Back From the Apocalyptic Future 087 - Using the Spirit Energy
This is the first time Arifin finds evil spirits able to solidify their state that they can also inflict physical damage. And they easily turn back into spirit state to avoid incoming attack. “Tony, forget about them. Just try to make those dedemits busy!” “Oh, okay!” However, for Arifin who is currently wielding that mystical dagger in his left hand, that situation doesn’t mean anything. That dagger enables him to hurt them even if they turn into their spirit form. And their aggressiveness trying to attack him physically only makes it easy for him to target them. One thing that is different from the usual, is that these evil spirits can’t be killed with one hit like the other days. When Arifin manages to slash them, it leaves something like a burning wound. A part of their spirits are disintegrated into the thin air. But that wound will easily be closed up by other spirits from within. Despite that, they are still hurt. They keep screaming so hard every time they get slashed by t
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 088 - The Devil's Influence
This is the first time Arifin sees someone able to kill the evil spirits by using a kitchen machete. He himself can only do it because of that mystical kris. And he still doesn’t know why only that one dagger can hurt those spirit creatures.Looking at how tired that old man is, Arifin tries his best to not back off. There are still more than 10 dedemits there, and he has to kill them all to end.But old man Acil is not as useless as how he thinks. Despite how tired he is, that old man is still able to evade any incoming attack in the most efficient way. But Arifin is doubting the old man's ability to kill any of them.“Old man, just get back and take some rest,” Arifin issues.“You don’t need to worry about me, kid!” replies Acil as he raises the machete intending to deliver a strike to one incoming dedemit.Arifi
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 089 - Why the Temptation Stops
Acil turns away with an awry expression. He walks in a rush to get to Arifin. Tony also follows him with his own curiosity.But then they find Arifin having a good time, laughing with some of Mike’s men giving light jokes about each other.Arifin looks quite naive with his laughing, which makes Acil a bit doubtful with his worry. But Arifin already notices him, and calls the old man to join him and the others.“What’s wrong old man? Did the evil spirit hurt you somewhere?” asks Arifin as Acil approaches him.That old man just drags one plastic chair and takes a seat near Arifin. His face is still showing the anxiety, due to his worry to be influenced by that devilish item.And somehow, Arifin quite understands why that old man has been so awry to get close to him since noticing about that mystical dagger.“Did you afraid this thing would tempt you to do something?” asks Arifin.“You know?”“Of course I know. The first time I encountered this dagger, I heard a strange voice in my head.

Not getting enough with that thought, he just calls it a day and gets down from the hammock.“I’m going back to my room. Are you coming?” says Arifin to Tony as he leaves.Tony follows him, because indeed he also sleeps in the same room as Arifin, just a different bed of course. And there is a reason why Arifin lets Tony sleep in his room, and Tony quite understands that condition.Arifin always gets a nightmare every time he sleeps. He always dragged back to that ancient shrine, as if he never got away from that terror.Even tonight, he witnesses again how the zombies chew Grace’s beautiful face. But there isn’t that mystical kris. Only him running around in that closed shrine, trying to get away from the zombies who hunt him.It’s always an endless fight, and he will always be found delirious during his sleep. He retaliates so hard, with wet clothes and pale face.That nightmare will persist, at least until the little commotion he creates shakes Tony from his sleep. Only then does T

Now after seeing that Arifin also takes Andini too, she gets some mixed feelings.She likes to get off the truck. But she is just succumbed by her awkwardness not wanting Arifin to notice what she is feeling right now.“Um, she is coming too? Is it okay?” she asks with an unsure gesture.“She needs some changes of clothes, and she wants to choose clothes of her own choice,” Arifin explains flatly.They leave with just five people, all teenagers in Arifin’s generation. Two sitting in the front, while Arifin being the only boy sitting between two girls in the back.Andini is currently able to keep the production of that fume so low just like the other days.

Back From the Apocalyptic Future 092 - When Love Comes Too Late
The next day, in the afternoon, Jack visits that housing complex. He observes that area from a distance by staying in the woods, like he is spying on the enemy.He even makes a simple map, and then marks each point where they installed the floodlights. He goes around the place, just to find a spot that he could exploit. Until he gets to the area behind Arifin’s house, and finds so many people there.“Is this the spot Raden told before? Seems like they do concentrate their men here. They even make some camps around this area.”He goes a bit further to the uphill, so that he can observe the activity inside that housing complex. There he finds that most of the residents' activities are focused on the south, and the east part where Arifin’s house is located.The gate is on the west with a few armed guards watching over that area. The block in the north part looks so quiet, because indeed the house in that area is mostly unoccupied.He watches people in and out of certain houses. As he kee

The feeling is starting to be unbearable. But she still tries her best to finish the meal without leaving anything, just to show her respect for the food they served for her. And then…“Excuse me! I’d like to get back home first.”“Okay, I’ll escort you home,” says Arifin as he gets up from the chair.“No, you don’t have to,” she denies.“But I have to. I just don’t want you to kill anyone on your way back home.”“Maan?!” Andini whines with a tired face.They both leave. Cindy glances a bit at Minda secretly, and finds her looking at the two with a gloomy face.Cindy thinks that Minda is looking gloomy because of her jealousy to see those two being together. So little she knows, Minda is actually feeling sym

The next day, Arifin comes visiting Andini again. However, that girl denies his visit because of that sudden kiss she received last night.Arifin quite considerate, and understands the reason. So he doesn’t push his way and gives her some space.“Don’t worry too much. She looks fine today. Maybe she's just not in a good mood,” says Elma as she escorts Arifin out of the house.“Please, Aunty! Just inform me later if anything serious happens. I’ll stay in the complex doing my training.”Elma nods with her peaceful smile. And Arifin just starts his training right from that house, running around the housing complex to complete his daily training regime.He still wants to try the same thing as before, hunting blood and soul crystal in the night with a higher difficulty.Every time he passes that corner, Andini always observes him intently in secret from behind the curtain.

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

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

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
