-[15 HOURS AGO]
Few hours before, Aiden had come out of his boss room, purple flames on every pillar, giving off a dangerous area that should be avoided.
Aiden sat on his throne, busy developing another monster challenge that would be added to his apocalypse tutorial.
-[Monster Type: Red orcs, fangs and claws, twice the size of an adult human and possess incredible strength]
-[Leader: Grook lv 50 Boss monster]
The holographic image of a monster adorned in a tattered hood and goat-like mask floated in front of Aiden, and a mountain behind the monster with an army of level 20 orcs.
"Hmm... tell me Belle, what do you think? Isn't this boss I created magnificent?" asked Aiden.
"Yes... but how does he grow strong?"
"Oh, I almost forgot," said Aiden. He slid the holograms aside, and a holographic computer appeared, where Aiden began working the magic with his finger.
"So in a connect game I played back at the academy cafe after closing, I usually had hard times battling this quest. Grook is responsible for human ritual. The ritual becomes his experience points, which he uses to level up. So the quest was to save humans, but I never won it... I'll just add it up," said Aiden with a smile.
-[Ding]
-[Weakness: Not enough rituals]
-[Strength: Human Rituals 10/10]
-[Magic: Meteor Orc Drop and Apocalypse View]
-[Weapon: Big Swords]
-[Location: Midtown Mountain]
-[Commandment: Not set]
-[System Reminder: You have not set a command for the developed tutorial boss]
The commandment he set for all was the same: kill all humans would be the only thing Grook would hear or remember the moment he was launched online.
-[System: The Red Orc tribe has been created and is ready to launch]
Aiden cracked his knuckles and stretched from the hard work. "A level 50 Red Orc leader, still able to level up. This should be challenging... Alright system, set the Red Tribe online," said Aiden.
-[Launching The Developed Tutorial Challenge 99]

-[NOW]
"Oh, I'm not a player," Aiden muttered, sending confused looks onto their faces. Then their hearts skipped a beat as he added:
"I'm the Boss."
Xs and Max stared at themselves and then back at Aiden. Max walked close and placed his hand on Aiden's shoulder.
"Look kid, it's probably because you're not among the top players a notification didn't appear. I didn't think low players don't get announcements for even killing a level 20 beast," said Max.
Aiden didn't drag the issue. He realized it was a reckless thing to say, announcing himself as the creator of the ruined world and cause of Max's trouble. That wasn't a bright idea.
"And I happen to have a born hatred for the man behind this madness," Max said that with applied pressure on Aiden's shoulder before leaving him with Xs.
"Hey, your palm is bleeding," said Xs. "Let me have a look, come."
Aiden walked with her inside the broken hospital, where she saw bandages on the floor and quickly wrapped it around his palm. "It must be from the monster's fang. Thanks for saving me though," said Xs, her cheeks flushing red.
"Oh, no problem. Did you find your mom?"
"The red beast took her."
Xs replied with a disappointing nod and her face down. Aiden, on the other hand, looked at the monster, where he saw Max accessing the monster.
'The Red Orc tribe,' Aiden thought. 'That's not good.'
Max stood up, seeing Xs so close with Aiden vexed him and placed it upon himself to split them apart. "Alright Xs, your mother gets in danger with every passing moment."
With that said, three players walked from the alley far from them. The one holding a spear with a calm look and blue hair stared at the dead monster, then at Max standing close beside it.
From how it seemed, the two players behind him were just escorts — one with a big gun hung on his shoulder and the other with two unusual shotguns behind his back.
"Seems they've already got it handled," said the spear user. "I'm Billy, and we were hunting that thing."
Max didn't give them time and just walked towards his daughter, holding her by the wrist and urging them to walk away.
"Let them go," the spear user motioned his boys to settle down because they were about to go after Max and Xs. Then his attention turned towards Aiden.
"I could lead you guys to their leader. They've got a couple of hostages there."
Having heard that, Max and Xs stopped walking, while Aiden still sat on top of the ruined car.
-[System Notification: Warning! Warning! Incoming]
The blue screen caught everyone's attention. Eyes began dancing around each other as if trying to detect who or where the danger was coming from.
"Everybody take cover!" yelled the big gun player.
Split-second reaction, the spear user rolled behind a building and — boom — the spot he was in scattered to pieces. Meteorites began falling from the sky like rainfall.
"Bwhehehe... what a day to go hunting!" the two-gun user yelled, trying to raise his voice higher than the explosions.
Boom
Boom
Kaboom
Explosions from explosions resounded. Buildings were instantly destroyed, and everyone had taken cover — except Aiden, who still sat on the car.
Every building surrounding them was now completely in flames. The beauty of the destruction placed a smile on Aiden's face.
"Is... is that guy enjoying this?" Billy muttered.
"Bahaha... obviously. He's probably used to shit situations like this one."
Soon, the flaming meteorites came with a surprise as hundreds of them began dropping down. Boom. One landed only inches from Aiden, but he still remained unfazed.
Max made sure he protected his daughter under the table while he still used his body as a shield for her sake.
Kabooooom!
Then a meteorite covered in flames landed, then roared tremendously that the flames surrounding him died off. More kept coming, and before they realized it, the red orcs outnumbered them in a messy way.
It didn't take much thought before they all surrendered, including Aiden, Max, and Xs.
"Well, good news, you'll be seeing whoever you're looking for," said Billy.
"Bwahaha... nice one, Bill."
