The world's current situation.

After three hours of frantic flight, Isaac lands on the top of a tower with his eyebrows contracted.

Throughout the journey, he had only taken a ten-minute break to restore his stamina points.

"It's strange; even if I can't say exactly how many KM I've traveled, it's at least two hundred. But I still haven't met human beings." He whispers while looking under the tower with doubtful eyes.

Seeing the moss on buildings and plants in the middle of nowhere, he could guess that many months had passed since he had vanished.

"System, how long has it been since the beginning?"

[...]

"Sigh, this bastard refuses to answer me since my previous conversation with it; I don't know if it's sore against me or if it simply doesn't have the right to tell me." Isaac grinds his teeth in frustration.

But his attention was caught up by a creature lying under the tower that he stood at the top.

[Cerberus's minion (Lvl20)]

[HP: 18/25]

A wounded black bulldog was lying under the tower with a hemorrhagic body.

But it wasn't an ordinary bulldog, it had two long tusks like those of the dogs of hell, a thick and strangely bristling fur; not to mention its huge size for a dog.

Isaac only raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the dog the system called "Cerberus's minion"; he was not surprised to see such a strange animal.

"Another evolved animal; what's finally happening here? I had killed three flying creatures that were evolved birds. Do animals evolve too?" He whispers to himself.

"I bet that this anomaly has something to do with the system that had said...

He stops in the mid-sentence and consults the first notifications he had received in his notification history.

[The gods have come down into the world.]

[The towers of the gods appeared on the world map. The world map has been modified.]

[The planet has changed its name, nature, and era!]

Seeing these notifications, he frowns. "Yes, it's because of these notifications. The planet has changed its name, nature, and era; what did the system mean when talking about that?" When he whispered this question, the system answered; something unexpected for him, since the system hadn't answered any of his questions since their last exchanges concerning the change of his class.

[The planet no longer bears its old name. Experimentation planet N•2245, that's its name.]

[Because of the energy that has merged with the matter of the planet, and the fusion of magical energy with its atmosphere, its nature and constitution have been modified.]

[It belongs to the new era; the evolution and gods' era.]

"Tss~, only bullshit." He slams his tongue with a scornful smile.

[...]

"Finally, if I understood correctly, all these bullshits had the consequence of making all this chaos appear. As for the evolution of animals, it's probably due to the fusion of magical energy with the atmosphere of our planet; is that it?"

[That's not all, but it's not false.]

"...I see. In this case, does this mean that we can put all this mess in order?"

[...]

He frowns when he sees the usual silence of the system.

"Okay, no problem if you don't wanna answer me. But tell me at least how should I... Huh!?"

He suddenly stops by noticing a silhouette watching the bulldog; like a predator watching for its prey.

'Oh!? What the fuck is that?' Isaac whispers in his mind as if he doubted what he was seeing now.

[Player: Jane (Lvl 35)]

[HP: 38/40]

[IP: 14]

'How is that possible!?' He could no longer hide his surprise when he saw the girl, dressed in clothes that were familiar to him.

She was dressed in a full dark blue body sleeve, gloves, and long boots of the same color.

Unlike Isaac, her outfit was anything but medieval, but more modern than the earth could dream of creating it; even in the most modern and futuristic research centers.

Her face was not visible because of the "Stars Wars" helmet she wore and which hid her entire head, including her hair.

Isaac could guess her gender only because of her feminine curves which were valorized by her tight high-tech outfit.

'She's not a God-like Online player!' He immediately concludes with his brain in a constant bug.

At the same time, the injured bulldog also seemed to have noticed the guest approaching it.

It growls towards the girl who had a high-tech gun hanging on her thigh and a small stick on her waist. As her main weapon, she had a machine gun that she pointed at the Bulldog.

'I now understand why I found the wounds of this dog strange. I thought it had been perforated by a spear, but apparently, it wasn't the case; its wounds were caused by a fucking bullets!' Isaac's heart beat fiercely in his chest like a drum when he saw all his old predictions collapse in front of him.

At the same time, the bulldog roared with indignation followed by a blood-red aura that makes it more intimidating than before.

The girl also positions herself on her knees and shoots laser bullet blasts toward her target!

The bulldog, despite its body being in a fishing net because of the holes, avoids all the girl's bullets and spits a fireball toward the girl.

The latter has not tried to dodge her prey's attack; she throws her weapon aside and her fingers quickly tap on the watch on her wrist at a speed worthy of a hacker.

At the same time, a half-blue circle in the shape of a shield manifests itself in front of her.

-Bang!

The bulldog's magic attack fell fiercely on her shield before evaporating in a spark from the flames.

Seeing this, the bulldog throws other fireballs that were intercepted by the girl's shield.

'It's bad, this dog reacts like the hell dogs in the dungeons; once injured, they switch to berserk mode, and their stats double within five minutes.' Isaac mutters under his tongue when he saw the girl's shield gradually disappear because of the bulldog's successive fireballs.

As he had anticipated, the dog's umpteenth attack destroys the girl's shield!

And before she reacts in time, her enemy zooms off her at a breathtaking speed.

Seeing this, Isaac, not ready to let his first source of intelligence die, dives toward them with a long black sword.

[Knight's sword (Intermediate).]

[Durability: 99/100.]

The sword was none other than the weapon he obtained by opening the random (intermediate) box of weapons he had as a reward; for surviving the tutorial.

But before he reaches the ground, the girl barred the bulldog's claw with a laser sword and takes off her pistol on her thigh!

-BANG! BANG! BANG!...BANG!!

She unloads all its bullets off the dog's belly!

But the dog, despite being condemned to die, uses its last strength and crunches the girl's shoulder with its chainsaw fangs!

-Ackh!!

The girl's outfit armor couldn't resist the bulldog's sharp fangs which sends her to waltz toward the pillar of the nearby tower!

-B00M!

The tower trembles slightly with a crater created by the girl's body!

At the same time, Isaac lands between the girl and the bulldog whom he decapitates with a single movement.

[You defeated the minion of Cerberus.]

[+80Xp]

He ignores notifications and his body flashes before appearing in front of the girl.

[Player: Jane (Lvl 35)]

[HP: 21/40]

[IP: 14]

"Sigh, I arrived on time." He sighs with relief when he took the girl out under the rubble.

"But...even if her wound isn't fatal, if this dog is like Cerberus's minions in the game...

Before he finished his sentence, another notification appeared in front of him.

[She's affected by Cerberus's poison; she'll eventually die if she doesn't treat herself in the next sixty minutes.]

"...I suspected it," Isaac mutters under his tongue.

He puts the girl's head on his lap and takes out a healing elixir from his inventory.

But he soon faced another major challenge; how to help her drink the potion if she has her full-face helmet?

He then knocks on her blue hamlet. "Hey, take off your hamlet and drink this if you don't want to die by poison." He speaks in an alarming tone when he sees the girl twisting in pain.

But the latter was overwhelmed by pain to hear his words.

'The effect will be less effective and more painful, but it will help her stabilize at least.' Seeing that she didn't hear him, Isaac slams his tongue in frustration and pours the contents of the flacon on the girl's wound.

"Arghhh!!" The girl twists and screams in pain from the moment Isaac emptied all the bluish liquid from the bottle on her shoulder!

"Bear the pain, it's for your good." He holds Jane's hands firmly to prevent her from shaking too much.

But the agonizing pain lasted only a brief moment before her wound began to close on its own.

Seeing this, Isaac moves away from her. 'Distrust is the mother of safety; even if I've just saved her, there's no guarantee that she won't attack me. I see that she also killed other players.' He mumbles while taking a look at her impact points, which were 14.

'Finally, to prevent her from attacking me, I might be better off increasing my level by a tiny bit; if she sees my current level of ten, she'll think I'm easy prey.' With this conclusion, he increases his dummy level by the ticket of his ring.

[Player: Isaac (Level 35)]

At the same time, he used his transformist skill to regain his human appearance.

His horns gradually shrunk before disappearing in his temples; his tail and wings followed the same processes.

In five seconds, he became an ordinary human again; but more beautiful than his former him.

His curly black hair shone like black silks and his sapphire blue eyes gave him a whimsical charm. All his appearance would earn him the title of the most beautiful man's incarnation in the world.

'It's strange, she's level 35 but she didn't make the weight against such a weak monster. I really need to know more about the current situation.'

He sits five meters from Jane and waits for her to finish regenerating.
