The city slept like a corpse—stupid, quiet, unaware, ripe for slaughter.
Rose-Metal hovered above cracked rooftops, her plating catching fractured moonlight. Cannon-leg retracted, claws flexing. Amber eyes scanned every shadow. Every alley, every rooftop, every gutter held a potential kill.

She smirked. "Level 53 already. Cute. Let's see who's lucky tonight."
First Target
A lone gang member staggered into the street, hoodie soaked with stolen liquor, knives in hand, eyes wild.
Rose-Metal teleported above him. Cannon-leg snapped forward; the first knife embedded itself into the street beneath him.
He didn't scream. She sliced through his chest, plating merging with flesh. Blood sprayed like broken wires, steaming in the cold night.
[Kill Registered. Level +1]
She crouched on a lamppost shard, licking residue from her claws. "Weak. Absolutely pathetic."
Urban Dungeon
A portal cracked open under the bridge. Concrete fragments floated, black sludge seeped from every crack, and sparks of fractured electricity danced in the air. Monsters poured through:
Rat-demons with glimmering fangs.
Blade-armored zombies fused with rusted metal.
Warped humans, eyes hollow, muttering broken chants.
She moved like a storm. Teleporting, slicing, shooting. Bullets tore torsos. Claws ripped heads off. Magic pulses shattered limbs. Acid hissed on her plating, healed instantly.
[Kill Registered. Level +3]
[Kill Registered. Level +5]
A mini-boss emerged: a spider-human hybrid, legs metal-plated, fangs dripping black acid. Its scream split the air.
Amber eyes gleamed. "Finally… some fun."
She teleported mid-air. Cannon-leg tore a leg off. Obsidian blade severed a jaw. Acid sizzled on her plating, instantly healed.

[Dungeon Cleared. Level +3]
Level 73.
Crew Interference
Two crews arrived, curious or stupid:
Jhene, violet chains whipping across shards.
Verma, cyber-sniper, eyes flickering with tech.
Shadow warlock, muttering curses, eyes flickering like broken glass.
"Rose-Metal," Jhene spat. "This hunt is ours!"
She smirked. Cannon-leg flicked—Jhene's head exploded. Chains shredded. Sniper vaporized mid-shot. Warlock screamed as she tore his spine out.
[Kill Registered. Level +3]
[Kill Registered. Level +2]
[Kill Registered. Level +2]
Level 83.
"Anyone else?" She licked blood from her lips. "No? Good. Keep running your mouths."
Aftermath
The streets reeked of blood, acid, and burnt metal. Shadows moved, but none dared approach.
[Infinite Progression Active]
[Next Dungeon Available: Subverse Sewers — Level 100+]
She flexed her claws, cannon-leg retracting with a metallic click.
"Step out of line, I kill. Step into my path, I erase. Offend me, vanish. Simple rules."
Amber eyes glimmered in the night. The hunt had only just begun.
