Chapter 1: Prolouge

*Sigh*

I leaned against the wall then slowly slid downwards, before I knew it I was already on the floor. I glanced at the body in front of me and the growing pool of blood that surrounds it.

"What now?" I thought.

I thought this would make me feel better but his death barely helped at all. It felt a lot like loosening a knot, one that has been on my mind for a very very long time.

I got up and carefully stepped over the body as to not taint my clothes. I walked through the house, it felt strange almost nostalgic but I definitely didn't miss this place nor will I in the future. Nevertheless, it was the only place I ever knew as home.

I opened the water tap and tried to remove the crimson stains on my hands.

*Growl*

I huckled lightly, the fact that I could actually think of eating after killing someone just stands to show how less of a human I became.

I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. All I found in the fridge was spoiled milk, some bread and cheese.

How typical of him.

I made myself a cheese sandwich and started munching on it. It wasn't much but compared to what they fed me at the institute, it was absolutely divine.

I wandered through the house recalling my memories here both pleasant and terrifying, mostly terrifying though, when I heard a strange sound.

*Ding*

What the-, before I could finish my thoughts a series of blue screens appeared in front of me.

[Initialising System…]

[System Activated

All Creatures have been added to the System

System Items have been created

System Locations have been created]

That's when my shock ended. This felt oddly similar to the novels I read at the institute and if any of them held a grain of truth, then things were going to take a turn for the worst.

It seems I'll have to leave earlier than expected.

I needed to get to a safer place. I ignored the rest of the messages and hurried towards the kitchen and the messages as if understanding my intentions receded to the back of my mind.

I quickly grabbed a kitchen knife, match box, water bottles, some cheese and a bag of toast then stuffed everything in a backpack.

I adjusted the pack on my shoulder then walked around searching for anything I might need.

Am I overdoing this?

I immediately thought otherwise when I felt the earth tremble and almost fell. The vibration continued for a few minutes. I could feel the very building shake with the force. This was definitely not a normal earthquake.

I checked the messages to understand what happened.

[System monsters have been created]

[Merging the Multi-Verse…

Merge Complete]

[Language barriers have been deconstructed]

The world went quiet, too quiet actually. I couldn't hear anything, neither the sound of the nature or humans. It felt as if every living creature knew something was wrong.

*Ding*

[Welcome to the System.]

Then it all went to hell.

Chapter 2: Chapter 1

Rooooaaaaaaar!!

A load and vibrant roar echoed through the surroundings. It definitely didn't sound human. I could also hear screams coming from the streets.

I hurried to the window to see what was happening. I couldn't make out the details from the fourth floor but what I saw stunned me.

The scene outside could only be described as utter chaos. The terrain looked twisted and out of place, I could see cracks on the asphalt and smoke rising in the distance, cars were crashed into each other and I could see some people running away from… goblins?

Small green creatures were attacking random pedestrians causing mass panic. I could see a few dead bodies lying around already.

I broke from my daze when I heard the sound of the door creaking open. I turned around to see a goblin walking into the room and trust me, they're uglier up close.

It looked like an overgrown child that reached up to my waist with pointy ears, sharp teeth and jarring claws. The colour of its skin was a sickly green and it wore a worn out rag to cover its genitals but left the rest of its body exposed.

I was sure it was a goblin, mostly by its appearance but also by the help of the blue notice on top of its head.

[Goblin Scout]

Lv. 4

The goblin looked about as shocked to see me as I was to see him but while I was occupied by its appearance it revealed a knife and charged at me.

I dodged the attack out of instinct but the blade managed to nick my skin.

-5 HP

I turned around to face the goblin fully alert now. If this goblin thought I was going to be an easy kill, it had another thing coming.

I started to regret putting the knife in the bag, it wasn't doing much use there and I didn't trust the goblin with my back to try get it.

The goblin charged at me again but I was prepared this time.

I evaded the blade more smoothly this time and kicked the goblin's back as hard as I could. It fell forward and dropped the knife. It tried to reach out for it but I quickly jumped on the goblin pushed the knife away.

The goblin gave up on the knife and tried to turn around to attack me but it couldn't move under my weight. I grabbed its neck and squeezed hard. The goblin started wriggling about but couldn't move. I kept choking it until it stopped resisting.

Lv.4 [Goblin Scout] slain.

[Extra experience awarded for slaying a monster four times your level.]

I slowly backed up from the corpse then remembered something. I hurried to the door and locked it before another one of those creatures appeared.

I returned to the room were the goblin died only to see the body as well as the knife releasing very dark smoke. It looked as if it was decomposing but way faster than normal.

Before a minute has fully passed the body and the knife were gone. In their place was a sheathed knife. I picked it up to inspect it and it looked similar to the goblin's dagger.

Probably loot.

I unsheathed it and it looked slightly worn out but considering it had a sheath it's better to carry around than the kitchen knife.

I returned it to its sheath and paced it in my pocket for now.

I released a breath I didn't realise I was holding and put down my bag as I collapsed near the wall for the second time today. After the initial adrenaline rush was over I was quite baffled by my situation.

Is this the apocalypse? A game-like one?

As unbelievable as I found this, it was undeniably true. Proven by the experience I just had and the mayhem occurring behind the window.

People were running around like headless chicken, confusion written all over their faces.

I suppose that's not really odd considering the situation.

I wasn't really dejected by this whole apocalypse thing, it felt like a second chance if anything to me. A second chance at life.

Sure, not a normal life but honestly I don't think I could've lived a normal life after what I've been through.

Besides, I would have gone to jail for murder if it wasn't for this… development.

I guess the best thing to do now is try and grasp my situation.
