THE END OF THE WORLD
Blinking his eyes open, Koby looked up at the white ceiling as he sighed. Groaning from a slight headache he stood in the white room with many of his coursemates that had been awaiting lectures with him. Kai at his right, James at his left. They were okay and he was relieved to know that. Now they had to figure out what had happened and where they were. A few students were already panicking in the white room. “ what's going on here?” "Help, anybody?!" The slight mutterings soon turned to a full blown hysteria. Everyone began looking for an exit but there was known to be found. Suddenly, a bright light emanated just above the students and a human like figure with no face came in through the glimmer. It had a smile lining from cheek to cheek revealing a jagged set of teeth. The aura he emanated was terrifying. "Hello, bugs of the universe. You have all died." "Died?" Koby was surprised at that statement. Looking at his hands, he wondered if this was what death really felt like.
THE END OF THE WORLD 2
After a while, everyone appeared in a large mansion. After a brief exchange between the trio, they accessed their situation. The population of the united individuals in the mansion had definitely increased than the number they had left in the white room. This meant that a few others had joined them. Seems like they weren't alone in this. The faceless creature appeared again. The grin on his face as wide as ever. "It seems you are now worthy of knowing my name. I am Nexarion. Use it with respect." "The second stage for qualifications to be in the scenes will now begin. Keep your strength up and don't die if you want to pass the qualifications round." With that Nexarion disappeared through the rift he had come through. Suddenly, an alarm blared and then a voice spoke. Survival Mode Survive the forest of Shoggoths. The time limit is two weeks Personal weaponry for all surviving candidates have been unlocked. Skill sets have been unlocked. Survival mode starts in 5 hours. "Soun
THE END OF THE WORLD 3
Shoggoth Britney launched a tentacle attack at the two boys, but they were quick enough to dodge and counter attack. Koby spinning his hatchets and dodging attacks while hacking at tentacles, James dodging and dashing while slashing off tentacles James was very effective in dealing with the tentacles but it was too much for him to handle by himself. Suddenly an idea popped in Kai’s mind “James head straight in, while Koby hacks off the tentacle attacks. I’ll try to pin her at a spot so you can finish her off.” Spitting out blood, Koby rushed in, hacking at attacks as laid out in the plan creating room for James to move in swiftly and head for the neck of the monster. The monster knew it was in a dangerous position and tried to move away but was shot at by Kai. Groaning in pain, it realized that it had been cornered and went beserk, attacking like a wild animal concentrating all it’s attacks on James. In that moment, Koby leaped up and using a spin hacked the monster’s neck. Th
THE END OF THE WORLD 4
Koby let out a heavy breath as he watched her leave. “She’s a feisty.” Rory announced his presence from a doorway looking at Koby with his hands folded. “I guess so.” Koby said and made for the door “I like you, Koby. You seem like you understand the situation well. And you’re clearly weary of me.” Rory said smiling while extending an arm for a handshake. “You are very unpredictable, Rory.” Koby said without returning the handshake. “You’re weary of me. Smart. But we really need to cooperate with each other if we are to have a chance at surviving.” Rory explained “This is a period of doubt and my instincts say you’re very dangerous. I have been one to listen to my instincts.” “My instincts told me that you seem like someone that can survive. Don’t try to go at it alone or you will end up dead.” Rory said before leaving. “I also think you will survive.” Koby muttered under his breath. Back in the large hall, everyone were still trying to process their loss and prepare themsel
THE MANSION
Everyone looked at him with a confused look and so he explained further. “We have a lot of dead weight in the mansion that keeps holding potential survivors down. People that don’t want to use their abilities, so if we can divide everyone into units and put each unit in a section of the mansion, we can each focus on our dead weights instead of joining up and increasing the amount of dead weights.” “Then what was all that speech you gave on the steps earlier, if you were going to divide the weak ones why give the speech.” Kai asked “To give everyone a sense of unity so as to avoid people becoming desperate and jeopardizing others. No matter how you see it, this is our best way to survive.” “The shoggoths are too many and if we divide into units,we might hold them off for a while. A night or two perhaps and when everyone is at their lowest, they’ll kill us.” Rory said. “Why don’t we bring everyone together and barricade the entrances of the mansion and defend the barricades.” Zara
THE MANSION 2
The Advance Team was being pushed back by the hordes of shoggoths that came their way. “Leave those that are dead and take the injured ones back to base.” Luna shouted out as everyone grabbed the nearest to injured. “Zara, burn the corpses.” Koby said. Zara looked at him with a confused look. “The shoggoths might take their forms.” Koby explained further which caused her to create a wave of flames which consumed the flesh. “Flame Storm.” With that, the advance team fled back to the Recon Team’s position. The Recon Team had made their preparations, stacking furnitures on top of each other, making a good walk, so that anyone that comes through has to go over. The injured Advance Team made their hop over as the Recon Team prepared their attacks against the oncoming shoggoths. “Hold the line.” Clifford shouted at everyone as they attacked the shoggoths. The stacked up furnitures helped as the shoggoths were forced to climb over the construction. With this, they could deal with th
THE MANSION 3
In a dark void, Koby floated around before regaining consciousness. “Am I dead?” He asked himself as he felf himself and the way around the void. “This is supposed to be my incarnate?” A loud voice boomed across the void. “Pathetic.” The voice said with disgust. Fear trickled down Koby’s spine as he looked around. “Who’s there?” He finally summoned up courage to ask. “Who do you think?” the voice chuckled. “If you’re going to kill me, make it quick. Don’t keep me in suspense.” Koby said. “The only good thing about you is your hate. You have an innate hatred for your own existence.” The voice continued as though, Koby had not said anything. “What do you know about me?” Koby said now annoyed at this being that was trying to read him. “In your entire lifetime, you have been beset with problems that has made you to hate existence itself. The last time I saw that type of hate was from myself.” Just then two ghostly eyes and a smile appeared in the void. “What are you?” Koby asked
KILL OR BE KILLED
“That was so fast.” Luna said as she struggled to lift her sword. Everyone was now in awe of Koby. He wasn’t a mindless creature like the shoggoths that were easy to cut down. He was a fully functional human being that was now hunting them after they were already tired out. “Hit him with Resonance, Rory.” Zara shouted. With a clap of his palms, Rory created the sound wave that caused pain to those nearby but didn’t faze Koby. Resonance couldn’t penetrate the dark aura surrounding him. Rushing towards Rory with a ghost step, Koby tried to hack at him but is blocked again. “You’re not getting me that easily.” Rory said smirking. Koby let out a grin before using his second hatchet to strike again but it was narrowly avoided by Rory, as he tried to keep distance between them. Just as Koby was about to move, earthen rocks covered is body. It had been cast by Clifford. “Is someone going to kill him?” Clifford shouted. “Coming through.” Rory announced jumping in to slice Koby’s
