On the boundless Wilderness, a mutation is silently brewing.

Only the dull and slow vibrations could be heard, coming from afar, like a mountain breathing, or a slumbering giant awakening from its dreams.

"—Boom."

A giant ten stories tall.

Crimson muscles pulsated ominously like burning lava, with thick, twisted veins intertwining like wild vines clinging all over him.

His head hung low, beast-like, bending so unnaturally at the neck and back.

A series of bony protrusions extended from his back toward the sky, heavy and menacing like the tusks of a mammoth.

With each of his breaths, the bone spurs on his back trembled slightly, flapping a destructive aura like spread wings!

He wore no armor and needed none; his bare crimson fists, hewn like mountain rocks, were stained with dark blood.

A mere swing of those fists could level a mountain!

Even more terrifying, his skin constantly ruptured under the strain of bulging muscles and veins, dropping out tiny lives—

They were twisted, grotesque Kao beastlings, detaching from his pustules, wailing as they congregated into a vile swarm beside him.

The Kao beastlings instinctually feared him, hovering at his feet, whining with lowered heads, unable to flee.

He himself seemed long accustomed to it all.

Other conscious Kao people avoided him upon seeing his migration, keeping a respectful distance from the enormous being, venerated as the "Mountain Butcher."

As for his name, no one knew.

Even he himself did not know.

He only recalled a deep, blurred, mad voice echoing from the depths of his shattered soul since the moment he became conscious—

'Omga!'

'My child… go battle! Go destroy! Swallow everything you see—'

'Until you become the only one on this planet!'

He considered that dull whisper his meaning of existence, pursuing the mysterious voice to this desolate place.

Omga suddenly halted, raising his head sharply, nostrils flaring as he inhaled the desert air like a great whale.

'It's here—'

From the silent air, he caught a whiff of fresh, intense scent.

The scent of blood.

Recently slaughtered, not yet fully cooled blood.

Following the scent's lead, he found the carcasses left behind after the Kao beasts were hunted by Yiye Zhiqiu and other players.

Seeing the disemboweled corpses and scattered blood, Omga grinned, revealing a menacing smile. His scarlet eyes reflected bloody shades, like a beast starved for a fortnight, seeing ripe prey.

But just then, he also faintly sensed a sinister odor, seemingly nearby.

Omga frowned slightly, his cerebral cortex wrinkling in unison.

But within mere seconds, he abandoned any thought, relaxing his tense nerves.

Thinking about such things was too complicated.

Just devour everything together.

On this land, he was an invincible existence—at least he thought so.

The next second, Omga, with a menacing grin, continued his heavy steps, dragging along the swarm of beastlings born from his festering pustules, following the bloody scent slowly and steadfastly toward the nearby mountains…

...

In the distant cave, beside the slowly burning fire, sparks crackled upward like flickering wings.

Outside the cave, the sky remained dim, as if time on this dead planet froze at dusk.

A cluster of Soul Fire ignited in a cold skull, Ye Zhiqiu suddenly sat up from the ground, eagerly cracking knuckles, bones creaking.

Log in!

Level up!

An hour ago, he felt indifferent after achieving his goal, but now his heart was full of high-spirited determination, itching to plunge into the sea of monsters immediately!

The reason being—

This was no ordinary game anymore!

From the B01 update, he not only saw the vast future of "Catastrophe OL" but also the ambition of the conniving developers!

Though his level was maxed, there were still experience bars to fill.

He planned to fill them first, then back up and elevate directly to Silver Rank, saving round-trip time.

As he stood up from the ground, a familiar voice almost instantly reached him.

"Damn! Brother Ye! Are you seriously the developers' secret alt account?!"

The three good comrades were already online waiting for him.

The Pig-headed Knight was the first to jump out, shouting at him with excitement.

The usually calm Minotaur brother also turned mischievous this time.

"I'm starting to suspect too, how can you reach max level just when the new version is ready? It's too ridiculous!"

Sighing at the foolishness of the pair, Ye Zhiqiu softly said.

"We've partnered so many times, how could you think that?"

To be honest.

With the potential of this game, there's no need to arrange spies from official, right?

The Minotaur Warrior chuckled, rubbing his bald head, replied.

"Can't I dream? If by any chance you are really the developers' secret alt account, maybe give the brothers some backdoor privileges…"
