The Outerverse whispered her name like a curse. Every bounty hunter, mercenary crew, and rogue warlock across galaxies knew: Rose-Metal was untouchable.
She didn't care.
Portals tore open around her as she stepped into the next dungeon—a city suspended in void, streets floating over bottomless nothing, shattered glass reflecting starlight from dying suns. Creatures from every corner of the multiverse stirred, sensing her arrival. This was not a test. This was war.
First Wave of Chaos
The first to meet her were the dimension-hounds: wolfish monsters with chrome jaws, pulsating veins, and claws that could slice steel. They lunged. She smiled.
Cannon-leg snapped. Bullets shredded them mid-air. Obsidian blade cleaved through limbs as easily as air. Her amber eyes glowed, dead and unfeeling, veins of rose-metal pulsing.

[Level Up. Reflex +3, Strength +2, Stamina +5]
She laughed, hollow, sharp, and cruel. "Pathetic little puppies."
They weren't even the main event.
Hunter Crews Arrive
Portals flickered. Nutasi and Shinzoo weren't alone this time. Reinforcements poured in—shadow witches, half-demons, cyborg assassins, elemental warlocks. Over a dozen of them. All elite. All thinking they could take her.
Rose-Metal's lips curled in a sneer. "Cute. You brought friends? How generous."
They attacked in perfect synchronization. Dark magic, flamethrower gauntlets, energy blasts. But she was everywhere at once, unlimited mobility letting her dodge, spin, and counter with uncanny speed.
Her cannon-leg fired a storm of bullets, obsidian shards slicing shadows and armor alike.
[Kill Registered. Level +10]
[Level Up. Magic Power +5, Dexterity +4]
Every kill leveled her. Every death fueled her. Every breath pulsed with limitless potential.
Dungeon Core Madness
She reached the dungeon core—black orb with screams trapped inside, pulsing faster than any heartbeat she'd known. Tentacles of energy erupted toward her, but she didn't flinch.
Rose-Metal absorbed it. Rose-metal veins expanded, plating shimmering, amber eyes glowing brighter. Energy surged through her, body screaming with power she hadn't yet tapped.
[Core Absorbed. Level +50]
[New Ability Unlocked: Multiverse Dominance — passive damage boost & reality-phase strike]
The dungeon shook violently. Portals collapsed. Creatures fell before her like toys.
Carnage Across Dimensions
She didn't stop. Not now, not ever. Crews charged, magic and tech colliding in chaos. Shadows screamed. Energy flared. And she moved through it all like a hurricane—cannon-leg firing, obsidian blade slashing, rose-metal plating deflecting every attack.
[Kill Registered. Level +15]
[Kill Registered. Level +12]
[Kill Registered. Level +10]
She licked blood from her knuckles. "Anyone else want to play? No? Thought so."
Dimensional rifts shattered. Time warped. Space bent to her will. Amber eyes glimmered. Deadless, cold, and cruel, she smiled.
Cliffhanger Ending
The last hunter standing, a cyber-warlock with plasma claws, staggered back. She blinked, smirked, and whispered:
"Level up, kill, repeat. Disrespect me, die. Multiverse? Mine. All of it."
Her laughter echoed across galaxies. Portals pulsed with warning. Crews fled. And far beyond, Outerverse watchers leaned closer. The zombie warlock queen was ascending. Nothing would survive.
