Just why did this all start...
As the cold wind blows gently while I sat on the top of the iceberg. Distant memories suddenly flashed throughout my mind. Agonizing and unforgettable memories gush within my mind.
"Just wait for me you damn Bastard Gods Above!" I said while getting up as I see the text in front of me saying
•[ Attention! Everyone, get ready to welcome the opening of the next floor. ]•
There are endless questions but until now, there have been no answers as to why this shit is happening. Until I grab and raze those Deities neck to the ground, I'll play along nicely in this game they laid upon in front of me.

The World was in turmoil from the prediction of the Famous Mystic Fortune Teller wherein at the end of 2012, the world will be engulfed with a calamity that far surpassed what humanity can handle and might be the mark of the "End of the World". People were in disarray, frightened, scared, and panicked, while the other half was in disbelief. I'm on that disbelief side of people but I'm a bit skeptical since that Mystic Person is known throughout the world for her 80-90% accurate predictions.
Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm White, 20 in years and a 4th year College Student. I'm on my way home from a net cafe half a kilometer from our house. It's already getting late and for sure my mother will nag me again when she sees me that's for sure.
As I peek thru the window, looking for a chance to enter the home without my mom detecting me, I saw a strange shadow-like figure in the corner behind the tree. As I stare at it intently, it suddenly vanished. I blinked a few times but I didn't see it again.
"I guess this is the effect of me playing too many video games, now I'm seeing these strange things."
I told to myself as I sneak through the window and run towards my room.

Unbeknownst to the people, the Earth's fate is starting to spin again.
A figure suddenly shows up in a corner of a room.
[ Do we have to do this? ]
told by a shadowy figure with a feminine voice.
[ If we just sit still and do nothing, the world we protected for eons will be destroyed! ]
Shakily shouted out by a manly voice.
[ But! ]
As the feminine figure tries to voice out her concern to stop the other one
[ I know what you're trying to say but if we won't make an action now, When? ]
Told by the manly voice.
[ I hope they overcome this trial they all be facing. ]
As they told while looking at a distant unknown.

There's only an hour left before the new year starts. Foods are being prepared, party horns we're given to us one by one, firecrackers are getting laid in the streets, the kids are blowing the party horns and Karaoke music can be heard in every corner of the streets.
"One hour left till the year ends. A brand new year with a brand new hellish class next week. Damn, I haven't enjoyed my vacation yet!"
I shouted as I watch the beautiful fireworks in the skies.
"Rather than complaining, help us here prepare the desserts!" My mom shouted.
"Yes yes, sure mom I'm coming!" I said as I hurriedly run to the kitchen.
[ Let's Simultaneously countdown to welcome the New Year! ]
Shouted by the broadcaster on the Television. All of us in the family look at each other and keep up with the counting to welcome the New year.
[ 5! ]
As the surrounding people shout grow louder
[ 4! ]
While the party horn's voluminous sound is roaring
[ 3! ]
The people are starting to lit up their fireworks one by one
[ 2! ]
And the sound of cars, motorcycles, and Karaoke Music is growing louder as the countdown is nearing its end
[ 1! ]
People start jumping hysterically especially kids as if it's the last day of the world.
[ Happy New Year!!! ]
Shouted by the broadcaster while the people look at the sky to witness the beautiful and majestic fireworks show that they should be seeing.
However, instead of seeing those beautiful sky show, It's a blinding light that greeted them. A light that lasted about 5 seconds before disappearing.
As the people recovered from that light, they saw the sky slowly getting ripped apart in half. Mysterious creatures slowly emerged from that torn sky.
After a long silence, the happy new year celebration that they should be welcoming was replaced by an Apocalyptic Disaster Event instead.
"Just what in the World..."
White murmured this as his body stumbled, trembling with fear because of the unexpected situation as the people ran aimlessly and slowly got killed one by one.
