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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 030 - A Quest Based On the Grudge
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 031 - Don't Let Anyone Has Him
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 032 - Don't Blame Me!
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 034 - Bet Your Life
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 035 - The Massacre
[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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 036 - From A Freak To Psycho
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

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

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

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

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

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

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
