The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

"What should we do next? Should we prepare for a battle with Shadow Celestial?" At the entrance of the old headquarters of Angel Guild, Aron asked Irving with a serious expression.

Irving shook his head. "Even if we are going to fight Shadow Celestial, the battle won't start anytime soon. Shadow Celestial will definitely try to avoid us for as long as possible. I believe he will attempt to rapidly increase his power in a short time. Until he is certain that his strength can defeat us, he won't let us find him."

Irving had a good understanding of Shadow Celestial. He had collaborated with Shadow Celestial several times before. Throughout those collaborations, Shadow Celestial had always been extremely cautious. Even though Shadow Celestial possessed immense strength, he would often seek help from others to test the waters.

This characteristic of Shadow Celestial certainly had its advantages; the advantage was that he would not easily fall into traps. However, this trait also came with a disadvantage: Shadow Celestial could be easily intimidated. Irving utilized this weakness of Shadow Celestial, which allowed him to make his judgment with such confidence. Explore new worlds at empire

Aron slowly nodded. He did not know much about Shadow Celestial himself, but he trusted Irving's judgment.

"Let's head back to the Angel Guild headquarters for now. We need to share all the information we've gathered with the others. Additionally, we must warn them about the potential unexpected threats we might encounter."

Irving said this in a slightly disheartened tone. His words left Aron very confused; he didn't understand where these unexpected threats could be coming from.

"Unexpected threats? Sophia has been sealed, and according to you, Shadow Celestial should be avoiding us. So what other threats could we possibly face?"

Upon hearing Aron's question, Irving smiled. "You're right; for the time being, neither Sophia nor Shadow Celestial can pose a threat to us. But do you really think that apart from their threats, we don't need to worry about anything else?" At this point, Irving paused.

He directed his gaze towards the darkened sky not far away. The sky was ominously gloomy; although the sun had not yet set, no rays of sunlight could penetrate the thick clouds.

Aron followed Irving's line of sight. He furrowed his brow, unsure of what to say, and he did not understand the reason behind Irving's actions.

"There are countless threats lurking in the shadows! Whether in the world of Shelter Game or in the real world, many people are scheming against us from the dark," Irving said solemnly.

Aron finally understood what Irving meant. "I get it! Then let's return as quickly as possible. If you want to recover your strength, you need to rest for a few days. During this time, I will make sure we don't encounter any threats. You don't need to worry too much."

Aron was indeed a very responsible person. He recognized that Irving was not in the best condition, so he felt it was his duty to take on a more significant responsibility.

Irving was quite satisfied with Aron's response. "Alright then, let's proceed as you suggested."

With that, Irving and Aron returned to the headquarters of Angel Guild together. After they shared their experiences from the old headquarters with the others, the reactions varied significantly.

Although Anna was not very familiar with the old headquarters of Angel Guild, she knew there were many secrets hidden there. Therefore, her expression was somewhat serious.

Nick had only recently joined Angel Guild, so he appeared a bit curious.

James showed little emotion; although he was currently working alongside Angel Guild, he still felt that he was not truly a member of it. Thus, he had little interest in the things that existed in the old headquarters of Angel Guild. His only concern was whether the powerful entities within the old headquarters might pose a threat to him.

"That's the situation. You all need to be extra cautious during the next phase of our actions. We won't be entering the world of Shelter Game for the next week. We need to spend this week dealing with everything in the real world. After all, the disaster caused by Sophia has not been completely resolved yet," Aron stated directly.

Everyone turned their attention to Irving. While they agreed with Aron's plan, they were still very concerned about Irving's opinion.

Irving smiled and nodded. "I think Aron's plan is sound. I'm not in good shape, so I need to take some time to recuperate. During this period, you all should follow Aron's lead."

Since Irving had said this, the others naturally had no further hesitation. Under Aron's guidance, everyone was assigned their respective tasks to carry out.

Nick and James headed to Starling City together. Although the werewolves in Starling City had mostly been eliminated, there were still some hiding in the dark corners. While the threat posed by these werewolves was not significant, they still carried the power of the Blood Moon. To prevent the Blood Moon's power from posing a threat to the civilians in Starling City afterward, Nick and James needed to eliminate all the hidden werewolves along with their Blood Moon powers.

Anna had a relatively simple task. Given that the corruption from the chaotic power within her was worsening, Anna did not possess much combat strength. Therefore, she only needed to stay at the headquarters of Angel Guild, where she would be responsible for coordinating everyone's actions.

Aron, on the other hand, would personally go to the headquarters of Ocean Group. He hoped to have Benjamin lead all the forces of the Ocean Group's security department to cooperate with his upcoming actions. The operation Aron was personally responsible for would target the Night Blades. After a series of previous crises, Aron felt that the Night Blades needed to be completely eradicated. He had already gathered intel on the locations of certain Night Blades' secret bases, and his goal was to clear them all out.

To ensure that this operation would be successful, he needed Benjamin's assistance. Aron didn't approach Benjamin directly; instead, he asked Irving to inform Benjamin about the specific situation before he did. Benjamin agreed to Aron's plan over the phone. However, before executing the plan, Benjamin and Aron needed to meet in person to finalize all the details.

"Your plan is flawless. I won't interfere with your specific strategies. I will focus all my energy on restoring my own strength," Irving said, clearly satisfied with Aron's arrangements.

Irving believed that his most important task at the moment was to recover his condition as quickly as possible. If he couldn't restore himself to peak form soon, they would all soon face a significant threat. Although Irving thought that Shadow Celestial wouldn't act too quickly, he also knew that it wouldn't be too slow. Shadow Celestial had already acquired at least two chaotic artifacts. If Shadow Celestial managed to fully convert the powers of these two artifacts into his own strength, he could overpower Irving.

If Irving's state had not recovered by that time, Shadow Celestial could easily eliminate both Irving and his companions. Faced with such a massive sense of crisis, Irving needed to concentrate all his efforts on regaining his strength.

With that in mind, Irving returned to his home.

He recounted everything he had encountered to Wendy. Having gone through several crises herself, Wendy was not overly surprised by the events he described. However, when she heard that Irving had nearly been killed by the power of the Blood Moon, her expression turned unusually tense.

"Why do you take on such great risks? You're not the only one who faces the threat of the Blood Moon's power. Why do you always have to shoulder the most difficult tasks?" Wendy asked, voicing her most pressing concern after listening to Irving's account.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Wendy had known Irving for a long time, and she believed she understood him well. Yet, Irving always seemed to do things that exceeded her expectations. She couldn't comprehend why he consistently put himself in such perilous situations to save others.

Irving managed a wry smile in response to Wendy's inquiry. "You might not believe this, but the main reason I go to rescue them is that I will need them to save me in the future. When the apocalypse comes, I won't be able to face the crisis alone. My companions will be the most important people to help me deal with the impending disaster."

Wendy's confusion deepened with Irving's answer. Although she had heard Irving mention the coming apocalypse many times, she had never believed that it would actually happen. To her, the notion of an apocalypse was simply non-existent.

"So, do the companions you speak of include me? Am I someone who could save you in the future?" Although Wendy didn't believe in the apocalypse, she was still very concerned about her ability to help Irving when the time came.

Irving smiled and reached out to pat Wendy on the head. "When the apocalypse arrives, you will definitely fight alongside me. You will certainly help me, and without your support, I don't think I could successfully face the crisis of the apocalypse."

Irving's response finally brought a smile to Wendy's face. "That's good to hear! No matter what happens, I will stand by your side. I will never betray you!" Wendy said firmly.

Irving nodded, fully believing that Wendy was speaking the truth. "You should rest here. I'll go make you something to eat! Since you need to recover to your best condition in the shortest time possible, I will do my best to help you. I'll cook your favorite dishes."

After saying this, Wendy headed to the kitchen. She hoped to ensure that Irving would eat well, believing that doing so would help him recover his strength faster.
