Terrestrial Savior Archetype - T.S.A Chapter 0 [Prologue - Earth Apologized]

The incident happened abruptly, at an unexpected moment that no one could have foreseen.

However, even if someone had anticipated it, it wouldn’t have been the kind of event that anyone could have prepared for.

Monday, 8 a.m.

Everyone was so startled that they stopped in their tracks and fell silent.

It was the first time in human history that every single person on Earth focused on a single event together.

Some were just waking up, getting ready for work, while others stood in front of cameras for their morning live broadcasts.

Some were still asleep, unaware that they were about to witness a moment of great importance.

For example, a detective who coincidentally encountered the suspect he had been unable to apprehend for six years on the morning commute bus.

A woman and her children on the brink of death.

But that incident… or rather, that ‘message’ appeared before everyone as if their own circumstances no longer mattered.

It couldn’t be covered or erased by anything.

It was as if a specific program on a computer had the ‘always on top’ setting enabled.

If you brushed your hand against the message, it wasn’t the message that got covered, but rather your palm and forearm disappeared as if melting into it.

If you looked away, the message followed your gaze without fail.

The message floated in the air, devoid of texture and seemingly lacking any mass. It didn’t even let light pass through.

Anyone with even a basic understanding of the laws of physics was immediately seized by instinctive fear upon realizing this fact.

The message stood above all order. Yet, anyone could see that it was transcribing human language.

“Dear residents, I regret to inform you of the bad news. The judgment has been made that our existence has reached its end by the universe. The planet closure process will be carried out over the next 42 days. This decision has been made regardless of my will. I don’t know how you will feel, but I want to live longer. Please follow the upcoming instructions carefully. So far, it has been Earth. I’m sorry.”

I’m sorry…

What could be the meaning behind this apology?

Some humans harbored doubts, but there was no need to entertain them.

The event had just begun.
