Back From the Apocalyptic Future 037 - When The Rain Comes Down
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 038 - The Boss Appears
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 039 - The Doping Effect
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 040 - How A Hero Dies
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 041 - The Price of A Hoax
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 042 - An Old Man And His Ego
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
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 043 - Ignorance
Arifin suddenly wakes up with a mad face, letting out his rage and releasing a strong killing intent to his surroundings. Silvy is immediately fainted by the pressure, while Grace is shaking in terror. The others are just silent with pale faces, not knowing what they are currently experiencing. And Arifin, he just stares around flatly, looking so pissed off by something. He notices Silvy laying on the other patient bed next to him. But he just thinks that the girl is sleeping, and then averts his attention to somewhere else. “The sword?” mumbles Arifin as he finds his katana next to him. “Where is the scabbard?” “Um, we’ve tried to look for it, but…” Tony replies in stammered, not even able to finish his words. Arifin then walks out by dragging his sword. He looks so weak with glazed eyes. But those adults are so terrified as he walks past them. He stops right beside Prof. Harun, and then turns his face toward that old man flatly. He is just silent there for a few moments. …. “
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 044 - Andrew's Making His Move
The man isn’t conscious while sitting tied to a chair. They didn’t tie him that tight. It’s clear he won’t be able to stand up due to the deep wounds Arifin left on his both thighs.Even the wounds only received minimal care, and only were wrapped in bandages just to prevent infection. Nothing more.Ronald pats the man’s cheek so many times to wake him up, until the man wakes up in aghast with a terrified face.“Aaah! Please, don’t kill me!”Ronald scrunches up his face, thinking that this person might have been tortured for interrogation. However, there are absolutely no signs of torture on the person.“Where? Where am I?” asks the man looking around cluelessly.Hannah comes to Ronald and whispers. “Could it be that he was unconscious when they brought him here?”Ronald then unties the man. “Can you get up?”“No way! That kid punctured me on both of my thighs.”A moment later, two of their friends come to inform them that they have secured one of the trucks which belonged to those fa

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

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
