When Daniel woke up that morning, he barely managed to muster enough willpower to get up from the bed. He had barely slept for two hours, and that night had been actually the one in which he slept most in the last two weeks. When he left his room, Daniel found Holland crossing the corridor just like him, as if he was a living corpse. Both of them were too exhausted to greet each other, so they only barely nodded at each other.
While he was brushing his teeth, Daniel studied the image in the mirror with an absent mind. He didn't look like someone who was only twenty-three… not a single person actually aged in the last few months, but the continuous fight and the few hours of rest were starting to make Daniel looked like someone in their forties… at least when he was half-asleep.
Suddenly, the base began to tremble, and the mirror in front of Daniel cracked. Nowadays, he hated earthquakes because usually, they weren't just earthquakes. They were an alarm informing humans of the impending doom… Fortunately, the dungeon breaks happened just a week ago, so Daniel didn't get nervous. However, the earthquake intensified, and his worries were confirmed when the alarm of the base started to ring.
"A dungeon break… shit," Daniel bit his lips in exasperation. "How? Why?"
Daniel and Holland dashed toward the meeting room and met their friends along the way. Tristan, Anna, Cole, Natalia, and all the others they have been working with for several months headed toward the same direction. The serious expression on their faces only worsened when another intense earthquake happened.
"No way…" Luke muttered in shock. "Two dungeon breaks?"
Mark and Hugo didn't even have arrived at the meeting room when that group finally arrived. Anna accessed the room's computer, made the satellite move and gave them images of the three dungeons in the area. Before she could succeed, another earthquake happened…
Everyone stopped and looked at each other and waited for another earthquake that never came. That was good, but it was also bad since they had three dungeons nearby…
When Mark and Hugo finally showed up, Anna succeeded in making the satellite show some points in Indianapolis. The first one had been the Golems dungeon, and much to their despair, hundreds of them were leaving the dungeon. Anna didn't let the shock slow her down any further, and then she also checked the situation on the other two dungeons. As expected, monsters were coming out from those two. Mark couldn't mutter a single word to say or order anything… that was the worst-case scenario.
"Why the hell are you not moving?" John suddenly appeared and then asked, already imagining why everyone was in shock. "We have to deal with this problem before it is too late!"
"... Right…" Mark said after taking a deep breath. "Hugo, Daniel, John, and Holland will lead our melee fighters and try to slow down the golems. Meanwhile, Mia, Natalia, Tristan and Luke will do the same against the Poisonous Frogs. Take everyone that has a decent aim with you guys."
"What about the others?" Anna asked.
