The Malice of the World

"Is the BOSS about to make a move??"

"We just managed to raid a village and got some supplies. Has the BOSS respawned already?"

"Is this what they call the malice of the world??"

"Damn, I think I get it now. The more we harm the native NPCs, the more targeted we become!"

Sterl observed from a distance, able to faintly hear the shouts of the player team. This also led to the player team noticing Sterl's presence, and they excitedly ran towards him.

"Hey friend, a strong enemy is about to appear. Let's team up."

Even though Sterl was positioned relatively far from the epicenter of the ground's upheaval and could theoretically escape, the player squad decided to drag him into the mess without hesitation. An extra person meant extra strength to fend off the BOSS!
