Chaos had reached the Safe Zone.
Houses burned. Mages fired containment spells. Soldiers battled in the streets. Ants poured in from every direction, constructing a colossal hive at the edge of the city—and worst of all, they operated in strategic divisions.
Assault units.
The captain didn’t wait. It rushed forward, a streak of muscle and malice, one kick landing squarely against Luke’s ribs—lifting him off his feet and sending him crashing through a wall. The impact robbed him of breath. Stone shattered. Dust filled his lungs.
He tried to rise, but the...

He had faced a few before in the Wild Zone—tough, aggressive, but manageable. These were something else entirely. Not just larger. Wilder. Consumed by something beyond instinct. A pure, mindless fury that radiated from every step.
