《The Monster App》Chapter 6 - D-Day Part 1
Advertisement
[Video Message from user Mash Royce via Monster App:
Most of you who are watching this video know who I am.
For those who don't, I guess you weren't part of the 'Fluffals is not a Troll' community on Reddit.
As far as I know, I might have been the first App User to complete the fertilization tasks and hatch my monster egg.
Those within the community who hatched their eggs after me decided we had to reward ourselves with a title.
After much debating, we all settled on calling ourselves, Tamers.
Those who still haven't hatched their eggs are referred to as App Users.
The ones who haven't even opened the Monster App or have refused to open it are called Normies or Non-Tamers by our community.
The doomsday message mentioned by the one known as 'The Majestic Pink Fluffals The Third' is a long-ass name to remember, so we refer to it as Fluffals.
Now that I got the terminologies out of the way let's get straight to what you must all be thinking right now.
When you checked the App before, you might have noticed that there wasn't any video messaging feature, so how are you seeing this message?
To answer that, I need to remind you of a question that you might have forgotten about.
Did you not find it strange that the Monster App only appeared in Ultra Smart Phones with Butlers?
A group of Tamers on Reddit decided to experiment with the App until they found the answer.
That answer lay with the Butlers themselves, who are essential to execute this feature.
They also discovered that video messaging between Butlers through the Monster App does not require wifi, cell towers, radio, or any other medium.
Walls and distance do not seem to be an issue as well.
This discovery, along with several others, has made the community believe that the threat of an apocalypse could be real.
That is why I wish to make an important announcement.
A week ago, I joined a group called the 'The Council', who are all direct representatives of the leaders of the five great powers on Earth.
The council, our aides, and I will act as a nerve center to assist Tamers worldwide who need guidance and support to hatch their eggs.
There are a few things I would like to add that might help you all.
First, we noticed the Monster App has the feature to recharge your phone batteries if your monster is summoned to walk beside you.
This will be helpful to Tamers who run low on power and are unable to find a way to recharge.
A Tamer's phone can be self-repaired by the Monster App if it gets physically damaged. But this repair is not instantaneous.
It will take 24 hours to complete regardless of the severity of the damage.
For those who aren't aware, your monster can interact with the world around it.

My own monster bit me by accident when it was born. So I urge you to treat your monsters with care.
As Fluffals said, they may be the key to our survival, so not think of them as digital programs, or you might get hurt by them. But,
With that said, I hope you will report anything related to the Apocalypse signs in the coming hours. The more reports we share, the more it helps us to survive.
Also, if you find new features in the App the council missed, do not hesitate to share them with everyone.
Whether it be something unique to your monster or the abilities it can execute are vital information to us.
Do not let any tribal or nationalist instincts stop you from sharing this information.
The U.S., Russia, China, India, and the E.U.F. have readied their defense forces to Defcon 3.
Of course, the rest of the world thinks they are pointing their weapons at each other, but we know the truth.
May your gods or luck keep you safe]
"Cut! Great job, Mash. You are a natural at public speaking."
A beautiful young woman in a white coat with long raven black hair, fair skin, and dark glasses hands Mash a bottle of Miracle-Tonic water and a hot towel. An I.D. card is clipped to her lab coat.
{Tamer Council Member- Rebecca Lawman - Representative of the President of U.S.A.}
Mash. "Thank you, Rebecca, though I worry if non-English speakers will understand my message."
Rebecca. "Don't worry about that. The Butlers on their phones will automatically dub over your recording in their native language. If you have to worry about something, it is if the Monster App users force their butlers to share Tik-Tok style videos with everyone."
Mash. "Didn't that get internationally banned? I remember it had something to do with people eating broken glass as a challenge to get views!"
Dale. "Yes, and now we gave everyone a path to revive that insanity."
Mash. "How is Melani handling the revelation of why we are here?"
Dale. "She is still in denial and thinks I dragged you into a cult that believes in a worldwide apocalypse."
Rebecca. "I had to sedate her with a tranquilizer dart to stop her escape attempt out of the Bunker."
Mash. "A Tranq dart? Why do you carry one around?"
Rebecca pulls out a small handgun that is loaded with darts.
Rebecca. "If I am going to be the only single woman in this Apocalypse bunker, I should have a tool to protect myself. Your wife is sound asleep and won't wake up for a few hours, so none of us will have to deal with her for now."
Mash. "Still, I don't see how my marriage will survive if the apocalypse doesn't happen. We got hitched last year, and it was mostly out of convenience."

"Worry about the end of the world we know and not your doomed marriage, Mash."
An Indian man who had an uncanny resemblance to actor Ayushmann Khurrana said as he approached the group. An I.D. card is clipped to his black jacket right chest pocket.
{Tamer Council Member- Soma Nathan - Representative of the Prime Minister of India}
Rebecca. "Says the man who has three divorces by the age of Twenty-nine,"
Soma. "The first one was arranged, the second was love, and the third was convenience. None of them lasted when the trust was shattered. I am more experienced at this than all three of you. So trust me when I say I see no future for Melani remaining with you even if there is an Apocalypse."
Mash. "What do you expect me to do? Let her out into the Alaskan wilderness in the middle of winter?"
Soma. "You don't have to be so cruel. Just send Melani home. I can arrange my transport drone to drop her back at the airport. "
Dale. "There is hardly any time left before the apocalypse begins, Soma."
Soma. "Then I guess we should go to the comms room and find out if she was right about us all being crazy doomsday cultists."
They soon enter a dark room filled with holo-screen displaying news channels worldwide. The other council members are engaged in a discussion in front of the screens. However, they stop when Mash and his group enter the room.
"Bravo, Mash! That was an inspiring message."
{Tamer Council Member- Markus Leiner - Representative of the Chancellor of E.U. Federation}
"You wrote all that yourself?"
{Tamer Council Member- Zao Han Fan - People's Republic of China}
Mash. "Nah, my aide Dale wrote it for me."
Dale accepted the acknowledgment from Mash and thanked the other council members, who gave smiling glances at him.
"I wish I could trust my aides with a speech like that. But, unfortunately, they are just bodyguards with not many skills other than killing people."
{Tamer Council Member- Sergei Krasnatov - Russian Federation}
Rebecca. "At least your father gave you killer bodyguards. My uncle made me bring his twin sons. I actually feel I am just babysitting for the true representatives since they keep ordering me around."
Zao. "Comrades! Pay attention to the holo-screens. It seems like New Zealand will be among the first to celebrate the start of the new year."
The Holo-Screen showed a count down to the New Year. When it reached Zero, a brilliant array of fireworks exploded. Music and drum beats filled the streets, and reporters commented on the joy on people's faces as they admired the fireworks in the sky.
The group stares at multiple screens as the eastern countries greet the new year with fireworks.
Mash. "Come to think of it, Fluffals never specified where or when it all starts other than the day. So it could probably be at the end of the day or in some secluded place away from civilization."
Zao. "I don't think we have to worry about that anymore."
Dale. "What makes you say that, Zao?"
Zao. "Look at the news coming from Beijing."
The news reporters were panicking and pointing at the sky above the city. The clouds turned into a whirlpool before a thick pillar of pink light shot out from the center of the vortex and fell into Tian'anmen Square. An explosion of light burst out from the impact site, and all footage from Beijing got disconnected.
Soon every other channel switched from the New Year celebration to discuss what happened in Beijing. Everyone stood stunned by what happened before Soma pointed his hand at the news coming in from Delhi.
Soma. "It isn't New Year in India yet, so why is it appearing there?"
Rebecca. "Maybe Fluffals doesn't think that detail is important?"
Dale. "The Pink light is only targeting the major cities of the great powers. Maybe the rest of the country is fine. Can you two contact someone living in the countryside?"
Both Zao Han Fan and Soma Nathan pulled out their phones and ordered their Butlers to connect with their loved ones in other parts of the country, but the lines were dead.
'Ting' Sergei pulled out his phone and read the message he received.
Sergei. "No... It is not just the major cities. The same vortex has appeared above my father's hunting lodge in Siberia."
'Ting' this time, Rebecca received a message. She stared at her phone and almost dropped it because her hands started shaking out of fear.
Mash. "What happened?"
Rebecca. "Air Force One... they lost communication with it. It was is in the air above New York."
Markus. "I need to call my brother before-"
Markus stopped when he saw the Pink pillar of light fall on top of the E.U.F. Headquarters in Brussels. Then Paris, Berlin, London, Rome, and other major European cities faced the same fate one after the other.
Markus. "This is madness!"
Dale. "Is there another way to see what's happened to those cities?"
Rebecca. "I will pull up all live satellite images over the hit cities."
Rebecca then ordered her Butler, who also controlled the Bunker.
The Holo-Screens switched over to views from space which showed the skies above the five great powers being covered by a blanket of hurricane-like whirlpools so thick that cameras on the satellites could not zoom through them to see the surface.

The Depths of Magic
Synopsis It's the year 2052 and the release of the new next-generation full-dive VRMMO game called The Depths of Magic is hitting the world by storm. The game's technology will surpass all other games before it and shock the masses. Hector who goes by the name Locke inside the game is an experienced player of the genre. He is looking to continue his goal of enjoying gaming as well as the competition that goes along with competing for the top ranking spots. Novel Summary The Depths of Magic is a LitRPG novel focused on a Fantasy VRMMO setting. This is not a harem novel. In-Game systems The Depths of Magic features state-of-the-art technology never before seen in Hector's world. The key system the novel will bring up often is the Second Brain. The Second Brain system is more like a guidance AI for the players in the game that acts as if you had a second brain assisting your every action. How much guidance this AI will give is based on its experience or mastery skills a player will receive in the game. The guidance is seamless to a point where a player won't even realize they are being assisted, it's will feel like what they are doing is something they could always do. However, once they leave the game it will become quite apparent that they were receiving heavy guidance. The purpose of this system in a writing sense is to explain why a player can realistically become more powerful, more agile, or more skilled than they would otherwise be able to as a human. To give an example if someone could move faster than a bullet, how would a normal human brain be able to perceive and control this movement properly. Or how could a player who has never held a sword before become as experienced as someone who has trained with the sword all their lives? The magic system will be another focus of this novel. I don't want to spoil anything here but it should be an interesting one. The hope is that the system I have made will spark discussion between the readers on what combinations will do what. I already have most of it, but it will be fun to read as the author. Side notes My general focus for this novel is to attempt to make the in-game systems make sense. To give a vague example I have read a lot of novels of this genre and some have the habit of just creating such powerful items that it just breaks the system, and somehow the MC keeps finding challenging situations even with those items. What tends to happen when I read a novel like this I just ignore the stats of the items he is getting because the numbers don't even matter anymore. Release schedule: The chapter release schedule due to real-life complications is to release as I write them. Patreon setup: 1 chapter early release/discord access. Free content up to the current chapter includes an excel sheet that contains Locke's current stats at the end of the chapter. This is extra information for those that are interested.
