Redo: Grimoire System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 29 - (29) Apocalypse



He stood up decided on soaking in the tub this morning instead of getting a shower. Once the tub was full, he sat in and soaked in the water after turning on the jets.

During his soak, he thought back on everything that had happened and how real it had seemed. \'I suppose things like that couldn\'t actually happen.\' His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the kids waking up, so he drained the water and stepped out.

After drying off and cleaning up, he threw on some jeans and a t-shirt and spent the day playing with his children again. Occasionally he would hop on his phone and check on his investments. The date was the same as the night of the dream, where he\'d woken up in a strange world.

Throughout the day, he constantly had Deja Vu, the same things were happening as the day before the world changed. He was beginning to get a massive headache.

Things continued to play out the same as he remembered, he even adjusted a couple of trades and made more money than he had the first time. In fact, he\'d made enough for them to live for the entire following year.

Regardless of how well the day went, everything the overlapped memories crossed, he would get a splitting headache. Eventually, everything calmed down and the kids went to sleep. It was after midnight, once the calm hit, the headaches went away.

Instead of hanging around the house, Geth decided to go out for a late-night drive. He didn\'t want the headaches to come back if he did the same thing.

He jumped into his little blue pickup truck and headed down the back roads. After about a half-hour of driving, a more upbeat song came on and he hit the gas. Before the song was over, Geth was pulled to the side of the road with red and blue lights flashing behind him.

"License and registration." The officer had walked up to the driver\'s side window, placing his hand on the tail light as he approached.

Geth sighed and pulled his wallet out of his back pocket, grabbing his registration from above the visor. After handing the information over, he waited patiently.

The officer shined his light into the pickup quickly and then handed the paperwork back. "Any reason you were driving so fast, Mr. Geth?"

"Well, a good song came on and I lost track of.... wait.. what?" He looked at the officer strangely and glanced at his ID. His name read Geth and his Attributes replaced the normal information.

It was at that moment that the sky lit up, the officer step back and looked up. He didn\'t move when Geth hopped out of the pickup and stood beside him.

They both stared up into the sky as thousands of bright-tailed meteors flew by the Earth. The headaches started to come back, stronger than they had been all day. Everything became fuzzy.

The ground started to shake and split apart, the officer\'s patrol car started to fall into a large ravine that was opening behind it. "Come on!" Geth yelled as he jumped in the truck, the officer jumping beside him in the passenger seat.

They took off, trying to outrun the deep ravine that was chasing them. To their left, massive mountains were growing from the ground, water pouring from their sides.

Houses were being lifted into the air and cars were falling from unimaginable heights. Screams could be constantly heard, even with the loud rumble of the land and the sound of the engine roaring. The officer was horrified in the passenger seat.

Just as they had finally pulled away from the ravine, a large root protruded from the ground, hitting the bed of the truck and rolling it multiple times. Through the rolling, Geth could feel multiple bones fracturing. He was bleeding from many wounds and had a large piece of glass stuck in his arm.

He grabbed his knife that was tucked tightly beside his console and cut away the seat belt. There was no way out from the crushed door, he kicked out the windshield and crawled onto the hood cutting himself worse with glass as he made his way off.

Once he was on solid ground, he looked back at the officer. The man\'s neck was twisted at an unnatural angle and his right arm was crushed between the crushed door and console. Blood was pouring from a large wound on his head.

Geth shook his head, nothing he could do for the man now. The ground was still shaking, he watched as roots the size of normal tree trunks burst from the ground, growing through houses and ripping up the asphalt of the road.

The normal trees in the woods expanded, becoming as wide as cruise ships and growing quickly into the sky, becoming as tall as skyscrapers. The devastation continued, massive ravines kept forming and rumblings kept coming from the continent. Lava began spewing from some of the openings.

Smaller ruptures began appearing across the destroyed land and in the mountains that climbed to the sky. From these openings, tens of thousands of creatures began pouring out.

Geth saw living skeletons, humanoid lizards, massive earthen creatures that stood over 20 feet tall, huge Dragons who could barely be seen through the dust in the air, it was unbelievable. He even recognized Slimes and Goblins running around in the ruins.

The creatures were all tearing at each other\'s bodies, along with chasing around the humans that had survived. Geth was just standing there, being ignored by everything around him, almost as if he didn\'t exist.

Soon, his body disappeared and he was just an essence floating around. There was no controlling his movement, he was just along for the ride. This essence launched into the air, rising above the massive trees and huge mountains.

He looked down and around at the scenery. There were hundreds of thousands of beasts, many he recognized, and many he didn\'t. Even flying through the air, there were creatures much larger and more terrifying than those dragons.

The Earth was completely warped, everything had suddenly expanded and grown almost a thousand times larger than before. He had no time to think any longer, the essence rushed towards the ravine and fell into the darkness. As all of his senses were stripped from him....
