Back From the Apocalyptic Future 022 - Saturday, 13th
Arifin doesn’t give her any answer. Not because he doesn’t care about her safety. It’s simply because Minda’s house is just like his, located in a safe area. And he knows that Minda will be in her house, keeping that coffee shop just like usual.About the others, he feels like there’s no way to convince any of them. But he still leaves a message on the board every time the class is over.[Saturday 13th, stay away from the city center, especially in the coastline and estuaries area, downtown, and the northern border area towards the airport]He leaves the classroom last, leaving the note so others will see it the next morning. Only four days left before the fall of the meteor, and indeed there is nothing else he can do.Even just leaving that message is already making him the target of mock and insult. Again, he becomes the subject of ridicule and contempt anywhere he walks, although no one dares to directly bully him.The only one who still treats him normal in the classroom is Minda,
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 023 - Not A Laughing Matter
Or that’s what he thought. Unbeknownst to Arifin, whether he confessed or not, Andini is still going to visit that site near the coastline. Even in Arifin’s previous life, Andini had already had a date with Andrew. She only invited Arifin only to prank him. The same with the current timeline. She is now having a date with the same guy, Andrew Kurniawan, right at the Siti Nurbaya bridge. But the situation is a bit complicated, because she is having a debate with her boyfriend. “We’ve only been here for 10 minutes, and you're already asking me to take you home? Are you insulting me?” “No, I didn’t mean to…, why don’t we just move to another place,” Andini insists on asking Andrew to leave that place. “What is this now? Don’t tell me you are believing in that stupid freak’s joke? Really?” “But…” “Okay, fine! Why don’t you just leave by yourself. Go to him, and go suck his dick as much as you want.” Suddenly, Andini slaps him in the face. Andrew even tries to pay her back. But he ho
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 024 - An Awkward Meeting
Both Tony and Cindy are still looking so out of place right now. Especially Tony, who starts getting curious about how Arifin was able to predict that incident. And about the last thing Arifin said to Prof. Irwan… “Man, what did you say?” asks Tony. “What you’ve gone through? What do you mean by what you’ve gone through? Don’t tell me… Have you experienced all of this before? How?” Arifin just averts his attention away, looking above to the sky. Despite the fact he already knows that there will be another two hours before the next meteor hits the city, he still looks up to the sky like he is anticipating it with a gloomy face. He stays like that for so long. Until Tony starts to be impatient by him. But then, just before Tony voices his confusion, Arifin suddenly talks a bit about his previous experinced in that exact same spot, in the exact time in his previous life. “Yes, I've gone through this exact same thing before. That day, I was here crying over my helplessness. I cried her
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 025 - The Living Blood
Most of the places in the western part of Padang city have been wrecked, both by tsunami and also that one meteor. Not a single life is seen around this area anymore. Until then, some strange creatures emerge from all the cavities on the surface of the meteorite. They look like hairless dogs, but in the size of donkeys. Their canines are sharp and big, the same with all their teeth. There are strange fins behind their head which can close and expand freely. And the tips of their tails are looking sharp and solid like ivory, and most of their backs are covered by exoskeletons. There are also two tentacle-like antennas on both sides of their heads. These antennas raise up and move slowly like they are trying to scan their surroundings. Just as these antennas receive some signal from some living creatures nearest to them, all of them avert their attention to the same direction. Soon after that, they move so fast leaving that meteorite, like hungry wolves hunting their prey. *** Arif
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 026 - Dilophocaballus
But soon, another two meteors appear, in similar size with the previous one. It shakes those people’s attention. Arifin immediately pulls Silvy, and takes her to behind the building and keeps her there.The others also follow him in a rush. That’s when Arifin explains to them about the phenomena of the rise of awakened people because of those meteors.“Then, why do you prevent me?” asks Silvy. “I also want to have a unique ability like Grace has. Don’t you see how convenient it is to have such ability?”And then…Booom!!!Those two meteors hit the city in the northern area near the airport. But these people seem like they no longer care about it anymore. They are more concerned about the awakening that Arifin talks about.Arifin just replies with a bit of impatient tones. “There’s no convenience in having this kind of oddity. You are going to be an object to be exploited by those who have interest in your oddity.”He then averts his attention to Grace. “If possible, never let anyone k
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 027 - The Poisonous Girl
They may look like horses. But Arifin knows so well, they are much more aggressive than packs of wolves. At least, he knows something that these creatures don’t like.“Tony! Go with those officers and look for flashlights! I’ll try to make them busy!”“A flashlight?”“Yes! Anything with 2000 lumen is fine. These creatures have sensitive eyes to high intensity light.”At the moment, the entire city's electricity supply and its network are down. Most buildings have wrecked so badly.At least, there are a few streetlamps powered by solar panels. They are still on, but this is not the kind of light Arifin asked for.The rest, only the flames from the burning cars provided some illumination other than the clear sky full of stars. And Arifin has to fight all those nine monsters in this condition.Despite that, he has already quite adapted to fighting in the woods the last few nights. So he still can react to the incoming attacks.One of those cops looks so annoyed, approaching Arifin to sho
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 028 - Too Late!
After learning some information about the weakness of Dilophocaballus, those officers share about it to the other police stations through radio. But then they receive news that the monsters that have been attacking residents in other locations are now running away to the forest area.[I don’t know why. They just behaved strangely, and then abandoned us]“What about the situation over there?”[We..., we couldn’t even save anyone here]“What? How many of you left?”[There are only eight of us. And most of us are badly injured. I’ll try to check on the condition first if there are still survivors around this area]That one cop puts down the radio with a desperate face. He looks so tired and pale with a face wet with the cold sweat. There is also that symptom in his face like it’s burning from under his skin, albeit not too clear.He has contacted every police station in the city. All of them gave similar feedback. Only his sector alone looks far better than the rest.A cop enters the off
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 029 - Pacific Union Army
After two weeks of meteor fall, more than 150 thousand people have been confirmed dead. The number of survivors recorded at five evacuation points doesn’t reach 70 thousand lives. The police, SAR, and army soldiers are still searching for victims in the ruins of cities. The condition in the several neighboring sub-districts isn’t better either, especially the small town that was hit by two meteors. While the death toll of the people affected by the radical radiation is still increasing each day. There has been no assistance from the central government, because similar disasters are still happening in other provinces in Indonesia. Likewise with other states that are members of the Pacific Union (PU). And Arifin, he is still trying to hunt a few of Dilophocaballus in the jungle, to minimize their number as much as possible. At least, he isn’t entirely alone. “Arifin! Where are you, man?” [Sorry, I’m busy right now. These monsters are stronger than the last time I fought them] “Just

121 - Give Me Your Soul (Extra)
Meanwhile, in Westerpark. It’s a place that used to be a famous picturesque working-class neighborhood in Amsterdam. But it has been wrecked havoc by the alien monsters, and not so many people are still alive there right now. But there is still one beautiful mansion standing tall on one hill, with high concrete walls protecting that 2 hectares area. In fact, there’s only one family living in this area consisting of only four people. There is one underground lab right below that mansion. And there is one man in his white coat looking so desperate in front of his personal research book. “No, this is not what I want,” he cries slowly, grabbing his yellow hair in desperation. He leaves his desk, approaching one monitor which displays the work of his supercomputer in doing some kind of simulation. Not too far from that monitor, there is a unique wavy dagger with an asymmetrical shape being displayed in a glass case. That scientist only comes to observe the DNA splicing simulation being

120 - The Night Vigilante (Closure)
Arifin also takes a glance at the other one who hasn’t done anything so far, which is Luis the lizard man. That man has grown his tail quite long, and no longer wears any pants at the moment. But his face is so pale, feeling intimidated by just Arifin’s gaze. Even right now, that man isn’t noticing that the bottom part of his body has turned into its beast form. He just turns by instinct, due to the danger he feels after watching how easily Arifin bullied Zaw Min. “So, you are going to turn into a cold-blooded reptile now?” asks Arifin as he prepares to handle that man, who used to be a hitman for the mafia. “But, what’s with that pitiful face?” “Ah?” Luis is shaken from his reverie, and only realizes that all the bottom part of his body has turned into the lizard legs and one big and long tail at his butt. “Well, I haven't had any big expectations from you since the beginning,” continues Arifin as he keeps walking intending to take his leave. At first, he did have an intention t

119 - Disappointment
Those three are just the exact three men who betrayed Arifin in his previous life, especially Zaw Min and Jaidee. Just seeing their faces is already enough to provoke Arifin’s madness which helps him enter his Trance State.“Hey, Zaw Min!” calls Luis as he slowly turns his two hands into the shape of a lizard. “They said we only need to hold him down for an hour. We can’t kill him because the Colonel wants him so bad. Isn’t this an insult?”“Not really! I also want him to join us. You just don’t know what this man is capable of,” replies Zaw Min, who is currently looking so excited to see Arifin for the second time.“Cih! We can’t kill him, huh!” grumbles Jaidee with his annoyed face. “Then, let me handle him myself. It won’t be good if you accidentally kill him with your sabers.”“Stop bickering, you weak ass! Come anytime you want!” Arifin interferes by showing his mad face.Those words effectively make Jaidee so furious. He immediately demonstrates his skills in unarmed combat as a

118 - A Reunion
He can’t simply tell that to Colonel Fermin. Because he doesn’t want to be seen as ridiculous any further.But then when he goes outside, he finds a few soldiers are lying on the ground. The situation becomes hectic as there are a few evil spirits infiltrating this medical area.Thankfully, those three shamans, even though they are not combatant-type of awakened people, they know some ways to repel those evil spirits. After all, they are not too many, since the corrupted aura that Arifin releases is somewhat weaker than usual.For the next two days, few dedemits and evil spirits keep coming during the night. Only in the next morning, Arifin is back to his consciousness.“Oh, you are awake?” One nurse approaches him and checks his condition.“Where am I?” asks Arifin as he tries to get up.But the nurse forces him to stay on the bed. “You've been unconscious for more than two days. You should just rest until you are completely recovered.”“Two days?” mumbles Arifin.He then checks his

117 - He Is Cursed
Mike looks up, and sees Dr. Cohen hovering in the air in his beast form. And the one who just hurt Mike’s chest, Marcus, is currently perching on a branch.“That accent? An American?” asks Mike.“Yes, I’m an American,” replies Dr. Cohen nonchalantly.“Which means you are the people from the Defiance Atlantis,” Mike continues.“Hohohoo! You guess right for the second time. And guess what, our organization highly values beast-type awakened warriors like you. Why don't you join…”Mike doesn’t even let him finish his words. He jumps so quickly after running on the tree trunk, and catches Dr. Cohen off guard.“So fast,” mumbles Dr. Cohen as he holds Mike’s right hand who has stabbed his chest right on his heart.Mike makes a turn and throws Dr. Cohen to the ground. As he lands, three of Dr. Cohen’s men immediately cover their boss.“Javier, we have to buy time to let Dr. Cohen recuperate,” issues Roberto.Both Javier and Marcus intend to attack, but Mike just stands there by releasing a su

116 - The Ritual's Premature Ending
Right now, all the dedemits and evil spirits begin to look mad like before. However, they no longer hunt Arifin, but only the people who have been marked as the target.Some flesh tendrils also crawl to the building, and then pull so many female employees from the second floor, including Naomi.“Dr. Cohen, help me!”Roberto frees her and the other female employees by cutting all of those tendrils. But all of them who have been bitten, are now in the similar situation as Arifin. Their wounds are leaking the corrupted aura, which makes all those demonic creatures so eager to kill them.“Dr. Cohen! What should we do now?” asks Javier half-shouting. “We can’t stay here forever.”It’s not that hard for Javier to deal with the dedemits. But the evil spirit, he can’t even touch them until now. But those creatures have been stealing his life force every time he tries to hit them.There are some balloons made of viscous membrane popping out on that throbbing flesh. It then explodes like pus of

115 - Name Your Sacrifice
The kid then turns silent, waiting for Arifin to reply to his offer. He even draws his ear closer, as if provoking Arifin to plead.Arifin knows that the Grace she loves has already died in the future. And she admits that he hasn’t been that close with this current Grace either.They are still like strangers so far, and he never thought of getting close together with her like in his previous life. Because he doesn’t want to put her in a life full of danger.But he can’t just ignore her after knowing she is still alive. More than Andini, right now saving Grace is much more important to him. At least, to pay back what Grace did for him in his previous life.“Please,” he mumbles with a low voice.“What? I can’t hear you,” says the kid with a kind of childish manner.“Please, help me!”The kid chuckles again with an amused face. “Sadly, I’m just an illusion. There’s no way I can harm them. But that kris can. All you need to do is stab the kris to the ground, and tell the kris what you tru

114 - Ask My Help
Arifin looks so confused, mixed with desperation which starts to resurface in his eyes. Meanwhile, Dr. Cohen is just observing from above, grinning devilishly as he controls Andini’s mind and body.Oddly enough, the other four beast-type awakened soldiers are trying to make the dedemits busy with them, and prevent them from getting close to Arifin. But Javier, as he finds an opening with Arifin is still occupied by Andini’s oddity, slams Arifin’s from the side with his shoulder.>That last collision has left some cracks on two of Arifin’s ribs. He coughs up blood, and his physical condition is also dropping to 14 %.Dr. Cohen flies lower and starts persuading Arifin once more. It’s clear he really has great interest in Arifin and doesn’t want to kill him. He doesn’t care that much that all the facilities that Defiance Atlantis built for him in this place are destroyed, as long as he gets Arifin to join him.“Why? Why Arifin, why? Yo

Four floodlights have also fallen due to the chaos created by these unstoppable demons. More than half of the guards have died too. Those four beast-type awakened warriors have no other options but to help protect the few guards who still survive, while still keeping track of Arifin’s action.As they are busy in that chaos, a few people come out of the building through the main hallway. It attracts Arifin’s attention, and finds Jack and Rizal taking the ladies from the same group as Grace. But there’s no Grace amongst them.“Jack, where’s Grace and Andini?” asks Arifin as he intends to approach them.But his left leg is held down by one dedemit which has lost its legs. He just destroys the dedemits head by kicking it once.“Watt is still inside trying to get them out,” shouts Jack from afar.“What takes him so long?”“Unlike these people, their rooms are locked,” answers Rizal.Their conversation catches Dr. Cohen’s attention. That’s when he learns Arifin’s real reason why he is so in
