Avid Gamer In The Apocalypse

CHAPTER 4

"Yes, sir. Working with you will be a dream come true," Everett responded instantly without thinking twice.

"That's good. I played your game; it was really nice and had levels and attributes that I have never seen in any other game. It will be nice to have someone like you on board," Mr. Daniel responded. "All you have to do now is input your full name and gaming code, and we shall get down to business."

Mr. Daniel then turned his computer towards Everett, who swiftly typed in his full name and code and hit the accept button.

"Done, sir," Everett informed. Mr. Daniel glanced at the computer and smirked.

"Good, now we wait to see if it worked," Mr. Daniel spoke, pointing towards the wall clock on his right-hand side. Everett shifted his gaze to the clock; it was eleven fifty-eight pm.

"What do you mean? Wait for what?" Everett questioned with a puzzled expression upon hearing Mr. Daniel's words. But the response he got was a smirk.

 "What's going on? What are we waiting for?"

Everett questioned again as the time was now eleven fifty-nine pm. Everett was now starting to feel uneasy, and the smirk on Mr. Daniel's face just made things worse.

"We wait for the merge to begin, and a whole new reality to unfold. Hahahaha," Mr. Daniel cackled as the clock hit twelve o'clock am.

The moment the time hit twelve, the whole headquarters began to shake, and everyone present there lost balance and fell to the floor.

It was an earthquake.

The earthquake continued for a few seconds until it finally stopped, and Everett lifted himself off the floor and wiped his body.

"What's going on? What do you mean by that?" Everett voiced out. Mr. Daniel didn't bother responding as he dashed out of the office and stood on the gallery, where he could see all that was happening on the lower floors of the headquarters.

"It worked," Mr. Daniel exclaimed with a huge grin on his face. Everett also stepped out of the office and stood on the gallery, glancing all the way down to the lower floors of the headquarters.

Glancing downwards, Everett's heart raced as he caught sight of what looked like giant lizards attacking the headquarters.

The lizards were the size of a car, their skin was as hard as rock, their claws the size of a katana blade, and their tongues were as long as whips and sharp as razors. They also had small wings on their backs that helped them to fly.

The workers kept screaming for help and running around as the vicious lizards attacked them and brutally killed them.

Blood filled the whole place like water, and all that could be heard was roaring sounds and cries of agony.

Right where Everett stood and examined the whole thing, his expression was mixed with terror and disbelief. For some reason, the lizards and what was happening right now seemed familiar.

 It was almost like he had witnessed this whole thing before somewhere.

 "The lizards are the size of a car, their skin as tough as rock, their claws like a blade, their tongues the length of a whip and sharp as a razor. Also, two wings behind them that help them fly," Everett muttered to himself in disbelief as he didn't want to accept what he thought was going on.

"This was exactly how I designed the winged lizards in the first level of my game called Aero game," Everett blurted out, and Mr. Daniel, who stood beside him, also had a shocked expression, as if that wasn't what he was expecting.

 "What do you mean?" He questioned, his face bright red with anger.

"In the first level of the Aero game, the enemies that attacked were winged lizards. These exact creatures that are attacking right now."

"And wait, also, this is exactly how level one is. The player gets called into a strange headquarters to do business, and then suddenly some vicious lizards come rushing in to attack.

They kill all the workers and even the boss, and the only person who must survive is the player himself. I know this sounds insane somehow, but I think this is the game!" Everett explained, his heart racing, and his shirt now drenched in sweat.
