Chapter 1 - Arrival of the Apocalypse

"This is not my room…" Alex looked around with eyes filled with confusion. He was sitting on a small single bed in an unfamiliar room.

Alex was an administrative clerk in an office of a small American company. Last night, he ended up going to bed late at night after spending a few hours playing his traditional online game. When he was already very tired, he fell into his single bed sleeping comfortably until he woke up in this unfamiliar room.

"Wait, those aren't my hands and my body isn't my body…" Just then, he realized that his body seemed to have gotten a lot younger.

Startled, he was about to get up and go look at himself in the mirror that was next to a small wardrobe near the bedroom door when a severe headache hit him: "Damn headache..."

He couldn't help but lie back on the bed as he held his head with both hands.

At the same time, a great dump of unknown memories began to flood his sea of ​​consciousness.

Shortly after, his expression relaxed and he was perplexed as he assimilated its content.

"Is this... Is this the reincarnation legendary that only happens in fantasy novels? I was transmigrated and reincarnated in the body of this young 15-year-old, Agnus Vorhells, and now I am a high school middle student?"

Soon, he came to the conclusion that he had been reincarnated.

In the memories he was processing, he is now in another world called Havengard.

Although this is not a fantasy world and was very similar to Earth technologically as it is in the 21st century, there were two gigantic continents where each of them is much larger than all of Earth's continents put together. In addition, government policy is also very different.

The political power structure is adopted very similar to what was structured in the Middle Ages of Earth. There were empires ruled by emperors, kingdoms ruled by kings, and duchies ruled by dukes...

Agnus had just turned 15 and he is a high school student at the most prestigious school in Glory City, under the jurisdiction of her father, Baron Abel Vorhells.

"So I'm a baron's son? That just makes things even more complicated..."

"From my experience as a reader of fantasy novels, the ex-Agnus was most likely the victim of some political intrigue or ended up getting killed because he simply looked at some beauty capable of destroying kingdoms and empires..."

"Wait, that..." Suddenly, his body went rigid as a new image popped into his mind.

New images of a beautiful girl began to surface in his memories. She had white skin, blue eyes, pink lips, and short blonde hair that fell to the length of her exquisite neck.

In her memories, she was always smiling gracefully with her beautiful smile, and her every gesture exuded the purest nobility.

A sweet feeling rose in Agnus' heart. He was feeling that being beside her was relaxing and comforting, like a spring breeze.

This beauty in her memoirs is called Soraya Bellarius, the daughter of the Priester of the only church in the entire Crimson Duchy having only one small temple in Glory City and which contained only a few hundred faithful followers.

The night before, it had been Soraya's 15th birthday party and she had held a small feast at the Temple of Light to ask for the blessings of the Goddess of Light. Of course, at a celebratory feast, there could be no shortage of guests, and among the many who attended, Agnus had been one of them. On such an occasion, everyone would have to eat at the banquet and drink a glass of wine so that their respects would be paid to Soraya.

In the Church of Light, the authorities were only the Priest and two Deacons, a Deacon on the Left and a Deacon on the Right.

The Priest was Hilton Bellarius, Soraya's father, responsible for the general administration of the church. Hilton is constantly trying to build headquarters in other cities and regions, but in addition to the difficulties imposed by the nobility that firmly repress the churches, there were also very few people willing to follow a religion, for everyone knows that churches are repressed by the nobility and their lives as a believer would not be easy to fit into today's society.

The Deacon on the Left is Clara Gil, the mother of Soraya. She is in charge of preaching the beliefs of the Church of Light in the city's neighborhoods, villages, and other neighboring regions where her presence was tolerable by the nobility, as there were many nobles who forbade any religion in their territories.

The Deacon on the Right is Robert Maramos, in charge of the Church's internal affairs. He is responsible for managing occasions such as ceremonies, banquets, and other internal events.

At some point during last night's party, Robert was alone with Agnus and had asked him to keep his distance from Soraya, as she was destined to be the wife of his son, Rui Maramos, as has always been the case in previous generations. The Deacon of the Left marries the Deacon of the Right while keeping the church running for generations amid the repression of the nobility.

In addition, Agnus was a nobleman and the king did not tolerate a noble having relations with the churches.

However, the earlier Agnus saw this as an insult, because he, the son of a baron with noble status, was being coerced by a mere believer from a small church within his own territory.

His response to Robert was as follows: he went to the main seat of the banquet, said a few flattering words, and made a formal request to Soraya that they both become lovers.

Soraya, who studied in the same class as Agnus and had a very close friendship with him in recent years, ended up accepting his request.

They both held hands and the party came to that unexpected end. After all, everyone knew that the nobility did not have a good relationship with the few churches in existence.

The reason there is so much repression against churches is related to Havengard's long history that it has become taboo in today's society.

After the party, Agnus went straight to the school dormitory and, when he got there, he felt severe headaches, felt sick, and ended up falling asleep believing that he was just hungover after drinking a few glasses of wine and that he would be better after a good night of sleep.

However, he went into eternal sleep never to wake up again, and by some twist of fate, Earth Alex ended up reincarnating in his body.

"That old Robert had already poisoned the wine when he tried to coerce old Agnus to stay away from Soraya..."

"I don't know how a simple deacon of a small church, oppressed by the nobility, had so much courage..."

"Things are not as simple as they seem..."

He did not know how he had reincarnated into this world, but he came to the conclusion that the former Agnus had been poisoned by Robert after analyzing his memories, otherwise, how could he have been killed?

"As for Soraya... Well, I don't know how I'm going to face her when I meet her again... How hilarious, my first girlfriend turned out to be in another world..."

"However, that's not very important at the moment, now that I occupy this body, I have to assume this new identity and try to establish myself..."

As he now occupies this body, he decided that it would be better to accept his new identity quickly to adapt to this world, otherwise, he would end up meeting the same fate as the previous Agnus and would end up being killed without even knowing how.

After better understanding his situation, he got up from his small bed, now aware that he was in a room belonging to the school dormitory, and walked slowly to the mirror.

By the way, he had found it strange that a high school had a dormitory, but the school here was very big and the education system was integral. In addition, it also housed young students who came from neighboring villages and who chose to sleep here.

"That body... Why is he so handsome? He shouldn't be..."

After standing in front of the mirror and seeing his current appearance, he thought of something not very pleasant and quickly lowered his pants to check his belongings.

"Good. This body is not only very beautiful, but also very well endowed. I was very lucky this time..."

Thinking of his former physical appearance on Earth, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the result of his current appearance.

The Alex from Earth had an average appearance. He was neither ugly and nor handsome, neither skinny nor fat, but he had very low self-esteem due to his member which was barely 15 centimeters. That had been his biggest regret during his 30 years on Earth, as he had never had any kind of sexual relationship with a woman, much less, had never dated for fear of being scorned for being small.

He was a great 30-year-old virgin!

However, the heavens are fair and he had been blessed now.

Facing the mirror, he was still staring at himself. His current physical body was 1.75 meters tall. His body was well proportioned, neither thin nor fat. Her hair was pitch black and fell like a waterfall to her waist even though it was tied in a ponytail knot.

His eyes were clear and bright. His white skin, youthful face, and elegant manner exuded an air of nobility as he dressed in his red and black clothes.

"All of this belongs to me now..." Agnus had a satisfied smile as he looked at himself in the mirror. In addition to having a flawless body, he also had a beautiful girlfriend waiting for him.

Rumble!

Suddenly, a loud roar of thunder reverberated through the skies so loudly that he had a fright when he was interrupted from his thoughts and he couldn't help but go to his bedroom window to watch what appeared to be a storm forming in the heavens.

"The weather in this world seems to be abnormal. Since when do storms form so quickly?"

From the 6th floor window of his dorm, he first observed that Glory City was much like any other modern city on Earth, full of buildings with the highest concentration of skyscrapers in the most central area, and then looked up at the sky which began to condense black clouds at an abnormal speed.

In a matter of seconds, the day was no longer bright and it seemed to have turned to night as torrential rain began to fall.

"Something's wrong with this weather. There's no way a storm can build up that fast..."

As if dispelling his doubts, an ethereal voice echoed through the heavens: [Mortals of Havengard, your sins have exceeded the quota bearable by the Gods of the Eternal Void. Receive Divine Judgment]

Rumble!

At the same time, the roar of thunder reverberated even more violently. Heavy rain began to fall. Winds capable of knocking down trees were formed as they spread across the city.

Boom!

Cars started crashing into each other triggering the onset of chaos.

In the skies, a loud turbine noise mixed with the roar of thunder reached Agnus' ears as he lifted his head again to look at the skies only to see a large civilian plane crashing in the distance.

Boom!

A large mushroom of smoke rose to the skies followed by the sound of an explosion shortly after the plane crashed.

"That... What in the world is going on here? Are there Gods in this world? No, there shouldn't be any, the ancient Agnus was very studious and he had spent most of his time studying about this world and, according to his studies, religions here almost do not exist. This is a society where 98% are atheists and only 2% have any religion..."

"Such a high rate of atheists. This is probably one of the main reasons why this world is now facing this so-called Divine Judgment..."

"Although many religious people also commit sins, these numbers are nothing compared to the large number of sins committed by atheists... This is clearly seen on Earth..."

"I wonder, if Earth had so many atheists in the 21st century, would the same happen there?"

"No, don't come... Someone help me... Ah!" Suddenly, a loud, shrill scream roused Agnus from his thoughts.

From his 6th floor window, he watched in horror as a bloodied man on top of a woman who had just screamed for help as they lay in the street beside several cars crumpled by the crashes.

"That's... It can't be what I'm thinking, right?"

The bloodied man was no longer an ordinary person, he looked like a hungry cannibal as he frantically bit the poor woman tearing out several pieces of flesh and internal organs causing blood to spurt on his contorted face with each bite he took.

Agnus was now sure of what was happening...

The apocalypse had arrived!
