On this planet known as earth, there have been many strange phenomenons at night that couldn't be explained. I won't go into detail but they will be explained later down the line. In a normal place located in Michigan, there is a boy by the name of Darius Brightburn. He was just getting out of school and this is his last day before the summer break.

"Man, school is finally out, I can play some call of duty the whole summer, it not like I'll be able to go on any vacations anyway." Darius's parent owned a small store in the area, it did alright for the 3 of them to get by but it wasn't enough for a vacation at all. Darius unlocked the chain on his bike and hopped on it, he was now on his way home.

"When I get home, I'm going to watch a movie or something. I'll watch alien covenant or something after I take a shower." It was quite hot outside at the moment so taking a shower was a must in this type of weather. It took Darius 15 minutes to get home by bike, his parent had worked hard to move out here through a lot of saving. They wanted their son to have a good school life and moved away from Detroit.

Darius arrived home, he had a key to his house since his parents wouldn't get off work until later today. He went to his room and undressed to take a shower, but decided to take a bath instead since it would be more refreshing. While the bathwater was running, Darius decided to cut on the television, the news was on at this time.

"In news today, there was another school shooting. The kid was being bullied and came back the next day with his dad's pistol. Nine people were shot, four died and 5 were badly injured." The news lady said as she continued to explain more about it. Darius shook his head seeing this, it was nothing new to him, this was happening way too often now.

"Man, I wish I could get strong like those super-powered heroes in the comics so I could defend myself if this were to happen to me, I also want to be rich." Darius knew such a thing was ridicules and wouldn't happen so immediately discarded those thoughts and went to the bathroom to take his bath. After about 45 minutes, Darius finally came out of the bathroom to dry himself and through on some fresh new clothes.

"Alrighty then, let's go watch some alien covenant! I'm with that sci-fi kinda scene, these are my favorite type of movies." Darius had his laptop in his hand as he went to the living room to watch the movie. Darius sat on the couch and searched Alien covenant to watch, it didn't take him long to find a decent site that would view the movie for him.

"Alright, I haven't seen this movie before so this should be good. I've watched all the other aliens but I haven't seen this one yet." Darius clicked the movie circle thingy on the screen to start the movie, it began and he started watching it.

Time passed on as he continued to watch the movie, soon the movie came to an end and Darius was shocked at the ending. The android at the end was the bad one the whole time, he had a feeling this was so. "Wow, stuff like this always has to happen to continue with series, I guess." Darius took it to be so.

"Hmm, the news is still on? What are they talking about now?" Darius had cut the tv back on and saw that the news was still on. "Let me cut it up and see what going on now, its always something."

"In news today, the strange phenomenon in the sky has occurred again. In what people describe as a strange vortex in the sky. Many scientists dont know what to say about it, many claim that its a black hole forming and that its the end of the world. We're interviewed some local on the situation, to you Ben." The lady turned it over to some other news guy

"I'm ben and we're here to interview some people in the area, young man, what do you have to say about the strange phenomenon?" Ben asked

"I think it might be some aliens trying to get to our world. Who knows, maybe some of those experts should send a droid with a camera through the strange vortex to see what going on with it." After Darius heard what this guy said, he cut the tv back off.

"People are losing there mind these days, this idiot said alien! They should just dump that kid into an insane asylum!" Darius couldn't believe idiots like that still existed, damn alien! Someone grab him now and toss him into an asylum!

"It's whatever, let's see if I can find another good movie to watch." Darius went to a website where tons of movies popped up. There were movies about zombies and all. Just when he was about to click a movie, something strange popped up on his screen.

"What the heck is this? A survey? Hmm, seems interesting, let me check what question it will ask." Darius saw a total of 5 questions he had to answer. The questions were quite strange but they aren't hard to answer, they were multiple choice.

1. Would you like to become very powerful? Y/N "Clicks (Yes)"

2. Would you like to become a hero and save people? "Clicks (Yes)"

3. If you could travel to different worlds, would you? "Clicks (Yes)"

4. Do you like movies? "Clicks (Yes)"

5. Do you want to save your world from the incoming calamity?

Seeing the fifth question pop up on his screen, Darius's facial expression changed a bit. What did this mean by an incoming calamity? "It just a strange survey, what am I getting so worked up about, haha!" Darius then clicked Yes. A soon as he clicked his answer some more text appeared on the screen.

〚You've taken the survey and is qualified to participate in the Realm Survival Games! You will be teleported away with other participants that were also chosen!〛

〚Initlizing teleportation in 1 minute!〛

"What the hell going on!? What Survival game? What is this!?" Darius wasn't feeling so well seeing this notification, he had bad premonition about this! However, he strangely got up and ran to the kitchen and grabbed a knife!

〚Initlizing teleportation in 15 Seconds!〛

"Son of uh bitch, how are you in my head!?" Darius was shocked, the voice was now in his head, What did this mean? Was he going crazy?

〚Initlizing teleportation in 3..2..1- Teleporting now!〛

Darius bodies flashed as he blacked out on the spot. Minutes later, he opened his eyes, only to find himself in a huge room. "Ugh! What is going on? Where is this, this isn't my kitchen." Darius rubbed his eyes and looked around, he spotted multiple figures that were also on the ground getting up as they head their heads. He also found that his knife was gone.

"Where the hell is this? Who dare to kidnap me in my own house!" One man got up and raged as he looked around at the people in the surroundings.

"Bro, relax! We are all in the same situation as you, we don't know what is going on!" One blonde-haired man said, he had an accent, he was clearly British.

"Kore wa dokodesu ka?" One girl got up and said, she appeared to be Asian. Judging by what she said, she was clearly Japanese and couldn't speak English. There were different people here of all nationalities, it was an Indian guy sitting crosslegged with his head down.

Darius didn't understand what she was saying, she was fainted next to him and asked him. "uh, I.. dont.. know." Darius said it slowly, he didn't know what she was saying, so he just said he didn't know anything. The girl nodded and looked around. Soon other people started to wake up.

"Damn, my head is killing me, did someone sneak attack me from behind?" One man with a bunch of tattoos stood up from the floor, he looked around and was surprised to see so many people. The man also had an accent, he was clearly Mexican and wasn't happy about the current situation.

"We don't know what going on either." The British guy from earlier said. The British guy decided to do a count and found that there were a total of 50 people in this room. There were no doors but one person looked up a bit and saw a cube descending downward.

"What is that cube thingy?" The man exclaimed. Darius didn't say anything and just monitored his surroundings. Once he saw the cube, he was stunned, it was all black with a different colored crystal embedded inside of it on all sides, each side had different colored gem. It had a Tron vibe coming from it, at least this is what it reminded Darius of.

"This cube looks dangerous! Everyone back up!" One man yelled. Most of the people instinctively backed up but some didn't since they could understand English so they stayed where they were as they scanned the cube as it descended.

The cube stopped as soon as it got close the to ground. "It stopped, what is it going to do?" Just as some random dude said that, the cube began to glow as it shot multiple beams of light towards everyone. Some tried to dodge, but it was simply unescapable, the laser hit everyone in the head. the horror on everyone's face was priceless but they soon found that nothing happened to them, but instead, some strange information was being pumped into their minds.

"What the hell?" One guy said

"What is a status page?" One guy said, but as soon as he said that, he was shocked. "A screen popped up with numbers and... what, my strength is pretty good!" The man couldn't even say much, he was kinda speechless.

Darius was a little surprised too, he could clearly see the information filling his head. Darius found out that this cube was like a store where he could purchase items and abilities from. However, he knew that he had no currency to purchase anything now so he didn't bother with it.

At that moment, the void behind everyone shook and 2 portals opened up. One of the portals was red and the other was blue. Above the portals was a number, it was the number 25 above both of them. Everyone was confused when they saw this and turned to each other as shocked could clearly be seen in their faces.

"What are these portals for? Are they our way back home?" As soon as he said that a cold voice rang out in everyone's head.

[Choose a portal in 3 minutes or you will die!]

Everyone felt a chill run down their back hearing the cold voice. The voice spoke in the language everyone could understand, so everyone knew what was going on. "F.u.c.k it, I'll choose the blue one since it represents goodness." One burly man walked toward the blue portal and jumped through it, disappearing. The number above the portal sudden change into 24 once the man walked through it, what did this mean?

"Dibs on the blue portal!" One man ran towards the blue portal and jumped in it and disappeared as well. At this point, many people started rushing the portal, that voice was no joke. They were assured about their situation since this mysterious cube could put information into their minds. Many people were running toward the blue portal while Darius ran to the red portal, he liked red of course.

The number soon reach the limit on the blue portal and it closed up, leaving only the red portal. Darius and everyone else who didn't go into the blue portal jumped into the red portal. A moment later, they arrived in an alleyway in a city.

"Where is this, is this Newyork?" The man had been to Newyork so he could recognize the surrounding pretty well. Darius looked around and indeed confirmed that this was Newyork. Everyone jumped and celebrated that they were out of that place. However, what they would hear next nearly scared them to death.

[Ding! Mission: Survival!]

〈Mission Log: Survive for 48 hours

〈World Type: Movie

〈Movie: World War Z

[The Infectious outbreak will start in 1 hour!]

"What?" Many exclaimed in unison. they were scared out of their wits!

"NANI?" The only one to reply differently was that Japanese foreigner.

Darius' face turned dark, it was really a survival game or was this a joke? Darius wasn't taking any chance and walked off from the group. "Hey, where are you going? Did you just see what that mission log thingy just said!?" The man said in a somewhat shivery voice.

"Of course, that's why I'm leaving. see ya!" Darius kept walking and ignore the rest of the group.

"Whatever, just let him go. This is probably just a prank, I'm heading to the airport, I need to go home ASAP." Some of them deemed it as a joke. However, that Japanese girl was different, she walked off as well.

Darius continued to walk, he was walking out of the alleyway. "I will need to head to a gun store, if I can rob a gun store, then I should be able to survive." Darius said to himself and continued " Hmm, A gun store it is, let's do this! i Should rob it at the last moment or when the disturbance starts." He didn't want to possibly get shot by the police, then it would all be over. "Ah, right, Status!" Darius said to himself. Soon a sheet popped up with his stats.

"Wow, I wonder if this is weak or mediocre, maybe even pure trash!" Darius shook his head and proceed to the gun store, he knew where it was, he had been to Newyork with his grandpa before when he was alive.

"And so it begins!"
