The Surface

Chapter 1

Note: I recommend listening to this soundtrack while reading!

Earth...it's been part of this dimension for millions upon millions of years. I suppose every one of its inhabitants expected it to end sooner or later, that particular day more or less targeting a day where humans weren't even around anymore but, unfortunately, that's not how it went entirely. You see, this world had 'ended' on December 25th, 2302, a day where most of the people were expecting to be greeted with the smell of freshly cooked turkey rather than the harsh smells of smoke that felt as if they were burning the insides of your lungs or watch a nice, friendly Christmas movie rather than watch meteors the size of boulders destroy everything and everyone you ever loved. Of course, before I or even the wretched thing had come here, the world was already hitting its breaking point. With so much pollution, war and destroying of Earth's resources, it was a surprise to me that the world hadn't fallen over earlier! This world was just unfortunate enough to catch the attention of someone who was strong enough to turn this world into nothing but a memory in just a matter of hours.

And Jesus did she do a good job...with the power of her flames and hellish canines at her front. She had gotten the job done quickly and efficiently, from buildings and cities that seemed to have taken years to build, she had managed to reduce to its foundations in a matter of minutes! The world in which the inhabitants knew was dying so fast that I was surprised that the scholars of this world even had the time to warn the people about the secret underground world they had right beneath their feet! While the world was burning, these random giant holes had started to appear out of nowhere, the sheer size managing to eat up houses, cars, and even streets! Though it was idiotic to even think about it...the scholars had ordered everyone to jump into the holes with no idea what was lying beneath it! And the result of that jump? Well...it had led into an underground pitch-black dystopia, where monsters just as hellish as Her canines roamed and devoured everything that moved as well as glowed the eerie colors of crimson red, purple and so many other dark colors and the waters and plant-life didn't give life but instead took it.

This world's inhabitants were in for the nightmare of their lives...and they no longer had their cursed technology to back them up. But you know what? Overall, I could barely give a rat's ass about the people of this world, in the end? I came for one person and one person only, Her...the one who has escaped my grasp so many times before and even had the gut to destroy this world! If anyone stood in my way of getting to her, daring to say that she's even worth sparing, I won't hesitate to kill them...I've already had enough trouble in the past from being stopped by this woman's followers or people who were tricked into thinking she was good and I was evil. "God...I could stand to clean up around this place a little." I grumbled as I took a step out of my house, the immediate sight of the dark, blood-red glowing trees along with the hellish darkness making me let out an uneasy sigh.

This world...so much I already knew about it but at the same time, so much I still didn't know. Each time I felt that I was safe in this world, each time that I felt that I had gotten the hang of something and that my day of killing Her was finally approaching! I was always shot down by the sight of my garden being snacked on by a juvenile Beast or by a Snapper almost coming along to kill me...this underground world was nothing like the one I had experienced back in my former world. From the creatures to the plant-life, to even the water! There was nothing that didn't glow an eerie glow down here...and even though they produced some light, it wasn't enough to keep my original color and looks up to par and goodness...before the events that led me to live underground like a mole-rat and being a complete loner, I was pretty decent looking.
