About 3 hours went by before the power came back.
How do I know?
Duh, 'cause I have a phone. What century are you living in? Are you dense?
Woof!
You're right, Zeus, I should check out what's going on.
Alright, TV, do your thing and stand in for the internet when there's no other option.
So, the power's back, but still no internet, after all. I know because the holy lights on the sacred monument, also known as the router, aren't all blinking.
That's proof God isn't on my side.
Is it because I haven't offered a proper sacrifice? We'll look for a virgin later.
By the way, no matter how many times I opened and closed the window, the planet in the sky showed no signs of disappearing.
I also noticed some disturbing things like golden lightning bolts here and there, explosions of who-knows-what cosmic energy, and stuff like that.
But I'm not worried. As a gamer geek, I get it.
What my eyes are seeing is wrong. After all, I can't trust reality.
That's why I'll look for a reliable source.
The internet… But since it's not back yet, I can at least watch the news. It has about as much credibility as a politician.
But they should at least show some images that help me understand why my eyes aren't working right.
With that firm conviction, I turn on the TV.
[A few hours ago, a light suddenly enveloped the entire city and a new planet with an appearance similar to earth appeared in the sky.
No one knows exactly what is happening, the authorities have yet to make a statement, but...]
[KYA AAAAAAAAAA!]
[Help, please, save me!]
[Run, run!]
[NOOOOOO!]
[MY LEG, IT ATE MY LEG!]
Just as the reporter was in the middle of her speech, the camera suddenly swung away and focused on a bunch of people screaming and begging.
The people in question were being attacked by… Wolves? Ants? Are those wasps? Some goblins? Did I just see a goblin? Somebody call Goblin Slayer!
[As you can see, this is not the time to worry about those things. For several hours, dozens of strange creatures like these have appeared all over the city and are attacking people. We don't know what they are, but what we can say is…]
The TV lady seemed to have more to say, but I turn off the television.
[See? You can't believe what they say on the news.]
Woof!
Zeus seems to agree with me. That reminds me, I haven't given him his food.
[Help meeee!]
[Noooo!]
[What is that thing?!]
[Police, call the police!]
I hear screams from outside my window as I'm thinking about Zeus's food…
[Sounds like someone doesn't know how to control the volume on their TV shows. I'll complain to the police later.]
Woof!
And so I decided my next move would be to make lunch for myself and Zeus.
It's obviously the only logical course of action.
