Federal Calendar: 21 July 2145
Before the World Orb announcement,
World Federation Room
In a spacious hall, people were scattered about, and a holographic projection commanded attention. Ten individuals occupied seats, engaging in discussions on the next course of action. Among them, three were representatives from the Magic Association.
"Mariyam, could you please explain why the Magic Association is not providing financial support to the government?" Alexander von Falkenheim, representing Germany, inquired.
Mariyam's fury surged upon hearing his words, although she couldn't physically attend the meeting. Yes, she was utilizing holographic technology.
"You ignorant imbecile! Do you think managing the Magic Association is a walk in the park? The situation is dire, with the revelation of hidden dungeons emerging in Antarctica and various other locations. We are teetering on the edge of an apocalypse! What good would funds do in the face of such catastrophic circumstances?" Mariyam Al-Faisal, leader of the Magic Association and a representative from Saudi Arabia, retorted.
"You, you abusive royalty, fucking bitch! I'll kill you!" exclaimed Alexander von Falkenheim.
"What the fuck is going on here? You two, shut the fuck up or be silent, otherwise I'll kill both of you right now," responded Vladimir Sokolov, the leader of the World Federation, representing Russia.
Both of them fell silent after hearing this, and then someone else spoke up.
"You morons! Why are you acting like meatheads? Just because you became world leaders after mana appeared on our Earth and because you're the strongest among them doesn't mean I can't kill you and everyone here for the sake of peace. This is the fucking World Federation, but it feels like we're playing a card game here," Alexander Ramirez from America expressed his frustration.
"He was right. Let's talk like people who have brains. Don't act like meatheads. You've already killed the old World Federation leaders. This is a new federation, and most people don't even know about it. But for now, let's take something seriously for once," Yumiko Tanaka from Japan chimed in.
"There are many things to worry about. As the government of this era, where everything operates based on power, we should also show respect for others," Xi Chen from China emphasized.
"Let's discuss the recent issues concerning awakening and everything we have gained from dungeons. The Magic Association will provide all the necessary details without any further inquiries, am I right, Mariyam?" Indira Rajput from India, one of the leaders in the World Federation, initiated the discussion.
Suddenly, they heard the World Orb announcement. It was at that moment they realized they were in deep trouble. The impending chaos that would ensue was beyond the control of any government. They knew they were facing a dire situation. After hearing the announcement, they adjourned the meeting and went their separate ways, heading back to their respective countries.
One week after the mana awakening, some of the World Federation leaders died because in this situation, only individuals with power can rule over the people.
Vladimir Sokolov from Russia, awoken his innate ability, and it was incredibly powerful. His innate ability allows him to create blackholes effortlessly, like they're nothing. His ability is called Abyssal Singularity.
Innate Ability: Abyssal Singularity
Description: This ability lets the character create and control blackholes, utilizing their immense gravitational forces for various purposes. They can generate blackholes, manipulate gravity, converge blackholes for increased power, and even travel through their event horizons. However, there are limitations to its usage due to excessive energy consumption, unpredictable nature, and potential environmental impact.

After awakening his ability, he killed every single leader of the World Federation. With the gathering of powerful awoken individuals, he established a new World Federation. The people still don't know about it.

In the supermarket, the situation was worse than I expected. I've seen this kind of situation in many apocalypse movies or anime, but this is even worse. My eyes only witnessed a scene filled with bodies, as people tried to loot the supermarket upon hearing the announcement. I'm not saying they're wrong, but this is the worst thing I've seen in this world so far.
I took a step forward and sent Sam to the other side so he could acquire supplies. There are other reasons why I can't show him my inventory space. So, I picked up supplies, including canned food.
My inventory space preserves everything as it was before being put in. I gathered many things because for others, these supplies would spoil, but in my case, they will remain intact within the inventory space.
Skill Name: Cosmic Storage
Skill Rank: ( Unique)
Skill Description:
With Cosmic Storage, you can utilize your infinite realm as an expanded inventory. This unique passive skill grants you unlimited capacity to store and retrieve items, equipment, and resources. The items stored within the cosmic space are protected, immune to damage, decay, or theft. Retrieval is efficient and instantaneous, though larger or complex items may take slightly longer to materialize.
So, I picked many things that's going to be helpful in the future, not only food supplies but also other supplies. That includes medical supplies and many other things, as sometime later, electricity will not be available.
I picked a bag with some supplies so I can fool Sam because I don't want to reveal my any ability in front of him. This is because in the future, I'm going to do many bad things, and I don't want to involve my family in it.
I was just about to go find Sam when suddenly I heard Sam screeching sound. I don't know what happened, but I jumped directly to many sections and went to where the sound was coming from.
After arriving at this place, I saw five people wearing masks and black clothes. One of them held Sam by his hair while two others were beating him as if he were an animal, and the remaining two were laughing.
I was about to kill them, but I saw that one of them, had a blade at Sam's neck.
"Hahaha, Viper, look, the other one has come. Hey, leave everything here, you collected this supermarket is ours now," Twitch said.
"This one is unlucky, hahaha," Viper said.
"Damn, it feels good to kill humans," Razor said.
"Don't be an idiot. We are going to have fun. Just find some chicks," Spike said.
Spike, the one laughing, was the leader.
they are talking and while beating sam, I used my Reality Eyes to gather their details. They were low-level fuckers who had eagerly awaited the collapse of the world order, being the first to embrace their dark reality.
Seeing the true nature of humans, I was at a loss for words. These individuals could truly be called evil. People may resort to murder in dire situations, but these individuals were killing people like animals and doing it for their own twisted pleasure.
I saw Sam lose consciousness, and I whispered, "Sorry, Sam, get some rest."
[Instant Transfer]
Using my ability, I teleported Sam to my side and carefully placed him on a nearby counter to let him rest.
As Sam vanished before their eyes, the shock on their faces was evident, but I had no intentions of granting them an easy death. Opening my Cosmic Domain, I pulled them inside, depriving them of air and suffocating them. However, I was determined to make them suffer for their inhuman actions.
[Reality Eyes]
With my Reality Eyes, I delved into their life histories, reading the depths of their depravity and cruelty towards others.
"Alice, use skill creation ability to establish minimal living conditions in my domain. I don't want them to die too quickly. Additionally, if possible, create different time flows within the cosmic domain and outside of it. This way, I can extend their suffering and ensure they understand the depths of their inhumanity," I commanded Alice.
[Temporary establishment of minimum living conditions and creation of different time flows in the cosmic domain is in progress.]
[Master, the task has been completed in the cosmic domain. They can survive for a maximum of five hours inside, while only five minutes pass outside. However, I must inform you that a significant portion of your mana has been consumed in creating the different time flows.]
With everything in place, I observed the five individuals struggling to breathe in this hostile space. Alice had adjusted the conditions so that they could barely hang on for five hours. They resembled dying fish.
Approaching the one who had held Sam by the hair and threatened him with a blade, I lifted his head and retrieved the dagger I had acquired from the assassin during my looting spree.
======
Somewhere far from this place, Alex sat on his throne, his crown resting upon his head, exuding an undeniable handsomeness. His reality eyes observed intently as an old event unfolded before him.
[Alex, Future Self]
"You fucking author, don't describe what I'm doing. I'll do it myself. Well, forget it. Let's see this scenario again. I'm looking at the dying blue planet, and my past self is about to torture some thugs because they tried to hurt his family. I also agree with him, hahaha, do it.
This is the place where I faced my biggest enemy in the early days, and looking at my past self, I really look like an idiot who didn't know anything until now.
Well, this is future me, because every mistake I make, I learn from it. If you guys are reading this and thinking why I'm here, it's because I didn't want to forget this mistake that I will make. So, I'm reminding myself. I'm seeing this from the long future, but never forget this place.
Don't worry, I'm not giving you a spoiler. This is just an early chapter of my story that you all are reading. I can manipulate this story as I like, but I learn many things from this place in my early days, so I let that happen."
