Attack of the Black Rats

Golden Finger: Meaning Unknown (Unable to Parse)

"Ah, this... should I say it's worthy of being a Golden Finger?"

Moss looked at the specific description on the panel, feeling a bit distressed.

Meaning unknown! Unable to parse!

Even the Law of Survival Games didn't know what effect her Innate Talent had!

If Moss hadn't truly felt that power within her body, she would have feared this talent was just for show.

But now, knowing nothing, how was she supposed to choose a class?

"This is really troubling. What class should I pick?"

Moss clicked on the class column, looking at the eight options laid out.

"Whoa!"

Moss suddenly let out a strange cry, because whenever she focused her gaze on a certain class, relevant memories would emerge in her mind.

A Warrior held a greatsword, charging into the fray against dozens of monsters without a hint of fear!

A Shield Guard held a shield in one hand and a one-handed sword in the other, able to stand firm even against the charge of a monster horde!

An Archer stood atop a cliff, eyes like a hawk, knocking down three monsters in the blink of an eye with a single arrow!

Priest, Paladin, Alchemist, Blacksmith... various scenes flashed through Moss's mind!

Finally, Moss's gaze locked onto the conspicuous Mage.

A Mage in robes stood quietly behind the team, raising a staff as several flames instantly descended upon the incoming monsters!

"Oh, oh, oh!"

Moss let out another strange cry, her eyes shining like stars!

Wielding lightning! Commanding fire! Turning water into ice! Shaking the earth!

Thinking of the power of various magics, Moss's eyes turned red with excitement!

"As expected, only a Mage is cool enough. I choose Mage!"

Moss reached out and decisively tapped on the word Mage!

Screech—!!!

But a sharp, miserable scream suddenly came just as Moss was about to press, interrupting her action!

Moss flinched, her finger accidentally tapping the Warrior class to the side!

"Ahhhhhhh—!!!"

Seeing the class confirmation appear and realizing her class had become a Warrior, Moss clutched her head and wailed.

"Who is it! Which bastard dares to..."

She looked up and shouted, her face twisted as she tried to find the rat that had ruined her choice.

Squeak, squeak, squeak—!!!

The sharp rat squeaks were automatically translated in Moss's ears, and the meaning instantly suppressed the words she was about to shout.

"There's an enemy—!!!"

A rat ran back from outside the tunnel, squeaking anxiously, its voice extremely sharp.

The sight of it covered in blood was terrifying, instantly stunning the rats in the tunnel.

Before the rats in the tunnel could react, several more rats ran in from the entrance.

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak—

The newcomers were not rats from this colony; they began biting the rats in the tunnel the moment they entered.

These few rats were very sturdy, far beyond what the small rats in the tunnel could compare to.

The invading rats were extremely vicious, killing several young rats in the blink of an eye.

Those rats were pitch black, and their pair of incisors looked extremely sharp.

Their dark, pitch-black eyes seemed to glow, looking quite eerie.

The appearance of the Black Rats was clearly different from the colony Moss belonged to; their fur stood on end as if it had exploded, and one look told her there was trouble.

Squeak—!!!

Those Black Rats stepped on the blood-soaked corpses of the young rats and let out sharp hisses at the group of young ones!

The entire tunnel fell into chaos, and the rats inside began to flee!

"Wh-what's going on?!"

Seeing that things had suddenly taken a turn for the worse, Moss hurriedly hid in a pile of cloth to the side, watching the scene in shock.

The fleeing rats kept crowding toward the entrance, trying to run out of the tunnel.

But those few Black Rats were blocking the entrance, continuously attacking the young rats!

Moss looked at those rats wreaking havoc at the entrance and felt no desire to fight at all.

She had no abilities right now; she was definitely no match for these rats.

"I have to escape!"

Watching these rats bite the young ones to death one by one, Moss knew she couldn't stay here anymore!

If this continued, she might be discovered and attacked by these Black Rats as well.

She glanced at the Black Rats a few times and blended into the fleeing young rats, running toward another tunnel exit.

The cloth pile wasn't far from this exit, and Moss managed to run out of the tunnel smoothly.

But Moss wasn't happy at all after running out, because things were even worse outside!

Countless swarms of rats covered the entire sewer, their pitch-black eyes shining with eerie light in the darkness!

"What the—!"

Moss and the other young rats slammed on the brakes, standing frozen in place, staring blankly at their surroundings.

The elder rats who had gone out to forage were locked in a struggle with the invading swarm of Black Rats.

The chaotic squeaking broke the peaceful life of the sewer!

The elder rats were fighting hard against the invaders, but there were too many Black Rats, and the situation was dire.

And the young rats rushing out from the tunnel naturally became targets for the other Black Rats!

Dozens of Black Rats leaped into the air, lunging straight at the young rats!

"Whoa! Dodge!"

Moss yelled, rolling to the side and dodging a Black Rat that had lunged at her!

She compared her size to this Black Rat; it was a full half-size larger than her!

This gap in strength, like that between an adult and a child, made Moss unable to muster any desire to fight.

"Running away is the best policy! Escape!"

Moss decisively chose to flee, diving back into the tunnel!

Compared to trying to break out from the surrounded area outside, the intricate tunnels were the only possible path for escape.

Before leaving, Moss glanced to the side; the young rats that had run out were also locked in a struggle with the Black Rats.

With just one look, she passed a death sentence on her own colony in her heart.

"Brothers and sisters, see you later, take care!"

Moss dove into the tunnel she had come from at high speed, preparing to run away through another exit!

The moment she entered the tunnel, a bloody scene came into her view.

Those few Black Rats were lying on a pile of young rat corpses, tearing them apart and feasting greedily.

The smell of blood mixed with the stench of rot hit Moss's nose!

Combined with this scene of cannibalism, it caused a strong sense of discomfort in Moss's instincts!

"Ugh..."

Moss, who hadn't vomited before, now felt a powerful force rising from within.

Fortunately, Moss hadn't eaten anything today, so she couldn't vomit anything but dry heaves.

But this sound attracted the attention of the Black Rats feasting on their own kind!

Several pairs of glowing eyes turned in unison, staring fixedly at Moss!

"Uh, I'm just passing through, I won't disturb you guys anymore..."

Moss gave the Black Rats an awkward smile and, taking advantage of their momentary distraction, slipped away!

"Goodbye!"

The Black Rats were stunned for a moment, blankly watching Moss run into the depths of the tunnel, only reacting a few seconds later!

Squeak, squeak, squeak, squeak—

Several Black Rats erupted instantly, chasing in the direction Moss had fled!
