”What is this?” Liu Jun was shocked, and his mind was in disarray. Above them, a cascade of night clouds had covered the sky. Furthermore, the darkness contained portals of numerous colors which discharged bright lights onto the campus of Yingji University. To be honest, Liu Jun thought the sight was beautiful. Compared to the foggy skies of China, it was an astonishing view to behold.

When the monsters arose from the portals, a couple more brazen students decided to walk toward the green goblins. Holding their cellphones, the students happily took pictures and videos of the monsters. Liu Jun tried to tell them to stop, but the eager crowd ignored him.

”I'm going to be famous! This is amazing!” A chubby man in his late-twenties exclaimed, and his small eyes displayed complete bewilderment. While he was filming his soon-to-be viral video, he noticed the monsters walking closer to him on the screen. He fearlessly added, ”Wow, this is so cool!”

Abruptly, a green goblin lifted his stubby hand. Using his sharp nails, he murderously scratched the chubby man. The attack was ruthless, and the chubby man had a bloody claw mark from the top to bottom of his face. Feeling the pain, the chubby man screamed; furthermore, he could not see anything. The scratch had shattered his eyeballs, and he had become blind.

The crowd was shaking, while Liu Jun asked, ”Did you hear that notification, Brother Dong? I think… it's similar to a game. Remember the RPG Maplestory? The one we played in our childhood?”

”Yes, of course, I do. But, instead, this is real life… if we die here, it's over.” Huang Dong replied with some hesitation in his voice. In the modern era, novels and movies commonly depicted such realities; therefore, the three friends analyzed the situation realistically. From childhood, the trio had been exposed to these possibilities, so they had an easier time accepting the situation.

”Weapons. We need weapons.” Liu Jun intuitively stated. By instinct, he knew that calling for help would be useless in this situation. Judging from the sky, this deadly phenomenon should be occurring everywhere. So, at this point, obtaining weapons to defend themselves would be the next best thing!

Grabbing a nearby broom used for cleaning, Liu Jun broke the metal broom into a long stick. Holding the newly-formed weapon in one hand, he automatically handed it to his first love, ”Ah Xue, take this… don't hesitate to defend yourself.”

”Okay… Jun.” Qian Xue nodded. As his childhood lover, she had complete trust in him. But, even so, there was still some reluctance in her voice.

”Good.” Seeing this, Liu Jun tried to show a soothing smile, but it was not the slightest bit convincing. Although she had hesitation in her voice, he knew that she would defend herself if needed. The two would never lie to each other.

Finally, Liu Jun turned to his friend. Smiling, he spoke, ”Hey, what's with the indecision? You couldn't be waiting for me to babysit you, right? Huang Dong, who was the one who would always carry me in Maplestory?”

”Of course not.” Huang Dong grinned in response, and he lifted his tennis bat. As a top tennis player, he would constantly tow his bat along with him. Usually, Liu Jun would jokingly make fun of him about it. Claiming that he did it to impress the ladies, but it had excellent use now and came in handy.

”Heh.” Chuckling, Liu Jun observed the monsters. First, he would study the goblin's attack pattern. Before engaging in combat, this process was crucial: It was essential to understand one's enemy!
