Is this really a Game?!

Laura had been sent to a planet where demons were present. That was of course thanks to her status as a possessed. Not only did Laura have an inherent disgust toward demons, but the skills she had gotten as a Demon Hunter worked best against them, dealing 50% more damage when targeting demonkind.

It was a planet that had a very low technological level, similar to the Iron Age of humanity back on Earth. When the game started, monsters poured out, but in low numbers as somehow demons also invaded the planet.

There were millions of demons that poured out of spatial gates, ranging from low-leveled, incredibly weak demons all the way to very powerful ones, the most powerful amongst them being Tier V.

Demons, just like humans, monsters, and other races had to abide by the rules of the system. They had limited areas where they could function at the beginning of the game and only later would those areas increase and give them more freedom. This was all of course done in order to allow the players of the planet a chance to survive and win in the end.

The planet however seemed to be doomed. Not enough people survived the initial onslaught as about 90% of them had died when Laura was sent there. About 3 years had passed and so many had died, the survivors were mostly focused in 10 regions in the world. Only 10 out of hundreds of regions, that was just how small and powerless they were.

Most of the world was taken over by the demons, the surviving humans being made into slaves that worked for them. The flora and fauna of the planet were gone in the regions that were ruled by the demons as only blood trees and blood flowers grew. The soil was dark and hard and nothing could be cultivated there, no plants could be grown and water would evaporate the second it touched it.

The sky was gloomy with a shade of red all over the planet, showing that the demons were very close to dominating the planet, for that of course they needed to take over the final ten regions that humans had taken over, and 30 that the monsters had managed to control.

The demons had over 100 regions in their control and they were by far the most dominating and powerful race on the planet, forcing some more intelligent monsters to form alliances with each other and with humans who begrudgingly accepted them, for they would rather work with monsters and then later fight against them, than fall against the demons who would enslave them for all eternity.

The 10 regions humans had conquered were strong, high walls could be seen around the regions as the most powerful amongst the humans stayed there, ready to go out at any moment to fight against the demons. Of course, there were also those that had betrayed humanity, demon worshipers that sided with demons in hopes of being spared and given power. Most of the worshipers simply became slaves, of course, they didn't even understand that they were slaves, thinking that they had freedom and were valued by the demons who saw them as nothing but tools they can use. Some people, however, were valued and had ranks and positions amongst the demons, the most powerful amongst them being a former leader of a region that suddenly betrayed them, making the region fall to the demons in a matter of hours.

He was Tier V and had incredible strength, only beneath a handful of demons that were Tier VI. His betrayal was a huge blow to humanity that they still hadn't recovered from. When Laura arrived, she was immediately put into use, there was a battle going on and she quickly joined the battlefield, using her ability to heal humans and using her skills to wreak havoc on the demons.

Nobody even blinked after seeing her use demonic energy as there were possessed that appeared before her as well, demon hunters as well as a very popular class to choose from in this world since they could fight against the demons more efficiently this way. Having an ability that could both heal and deal damage to enemies was incredibly rare and Laura quickly shot up through the ranks, she was allowed more freedom compared to others and she slowly but surely did her missions.

The greatest challenge she had faced was at the very end, her squad which was formed by some of the most powerful people below Tier I was attacked by a Tier I demon. After a long and hard battle, Laura managed to surpass her limits and rank up her ability. The change in power was enough to in the end allow her and the others to win, not without any casualties, however.

Out of the original 12 members, 9 had survived, and only 7 of them would be able to continue fighting in the future as two were crippled by the demon. Their mana organs were damaged and some of their limbs were destroyed by demonic energy, making it near impossible to heal.

Laura's ability ranking up allowed her to take more life force from the fallen enemies, she was now able to use her ability more efficiently, costing her less demonic energy and life force to heal or use her skills. All in all, her ability had become stronger in every single aspect.

It was shortly after that that Laura finished her missions and left them, not before getting their information and promising that one day she would be back with backup. It was a promise she planned to fulfill, after she and the others became more powerful, she would try to convince them to come with her and destroy the demons together, of course, she would go by herself if need be and help everyone out.

That was something for the future however, for her and the others to become powerful enough to help the planet, they would need to be Tier VI at the very least which was going to take quite some time.

Tank on the other hand was simply put in a world that was similar to Earth during the middle ages. He was in a similar position as Reign where he was summoned and thanks to that was given plenty of opportunities to fight, the fights, however, weren't against other kingdoms and humans, but monsters.

Nothing climactic happened and he probably had the easiest missions out of them all, well, they were easy but incredibly time-consuming. Still, most of his missions were oriented to him defending others and pushing back the hordes of monsters, something he was incredibly familiar with.

As they stared at the humongous mountain range in front of them, the party members all steeled themselves, the monsters they would face inside would be much more powerful compared to the ones they faced before, still, as long as the monsters weren't many levels above them, they had full confidence of defeating them.

[ Players have entered the Beresnet Mountain Range ]

As Reign and the others entered the mountain range, they could immediately feel the difference, the air itself was different even though the grasslands were right behind them, just a step away.

The concentration of mana was high, much higher than in any other area and they could feel that using their skills and abilities here would be much easier, costing them less time and being more powerful than usual.

Reign and the others had no idea what kind of monsters they would face in this area, since it was a mountain range then there would definitely be some trolls, golems and powerful flying monsters should be present as well.

Perhaps there would even be dragons, drakes, or wyverns that they would face as well. Gnomes, dwarves, giants, they were all viable enemies that might show up as those were usually found on mountains as well.

How powerful each monster would be, nobody had any idea, but they knew they had to be careful.

"Alright guys, our main goal for this day is to try our best and find a safe zone, no matter how small or big it might be, if we can find it then tomorrow we can get some people to come with us and create the teleport gate there, making it far easier for us and for the people that would hit Tier I in the future to continue hunting." Reign said as they all nodded in confirmation and continued forward, as they did so they only walked for about 2 minutes before encountering their first enemy.

A mountain lion stood on a tree nearby, completely focused on eating a weird animal it had previously caught, unaware that it was being watched by Reign and the others.

[ Lvl 58 Rocky Mountain Lion ]

The mountain lion had a layer of rocks on its skin, making its defense much higher compared to other monsters of the same level, the thing that made Reign and the others ease up however was its strength.

"It hasn't gone through the first evolution." Reign said as he watched the mountain lion, he had no idea how monsters could go through the first evolution, but it seems that just like humans, they could also fail or continue leveling up without going through the evolution. Even though the mountain lion was of a higher level compared to them, it was much weaker since they had much higher stats after evolving.

"Well, let's take care of it and continue our way." Said Reign as Beast simply notched an arrow before firing at the mountain lion. The arrow, reinforced by Beast's mana hit the mountain lion before the monster could even respond, with a loud "thud", the arrow pierced deep inside the monster's head, killing it instantly.
