The Eternal Night Rampart

Once every ninety-nine years, the Abyssal Tide comes.

Ji Linzhou's father died in battle. All he left behind was a dilapidated fortress, three hundred people waiting to die, and a monster carrying his helmet in its jaws.

Everyone thought Outpost No. 7 was finished.

But that night, Ji Linzhou wrested the helmet from the monster's mouth and discovered a core hidden inside. The core grew hot in his hand: he had awakened the talent of a City Builder.

Slay monsters, take their cores, and build them into the city walls. Stone Demon cores make walls that grow on their own. Shadow Demon cores make towers that can turn invisible.

Others defend their cities with source crystals, reinforcements, and handouts from the Royal Court.

Ji Linzhou defends his city by killing.

Zhao Ting wants his fortress. Gray Tower Academy wants his talent. The Abyssal Cult wants his life.

Ji Linzhou planted his blade in the ground.

"One comes, one dies. An army comes, an army gets buried."

Others defend their cities with resources. I defend mine by killing monsters.

Every wall bears an enemy's epitaph.
