WHOOOOMMM
WHOOOOIIINNNNNGGGHHH
An invisible ripple shot out from the centre of the world; the entire world trembled violently for a brief moment; it trembled so strongly that it appeared the world would fall out of orbit, but the magical circles surrounding the Earth began to act and re-adjusted the world back to its orbit and held in all the new and abrupt mana explosions; the Earth core's mana received a huge boost, and the density of the Earth's mana increased.
By the time everything settled down, an hour had already passed. An hour was given by the system as a grace period for humans to prepare for the upcoming 'Wave,' but due to the violent tremor that cruised through the entire world, people were forced to stay still on the ground while minor levels of destruction occurred.
Skyscrapers 'broke' in half and fell to the ground, killing all the humans in them and the humans below them. Many cracks appeared in the ground, through which people fell and never climbed back up. It seemed like the end of the world; maybe it would have been much better than the way it is now.
Heroes, no, the players had moved fast and had rescued as many people as they could in the short amount of time, and they employed mana to levitate the falling skyscrapers. Of course, a very large number of players and a large quantity of mana was required, so they couldn't levitate all of them, and since not everybody had become a 'player,' those who could only use mana bullets and mana shields could still only use those, but they were slightly stronger than they were previously.

Sector Seven.
At the borders of sector seven, a small force containing at least 10 players had gathered; all the minor guilds located in sector seven sent their force, since this was the best time to rake achievements and have their guild graded up. Of course, there were a ton of players who were forcibly deployed; they deserted their positions and rushed towards their families. f𝚛e𝚎𝘄𝒆𝚋𝚗𝚘ѵ𝑒𝚕.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Association, government and guilds, this was first time that all the powerhouses of the world had worked together, even though their greed was involved, they still protected humans, and exactly when the notification in front of them and the huge system notification in the sky which was visible to everybody from everywhere, hit [00D: 00H: 00M: 00S]
KIIIIIIIIIIIIKKKK
A loud, ear-deafening sound resounded throughout the world. People knelt on the ground, covering their ears, which they released after a while, though their ears were still ringing.
['Wave' (level 1) commencing.]

All the players positioned at the borders flinched when they saw a ton of pixels materialize in front of them, where a group of ten had gathered, 100 lowest ranked demons 'spawned' in front of them, the demons had dark skin, razor sharp teeth, lipless mouth which could lowered to 75 degrees or more, some had a single eye in the middle of their face and two horns while some had two eyes and two horns, some had a pair of eyes and horns, while the rest had a eye and a horn, the colour of their irises varied from hazel and crimson red, with vertical black slits as pupils.
The demons too seemed confused as to what they were doing there, but only for a moment before their gazes fell on the humans in front of them and their instincts to 'kill and destroy' took over as they lunged forward towards the humans, who were mercilessly slaughtered while in panic.
*
The association, the government, and the guilds, which were proud of their decision about sending players to the sector borders, soon regretted their decision when they saw the lowest-ranked demons spawn in front of them in much greater numbers and slaughtered them. While some had lost their reason in panic, veteran heroes or players who had a ton of experience in the face of death started to take control of the situation pretty quickly and fought back. 'Normal' humans who saw that and regained courage too started to fight back, those who killed more than 10 demons, individually or with their teams, started to awaken as players; though their powers remained the same, they gained hope that they too would be able to get stronger from now on.
As the word spread, humans started to fight back and lost lives since not everybody was lucky enough to kill 10 demons while a hundred surrounded them and slowly ate them away.

Sector Six.
Guild buildings were broken down here too. Humans were continuing to kill the demons that indiscriminately spawned, but since the force of players was a bit more in sector six than in sector seven, they were doing much better than them, but they too didn't have it easy as the surviving demons had passed through the gates linking all the other sectors and continued to destroy things in their paths.
What the humans noticed while 'hunting' demons was that they were turning into pixels soon after they were killed, and though not by much, the awakened humans saw their level's exp go up by one every time they killed a demon, which meant that every single demon in front of them was 1 exp point, which also meant that they were in front of a pool of exp points that would help them get stronger and faster.
This craze soon spread wide when they realised that fact. They rushed towards the hordes of demons with crazed expressions on their faces and were, of course, killed in vain.

Sector five.
Here in Sector Five, players were a bit more prepared for the wave. They armed themselves and moved under the orders of the squad captains from the association. Seo Hana was seen flying around with a beautiful pair of flaming wings on her back, while another figure flew next to her with a pair of three-meter-wide, ominously burning wings on his back, which left behind a trail of thick black smoke as he flew around next to Seo Hana.
The man next to Seo Hana would 'burn' everything in 'their' way, while Seo Hana 'protected' the people in 'their' way. Though the people were scared of the man, they regained hope for their survival, but here in Sector Five, instead of crazed players being born, crazed believers were being born.
Though somehow Hana calmed them down, she wasn't able to get them to be on guard against the demons since they had to protect not only them but others too, and when they didn't listen to her and started to get on their nerves, the man forcefully made them be on guard, of course by beating up one of them, which also earned the man a slogan as a 'demon more demonic than the demons themselves.'
The same slogan appeared in the minds of everybody who saw him, and since they were all panicking and couldn't quite think about the prophecy given to them by the goddess, they simply ignored that thought and continued on. If they had made up a connection between them, maybe they would have thought something else and been fearful of that man, but now, after he forcibly made them be on guard and they fought against the surviving demons, they were thankful for him and soon changed his slogan to that of a 'gentle demon' and 'brutish angel.'
After both Hana and the man went ahead to rescue other people, the people who were already rescued began to spread around the man's new slogan as they made fun of the people who were beaten up by the man, while fighting against the spawned demons.
