[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
Cindy doesn't study in the same department as Arifin, and she just got to know him this month since Tony became close to him.Now she is starting to worry about her boyfriend's condition. Because since the incident with the meteor fall, Tony has been living in Arifin's house, which makes her worry that her boyfriend would catch Arifin’s madness.It just so happens that Tony is now approaching her. So she just expresses her objection to Tony, straight to the point, without holding anything.“You, is it okay for you to be a freeloader at someone’s house for too long? How long are you going to stay there living with him?”“What?”Tony looks a bit clueless. He is still holding his belly, feeling like he hasn’t finished throwing everything out.“There are still so many unoccupied rooms at the student dormitory building. We could just stay there,” continues Cindy.“Staying together?” asks Tony with a disbelieving face.Suddenly, Tony spits out a bit of liquid that has been trying so hard to
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
There is no other choice. He just swallows that red crystal, the second one he consumes in a day. And immediately, the system gives him a warning. [Alert!] [You’re consuming another red crystal while the effect of the previous one is still affecting your body] - You will burn twice as many calories as your normal condition. - All your physical attributes will be doubled, except for your stamina. - The effect will disappear after two hours, or when your physical condition falls below 10%. Arifin’s face slowly turns dark red. He feels so hot inside. Even the way he perceives his surroundings is changing too. Those monsters are still slamming his barrier. But now, he sees them moving a bit slower than before. “What the? What’s wrong with me?” Somehow, he sees the gap between their barrages. He immediately deactivates the barrier, and waves his sword from the left to the right in one horizontal stroke. Crasssh!!! That one stroke is so heavy and powerful. It cuts so many of thos
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
Those monsters no longer approach the evacuation area due to the strong rays from the Floodlights. Yet they are still lurking around the empty buildings and the outdoor hallways waiting for the night comes. “So they don't only attack at night, huh?” asks Prof. Irwan. “It's not a matter of night or day. They just hate strong lights,” replies Tony. “Anyway, what about the situation at the dormitories?” “The floodlights around that area have been turned on. But we still evacuated everyone to the Auditorium.” “And Arifin?” “He is receiving treatment right now. They can’t be sure yet about his condition. At least, they didn’t find any wound in him?” “I believe he is just exhausted due to using his repulsive force too much.” “Repulsive force? What are you talking about?” Tony deliberately shows off his ability by releasing a small spark of electricity on the tip of his fingers. But he is doing it by hiding it from everyone else. He simply shocks Prof. Irwan a bit with it. “What was
As soon as he enters the Auditorium building, Prof. Harun sees so many citizens are still alive. They look so fine like nothing happened in this university. Instead of feeling grateful, this old man’s face is only getting even more sour.“I heard those bizarre monsters only come out at night. But it doesn’t seem like it. Hundreds of people have died because of this hoax. You think whose fault is this?” asks that old man.“Who are you going to make a scapegoat for?” replies Prof. Irwan cold.Prof. Harun walks closer to the young professor. “I’ve learned that this is a hoax shared by that kid. Don’t ever think about protecting him anymore. So many people have died because of his antics.”The young professor immediately looks down. Not because he joins in blaming Arifin for the incident. But he can’t forget what he just got when he tried to call his friend earlier.He believes he has his own share to be blamed, for being too late in responding to Arifin’s warning.That old man ignores Pr
