Doomsday Descends: I Can Extract Monster Genes

[The latest version of Earth Online, “Doomsday Descends: Survival,” has finished loading. The update will be complete in sixty seconds. All players, please get ready!]

[Countdown: 60, 59, 58... 3, 2, 1!]

[Version update complete. Good luck surviving, players!]

The inexplicable announcement sent the whole world into a frenzy of panic and excitement. The sixty-second countdown was over in a flash, and monsters from another realm swarmed in.

People discovered that killing monsters unlocked a character status screen and granted them a randomly selected supernatural ability. A feast called “survival” had begun, though it was really all about plunder.

Ren Xie was practicing alone on a sports field when he bashed a sneaking goblin over the head with the wrench he carried. He awakened the SSS-rank ability [Perfect Organism], then discovered he could extract genes from monsters...

Discarding the dross and keeping the best, Ren Xie became a perfect organism in the truest sense.
