Stage 1: Eliminating the weak.

....

After being interrupted by a loud sound that sounded like a bell notification, I stopped whatever I was doing and waited for what was to come because I had reason to believe that whatever was coming was related to the events that were taking place.

The bell-like sound faded away slowly after a few seconds as new notifications began to appear on the panel in front of me.

[Planet Spe has been successfully initiated into the Primordial Chronicles],

[The Primordial Chronicles have successfully initiated all species on Spe],

[All species on planet Spe can open and use the Primordial Chronicles, but only those who are qualified are allowed to keep it],

[Beginning Stage One of Planet Spe Evolution Phrase],

[Stage 1: Eliminating the Weak],

My reaction was normal at first when I saw the messages in the blue panel, but when I read the last message at the end in red, an indescribable feeling welled up inside of me.

I didn't even have time to consider what the Primordial chronicles meant when it said it would eliminate the weak when a strange somewhat familiar phenomenon appeared again.

The sky turned black as lightning flashed continuously in the dark skies.

The indescribable sensation I had in my chest increased as the lightning alternated between being soft and loud at times.

Looking at the familiar black sky I had previously seen before falling unconscious, I knew what I had seen before, particularly the golden words in the sky at the time, was not a dream.

To make things worst, it began to rain, adding to the strange eerie atmosphere. My clothes and Anna's clothes became wet.

'Thank God it's the weekend, so I'm not wearing my school uniform,' I thought, but then I remembered that the brief 'rest' I thought I had could have been me sleeping, or that everyone who saw that black sky that day asleep for three years.

Of course, I didn't tell Anna because I didn't want to stress myself out by explaining more.

Speaking of Anna, she didn't shout but clung closer to my side, perhaps thinking she'd feel safer with my tall for my age physique, but all she was doing in all honesty was making me feel her skin because her cloth was revealing.

'Perhaps Anna should be older than she looks, and when something like this happens, I should be feeling 'hot,' right? 'I wonder how that feels, too,' I thought as I was about to tell Anna about what had just happened when something caught my attention in the corner.

Looking at the appearance of a monster that was definitely not a member of the normal animal kingdom, the strange feeling I had deepened as I quickly understood what the Primordial Chronicles meant when it said 'Eliminating the weak,' so I subconsciously grabbed Anna and ran with everything I had.

As I dragged Anna behind me and ran as quickly as I could, I recalled what I had seen when I first glanced at the 'monster,' which in no way qualified as an animal.

[Asmodeus Serpent Level 3],

Similar to how the Primordial Chronicle panel appears, except this panel is shaped in the form of words on top of the monster's head, I realized that whatever is happening now is beyond my comprehension.

Something big was clearly going on.

And, according to the Primordial Chronicles, whatever is happening now affects the entire planet. That's the entire world!

The Asmodeus serpent was stunned for a moment as a result of our sudden dash because it was clear from the position I saw that the monster was aiming to land a sneak attack on us.

Fortunately, my body reacted on its own as I followed quickly after.

Dragging Anna along was a subconscious act, but since I was already dragging her, I continued.

The monster only reacted after a while.

Fortunately, we were already close to a structure that would let us turn and enter a narrow road, which might at least cause the Asmodeus serpent to slow down due to its large body and the tight space.

That is if we can get to the building before turning into a delicious dinner.

When we were already within the Asmodeus serpent's range of attack, the monster raised its neck and struck.

Fortunately, it was at that precise moment that I dragged Anna into my arms and quickly turned to the other side of a wall, allowing the Asmodeus serpent to miss its target and move forward slightly due to the speed with which it intended to attack us.

I dragged Anna, who was crying and holding back her tears with what I assumed was a fearful expression on her face, without wasting time or hesitating.

She may have been trying to restrain herself from making a scene, which is fortunate for me because if she had, I would have had to leave her right away because my body's subconscious action was what caused me to drag her in the first place.

Running a little further, I made another turn, entering the narrow space I had planned to enter before, and thankfully, the road was still there.

If I had been like the others who had their locations switched, I would have been in a really bad situation because I had no other ideas of how to escape from the monster.

As I dragged Anna forward, I looked at the end of the narrow road, which had a wall and a door in the middle.

And, to my luck, the door was open.

'It's funny how the first thing that helped me in this new world was a primitive structure,' I reflected.

I've always been one to condemn the technologies of the past; while I respect them, I was uncomfortable with how simple and backward they are, preferring the advanced technology of today.

But, ever since that phenomenon occurred, even ordinary light poles on the streets that run on electricity have not lit up; imagine how advanced technology that requires more power would be? They will be more than just dead.

They will be useless.

Fortunately for me, the owner of the building I'm about to enter enjoys antique technology.

Though the door was made with old technology, it was made with advanced materials and precious metals.

All I can hope for now is that the door will be able to hold the Asmodeus serpent long enough for me to find a way out of this situation.

I don't fear death because I can't feel fear, but that doesn't mean I want to die when I can just live.
