With his eyelids being heavy from extreme exhaustion, the moment Earl blinked open his eyes, a blinding flash of morning sunlight flinched him again. It was almost around midnight when he jumped off the bridge, so how could the morning come so early? Most importantly, why was he still alive from that deadly fall?
But the absurd sensation of someone touching his ass-cheeks from behind grew clearer, making Earl gasp in shock. When his foggy vision cleared up a little, indeed, he found himself lying on a cozy giant bed, but he wasn't all alone, given that a pair of hands was getting brazenly handsy with him!
"I don't understand it…how could you not even climax for once last night? At such a young age, do you already have erectile dysfunction?"
That gruff, familiar voice almost shuddered his core in disbelief and strong disgust when Earl almost jumped to sit up on the bed, rolling his glare to the side from where the voice came.
And indeed, he seemed yet to hit rock bottom!
He was naked on the bed, but not only he. His mortal enemy, that bastard old boss who had knowingly driven him to choose ending his life, also lay down completely naked, right next to him on that giant bed!
Puffing a big cigar, his ugly ass-grin almost churned his stomach, making Earl gag from glancing at the disgusting sight in the early morning.
Maybe…he was still going through a pathetic dream, right? Or else…how could this awful reality ever be possible?
"Little one, does your back hurt very much?"
The moment the bald pervert tried to grope him from behind again, Earl furiously swatted his palm, glowering at him, "Don't even dare to touch me again, bastard! If you don't want me to break off your wrist!"
"Ohh, feisty one, huh?" He snickered with that exact disgusting smile before climbing down from the bed in slow, steady steps.
After wrapping a robe around his fat, ugly body, he tossed a white envelope at Earl, who was still frozen on the bed, covering his shivering bare body with the white quilt.
Before he could take a look at the envelope, the words written outside of it in bold letters flinched him hard.
'Apocalypse Academy Direct Entry VIP Pass.'
"I know you seduced me last night to get your hands on this limited edition VIP entry pass, didn't you?" He tossed a cunning smirk, emitting another big puff of smoke from his cigar before he said, "Look, I kept my end of the bargain in exchange for your virginity. Are you satisfied now?"
'What is this crazy bastard spouting about? And what the fuck is happening here? If this is all a dream, I should've woken up already…' Dumbfounded by his words, Earl thought, desperately reading the paper inside the white envelope, but was unable to understand a single word that was written in there.
But most importantly, he couldn't grasp this old pervert bearing the exact appearance as his boss, why was he spouting such filthy nonsense?
Indeed, that man was the bane of his existence, but he wasn't a sexual predator who would go as far as to assault another man. If anything, he was strictly homophobic!
The moment Earl stepped down from the bed, his steps froze as he looked at the reflection falling on the mirror. A stranger's face and body were all he could see in the mirror, making him instinctively touch his body to confirm if it was really him.
He was tall, and his handsome, charming face still harbored some similarity to his original self, but his masculine body, abs, and ripped muscles were all gone. He rather saw an extremely charming man, with a lean body but supple enough to attract leechers like this one.
His big, ocean eyes were still the same. But his oval face was shimmering with bare minimal pores, without dark circles as a mark of his exhaustion. Moreover, his porcelain white glass skin made him look more refined than the top-notch young fashion models who debuted at an early age!
His pitch-black hair looked fluffier than ever, covering his receeding baldline. And just from a glance, it was pretty easy to apprehend that this pretty boy in the mirror reflection was barely 18-20 years old.
Wait, does that mean…even after jumping, he didn't die, but rather woke up in a completely new identity? In this new body?
Huh? Didn't it only happen in movies and novels?
While he was still double-checking on his new identity in the mirror, the bald pervert marched closer and suddenly grabbed Earl by his chin, and forced him to meet his creepy smile, "Now that I get a proper look at you under the sun, for a male omega, you sure are a prettier one."
Disgusted by his touch, Earl instinctively swatted his filthy hand away from touching him once again despite his warning, "Didn't I tell you I would break your wrist if you touch me one more time, you bastard? Who the fuck are you?"
"Your contrasting personalities are attractive, too. Last night you were such a tempting minx, and now, you're glowering at me? So cute."
Holding a brazen smirk, the old man started putting on the clothes that were scattered on the floor. But to his surprise, when he started wearing a military uniform, it left Earl flabbergasted as he couldn't comprehend what was happening anymore.
"Well, now that the law and order have collapsed here following that goddamn premonition coming true, Military Chiefs like us won't be of any use either. I did give you the entry pass as payment for letting me taste you, but don't expect the Academy to be easy on male omegas like you. You'll have to endure rigorous training that would feel like death."
He continued prattling those words while Earl stood frozen, still unable to relate to him. "Anyways, downstairs there will be a car waiting which will take you directly to the Academy…but I highly doubt you'll be able to survive there—"
"What do you mean the law and order have collapsed here? How could that happen? And…who are you calling an…omega?"
Earl's quick question paused him for a second before the man tossed a sarcastic sneer at him, "Do you have temporary memory loss or something? The Claudius asteroid hit us a week ago, wiping out the 60% population of us Werans instantly.
"And as the premonition written in our Divine Memoir, an apocalypse following the Blood Moon day would begin any day starting after the day the asteroid hit our hemisphere."
What?
Earl stood flabbergasted at his description, with countless questions steadily rising within his mind.
A giant asteroid had wiped off 60% of the population, but who the hell are Werans? Are we not humans? And…what kind of book would have a premonition written that an apocalypse would begin shortly following the meteor hit?
Still unable to get his head wrapped around the confusing events, before Earl could ask another question, the man emitted another big smoke while putting on his military blazer, followed by a brazen tone.
"If not omega, do you want to be called an Alpha while having that pretty body and face? However, even though government high-ranking officials like us don't hold any power over the law anymore, we can keep meeting in secret like this if you want, little one.
"I can give you some pocket money while you play with Daddy, as well as help you to recover from your erectile dysfunction. So what do you say, hmm?"
This time, a cold, fuming sneer curved his lips when Earl glowered his raging eyes on that bald pervert.
Indeed he was old enough to be his father, but just the thought of that bastard touching him in exchange for a goddamn entry pass, even though the body belonged to someone else…this was still enough to make his blood riled up in fury.
But the only statement that provided him a great sense of relief was that the law and order had completely collapsed there. So…that means, it was allowed to live freely however he wanted, right?
"Do you want to sleep with me again, Mister?"
His soft seductive words spread a wide, shameless grin on his face as the old man hurriedly agreed, "Of course! We can go for as many rounds as you ask—"
THWACK!!
"AAURGHH!"
Before his words could fall, Earl had sneakily grabbed a giant glass vase and smashed it on his head directly.
The old man screamed aloud on top of his lungs, swallowed by dread, watching his head was cracked open with an excruciating pain numbing his senses, whereas on the other hand, Earl stood tall, wiping off the blood splattered on his face with a murderous sneer.
"N-NO! T-The Ambulance…UWAH!" Before the pervert was about to stand up on his own, Earl kicked him in the stomach hard, unleashing his quick moves from the rich experience of practicing judo for more than two decades.
With his leg, he held onto his lower half of the body, which was desperate to escape, and smashed another glass vase on his head, splitting up his skull as a loud cry fell off him before everything went silent.
"You dare to touch me, you nasty bastard, and think I would let you leave in one piece, huh? Now that law and order have collapsed, which means there would be no one to protect filths like you in the world! So die, you bastard…"
"..."
THWACK!
THUD!
"How long since it has been that I wanted to kill you with my own hands!? Finally, I did it! This is what you get for driving me to death! This is what you get for tormenting me all this time! This is what you deserve for pushing that actress to commit suicide, too!
"Die, by my hands and rot in hell, you evil bastard!"
By the time his senses kicked in after being consumed by the murderous rage, he saw that the old man was covered in a pool of blood, dropping dead after he had completely crushed his head with ruthless smashes and hits.
And strangely enough, Earl didn't feel the slightest disgust after committing the first murder of his life, which should've shuddered his core!
Instead, he felt truly reborn, as if a monster residing inside him had just been unleashed!
Watching the bloody sight unfold before his eyes filled him with an immoral happiness, as revenge finally tasted sweeter than honey to him.
If the heavens had granted him a second chance at life in a world that was about to end anytime soon, as a male omega or not, he wanted to write his own destiny without any rules!
But alas, he didn't have a clue of the fateful destiny awaiting him next!
