“System: Target has left the Shadow’s Favor environment. Stat buff’s neutralized! All attributes significantly weakened!”

The commotion terrified the monkeys inside the hollows; only a few brave ones dared to poke their heads out to watch the show.

“It works!” Riley cheered.

The Ash Serpent tried to crawl back to the safety of the dark, but the girls weren’t about to let it go.

Pineapple Beer leaped onto the snake’s head.

Her daggers were a blur of cold steel. Without the black energy protection, her blades sank deep into the serpent’s eyes, driving straight into its brain.

Riley followed up, swinging her dual axes in wide arcs, hacking into the beast’s most vulnerable spots.

Deprived of its buffs, the serpent was no match for them.

Its massive body gave one final, violent twitch before going limp.

The black mist vanished, and the carcass dissolved into white light.

“Killed Lv. 14 Ash Serpent (Night–corrupted).”

“Obtained Experience: 200,”

“Current XP: LV. 15 568/1000”

A few loot orbs hovered over the dirt.

Riley walked over to claim them.

“Obtained: Venomous Fangs x 4”

“Obtained: Tough Serpent Hide x 2”

“Obtained: Basic Weapon Upgrade Card x 6”

“Wait, what?”

Riley stared at the six shimmering cards in her hand, her mouth falling open.

Normally, you’d need a Silver Chest to even have a chance at one of these.

And they just got six from a single Level 14 mob?

Pineapple Beer leaned over to look. “The rewards for Night–mobs must be scaled up. I only saw the Long Night once before I was eliminated, but the loot was always insane.”

Riley nodded slowly. “The rewards are great, but the difficulty is a joke.”

Riley stared at the churning black fog with a lingering chill. “A Level 14 trash mob got buffed into a Boss. If we hadn’t figured out the light mechanic, we would’ve had to burn every ultimate we have just to survive.

TartKing ran over then, carrying bottles of blue mana potions and some fresh honey cakes.

“Riley, PineappleBeer, eat up! You look like you need a reset”

Riley took a bite of the cake, the sweet flavor taking the edge off her frayed nerves.

“Thanks, TartKing.”

The three sat at the edge of the light, recovering their stats while staring warily into the surrounding void.

The monkeys had quieted down too, though some of the younger ones were scurrying around the spot where the serpent died as if celebrating.

The wind began to pick up.

Woooooo-

The sound echoing through the Deadwood Grove was haunting–the wind whistling through the hollow trees sounded like the wailing of a thousand ghosts.

Riley finished her potion and was about to close her eyes for a quick rest.

Suddenly, Riley froze, detecting a different frequency hidden in the wind.

Riley snapped her eyes open and looked at the other two. “Did you hear that?”

“Hear what?” PineappleBeer asked, pausing while wiping her daggers. “Just the wind, right?”

“No. Voices.”

Riley stood up and walked to the very edge of the illumination, straining her ears.

The sound was faint, choppy, carried intermittently by the gusts.

“Burger!”

“Thursday!”

Pineapple Beer and TartKing fell silent, listening intently.

“I think I hear it too,” PineappleBeer whispered.

The three exchanged a look, their expressions turning skeptical in an instant.

Thursday? What on earth is that?” TartKing asked, blinking in confusion.
