Chapter 129: mist
Chapter 129: mist
The river of time moved, unbothered by the trivialities of life...Bit by bit, Amon began spending more time with his wife and daughter.
The couple went on quiet dates, visited places, and deepened their relationship drastically.
It could be considered one of the sweetest periods of their marriage.
When Amon had broken the news that he had quit his job, she was worried. However, after he reassured her countless times, she decided to trust his judgment.
And that could be considered one of the best choices she had ever made.
As time kept passing, and Amon continued spending time with his family, his heart only grew eerily calm.
It was like a lake without a single ripple.
In the blink of an eye, eighteen days had passed.
And there was only one week until the crisis, according to the mirror.
On this particular day, Amon sensed something strange that drew his attention to the skies.
Across the heavens, red spiderweb cracks akin to jagged lightning began appearing throughout the world.
Some called it the calamity. Others feared whatever prospects this phenomenon brought.
Unlike what people expected, the cracks didn’t vanish after lingering for an hour in the skies. Instead, they spread outward even more, as though hoping to submerge the entire world in their deathly presence.
The warm red glow from the cracks cast an eerie chill over the entire world.
’It’s beginning...’
Glancing up at the skies through the window of his house, Amon noticed the phenomenon and thought to himself.
His heart was still as calm as ever as he watched the sight.
After eighteen days, his strength had remained stagnant. However, his fate points had been steadily increasing.
Over the past eighteen days, he had accumulated fifty-seven fate points.
It couldn’t be considered much. However, after acquiring twenty-one more over the remaining seven days, Amon felt it should be sufficient to survive the coming crisis.
"The skies seem... different from normal?"
Walking out of the kitchen was the beautiful Kayla.
Her hair was tied into a neat bun, and an apron wrapped around her waist, outlining her perfect curves, a sign that she had been preparing their dinner.
Noticing the red skies, she felt vaguely unsettled, so she came to see what her husband thought of the current development.
As always, Amon simply gave her a calm smile that reassured her.
"I’m sure it’s nothing. It’s likely just a strange phenomenon..."
Kayla eyed Amon suspiciously.
Something in his tone sounded off.
Unable to tell exactly what it was, she turned back toward the kitchen.
"I’ll be done preparing dinner in a bit, give me some time..."
"Alright..."
Amon nodded and picked up the remote.
The media had already begun reporting the situation to the higher-ups.
On the screen appeared a respected gentleman wearing glasses.
His tone was calm, but one could sense the urgency hidden beneath it as he spoke.
{Reports have shown that this phenomenon isn’t just happening in Metropolis District, but is currently occurring all over the world... Everyone is advised to return home to their loved ones in case anything happens...}
