in tears. The house’s greatest defense was a white picket fence. “Would it be safer to run into the fog while there’s a war going on?” Her mother was barely five feet tall, not at all imposing, but she still glared and repeated the…

One Hunt After Another Why was the water glowing? Why was my skin so dry? Were the beads of sweat running down my face exploding when they touched the bath? I rolled over and retched. Spit and stomach acid splashed when they hit the water. No. This was wrong. I had to get out. My limbs were as weak as boiled noodles. I crawled out of the “bathtub” that had nearly killed me and tripped over a pair of heavy iron boots. I looked up. Thick plates of black-and-red metal. An…

The New Skill: Force Sense With the death of that horrifying giant bird, my power rose again. It was the third time since the battle with the mutant plant monster. I began to suspect that gaining more points might not depend only on killing monsters. Perhaps pushing my own abilities to their limits helped too. Whatever the truth, I put my attribute points into Spirit so I could adjust to the unexpected increase in Strength. For my abilities, I spent three points to patch a glaring weakness in my…

The City Is Sealed On a stretch of grassland in the western outskirts, a small convoy lay scattered and overturned. They must have been fleeing. Then something had ended their attempt to escape the affected area. The lead truck had been struck from above. A huge hole had been blown through its roof, most of the chassis torn apart. The wheels and part of the engine block still held together, but they were blackened by smoke and half melted. The car behind it had been crushed by the same blast.…

The Beginning of the Invasion A week ago, in the small hours before dawn, disaster arrived while everyone was still asleep. At first, there was only fog. A thick, unnatural fog swallowed the entire city. Communications died. San Guang City became the first beachhead of an invasion from another world. Then the portals opened. They appeared everywhere, great and small, and from them came every nightmare that had ever found a shape: zombies, man-eating plants, winged little devils, iron birds,…

Train K9746 In the autumn of 2015, I boarded Train K9746 with a crumpled job notice tucked in my pocket and my childhood friend Akai beside me. We were traveling from Chengdu to Xi’an. Hard-seat tickets had been impossible to get, so we gritted our teeth and bought sleeper berths instead. I had expected the carriage to be packed with passengers, but when we stepped into our hard-sleeper compartment, I realized it was nearly empty. There were only four of us in that whole section: Akai and me, a…-

Chapter 52: Establishing Contact Qonas Kilgor, whose eyes were deep blue, nearly black, and whose hair was cropped shorter than was common among high-ranking figures, held a glass of champagne as he walked before Dwayne Dantès. Smiling slightly, he said, “Your luck today was truly excellent, and you were filled with courage.” If you’re talking about how I usually folded immediately after receiving a Bribe, preferring to lose the blind, that was not luck, but knowledge… As for the rest,…-

Chapter 51: “God of Gambling” Dwayne The core rules of Texas hold ’em were very simple: using one’s two hole cards and the five community cards, one selected any five to form a hand. Whoever had the higher hand won. The community cards were dealt in three rounds: three cards in the first round, one in the second, and one in the third. In each round, players could bet, call, or raise until no one raised further, or until only one person remained without folding. Klein toyed with the chips in…
