All Chapters of Welcome to the New world: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Walking down the streets of Pasig City, you will see everything in ruins. Broken cars, shattered buildings, and crumbling skyscrapers. It was supposed to be just another day in our post-quarantine world, but everything changed when we heard a voice saying the words “Earth’s Protection Agreement has ended. To everyone living on the planet, good luck!” Everything we thought of as fictional became a reality. I saw a bunch of red dogs with long chains heavy chains dangling from their necks running right in front of me. I thought they were coming after me and that I was going to die, but they all just sped past me for they are being chased by what could only be described as a gryphon, a giant bird as big as a horse. I hurriedly ran and entered this nearby condominium where my friend from Australia lives.

Looking above I only saw was a yellowish shadow bearing down on me. I closed my eyes since it was moving too fast. Luckily, Anton held onto me and then we moved. After coming to my senses, I realized that we had just made use of the tabletop RPG spell Teleport. Looking at the creature that attacked us, I saw a bluish bird with magical symbols floating around it and there was lightning traveling throughout its body. The only possible thing I can think of is that it might be the mythological creature, Thunderbird. In the lore of most games, thunderbirds are only a step lower than phoenixes. No wonder it tracked us down. Even if Anton did the best he could, it is still not a match for the bird with literally lightning-fast reflexes. It must have heard something when Anton sent out lightning earlier or maybe it could see through our force field. While I was having this thought, cold sweat ran through my body, and then I s

Realizing that my friend might be in danger, I convinced Anne that we should go check on Anton since he was the reason why I got to be with her again. We tried to see the specifics of how Anne can use her protection device. From our tests it seems the device responds to her imagination. She needs to protect us from being recognized by the monstrous creatures around us. I told her that maybe we could try to replicate the force field that Anton created to protect the two of us. I told her that to make the force field we first need to create a sphere around her and give herself the ability to perceive everything in it. It seems she got shocked with the information that she received so much that her head started to hurt. Instead, I asked her to try to pass the same ability to me. While it physically hurts my head, it is quite manageable like a light migraine. It is a little annoying but I'm trying to push through it so we

Upon waking up, I saw and felt that I was being sat on by the muscular man. They were going through my backpack, rummaging through the items, looking for useful things. I then asked, “What are you doing? Why are you doing this?" The woman laughed and said “This is a whole new world. We all need to survive somehow and the safest option is to only trust the people you knew before everything changed. You should know that trusting people you just met is as good as putting your life at risk.” For a second, what the woman said actually made sense. But then I thought about the future. What happens in the future? I believe that we should all help each other not just so we can survive but so we can truly live. I then asked them, “So, you’ll never trust anybody else again?” The woman then replied, “Who cares about later? I need to survive now. I’ll think of the future when I get t

With the baby bird on top of my head, we talked and talked while we're on our way to my former high school. I decided to name him "Max" since it is more convenient to call him that compared to calling him "baby bird." He does not know what he is exactly, but he does have ancestral memories, which are memories embedded. He said that maybe over time, he could tell me what he is. With his help, my walking journey became a little carefree. Most monsters we encountered would get literally shocked when they came near us. They would get hit with lightning continuously and eventually turn into dust. Without any trouble, we arrived at my high school.  I haven’t entered these halls for a long time. It is a small school, so we were not issued with any alumni IDs. For me to be able to ent
