Confessing to someone who thinks I'm a fat otaku, and then crying when monsters descend?

[Countdown to the Blood Moon Calamity: 3 hours]

As dusk fell.

Normally, this would be the busiest time of the night market, a vibrant and lively scene with bright lights and bustling activity.

But the streets were deserted.

The doors and windows were tightly closed.

A law enforcement patrol car passed by, equipped with a loudspeaker, repeatedly broadcasting:

[All ordinary citizens are urged to stay home, keep doors and windows closed, and refrain from going out unnecessarily.]

[All ordinary citizens are urged to stay home, keep doors and windows closed, and refrain from going out unnecessarily.]

There are too many residents in Linhai City! Some important figures have been housed in air-raid shelters, students are being protected at their schools, and the rest have to stay at home.

Linhai City University.

The huge indoor gymnasium was packed with thousands of students.

Xia Wen and her best friend were also inside.

An officer in front of the police was shouting through a megaphone: "If there are any volunteers who want to go to the front lines, please come and register with me. I hope everyone can do their part to protect our homeland!"

Her best friend whispered, "Xiaowen, shouldn't we be going to the front lines?"

"Go to hell!"

Xia Wen rolled her eyes: "We're only level 50. Is fighting monsters our job? That's for the high-level powerhouses!"

"But... I have a friend who's level 45 and went too... Is it really a good idea for us to hide here?"

"Heh, if you want to die, go ahead, I won't stop you."

.......

dugout.

The people gathered here are all either rich or powerful.

Liu Xingchen was one of them; after all, he was a small business owner.

Unlike others, he secretly brought along several superhuman bodyguards, claiming they were his family members, and they hid together inside.

"Boss..."

One of the bodyguards scratched his head and said, "I see a lot of people have gone to the front lines, but we're staying in the safest place. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"I'm the one who pays your salaries. Your job is to protect me, so what are you doing here?"

Liu Xingchen spat out a mouthful of phlegm: "If you leave, who will protect me if that monster charges in?"

"But......"

"What a load of rubbish! I brought you all in here, you should be grateful, why are you rushing to your deaths?"

Liu Xingchen glanced to the side and saw that the middle-aged man was still making phone calls, his face gloomy.

The middle-aged man is named Chen Huirong, Chen Nian's biological father, but Liu Xingchen is now his new "son". They are a blended family after their divorce.

"Dad, we still can't get in touch with Chen Nian?"

"Yes, that brat has disappeared somewhere!"

"Hey, he's probably being protected at school, don't worry!"

Liu Xingchen actually hoped that Chen Nian would go to the front line and die, so that he wouldn't have to disgust him like a cockroach all the time.

On the other side of the air-raid shelter, Chen Nian's mother also tried to contact him.

Although both parents have started new families after their divorce, they still think of their son at times like this.

"Mom, is my brother in here too?"

The girl who spoke was Ning Ziqing, seventeen years old, the daughter of a blended family, and Chen Nian's younger sister.

"He... doesn't know, the call didn't go through."

"Where is my brother? I've wanted to see him for so long!"

"I don't know, I hope he's alright..."

.......

An ordinary family.

Xiao Liu is a father and was also a player in the game "Calamity".

However, instead of volunteering to fight on the front lines, he chose to stay at home, close the doors and windows, and hide with his wife and children.

"I stayed home to protect my family...that's right!"

He kept reassuring himself with this thought.

But he knew in truth that he was acting out of cowardice!

"Those people have no idea how terrifying the Blood Moon Calamity is. I've experienced it myself... Ordinary people who go there will most likely just become cannon fodder."

"I don't want to die, what's wrong with me hiding at home?"

At this moment, the television is broadcasting footage from the front lines, where people are fully equipped and ready to go. While reporting, the reporter is also continuing to recruit.

"With disaster looming, I hope everyone with the ability will step forward! With united will, we will surely overcome this challenge!"

My five-year-old son watched it, pointed at the TV, and asked, "Daddy, Daddy, when can I be like them? I want to fight monsters too!"

"...Don't make a sound."

Xiao Liu felt a sharp pain in his heart.

After hearing his son's words, he felt even more like a good-for-nothing.

.......

front.

Qin Yu was also one of the volunteers.

Don't let her appearance as a delicate eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl fool you; she's actually a level eighty-something powerhouse, stronger than most people!

Of course, this was also thanks to the help of Chen Nian and a few friends.

"Xiaoyu, we might not be able to take care of you later, so you have to take good care of yourself."

"That's what Fatty Deng Rongrong said."

I couldn't help but add in my mind, "If Chen Nian were here, we wouldn't need to take care of you..."

"I know, I'll be careful."

"Sigh, I wonder if I'll live or die later!"

After thinking it over, Deng Rongrong said, "Xiaoyu, how about I tell you a secret? Actually, Chen Nian... uh."

Turning my head, I saw that Qin Yu had already picked up her phone and walked away.

"He probably called Chen Nian again..."

"I wonder where my older brother went. Could he not be in Linhai City?"

"Impossible! Where could he go? He can't possibly abandon us and run off to another city, can he? Xiaoyu is still here!"

"Don't forget, there are quite a few women who like Big Brother, and they're all much better than Xiao Yu. For example, Ye Hongling, the daughter of the Dragon Kingdom's Great General, and Zhao Yixue, the Zhao family's penniless little princess..."

"Well, you're right! Then let's not tell Xiaoyu, so as not to upset her."

........

[Countdown to the Blood Moon Calamity: 30 minutes]

At that moment, a subtitle message appeared simultaneously in front of all the superhumans.

[Attention all players! The Gate of Calamity has opened! Monsters are about to attack!]

Meanwhile, the drones patrolling overhead have detected the so-called "Gate of Calamity" and have transmitted images back.

Those were teleportation arrays that resembled chaotic vortexes!

One after another, they covered the plain, and at a glance there were at least a thousand!

It's like a chaotic starry sea.

"All the chaotic vortexes are in the east of the city!"

"Pass down the order: all troops assemble at the east side of the city and prepare for battle!"

"Launch missiles and attempt to destroy the portal!" Command issued the order.

Soon, the fighter jets positioned overhead began to move.

Two long-range precision-guided missiles drew two brilliant arcs in the night sky before exploding with a bang!

However, the spectacular fireworks display did not achieve any results.

"Report: The Chaos Vortex is intact! That thing seems impossible to destroy..."

"We have already summoned superhuman support; we must try every possible means!"

Soon, several extraordinary individuals took to the air, attempting to destroy the chaotic vortex. However, none of them succeeded, and they had to give up in the end.

Finally, the countdown has reached zero!

In an instant, the blood moon hung in the sky, turning the sky a dark red.

At the same time, a bright red warning appeared before everyone's eyes.

The Blood Moon Calamity has arrived!

[World Ranking List Now Open!]

...

.......

PS: Let me explain the mechanism of "Destiny." It's not actually that overpowered. You can only draw the next Destiny after the effect of the previous one has been consumed. For example, if the protagonist draws the effect of healing injuries, they cannot draw it again unless they are injured again.

Next, thank you for the gift!
