Lackey's Seducing Survival Odyssey

”See? This is why streaming outside is dangerous, guys. One second you’re vibing, next second somebody’s ready to uninstall your existence.”

Her viewers exploded with laughing reactions again.

”Look, Daddy! They’re fighting again! Please take me there this time!”

A child shouted excitedly while pointing toward a gigantic holographic display attached to the side of a towering building.

The massive 3D advertisement stretched across several floors, bright enough to reflect across nearby windows. People walking nearby instinctively slowed down for a moment as the advertisement shifted into battle footage from the tournament arena.

The child’s wide eyes reflected the enormous stadium shown above them. Tens of thousands of spectators screamed from glowing seats while energy barriers surrounded the battlefield inside the arena.

The massive gates slowly opened with mechanical force, releasing clouds of steam and digital smoke effects.

Then the monster emerged.

A creature stepped forward on four enormous limbs, its twisted face covered with rainbow crystal that pulsed with violent energy. Crooked teeth extended from its mouth while broken pieces of torn fabric still hung loosely from its chest. Its body alone looked almost the size of a transport vehicle.

”GGGRRWWWWW!!!”

The creature’s roar exploded through the hologram with surround-sound projection technology, making nearby pedestrians instinctively flinch as the sound vibrated through the street itself. Some people laughed afterward while others shook their heads in amusement at the overly realistic effects.

”MOMMY!!!”

The child instantly screamed and buried himself against his mother while covering his eyes tightly.

”Hahaha...”

His father laughed while gently rubbing the child’s head.

”You got scared from just the trailer, and you still want me to buy tickets for the real match?”

”T-That thing looked real!” the child protested nervously from behind his mother.

Both parents chuckled warmly while the giant holographic monster continued roaring across the glowing city skyline behind them.

Everything around them moved with life and excitement as people enjoyed their day without the slightest trace of worry on their faces.

Bright holograms danced across the towering buildings while music from advertisements echoed softly through the clean streets.

Couples laughed together near digital cafés, streamers continued broadcasting toward floating cameras, and glowing drones passed overhead carrying deliveries from one sector to another.

It felt as though nobody cared about anything beyond this.

As if... they knew nothing about what was happening within the other Empires.

As if... they were living inside a world created only for themselves, separated from every danger beyond their borders.

Casual pedestrians walked through illuminated pathways while businessmen wearing sleek black suits hurried past each other with holographic screens floating beside their wrists.

Stern-looking women in professional attire discussed something seriously while streams of data flickered across transparent panels before their eyes.

Children ran around laughing near public projection fountains while exhausted parents chased after them through the crowded sidewalks.

Nothing else existed there except humanity and the civilisation they had built.

Just then...

Weee~Weeee~Weee~Weee~

A sharp alarm suddenly echoed across the streets.

The lively atmosphere instantly shifted as people turned their heads toward the main road. Within seconds, rows of enormous black transport trucks appeared from the distance, their metallic bodies glowing with pulsating blue energy lines.

Unlike ordinary vehicles, the trucks possessed no visible tyres. They floated several inches above the magnetic roads while anti-gravity stabilisers beneath them emitted faint blue particles.

Before anyone could properly process what they were seeing, the convoy shot forward at terrifying speed.

Nearby vehicles reacted immediately. Autonomous cars automatically moved aside while traffic systems suspended every route around the convoy.

Floating road signs changed instantly, giving absolute priority to the black trucks.

The convoy turned sharply to the left.

Yet despite the sudden movement, the trucks remained perfectly stable, gliding through the city like black steel phantoms while blue energy flickered across their surfaces.

They passed countless skyscrapers, neon holograms, and glowing intersections within seconds.
