《WriTE Halloween Contest》The Swarm - by RedDragonyte13

It’s been several years since the swarm of bugs came to earth. We thought they came in peace… we were wrong. Millions dead in the first day, only the strongest survived. My name is Vaughn and this is my story.
“Vaughn! We have to get in the cellar! They’re coming!” My wife Lindsay shouted as she grabbed our son, Thomas and ran into the cellar.
I stood there, dumbfounded at what was happening.
‘They said they were coming in peace… those goddamn liars!’ I thought in rage.
I heard the sound of chittering in the distance. They’re here.
“Shit!” I shouted as I ran to the cellar.
We were there for hours.
Days.
Weeks.
They didn’t leave.
We took our chances and ran.
It was a mistake, Lindsay was ripped in half with Thomas in her arms.
I screamed in despair as I fell to my knees. But, they ignored me.
They just crawled past me and ate everyone else.
I was the only one.
The only survivor.
I swore to avenge my family.
My friends.
My sanity.
It took five years, but I finally got enough people together to put up a fight against those… those monsters.
“Now! My friends! We shall go to war against that shit eating swarm! Let’s go!” I shouted to the resistance.
“”YEAH!!!”” Thousands of men and women shouted back.
“TO WAR!!!” I shouted as I opened the door and gunned down two of the giant bugs outside.
The resistance followed suit and started to gun down every fucking bug they saw.
But. It was all for nothing. Even if we killed thousands. Thousands came back.
There’s just too many of them.
Everyone’s going to die.
I’m going to die.
I… don’t want to die.
...I’m not going to die!

I’m going to rebuild!
I’m going to kill every single one of those giant bug fucks!
“RETREAT!!!” I shouted.
The sound of hundreds of men and women running towards me hit my ears.
Then, the chittering.
Every second, dozens of soldiers died.
Until, there was only one left.
Me.
I’m the sole survivor, again!
“Why!? Why am I the only one to survive!?” I asked myself. Not noticing the chittering behind me. Until it was too late.
“Huh?” I said as I felt the mandibles of the giant bugs on my neck.
Then, I heard a crunching sound.
Then… nothing.
THE END.

However, it is you who decide whether that second opportunity counts… This novel revolves around our main character, Chen Murong, who can accidentally go back in time even before the apocalypse period begins to change everything humankind has done. We will follow our MC and see how he and his family react to this second chance to ensure their family and the human race's survival. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current release schedule: 1 Chapter/week on Saturday + extra if I have more time on the weekday If you like my writing, please consider tipping/supporting me on: PayPal: paypal.me/AmateurAuthorPen Patreon: patreon.com/singlehamster I plan to have advanced chapters on Patreon in the future for you to read as well.

I hope to see you guys there! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full background: The story situates in a universe called Gondola, where countless races from numerous worlds and realities are poured in. Our MC's original world, Blue planet (similar to Earth), went through an apocalypse period for ten years and has been pulled through this universe by mysterious force as one of the human race worlds. Unfortunately, the human race is one of the weakest and most feeble races of all Gondola races. However, their sheer number and several allies have helped them escape extinction so far. Regrettably, even though there are many ants, given a sufficient amount of time, the elephant will eventually be able to destroy them all. After 50 years of pointless struggle, almost all of the last remaining humans have been hunted down by some of the strongest undead races of the Gondola, the Skeletons, the Vampires, the Werewolves, and the Demons. The few remaining humans have been found and eradicated. Our MC, Chen Murong, a member of the last humanity group, can escape the hunt from undead races for fifty years. He finally dies under the claw of Lucifer, one of the emperor-rank demons from the undead race. However, he activates one of his time magic spells with his most precious space gemstone at the moment of his last breath. Through the spell, he wakes up alive, back in his home world, and returns to the year before the apocalypse period began.
