The emptiness that surrounds

Annoyed complaints continued to haunt my mind, leaving me unable to say anything and sitting restlessly near the old tree of the city of Arzethenon, suddenly a letter floated in front of me.

Hah? What's this? Love letter? ... How could it be ....

I took it and opened it. It's like a post office letter, I don't understand why this game looks like it does in my world. It's just a game, right?

Yes of course it might be different because they just thought of a reference and put it in this game. This is of course a normal thing, isn't it?

Maybe this doesn't need to be discussed.

I didn't care if it was true, I took out the white paper and the photo kept in the letter.

"Eh? Limited event? Astre Hezia Zenovoid, the 3-headed king of the absolute void of the universe will soon rise. Defeat him and get a special prize if you're lucky!"

I don't read unimportant notifications that make me have to read them until the end. The feeling of laziness about reading has been ingrained and ingrained in my soul. Maybe this sounds stupid, but here I am.

"This photo …? Is this the boss's photo?"

I looked at the photo, a medium sized photo. Maybe 5x4 or vice versa.

3 Kings of Absolute Void. Hmmmm... this looks like King Ghidorah, huh?

He has black skin and has 3 dragon heads with different colored eyes. The 3 scary eyes shine brightly and look very clear and fierce in the photo. A boss with the existence of higher living creatures than the previous bosses in this world.

"Hmmmm ... It looks interesting ... But, why is there only one prize? Is this because of a limited event that is no longer being held? ... I don't understand, I have to try it" I answered confidently starting to get up again to take the prize.

"Yeah, although I still can't forget that annoying boss."

The feeling of annoyance can't just disappear in my memory because I can still remember it clearly which always makes me hate it.

I immediately signed the letter to take part in the limited event. And immediately I was moved to a designated place to fight him.

The world floated in the sky of endless black clouds, the Astral Realm.

The blue light teleportation circle made all the players in the city of Arzethenon disappear because they took part in taking part in a limited event.

.

.

The blue light brings all the players from various servers.

I arrived, it made me a little goosebumps to see the situation of this place. A vast, endless realm, this is not land, this is a large flat rock that hovers above the sky and drifts with thick clouds of mist that color the view of the equatorial sky. It's like a large arena with flat, gray stone steps.

"Hmmmm ... I see. Looks like this will be a battle between everyone who wants to get him. Well, I'll try to beat him."

Everyone is ready in their respective positions along with their group members.

Don't ask with whom, because now I'm always alone. I had absolutely no group members when so many people took them from me.

"I will try my best to get it."

I walked a few steps forward.

The notification system is displayed large in the sky. There are 20 seconds left to appear.

Countdown ....

20,19,18,17 ....

No matter what, I have to get that gift.

Time has run out.

Instantly black clouds and dark purple lightning appeared, rumbling to cover the entire sky with a loud and terrifying boom.

The ground and ceiling shook violently ….

"….?!"

Spiny bones suddenly emerged from the surface of the gray rock ground that rose into the sky to form a giant dome.

The air wave condensed, causing all the players who felt it to experience extreme worry and panic, and the black clouds spun into a huge vortex in the sky with a thunderous sound.

We've been locked in with giant bone spikes that reach into the sky from all sides.

Its impending presence instantly makes other players die before seeing its appearance.

A terrifying ferocious roar sounded behind the vortex.

"Grraaahhhhhh ...!!!!"

Suddenly ....

They were all hit by a forced deletion virus.

".... Ahhh ... Ahhhh ...."

"Eh ...? What happened to my body? Wait ... Wait!!"

One by one players level 70 and below were forcibly expelled.

"What? Why did they suddenly disappear into grains of sand?" Said a female adventurer wearing yellow lightning dragon armor, very confused.

Status

Name : Angelin

Level : 87

Skills : Lightning dragon destroyer that can penetrate anything.

Class : Spear

"Is it some kind of virus?" Said a short, innocent and cute woman wearing a witch hat, staring in surprise when she saw him.

Status

Name : Ziana

Level : 88

Skills : High level magic creation

Class : Wizard

"What's with this boss? It doesn't make any sense at all." Said a man wearing red knight armor in disbelief when he saw it.

Status

Name : Voltraz

Level : 86

Skills : A heavenly hero's sword that can cut anything

Other adventurers who saw them felt anxious and confused and asked what happened when they suddenly disappeared.

Low level players died and were immediately returned to the city of Arzethenon, leaving behind some people with high level status (80 and above).

"What kind of power is this? Why did everyone suddenly disappear?"

I looked around me, everyone suddenly disappeared into grains of sand.

Their first appearance of death was suddenly broken like being eaten by a deadly virus and disappeared into grains of sand.

It seemed like they were all forcibly removed from the event without considering anything that could enable them to stay in the arena.

"Sighh ... As I thought, he's a boss who shouldn't be here."

Fly out of the sky.

He flew majestically down from the sky and landed proudly in front of all the players waiting for him.

The 'Boss' immediately stamped his feet and roared in a loud voice.

"Gaohhhhhhh ....!!!"

The endless vast realm shook violently ….

The gusts of wind from its three mouths caused the thorny bones above it to easily shatter, and suddenly the thorny bones fell from the sky, causing disaster for the players who couldn't avoid them.

Even the size of the bones is not comparable to a car, instead it is more like an apartment that fell from the sky and hit a crowd of ants.

Sigh ....

I saw it and dodged quickly.

All the players who saw it felt anxious and panicked to avoid the pile of thorny bones falling from the sky. Players who have movement speeds exceeding the speed of light will greatly benefit.

Some players looked at it with resignation, others tried to avoid it with normal movement speed like normal humans.

There were those who succeeded, and there were also those who were too late and died because they were crushed or impaled by bone fragments.

"Sigh … Why is this game preparing an unreasonable boss like him? Is this a mistake?" I answered annoyed when I saw him.

Worry haunts my mind. I saw its shape like a giant mountain of death which made me feel desperate to get the prize.

"It's hard to believe ... What is the reason for this game maker to give a crazy event challenge like this? ... Tch, I don't understand. We'll see!"

But, I won't let that fear take over everything. I don't care if this ends quickly. I will definitely win it.

Then, 3 heads bloom upwards with different colored eyes. Red, purple and blue shine brightly.

"Gaaoohhhhhh .....!!!"

Roars loudly as he spreads his wings, blowing strong winds that destroy everything around him.

Its entire body was covered in large scales that were as hard as absolute steel, as well as a large purple crystal attached to its chest.

The 'boss' immediately emits a purple negative aura which causes players to continue to slowly fall to death (Debuff).

"I've prepared everything, I don't care how strong this boss is. I'll definitely defeat him!"

Suddenly, I realized something and was shocked after seeing other players falling again, as well as the pending system telling me.

(Warning!)

(The enemy's death aura has been activated. The death debuff effect cannot be removed. Do you want to remove the death debuff effect with Historia's absolute holy water?)

"What? He did it again?"

Hah ... How could I do that. I don't care about that, I will try without using any drugs.

"Sigh ... It's not a big deal, it won't happen ... I will never disappoint myself who is already in first place in the entire server." I answered while grinning happily.

Because now I'm not dead. So it's all meaningless to me who can still fight it.

"Come on ... Astron Trinity!!"

Instantly 2 of my favorite weapons appeared in both of my hands while crossing them.

A weapon with infinite void bullets. 1 bullet shot that can erase the existence of anything easily. The law of existence was just a small stone when it was in front of him. This is still nothing compared to the highest level the weapon has (Level 12).

While grinning, passion with a burning soul has enveloped my soul. Makes me believe that I will get the prize easily.

Everyone rushed to attack him simultaneously with a burning desire to defeat him.

"Haaaaaahh ....!!!"

"Ikuzo"

.

.

*Desing Desing!*

Continuous sword swing attacks from the players.

*Whoooooshh! Whoooooshh!*

Consecutive magic attacks with spectacular explosions looked extremely beautiful.

*Bang Bang!*

2 shots (Void Bullet) which makes the dragon a little sick.

"Meteorite Blast!"

Shinka continued to launch meteor fireball attacks.

The sound of swords continued to clash with steel scales clashing violently. The meteor's fireball explosion left him lightly injured. They had all used up all their strength, they could only fight like fools who didn't think about the risks. They didn't care and confronted openly under his feet.

"Tch … So strong!"

"Thunder Strike!"

Angelin leapt into the air and struck his chest with yellow lightning that burned fiercely, trying to scratch his thick, steel-like scales that could never be penetrated.

"Gilliam Phantom!"

Ziana released a red plasma sun destruction attack from her magic book.

Voltraz ran fast, his face filled with confidence and the desire to target the front of his right leg from below.

"Now it's my turn! Huricane Blade!"

Voltraz swung his sword very quickly, the yellow lightning that spread out raged trying to cut his leg which was still standing mighty.

But that's absolutely impossible.

"....?!"

"What?!"

Nothing happened. Everything seemed fake, none of the attacks from the three of them could harm him.

"Impossible! What kind of defense is this?!"

So ....

3 void bullets hit one of its heads which made the dragon in pain. Making him go berserk causes other players under his feet to be trampled very deliciously.

"Graaahhhhhhhhhh ...."

The three of them looked at me.

"Who's he?"

"Do not tell ...?"

"Yes. There's no mistaking it."

".... The strongest player to occupy the throne first ...."

".... Highest ranking of the entire server ...."

".... Victory between invincible players ... Demon King of the Void ... Shinka Rainmaru!"

Grinning.

I don't care.

Responding to it would just be a waste of time.

All the bullets from my gun that hit it caused the dragon to suffer wounds that drained its Heal Points drastically.

"There's no other choice, I have to use it."

All the energy has accumulated a lot in my body.

Here he is.

This is the last chance.

The dragon definitely wouldn't recover its remaining healing points quickly. The last chance that makes me sure I can beat him.

"I won't waste this opportunity."

I fly into the sky using (Vassal) magic and aim 1 of my Astron Trinity weapons at the sky.

I am ready to launch the strongest attack.

Yes, maybe I am the hero who will get praise at the last moment. This is my strongest attack.

"I will end it ... The endless majestic power that can destroy any law without thinking about how powerful your existence is ... Come ... Helvias!!" I answered arrogantly making the dragon look at him.

The ceiling shook violently, purple lightning flashed.

The ceiling began to turn into purple clouds, creating a black hole, a vortex of nothingness from the equatorial sky slowly expanded to consume everything.

Makes all the players who see it feel deep fear and anxiety.

"No way ... Is that it?"

"Is it possible ....?"

Everyone looked at him in disbelief.

I'll end it.

"Accept—"

Suddenly, a system warning sound appeared before all the players.

(Congratulations you succeeded)

(Time has run out)

(00 : 00)

An unexpected event embarrassed me, the boss suddenly flew and entered his black portal.

Everything disappeared and was replaced by a bright blue sky like the world in general.

I couldn't help but wonder after seeing it, I didn't expect that I would become a fake hero to everyone who expected me to be.

My vortex of emptiness slowly disappeared along with the disappointment I now felt.

Annoying!

But, everyone suddenly looked happy after the boss left.

What does it mean? I don't believe that this is all just stupidity that I feel because I don't know about it.

"Eh? What happened? Why do they look happy?"

I glanced at the 2 adventurers, 1 man and 1 woman who were talking.

"Finally … I didn't expect to survive until time ran out, I hope I can get it."

I heard it.

"Time ...?"

I seem to be starting to remember something.

"That's right. I thought everyone would have a hard time fighting him. However, that wasn't the case because many top players entered this event. Luckily, this is an event that only has a time limit." The answer was very happy and beaming.

"Time …? Uh… don't tell me?"

It's true, I'm stupid when it comes to things like this.

Yes. I remember it, that's when I opened and read the letter. The stupidity of not reading it to the end is a big mistake in reading. I thought, this would be an experience that would make me understand more about reading things.

Reading a scene that makes you feel good will not make you understand what happened before when the story actually begins.

My understanding of reading looks really stupid.

"Yeah. I didn't expect him to come to this event ... Let's go back."

They exited and teleported back to Arzethenon city.

All the players disappeared one by one, leaving me alone in that place.

Suddenly a letter floated before my sight.

Sigh. " .... What's this?"

It looks like this is an announcement for the prize winners.

Congratulations! To the player named Shinka, you have received a special Astre Hezia Zenovoid Box prize obtained from a limited event because you have completed the specified time challenge and have the largest attack contribution when defeating it.

I really regret not reading the event notification to the end. Sighing with regret. Hahhhhhhhhhhhh ....

"Don't ever read it to the end, because that will make you embarrassed and regretful because you don't know what will happen next."

Yes. But I don't care, because the gift is already mine.

Ehehehhee ....

Stretch your whole body. This made me a little tired and wanted to go home.

"Yosh, time to go out ... I think my stomach is starting to get hungry and hurts in that world."

I managed to get it, the menu panel appeared to the right of my eyes. Swipe down and look for the logout menu button to exit.

Click!

(Are you sure you want to go?)

(Yes or no)

Click!

I selected Yes and exited immediately. His face beamed.

This is really tiring.

Huammmmmmmm ....

I got up from my seat, removed the VR from my head and kept it near the computer.

*KrukkkK KrukkkK*

Stomach rumbling sound.

That made me a little annoyed and speechless while holding it.

"It's bad ... My stomach hurts so much, it's like a pet is slowly eating away at my flesh."

Look at the bottom right corner of the monitor.

(21.00 Thursday 29/10/2023)

"As expected, I always lose track of time and keep playing games."

As far as I know, humans can survive without eating for 1 week, right?

I intend to continue playing this game. But ... I don't want to die silly.

My computer suddenly got a notification message.

"... Eh? What else is this? Why can't I read it. Is this ancient writing? ... Hmmmmmm ... I don't know, there are only 2 writings here that I can choose from."

I don't know what that notification means at all. This message looks a bit long. Is this from that game?

I don't know and I'm very stupid. It seems that the right choice is always correct.

"I don't care which is right or wrong ... I think this is right"

Click.

*Krukkkk Krukkkk!*

Can you stop for a moment, worm ...?

My stomach continued to growl as I endured the pain.

"Is there any leftover food in the refrigerator?"

I left the room, went to the kitchen and left the computer still on. It's natural, I'm always used to bad things like this, but I don't care about it. Displays a monitor that is still on. Still normal, but after I left the room.

Suddenly ....

Ancient writing filled the monitor screen, long and strange messages kept appearing. The program continues to run using a language it doesn't understand and immediately causes the computer to shut down by itself.

***

I opened the refrigerator cupboard, it turns out my guess was wrong, there was no food left in the refrigerator.

"Nothing ... Annoying."

I closed it again and walked away to look for food at the mini market. Picked up the sweater by the door and left the house.

Walking at night with lots of lights lining the roadside. I wore a thick black sweater and black trousers.

A cold atmosphere continued to envelop my entire body. Yes, it's winter at night. Ordinary people will definitely get sick.

Possible? I don't know, the doctor will know.

The cold wind penetrated my tightly covered skin, yawning was something natural when feeling cold like this.

"Hoaahhhhhhh...."

I think walking at night in the cold is a bad thing. Is this true?

Either yes or no. I don't know, because I'm used to being at home every day. Makes me rarely know the outside world anymore. But, I can't just keep quiet if I die stupidly just because of hunger.

"I don't want to starve to death"

I continued walking towards the mini market while lowering my face. My gaze looked across, there was a mother, father and 1 daughter walking home from the mini market.

They're very happy. Have I ever felt happiness like them?

I don't know ....

That's all ....

The daughter who was being carried by her father was beaming with cheerful smiles, enjoying endless happiness, making them look like a family filled with affection and love from both parents.

I see their happiness like an emptiness that always covers the loneliness I feel every day. I don't understand ....

"Father ...? Mother ...? Why do you have to leave so quickly ...."

I never felt the love and happiness of my parents again after their death.

There isn't any ....

Even though my aunt has always looked after and cared for me until now. But, now he is always busy with his own work. Everything is not comparable to them.

"This world ...."

In my opinion, it was just temporary happiness that they got before death befell them. Lowered his head with deep feelings of hatred.

"Sighh … It's useless. Perhaps, the best option is to go to another world and try starting everything from scratch."
