Late Evening - ???? : The Fotten Altar, Dracoria
-----
Hi. My name is Evreir, and I am a normal human...
At least I use to be.
Oh, I would have been viewed as a regur girl, standing about 175cm tall, with bck hair and silver pupils.
But to most, I probably looked like some thug.
I always wore bck clothes and listening to loud music through outdated, wired earbuds so no one would bother me. If I ever o leave the house, I just tossed on some clothes to cover up ao do whatever I o.
No matter what, I made sure to keep to myself and not stand out.
But it wasn't always like that.
Through school and uy, I was a bright and cheery student w to bee a game developer with my family and friends always being there and supp me.
But then 'that day' came.
The m of my 22nd birthday, just a few months after I graduated from uy, the regur phone call to my parents was interrupted by another call; one from the authorities.
It was the call that informed me of my parents unfortunate passing.. and the culprit was onoxide poisoning.
To say it was devastating wouldn't do it justice. My whole world fell apart.
It didn't take long for my friends to bee distant as well. Although I didn't mean to, I unknowingly pushed them away... Before I even realized, I was locked in my apartment, watg anime, reading manga, pying games, aing cheap, microwavable food.
Having at least been knowledgeable enough to i my parents' iance, I mao accumute enough wealth to retire by 25 and had more than enough moo do whatever I wanted, but I had no motivation to eve.
My life and motivations had simply been ed by the void.
But, no matter how much I wao dwell on it, memories of those times had long-since faded.
"Uwaah..." Letting out a yawn, I looked up at the bright e sky with a bnk expression. -I wonder what Earth is like now...- The grass I was lying i like bdes of metal, and the e sky smelled like a mix of iron and sulfur.
*Ding!-Ding!-Ding!-Ding!-Ding!-Ding!* tless noises met my ears as thousands of small windoeared in front of me. -There they are.-
You have killed a Level -1 '???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????'Received:-14,756,421,826 Gold3 Items:
-I guess the drones found the st y...- *fwip* With a wave of my hand, the panels disappeared and stopped reappearing. "Haah..."
Currently, I was in a world pletely different from Earth. Ohat was so simir to a videogame that I had to stantly question if this was simply the afterlife. If this was hell.
But it's not like where I was or what the mission the system gave me was mattered any more.
*THUMP-SPLASH* *THUMP-SPLASH* *THUMP-SPLASH*-Hm?- Looking up a bit, I saw a colossal, nearly 200-meter-tall lizard charging at me with enough drool leaking from its mouth that it could fill a pond. -One snuck past the drones, huh...-
Not b to sit up, I grabbed a pebble off the grouo me and casually tossed it up at the lizard. *vwoop-pop-BAAAAANNG*
Its entire head vanished instantaneously, along with a massive se of the dense e atmosphere behind it, exposing the dark, starry sky.
In the past, seeing the night sky would make my eyes sparkle; It would make question if Earth was out there somewhere, and if I would ever return there.
But that curiosity and yearning to leave this hell vanished about 500 years ago.
*PLAASH* As the huge body of the lizard limply fell into the water beh the ledge I was on, I looked back up at the sky to watch the foggy e atmosphere fill in the hole I created. "Haah..." -I wonder if the clock has glitched yet...- "System Open."
*Ding!* The main system panel immediately appeared in front of me, showing dozens of tabs and is around the edges, with the tral text dispying:
World: "Dracoria"
Mission Type: Pary Extin
Rank: ERROR
Popution: Error Code C.725Total Gold: -???4????|??????,????1?????~????,??????|???-??????9??????8?????,?????4?????-??????5????Iory and GearUpgradesStatsThe number of s was stantly fluctuatiween positive aive, causing the o blur together and make it impossible to read even if you could stop time. -I'm surprised it hasn't triggered a calcution error like the popution t...-
But that wasn't what I was there to look at.
*Boop* Tapping the 'Epsed' tab at the top, the text updated.
Time Epsed: 554 Years - 187 Days - 20 Hours - 14 Minutes - 48 Seds
Estimated Time Remaining: UnknownFor a very long time, I figured that the 'Time Remaining' statistic was a sign that this hell would end at some point, but absolutely nothing happe 100, 1,000, 10,000, or even 100,000 missions pleted.
Eventually, I just stopped g.
-Well, I guess it's not like its that bad...- Finally sitting up, I gnced back toward the o to see an endless field of colossal bodies floating lifelessly in their own blood. -Some of the worlds were quite pretty... Having to destroy them was a bit of a shame...-
*Ding!* Another panel appeared in front of my face as I looked out toward the setting sun.
All Hostile Life Exterminated
4,291 Upgrades Collected:
In short, the paold me all the items I, or the drones I sent out, collected ao my iory, as well as the upgrades I got from killing monsters.
In the past, I would spend hours looking through it just to see if there was aer gear, or improved strategies and synergies I could make use of.
But now, I had so many upgrades that my stats were all errors, I could destroy entire ps on a whim, and had an iory so massive that eveomatic systems in pce couldn't regute it. -I 't even see how many upgrades I have anymore... A few of the rarest ones seem to cap at 999, but I think that's just a visual bug...-
Just to check if there was any ge, I tapped the 'Upgrades' tab aed the first upgrade.
*Boop* But as expected, there wasn't.
Draft Gun
Number Possessed: ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
This Upgrade causes projectiles (with the i of harm) to have an additive 5% increase to their maximum initial velocity.
Current Bonus: ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Active: ON-Why do I even bother cheg...- Quickly swiping my hand, I closed the menu and got ready to start my mission, but just as I went to stand up, another panel appeared.
Critical ErrorNo Further Missions Avaible|- New System Feature Unlocked! -|-Huh?- It anel I had never seen before.
Thinking it was just an, I tapped on it without expeg much. *tap*
However, it was most definitely real.
Return Avaible!|- You ow return to worlds you have previously visited as long as they have not beeroyed. -|I could only stare wide-eyed at the panel as the frigid, toxic air blew past me. -W..what?-
It was the ohing I had wanted sihe beginning.
The End.
But for some reason, I felt flicted about it... -Return to any world I have previously visited? Does that mean I return to Earth?- "System Open."
*Boop* Immediately opening the ab, I resented with a list of exactly 184,214 names, all of which being worlds I had previously visited, with the return status of the p o it.
*Boop-Boop-Boop-Boop* I typed Earth into the search immediately.
And as if it was waiting for me, it appeared.
World NumberWorld NameWorld TypeReturn AvaibilityMission HistoryWorld #0EarthHome WorldReturn Avaible's really here...-
*tap*
Are you sure you would like to return to 'Earth'?
You will be notified, and summoned when a new mission is avaible.
YesNoStill unsure whether to believe it, I hesitated, but as the ps star finally dipped below the horizon and a brutal frost started to spread across the ps surface, I decided it was worth a shot. -Worst case sario, I die... But is that really a bad thing?-
I looked up at the glowing sky again before letting out a deep breath. "Hooh..." -Well, here goes nothing...-
*Boop*
