"Let the first meeting of the apocalypse begin!"
The god raised his hand and declared as the only person excited about it besides me.
"Moah! What kind of humans are they? Show some excitement like Illyum here."
The hands fell and pointed towards me, bringing the attention of all lives in the room onto me.
"Illyum?!"
The owner of the voice filled with shock, thankfully, stole all the attention on me, including mine.
Wait, "Is it our dear friend, Albert?"
Unless the kingdom is under some well devious financial risk, it is no doubt that the brother of the king will be able to afford some healing potions for his injuries.
So, it is no biggy shock that he is completely healed but the shocking news is that he is here.
"You crazy bastard?! Why are you here again!"
He screamed in desperation as if I had given him the trauma of his life.
I truly did that back then.
"Are you seriously asking that, you dog?" I stood up and went to him, catching him by his collars, I forced him to stand up.
Due to overuse of potions, they have ducked out too much mana from his body for an effective healing but unfortunately it also left him quite weak.
That is why I am able to bully him like now.
"Now, now, don't be like that. This is just a place to chat, not to fight."
Although, GOG said it in a submissive tone, I was pulled and placed back in my place through some invisible power as a show of his authority.
"With no more questions, let me introduce you to the 'apocalypse', the great disaster that will befell the world and continue till its end."
Apocalypse, the inevitable end preached by almost every church in the world.
The unavoidable end of all.
"You, all five, are the people responsible for this apocalypse."
"Does that means that we are the heroes that will save the world from the apocalypse?!" said a boy with gaudy demeanor and visage that screamed second generation noveau rich young master.
"Nah my child, in fact, as I said before, you all are responsible for this apocalypse. You all are the lords of the apocalypse, the thing farthest from the heroes, the demon lords of the story."
Although, the child looks dejected, we all felt something damn wrong.
One of us is a prince, a son of a mercenary, a rich noble kid, a ragged poor kid and some unknown silhouette.
The GoG's face wasn't clear but we could feel his mood becoming serious.
Even so, how can anyone among us be a demon lord?
"The lord of the apocalypse, the harbinger of death, famine, pestilence and war. A grand title indeed, but there could be only one holder and there already exists one. A very despicable man, indeed."
"That is why, I want to overthrow that uncrowned king and god with no given authority, I authorize you mortals to replace that being and become the next Lord of the apocalypse through the power I give you while in turn, you all will fulfill my condition."
The world of light distorted into darkness of spirals as the atmosphere became evil.
"But, the fact is that you all are too weak. So, I will let you play a game among yourselves to prepare to be the next Lord."
The fact that the only one lord could exist means that not only we would have to replace the existing lord but also remove each other from the path of becoming a lord.
"The game of the apocalypse, let the world be the stage and you its players. Apostle, I will let you take care of the rest. Good luck no, all the best."
The god vanished with his arms raised in T pose and a figure covered in mask appeared in his place.
Besides that, the green panel appeared again. Although, more detailed with new features except for just a countdown.
"Welcome to the official start of the council, I am the first apostle of the GoG."
