Honkai Descends

Honkai, a phenomenon, or perhaps a natural disaster.

It occurs once every few hundred years.

The manifestations of Honkai are unpredictable: war, infectious diseases, climate disasters, comet impacts...

Honkai can appear in any form in this world.

According to ancient texts, it is an unfathomable will of the gods.

In terms of outcome, it inevitably brings devastating destruction to the dominant species of the world.

The most recent large-scale Honkai event was the Black Death in the 14th century, which directly or indirectly wiped out one-third of the global population.

And this time, Honkai has descended upon this city called Changkong City.

Furthermore, the manifestation of this Honkai is different from that of the 14th century, being one of the most common forms.

If one had to give this form of Honkai a name, it could be called—Honkai Energy Infection.

Its manifestation is somewhat similar to a certain American doomsday disaster movie.

In areas where Honkai occurs, the concentration of Honkai Energy rapidly increases. People within these areas are infected by Honkai Energy, turning into Honkai infected beings resembling zombies.

Of course, if one is lucky, they might transform into a death warrior or Honkai Beast of SR rarity, or even a green... ahem, Herrscher of SSR rarity.

Although the manifestation is somewhat similar to a certain American disaster movie, its danger is far greater.

After all, the zombies in that American disaster movie require blood transmission to infect, but with Honkai, as long as you are in the affected area, you're done for with a simple "Yoo-hoo!"

So, what should one do if they encounter Honkai? The answer is naturally... there's no hope ╮(╯_╰)╭ Just wait to die!

Ahem, if you are one in a million in this world with Honkai antibodies, then congratulations, you have avoided the fate of becoming a Honkai infected being.

Then, you will have to face the city filled with zombie-like Honkai infected beings, and a few death warriors, Honkai Beasts, and even Herrschers.

So, what should be done when facing these existences? The answer is still... there's no hope ╮(╯_╰)╭ Just wait to die!

Clearly, for ordinary people, facing Honkai leaves them with almost no ability to resist other than waiting for death.

However, a young man named Dong Moxuan is not among them.

After all, as a death warrior, how could he feel uncomfortable from Honkai?

"It's finally starting?"

Standing on the streets of Changkong City, Dong Moxuan spread his arms, his expression resembling that of someone on drugs.

More than half a month had passed since their last date.

During this time, there were no noteworthy events.

As time went by, on a certain morning after that month, Honkai arrived right on schedule.

"This feeling... this Honkai in Changkong City is really something!"

He murmured softly, his expression gradually returning to normal.

"Ahem, getting too worked up isn't good, need to calm down."

"Alright, Honkai has arrived as promised, so the plan can begin."

"Mei..."

Turning his gaze towards Senba Academy, the emotions in Dong Moxuan's deep blue eyes were slightly complex.

"Although I want to say goodbye here, you did take care of me for a month..."

"Forget it..."

After thinking for a while, Dong Moxuan sighed softly.

"It would be too much to leave at a time like this, at least..."

Tucking the pale purple gem he was fiddling with into his pocket, Dong Moxuan thought for a moment before heading in the direction of Senba Academy.

"It's still early anyway, no rush..."

In a classroom at Senba Academy.

"Bang!"

With a gunshot, a Honkai infected being fell to the ground.

A girl with shiny silver braided hair was dancing in the classroom, dual-wielding pistols.

Her marksmanship was incredibly sharp, her combat skills flawless, and her eyes unwavering.

In just a few dozen seconds, the zombie-like Honkai infected beings in the classroom were all cleared out.

"Hoo~ Honkai again..."

After easily clearing the classroom, the silver-haired girl showed no joy in her eyes.

Her brow furrowed, her gaze held a mixture of melancholy and sadness.

"It's really persistent. I wanted to stay here a little longer..."

She holstered her twin guns at her waist and sat down in her seat.

"I mean..."

Looking at the tragic state of the classroom, the girl's eyes dimmed slightly.

This was why, after transferring schools, she had been so out of place, so...

She didn't want any interaction with these classmates.

"Although I don't know you guys..."

Even though Kiana didn't know these classmates and had even suffered subtle cold-shouldered treatment from them, still...

"This is absolutely not what I intended..."

Kiana couldn't take the lives of these people with a clear conscience.

Even though she knew that the moment the Honkai descended, these people were already dead.

"If you're going to blame anyone, blame this damned world..."

After resting for a while, the silver-haired girl, Kiana, stood up from her chair.

"More trouble has found me. Time to get to work..."

In Kiana's sixteen years of life, she had already witnessed too many tragedies caused by the Honkai.

This level alone, while not entirely without impact, was definitely not enough to plunge her into despair.

At most... she would sigh.

"Porn Xuan..."

As Kiana drew her twin guns, preparing to clear out the infected in the hallway, the image of the boy who evoked such complex emotions within her flashed through her mind.

"You absolutely must not be in danger..."

"I... still have so many questions for you..."

Since that elder left, this was the first time Kiana had felt worry for someone.

Then, she saw a somewhat familiar back in the hallway.

"It's already gotten this bad?"

Dong Moxuan turned his head to look out the window, marveling at the state of Senba Academy.

While he hadn't seen anything like it before, he was still awestruck by the destruction caused by the Honkai.

However, he knew that as a death warrior, he had no standing or right to pity humans.

Moreover, he hadn't forgotten his purpose for coming to Senba Academy...

"Mei's current location is... the rooftop?"

His sapphire blue eyes had, at some point, been replaced by a cold, scarlet hue. Dong Moxuan gazed in the direction of the rooftop, an ominous aura of Honkai Energy swirling around him.

Using his special abilities, Dong Moxuan easily located Mei's position.

"I hope Mei hasn't..."

BANG!!!

Before Dong Moxuan could finish speaking, a deafening gunshot rang out from behind him.

He instinctively flinched, dodging the attack.

Who the hell is ambushing me?

Dong Moxuan turned around, trying to get a clear look at his attacker, and then...

"Ki- Kiana?!"

Seeing the silver-haired girl behind him with a surprised expression, Dong Moxuan's pupils constricted sharply.
