Worlds’ Apocalypse Online

The Human realm.

A harrowing strong wind howled.

Heaven and earth were completely blurred, obscured by the strong rain.

Dark grey clouds eclipsed the sky, with the occasional bolt of lightning arcing across the layers of clouds.

The world was sporadically illuminated.

At a certain point.

A bolt of lightning descended from above and struck the mountain range.

Some fire started rising from a valley in the mountain.

The flames rapidly spread throughout the entire hill, slowly building up to become a wildfire that not even the rain and the strong wind could douse.

Bang!

Booming thunder continuously flickered behind the clouds.

Wind and rain ravaged the foresty mountain, lightning and fire adding to the chaos.

Everything seemed gloomy.

Far above the sky, a tiny black dot suddenly zoomed in.

----it was a person.

As soon as that person appeared, he immediately shot through the thick layers of black cloud and descended towards the ground.

His eyes were tightly shut, his body was clad in a set of white armor with red patterns.

The armor had already been thoroughly broken, only a few pieces still remained barely hanging onto his body, which were then scattered by the howling strong wind as well.

The man seemed to have fallen unconscious and was completely oblivious about everything occurring around him.

In the rain and wind.

He was descending increasingly faster------

If nothing changed, he would directly crash onto the ground.

One breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

As time slowly passed, the man continued to remain motionless.

Suddenly, a faint golden light appeared around his body which manifested into a golden coin.

Chink ca-kling---------

The coin circled around the man once, gave off a curt loud noise before it vanished without a trace.

Descending.

Descending.

Continuously descending.

A flock of birds in the forest were scared off by the spreading fire.

Their natural fear of fire caused those birds to hurriedly take flight in an attempt to get away from the source of fire, but a bolt of lightning suddenly struck the region not too far away from where they were, right as they took off.

Bang!

The sound of thunder swiftly followed.

The flock of birds were spooked once again by the thunder and hurriedly flew in a different direction, which just happened to intercept the falling man's collision course.

As a faint glow flickered around their bodies, the birds weren't crushed to death by the descending man, but their formation was disturbed and once again fled in another direction.

The trajectory of the man's descent was also altered by this.

Just in time for a huge gust of wind to arrive and carry him off as he continued his descent.

This tiny change directly caused his point of impact from a pile of jagged mountain rocks to the riverbanks next to the forest.

Sha sha sha sha!

The sound of rain battering the river and ground combined with the howling wind had completely drowned out every other sound.

A silent bubble appeared on the surface of the huge river.

As the man fell into water, his downward momentum was rapidly killed off as he brushed past a large fish that was over five meters in length.

The fish was originally just playing around in the water, so it didn't expect to crash into a human and reflexively swatted the man away with its tail before dashing off.

Being swatted by the fish, the man finally started to float up.

Within the intense water current, a large branch of burnt wood just happened to drift by.

The man's arms got caught onto the branches, causing his body to swivel several times along with the large branch in the water before settling down on top as they started floating downstream.

The river current was fierce and the rain was unrelenting.

The sky gradually grew darker and darker.

The sudden downpour had formed an intense current that carried the large branch all the way downstream.

At a certain point, a black shadow that was over ten meters in length rapidly appeared from below the river and chased after the large branch.

However, before it could reach its target, a longer and more ferocious black shadow appeared from deeper under the water.

The two shadows remained mutually cautious of one another, but quickly proceeded to clash with each other.

A part of the river was dyed red from their blood.

But the large branch simply continued to float downstream.

An entire night went by.

The rain continued to fall without any signs of stopping.

A giant bird showed up in the gloomy grey sky.

The bird noticed the floating branch as well as the unconscious person on it very quickly.

------that's a nice breakfast.

The bird flapped its wings and swooped down in a lively manner.

Bang!

The clouds above discharged its lightning once again.

Right at this moment, several bolts of lightning streaked across the sky and struck the giant bird at the same time.

The bird cawed in desperation, struggling to stay in the air, but it quickly lost its life and splashed down into the water.

The large branch and the man stuck on it were still completely fine as they continued their journey.

Time slowly passed.

The sky gradually grew dark again.

The river was becoming increasingly narrower with barren landscape on both riverbanks.

At a certain point, the golden coin flew out again, hovering in front of the man's face to illuminate his expression.

------he was still unconscious.

But it had already been one whole day, and [True Luck] was about to run out.

The night mercilessly descended once more.

The golden coin gave off a cry, then retracted all of its golden light and entered the man's body again.

At the very last moment, the large branch started to veer off from the current of the river and gradually drifted ashore.

The branch did not decelerate at all and violently crashed into a rock on the river bank.

Bam!
