The two of us sat sighing, not believing how dull our current job was, unlike anything I could have imagined.
Street lights began to glow as dusk fell.
"Honestly, they didn't even provide us with a car."
"Woodrow heard Uncle Ricardo requested the association to have us patrol on foot."
"That irksome old man... my legs are numb already. Sigh..."
We maneuvered around a railway line, while Woodrow twirled a butterfly knife she had just been issued by the organiza
Have you ever wondered what the apocalypse would look like and what would follow in its aftermath?Could it be natural disasters like tidal waves, earthquakes, tsunamis?Or the invasion of pandemics, monsters, zombies as in science fiction movies?Or conflicts between nations and the outbreak of a third world war accompanied by nuclear bombs erasing civilizations?No, the apocalypse I want to show you is not just one but all of the above combined, and I'm not joking at all, your world is about to come to an end if you don't start doing something about it today.This was the strange content broadcasted by a mysterious person appearing on the TV screen while I was still having dinner with my family....Ten years ago, while having dinner with my grandparents, as usual in a family meal there would always be rice, vegetables, soup, and side dishes, not to mention a small TV, a treasure of rural families. We would sit at the table together, dine, and enjoy the news at exactly seven o'clo
In the suffocating battlefield, where an inevitable fight was bound to happen between two men. I, a prisoner carrying the burden of sin and shackles, confronted the enemy, a proud general with his famous axe in hand.We rushed towards each other, life or death, while the clacking from the keyboard and the sound of mouse clicks, along with the cursing of kids lagging at the internet cafe, continued to echo.Yes, you guessed it right, I was playing a game, and the battle mentioned was a one-on-one solo fight with the enemy across the frontline, an age-old matchup.A few minutes later, with the thick-headedness of an experienced and skillful long-time player, I... lost the match in frustration."Damn, I told you to ban Yasuo already, if he feeds seventeen kills, who can carry this?"I angrily turned to my friend sitting next to me.He sighed, took off his headphones, placed them next to the keyboard, logged out of his internet cafe member account, picked up his backpack, and patted my sh
Finally, that wonderful day arrived, oh what could be better than a Saturday after the end of the school year and a date with the crush of my dreams?I wore a simple T-shirt, long jeans, and a short-sleeved jacket. It was past nine, but Madeline hadn't arrived yet, wondering if I was being stood up?"I've only been waiting for two hours and I'm already panicking, calm down Sebastian, you're a man, a man must be patient and composed."The wait wasn't in vain, a few minutes later, Madeline quickly arrived, wearing a pretty short dress far different from the school uniform she usually wore. Truly impressive."Sorry, I missed the previous bus, so I'm a bit late, have you been waiting long?""Oh, no, I just got here myself."I lied as a courtesy, scratched my head, and then proceeded into the park with Madeline.Throughout our journey in the amusement park, Madeline did look at her phone quite a lot instead of interacting with me, the only time she looked into my eyes was when she looked i
Right, why didn't I realize it? Why would Madeline actively invite me to a photo shoot like this? I'm just a weeaboo who loves games, with nothing remarkable besides my standout achievements in natural sciences. Perhaps that's why my parents abandoned me to be cared for by my grandparents.I've lost too much blood and no longer have the strength to run. I lean against the door as Madeline's footsteps fade away, holding my wound and watching the monsters charging towards me.If only I were stronger like the Void Keepers, if only I had experienced women before dying, if only I had listened to Simon, then I wouldn't be in this mess. Seeing my current state, he would probably say..."You look terrible, Sebastian!"His voice suddenly rings out, making me think I'm hallucinating due to a rift in the Void. But no, Simon is really there, with a heavy cannon in hand.A loud sound and blinding light emanate from inside the store, Simon blows away all the monsters in front of the thermal cannon
Although I wasn't sure what he was trying to convey, I still tried to listen intently. After all, I still had much to do, so I gathered the courage to ask the mysterious man how to leave this place."Is there a way for me to leave here?""Of course!"The mysterious person pulled out a short sword with a white hilt from behind, holding it at eye level with two fingers from the other hand spread apart."Open!"Following the incantation of the mysterious man, a gate similar to the Void's spatial tear opened but it was white."Can I go home through it?""Hold on, if you go through now, you'll die instantly!"Realizing my body was still full of holes caused by the previously mutated plants, I desperately touched each wound."What should I do now? Will I be stuck here forever?""Stay calm! If you're so impulsive, I'm deeply concerned about the future of your world!"The mysterious man finished speaking and opened his palm towards me. In the endless silence of the Void, I suddenly heard the
Waiting for me was a blonde-haired woman in a white naval uniform, hands on her hips with a dignified demeanor, as the door suddenly slammed shut, leaving just the two of us, a white table, and two empty chairs inside the room."Have you arrived there?"A mesmerizing female voice came from her."There?""Hey, I'm the one asking the questions!"The blonde woman turned around, her eyes powerful like a goddess, her beautiful face with fair skin in the military uniform like a warrior angel. The seductive allure from an older woman made my youthfulness surge, similar to how I had fallen for Madeline, but this time it was even more intense.I have to get her number, I have to get her number, I have to get her number!"Don't worry, no one here can hear us talking!"The lights then dimmed and flickered with crackling sounds."Ah... yes, I've been there!"I don't know why I obediently replied like a well-trained puppy..."What did it look like?""It was quite chaotic, as if it had merged all p
[ Each level-up grants you an additional accumulated point, with each point you can add to the basic stats corresponding to a 1% effectiveness. For example, with 100 Strength, you would be twice as strong as before. ]There is also another description next to the line "Awakening".[ Upon meeting certain conditions, you can "Awaken" to unlock the limit, allowing you to add points beyond the basic threshold of 100 and unlock additional supreme skills. ]Similar to the RPG games I've played, when characters reach a development threshold, there is an event that helps them break through new strengths and develop further.[ Note: Awakening is a banned mechanism as it can cause imbalance, only the administrator (Admin) is allowed to activate it. ]At this point, there is an additional note, the dream is so detailed that I almost forget I’m dreaming.Until awakened by the ring of the bedside phone, I barely woke up from that strange dream. The weird thing here is that the dream felt so real t
Everything would have been unremarkable if I hadn't suddenly remembered my dream from last night. Strangely, what's shown on my watch's screen resembles that dream, except the dream had more details and was designed like a game.I look at the electronic screen on my watch again, slapping my cheek a few times to make sure I'm not dreaming.But there's no explanation other than a coincidental overlap or a prophetic dream, yet I still wish the interface on the watch was as user-friendly as the game in my dream.[ Do you agree to synchronize Admin data with Void Keeper data? ][ Yes ] [ No ]I fall to the ground startled as the strange notification from my dream suddenly appears before me. I thought there was a three-dimensional display here, but when I asked the staff helping me up, they said they saw no display or interface window at all.Odd, if it's a hallucination, it feels too real to be one, touching the button felt just as fictitious as in the dream. The interface window fades awa
