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
Sadly, two of those foreigners already notice Tony. They are now walking toward the direction where Tony and Arifin are hiding.Arifin just squints his eyes at Tony with so much disappointment. He hides his sword in the bushes, and then gets up by putting on an act like he is trying to help Tony.“Be careful! This place is a bit slippery!”“Oh? Ah, thank you!” replies Tony.Arifin then continues walking toward his house while inviting Tony with trivial chat, until he greets those two gentlemen with an ignorant face.“Oh, hello! Um, what are you doing in my backyard?”“Your backyard?” replies one of them. “So, is this your house? Are you the kid by the name Arifin Tetsuo?”“A kid?”“Oh, sorry! I mean, a boy!”“Or we can just address you as a mister if you’d like,” the other man adds.Arifin just smiles awkwardly while shaking his head. He gets the impression that these two soldiers aren’t that arrogant like the soldiers he used to know.Currently, Arifin’s mom has already been at home
Despite the fact that he is back from the future, Arifin knows that many things happen conditionally. Everything can change if the causes are different. It is clear that the current situation is far different from what he used to experience in the previous life. In the past Zaw Min had never come to his house for recruitment like this. Merely knowing the future is not enough to be able to manipulate history at his will. So many complicated thoughts pop into his head. “Is it possible that Zaw Min isn’t as bad as in my previous life?” “Should I just kill him to remove all the risk. I can just go with them and then kill everyone on the journey.” “Can I do it with the abilities I currently have? They are soldiers from the PUA special forces, of course they are not just anyone.” “Wait a minute! Has Zaw Min experienced an awakening yet?” Arifin's attention is again focused on that quest notifications. Especially the description of the reward “a specific skill rune crystal”. He begins
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
Yusuf groans in pain. He can't help but to let go of Andrew's collars. A moment later, Andrew kicks him on the chest. It sends Yusuf quite hard to the back for several meters until Arifin catches him. The commotion catches people's attention. Those who managed to see what Andrew has done, look gaping in disbelief. Even Andrew himself looks so clueless. He may have a big body build. But he never expected that he would be able to kick an adult that hard. He looks at his hands, and finds it so red and hot. “What the hell is this?” Elma rushes to her husband, whose mouth is already so red with thick blood. Yusuf keeps coughing, and sheds more blood due to the internal injury in his chest. Elma has been fighting with desperation for losing her daughter for two weeks. Now her husband is looking so dire like he is going to die. “No! Dear! Please, someone! Help me! “Calm down, Aunt Elma! He is going to be okay,” says Arifin as he puts two of his fingers, which are holding one blood crys
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
[Side Quest!] [There are 17 armed soldiers trying to hijack those who have potential to be awakened soldiers. Kill them and free those awakened people. At least, let one of those soldiers lives] Reward : - Each slain enemy grants you one point increase to the limit value of all of your physical attributes potential. - A chance to loot all their weapons and vehicles. - Grants you a chance to build your own guild. Arifin isn’t paying much attention to all the descriptions of this side quest. He knows how serious the situation is. He just drops his scabbard, and prepares to fight those soldiers by himself. “Tony! Please take Grace with you. And tell everyone to get away from this place!” The armed soldiers laugh. They think the kid in front of them is just bluffing, playing hero with his sword. But soon, their laugh immediately changes to a confused look on their faces as they see Arifin recklessly running towards them. The sword is already drawn, and it looks like he is so ready
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
