Prologue
The bell rang and with it, the end of the morning classes.
The once quiet corridors were slowly bustling with life as students came out from the classes.
Students that were bored of their classes excitedly jumped out of the their rooms followed by their teacher’s shouts as they reminded those rebellious idiots about the corridor rules, there were some that came out dejectedly thinking about the projects and assignments that they have to do, while others quickly called out to their friends as they talked about their plans for the following days.
As the halls became crowded, the teachers that were the last to come out of their rooms slowly navigated their way through the seas of students.
Within this disorganized and rowdy hallway was a lone figure making his way through the crowd pushing a trolley filled with tools for cleaning.
Wearing a dark blue janitorial clothes, a man around the age of 22-25 with unkempt hair and unshaven beard, the man’s eyes wonder about as he made sure to not hit any passers with his load.
Although it would’ve been best if he could just asked these kids from moving out of his way doing so would only invite trouble as majority of this students were raised lavishly by their parents since young, being ordered or talk to by someone of his lowly self would make them find an excuse for a beating or even worse requesting the school to fire from his job.
Looking at this man the only unique aspect that can be seen, was the pair of earphones that were attached to his ears.
As this objects were already deemed as antiques of ancient past by most historians, finding one that were still properly functioning was something that will make those that work on theses line of profession pay top credits just to buy these from him.
As he carefully made his way through the corridor. Someone softly patted his shoulder.
Turning around to look at who it was the man saw a charming woman standing behind him. The woman had a motherly aura and sporting with her teacher attire, it made her more easier to approach, making people wanted to be spoiled by her.
Seeing the man look at her, she puffed her cheeks moving her hands and pointing her fingers on her ear.
Understanding her actions the man took off his head phones..
“ Dan, Do you ever read your mails? What’s the use of connecting to the school’s mentanet if you don’t even you use it! And why are you still using those relics to listen music with anyway!? AND WHY ARE YOU PUTTING THOSE ON AGAIN!? HEY!!!!!..... ” Immediately after Dan took off his headphones was he barraged by her questions.
Dan knew that answering one of them would only led to another string of questions. He chose to just ignore her and carry on with his work. But stopping him from moving was the teacher that was just asking him those question. With her hand tightly grasping his, her eyes had a tinge of red as she looked at him.
This girl... Dan sighed helplessly; “What do you want, Anika?”
Although he did not want to associate with this woman, ignoring her now would now make him look like a bastard guy ignoring a damsel in distress and with the two of them as the center of the attention that kind of reputation would immediately spread like wildfire.
“I want your help with setting up the Projector for my class”
Dan helplessly agreed and followed Anika to her assigned room for the day. Arriving at the designated room, Dan immediately prep-up the room’s projector, calibrating it’s 3d projection, organizing the files for today’s class.
Although Dan’s official position within the school was just a janitor, he would also do most of the adjustments with some of the school’s equipment making him more of a handy-man rather than just a janitorial staff.
“You Know….” Anika started: “I’ve always wondered why someone as skilled as you chose to work as a janitor when you could’ve applied for a better job, with your itinerary wouldn’t you be able to find a more better position that cleaning other mess?”
Hearing her question, Dan simply answered with “No particular reasons” as he continued with his work. His fingers were skillfully moving over the projected keyboard as his eyes quickly followed each broken code that was currently being projected over the projected screen.
The work that was assigned to him should have been simply reorganizing the sequence of modules that the projector should show and calibrating the 3d images but seeing this strings of broken codes made Dan tense his body.
“Why ask? ”Continuing with his conversation with Anika, as his back was facing to her he could sense the charming teacher silently moving closer.
Knowing this, Dan couldn’t help but sigh inwardly as he prepared the next outcome.
“ No~ particular~ reasons~ ”
Hearing her answer playfully made him more irritated. He reached for his knife inside his pocket and was about to make the first move when he heard Anika bewildered voice…
His mind stopped working as he thought that she noticed his actions, but turning his head to look at her, he noticed that Anika was quietly looking at the air in front of her.
“ What’s the problem? ” Curious, Dan immediately asked.
“No… it just that a message... pop up all of a sudden and....” with her hands behind her back anika replied confusedly.
Message? What wrong with that? Unless it was a new directive for her in this kind of timing would’ve been surprising enough for her, but from the way she was looking it would seem it isn’t….
“ It’s just that the sender name is unknown and isn’t part of my acquaintance list….”
As this words fell on Dan’s ears, a notification for a message popped-up in front him.
Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.
Seeing this, the words surprise was too soft to describe his thoughts. Since for the entirety of his life the ones that were able to have his contact information was only one person and that said person was already gone from this world.
Although it would have been fine if the organization tracked his location, but thinking about their modus-operandi this was something those snakes don't usually do.
With a single thought Dan opened the message and the first thing that he noticed was the timer on top most part of the message as it showed a countdown with a remaining time of 10 minutes and 5 seconds.
Following that was long written message stating:
YO~!
If you’re wondering who I am? let’s just say~... that I am someone that you might know and at the same don’t have a clue off~. ^_^
Okay off to the main point~
The reason that I’ve sent this message to the ENTIRETY of the human race is simple~( And yes I meant the entire world.) I’m bored….
What!? Surprised!? Of course boredom makes people do things stupidly (though I’m not hu…. cough) thus I… The great me, have thought of a new way of entertainment ( though not really new).
The reason why I’m doing so is that the world has become way toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo peaceful…. Although there are some actions going on behind the scene that are quite fun to watch from time to time but they don’t escalate into anything more than that T.T
While as someone who looks over this reality, I should’ve been happy about the long awaited peace but due to the corruption of some GOOD dollywood movies I have made conjunction….
That for my entertainment i need you guys to kill…
And nope… you didn’t misread. I really mean it. Please go and kill some people for me be it your friend, enemy, your lover or the one that NTR’ed your lover, etc, etc, etc…. And besides, Earth is getting too crowded with you guys roaming around and populating it EXPONENTIALLY…..
WHAT!? YOU WONT DO IT!? WHY!!? IT’S FUN YOU KNOW~ STABBY-STAB-STAB~ BANGGY BANG BANG~ AND BOOMS!~ NO~? Okey TT.TT
*Sigh*
Don’t worry Big Ben has a way for you guys to do my bidding!
Let's do a quick recap in history shall we.
In the year X050 majority of the countries that survived the crisis that I bequeath upon them signed an agreement that from then on that they will only use good ol renewable energy to supply their countries with electricity and locking and or sealing off one of mankind's greatest discovery
IN either form of source of electricity or weapons.
What you don’t know them….Ah--- well there is no need for you to know them I’ll only use them once anyway….
With that in mind, I dug those dusty old relics, modified them a wee~ bit and with the help of gaia
Modified it radiations to become eco friendly (ain’t I nice XD)...
Of course it has some nice reaction to organic being such as humans but hey thats I why I did the deed.After that scattered those bad boys all over the world and set them to blow off in about 20 sec….
HAHAHA Gotcha~ when you’re already reading this, you only have about 15 seconds left to find a place to hide but before you do I’ll leave this potato here for all the trouble that I’ve done okay (Will be doing). :D
(End of mess...)
A Quick reminder: You should really eat the potato after (or if) you survive the blast okey. :D
(End of RANT.)
Reading the last part of the message Dan was dumbstruck. Weather this was a prank or not looking at the countdown timer only 7 seconds were left.
Exactly 6 seconds on the countdown timer another notification popped-up.
At 5 Dan opened only to surprised about receiving a Baked potato on his messages.
Dan’s mind blanked out for 2 seconds.
A command prompt suddenly appeared asking if he should materialize the potato..
Although hesitant, Dan clicked on yes. After that a steaming hot potato suddenly appeared on his hand, which only made look at it in disbelief.
Looking at it a dreadful notion passed through his mind…
At that time the countdown timer has already reached zero and at the same time nerve-wrecking explosion were heard one after another across the school….
Following his instincts, his eyes moved to where the explosion located which only made his heart turned cold and his entire body shiver in fright.
Beyond the glass windows were clouds of mushrooms popping-up one after another. With another explosion near their location the entire building shook as it received the blast shock wave head on.
He moved his eyes to where Anika was standing. Seeing the paled face teacher staring back at him, the two of them immediately took separate actions to look for a place to cover.
But as if lady luck was playing a tricks on Dan, the first step he took made the floor under him crumble. With the sudden loss of footing his balance was disrupted making him unable to respond to the sudden events.
Helplessly Dan fell down head first, blood was seeping out of his head. As his consciousness was slowly fading the last things he heard were the cries of the peoples from afar and endless explosions.
