Bang! A loud bang was heard after Simon shot one monster around the area causing monsters to head where they had heard the noise. Simon immediately jumps from the 2nd-floor building and runs as fast as he can toward where Hero and Peitho are. They tried to make a way from a small city where Hero believed Valerie was staying. "Good job, Simon." Simon gave him a thumbs up causing Hero to smile and tap his shoulder and move. Peitho followed his brother and Simon did it too. They were now walking wandering their eyes around. The city appears to be like a ghost town. No monsters. No people. This added to support Hero's conclusion, Valerie is here and that is why there are no monsters here as monsters were afraid of her presence. She is protecting her soon-to-be palace. "Wow, this is the first I've seen a place with no monster except at the entrance." Peitho was amazed and ran everywhere and was shocked to see the skeleton of a young child causing him to feel sad. "That guy must have b
"It is already four, you guys should find a place to hide. Don't worry we might be the weakest and smallest community but we can assure you that our territory is the safest of all." Kalvin spoke and started walking. Hero started to walk as well and follow Kalvin. Simon and Peitho look at each other and decide to follow Hero as well. They were walking for minutes now and right after Kalvin opened the door, they went to another door and saw a big gate. "Not bad," Simon whispered and all of them went inside. There they saw only twenty members holding their weapons and when they finally saw that it was just Kalvin. "Why did you get out? I told you to stay here didn't I!?" An old man scolded Kalvin, touching his head as he was stressed about Kalvin but the guy just shyly giggled and scratched his head. The old man looks at Hero and the others from head to toe. "You must be new here in this city? Are you hungry? I can serve you." Kalvin immediately went to the old man's side and spoke.
It is already evening and Hero is busy consuming all the gems that he had taken on his journey. Simon also did it in his bed. The three decided to share the same room but different beds for safety. Hero was worried that there might be someone who would attack them and it was hard to find each other one by one in a foreign city. After consuming all of the gems, Hero decided to sleep. Placing the useless gems below the bed. Simon also did it but he could not sleep. He was thinking about who is that monster and is curious about him. Even about Valerie that Hero is talking about. Without hesitation, he decided to get up and walk outside to see the monster that they were talking about. He looked around and saw that their hiding place was peaceful. It means the leader really knows how to find a place they could hide. When Simon is finally out of their hiding area, he chooses to bring his dagger and not his rifle. In case of emergency, he could use it to protect himself. He walks and tries
Hero just shuts his mouth and slaps Simon once again. "That slap is for taking yourself in danger. You almost died you dumb shit!" He then stood up and walked away leaving Simon behind. Simon clenches his fist after what Hero has said. He is disgusted by himself. If it weren't for Hero, he would have probably died right now. He shook his head and helped himself stand up and went to their room to sleep. Simon woke up because of Hero and Peitho's voice. He slowly opens his eyes and looks at the siblings arguing about something. When Peitho saw Simon that he is finally awake she immediately ran towards him and choked him. "You dumb! The people here are blaming us now because of you!" "W-wait, what are you talking about!? C-can you stop choking me!" Peitho stops what she did to him and glares at Simon. "What the hell happened?""Do I need to punch and slap you so you can remember what you did last night?" Simon shut up after remembering how he saw the monster close up. His body shivers
All of them had now finished eating their breakfast and they decided to go to where the bodies were hanging from the pole. Sir Pancho was with them in case of emergency. "Are you really sure you want to go there? Members of the two groups will go there for sure. I am afraid for your safety." Hero looked at Sir Pancho while they were walking. "We are fine, Sir Pancho don't worry about us too much. We can handle ourselves." Sir Pancho looked at them with disbelief and shook his head. He thought Hero and Simon were just too arrogant just like the other kids in the City but he was mistaken. They left Peitho alone with Kalvin in the hideout as they had just gone there for a minute. When they have arrived at the area, the people sense them causing them to look at them. One named Edric stared at Hero when he sensed something in him. Edric is one of the awakened people in Paul's group while on his side, Robin is one of the awakened people in Almond's group. "You," Edric speaks as he keeps
They are now at their hideout and both Hero and Simon now preparing for their departure to go to the station that the two men stated. Sir Pancho was looking at them as if he was trying to block their way to go to the station. "I am sorry, sir Pancho but this is for the better. Valerie won't keep you say forever." "I am not here because of that. I am here to stop you as I am worried about your safety. You may have some superpowers just like the others but you can't guarantee that you can get out there alive. Other than that, the two groups will surely stop you from doing it. They have been hypnotized by the message. The monsters are not your only enemy but also the people here in this city, aside from us, Hero." He thought about it but his decision was already decided. Instead of just hanging around with them, it is better to move immediately, or else it will also be over for human existence. He needed to kill them one by one. Hero was about to speak when Peitho was standing in fron
"You are a monster!" All of the people around them look at them when Daniel points to Hero. "He is a monster! His eyes were those of the monsters!" Dani repeatedly speaks as he keeps on pointing his eyes. Hero calmed himself which made his eyes come back to their original form. "Get away from me before I could kill you." All of them started running away followed by Daniel but Aamon just kept on staring at him as he clenched his fist and decided to stand up and walk away from them. He stops again and speaks. "I will make sure to beat you soon, Mr." Hero looks at him until Aamon now finally out of their sight. "Y-you're strong and cool Hero!" Only Kalvin was the one who spoke and cheered for him causing him to shut his mouth. All of them were looking at Hero worried and scared. When Hero looks at them, most of the people in their group move a step backward trying to get away from him. Hero shook his head and left. "B-brother!" Peitho shouted and ran but Simon stopped her. "I need t
The monsters' roaring and creaking voices could be heard. Blood splattered the ground, with intestines and people's heads rolling around as monsters devoured the dead bodies. Hero slid his sword, killing the monsters around him. He continuously kills every monster that attacks him. Everyone was killed, including his sister; their limbs and intestines emerged from within their bodies. It was all his friends. Died at the hands of monsters while attempting to defend themselves and fight against higher-ranked monsters. He jumps backward and lands on top of a bus near the area. A swarm of Bonewraith flying monsters is heading toward him. He dropped his sword and stared at the monsters flying towards him. He kneeled and gasped for air, staring fiercely at the monsters. "I give up," he muttered and closed his eyes, looking down. "I can't fight anymore. I am surrounded. The Queen had already called for backups to protect her and her eggs. How could I be able to fight them alone? Fvck it!" h
