2026-07-02 20:56:23On 8 June 2019, a worldwide alert went off.
Before each country could point fingers at each other, the world descended into madness. On that day a foreign entity evaded Earth. It sent a broadcast that reached every single corner of the world. Whether it was from the frozen sea of the North Pole with just floating ice and no land in sight or the extremely hot savannah and desert, everyone heard the same words. THE PLANET EARTH IS UNDER REVIEW. ...ASSESSING... ACCESSING... ASSESSMENT IN PROGRESS!! DOMINANT SPECIES: HUMANS. (HOMO SAPIENS) 7.7 BILLION LIGHTFORMS OF SPECIES DETECTED. LOADING 7.7 BILLION LIGHTFORMS... SCANNING...PLANET EARTH BIOLOGICAL COMPETENCY...LOW WORLD STATUS....BELOW AVERAGE. EARTH'S EVALUATION...BELOW AVERAGE FINAL CONCLUSION FOR EARTH: UNDESERVED! INITIATING REFORMATION... All this happened in less than a minute, after which the whole world fell into silence. It was as if everyone had experienced the same hallucination at the same time. The bizarre announcement has given rise to different conspiracy theories that started to pop up on the internet. Some said that it must be a new biological weapon built by the USA using the common DNA shared by man, which was why it was able to affect everyone across the globe. Others argued that it was made by Russia or a secret underground experiment going on in Africa. Accusations were thrown back and forth without a clear explanation for the strange phenomenon that just took place. Many others waited for an official statement from the government. At 5:00pm in the evening, the president of Country Z stepped up to assure his citizens that there was no need for alarm and the situation didn’t warrant any state of emergency. Everyone was told to ignore what happened. At 10:00pm that same evening, a devastating earthquake struck the earth. Lands split. Buildings were swallowed, and the governments all over the world collapsed. In the middle of it all a clear voice was heard. DUH…DUH… EARTH'S CONCLUSION. HUMANITY HAS OCCUPIED THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN FOR OVER 1000 YEARS, TOWERING OVER OTHER SPECIES ON EARTH. IN WHAT CAPACITY HAVE YOU DEEMED YOURSELF AS RULERS, AND WHY SHOULD SUCH AN ABUNDANT PLACE BELONG TO SUCH IGNORANT SPECIES? THE POLLUTION, WASTE, AND ENTITLEMENT. IT'S TIME FOR HUMANITY TO PAY THE PRICE OF EXISTENCE! This was the day Lucas' life and many others became hell. Accompanying the earthquake were black abyssal holes that swallowed people without spitting out their bones. Everyone will later find out that this was due to the opening of dungeons. A realm beyond the human world, ruled by countless other species. Orcs, goblins, demons, and dragons poured out of black abyssal holes unending. A black mist blanketed the skies, spreading an infection. Those contaminated by it became flesh-eating monsters. On the first day, half of Earth's population fell. On the second day fewer than 2 billion people remained. Their only chance of survival was spelt out for them. ATTACK THE TOWER! [Note: The story begins after the protagonist is reborn. Fragments of his last life will be revealed as the story progressess]

"The scientists are important figures..." Commander Gerald rubbed the space between his brows. "Base A needs these scientists and the experimental materials in their possession."Lucas understood this.After the arrival of the doomsday, the occupations that still remained highly respected were those in the military, medicine, and science.It could be said that the scientists were regarded as top important assets that are critical to the future of humanity.That was how his parents were able to survive and even gain a good footing in base A.They were both scientists, and naturally they were treated with respect and given a high position in Base A just because of their identity alone.Right now the world needs as much information about the dungeon as possible. "Taking the road to Base A is not an option. It’s too dangerous, especially with the scientist under protection. Our base is the closest secure location capable of receiving a helicopter." The commander continued to explain. "S
Recuse request.
The soldier opened the door of the truck and approached the man blocking the way. "I will go take a look."Lucas leaned against the window to see what was happening.The man outside was thin and shabby. His face was stained with dirt, making it almost impossible to tell his age.The white t-shirt he was wearing was already dyed black and riddled with holes. Resembling a beggar."Is there something you need?" Despite the frown on his face from the abrupt interception of their vehicle, the soldier's words were polite."I—am so sorry. I didn't mean to." The man stuttered in a dry and hoarse voice. He glanced between the truck and the soldier in front of him. His worn-out gaze was a common sight in the apocalypse. Devoid of hope and light. "I heard that some people just returned from the black hole—my wife, my pregnant wife—she and my unborn daughter were swallowed by it on our way here."At this point his voice cracked. He seems to understand how impossible these words are; the hand by

The second dungeon was a grade E dungeon and took almost a whole day to clear.Jordon sustained an injury on his arm, while Lucas was badly bruised from the fight.The dungeon was a lush forest, which created cover for the monsters to sneak on and attack."Dig all those ones over there too." The forest created a habitat for useful herbs to grow. Lucas keenly picked them out from among the shrubs, directing the three still able people to dig them up."Hurry up. The dungeon is about to close." They had less than a minute to do all they wanted to do.Most dungeon clearers would hurriedly search for the treasures in it before defeating the dungeon boss. But in some instances the treasures are located in the same place as the boss, and you are forced to deal with them first."Uncle, are you really sure these...things are useful?" Zoe eyed the grass in her hands, feeling like it looked no different from normal weeds."You will see later." Seeing was more believing.Naturally the herbs cou
New neighbors.
"Hah—I feel so full." Zoe sprawled on the floor, rubbing her stomach."Sit up so the food can digest." Gabriel stacked the dishes on top of each other, then said to her. Walking by, he kicked Lucas, who was also lying down. "You too. Stand up and take a walk around the house."Jordon joined in clearing the plates while Mata washed and dried them in the kitchen.Zoe suddenly sat up and snapped her fingers. "I was thinking. Let's give our team a name.""What kind of name?" Lucas thought it wasn't a bad idea.If they were going to become a guild in the future, then they'd need a name."What about the strong and powerful five?"All heads turned to Jordon. The ex-millitary personnel gave an uncertain, sheepish smile. "Is it not good?""Absolutely not." Zoe was characteristically blunt. "It sounds like what you will find in kids' cartoons.""Feels a bit narcissistic." Maya stuck her head out of the kitchen and added."Oh...then let's think of something else.""If there was still an interne
Team work, team dinner.
Forget it.Lucas stepped right back under the showerhead and scrubbed his body fiercely.Wash—wash—rinse.He grabbed the white towel hanging by the rack on the door and wrapped it around his lower half.Once again a knock came from the door."Uncle—""I am already coming right out." Lucas didn't give her the chance to speak. He rummaged through his closet and threw on a black t-shirt and matching grey pants.With hair still dripping, he hurried out of the room.Zoe trailed behind him like a little eunuch.A wave of heat rushed towards him the moment he stepped into the kitchen.In less than ten minutes the kitchen looked like a hurricane had run through it.Apart from the heavy spice hovering in the room, a slight sting permeated the air."Ahh...I can't stop crying. The onions hurt so much." Zoe sniffed with teary eyes.Jordon, who had taken over from her because tears couldn't stop running down her face, was already done with the onions.He chopped the mushrooms into smaller bits.
mission success celebration dinner.
As Lucas rummaged through the cabinets overflowing with ingredients, a sense of fulfilment filled his heart.In an apocalyptic world having enough to eat and a roof to sleep under could be considered a luxury.As a previous rich dandy, five years of struggling through the streets taught Lucas a lot.There was flour at home but no oven. If not, Lucas would have really loved to make bread.It was something that he hadn't eaten in a long time, and now he had the ingredient; he was really itching to try it.Since the meal was intended to serve six people, including four adults, it was important to consider that awakened individuals typically eat significantly more than regular people to compensate for their energy expenditure.Lucas poured eight cups of rice in a bowl. He washed the rice and strained it twice until it was clear, then he poured it into a pot.He added a spoonful of oil and a little salt before placing the pot in the cooker.The cooker turned on with a soft beep, and the li
