A mythical being that came down from the far universe and had been asleep on Earth, the [End Project], has been activated.
With over 6 billion people, humanity was drawn into a game of [horror] concept.
From infants who hadn’t even turned one to the elderly on the brink of death, everyone became a [player] and were forced to play the horror game.
They had to fight against the terrifying hunger that they couldn’t withstand if they didn’t eat their own flesh, kill grotesque creatures with monstrous appearances, and avoid brutal traps that would cause them to lose parts of their bodies even if they let their guard down for a moment, all while clearing the stages.
Naturally, humanity, who was accustomed to peace, didn’t have the strength to overcome this horrific ordeal. It was a dreadful trial that resulted in the population of over 6 billion reducing to less than 500 million.
From a cosmic perspective, it was a situation where our 34th Earth should have definitely perished.
Yes, it would have been that way if [he] wasn’t there.
A transcendent being who blossomed all of his potential on the stages, born from an extraordinary lineage.
If there hadn’t been a great and magnificent [Game Master].
“Wait. Wait a minute… This is different from the stages, right? It’s not a horror concept… And most importantly, it seems like there are no other players besides me.”
Thud!
Even in my complex mind, my body moved busily.
Thud! Thud! Splash!
I break my neck. I rip my Achilles tendon as I pass by, and pierce my heart.
The gaze that looks at me, the shifting center of gravity, the movement of the muscles. The angle of the soles of their feet tells me how they will attack.
While the strength and vitality of Orcs were truly astounding, their techniques were primitive. They used swords, axes, and even spears, but they didn’t have any tricks or deceit, so just by disturbing their breathing and destabilizing their stance, I could easily deal with them.
However.
“Oh~~ lolo lolo lolo!”
“He’s strong! This human warrior is strong!”
“That guy, I’ll kill him!”
“No! I’ll kill him!”
Orcs keep popping out from the pillar of light. While I kill one, ten more come out.
Although I’m clearly killing the orcs, they keep pushing me back endlessly. Just by fighting for an additional 10 minutes, my Lordship was filled with green monsters.
“What? How many are coming out?!”
At a glance, there are over a thousand orcs. There are only 3000 inhabitants in my territory, and yet there are 1000 orcs popping out by themselves to oppose the soldiers.
Moreover, orcs are still coming out from the pillar of light. I have no idea how many more will come out.
“I need to get out of here.”
Fortunately, while I drew the aggro, both the soldiers, the gazelles, and the inhabitants of my territory were able to escape. If the orcs had cleverly surrounded them or relentlessly pursued the inhabitants of my territory, it would have been impossible, but those beast-like creatures reluctantly gathered only towards the chaos that I was causing.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that the inhabitants of my territory escaped unscathed.
“Damn it. My territory… The inhabitants…”
My blood boiled, but rebuilding and revenge are things that can only be done if I survive. I calmed my breathing and surveyed the surroundings.
By now, the number of orcs popping out from the pillar of light has exceeded 2000. It would be a dangerous situation if I were to be encircled.
But as I was thinking that.
Eerie!
[Imminent Unavoidable Battle Foreknowledge] warned me of an attack that would be inflicted upon me.
However, just because I foresaw it didn’t mean I could avoid it completely. The range of the attack was extremely wide, and above all, it was too fast.
Thump!
With a tremendous shock, my vision instantly turns pitch black.
Thunk!
When I come to my senses, I find myself rolling on the ground from right shoulder to nape, with a double-edged axe stuck in me.
Naturally, my ribs are completely shattered and blood rises up through the hole in my throat.
“Fuck… What is this?”
As I groaned, I saw a double-edged axe stuck from my right shoulder to my nape.
As expected, my ribs were smashed and my lungs were torn, letting blood flow up through my throat.
“Crunch! The human is dead!”
“What a shame! I wanted to kill him!”
“Oh, the boss has arrived!”
The orcs were roaring.
And an opponent, who seemed to have thrown the axe after breaking through the pillar of light, appeared.
Thud!
My steps are heavy.
