The paradise's doors were open to everyone, and anyone could enter freely.
The four burly men scanned the luxurious surroundings, their faces filled with disbelief.
"Boss, this place actually has electricity! Do you know how many crystals it would take to keep this running?"
"There's a water dispenser here too, with clean water—but I can't seem to open it!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the zombies that were chasing us turned back as soon as they got near this hotel. It's like something scared them off. My guess is that whoever owns this place must be a high-level ability user."

As the three lackeys whispered among themselves, the man they called "Boss" remained silent, his expression unreadable.
Finally, he spoke, his voice both heated and sinister, and his eyes were fiery.
"I don't care who this high-level ability user is. This place is too good to pass up. Let's take it."
"Warning: Malicious intent detected within the hotel," the system alerted me.
I had just come up from the basement when I heard the warning in my mind.
At the same time, I saw who the newcomers were.
The leader of the group, a burly man, was none other than Deman—the man who had bought me from my sister and boyfriend for three pieces of bread.
Deman was the third-in-command of New Moon Base, the largest settlement in the city. He wielded Level 8 earth abilities and Level 5 lightning abilities. I was no match for him.
At the same time, Deman saw me.
His ugly face twisted into a disgusting grin. "Mia, so you're not dead after all."
