Being able to understand his unique ability from the first day gives Arifin a distinct advantage.He can control it. So his mind is no longer burdened all the time like in his previous life.Now, without that kind of burden, he can train his body normally. And just like the previous morning, he does his daily training menu with Tony following him jogging from behind.“It needs time until you really get used to it,” says Arifin.“How long?” asks Tony.“Maybe weeks, or maybe months.”Arifin turns back as he continues jogging, and observes Tony’s condition. This is already the last lap for his 10 Km running. And it seems like Tony can cope with it just fine.“Last week, you didn’t think you could cope with my training menu. But look at you now!”“Yeah, I can’t believe it myself,” Tony affirms.“Well, not all the awakened people will get the same advantage. Like me, who is awakened mentally, didn’t gain this kind of advantage.”Not long after, Tony is already starting to overtake Arifin w

Those heartless words only make the man even angrier. His breath getting shorter, can no longer hold back his anger.“You son of?”Arifin nonchalantly knocks the man once with his repulsive force. But then he deactivates the barrier and accepts the man’s challenge.“If you really want to see your kids that badly, feel free to enter my reach.”He deliberately lets out his killing intents. Mr. Nasir notices the dark aura engulfing Arifin waving slightly. He even feels an odd chill.Not only Mr. Nasir, but that man is also losing his courage. His face turns pale because of something he doesn’t understand. The same with the other people near Arifin.Tony holds Arifin’s shoulder. “Hey! Weren’t you the one who said enough before? Let’s just ignore these ungrateful bunches.”Arifin picks back the white cloth to shroud his katana. He then continues walking by keeping his alert. Soon after that, those people just disperse.Meanwhile, Elma and Yusuf are more concerned about their daughter. But

Prof. Irwan looks a bit puzzled. He thought that Arifin was killing these people due to his madness and rage. But no, he finds him so calm like the death of 16 men are just trivial matters to him. It’s like he isn’t talking with the naive teenager he used to know, but a veteran assassin. “What do you mean we need him alive?” asks Prof. Irwan. Arifin stabs the man's legs in both thighs, to make sure he would not be able to escape. “They are not soldiers from the national army. They are paid to collect the awakened people. High chances the people who hired them are from outside this country. To know more about them, we need this one alive.” “What do you mean by awakened people?” mumbles Prof. Irwan. “Someone like me.” Arifin then averts his attention to the people that have been collected by those soldiers. “And them!” he continues. A moment later, he notices that there’s someone injured amongst those people. He rushes to check on the condition, and finds a girl lying unconscious i

The university's environment is about 500 hectares, located in the foothills of the Bukit Barisan mountains. There is almost no fence that separates the university area from the forest. In fact, they only installed floodlights around the residents' evacuation points; in the area around the Rectorate Building, Auditorium, and student dormitories. It is quite far from the burial site where Arifin and the others currently are. Even worse, the car that was previously used to transport those fake soldiers’ bodies has already left them. After Arifin and the others get out of the woods, they no longer find that car anymore. “Damn, where did they go?” grumbles Tony. “No good! They must have abandoned us,” mumbles Arifin. “They really hate you that bad, huh?” says Watt with his bitter smile. They are already drenched because of the heavy rain. Even Tony’s bottom lip is shaking by the cold. They look around, but there’s no one else there. This is an old polytechnic campus which is at the

The rain that was so heavy has started to subside. There is still a drizzle that is occasionally blown by strong winds. But the cloud is still quite dense above the city, blocking the sunlight that is going to set on the western horizon. Those three are creeping along the corridor from one faculty building to another. So many glass windows are broken apart. So is the condition of the small gardens around the building. They find the dead bodies of Dilophopapio monsters scattered around everywhere, inside and outside the building, hanging on the broken windows, also on the fences of the second floor. It’s hard to imagine whether Arifin was only luring them away by running around, or fighting them head on. They’ve checked on five buildings from three different faculties. But Arifin is still nowhere to be found. “Crazy! Is this all your friend’s work?” asks Rizal. “Who else,” replies Tony. “Well, I just hope he is still alive,” Watt interferes as he shoves one nasty severed limb on t
