The God's Games

Soon, the city gates were broken by countless demons.

These tall demons became the enemies everyone feared, ruthlessly destroying everything in their path and attacking all the humans they saw.

The Royal Knights, Adventurers' Guild, and the Church of Light worked together to resist the demons while leading the civilians to safe play.

After a full day of effort, they managed to bring the people to safe places, but they realized they couldn't stop the demon army.

The demons stood in every corner of Ulon city, with smoke swirling in the air and the smell of burning filling the area—remnants of the fierce battle.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Ulon City was destroyed by the demons.

Even the players were heartbroken as they watched this scene.

This was the city they had worked so hard to build, their starting village—how could it end up like this?

Could it be that the game developers planned for Ulon City to be destroyed?

They didn't want the city they worked so hard to build to just disappear like that.

While they silently protested against the game developers, they thought about how to save Ulon City.

The players started to take action.

They chose a leader and began to wipe out the demons in different areas of the city.

But they quickly realized that they couldn't completely eliminate the demons because they kept pouring in through the main gate.

The players understood this phenomenon well and called it "infinite spawns."

The demons that entered the city were mostly low-level demons, with occasional high-level ones roaming the city.

Whenever they saw someone, they would attack them, causing a lot of trouble.

If they couldn't clear out the demons quickly enough, another wave would appear, and there would be more and more demons, making things more difficult for them.

"We can't hold on any longer!"

The players' magic powers were running low, and the speed they cleared out the demons became slower and slower.

They looked in despair at the increasing number of demons and cried out.

"Can't we block the gate so the demons can't get in?" Stay connected through empire

Someone shouted back, "The Royal Knights are guarding the gate, but we haven't heard from them in a while."

That sentence brought silence to everyone nearby.

Because not hearing from them likely meant they had already fallen to the demons.

And those NPCs were different from the players.

As long as the players guarded the church, they could be resurrected there, but when NPCs died, they were truly gone—they wouldn't come back in the game.

This incredibly realistic gameplay left a deep impression on the players.

The Royal Knights weren't even from Ulon Town—they were the first group to volunteer to help them defend the city from the demons.

If they really sacrificed themselves, the players would feel bad about it.

Encouraged by this, the players gritted their teeth and said, "What are these difficulties compared to what they faced? We can revive infinitely. As long as we protect the church as our base, we can definitely hold on."

Just as they said, the players started fighting with all they had.

When their magic power runs out, they will be switched to close combat battle, using their last bit of strength.

After they died, their teammates would take their place and wait for their resurrection.

Since resurrection restored their magic power to full, they stopped using potions and relied on resurrection to refill their magic points.

In this way, the players managed to hold out for a while.

But even so, it still wasn't enough.

Running back after being resurrection wasted a lot of time, and it became harder and harder to keep up the defense.

They were just one step away from losing.

Someone gritted their teeth and shouted, "How much longer do we have to hold out? Do we have any reinforcements?"

By this point, they finally understood why the people of this world feared the demons so much.

Knowing they couldn't fight back, the civilians had given up on the hope of survival and accepted their fate.

The players knew that they were still brave enough to keep fighting because they would not die, but what about the ordinary people?

They couldn't do anything except wait for the demons to come and take their lives.

The endless fighting was making them numb.

They didn't know when it would end, when they would win, or what was waiting for them.

They could only hope for a small change,

"Most of us are already in Ulon City. Where are reinforcements supposed to come from?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Isn't there still Hanjun? If he were here right now, we wouldn't have to worry so much, right?"

Hanjun's name gave many people hope.

The title "Holy Son" meant his power in the Church of Light was extraordinary.

If he could return to Ulon City, he would definitely save the city.

"Let's hope Hanjun hears about this and hurries back."

With that hope, the players found something to rely on in their hearts.

On the other side of Ulon Town, the ironworks were also under attack by the demons.

Most of the people there were just casual players and ordinary people.

They couldn't stop the demons' advance.

Mayor Herman froze in place when he saw the demons.

He pointed at them with a trembling hand, unable to speak for a long time.

Finally, he stammered out two sentences: "I knew it! The demons were bound to come! We should have fled from here back then!"

His words shook the other people, but as soon as he finished speaking, Butch dropped the large piece of ore he was holding.

With a blank expression, Butch said, "I think you're asking for a beating again."

Mayor Herman instinctively shrank his neck when he heard that phrase because whenever he slacked off, Butch would say those exact words.

It had become a mental shadow for him.

However, when Mayor Herman thinks about it again, this wasn't right, they were all close to losing their lives in front of the demon army—why should he still be afraid of Butch?
