"Ahhhhhh!"There were screams of horror, pain, and agony coming from outside the classroom. The sound of people running and screaming at the top of their lungs in rushed panic, as well as the occasional shriek of anguish, resounded within the building.The monsters had begun to feast..."Help me!""Run! Everyone, run!""Jane! That monster got Jane!""We're all gonna die!"Meanwhile, Rhys was already weighing out his options, 'It's probably too dangerous to go out now. Those monsters are on a killing spree. I'll let the initial storm blow over before taking any action.'The entire school was in chaos, and strange alien creatures had invaded the entire planet.Rhys chuckled to himself as he observed all these things play out.'The beginning of the end, huh? I didn't think I'd get to witness this in my lifetime.'A lot of people tried escaping from the building. The monsters chased after the desperate humans, dismembering them as they tried to reach safety. Like hunters letting their prey

9TH LAYER OF HEAVEN, PALACE OF TIAN...The Heavenly Emperor had been sitting on his throne for a while, staring into space. The throne room of Tian was one of the most magnificent places in the universe, a nice fit for the dwelling place of the supreme ruler of the Celestial deities.The halls of his palace seemed to carry on into infinity, as they had been inlaid with special magic circles by the best of engineers, manipulating the spacial laws within.With pillars inlaid with rare gems and jewels that could increase the density of mana in the air to the point of saturation, where mana crystals of the greatest purity started to appear, as well as floors marbled with the most precious of stones, and the most magnificent throne made of the most precious of metals.Tian's throne room was truly amazing, but it was also decorated with body parts of powerful enemies he had slain.The heads of great beasts such as Dragons, gorgons, and titans occupied shelves like trophies kept as a symbol o

Upon getting out of the building, Rhys a quick look around to observe his surroundings.'The skies are grey.'The formerly blue skies were covered in grey clouds that stretched out as far as the eyes could see.This added backdrop of melancholy made the already downcast atmosphere even more depressing and gloomy.He briefly scanned the area for any potential threats, before heading in a certain direction. When the god ash fell, the monsters scattered to various areas of the school, and he was headed to one of the places he figured a large number of them had fallen.He walked for some time until the building behind him disappeared. As he walked forward, he noticed the silhouette of a few figures Finncing ahead of him.***{Bladeless Devil Spawn}: Level 3(Normal)Strength: 30Agility:20Defense: 5.HP: 200/200MP:20/20Skills: Nil.***These monsters were shorter than the ones he had previously encountered, about the height of an average human, with little defense, as they were not cover

Rhys woke up in a classroom with barely any illumination streaking in from the slightly open windows.With a grunt, he stood up and proceeded to stand in front of the open windows whilst resting his hands against the window sill.Looking up, he saw the skies covered in a thick grey blanket, indicating the coming of a shower.He sucked in a deep breath, relishing the light scent of ozone in the air.He immediately felt his spirits rise and the little bit of drowsiness that came with waking up in the morning fade away as he took in another big gulp of air into his lungs.As he stretched, his bones made creaking noises as they were forcibly pushed back into their original positions.He began recalling the dream he had last night. He had talked to a dragon in his dream.Rhys didn't know if he was going mad, or if the events of the previous day were messing with his mind. Either way, he was about to pass it off as just a dream until he instinctively open his status screen.***Name: {Rhys R
