Chapter 4

*thud*

The sound of a strawberry milk box dropping and spilling reverberated around the mostly empty scenery.

And the cause is this article.

Earth's Greatest Hero: "The Earth Is A Lost Cause."

After a decade of trials and tribulations, humanity has finally reached the pinnacle and the end of their Quests. The newborn constellation <Humanity's Brightest Star> says in an interview: "Earth is a lost cause, those with strength will ascend with me to find a new home for humanity."

———

—That cowardly bastard.

He asked to particularly no one.

—Those with strength? What about the weak??

His face contorted with anger as he punched the panel. Obviously his hand just went through.

"Your strength, frightens me."

He still remember the words left by his former best friend.

"We have finally reached the peak. I'm sorry, my friend. But there can only be one star."

The last words he heard as the cold iron pierced his body.

He was angry. Fuming because he has so many questions that can't be answered easily.

—I'm gonna kill that bastard. Just you wait.

The article mentioned nothing about what happened to the others.

The others who decided not to challenge the tower. The others who were not chosen by any constellations. And the others who were not strong enough.

Shram, who is now calm and sipping another box of strawberry milk pondered.

—That's right, the stars can watch.

Realizing something, he immediately opened the system and clicked on an app with an eye logo. Apparently this is the app that the constellations use to watch the mortal realm.

He already saw this app earlier but he didn't bother with in since he has no reason to, he just wanna figure out how the browser work.

Getting back. He opened the app and he was shocked by the plethora of ongoing streams.

The interface of the app is somewhat similar with how streaming platforms work before the apocalypse came. The major difference is that the viewers now has a lot of control.

He skipped through the other streams and just opened the search bar.

After putting in the filters and scrolling for a while, the planet earth came out.

The title and information of the stream is as written below:

———

Planet Earth, Home to more than 8 Billion inhabitants. [Completed]

Tags: Modern, Urban, Completed

Current Viewers: 1 (you)

Shram froze at what he saw.

A decade worth of suffering, countless deaths and misery.

His family are dead, his close friends are dead, even his lover is dead. He lost every meaning of his life, yet he still continued to live. Just for what, just for the constellations to treat his life as a show?

He was speechless, seeing how earth as treated as a form of media.

—Motherfuckers even have the tags and everything on it.

He somewhat expected a bit of this seeing how the interface of the app worked. But still, seeing his own planet getting treated as a media was a whole new level of disrespect.

But even so, he did his best not to be disheartened because he has another reason as to why he's opening the stream. It's to spectate every nook and cranny of earth to see if there's any sign of human or even animal life left.

Of course searching the whole earth just by himself is an undoubtedly difficult task, that's why he's using the scan feature.

Clicking the obvious button, he selected the most basic filter which is just 'alive' and proceeded with scanning.

And with that he started to look for anyone that's alive on the ruins of earth.
