Apocalypse Cheater

Chapter 9: World's Reaction

Afterwards, he looked around the treasures, his heart thumped with happiness and satisfaction.

One by one he began storing all these gold coins, diamond coins, storage chests, scrolls, and items, and to his surprise, there were hundreds of skill books.

But most of them were grade C. Thus, he just kept them inside his inventory.

Even though it was grade C it still provided him with a sense of accomplishment as this was a feat he couldn't achieve before.

Meanwhile, as Daniel continued his next objectives, a storm of turmoil roiled across the world, a tempest born of uncertainty and fear.

The enigmatic arrival of the divine being ignited a conflagration of chaos, engulfing nations in an inferno of apprehension.

An eerie hush settled over the populace, their whispers laden with unease and trepidation.

The appearance of this mysterious entity birthed a nation-spanning crisis, a maelstrom of existential dread that defied comprehension.

Amidst the cacophony of theories and conjectures, fervent voices emerged, each proclaiming a truth they held as irrefutable.

In one corner, fervent believers hailed the being as a harbinger of salvation, a prophetic envoy sent by higher powers.

Others, veering to the opposite extreme, fervently declared it a devil in disguise, an omen of doom lurking within an otherworldly veneer.

The very fabric of reality seemed to shiver and quake, the foundations of established norms and beliefs fractured by the presence of an entity beyond human understanding.

As uncertainty reigned, humanity grappled with questions that eluded easy answers, their world forever altered by the arrival of the enigmatic divine being.

It only has been 3 hours since Daniel's adventure, but the aftermath has had an impact on the world.

Newspaper reports, TV news, and other forums or articles exploded in all sorts of reactions.

'Was that god?'

'No, it must be the devil'

'If that's true, then why would it have an angelic appearance?'

'Fools like you are why you're still single. Who in the world would easily be fooled by appearance? Even an angel can be disguised as a devil'

'You know, there's a saying of how it's impossible to be perfect like an angel, but it's easier to be a devil'

'What...the...'

'Why are we going off-topic?'

There were countless forums on the internet raging wildly as others placed their thoughts and opinions which drifted off to a completely different topic.

But others were much keener on the words said by the Celestial Being.

'A new reality called Modern Fantasia? Isn't this just similar to virtual reality which is becoming a hit nowadays?'

'You all really believed that? How can you trust from...I don't know...something that easily?'

'Chill man, it's not like this is the end of the world'

'THIS IS THE END OF THE WORLD, THE GODS HAVE BEEN ENRAGED BY HUMANS, AND THUS HAVE FOUND THEIR WAY TO OUR DEMISE'

'Really bro? Are the gods ending our lives by stimulating a virtual reality? That's funny

'It's a million times better to die in a game than to suffer the consequences of doomsday'

'Yup, I agree

'Me too'

'Me three'

'Me four'

'Me...

'...

'But aren't there any chances of it being...you know...a terrorist attack...?'

'How dumber can we be? Are you suggesting that? Please tell me you're being sarcastic'

'As much as I want to believe anything other than an existence that we have yet to understand, I completely agree with you. Tell me you're being sarcastic'

'While we're commenting here on this forum. The expertise in media has been invited immediately in debunking theories and coming up with assumptions'

'Yeah man, I have watched some of that and I agree it couldn't be a terrorist attack

'First of all, what kind of technology allows a hologram to be as huge as a skyscraper building? To add on, it's even harder to create a gigantic and realistic holograph. Our current technology isn't sufficient to operate that kind of spec. It'll cost millions if not billions'

'Yeah, that kind of makes sense. Moreover, hacking all over communications lines all over the world is an insane feat and for your information, there are reports of nearby individuals that commented its voice reaching lands away from its spot'

'But that's what isn't scarier the most. Did you know? Its appearance causes natural disasters all around the world for a short moment. Don't believe it? Click this link to watch those clips. WW...

'Is this a coincidence? No, it even convinced others who were sceptical about that, and now, the whole media is in turmoil'

'Still, is it true that we can enter a new reality and be able to use powers from there to this world? Isn't that like a dream come true?'

'Yeah, I can't imagine what it's like controlling powers'

'While that sounds good, we have yet to find out the way to enter that whole new reality

'But isn't this a bit dangerous, if we can utilize powers, wouldn't order and balance be broken?'

'If you think in that way, then...it's true. If we have yet to consider what kind of power levels it can cause, then it's safe to assume that the powers obtained can be dangerous if guns or weapons wouldn't work against it

'This scares me a lot, like really a lot

'I can't imagine what would happen if criminals or terrorists were able to gain supernatural powers

'Stop, just thinking about it makes me think that our worse enemies are ourselves'

'But doesn't this excite you? Isn't this like those novels where you can gain overpowered abilities and be surrounded by a harem?'

'Oh god here we go again'

'Sigh, another bunch who can only think of his dick'

'Well, it's time to call those bonkers'

'No horny on this section, please'

'Those wannabe heroes are already blowing up on the internet claiming that they were the chosen one'

'Oh, you saw it, dude!?'

'Yup, I couldn't hold my laughter over their confidence'

'B-But isn't that good if we can be blessed with a harem'

'Hey man, I get that you're excited about all this stuff, but we don't even know what kind of world we're talking about. Heck, we don't even know whether it's true or not. I suggest you not let your hopes up'

'Hahahaha, another fool with wishful thinking'

While the rumour of Modern Fantasia raises the dream of countless men and women, no one knows whether it's a fortunate outcome.

Whether it'll be a blessing or disastrous, it'll be up to them to find out in the future.

And by then, many wouldn't claim the same words.
