7 years ago, in the early morning of December 25, Likoris Inc. released its first online game "Hero Rebirth". And today, after 7 years, the game has once again become the focus of many people's attention. The peak of popularity of this game was 4 years ago, but loyal fans still play it. The game received the last large-scale update 2 years ago, but since the costs did not pay off, the company stopped investing money. Over time, the game was abandoned, but everything suddenly changed.

System alert! There are 4 hours, 18 minutes, 39 seconds... 38 seconds... 37 left before the attack of the monster army on the city of Atrak

This alert was the first of its kind. None of the players had ever seen anything like this before. Everyone decided that it was a gift attack for the birthday of the game. Few people were interested in him. However, the second warning changed everything.

System alert! At the head of the army of monsters are two bosses - a Necromancer, a monster of the 200th level, and a healing magician of the Fallen Alma, a monster of the 100th level. High-ranking monsters in the ranks of the army: The resurrected Thunder Dragon of the East, a level 110 monster; The Highest dead Knight of the Order of Tiat, a level 110 monster; The Highest dead Court Magician Hawn, a level 110 monster; The Dead Dragon Yazha, a level 100 monster;…

The players were surprised. Why has the company decided to release such an update now? However, the game developers were no less surprised. After all, no one knew where the algorithm for attacking the city came from. Attempts to fix the bug by the company's programmers were unsuccessful. At first, a month ago, a peaceful non-player character changed his purpose. Then the progress of some players turned out to be inappropriate for recovery. Now the monster army is attacking the city. What army? The monster algorithm did not include the union at all. In addition, a Necromancer cannot go beyond the throne room at all.

System alert! Attention! Monster Fallen Restoration Mage revived the black dragon Ithras. The black dragon Ithras has joined the monster army.

- Hey, I heard that the "Hero Rebirth" has received an update. I'm going to get back in the game and beat Ithras!

- What? With your level? You can't even beat Malghun without a party.

- That's right, you quit the game much earlier than me. So you don't know. After you left, I took the Top 1.

- Hey, if I come back to the game, you won't even see the top 10.

Lurg: I've never been to these places. All I saw was the throne room and the Resurrection Room. Why did I think I couldn't go beyond those places?

Alme: It's snowing… It's time to move out.

The girl shook the snowflakes off her head and threw on the hood of her robe. Lurg was looking at the beautiful city of Atrak, which would soon be destroyed by them. Why hadn't he been to this beautiful place before? That's right, because a summoner of the dead has no place among the living. He donned his usual attire and signaled to the army.

Necromancer: Let's move out!

Alme: Ithras!

The black dragon descended and after the girl sat astride it soared up.

Snowflakes fell on the stone road of the city and melted. Civilians did not understand why heroes and adventurers gathered here in such numbers. Suddenly a strong wind rose. Darkness covered the sky. A black dragon was approaching.

System alert! There are 0 hours 0 minutes 3 seconds left before the monster army attacks the city of Atrak! 2 seconds... 1 second...0.
