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

Deep within a jungle in the Shelter Game world, several werewolves were aimlessly wandering about. They seemed to be waiting for something to arrive. The sky was pitch black, devoid of any light.

Suddenly, a pink moon appeared in an instant. The entire jungle was illuminated by the pink moonlight, and at the same time, the wandering werewolves raised their heads, their eyes fixated on the blood-red moon in the sky.

All the werewolves let out a howl. The howls of the werewolves intertwined, and amidst this cacophony, a pink figure gradually emerged. This pink figure was Sophia.

After escaping from Irving's pursuit, Sophia found a passage in the real world that allowed her to quickly return to the Shelter Game world. Although this passage enabled her to return swiftly, it also significantly weakened her. Almost all the power of the Blood Moon was concentrated within Sophia.

Sophia's weakening meant that the power of the Blood Moon itself had also been diminished. At that moment, Sophia was not in a very good state; as her figure was fully outlined, she could not maintain her balance and fell directly to the ground. Continue reading on My Virtual Library Empire

The werewolves that were howling around her hurried over to Sophia's side, quickly helping her up. Sophia, with a weary expression on her face, struggled to stand. After surveying her surroundings and confirming that there was no immediate danger, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"The power of the Blood Moon has undergone further mutation. I cannot use too much of its power before the apocalypse arrives. I must prepare for the coming of the end."

Sophia had already sensed a significant change in the power she wielded. Although she did not yet know the reason behind the mutation of the Blood Moon's power, she believed that as long as her powers were undergoing change, the situations she would face would become much worse than before.

Even though Sophia had successfully escaped from her seal, Irving remained her enemy. Irving would certainly not let Sophia off easily. Meanwhile, her previous allies were all occupied with their own affairs; neither Elder Astra nor Shadow Celestial seemed willing to offer Sophia any assistance.

Sophia's situation had become worse than before. After pondering for a while, she finally made a decisive resolution. She decided to command the werewolves she could control to move deeper into the Shelter Game world.

The pink moon in the sky would guide her in finding a way to strengthen the power of the Blood Moon. Thus, Sophia, accompanied by the werewolves, moved forward into the unknown, following the guidance of the Blood Moon.

In reality, the pink moon in the sky did not physically exist; only Sophia and the werewolves could see it. This pink moon was merely a symbol of the Blood Moon's power. By following the symbol of the Blood Moon's power, Sophia encountered the least danger along her path.

However, despite the protection of the Blood Moon's power, the depths of the Shelter Game world were filled with unknown dangers. Although many players had already entered the Shelter Game, whether they were ordinary humans or highly gifted individuals like Irving, they were continuously exploring the world.

To date, the areas they had explored were not particularly extensive. The Ruins of the Abyss of Death marked the farthest reaches of human exploration in the Shelter Game world. Countless dangers lay hidden in the unknown regions.

If Sophia had not been pushed into such a perilous situation, she would not have easily ventured into unexplored areas of the Shelter Game world. Guided by the Blood Moon, Sophia and her werewolves soon entered a region of the Shelter Game world that had never been reached by anyone before.

At first, Sophia and the werewolves under her control encountered no dangers. However, as time passed, her mood began to darken. Although she still had not encountered any monsters, she felt as if something was watching her every move from the shadows.

"What is going on? Is there really a hidden monster nearby? Why aren't these monsters attacking me? Could it be that the power I wield is stronger than theirs?" Sophia's anxiety grew, becoming more pronounced than before.

However, she did not act impulsively; as someone with extensive combat experience, Sophia understood the importance of gathering sufficient intelligence before taking action. Despite her various concerns, her expression remained calm.

She continued to lead the werewolves forward. After a while, a towering wall suddenly appeared in front of Sophia. This wall had appeared abruptly in her path, and she had had no prior awareness of it.

Although the area Sophia found herself in was relatively dim, she possessed the power of the Blood Moon. Under normal circumstances, this power should have enabled her to detect anomalies in the darkness.

The moment she laid eyes on the towering wall, Sophia quickly used the Blood Moon's power to construct a barrier around her body. Although her reaction was incredibly swift, she was still unable to successfully defend herself.

Before the barrier constructed from the Blood Moon's power could fully form, a massive maw filled with sharp teeth lunged at Sophia, ready to bite down on her.

In a split second, Sophia made a quick judgment. She realized that there was no way she could confront the monster before her with her current power. Sophia transformed into a beam of pink moonlight and fled.

While Sophia was able to escape, the werewolves she commanded were not able to run away. The moment Sophia vanished, the werewolves surrounding her were immediately swallowed by the monstrous maw.

Then, the sounds of the werewolves' anguished screams and the crunching of bones erupted from within that gaping mouth. At this moment, Sophia was still not far from the monster in its maw form; she could clearly hear the screams and the sound of bones being shattered.

Sophia was beginning to feel regret. She thought that she should not have ventured so recklessly into the unknown areas of the Shelter Game world. However, it was now too late for regrets. Even if Sophia wanted to turn back, she would not be able to evade these monsters.

The pink moon in the sky continued to emit its glow, seemingly conveying an order for Sophia to press on.

"The power of the Blood Moon seems to have regained a sense of self-awareness! It is urging me to keep moving forward! If I stop here, the power within me will surely weaken rapidly."

Sophia had come to realize that she could no longer fully control the power of the Blood Moon. The pink moon in the sky appeared to have transformed into a new self-awareness of the Blood Moon's power. If Sophia did not act according to its will, the Blood Moon's power would soon abandon her.

Under these circumstances, Sophia had no choice but to grit her teeth and continue onward. Before her lay an absolute darkness, while twisted monsters lurked behind her. At this point, Sophia could only rely on the power of the Blood Moon to continue providing her assistance.

As Sophia explored unknown territories, Elder Astra was tirelessly seeking out the Lava Giant and various monsters infused with fire power in the Lava Mountains. Elder Astra had already resolved to enhance his strength as much as possible before the apocalypse arrived.

While his primary power was that of darkness, rapidly increasing dark power was nearly impossible. Furthermore, a swift enhancement of dark power would raise the alarm of Shadow Celestial. Therefore, Elder Astra ultimately decided to master a new power in a short amount of time.

Among the powers that were relatively easier to grasp were those of various elements. The power of fire represented the fire element. Moreover, Elder Astra happened to know of an area where the fire power was concentrated—this area was, of course, the Lava Mountains.

When Elder Astra arrived at the Lava Mountains, the main peak was continuously erupting. A substantial amount of magma gushed forth from the volcano's crater, unleashing powerful flames that quickly spread to the surrounding areas. Most of this fiery power would be absorbed by the Lava Giant and other fire-infused monsters, enhancing their strength in the process. A smaller portion of this power would combine with ordinary creatures, transforming them into monsters with formidable combat capabilities.

Elder Astra's goal was to prevent the fiery energy of the magma from spreading to the nearby areas. To achieve this, he had specifically brought a tool from the Night Blades' headquarters: the Flame Collector Net.

The Flame Collector Net appeared to be an ordinary fishing net. However, when someone grasped it, they could feel their body heat rapidly dissipating. The Flame Collector Net could absorb all the fire energy it came into contact with. Once the collected fire energy became sufficiently powerful, it would coalesce at the center of the net and manifest as fire gems.

Using this method, Elder Astra collected numerous fire gems. After gathering ten fire gems, he quickly returned to his castle with them. He intended to use his unique spells within the castle to transfer the fire energy from the gems into himself. With a sufficiently strong fire power, he would be able to wield fire spells in battle.

While the fire power obtained in this way could not be used with great flexibility, it could still play a significant role in combat. "If I had fire spells during my battle with Irving, I wouldn't have been defeated so quickly. I could have used my fire spells to disrupt Irving's Taikoo Flame Pearl's power."

Elder Astra was actually making some misjudgments; he was unaware of the true nature of the Taikoo Flame Pearl's power that Irving possessed. He merely thought it was a unique form of fire energy. This misunderstanding drove him to urgently collect fire power.
