I summon the heroic spirits of China in the infinite world.

[29 days until the great disaster strikes.]

[Summoners surviving on this map: 100/100.]

"?"

Looking at the information on his retina, a question mark appeared on Li Ming's face.

He had just finished the college entrance examination and was struggling with whether to apply to Tsinghua University or Peking University, since he couldn't get into either one anyway.

Suddenly everything went black, and I found myself in this unfamiliar place.

The barren land was devoid of any vegetation, with only a simple wooden hut in sight.

"Ugh...!"

As a flood of memories rushed into his mind, he immediately lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I finally accepted reality.

He crossed.

They traveled to a world called Huanxing, which is quite similar to the 21st-century Blue Star in terms of ecology, technology, and culture.

But there is one big difference: there is a threat on the planet Huanxing—monsters.

A thing that harbors immense malice towards humanity, and is numerous and diverse.

In this world plagued by monsters, only the heroic spirits controlled by the [Summoner] can stand against them.

To become a summoner, one must enter various dungeon worlds called the [Cube Universe] to acquire abilities.

The original owner was an eighteen-year-old orphan in Chaobei City whose dream was to become a powerful summoner.

So when he reached the required age, he applied to enter the instance to undergo the newbie trial.

As a result, he died tragically on the very first night in the territory, and his soul, who had traveled through time, took over the territory.

"The priority right now is how to survive tonight."

As dawn broke, he looked at the sky, which was already darkening.

Each instance world has a different environment and mechanics, and in this instance world called [Wasteland], the night is very dangerous.

Monsters lurk during the day and emerge at night.

They are brutal and will attack all living beings indiscriminately.

They are so powerful that they are beyond human capability to fight against.

The most crucial point is that this thing is almost immortal.

The only way to kill monsters is through Heroic Spirits.

The original owner was both poor and daring, unable to afford even the lowest-level Heroic Spirit Card, and thus entered the dungeon empty-handed.

He deserved to be hanged.

"You just need to hang up, but I have a lot to consider."

This resulted in Dawn being implicated, leaving them with no resources to resist.

So he began to carefully examine everything within his territory.

The dilapidated little wooden cabin might offer some shelter; there was a well in front of it, and some logs and an axe nearby.

Pushing open the door and stepping inside, you can still see dry rations on the table.

This is the standard equipment for every new summoner in the trial dungeon, which can solve the most basic survival problem.

In addition, there is a crystal stone emitting a faint blue light in the corner of the wooden house.

The stone is about half a person's height and has a cubic shape.

Perhaps due to the death of its original owner, it became somewhat dull and lifeless within a single day, and even a tiny wild grass sprouted from its bottom.

"Cubestone..."

"Dawn said softly."

The Cube Stone is the core of the Summoner, and once developed, it can possess many effects.

For example, it can provide buffs to friendly heroes within a certain range, or even revive them.

But since I don't have any Heroic Spirits right now, this stone is basically useless.

He reached out and tried to shake the cube, finding it to be very heavy.

The summoner's death or the destruction of the cube in the dungeon will result in the failure of the raid.

Some of the dungeon cubes are very small and can be moved.

In this instance, the locations are fixed and need to be protected by the summoner.

"Let's figure out a way to patch up the hole first."

Li Ming turned his gaze to the broken wall at the other end of the room and sighed helplessly.

Thinking that the wooden house can provide shelter is wishful thinking; last night, the monster broke through the wall and broke in from here.

Since I'm just idling around anyway, doing nothing would feel like resigning myself to my fate.

He didn't want to accept his fate.

So, after some effort, Dawn managed to fill the hole with whatever tools she could find.

After this was done, night officially fell.

"bring it on."

Through the wide gaps in the wooden planks, you could see a faint halo of light on the ground outside, about the size of a basketball court.

In this instance, the radiation range of the cubes can repel monsters to some extent.

Gazing at the scene outside, he gripped the axe tightly in his hand; all he could do now was wait.

Perhaps because of the monsters that roam here, the nights are exceptionally quiet.

Even though there was no sound around, Li Ming's palms were getting increasingly damp.

No, it's not that there's absolutely no activity.

I could still hear my own heart pounding clearly.

He kept a watchful eye on the outside world, gradually losing track of time.

Just as a hint of sleepiness was beginning to creep in, a sound like a low hum came from outside.

"Gah..."

A swaying figure appeared at the edge of the territory.

By the bright moonlight, dawn could barely make it visible.

It was a skeleton wielding a sword and shield, with eerie blue flames burning in its dark eye sockets, and its bones creaking as it walked.

A sense of familiarity drew his gaze to the blade stained with dried blood.

Last night, this guy chopped off the original owner's head.

The phantom pain made Dawn subconsciously touch her neck, where there was a noticeable ring-shaped scar.

The miraculous power of time travel repaired the damaged body, but it did not erase the terrible memories.

"quack!"

Perhaps sensing the presence of life, the skeleton excitedly twitched its jawbone repeatedly.

Holding the rusty broadsword, he strode towards the wooden house.

Moreover, it appears to be pointing in the direction of the hole he just repaired.

Li Ming hurriedly approached the cave entrance, wiped the sweat from his hands with the hem of his robe, and raised his axe: "You chopped off my head once, so it's not too much for me to chop you off once, is it?"

Even if he's destined to die tonight, he'll get his revenge.

boom!

As expected, the already flimsy patched wooden planks were knocked open, and the skeleton stepped in.

The interior of a house without lights is actually less bright than the outside.

But those two will-o'-the-wisps of light provided a point of reference for dawn.

So he swung the axe with all his might!

He didn't believe that monsters were truly immortal, as he hadn't seen them with his own eyes.

click!

The slender skull neck was severed in two by a heavy axe, and the bare, white skull flew high into the air.

But before the skull could even hit the ground, it turned into a wisp of gray smoke and re-condensed on the neck.

"You win."

Now that Li Ming believed it, he turned and ran away.

But the attack hadn't hindered the skeleton at all, and he had underestimated its agility.

The broadsword was already coming down towards his head.

As dawn approached, he unleashed the fastest reaction speed he had ever displayed in his life.

The blade grazed just past her cheek, leaving a long, narrow wound.

The adrenaline made him temporarily ignore the pain of his flesh being torn apart, but he couldn't stop the inertia of twisting his body and trying his best to dodge.

boom!

He fell heavily against the corner of the wall, and drops of blood splattered out and landed right on the cubic stone.

The blood droplets touched the stone surface and were immediately absorbed without a trace.

The next second, a stream of information burst into my mind.
