The Shelter Game: Me, Starting with a Tenfold Drop Rate

In the office of the president of Ocean Group, Vicky gazed out of the window, sighing heavily as she took in the scenery.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Vicky turned around anxiously and said, "Is that you, Benjamin? Come in quickly!"

The door swung open forcefully, and Benjamin walked in, beads of sweat glistening on his forehead.

"President, are you alright? I've eliminated all the Night Blades members around the headquarters. They can no longer pose any threat to the group," Benjamin said, his words punctuated by heavy breaths.

It was clear that Benjamin had exerted himself to reach Vicky's office as quickly as possible, leaving him nearly out of breath.

"I'm perfectly fine. I'm not worried about the safety of the Ocean Group headquarters right now. My main concern is Irving's safety. I have a feeling that the Night Blades won't just attack us in the real world. They must also be taking action within the shelter game! I just tried to contact Irving, but I wasn't able to reach him.

I suspect this is because the Night Blades have already launched an assault on his shelter. My shelter is attached to Irving's, so if you want to protect me, you need to hurry and assist Irving."

As the president of Ocean Group, Vicky had the authority to directly command Benjamin to help Irving. However, Vicky was a person of great sensitivity. She felt that she shouldn't issue orders to Benjamin too bluntly. After all, Benjamin had saved her life twice when she was in danger. Although Benjamin was her subordinate, Vicky also regarded him as a friend.

When dealing with friends, one shouldn't speak too harshly.

Benjamin quickly nodded.

"I understand! I'll get into the shelter game as soon as possible! But before I leave, I need to adjust the security plan from the security department."

Vicky felt a bit puzzled by what Benjamin said.

"Why do you need to do that? The security plan you left behind is already sufficient. Although the Night Blades attacked the headquarters of Ocean Group, they ultimately didn't succeed."

"The security plan I left is indeed sufficient, but I believe the Night Blades' attacks have only just begun. We need to be more prepared."

Since Benjamin had said that, Vicky decided not to press the issue further.

"Alright, then! Please finalize the new security plan as soon as possible!"

After receiving Vicky's directive, Benjamin quickly left her office.

Once again, Vicky found herself alone in the office. She picked up the communicator on her desk in an attempt to contact Irving again. However, the result was the same as before; she still couldn't reach him.

Holding the communicator tightly in her hand, Vicky bowed her head and prayed, "Irving, please don't get into danger! If you encounter any trouble, I really won't be able to manage on my own. Without your support, I wouldn't have the courage to face all these challenges."

Vicky indeed relied heavily on Irving. This dependency was not just on a physical level but also on an emotional one. Despite being the granddaughter of the former chairman of Ocean Group and the daughter of the Smith family, she had lost most of her power to her uncle.

Without Irving's help, Vicky not only wouldn't have been able to serve as the president of Ocean Group, but she might have even been killed by her uncle through some means.

While Vicky was praying, Benjamin had already arrived at the third underground level of the Ocean Group headquarters, where the security department manager's office was located.

He quickly pulled out the prepared security plan, made some quick adjustments, and sent it out.

"Everyone must make immediate adjustments upon receiving the security plan! I cannot supervise you anymore; I hope you can manage it on your own!"

After issuing the directive, Benjamin immediately entered the shelter game.

As soon as he stepped into the shelter game, Benjamin was transported to the castle through a portal. Before he could fully understand what was happening, he sensed an unusually powerful dark force surrounding him.

"Have the Night Blades members breached the outer defenses of the castle?! I need to figure out the situation as quickly as possible!"

Realizing how critical the situation was, Benjamin immediately began to gather information.

He soon encountered a member of the Angel Guild, who looked extremely panicked. The weapon in their hands was nearly destroyed.

"What on earth happened? Where are the others?"

In response to Benjamin's inquiry, the Angel Guild member could only stare at him with a look of sheer terror.

"I am Benjamin, the manager of the security department at Ocean Group! You must have heard of me. With me here, you will definitely not face any major danger! All you need to do now is answer my questions!"

Benjamin's words successfully calmed the Angel Guild member in front of him a bit.

"The Night Blades have attacked the castle! The outermost two defense lines have been breached. Lord Aron and Lady Anna are currently fighting the Night Blades inside the castle! The others have scattered and fled because they simply don't have the strength to withstand the Night Blades' assault.

Lord Aron has also given the order that ordinary Angel Guild members can return to the real world if they find an opportunity."

After receiving this information, Benjamin had a clearer understanding of the overall situation.

"What about Irving? What about James? Aren't they both very powerful? Are they not here?"

"Lord Irving has gone to his own shelter because I heard that his shelter is also under attack! President James has returned to the real world because the Green Ivy Company headquarters is being attacked there."

The Angel Guild member did their best to answer each of Benjamin's questions.

Once Benjamin had gathered enough information, he led the Angel Guild member into the castle.

Benjamin easily eliminated two Night Blades members who were blocking his path.

Soon, he encountered Anna on the third floor of the castle.

Upon seeing Anna, Benjamin hurriedly asked, "What's the overall situation? Can we continue to hold the defense?"

Anna, with three wounds on her face, responded to Benjamin's question in a slightly tense tone. "The overall situation is very grim. The outer defenses were quickly overwhelmed by the Night Blades members. We can only continue to defend within the castle. However, I believe we can hold out for a while. As long as Irving can defeat the Night Blades' elder, we can turn the tide."

Anna's response made Benjamin aware of Irving's overall plan. He immediately said, "In that case, I'll head over to the shelter to assist Irving! After all, President Vicky's shelter is right next to Irving's. I must ensure the safety of President Vicky's shelter first!"

Before leaving, Benjamin made sure to clarify. He didn't want Anna to misunderstand him. He didn't want her to think that he was someone unwilling to offer her help.

Anna nodded. "You should hurry over! I think the situation over there with Irving is even worse!"

Prompted by Anna, Benjamin quickly used his teleportation skill to head to Irving's shelter.

As soon as he arrived at Irving's shelter, he realized that the situation Irving was facing was indeed dire. A massive Dark Monster was stretching its tentacles, continuously attacking the personnel and facilities within the shelter.

Despite the defenders at the shelter giving their all, the colossal Dark Monster was still proving difficult to eliminate.

Benjamin scanned the surroundings but saw no sign of Irving. This meant that the huge Dark Monster he was facing was not the main force attacking Irving's shelter.

Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Benjamin immediately launched an attack on the massive Dark Monster. With Benjamin's assistance, the defenders at Irving's shelter quickly managed to destroy the towering creature.

"Where is Irving now? Is there any other force from the Night Blades attacking the shelter?" Benjamin asked the surrounding personnel after achieving a temporary victory.

"Mr. Irving is on the other side of the shelter. You just need to cross this hill to reach him! But I wouldn't recommend going over there because he's in a decisive battle with the elder of the Night Blades!" replied a member of the Green Ivy Group.

Benjamin nodded and then quickly ran toward the hill.

A few minutes later, Benjamin climbed over the not-so-tall hill and was met with a scene that shocked him to the core.

The immense dark power had transformed the entire battle area into something akin to a lake; any movement within the area would inadvertently absorb the dark energy into one's body. The dark energy possessed a very strong corroding ability.

If someone absorbed too much dark energy, they would inevitably be twisted into a monster. Only members of the Night Blades knew how to avoid the corruption of dark energy.

However, to Benjamin, it appeared that the Night Blades members were not avoiding the dark energy's corruption; rather, they were actively embracing it. Each powerful member of the Night Blades seemed to have a distorted state of mind.

In the shadow of the overwhelming dark power, Benjamin could not quickly locate Irving's position. But he didn't have to wait long.

A searing flame erupted from the area where the dark energy was densest. This intense flame was a skill used by Irving. With the eruption of the blazing fire, Benjamin finally caught sight of Irving and Elder Kent.

At that moment, Elder Kent was wielding a giant sword, relentlessly attacking Irving, who was primarily dodging Kent's blows. In the brief moments between dodges, Irving would occasionally counterattack.
