Terputusnya panggilan video membuat Kevin yang semula memasang tampang ceria kembali menjadi datar. Pandangannya menatap nanar ke ponsel yang telah menghitam sebelum beralih ke arah jendela. Menatap pemandangan dari luar, cukup banyak orang-orang berlalu lalang. Kebanyakan berpakaian seperti dirinya sedangkan yang lain berjas putih dan rapi. Lumayan membosankan tinggal disini, walaupun belum sampai seminggu. Rasanya Kevin ingin cepat-cepat keluar dari Rumah sakit sialan ini.Tempat yang katanya mampu membuatnya sembuh lebih cepat nyatanya hanya penjara yang mengekangnya hingga tak bisa bergerak leluasa. Di tambah dengan tangan kanan yang masih sangat sakit untuk di gerakan. Bagaimanapun juga dia tak bisa memaafkan pelaku di balik kejadian ini. Siapa lagi kalau bukan Tiara. Gadis itu sangat mencurigakan. Dan, sialnya mampu berpura-pura seolah tak terjadi apapun di depan Nia."Padahal mereka terlihat dekat," gumam Kevin. Banyak hal tak terduga yang tak bisa dia cari jawabannya. Tiara ta
Sepanjang jalan hanya diisi oleh keheningan. Juga langkah kaki mereka yang berjalan berurutan. Dua orang – lelaki dan wanita – berpakaian lebih kompleks dari yang lain memimpin, diikuti oleh tentara Germany yang menyasar, dan terakhir para tentara lainnya.Dua Germany masih tak habis pikir dengan ketenangan di tempat ini. Jauh dari kebisingan, jauh dari kerusuhan, jauh dari kata ‘Perang’. Pikiran mereka bertanya-tanya, bagaimana bisa ada tempat damai seperti ini di tengah-tengah peperangan? Mereka terhanyut dalam keasyikan batin sampai lupa untuk mengenalkan diri pada orang-orang baru ini.“Eum... Namaku Ronald, Nona?” Ronald menjadi yang pertama mengenalkan diri. Dia mengelap tangannya sendiri sebelum mengulurkannya ke arah wanita berkarisma di depannya.Si wanita menoleh, menatap uluran tangan, lalu tersenyum. “Fan, dan kau tak perlu memanggilku Nona.”“Ah... yah, Fan.” Ronald mengulangi nama itu untuk mengusir kecanggungan.“Kalau kau bermaksud mendekatinya, kau salah orang Bung! D
Three thousand years ago, an event occurred that would change history. The Earth is about to experience an apocalypse when a meteor shower hits. The cause was a collision between two giant meteors in space adjacent to the Earth’s orbital line. Almost 80% of living things on Earth died. But it was not the only impact of the meteor shower of the time. Anyone who can survive will have tremendous strength. The power of the so-called Odd Eye Circle (OEC) or another name for Tyr Gods Syndrome. Each owner of this power can manipulate human brains to kill each other or something that normal humans cannot think of. Anyone with an Odd Eye Circle has a characteristic: their two eyeballs have different colors. That is what distinguishes them from ordinary people.Tears filled the entire room. The nurse immediately cleans the innocent baby, who is full of blood. Soon, a man appeared in the delivery room.“How are my wife and son?”“Your son is safe, Sir...” The nurse stopped her speech as doubt cl
BRUUK!Theo’s body was kicked hard by one of the boys until his back hit a tree. Theo grimaced. His back was hot and sore at the same time. His body hit the tree trunk so hard that Theo felt that part of his back was broken. With the energy still left, Theo tried to get up while holding on to the tree trunk.“Tie him up! Don’t let the monster loose!” said Wyatt, the boy who kicked Theo.The other boy quickly picked up Theo’s body. One of them carried a rope used to tie Theo’s body to a tree trunk. Theo can no longer escape or avoid the ball kick that leads to him. He practically incarnated into a shooting target.Wyatt now grabbed the football and put it with Theo’s body one way. He is alert for a while, takes a run-up so that his shot does not miss, and has excellent strength. “Hahaha! I’ll finish you, ugly monster!” Along with the shout, Wyatt put his foot on the ball instantly, making the ball bounce at high speed and hit Theo’s solar plexus.“COUGH!”“Yeah! Nice shot!” shouted Wya
One year laterThe night is not the end of the day. Quite the opposite. The setting sun is a sign that another new life is about to begin. Life isn’t warmer during the day. A whole life of cruel cruelty. It sounds dangerous, but it’s the real meaning of life. It’s as if nature as a living being is tested when surviving in this cruel world.“Hey! Fight him!”“Kill that red half-eye!”“No, surely the one who wins is the odd eye!”“I bet fifty bucks if the Reds win.”“I bet you one hundred bucks if that red-eye dies!”The crowd’s cheers at that time were increasingly thundering around the arena with two figures in the middle. One was a red half-eye boy whose face was already too battered. His shoulders went up and down due to irregular breathing. The boy was none other than Theodore. The boy who escaped from the orphanage now has to go through a cruel, actual life full of suffering. He has to be a street fighter to eat. No matter how much his body hurts, he doesn’t care. Because this is
Teeeng! When the bell rang, two people rushed directly at each other. They hit each other, and they want to knock each other out. Or just one of the most ambitious men to hit. Because it turns out Theodore looks more limp than usual. He also cannot move steadily and tends to falter. His face was pale with dull black eyes. Moreover, his scars still adorn his face. He looks like a Walking Dead Man. BUUGH! BUGGHH!Blow after blow floated across his face. Instantly making Theodore falter and fall to cross the boundary line. Everyone cheered on the victory of the other wrestlers. Some cursed Theo for losing. They don’t care about the helplessness, Theo.Theo knows he won’t get paid for losing the match, so he can only walk out hard. Theo felt pain all over his body; the wounds from the previous match were still not healed, and he had no money for treatment. All he had was a piece of bread left over two days ago. Not knowing if it was still edible, Theo had no choice but to eat it or fai
The backyard of the orphanage building was filled with boys who were enjoying playing soccer while laughing. They all seem to be enjoying the game. As if they were very far from the cruelty of the world. As if the color of their eyes was not a sign of danger at all.Theo watched silently behind the window of his room. His gaze glanced far out there while his mind was out of place. His little fingers trembled as he watched how the soccer ball was being kicked around by the kids out there. It was like a whip that reminded him of the dark memories of when he was still in his old orphanage. A place he initially thought of as home but found to be nothing more than a hell full of torment.When his body becomes the target of a kick by a soccer ball. Until he almost died because his neck was injured.Theo spontaneously stroked a very noticeable scar on the surface of his neck. It's been a while. The wound has also dried up. But, Theo still clearly remembers the pain he felt. Also how the bodi
The statement from Jared received ridicule from the boys in the middle of the field. It practically provokes Jared’s emotions and eventually makes him chase one by one of his friends.Theo watched from the side-lines. Although it seemed to make fun of them, but he felt that the boys had no evil intentions at all. They're just really playing with each other. And, it was a rare sight Theo had ever seen in his entire life.“Excuse me...”One word from Theo instantly got the attention of the rest of the boys there. They simultaneously turned to Theo without daring to interrupt until Theo continued his speech.Theo stared at one by one of them and gulped his saliva roughly. “Can I play with you guys?”Quiet for a moment. Theo was worried. Then another surprise attacked him.“Oh my gosh... You don't have to ask permission to play with us!” One of the boys grabbed Theo’s shoulder tightly and was followed by the others.“That's right! Play with us!”Theo felt incredible happiness for the firs
