The sky cracked.
At first, people thought it was thunder. Then the clouds split apart like shattered glass, revealing a swirling purple void above the city.
Cars stopped in the streets. People stared upward in confusion.
Then a voice echoed inside every human mind.
"The Void System has begun initialization."
Silence fell for a moment.
Then panic erupted everywhere.
"What was that?!"
Phones buzzed. Screens glitched.
A glowing message appeared before everyone's eyes.
WELCOME, PLAYERS.
EARTH HAS BEEN SELECTED FOR SURVIVAL PROTOCOL.
FIRST WAVE IN: 10 MINUTES.
Kael Veyron stood on the rooftop of his apartment building, staring at the message.
"A system…?" he whispered.
Three class options appeared.
Warrior.Mage.Archer.
Then the screen flickered.
A fourth option appeared.
Dark.
Different.
VOID DEVOURER
WARNING: FORBIDDEN CLASS
Kael smiled slightly.
"Interesting."
He selected it.
The world went silent.
Then the system spoke again.
CONGRATULATIONS.YOU ARE THE FIRST VOID PLAYER.
At that exact moment—
A monster crashed onto the street below.
The first wave had begun.
