Volume One Arc 01 Book One: Chapter 001: The Arrival of the World Administrator
----------------------------------------
Without warning, deep withinside the depths of unknown space, within the inner borders of the Milky Way Galaxy. An anomalous activity can instead be detected, as a large spatial distortion can be surmised, and a wide wormhole-like crack then appears over a vast span of area.
In which, a masked youth dressed up in a futuristic sci-fi fantasy attire, then steadily emerges out from withinside the wormhole-like spatial gate. Head first, then the upper body, and finally the lower torso.
After fully transitioning from one place to another. With the wormhole spatial gate immediately closes, shortly afterwards, right behind the masked youth.
The masked youth's futuristic robotic mask face plate that somewhat resembles an animal-like rabbit then shifts, moving apart to somewhat reveal the lower portions of the masked youth's face and lip. The masked youth's lips then curl back into a smile.
And then, a somewhat childish angelic voice, impossible to differentiate between male or female then immediately comes out from the rabbit masked youth's lips. "I've finally made it towards my targeted destination, the Milky Way Galaxy. With {Earth} being the prime targeted planet to then began the assimilation process of the [World Integration Protocol] like the World Creator has instead instructed me to."
'The inhabitants of {Earth} have long since grown more accustomed to peaceful years. They have become more stagnant and instead steadily growing in numbers. As the most proliferated and diverse dominant species of this planet, the so-called humans that are of Ape descent, has managed to instead advance technology and science far enough to fully terraform the planet. So it's about time to instead introduce it towards the rest of the World and the other Galaxies within the Universe.' The rabbit-masked youth thought so to itself, as a sinister-like conniving smile then began to appear over its petite cute little face, almost like it was just about to unfold and then orchestrate a sinister evil plot over the inhabitants of the planet {Earth}.
The rabbit-masked youth then proceeded to raise its right hand up, as a wave of mysterious energy then began to steadily emanate from withinside its own body. It first started off as a simple ripple within the waters of deep space, but the following the next wave steadily emanated from the rabbit-masked youth's body and then rapidly grew in intensity, spreading far and wide, across the vast expanses of deep space of the Milky Way Galaxy.
It wasn't until the mysterious wave of magical energy has instead reached the strength, magnitude, and the intensity level of a Great Mega Tsunami. One that could easily wipe out the entirety of the planet {Earth}, and even extinguishing the hottest of flames of our red-yellow sun. It's kind of like pouring a large basin filled with water over a small marble and tennis ball, which is the planet {Earth} and our galaxy's only sun.
The mysterious wave of magical energy that is steadily released off from withinside the rabbit-masked youth's body is non-destructive, it's kind of like a massive unstoppable force of nature, as it steadily covers the vast expanses of the Milky Way Galaxy within a matter of seconds.
'The scanning procedure of the Milky Way Galaxy is now complete. Now beginning the loading procedure of the [World Integration Protocol] program...' The rabbit-masked youth thought so to itself.
It then raises its own right hand once again, but this time, an unfamiliar silvery-white light then surmises at the back of its own right hand. A silvery-white cybernetic backhand tattoo, a symbol and the insignia of a World Administrator. Someone who instead governs or manages a specified region or parts of the world in place of their World Creators.

The Universal Guidance System has successfully been integrated with the Milky Way Galaxy!
In accordance with the local myths and legends that are steadily originated from the planet {Earth}. The Universal Guidance System has instead chosen to rebrand itself and become the Akashic Records System!
World Cataclysmic Danger Level has been set to Level 04!
Dungeons of 1★ to 3★ ratings would then automatically begin to spawn across the world after the 72-hour grace period!
Animals, plants, humans, and other life forms would then began to evolve and possibly mutate whilst in the presence of mana, demonic energy, holy power, etc!
Connection with the {Neatherworld~(Hell)} and {Aetherworld~(Heaven)} has been temporarily blocked until the {Earth} is strong enough to withstand a planetary threat level of 7 or above!
1 billion out of 10 billion {Earth} Humans will then be selected at random to be Alpha Players! Alpha Players would then immediately be given a chance to enter the {Tower of Trials} to complete tasks in order to instead awaken their own unique Talents, Skills, Abilities, or Traits!
Whilst, the rest of the 9 billion {Earth} Humans would then automatically become Beta Players! Beta Players would be slightly at a bit of a disadvantage as they won't have access to the benefits and the rewards that are steadily handed out by the {Tower of Trials}, but the Akashic Records System would instead automatically allocate to them a random Class Profession and a piece of equipment that is related to their Class Profession!
1 billion {Earth} Humans has been randomly chosen by the Akashic Records System to become Beta Players! They are immediately sent to the {Tower of Trial} without post-haste to begin their trials in order to awaken their unique potential!
As rows of light blue virtual holographic displays interface screen panels had appeared in front of the rabbit-masked youth, whilst detailing the absolute progress and the procedure that lead to the absolute launch of the [World Integration Protocol] program.
"Now let us usher in the era of a new world. The end of the old world and the beginning of the new..." The rabbit-masked youth said so, as it then clenches its own right hand, with frightful intensity.
The silvery-white insignia of the World Administrator then began to glow intensely bright, as silvery-white rays of compressed magical energy is then released outwards in one great supernova. The silvery-white wave of light rays then immediately travels across the vast expanse of the Milky Way Galaxy and then the entirety of the planet {Earth} within a matter of seconds, as everything then instantaneously becomes black and white, colourless even, as the silvery-white light touches them.

Before everything eventually returns itself back to normal to the way its once was. Apart from the fact that roughly a tenth of the {Earth}'s entire Human population then immediately vanishes, gone in a ray of light, as their physical bodies and matter then devolve into particles of light.
Everyone that is upon this planet {Earth}, regardless of their age, gender, race, or species has indeed received the very same blue holographic notification screen from the Akashic Records System, thereby signalling the end of the world and the beginning of a new era.

Tac! Tac! Tac...
The sounds of Albert Lee's electronic mechanical keyboard typing seem to filter out the empty silence of his bedroom.
Eyes glued to the computer monitor screen of his, like a deadpan zombie. Someone who has been stuck withinside his room for days, and has yet to even take a single step or foot outside; and even if he did head outside, it's only for the just occasion of buying himself food, daily basic necessaries, and accepting delivery postages towards his home, etc.
With heavy rock genre music being loudly played out from his pair of headphones, as he then continues to finish typing up the latest chapter draft of his own Webnovel.
'There I've just recently finished writing up the latest draft of the upcoming chapter for my own Webnovel. And now, I just need to go ahead and copy & paste it into Grammarly to have it grammar spell-checked by the program, before uploading it upon Webnovel and RoyalRoadL.' Albert Lee thought so to himself, as he then finishes typing upon his own computer.
Afterwards, Albert Lee then unlatches his pair of headphones off of his own head, and then steadily places them to rest upon his own neck. In which, he then reaches his left hand out to the side and then opens the door to his mini fridge, and takes out a single can of cherry-flavoured Pepsi Max fizzy drink.
He then pops the tab off of the cherry-flavoured Pepsi Max can, in which the trapped carbonated air that which is not fully mixed within the cold beverage is then released all in go, thereby causing a slight Psshhh! sound.
It didn't take long for he to then bring the cherry-flavoured Pepsi Max cold beverage can up to his mouth, and he then took a quick sip out of the cherry-flavoured Pepsi Max cold beverage, as the sweetness of the cold carbonated beverage then touches his own tongue and then tinges it with a somewhat tingling bubbling sensation.
"Ahh..." Albert Lee then made some slight of sound, with his mouth, after satisfyingly drinking the cold carbonated cherry-flavoured Pepsi Max that he was currently holding withinside his hand.
'Now that's the life.' Albert Lee thought so to himself.
It was then that something quite incongruous, something that deviates from the social norm, had indeed happened. As a blinding white-silvery light then immediately passed by him, with everything immediately beginning to start to lose colour, having turned greyish-black and white, as the silvery-white light steadily touches them.
'What the...' Albert Lee was momentarily at a loss for words, as he then thought that his mind was steadily playing tricks on him.
'Thank god. Have I not already swallowed the contents of the Pepsi drink? I would have surely spat it all out, due to shock. It would honestly be a waste of a good Pepsi.' He thought.
After a couple of seconds has passed, with there being no visible changes in sight, Albert Lee is then visibly shocked.
As he then thought of something to himself, 'Have I suddenly developed colour blindness? Did drinking this cherry Pepsi Max drink cause me to go colour-blind?'
Without warning, or even an ounce of premonition beforehand, except for the sudden flash of silvery-white light. A virtual blue holographic display interface panel then later appeared in front of him, which greatly shocked him, but that was surprisingly not the most surprising thing to ever happen to him, but what happens next does
Amongst the entire 10 billion {Earth} Humans of this planet! You have been selected as the 1 in a billion people chosen by the Akashic Records System to become Beta Players! You will then automatically be transferred to the {Tower of Trials} to therefore begin the First Floor Trial in 30 seconds! In 72 hours {Earth} will then immediately become a widespread battlefield as monsters, from 1★ to 3★ dungeons, will be able to escape or leave their respective dungeons! * * * * *
00:00:29
"Eh?" Albert Lee was surprisingly at a loss for words, as he could not help it but make some weird sounds with his mouth.
'Have I been reading too many manhwa and mangas that I'm literally starting to hallucinate and seeing blue screens?' He thought so to himself.
Immediately, afterwards, after the countdown timer has officially started. A miniature chibi, the size of a couple of inches, depicting an animal kemono girl with fox ears and a tail, then pops out from the blue screen, appearing in front of him.
{"Surprise!"} The fox girl kemono chibi then cries out, as she then makes the anime cat pose with her hands for a surprising forward entrance.
'Am I really hallucinating? Am I high on caffeine? I have been steadily drinking a lot of energy drinks lately, and also staying up all night to even finish writing up drafts of stock chapters for my own Webnovel series.' He thought so to himself, starting to question his own sanity, whether whatever that he is currently seeing is real or not.
Or maybe just a fragment of his own imagination, steadily conjured up by his mind, due to a lack of sleep, and his sleep-deprived mind being overdosed upon caffeine.
Almost as if the fox girl anime kemono chibi could literally read Albert Lee's mind and his own thoughts, she said this. {"And, no! You are really not hallucinating right now. This is actually really happening in real life. Although, the vast majority of the world is currently within suspended animation right now. Only the 1 billion chosen people are not affected, as they would then immediately be to the {Tower of Trials} within half a minute."}
"So this is actually real, huh?" Albert Lee asked himself a rhetorical question despite already knowing the answers towards his question.
The fox girl anime kemono chibi then responded with a "Uhuh," whilst nodding her own head in confirmation.
'I see...' Albert Lee thought so to himself, as he then took a quick sip of his cherry-flavoured Pepsi Max cold beverage that he is currently holding, whilst steadily watching the countdown timer reach zero till for when he would then immediately be transferred to the {Tower of Trials}.
00:00:17...
00:00:11...
00:00:04...
00:00:01...
00:00:00
And it take long for the countdown timer to actually reach zero, but when it did, a tremendous amount of white light is then suddenly released outwards. All in one go, momentarily blinded him, as it then causes Albert Lee's pair of eyes to then shut closed in response to the intensely bright light.
For a measly couple of seconds, when the intensely bright light had momentarily blinded him. He could instinctively felt that something was actually wrong, but he couldn't just put his own hands on it right now. It was just pure intuition.
Within a matter of seconds, so when the intensely bright ray of light had actually struck his own body. It had completely vaporised Albert Lee's own physical body, and reducing them down to nothing more than mere measly particles of white light. The experience was quite mortifying, it's kind of like experiencing an electric shock from a defibrillator but times a hundred or a thousand.
Albert Lee could instinctively feel the electric shock fastly coursing throughout his veins, and it quickly overwhelmed him. As his five senses then immediately comes to a halt, numb to the senses, having been quickly overpowered by all of the pain receptors withinside his body, but for some unknown reason, by an unknown uncontrollable force, Albert Lee's mind was indeed kept intact, widely awake, and conscious during the whole spatial transfer.
The discolouration that was steadily caused by the wave of silvery-white light then immediately vanishes, alongside the 1 billion chosen Beta Players that disappeared without a trace, as time on {Earth} then steadily began to return back to normal.
Resuming the inevitable countdown timer for when the Apocalypse will begin, which is in three days.
