Explosions, Crashing cars and people screaming, Shun can literally hear it all around him. He can even see buildings turning into dust, pieces by pieces.
"Wha....is the world, ending today?!" He grumbled.
On the other side of the city he saw a giant tower, as high as the sky.
"That's not supposed to be there, what the heck is going on?"
It seems like the world is rebuilding itself, from an ordinary world to a fantasy game-like world.
"I need to hurry up to-.." he's thoughts was interrupted when a giant frog-like thing suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Wh-What the hell is this?"
"A toad?...no, it looks like a frog, what's the difference anyway?, it's dangerous"
He quickly turned back and tried to run away from the horrifying monster.
"I never liked frogs or whatever you are!"
The frogs tongue that can extend for 12 meter reaches him, and now he is completely restrained by the frog's tongue.
"Wahhhhh!...get away!...I'm not delicious" Shun screamed.
The frog can devour him anytime, but for some reasons, the frog stayed still until Shun noticed a few monsters surrounding him.
A giand hound with two heads, a green human-like creature with pointed ears, and a pack of wolves, mouth open and all waiting to devour him.
"What?..are you planning to share me with your friends
Virgin like me are not tasty! Get away!"
Shun tried to struggle to loosen the grip but it's no use. The frog's tongue is gripping him tightly, almost crushing his bones.
"Crap! I can't use magic. My head is all mess up, I can't even visualize"
"I guess this is the end! Goodbye world!"
Shun whimpered and closed his eyes, accepting his defeat. The monster gathered around him and ready for the feast.
"Shwiiingg....Wuuuussssshhhh"
He heard a satisfying sound around him, a sound of a sharp object slashing a meat , he feels like his body is covered with a sticky liquid.
"Blood?" He thought as he recognized the smell and slowly open his eyes.
"Hot!..my body is burning hot"
"Eh?..." He reacted as as he realizes that the frog's tongue is gone, and now his body is being pulled by gravity to the ground.""
"Ugh, oww..that hurts, but it's a miracle that I'm still alive" he groaned as he landed on his back.
"Did I.... killed them all?"
He whimpered as he saw the blood stains surrounding him.
"That's creepy, I didn't do anything yet!"

"Change pop-up location setting!" He commanded.
"Changing pop-up setting! Please choose a location!"
Shun heard the female voice inside his head spoked.
[POP-UP LOCATIONS]
"Okay!....I'll choose Safe zones!"
"Roger!" The A.I assistant replied before the whole screen disappeared.
"Now then!...shall I go and see Yuya?"
Shun stared running straight to where the school is. The surrounding is constantly changing as he runs through the fallen buildings.
"Oii Miss assistant....are you still there?" Shun uttered.
"Yes boss! I'm Q-9K14 and I'm the A.I assistant of Player-9,014 "
"Player number 9,014?... Is that me?
If my assumptions was right, my smartphone merged with me right?"
"Yes boss! I'm basically the consciousness of your smartphone"
"I see, can you call Yuya?"
"Understood! Calling Yuya!"
"I'm sorry boss, but the number your calling right now is unreachable!"
"Tsk....I can't even reach Yuya, What the hell is happening over there!?
That's fine, Thank you for your assistance Q "
"Your welcome, boss!" Q replied.
The moment Shun reached the front school grounds, he saw nothing but monsters crawling on the school building and the roof.
"Aww crap, Again?" The only words that escaped his mouth.
He manage to caught their attention, and now they're slowly approaching him.
"This is different from last time, this time I won't hesitate!"
"Kurokatta: Black cutter !" Shun chanted, a small magic circle appeared in his palm indicating that a weapon is being constructed using alchemy magic.
"Alright!" He shouted before charging in the school grounds,holding the black dagger in his riy hand.
The monsters from the roof jumped towards him all at once.
"This is the first time I'm using this, Dark Cloak!"
Black aura covered his blade, he swinged his dagger with all his might.
"Dark Cloak: Black Crescent Slash!"
The moment, the black crescent wave hit the monsters they're wiped out all at once.

"Level up pop-ups are necessary for the players to know their progress
It cannot be control or turned off through the pop-up setting" Q answered.
"Whaat??...this damn game should issue some user manual" He thought.
"Awesome! Awesome!...you're really strong, Futaro Shun! "
Shun heard a voice screaming in arrogant tone from above him. He looked up and saw a man with a blonde hair, peeking through the 2nd floor's broken window.
"Who the hell are you?" Shun screamed back, pointing towards the guy.
