Gacha No Life

Chapter 1 - Dungeon Break: Part 1

He couldn't help but stare helplessly at the time as I continued to tick down.

Puck Gier was currently sitting in his favorite internet cafe with his phone sitting on the table in front of him turned off. His face rested in the palm of his hand as his elbow rested on the table.

He was mindlessly sipping away at a milkshake as he continued to stare at his status in front of him.

~TIME UNTIL DATA TRANSFER COMPLETION: 7 Hrs 59 Mins 59 Secs~

These numbers had been his new recent obsession for the past two days.

Any second he wasn't spending on one of his many Gacha games on his phone, he'd spend starring at this screen.

Hell!

He couldn't even switch over to his status window!

So all he could do now was watch the numbers tick down. Puck was no stranger to waisting at this point, but he never thought this would be what he was doing after he awakened.

A small sigh of defeat escapes his lips as he sits up straight before relaxing back against the booth he was preoccupying.

Closing his eyes, he simply goes back to the time two days ago when he had just awakened. The excitement was still clear in his mind, though much easier to contain now.

He just couldn't believe that it was real. It finally happened....yet why did he just feel so....

Empty?

It didn't even have anything to do with the fact that he was pretty much locked out of status for the next 7 hours.

No.

It was something in the back of his mind was telling him that something was wrong. Was it his subconscious awakener instincts telling him something was coming?

Or was it simply his usual paranoia.

Hell! The feeling was so bad that he even had to go on a FUCKING WALK of all things to clear his head! HIM a fucking antisocial shut-in! Going on a motherfucking walk of all things!

The world must really be ending....

C-CRACK! VVVVVVOOOOOM!

The blood in his veins suddenly ran cold as an otherworldly sound graced his ears. He slowly opened his eyes and robotically looked over to his right out the window before his eyes widened in horror at what was happening in the middle of the street.

It was impossible....

Wasn't it?

There was just no way his like was that bad.

Or maybe he simply used all his luck when he awakened?

Either way, he was soon knocked back to reality by the terrified screams and panic of everyone fleeing in the streets as a humongous, ominously glowing, dark red crack appeared in the air.

A dungeon break.

"T-That's Impossible! There was no dungeon here! So how can there be a dungeon break in the middle of a safe zone?!" A man who was taking refuge in the internet cafe exclaims above the deafening silence that consumed the now empty streets.
