Back From the Apocalyptic Future 098 - He Is Mad
On the other hand, Andini is currently sitting on the back of a military truck owned by the mercenary that Dr. Cohen hired. Her face looks so blank like someone has been hypnotized.She keeps getting some soothing whispering, telling her that she is going to be okay as long as she is back to her master. In fact, Dr. Cohen himself is no longer trying to communicate with her. All those words are just the suggestion that he had planted in Andini’s subconscious.“We almost lost her,” whines Dr. Cohen with a pale face before relieving a sigh.“You were too impatient to send her there, while your condition had not fully recovered,” replies Naomi, helping Dr. Cohen to get back to his bed.That man looks so tired after trying his best to completely control Andini’s body.“That’s not what I’m saying. The girl was trying to commit suicide by jumping into a dry river. I thought I had managed to influence her to leave that place. That’s why I believed she was already under my control. But she sud
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 099 - Asking For A Shaman's Help
Normally, this will make Arifin confused as to how easy it is for him to break the monster’s exoskeleton. But he is not in a condition to think about that stuff. He is in rage, and only cares to vent out his anger.The only thing that comes to his mind is how satisfied it is that he butchered that one monster’s neck. Even knowing that one strike is already enough to kill the monster, he still butchers the monster’s body to pieces before it falls by itself.He doesn’t even realize the faint white aura around him. The aura only makes his vision a bit different as if the air around him is wavering like rippling water, albeit not too contrast.“I had enough with this. If you really want to die so badly, come here and be my guess,” he taunts the other Dilophocaballus monsters to come.Those six monsters are a bit intimidated. The more after they notice the dawn coming. Not wanting to take any risk, they just follow their instinct and flee toward the dense forest.It makes Arifin so disappo
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 100 - Confronting the Enemy
That morning, Arifin asks Yusuf for Andini’s photo. Thankfully, Yusuf is still keeping one photo of Andini, the one that he used to look for her when she was missing after the tsunami.He goes back to Mr. Natsir’s hut and gives the photo. Mr. Natsir simply shows the photo to the two spirit creatures that hide under his robe, and then gives it back to Arifin.“Is that it? Won’t they forget her face later?” Arifin doubts. “Don’t they need to also show this photo when they ask their friends later.”“Kid, there are so many things you don’t know about these creatures. These two with me might be a bit naive like kids. But they don’t easily forget people. And the way they communicate with each other is different from us. Anyway, why don’t I show you something.”Mr. Natsir then whispers something under his robe. A moment later, he comes closer to Arifin, and then one spirit creature approaches Arifin’s head.Arifin can see it coming, but only in the shape of a small orb. He feels a bit eerie
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 101 - Infiltrating Enemy's Territory
It won’t be a problem, he said. Arifin knows he can deal with the rest of those mercenaries. But a fight with them is something he wants to avoid. Because he has his own agenda.He walks nonchalantly approaching those people who are still in hectic helping their comrades. As they notice Arifin, they immediately surround him by pointing their submachine guns.“Who are you?”“What business do you have here??”“Stupid! He is one of the awakened people! He has killed quite many of us. Don’t let your guard down. He can kill you at any moment.”“Hey, hey! I’m not here to start a fight,” Arifin interferes. “Where’s your boss? I came voluntarily ‘cause I think you want to recruit someone like me.”And then, Arifin sees the man named Parjo, the
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 102 - Setting Up A Chaos
Arifin says words that really suit Dr. Cohen’s mindset and ideology. Whether he really believes what Arifin told him, or he just has that much interest in him, Dr. Cohen just accepts his reasoning and motive.“Such a confidence you have there. I’d like to see what you have in you, but it’s already so late. Guards, take him to ward C, and treat him well. Make sure he feels at home here. Starting today, he is one of us.”The guards escort him to a ward specifically for people who have proven having physical prowess surpassing the limit of normal humans. But none of them have shown having any kind of special ability so far, except for one person.With Dr. Cohen putting Arifin in this group, it can be said that he has quite a high hope in him.“We usually put four people in one room. But good for you, there is only one person in this room,&rdquo
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 103 - The Defiance Atlantis Real Agenda
Finishing with this rally morning, they let these soldier candidates get back to their respective rooms to take a shower. When Arifin gets back to his room, he finds Andrew is still sleeping in his bed.It doesn’t seem like Andrew gets any penalty or punishment for not joining the morning rally. Which of course raises Arifin’s curiosity.“Do they like you so much that they don’t even punish you for not joining that morning rally?”Or course, Andrew won’t give any response to him. He is still looking so wasted sleeping in a terrible position.A moment later, two guards come to the room. One of them offers Arifin a few changes of clothes. He really gets treated well here like an honorable guess. Even the way that guard behaves looks so different from their behavior while supervising the morning rally.“We will
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 104 - The Sparring Session
Arifin shares some blood crystals to Watt, and asks him to share them with the others. Eight people might have declared their intention to stay. However, with Arifin trying to change Bayu’s mind, there’s a chance that those eight people would join him.The only thing that is doubtful now is Andrew, who might still influence his two friends not to side with Arifin.“One crystal for one person. Give those ladies from the other group too. About Grace, I’ll give it myself later.”Actually, he was lying to Andrew when he said he no longer has those crystals. There are still quite many of them, but he just didn’t want to share them with Andrew this morning.As people start leaving that chow hall, Arifin takes the time to give one blood crystal and one blue crystal to Grace. He doesn’t need to explain the use of those two types of crystal because Grace has been familiar with them.But then, a girl suddenly approaches Arifin in the midst of the crowd. He is a bit startled, to find that she is
Back From the Apocalyptic Future 105 - Let Me Show You Something
Arifin takes off his jacket by still keeping his mystical kris hiden, and puts it on one of the corners inside that octagon. He takes that sparring session without putting any stance at all.Javier starts it by sending several quick jabs by changing its pattern. Despite that, Arifin is able to evade all the incoming jabs easily, solely depending on his reflex that has been honed after so many battle experiences.“Damn, he isn’t going easy with me,” mumbles Arifin as he finds the sparring is actually harder than what he expected.As Javier feels like he has memorized Arifin’s pattern in evading his jabs, he sets a trap by preparing his right knuckle. He sends another normal jab as a decoy, intending to welcome Arifin with a strong right soon after Arifin gets away from his jab.Arifin eats the bait, ‘cause he has only been too occupied by those left jabs. Just as he moves his head to the left, he notices a right knuckle from Javier already so close to his face.“Got you!”But something

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.

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
