The NPC man burst into the room shouting that monsters were coming and they needed to get up NOW, his voice cracking with panic.
A system notification appeared above his head in green text: [CAPTAIN ALDRIC - VILLAGE GUARD COMMANDER].
The team scrambled out of bed in confusion, disoriented by their surroundings. They were in a medieval village room with stone walls and wooden floor, and through the single window they could see early morning light filtering in. Outside, screaming echoed through the air along with combat sounds and something massive hitting wood repeatedly with thunderous impacts.
The System chimed in their vision.
[FLOOR 5 — SUBJUGATION MISSION]
[OBJECTIVE: ELIMINATE ALL HOSTILE ENTITIES]
[ENEMY COUNT: 500]
[PROGRESS: 0/500]
[TIME ELAPSED: 00:00]
The timer started counting up while they stared at the numbers.
