<p> "Hi, my name is Alexis," I say into the camera, as I attempt to calm my nerves. </p> <p> "And I'm Sab," I hear my best friend say from beside me. </p> <p> "I'm trying to focus," I tell Sab as I look into the camera. Will anyone even watch this? </p> <p> "What, just cause I didn't get sent to another world where magic and dragons are real, I don't get to be a part of this?" she says. I can hear the hurt in her voice. I really wish she'd been there. Things might have been... different. </p> <p> "I said I was sorry. It's not like I knew I was going to be kidnapped by the system." I lamely apologize. She deserves more, but this is important. </p> <p> "Coming soon, to an earth near you," she might be making light, but I can hear the fear in her voice. </p> <p> "It's not funny Sab. It really is coming," I can't help but reply to her words, even though I know she didn't really mean it. </p> <p> "Come on Lexi, it's a little funny." she says while chuckling nervously. </p> <p> "Sigh. Look, can we just get back to telling them?" I ask, pointing at the laptop. </p> <p> "Sure, but first you should show them some magic," Sab says while waving her arms around. </p> <p> "I told you. It's not that simple. I only showed you because you could tell it wasn't fake. They'd just think it was special effects," or come after me and try to lock me in a basement. </p> <p> "Yeah, well they're not going to believe you anyway. It sounds pretty crazy, even to me. And I've seen what you can do," she proclaims. I didn't think it was that special, but she was really impressed by my magical abilities. </p> <p> "Maybe, but I have to try. We don't have much time left," I state as I stop the recording, before starting a new one. </p> <p> "Hello, my name is Alexis," I say projecting as much confidence as I can at the little camera. </p> <p> "Remember, the world ends on a Tuesday." </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> *This is a litrpg, with attempts at humour, a bit of psychology and a lot of magic. This is a "System apocalypse" novel where the protagonist is sent to another world prior to the apocalypse. It will almost exclusively follow the perspective of Alexis as she makes her way through her journeys. </p> <p> Guaranteed updates on Friday. 90% chance of updates on Tuesday.
