"My... My lord! The gateway has been opened prematurely!" the one-horned demons steward rushed into the dark, cold palace sweating heavily, he knelt before the throne and reported "The energy gathered around the gate is not enough to transport the army and you, my lord.""Why did death servant open the gate prematurely?" a loud baritone voice asked from up the throne, his brows furrowed "Was there an order to open the gate?" a two-horned giant demon dressed in heavy armour, he is the demon army general Beelzebub, he knelt on one leg to salute the king "The location where the gate was placed on earth was suddenly attacked, the death servant thought there would be enough casualty to fill up the energy so we didn't interfere but only two people died and the others were just injured..." the one-horned demon explained regretfully "How incompetent!" the general declared "How can you assume in such a situation! Even when you are sure there will be a casualty to avoid stories that touch th
"Bro, wait up!" A silver-haired teenager ran out of the school building alongside other students who had just finished their exams. " Dude, can't you wait for me!" " Run faster," His friend Eagan said without slowing down; he licked the lollipop he was holding and even increased his pace. " Dammit, how are you, my best friend, you meanie!" " You should have exercised more " Silver is the nickname given to the silver-haired teenager Eagan's best friend and only friend. "Why would I need to? I've got killer looks." Silver pointed to himself to show his "killer looks." Truthfully, he is good-looking; he and Eagan have always been on the list of the most handsome "princes" in their school. Eagan is seventeen years old and is five feet and eight inches tall. He lives with his grandmother after the death of his parents; he has green eyes like a field of grass and black curly hair. Eagan and Silver have been best friends since their diaper day and are practically inseparable. Fina
That night when Eagan got home, his grandmother was waiting for him and his nanny Nina. The grandmother, worried about her grandchild working even though he had everything, awaited him to return home with his dinner readily prepared. "Glam, I'm home," Eagan called out as he entered the house "How was your day? Was working stressful? Can you do it? I told you I'd add to your allowance if it weren't enough! Why did you insist on working? You look so tired," His grandmother complained as she looked at him. He kissed her on her forehead and answered her questions. " My day was fine; work wasn't stressful, it was fun, and I can do it; you don't need to add to my allowance. I gave more than enough already. I'm just working on getting more experience." " Still..." Eagan cut her off " I promise I'm ok, and I'll quit when it starts affecting me... I'm hungry. You won't starve your grandson, will you?" His grandmother giggled and led him to the dining room to eat his meal. She watched hi
" Oh, by the way, System, how many people can see this thing floating in front of me?" 'ONLY YOU CAN SEE AND HEAR ME " Good, it will be awkward explaining things to people." Eagan stood there thinking. ' I have a couple of hours before resuming work. I can plan and then get some things before going to work.' "System, you said I can exchange points for food and necessities. Why do I have to repurchase them?" "Would you rather use points for food or weapons to defend yourself against monsters?" " You got me there. I can use my college savings to buy these things. I wouldn't want to frighten my sickly grandmother unnecessarily. There probably won't be anything called the school in the apocalypse, so there won't be a need to save money, right?" After Eagan overcame his initial shock of having a system pop out from nowhere, he got enough information. What to do? He got dressed, had breakfast, and set out to complete his mission. "First Mission Prepare for the Apocalypse " ### " W
Beep! Beep! EMERGENCY ALERT A NEW TYPE OF VIRUS IS SPREADING FAST AROUND THE HOST. IT IS ADVISED THAT THE HOST VACATE EVERY PUBLIC AREA AS SOON AS POSSIBLE; CONTINUOUS STAYING IN PUBLIC AREAS MAY CAUSE THE HOST TO BE INFECTED. He got a red notification from the system, which is a severe warning. He'd usually get a blue or purple alert, not red. The sudden information about the virus spreading around him changed his mood, which was noticeable to his co-workers. "Are you okay? is everything fine at home?" Dave asked He contemplated whether to tell him the reason behind his mood change or look for another reason 'Should I wait for the government to announce or tell them?' "THE SYSTEM HAS NOTICED THE HOST IS IN A STATE OF INNER TURMOIL AND ADVISES THE HOST TO TELL HIS CO-WORKERS ABOUT THE VIRUS AND WHETHER IT IS UP TO THEM TO BELIEVE OR NOT "Thank you " The preparation for dinner was going on, so the restaurant hadn't opened to customers yet. " Hmm... I need to tell you all somet
For the nth time since he got the system, he went shopping for food with his best friend in preparation for the doomsday that was already knocking at their door. He advised his best friend to stay in the door and told him that if there was any trouble, they could stay with them; the two friends separated and promised to keep in touch as long as the internet was up. "THERE'S A PROBABILITY THAT YOU'D NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN," the system said once they parted, and Eagan felt pained. "I know, but I can't protect everyone. At least, that's what I have been telling myself since I knew the world would face a disaster. I'll do everything I can to protect the people I love." Hearing that the system kept quiet When he got home, he met his grandmother in their living room with her doctor beside her. His grandmother's mother looks ghostly pale compared to how she was in the morning went he left home. " Hello, Dr. Becca," he greeted the doctor and sat across them "Hello, Eagan; how have you bee
"Your parents would have been proud of you If they were here" She held his hand tightly, her face and voice full of sad emotions, he swallowed the tears building up in his throat and replied "You always told me they're watching over me." "Of course, they are... I converted all the assets belonging to myself and your parents to money, you'll probably not need them during this time, but you'll need them once all this is over. The base can house ten thousand people at most, it has farmland for raw food and life stocks, and there are people there who have been taking care of everything; leave Nina to supervise them once you move in. I talked to Becca; she'll move into the base as a doctor, and one last thing. Nina isn't human; she's an AI." Eagan looked surprised; the lady he had lived with all these years wasn't human. Is this a joke, or was he just not attentive enough to notice? " Are you being serious? You told me she was an orphan you picked up!" The grandmother sighed and shook
Several lives would be saved thanks to his parents thinking all this through. Eagan picked up the box his parents left for him and tried to open it, but it didn't budge; suddenly, a needle came out of the keyhole and pricked his fingertip, drawing out don't blood. SCANNING BLOOD SAMPLE A mechanical voice came out of the box, startled Eagan, and he almost dropped it. SCAN COMPLETED DNA MATCHED... SELF-DESTRUCT MODE DISENGAGED. The setup amazed Eagan, and he thought, "what a brilliant invention; I mean, it was going to self-destruct if it was someone else who got it; how amazing." With all this, he was happy he wasn't sharing a room with anyone, as Nina and silver had separate rooms. The first thing he noticed as he opened the box was a written letter addressed to him. HEY THERE KIDDO, Happy eighteenth birthday from your handsome dad and beautiful mum. We hope you've been well and haven't been giving your grandmother a hard time. I'm sure you've grown up to be a fine young man l
