As soon as I heard that sound, my surroundings began to twist and fade. That grotesque, elongated pot vanished. The disgusting makeover bed disappeared next. Then the entire cave crumbled into nothingness.
Everything turned white.
Just white.
As far as my eyes could see, it was all white—an infinite, colorless void. Only I remained. I turned my head upward out of instinct, and what I saw shook me to the core.
It was a sphere.
Massive. Red.
At first, I thought it was the size of the moon—no, it was double that. And it was terrifyingly close, like it could come crashing down any second to obliterate this ghostly world. The moment I gazed at it for more than a second, a stabbing pain exploded in my head, as if the gods themselves had forgotten to close a dam, flooding my mind with unbearable agony.
I collapsed to my knees, pressing the back of my head with both hands to ease the pain. It didn't help.
It was excruciating —worse than anything I had ever experienced in this life… or my previous one. I struggled to breathe, still haunted by the image of that sphere. Just when I managed to gather a single, coherent thought, a red box appeared in front of my eyes.
WELCOME TO SUPREME ARCH APOCALYPSE
The words were splattered with blood. I wasn't imagining it. Bloody Teeth. A mouth grinning. A predator's smile.
The screen vanished, and the white brick I stood on suddenly detached and zoomed away. The further I went, the more I realized just how vast this white world truly was—an unimaginable flat land beyond any metric I could understand. I wasn't a scientist, but even I could sense its enormity.
Then, something miraculous began.
The vast white land started changing. Green spread like moss. Then grey, red, and brown. Water followed—turning into oceans, rivers, lakes, and waterfalls. Mountains erupted, growing higher and higher. It was a world being built before my eyes. I couldn't see the finer details, but I could **feel** them forming—trees, grass, perhaps even living beings. The very notion made every hair on my body stand like soldiers before execution.
I was trembling. But I calmed myself.
Eventually, the land rotated again, shifting into a horizontal position and settling in the void. My floating white rock had turned into a small patch of green grass. And just then, the same blood-splattered red screen reappeared in front of me.
WELCOME TO SUPREME ARCH APOCALYPSE SYSTEM
This time, though, there was an arrow below the message—a way to flip the screen.
Hesitantly, I reached for it.
The screen changed, and what I saw next turned my stomach cold.
I was standing in the center of the screen. Around me were boxes. One of them clearly showed the pants I was wearing. My jaw dropped.
"Don't tell me… no… no no no…"
I had a terrifying realization.
"This isn't just a game screen… this is an inventory system."
A real one.
I was inside a survival game. Not just any game. It felt like ARCH: Survival Evolved. But the name was different… Supreme Arch Apocalypse. If what I am thinking is right then it might be that all the ARCH maps from my RS5 game . If this was what I feared, then...
I was screwed.
My heartbeat thundered in my ears.
I liked the game, yes. But living it? Hell no! I'm not Iron Man! This ain't the MCU where people laugh while dodging missiles. I wrapped my arms around myself and forced deep breaths into my lungs.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
I flipped the screen again.
What I saw was my death warrant.

Was this a fusion of all the games I'd INSTALLED IN MY RS5 ? All the nightmare maps? If yes, then...
GOD HELP ME.
I turned the screen again.
This time, it showed Storage.

+++++++ STORAGE +++++++
(empty)

My soul left my body.
I collapsed. Sulked. Cursed my fate.
After some time, another screen loaded—
Crafting.
---------------------
Map : Thatch x 3 + Fiber
Torch: Flint + Stone + Wood
Pickaxe : Thatch x 10 + Stone + wood
My goal was clear: craft the pickaxe first. I needed to defend myself. Who knows what was out there waiting to kill me?
I know it will not help me a bit but still... What could I even do when my fate is like this
While I was lost in thought, I suddenly felt something pulling me.
At first, it was as if a man was tugging at me… then ten men… then a hundred.
My body couldn't resist.
I slipped, dragged across the grass platform. "What the—" I cursed, fighting the force. "This is worse than that makeover bed! Damn it!"
The pull grew stronger.
I was being launched.
Pulled out of the platform… spiraling downward… straight into the flat land that had just been created.
Into the world of Supreme Arch Apocalypse.
I screamed into the void.
"Oh god, bless me…"
