The people's excitement was palpable as they shouted and cheered. Adrian stood on the side of the street, surrounded by these people. He could see them, but they did not seem to see him."What is happening?"Amazed, Adrian reached out to touch the person nearest to him but was unable to do so no matter how hard he tried. He quickly understood what was going on."I see. This is a refraction similar to the desert mirage. The people in front of me are all refractions of light. What I'm seeing right now is actually a scene in Enigma City from over a thousand years ago. Somehow, this scene is being projected. Is it caused by the full moon or is it that green light from the tower?"Adrian looked around. He now understood that what he was seeing was a projection of events that had occurred in Enigma City over a thousand years ago—a natural phenomenon replayed through some kind of complex phenomenon.In other words, Adrian was watching something similar to a television show, and the scene
Surprised, Adrian took a few steps back.The woman looked at him with a determined expression after mouthing the words as though she was looking right into his eyes. She only looked away from him when the carriage had passed.Adrian felt a shock run through him. He stepped back, confused and astonished by what had happened. He tried to rationalize everything.‘Was that the princess of Partingia? But this is nothing more than watching a show as an audience. These people are just characters in the show, so how could she see me? These events happened over a thousand years ago, a time when I couldn’t have possibly existed.’Adrian was overwhelmed with astonishment. He wondered if he was trapped in some kind of illusion. But what happened was definitely no illusion. The woman inside the carriage had communicated with him.Perhaps she had been addressing someone who had also stood where Adrian was standing at that exact moment over a thousand years ago. But if that was the case, that pe
Was it all a coincidence, or had it actually happened? ‘That tower should hold all of Gostia's secrets. I have to enter it if I want to find out more.’Adrian took a deep breath. He decided to rest for the night and continue his journey to the tower the next morning. He estimated he would be there by the next night. Without hesitation, Adrian leaped onto a roof, his choice place for sleep over the past few days. The zombie guards could not jump, so the higher ground was naturally safer.***The morning sky was not as sunny as Adrian had expected. Instead, it was completely overcast. Heavy clouds hung low, casting Enigma City into a dark, evening-like state. The unpredictable weather here was probably influenced by some magnetic field. These scientific aspects were hard for Adrian to grasp.After having some compressed biscuits and water, Adrian slung his backpack over his shoulders and continued toward the tower. Around five hours later, he was less than three hundred meters aw
Adrian was not bothered to wonder how the top floor of the tower led to the Uduma Desert. Instead, he focused on the outlander leaders. There were eight of them, and these older men were immortals. On top of that, there were approximately five thousand people patrolling the area.Entering the tower would be difficult.Adrian furrowed his brows. He knew the outlanders would discover him if he tried to infiltrate. They had eight immortals on their side, and it was impossible for Adrian to fight them, especially in his current state."Faster! Hurry up!”"We need everything moved out of here.”"Once this mission is over, we'll become the strongest nation in the world!"The leaders continued to shout.These people were moving large quantities of stones, gold, silver, gems, and weapons from the first floor of the tower in baskets.Adrian spotted corpses of zombie guards around the outlanders, which were mixed with the corpses of their former comrades. ‘Looks like they suffered quite
The zombies swarmed toward the outlanders upon sensing large amounts of body heat."We're under attack! Prepare for battle!" one of the leaders roaredEveryone picked up their weapons to fire at the incoming zombies. However, the number of zombies was overwhelming. And on top of that, they continued to run despite getting their heads blown off. The only way to disable the zombies was to break their legs. A storm of bullets wreaked havoc upon the zombies, but most of the bullets landed on their torsos. After all, it was still a little challenging to hit their legs."Get ready to fight!”The eight immortals charged forward, radiating with light. They cleared a path by scattering the zombies with a powerful punch.Adrian frowned as he watched the scene unfold from a distance. ‘This isn’t favorable. The zombies don’t pose much of a threat with eight immortals around. I need to find a way to take the immortals down.’As his mind raced, he spotted a few corpses nearby. Most of them w
The five surviving immortals were astonished to see another of their comrades perishing. They had not expected for those as mighty as them to be killed by an ordinary gun-wielding mortal."After him!""Get him!""Attack!"The immortals were outraged. They soared into the air and transformed into streaks of light that headed right for Adrian. All five of them attacked simultaneously in an attempt to defeat him in a single blow.Adrian reacted quickly, dashing into the zombie guard ranks as the immortals charged at him. He crouched and crept past the zombies to avoid detection, and the five immortals lost sight of him.Boom! Boom! Boom!!! In retaliation, the five immortals dealt several strikes to blast apart the horde of zombies. But Adrian had no plans on being a sitting duck."Where is he?”"Where did he go?"The immortals were frantic, unable to locate Adrian's current position."Look out!" one of them suddenly shouted.But it was too late. Another immortal received a he
Boom! Boom! Boom!Building after building was obliterated by the immortals’ attacks, but Adrian could anticipate what they would do and remained untraceable within the city. "Show yourself, you b*stard!" The three remaining immortals shouted as they stood on the rooftop. They scanned the area and kept shifting locations in an attempt to avoid Adrian shooting them down so easily. But Gloria was not the only one with excellent marksmanship. Adrian did too, and he refused to take his shot unless he was absolutely sure he would hit his target.Bang!A sixth gunshot rang out, and the immortals panicked. The bullet zipped through the air and killed a sixth immortal before they could even scream. Only two remained now, and Adrian had vanished from sight once again."Let's blend into the zombie horde, Austin. He won't be able to catch us and we'll be safe while we think of another plan," one of the immortals shouted.Austin acknowledged this and rushed into the zombie horde in mimicry
The outlanders had suffered the misfortune of Adrian thwarting the strategy they had taken years to plan. Close to ten thousand outlander adventurers had laid down their lives in Enigma City, including eight immortals. The impossible had happened. Immortals were supposed to be mighty beings high above mere mortals, yet these few were doomed to sleep within this city forever.Adrian had not expected things to go so well for him. He was now the only living being within Enigma City, and heaps of corpses surrounded him. The tower was now before his eyes, but he did not enter yet.‘That Rondonier leader had ordered the men not to enter the tower's second floor. They were only allowed to gather stones from the first floor. They must have some sort of intel, the kind that tells them how dangerous it is inside.’Adrian stood on the roof and looked toward the nineteen-story tower. More accurately, it was eighteen stories since the nineteenth was the Uduma Desert. He looked toward the eightee
