The Apocalypse has begun in one of the most unexpected way. It had not been some grand spectacle. Gods did not rain down righteous fury. Nature had not summoned earthquakes and solar flares. Interdimensional beings hadn't arrived and massacred millions. It had been nothing other than a simple, floating message that seemed almost insignificant. It had been nothing more than one sentence. Game mechanics have been activated. With only those five words reality itself was twisted beyond comprehension. It looked the same. It sounded the same. Hell, it tasted the same. But it wasn't. On a fundamental and crucial level, the universe had been become something else. It changed lives across the galaxy. Even mine. Just wish I hadn't been in space when it happened.
