“Soda: Liar. That’s a monster den. You’re trying to bait people into a wipe. What’s your game?”

“Truthseeker: Did anyone see that massive beacon in the northwest? A Platinum Chest! Whoever gets that is basically a god, right?”

“Avalon: Warning! The northwest Platinum Chest is a target for the Sanctuary Guild! Stay away or be executed on sight!”

“Random_B: Pfft, sixty miles away. By the time you walk there, the snow will have buried you. That chest is just the system teasing us.”

“FayLulu: “Why are you guys still joking? The people living near that marker are probably already making their move.”

Seeing the threats and disinformation, Riley was certain this event was a brutal culling.

“Time is money. If we’re slow, some lucky scrub near the marker might actually snatch it,” Riley thought.

She finished a quick wash, adjusted her gear, and finally toggled her “Unlucky Fool” title.

Apparently, the Carnival pings were a special world event and weren’t suppressed by her title, since everyone could see them.

She walked into the living room where Neeko, Ash, and the treant were already awake and moving.

Neeko rubbed her sleepy eyes, looking confused. “Riley… what’s happening?”

“Today, the world is full of treasures!”

Riley began barking out assignments while helping Neeko into a thick parka. She was going for the Platinum, but she wasn’t leaving the local loot for others.

“Neeko, PineappleBeer and I are going on a long trek for a big prize. You’re in charge of the house and Joseph’s crew today.”

“Ash!”

Riley pointed to the bird on the sofa. “You provide air recon for them.”

“Joseph’s team will handle the hauling. Any chest you find near the base, bring it inside. Neeko, you shift into a bear and pull the large wooden sled!

“Remember: if strangers show up, don’t fight. Retreat to the base and wait for me. The shield and turrets will keep you safe.”

Hearing the word “treasures,” Neeko’s eyes lit up.

“Got it! Move all the shinies! Neeko will wait for you!”

Neeko nodded firmly, already looking like she wanted to transform on the spot.

With the home front secured, Riley pushed open the door and stepped into the yard.

Neeko and the others moved to the workshop to grab the sled and meet up with Joseph.

Just then, the portal runes flared to life.

Whirrr-

The spatial distortion faded, and Pineapple Beer appeared on the stone platform.

She was dressed for a war, her waist lined with potions and a massive rucksack on her back.

“Huff… Riley, let’s go! No time to waste! I burned my agility potions and TartKing gave me some snacks–let’s move while the buffs are live!”

PineappleBeer started toward the gate immediately, her breath puffing out in long white plumes. “Sixty miles is no joke. We need a perfect route to avoid the deep powder and the dens. I checked the map; we have to cross a Deadwood Grove, it might be infested with ghouls…”

Her mind was entirely focused on the grueling survival trek ahead.

However, Riley stayed put, arms crossed, wearing a smirk that said she knew something

neappleBeer didn’t.

Pineapple Beer blinked, her brow furrowing in confusion.

Inside the simple shed, there were no crates or scrap–only two fierce–looking black machines.
