Year 2053, London.

[Breaking exclusive news, the elite system warrior squad has completely eradicated the monsters in Central London. Award pinned]

Narukha smirked sarcastically as he read the news written on the shabby and almost torn newspaper. The writing of the last sentence is not detectlegible because the newsprint is not intact, only torn.

"Damn. The credit don't deserve to fall into their arms. They did what they should do," Narukha muttered while crumpling this torn piece of paper.

Narukha's heart growled like the reaction that always appears whenever he reads news about elite system warrior troops.

Narukha was really fed up because lately he always found news about System Warriors. Award after award they got, while at Narukha's residence, people died one by one due to lack of food distribution.

Narukha sighed as he threw away the origin of the crumpled up piece of paper.

"They are useless. Servants of capitalist people," Narukha cursed again.

To Narukha, they weren't that different from monsters. Cruel, murderous, has no conscience, and no brain.

Their brains are only controlled by the upper classes.

Twenty-three years ago, the first appearance of a monster host. The host breeds into city-destroying monster children. The monster children's regeneration and growth was extremely fast.

In just a matter of days the city became full of destruction and fear was everywhere. Huge monsters beyond reason prowl to hunt anyone.

Unfortunately, the economic condition of the Narukha family has fallen due to being in debt. At the time the incident occurred, none of Narukha's father's friends wanted to help.

As a result, Narukha and his family fell completely and couldn't join the upper class. Narukha was forced to flee to the area of ​​the poor, where there was no heavy protection from the System Warrior troops.

Because of that, Narukha always gets views of people starving to death and being killed by monsters. The poor can't seem to sleep at night.

Full of anxiety and fear.

Also in 2030, the System Warrior government forces only prioritize rescue in the upper-class area.

Assistance for people in suburban areas has only come after nearly seven years. They don't know that the government has actually built an evacuation site protected by a giant wall with sophisticated technology.

All the upper class live there one year after the spread of the monster virus. Narukha realized the sad fact that they were only given permission to stay in areas of the wealthy.

What is even sadder is that the poor remain in shabby, cornered, and unreachable suburbs.

Where Narukha lives now.

"Why does your face look annoyed, Narukha?"

A voice from the right caught Naruto's attention. He just sat on a dull and dirty cardboard mat. Facing his parents with a table without legs in the middle of them.

"It's okay, Mom," replied Narukha.

Narukha's mother, Erna, sighed heavily. He knew of course that Naruto was lying.

"You such a bad liar," said Erna, who trying to provoked Narukha.

Erna had already put away two bowls of used goods and two food packages. A twinkling smile curved across his face.

"I brought food for you," said Erna in the middle of opening the two food packages.

Narukha's father and Narukha were unmoved.

Then Narukha asked, "Was that food stolen again, Mom?"

Erna's movement stopped. For a few seconds, Erna looked at the two packages of food. There was guilt on his face.

"Sorry, I can't get money," Erna said almost softly.

Narukha is tight. It's been almost decades under pressure, but Narukha still find it difficult to accept.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

Next to Erna, Narukha's father looked languidly. He can't do anything as the head of the family. His income only depends on work as a service for electronic goods.

Electronic goods that come from the rich citizens. Unfortunately, lately there's been a lack of service orders for elite electronic goods.

Narukha took a deep breath.

"Fine. I can't make any money either. Otherwise, how are we going to eat?"

No answer for a few seconds. Erna looked at Narukha through pitying eyes. She couldn't do anything for Narukha. 

"I'm sorry, honey," said Erna.

"No problem, ma'am. The most important thing is that we can..."

KRRRUAARRR!

DUAGGG!

Narukha and his parents were shocked at the same time when they heard a roar followed by the sound of something being hit. A terrified scream suddenly appeared, then another roar sounded.

KRRRUAAAA!

Narukha's body tensed. He was silent for a moment, digesting the voices he heard. He felt bad because he felt he recognized the sound of that roar.

"What's going on outside?" asked Narukha's father.

Then the car alarm sounded, one after another shouted.

Then the sound of a car crashing loudly.

Then the screeching and roaring returned.

Narukha's danger instinct kicks in. Narukha immediately stood up and trotted out of her tent hut.

"RUN! RUN! EVERYONE RUN!"

Narukha was a bit surprised when someone suddenly crossed in front of her, almost crashing her. As he stepped further out, Narukha witnessed the sight of people running around in a daze, scared and directionless.

KRRRRRUARRR!

Narukha's eyes shifted to stare at a very large figure, as tall as almost a three-story house. Its body is covered with feathers, wings like a bat with slimy veins popping up, and red eyes that stalk its prey.

'Jeez, a monster... what kind of monster is that?' thought Naruto in astonishment.

The monster almost resembled a bat, but the shape of its mouth was like that of a pangolin. Each step is very slow but tread wide. The two wings were stretched out so that the buildings they passed collapsed under the sweep of the wings.

"Dad, monsters...."

Before he could finish speaking, Naruto's hand was suddenly pulled inside.

"We have to run now!"

Naruto was still dazed. He still couldn't understand why monsters would come to the city behind this protective wall. Haven't they been living well without monsters all this time?

"Narukha, wake up!" Narukha's father patted Narukha's cheek repeatedly.

It was only then that Narukha regained consciousness from his own thoughts. Narukha immediately inched towards the shabby picnic bag, rushing to move the rest of their food into the bag.

From outside the tented hut where he lived, which was wedged between the dull woods, Narukha heard the sound of footsteps from the residents. Several times, screams of pain rang through his ears.

'Damn... damn! Why did they come again?! Why would the government lie about a wall of protection that those bastard monsters can't penetrate?!'

Inside, Naruto was furious. This happened so suddenly. Even Narukha didn't imagine that he would again face the opposite phase with monsters.

Naruto's hands moved so fast as his heart beating faster. Vaguely his ears heard more and more screams of pain, roars, and the occasional thump.

Narukha repeatedly jumped every time he heard a thud, followed by a sound like a pile of broken wood. It was the sound of other residents' buildings being destroyed.

"Narukha! What are you doing?! We have to quickly escape!"

A voice from behind made Naruto jump. Narukha's father came up to her with a look of concern on his face.

"Father, I have to bring as much food as possible," said Narukha without stopping her activities.

Narukha's father looked back, making sure that the attacking monsters weren't close.

"We have to run right now! What if the monster attacks you?!"

"But we have to bring food, Father! Are they going to give us all the food?!"

"Father knows that! But we will die! The most important thing is we have to run!"

What Narukha meant was a system warrior, a special force formed by the government to save residents. But that's bullshit. They will not care about poor people like him.

"Narukha!" Narukha's father raised his voice. "We have to run—"

"HEY YOU GUYS! WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE? QUICK, YOU MUST—AAARGHH!"

KRRRUAAARRR!

Narukha and his parents jolted back when they saw someone who was reprimanding, suddenly torn by a monster's claws. His blood spurted before bouncing to the right until the sound of hitting the car was heard.

Narukha's heart seemed to stop beating. His body tensed. He didn't realize that this tent hut was about to collapse because the monster swung its right wing.

Spontaneously, Narukha's father pulled himself and Erna to hide behind an oil barrel. The roof of their tent hut was torn long, leaving a large hole.

Narukha's breath was pumping fast when he could see the monster was looking at his hut. Like waiting for himself and his parents to come out of the hut, then tearing them to their heart's content. 

From below, a good distance away, Narukha could see drool dripping from the monster's mouth. His mouth was open in a growl, also his teeth were very sharp

KRRRRRR....

Narukha's  running pace slowed down as she realized something was odd. Until he completely stopped running, Narukha watched what happened to the monster.

"GET OVER HERE!"

That familiar voice.

Narukha squinted to take a closer look. He just realized that his parents had come out of the tent hut and were waving at the monsters.

Naruto was stunned. Before he could actually scream out for them, the monsters had already swung their wings. His sharp nails stabbed into the bodies of Narukha's parents, repeatedly tearing them apart.

KRRRUUAAARRR!

"NO, FATHER! MOTHER!"

"Hey! Why are you silent?! You have to get out of here!"

Narukha seemed to lose concentration. The world suddenly stopped spinning. Something stabbed his chest so hard that Narukha gasped.

Then a hand pulled him backwards without caring if Narukha wanted to save his parents.

Unfortunately, too late.

Narukha body was getting pulled away. Several people in advanced armor uniforms came forward, shooting bullets at the monsters' bodies.

They didn't care that Narukha's parents were there, against the monster that almost chased Narukha earlier.

"No, father and mother..." Narukha muttered softly.

"Let go..." Narukha tried to let go of his hand, but he didn't have the strength.

"Let go of me, my parents are there!"

"Your parents are dead, idiot! Do you want to die there too?!"

As his consciousness recovered and he realized that the snapping sound was from the member of System Warrior, damn government troop that arrived too late, Narukha's anger grew.

"DAMN IT, YOU JERK! MY PARENTS ARE DIED HERE! WHY AREN'T YOU COME EARLIER?!"
