Chapter 9 World's Reaction

Afterward, 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?

'Is this a coincidence? No, it even convinced others who were skeptical 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 worst 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 rumor 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.

In an unknown place, time, and reality with countless stars and galaxies

surrounded, an unknown being could be seen sleeping.

Its body stretches as long as the distance between galaxies.

As it notices a certain event happening, it opens its eyes.

"So...it has begun once again...Apocalyptical..." Its voice echoed and destroyed

thousands of galaxies before returning to its slumber as it once again closed its

eyes.
