The thing was trying to retreat. Smooth, liquid, a predator backing into the shadows to reset the hunt.

“Not so fast!” Marcus’s voice cut through the ozone-thick air. He threw his hands out, and a shimmering, translucent wall of force materialized in the statue’s path, blocking its escape. The air crackled with the strain. “Go! Now! I can’t hold this long!”

His panic was a live wire. Today was the last day. Failure wasn’t an option; it was a death sentence with fangs.

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   64 She Did It On Purpose

    The revelation didn’t surprise me.I’d been in enough Instances to have met NPCs who were once players. The ones I’d encountered before were hollow shells, their consciousness completely erased. Or so I’d thought. My mind raced. Had they truly lost themselves? Or had I just never been able to see the ghost in the machine?And what Jenna said about ‘eating’ other players… Did that mean death here wasn’t just imprisonment, but final, conscious annihilation?Jenna’s spirit, clearer now than it had been in years, kept talking. The years of fog had left her starved for connection. “Not every player who dies gets to become part of the Instance,” she explained, her misty form shimmering. “The weak ones… their essence just dissolves. Becomes fuel for the world. Only the strong have a chance to linger.”I frowned. There was a twisted pride in her tone, as if becoming a permanent part of this hellscape was an achievement.In a way, I supposed it was. For the dead, it was the only ‘living’ left.

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   63 The Ghosts We Leave Behind

    The irony wasn’t lost on me. I’d been dumped back into the Game with a rookie account, stripped of everything. A perfect, fucked-up accident.It aligned perfectly with my original, buried goal. To burn it all down from the inside.I thought of the Vances—Caleb, Anya. My so-called family. In their cowardly betrayal, they’d accidentally done me the biggest favor of my life. A bitter laugh coiled in my throat. Once this Instance was over, I’d have to think of a suitably… expressive way to thank them.A shiver ran through Jenna’s spectral form. She hugged her arms, her translucent figure flickering. “What is it?” she asked, her voice a whisper of static. “What ‘accident’?”I shook my head, the manic glee fading into something colder. “Later.” I studied her. The friend, the teammate, now a ghost bound to this cursed rock. “It’s been almost three years,” she said, a sad smile touching her lips. “How have you been, Kiera?”How had I been? I’d lived in ignorant, gilded comfort while she’d been

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   62 The Monster Remembers

    The barrage of invisible force stutters.I don’t question the reprieve. I just move, my body screaming as I shred the remaining attacks. But my eyes are locked on the statue. Its form is… flickering. The stone face melts into Jenna’s, then back again, a grotesque slideshow of two souls warring for control.They’re so consumed by their internal struggle they don’t notice me closing the distance.“You wretched, clinging ghost!” the statue’s voice rashes, a blend of stone grinding and Jenna’s higher pitch. It claws at its own forehead. “I’ll scour you from this vessel!”A scream—pure, undiluted agony—rips through the dead air. The statue’s hand pulls back, and clenched in its stone fist is a shimmering, semi-transparent form. Jenna. Or what’s left of her.She writhes in its grip, her expression shifting violently: one second a snarl of hatred, the next a mask of profound sorrow. The statue’s grip tightens. I hear the phantom crack of bones. Her screams intensify.A cold, sick feeling coi

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   61 The Predator's Focus

    Waiter Three’s eyes, wide with a terror that hadn’t been there a second ago, were fixed on me. The fear tasted sweet. Then, a blade erupted from his chest in a spray of black ichor.Liam landed silently behind the collapsing form, wrenching his sword free. He’d finished the manager and moved like a ghost. The waiter was dead before the fear could even settle, his body dissolving into motes of corrupted data.Two waves. We’d cleared more than half the horde. The pressure on the others visibly eased. I turned, scanning the crater for the statue.It was gone.My blood went cold. Did it run? Impossible. After absorbing Jenna, it was stronger than all of us combined. It had no reason to flee.A mournful melody drifted into my ears, twisting from a dirge into something seductively beautiful. “Not again,” I muttered, my hands flying to my ears.Too late.The world shimmered. The crater, Liam, Spark, Marcus—all vanished. I stood alone in a featureless gray void. The air was still and dead.I

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   60 Burning Through the Low-Level Gear

    The black energy wasn't just in the wounds. It was moving, crawling deeper into my body like parasitic worms. A thousand biting, stinging points of pain radiated from the gashes, spreading outwards. I gritted my teeth, shoving the sensation into a mental box labeled ‘Later.’Right now, ‘Later’ had teeth and was sprinting at me.Waiter Three led the charge, his eyes gleaming with a predatory light. “You wanted to file a complaint, guest. Looks like you’ve missed your window.”I pivoted, a corrupted guest’s claw whistling past my ear. “Don’t you worry,” I shot back, voice dripping with false sweetness. “I’ll make time. I’m going to write the most scathing one-star review this hellscape has ever seen. Who’d vacation on a death-trap island with service this shitty?”He didn’t snarl this time. He just smiled, a wide, unnerving stretch of his lips. “So cruel. You’d ruin our business? A shame you’ll never leave to tell the tale. Stay. Stay and keep us company.”They echoed him, a chorus of t

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   59 Feast of Fools

    I stare at the thing that used to be Jenna.It’s her, but it’s not. It’s the same twisted, giggling horror from the jungle, only stronger. The gaping hole in her chest from the statue’s earlier attack is still there, a void in the pale flesh. The air around her hums with a sick, A-Class malevolence.I take two steps forward, closing the distance. “I thought we were friends, Jenna. You’re really going to side with the rock monster against me?”I don’t let her answer. I snap my fingers, a theatrical gesture of sudden realization. “Oh, wait. You think you can take me? Look behind you. See what I did to your master. You step up, and your ending will be a lot less poetic. Be smart. Run.”My voice is pure, dripping contempt. It’s not just for her. It’s for the whole damn Game.The effect is immediate. Jenna’s giggling stops, her face twisting into a snarl of rage. Behind her, the shattered statue shudders, its remaining stone fragments clattering like angry teeth. I’ve poked the beasts.“Kie

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   51 Punch First, Ask Questions Later

    My fist connected with a satisfying crack.Daytime Jenna was just a regular tourist NPC, harmless as a kitten. My punch, however, was not. The force of it snapped her head back, wrenching her whole body off-balance before she went sprawling into the dirt.NPC resilience was a thing. She scrambled u

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   50 No Friends Who Disturb My Sleep

    I set the group photo down as Waiter Three stepped into his room.He scanned the cluttered space, his inhuman face twisting with a disturbingly human expression of confusion. He was wondering why his door was open."I see you!"His voice, a wet rasp, cut through the thick air. A grotesque smile stre

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   49 The Photo on the Wall

    The door clicked shut behind Marcus Stone, leaving me alone with the lingering scent of blood and the mess he’d made of my hut. His parting promise of payment was a hollow echo. Right now, I needed quiet more than credits.His story about the horrors retreating into the island’s heart confirmed my s

  • My Alpha is a Lunatic   48 The Debt and the Distortion

    My fingers trace the lines of my palm in the dim light. If my theory is right—if I’m not a rookie but a memory-wiped veteran—then what the hell was my Class Ability? I’ve lost everything. The one tool every player relies on, the core of their power, is just… gone. A complete reset.I shake my head,
