Chapter 496 Apocalypse

Chapter 496 Apocalypse

"Ah!"

Exclamations sounded in a classroom as the students were watching something on their phones.

It wasn't only them.

Even the teacher sat with her legs crossed and a tablet in her hands, completely engrossed in the tournament.

A male student watched the tournament on a high-class shell phone with his headphones loosely hanging around his neck.

After the match ended and the scene changed to show something completely different, he closed the shell phone and slipped it inside his trousers's pockets. Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)

"Ugh..." He rested his head on the desk and lazily closed his eyes.

On his backpack that was dangling from his chair, there was a name sign that said, "Property of Isaac."

"Sucks, doesn't it?" His friend came over and sat on the desk next to him, patting his back in sympathy. "If we had qualified, we wouldn't have to be here taking these boring ass classes."

"Yeah, it actually does, Micah." Isaac whispered lazily as he stared blankly at the whiteboard at the front of the classroom. "The principal mustn't be too happy."

"Haha, nah, he ain't." Micah chuckled and grabbed Isaac's school textbook off the desk. "I heard a few whispers that he was apparently shouting to the teachers earlier today.

"Probably blaming them for our bad success in the tournament."

"Hah." Isaac laughed with a hint of mocking aimed at the principal.

They were all given a few free days off from school so they would be able to compete in the tournament. The principal wanted even one team from their school to reach far.

In the end, not a single student from this school got past the first round.

This school was slightly special as it was one of the guinea pigs for the new program—VR Training.

Therefore, to get better funding and resources, the principal wanted to show the success of their new program. However, it had been barely two weeks since they implemented the VR training program, so the results were still uncertain.

Ding!

At that moment, the school bell rang and signaled the end of the class.

Isaac slung the backpack over his shoulder and left the classroom with his friend.

They leaned against a wall in the hallway and opened the window to get some fresh air.

Meanwhile, all the classrooms started emptying, so the hallways were bustling with activity.

"I am not sure about you, but I don't want to be ordinary." Micah said and witnessed everyone just walking by them as if they didn't exist.

"Julian, Ambrose, Moriarty, and Zadkiel." Micah repeated the names of the ones he wanted to catch. "Those four names are on the tongue of everyone. Don't you want to feel the same?"

"Sigh, fine, but we ain't quitting the school, not yet." Isaac said. "We'll visit this dojo and try to enroll. If it works out, then we can think about it."

"That's fine." Micah patted his friend's shoulders with a grin. "The world is not ready for us!"

Isaac rolled his eyes, as he didn't expect becoming a master swordsman to be easy. It would be incredibly difficult, with tons of hardships along the way.

...

Sizzle!

The sky was on fire with an intense blaze of orange and red. It looked like a blanket of flames had descended from outer space.

There wasn't a single cloud or sun in sight.

At the ground below, magma rose from the cracks of black rock and flowed down the mountainside.

Crack, Sizzle, Crack!

The ground continued cracking like glass, and magma gushed out in a fiery river, flowing throughout the surrounding landscape like a long snake slithering through the scorched earth.

Swoosh!

At that moment, dozens of flaming meteors appeared in the fire sky and began hurtling towards the ground.

As they rained down, the already chaotic landscape became even more apocalyptic. It was clear that this world was currently suffering from a world-ending apocalypse!

And, at that moment, on top of a strange floating block of black rock that hovered several hundred meters above the ground, a flash of light descended, and a lying man appeared.

He had his eyes closed while lying on the block of black rock while the meteors rained down around him. He looked peaceful, as if he were sleeping deeply.

After several seconds, the man's eyelids fluttered open, and he slowly sat up, taking in his surroundings.

"This is..." Ambrose looked around the apocalyptic world and whispered. "The underworld..."

He then touched his face below the nose and tried to feel if there was any blood left, but there wasn't, and even his left arm had recovered in perfect condition.

'I again bled and passed out. What's happening to me?'

Ambrose slowly stood up and looked around the apocalyptic world around him.

"God damn it..."
