The Maze in the Sun Step Mountain Range, with the Resurrection Square where sunlight couldn't reach, a few players were sitting cross-legged at the center of the square under the Demon King Statue, setting up stalls and shouting, while players taking up tasks came and went nearby.

Just then, a steady and dignified voice suddenly emerged from the top of the statue, echoing across the entire square.

At the same time, a pop-up appeared before all the players active in the area —

[Announcement: All Demon King's Servants below LV10 can head to the Resurrection Square to receive a brand new special task!]

"Holy crap? A hidden task?!"

"What's going on?!"

Upon receiving the message, players all stopped in their tracks, or stood up from their stalls, looking up curiously towards the direction of the Demon King Statue.

And at the same time, a shade of Netherworld-colored light fell in front of the statue, materializing into a tall figure.

That cold yet handsome face was filled with authority, while pixel-like light particles drifted out from beneath his pitch-black cloak.

The players instantly recognized him as their most revered Demon King, lord of the Great Graveyard — His Highness Luo Yan!

Luo Yan glanced across the players in the square and slowly spoke, his calm voice carrying an irrefutable sense of pressure.

"Citizens of the Great Graveyard, the new Demon King 'Egger' from the Demon City will open a new Demon King Territory on the Gana Continent on behalf of the Demon God. As his predecessor, I need some brave warriors to assist him in a raid mission against Withered Wood Port."

"The task has a level upper limit of LV10, no lower limit, and those interested can register immediately and proceed to the flag mark at the maze entrance to assemble."

"The operation will start in half an hour, with rich rewards to be earned, slots are limited, first come, first served."

After saying this, Luo Yan's figure gradually faded, disappearing before the Demon King Statue as if he had never appeared at all.

After a brief silence, players' voices suddenly burst open, exchanging surprised glances with one another.

"Damn! The Demon King is back from Kao Planet?! My big brother who was power-leveling me just went there!"

"I just checked on the official site, and they said 'due to the influence of a Subspace storm,' the teleportation tickets back from Kao Planet have increased by 1000%, return to normal time is undetermined."

"Crap! It's a rip-off! Totally a rip-off!"

"Wait, Withered Wood Port?! Isn't that our own turf? I remember our Lizardman technician was still there repairing ships!"

"Is this the start of a faction war?! Exciting!"

"Speaking of which, what's with the weird level restriction on this task? Aren't tasks usually limited by the minimum level, why does this restrict the maximum level?"

"You don't get it, do you! This is clearly a benefit for the newbie village!"

A player who just reached LV11 and could no longer take on the task was pounding his chest and lamenting to the sky.

"MMP! Damn developers! Why send it now that I'm at level 11?!"

A player who happened to be at level 9 smugly patted him on the shoulder.

"Be grateful, brother, you're already level 11, time for you to move bricks elsewhere, let us newbies have the hidden task! Not boasting or anything, but I'm gonna savor this chance first."

LV11 Player: "%￥#@!"

While players were chatting away in a cacophony, a Little Demon player with the nickname [Doesn't Eat Kids] suddenly screamed, his eyes shining as he looked towards a corner of the square.

"Whoa, guys..."

"This new Demon King is so 'charming'!"

That duck-like voice instantly attracted the attention of countless players, and countless eyes followed his gaze, locking onto "Egger" in the square's corner.

It was a youth with delicate features, silver short hair brushing past the earlobes, eyes slightly slanted downwards, with eyes like an innocent little deer.

Although his ID above his head did not indicate his race, the aura he unconsciously emitted and the upturned heart-shaped tail all indicated his identity —

This guy was the Enchanting Demon that the livestock on the "Catastrophe OL" official website had been yearning for!

Only a shame he was male.

"Where? Let me see, let me see!?"

"Wow, the developers nailed it!"

"Hehehe, the officials surely understand our players' preferences!"

"Get lost! Don't use the plural 'we,' don't speak for me! I only accept female Enchanting Demons!!! I want to kill him, arghhh!"

"Hiss... hehehe…"

"Isn't this supposed to be a proper game? You're all kinda scaring me..."

Although plenty complained about not seeing the big reveal, the majority of players still acted honestly.

Some players who had registered even went straight to the maze entrance to queue, afraid of missing the task departure time.

Suddenly, the previously quiet Resurrection Square was packed with eager, registering players, calling for friends all around, creating quite a lively scene.

Seeing the eager "Demon King's Servants," Egger felt a wave of emotion, gripping the sword at his waist tightly and proclaimed with fervor.

"Ladies and gentlemen! I... I definitely won't let you down!"

Unfortunately, he was really not good at making pre-battle speeches, and after pondering for a long time, he only managed to muster up such a sentence.

However, the players obviously didn't care —

They just wanted to skip to the most exciting part.

"Woohoo!!"

"Charge for Withered Wood Port!"

The cheers echoed throughout the square, while some strange comments were automatically skipped by the Translation Crystal and didn't reach Egger's ears.

Egger looked gratefully at Luo Yan and earnestly said.

"Senior! I'm off then!"

Luo Yan nodded approvingly.

"Yes, hurry on then."

...

In the sunny Withered Wood Port, it was peaceful and serene at that moment.
