It had been a hot September evening.
Outside the window, there was nothing but cunning moonlight and the restless chirping of cicadas.
Inside the house, Chad stared intently at the television in the living room.
On the screen, a beautiful and dignified host, dressed in a black blazer, was reading the news script.
But it wasn't the beautiful host that captivated Chad.
It was the news she was reporting.
"According to our station, a new round of eerie mist has completed its descent."
"This time, the first zone of eerie mist will appear in Kiadan, Blicri, Rigreece... a total of thirteen cities."
"After the mist descends, countless Eerie Beings will emerge in the area. All citizens are advised to prepare accordingly, avoid unnecessary outings, and keep the phone number of the Spiritual Energy Association handy..."
Chad had no mood to listen to the rest.
At that moment, his heart felt a chill.
The reason was simple.
Kiadan, where Chad lived, was within the range of the first zone of eerie mist.
This meant that for a long time, Kiadan would face unimaginable crises.
Soon, mysterious and powerful Eerie Beings would invade from unthinkable angles.
Ordinary people who encountered them were basically doomed, unless they had incredible luck!
"Huh, should I say I'm lucky or unlucky?" Chad chuckled to himself, his expression slightly helpless.
He felt lucky purely because the eerie phenomena had already been present for ten years.
In those ten years,
The eerie mist had developed to the fifth zone in seven countries, including Aumabiai, Guernliaa, Zermi, Ngama, and others.
And what Chad was about to encounter was only the lowest level, the first zone.
Naturally, the higher the zone, the more dangerous it was.
This was why Chad felt "lucky".
...
The eerie mist was mysterious; no one knew how it came to be.
Nor could anyone figure out the pattern of the eerie phenomena's arrival.
After ten years of groping in the dark, global humanity had only summarized the following experience: each zone had different Eerie Beings that appeared randomly along with the eerie mist. Encountering and overcoming these Eerie Beings could earn resources to enhance one's strength.
Yes, the mist brought eerie phenomena and danger, but after overcoming them, one could also obtain generous resource rewards.
...
Clap!
Chad casually turned off the television.
The room was dark, and he lay on the sofa, his eyes gazing at the dim ceiling.
He let out a soft sigh.
Chad was worried about his fate and future.
Actually, he wasn't from this world.
A year ago, Chad had traveled here. Besides himself, there was also a sister in his family.
His fused memories told him that his original self wasn't the biological child of this family, but had been adopted by them when he was three years old.
In other words, his sister, Gabrial, and he weren't related by blood.
But this didn't hinder their close and harmonious sibling relationship.
Two years ago, Gabrial, had suddenly awakened her abilities, causing a great commotion.
At that time, Chad was still at school and hadn't witnessed it firsthand.
When he came home, he found that his sister had already been taken away.
As for what specific abilities Gabrial had awakened, Chad asked everyone in the neighborhood, but no one gave a clear answer. They only said it was very sensational and extremely powerful.
After that, Chad never saw his sister again.
Thinking of this, Chad let out another soft sigh.
"Unfortunately, I'm not an awakener..."
Since this world was full of eerie phenomena, it was extremely dangerous for ordinary people.
Once encountered, it was basically a life-and-death situation.
Naturally, those powerful awakeners became the rulers of this world.
After all, they were the only ones who could confront the eerie phenomena.
According to Chad's knowledge, the strongest awakener among humans had surpassed the nine-star level.
Even four-star and five-star awakeners were already considered powerful, with explosive strength.
The top awakeners in the human world were all concentrated in a place called "Sacred Spirit Academy".
Sacred Spirit Academy was a place that everyone in the world dreamed of and aspired to, including Chad.
Although awakeners were very powerful, ordinary people didn't know much about them.
Chad had been here for a year, and besides his sister, he hadn't heard of anyone else awakening on the spot and becoming a powerful and mysterious awakener.
In summary, there were definitely some awakeners among humans, but they weren't numerous.
Perhaps most of them were low-level novices at the one-star or two-star level.
Becoming a top awakener was probably as difficult as ascending to heaven. They were basically rare existences.
...
Suddenly, just as Chad's thoughts were flying, the bright moonlight outside the window and the restless chirping of cicadas seemed to be paused in an instant.
They disappeared in a flash.
Subsequently.
Chad's vision went dark, and everything around him fell into complete darkness.
Even the little natural light seemed to be swallowed up by some ominous and eerie presence.
Chad's heart skipped a beat, then sank. "Damn, the news just reported the arrival of the eerie phenomena. I didn't expect it to come so quickly!"
