Tokyo - Shibuya District
Yuki Tanaka had spent the past months grinding levels as a player with a B-rank talent. Her Ice Manipulation talent had carried her through countless runs, earned her respect in her village, and built her reputation as someone who never quit.
Until now.
Her apartment building shook as defective demons scaled its exterior walls. Through her window, she watched other buildings fall to the horde. Watched neighbours become victims.
Her phone buzzed constantly. Family messages.
"Yuki, are you safe?"
"The news says Tokyo is under attack."
"Please respond."
Her grandmother lived six blocks away. She was an elderly woman who was helpless and alone.
Yuki's ring stood there like an invitation to sin.
Safety waited in Armageddon's realm.
She looked at her phone again. Her grandmother's contact information glowed on the screen.
Save myself or save her? Can't do both.
The building shuddered again. Closer now.
