Chapter 1
Spirit Harvester/Thane
On that day everything changed. The people I knew, all died. As a matter of fact, everyone died except me.I, Clive Belmont, am the only person alive on this entire planet. I didn't get to watch the bombardment. I was mining for resources.So when I got to the surface, I was greeted with a scene that could be said hell.Scorched earth and rubbles. The city I knew was nowhere to be seen. Neither the people.I stood alone. On that pile of rubbles, I stood still, laughing.Many would say that I am abnormal. Abnormal would be kind of them. Freak, psycho, weird, inhuman, monster; I have been called all of this in just my 17 years of life.And look, everyone who called me those, died.I alone am alive. Now a certain question arises.What should I do? What do I do? Should I take revenge on those who killed everyone? Should I sulk that everyone is dead? Should I grieve their deaths?But to be honest, I am not doing any of those.Think about it, they wiped out all of humanity in just an hour
Chapter 2
Spirit Harvester/Thane
As I walk through the destroyed city, I reminisce.The good old days. Just kidding. Life has never been kind to me. Saying that would probably get me kicked right in the face.But it is the truth. I was born in a normal household. With normal parents and a normal life.The only abnormal one was probably me. It happened when I was in grade school.One day, a molester broke in. And he literally broke in.He took our class hostage and everyone was scared. The molester was trying to scare us and was probably aiming for the girls in my class.They were too scared to move. And almost all the boys were tied up. And then he came to me.He was not too tall or big. He was small if I compare him with my father.When he crouched down to tie me up, I stabbed him in his eyes.I had a compass from my geometry box in my pocket.And I stabbed him with that. He screamed. His screaming was so loud that I even felt annoyed at him. So I took the compass and stabbed it in his crotch.He was in pain. No, he

Spirit Harvester/Thane
After camping outside for a night the next morning felt a little too refreshing.Officially a day has passed since that happened. But I feel more alive than ever.Every single day, I used to wake up, depressed and unsure of the future.I was so paranoid that I even locked my door from the inside.Because, my trust in my parents was gone. I never trusted them as they tried to poison me before. So I got myself a job in the mines.The pay was decent but was a little challenging. But then, it gave me an excuse.I used to work overtime to earn a little extra. Then, I would go and eat outside. Most of the times, I would eat outside.Even my parents were delighted to hear that. I gave up convincing them because they were plain terrified of me.Then I got the idea of moving out. Finding a new home and living alone. But fate was not too kind to me.I needed a guarantor. If I asked, my father would have become one, probably.But the problem was that no one would let me rent their place. Because
Chapter 4
Spirit Harvester/Thane
The dog and I are currently on our way to the capital.I say that but we are walking leisurely. The dog is trotting.The day is fine. Roads are empty. No sound of vehicles but just birds chirping and flying freely. No airplanes or flying machines in the sky. It became really quiet but gave an inexplicable sense of relief.The mechanic sounds are gone. Only natural sounds are present. But my inner monologues are becoming more prevalent.I guess this is called loneliness. I am not lonely in the truest sense.But as the only human left, I seek other humans.But the way they attacked us it is impossible for any humans to be alive.I look at the dog beside me. It has brown fur and a pretty common dog like look.Just like those common house dogs the Americans play with.But it is very intelligent. It understands my speech and does everything I tell it to.Calling the dog it is very inefficient. So I stop and take a look at the dog.It also stopped and looked at me. Its eyes saying 'Do you
Chapter 5
Spirit Harvester/Thane
Spending a night in that town was good. I was able to restock. Why the past tense?Because I have already arrived at the capital. The time skip is staple for a story. So I thought I would omit the rest of my journey.Not like anything special happened in between anyway. I just found a few dead bodies and buried. Like usual. The capital is totally a mess. Most humans lived here. So the damage is mostly visible. But fortunately, one place was unscathed.The city center. Though it's the capital, calling it the capital center was weird. So they named it city center.It was the administrative building that oversaw the capital and its inhabitants.But it was mostly automated. A highly computational A.I. program was created so that it would be automated.And not that many humans worked here. So the building is still standing.But the thing I am after is underground.The data center which stores the worlds knowledge is here.But this stuff is classified. You would ask then how do I know that

Spirit Harvester/Thane
Today marks the one month of that. That invasion or should I call it {Extermination} of humanity.Anyway, I am still in the capital. Living in a small house I found unscathed. Probably a new house. The capital built a lot of houses but not everyone could afford them. So most of them were up for sale.This was probably similar. And the house itself is not bad. It had everything from a pantry to bunker.Why bunker? I don't know. Ask the government. Oh…..that's right. The government is gone.I am alone in this whole world. Not alone in a sense. My partner Hazel is with me.For this one month or more like 3 weeks, I have been living here. I have nothing to do. So I studied a little. A little of everything.And I trained. My body and my mind. Both of them have been tempered. My body was not fat. I worked in the mines. So I have some amount of muscles on me. But I built a little more. Trained my agility. A little bit of strength and endurance.Overall my stats went up. This is no RPG game

I should mention the date. About a month has passed. The attack happened on 16 April. Today is 23 of May. A little more than a month. But everyone is gone. Do I have to count? It could be done with the phones. So let's not worry about that.Hello, this is Clive Belmont. I am departing from the capital today to head south. I want to see the sea. So I am taking a bike and a few necessities.My partner is my dog Hazel whom I found on the way to the capital. She really is smart. Helping me always.It's May. So it should be summer. But since the war, the climate has changed.Seasons are nonexistent. Summer and winter are all we have left. But for these two months we get a spring like season.It isn't that hot or cold during the day. But it gets cold at night. I have already left the city and passing through the grasslands.Hazel is with me. I have attached a carrier at the side of the bike. She is sitting there.I think with this speed, I can reach the sea in 4 days.This country is quit

Clive dreams——————I woke up. I find myself in a weird place. This is my bed in my parents's house. Weird! I should be in my house. Anyway, rather than moping on it, I get up. I look at the clock.6 in the morning. I have to report to the mine at 7:30. I have time.I go downstairs. No one is up yet. My parents work till late at night. So they get up late.I wash my face and get ready to jog.I jog everyday for about an hour.I cover most of the city. So I think I run more than 10 kilometers.I have continued this schedule since middle school.So even in high school, I do this.Today is Saturday. School is closed. So I can go to work.After the jog, I get back home. I take a shower and prepare my breakfast.My parents are still sleeping. I have thought about it. Maybe it's about time I get my own apartment.It's uncomfortable being with my parents. Also, the work is going well.I can pay for my necessities with my own money.Let's talk about it later.I go to the mines.It really is
Chapter 9
Spirit Harvester/Thane
I get ready. The guests are finally here. I was getting tired of waiting. I even thought of discovering the world together with Hazel.But then they barge in. Although I was actually slacking off.Now I have to extra careful. They will land in probably two hours.They can annihilate the entire human population in just a few minutes. I don't know their numbers or their actual potential.So I am completely outclassed. I don't know if I can even put up a fight.Maybe I will be killed as well. And this story will end. But this gets me more fired up.My life is at stake. It's getting interesting.I exit my house with Hazel. I should arm myself. Again, I don't know if our weapons would work or not.Their physique is unknown as well.Further action is impossible due to insufficient information.I have to gather knowledge. Now let's try to do things stealthily.I sneak around and pick up some firearms.They would be very effective against humans but they are extraterrestrial life forms.So I
Chapter 10
Spirit Harvester/Thane
Entering the ship I thought that science fiction had come true.But I can't find anything science related.I mean, where is the bridge? And also, it looks like it's made from steel but it feels different.I search the ship. And after a while, I thought of giving up.I mean, I can't find anything. It doesn't look like it has a power source. Then, how the hell did this thing fly?Something like an engine or a reactor should be here.But no matter where I searched, I couldn't find it.Maybe it's hidden.I am dejected. I look at Hazel."Can you find something?" I ask her.She sniffed around a bit and started running.I follow her. And two minutes later, I am in front of a door.This door looks a little different.A little taller than me. Come to think of it, I have searched all of this ship.But, from the outside, it looked pretty small.I believe I have walked over a kilometer just searching this ship once.I ask Hazel,"Do you feel anything?"She nodded and wagged her tail.Maybe she w
