2 A New World Part 1

"As we speak you can see the trucks arriving with evacuees here, this Stadium has been transformed into a relief camp for those affected in yesterday's event."

"Now we are here at the scene where yesterday's event took place. As you can just see here the whole area has been destroyed and scientists from all over the world are now arriving here, for what they are now calling the dimensional crack"

"If we just ask our team to turn the camera that way, as of now we are bringing to you the exclusive feed from our team who are right now out on a helicopter. Right now you can see right there half of the city has been completely destroyed, as you can see if we zoom in a bit there, the still Standing part of the city is only divided by a street from the devastated one.

where one side is still standing and the other side of the street is completely in ruins.

Oh, let's zoom in on that as you can see the National Disaster Relief Force has just arrived here now to move the carcass of the boss level monster from yesterday."

"We would show you the footage once again as it went viral on the internet. This is the footage of the unknown person falling into the mouth of the monster before the monster exploded. As you can see this footage was recorded from a CCTV camera which got destroyed in the explosion.

"We have experts with us right here in our studio, "Welcome to our studio, Dr. Yong Do Yun."

"Ah Thank you for having me here."

"Dr. Yong, what is this thing we are calling dimensional crack? What was that voice we heard yesterday? And as we know how many of those who were present in the area at the time of the incident woke up to special powers, which they are calling a reward from the system. What is this system they are talking about?

"Well, As of now we don't know what is happening, but one thing is sure from all the things we have observed since yesterday. To answer all your questions I would like to start by shedding light on our current theory of what this system is...

So, everyone can understand. I would try to explain this simply as possible. In our theory, This system is the core of this universe or the code which gives out instructions on which this universe functions, it's something that makes decisions or perhaps follows a set of rules. It is of course something that is capable of reasoning and is extremely intelligent.

Of course, if this theory is true then a lot of questions arise, like did it exist from the beginning of the universe? Did it interfere before? If not, why is it interfering in the world now? Right now, we simply can't explain and there are a lot of speculations.

As for the dimension breaks, we don't know yet. It could be a parallel world or some kinda bug or virus in the system. What we have seen in the incident that happened yesterday was that it enacted a barrier in the area where the dimension crack took place which prevented things from getting out of the area, it also prevented people inside the barrier from fleeing which also became the reason for such a high death toll, since people couldn't flee. Also so far only the people who were inside the barrier and were bestowed with rewards have awakened powers.

For those who were bestowed with the reward, they can now see a status panel when they close their eyes, as many of them have reported. It's just like a video game.

I think, We all already heard yesterday that something will happen again in 100 days. we must prepare from now we only have 99 more days left"

The LED signage in the tall building broadcasting news from multiple channels got cut off with the emergency message with all the locations and numbers for evacuation and important guidelines from the administration.

"We request everyone to follow the guidelines of the disaster manual and pack only what is essential. Everyone should keep a bag ready with important documents, IDs, a torch, and important medications. Pack only what is necessary. Call number XXX-XX-XXXX for any help and information and follow your local administration's instructions"

Being broadcasted via the Emergency Warning System.

I sat in an ambulance parked next to the rubbles of a collapsed building. Getting my injuries tended.

'Ding...Ding...Ding' Phones started to buzz together.

"Oh, the signal is restored"

Said the Nurse sitting beside me

"We are coming live to you from where the diet members and leaders of the nations would soon arrive to pay their respect to those who have died yesterday"

The girl kept watching as many gathered around her to watch as well.

"Now the President will make a speech. Here he is"

"We are at a time of great crisis right now…." the speech went on but I was drawn out of it by the sound of the emergency broadcast system, the ambulance sirens, and the sound of people crying.

I stood outside the ambulance looking around me, the bodies being moved, the rubbles being cleared, people still searching for people under the collapsed building.

"What's your name?

The girl in an orange vest with the clipboard in her hand asked me.

"Meonjeo"

She stared at me confused.

"Kim Meonjeo"
