The portal hissed open in the middle of a crumbling plaza, warping the streets into jagged fragments of reality. Gravity shifted sideways, shadows stretched unnaturally, and the air tasted of ozone and burning metal.
Rose-Metal stepped forward, cannon-leg retracted, obsidian blade in hand. Rose-metal plating shimmered faintly, veins pulsing crimson. Amber eyes scanned the fractured landscape. Every corner promised death. She grinned. "Finally, a real playground."
Dungeon Entry
She leapt into the portal. Time fractured. One second she was on the cracked plaza, the next in a cavernous void of floating streets, shattered glass, and black sludge rivers.
Creatures poured from every angle:
Chrome-scaled serpents with glowing eyes.
Giant skeletal wolves with obsidian fangs.
Shadow warlocks casting spells that warped the very air.
Every step she took left faint rose-metal footprints glowing in the void. Every movement was fluid, untouchable, endless.
Solo Rampage
She blinked, cannon-leg snapping out. Bullets tore through enemies before they even realized she was there. Claws, fangs, and spells met her plating—rose-metal absorbed it all.

She jumped, twisting midair. Obsidian blade sliced through a shadow warlock, magic dissipating in black sparks. Her laughter echoed, hollow and sharp.
"Is that all? Pathetic."
A giant serpent lunged. She phased through its strike, appearing behind it. Cannon-leg fired in a sweeping arc. Its body shredded.

Elite Mini-Boss
A rift opened above the dungeon floor. From it emerged a half-demon, half-cyber dragon, plated in black and rose-metal, wings jagged, claws molten. Its roar split the fractured reality.
Rose-Metal smirked. "Finally, something that's not garbage."
She dashed forward with unlimited speed, slashing claws and bullets combining in a storm of destruction. Dragon fire splashed, rose-metal plating resisting heat.

Level 287.
She paused to look at the shredded battlefield. Smoke and flickering lights danced around her rose-metal figure. "This is just getting fun."
Crew Encounter
From the shadows, a supernatural crew materialized—some ally, some curious predator.
Jhene, shadow-witch with violet chains, eyes glinting.
Yugami, half-demon brute, molten claws twitching.
Verma, cyber-marksman, eyes flickering with tech.
"Rose-Metal," Jhene called, voice sharp. "That dungeon… you cleared it solo?"
Rose-Metal tilted her head, dead eyes gleaming. "Yeah. Problem?"
Yugami growled. Chains and claws flashed. "We could use your power for Outerverse raids."
She smirked, cannon-leg flicking outward. "Or I could kill you all and take it myself."
[Kill Registered. Level +10]
Level 297.
She licked blood off her knuckles. Amber eyes glinting. "Respect me, survive. Don't? Die. Simple rules."
Dungeon Exit
Portals hummed with energy. Entire dimensions rippled at her presence. The dungeon was hers now. She stepped out into the fractured plaza, standing over smoke and shadows.

[Next Dungeon Available: Outerverse Collapse — Level 300+]
Rose-Metal flicked blood from her lip. "Next galaxy. Next dimension. Bring it. I'll kill everything."
The Outerverse—and every multiverse beyond—was hers to conquer. And she wasn't even breaking a sweat.
