"I am Alice Kayden. Shin and I promised to be together for the rest of our lives. I hope to get your blessings."
Alice's face turned red as she smiled shyly.
""What?"" Both Reina and Alfred exclaimed in shock.
'What did we just hear?'
'Is she Shin's girlfriend?'
Alfred and Reina looked at each other before turning to the girl in front of her.
"Are you Shin's girlfriend?" Alfred asked.
Hearing the word girlfriend Alice blushed and her cheeks turned red. It was obvious how embarrassed she was. But she didn't agree nor denied.
But her reaction gave the confirmation they wanted.
Both of them were shocked more than surprised.
They never expected their son to have a girlfriend and bring her home. He was so socially inactive that he rarely mentioned having any friends.
Now he brings a girl home. Who would expect that of him?
Reina was so happy that she just stood up and sat beside Alice as she gave her a ti
'Where am I?....''....What's going on?'In the back corner of the yellow bus, in between the seats, a dark-haired boy was crouching, making himself as small as possible trying his best to hide from someone or something.There were visible bruises and scars spotted all over his body. A gut-wrenching sobs tore through his lungs as his body started shaking in fear."Uwahh."*Clack!!**Clack!!*"Hieek"Even the smallest sound he heard was enough to make him tremble in fear. His heart was beating loudly through his chest and he might encounter hyperventilating at this rate.*Tap! Tap!*'Someone's closing in, Is it a person or those nasty creatures' He thought to himself while tears started falling down his eyes.Every second was like hours to him. He could even hear the sounds of his heavy breathing. Sometimes he could hear the cries of people coming from outside. Wailing in pain, cursing, and dying at the hand of those creatures. He was afraid. He was afraid of dying like this. His lif
(Shin's POV)After a few minutes of pestering, Simon finally calmed down and we started watching a movie, a boring one at that. Well from my point of view at least.'I don't get it. What's the point of this romance bullshit. Isn't that actress way too pitiful and also arrogant.''Why the hell is she this arrogant, When she can't even afford proper food?'In the movie, which we were watching. The female lead had a terrible character. She was poor so I pitied her, but she was also quite arrogant and bad-mouthed the main character for bumping into her. Even though it was a mistake and he apologized.And'Why would the main character find it amusing and start loving her?'Am I the weird one here? 'I don't get it, I seriously can't understand their logic.'I turned towards Simon who was crying happily over their romantic struggle, solving family problems, and happily marrying at the end.'Look at this idiot crying over their happy ending.'Let me be clear it's not like I am not happy with
Inside a double-storeyed house. In the dining room, two figures could be seen sitting opposite to each other at the dining table. One was a boy with red hair with a tall build, and on the opposite end of the table was a doll-like girl with obsidian black hair and beautiful purple eyes. It was Simon and Elena. The room was completely silent and both had grave expressions on their faces. If not for her little hand movements anyone could have mistaken her for a sculpture. Closing her eyes for a brief moment, she soon opened them again. A face appeared on her mind. It was Shin. A worried look flashed across her face and her brows knit together, but soon calmed down. She turned her focus toward her brother sitting in front of her. He continuously tapped on his phone with an anxious look in his eyes. She opened her small mouth to something but no words came out. She wanted to console him. But she didn't know what to say. After the announcement was made regarding murders. Soon a second
In the Northern sector of the Aston city. The number of monsters was by far the highest compared to all the other areas. The situation was dire, death counts were increasing rapidly by the minute. Even though many people grouped up and tried to suppress the monster's attack. The casualties were by no means low and the swarm of monsters soon entered the locality after breaking through the barricade. Those monsters were on a rampage.Screams of pain and agony could be heard from everywhere. Amid this chaos, a majority of them had lost their family members and there were those who had lost their will to fight. Some of them had lost their body parts; forced amputations, and were left handicapped. Whereas, others suffered the most painful death, by either getting stomped on or eaten alive without any means to break free. Each passing minute adds to their suffering and the number of deaths kept increasing.The nice weather and the cool winter afternoon which should have been like any oth
Two emotionless mystic blue eyes were directly staring at the dead bodies of two monsters lifelessly laying on the ground. Shin's smile was equivalent to a devil's grin, which scared the monster down to its core. It became even more apparent after seeing the messages floating in front of him.[ You have killed 2 goblins ][ Plunder activated ][ You absorbed 5 stat points ]Soon the grin on his face faded as he started to ponder something. "Status board," Shin muttered in a low voice.*Klink!****[ Name- Shin Wolner][Age - 20][Title - 1st awakened ][ Level - 1 ][-Stats-][STR - 19] [AGI - 10] [DEX - 5 ][Stamina- 5][ Bonus stats - 5 ][Special ability - Plunder]***After some deep thinking, Shin decided to use his bonus stats to increase his agility this time.

"What am I seeing? Am I dreaming? Is this humanly possible?" Two beautiful emerald-colored eyes widened in shock while observing the scene in front of her. Her mouth was agape. She was in disbelief. She couldn't process the happenings in front of her.Anna didn't know what to think or feel anymore. Even the sudden appearance of monsters didn't shock her as much, as when she saw Shin's actions with her eyes wide open. She didn't want to miss a single thing. The person who was her savior. Whom she thought is going to die surrounded by monsters? Not only did he survive. He was moping the road with them. It was a massacre, and he was the one doing it not the monsters. They were not his match at all.She couldn't help but feel pathetic. She blamed herself for being weak. If she was that strong. She could have saved someone's life. Instead of being the one getting saved.Anna saw Shin swinging his iron rod like a blade and defeating them, even with his blunt weapon, the force behind every
A black-haired young man with mystic blue eyes could be seen staring blankly in the air. As he was the only one who could see the notifications popping out in front of him on a translucent blue floating screen._________________________[You have killed a Corpse eater.][You have leveled up.][ +10 Bonus stats for leveling up.][Plunder activated][You have absorbed 5 stat points.][You have absorbed a skill 'Predator's eyes']_________________________Shin raised his eyebrow as he read the contents of the messages. Soon his eyes widened in shock.As soon as he read the name of the monster he got a general idea about it. Shin's disgust towards those monsters Increased drastically. He turned his attention toward the dead body of the corpse eater, his eyes full of disdain and disgust at that monster.Just by seeing his appearance, Shin wanted to bring him back to life, just to kill him again.But he knew he should calm himself down. His emotions are affecting his decision process. So Sh

Shin gritted his teeth and muttered."Extreme speed."His figure blurred for a moment as his speed increased. He easily dodged the incoming objects flying at him.Shin's face was pale. He was bearing the pain of his muscles being torn apart. Even with his pain tolerance skill, the pain was too much. He endured it and continued his fast movements.He didn't want to stop just because of some pain. If he stops now they will surely die.

The large humanoid monster stood crudely, its back bent over from the size of its head. It held a large Iron club in its hand. Its white hollow eyes and features can pretty well describe why it's an Undead.The blood lust emitting from it was nothing to scoff at. The ground below it trembles from the way it walks. That bulky build and a height of more than 2.5 meters. That monster looks terrifying."Undead Tormentor. It's finally here." Shin muttered with a serious look. He was afraid but there was slight excitement he was feeling.'What's this feeling? I've never felt like this before. I'm no match for that terrifying monster. But I can't help but smile in excitement. Shouldn't I be afraid and think of a way to survive? Just what is happening to me?'Shin felt a weird change in his emotions. Because of the continuous events, he didn't think of it much. But now that he thinks about it why is he feeling like that. Wasn't he a coward and a pathetic guy?Who just wanted to end everything
Shin was busy checking those monsters' names then suddenly he narrowed his eyes as he read something. He felt a chill run down his spine.There was a name far behind those monsters it was written in dark red.It was screaming danger.[ Undead Tormentor (Elite)][ Boss monster ]"What the hell is that?" All that confidence Shin built up started crumbling down. He had underestimated that monster too much. He needs to take it more seriously.Shin turned to look at Alice who wasn't aware of their approaching doom. She was busy checking her gains.She was so quiet for some reason.'She must be thinking something important.''I should tell her about that monster. It doesn't look like she is aware of its presence.'"Alice," Shin spoke to get her attention."Yes? What is it?"Alice turned to look at him while her eyes were darting away. She was having difficulty making eye contact with him. After learning how her mother knew about her being interested in Shin. She felt embarrassed.But Shin's
"We are doomed."Hearing Shin's words Alice could only smile wryly. But both of them soon calmed down. They had already been in many unfavorable situations in the last few hours.This time it was just a little more difficult than usual. They can't give up. Alice's eyes darted everywhere to look for the boss monster. But it was nowhere there to be seen. She sighed in relief.Alice spoke without breaking eye contact with those monsters while maintaining her guard up."This is the boss monster's area I told you about. But it doesn't seem to be here. We better fight them and lessen their number before it arrives."Hearing Alice's words Shin was shocked. The hell, just what kind of luck do they need to enter just in the middle of the boss monster's lair and get surrounded by more than 50 monsters.Were they cursed by lady luck? Whatever. He decided to dismiss his thoughts and focus on those monsters.If what Alice said is true they don
***//Shin's Memory //"We will save you. Just hang on." A desperate voice echoed inside my ears."Don't give up Shin we are here with you." another voice followed thereafter. I didn't understand at first what was going on. But'Are those mom and dad? What's going on? What happened to me?'I couldn't speak nor could I feel anything. I could only hear their cries and desperate attempts trying to save me."I will find a way to save you so don't give up." Alfred cried in desperation.'What don't tell me Dad you are going to contact the family? Am I in that bad of a state?' I wanted to ask that but unfortunately, no voice came out. I couldn't feel my body nor do I remember what lead me to this state."Most of his organs are ruptured. All his limbs are fractured. His eyes are bleeding. His condition is only getting worse. I don't think he can survive." I heard a voice explaining my condition. I was shocked to hear that. If what that person says is true. How am I still alive? Wait am I al

How did that monster die so easily? Wasn't that an elite monster. It should have been much more difficult to deal with.Unknowingly to Shin. That Vulture monster suffered some damage in the head when it crashed to the ground while losing its balance mid-flight.Vulticans are hard to deal with. Cause of their strong body and steel-like wings. Their attacks are sharp as blades. But they have a weak spot in the back of their head. They are hard to deal with cause their opponents are mostly on the ground and reaching the back of their heads is much more difficult.But luckily for Shin. He attacked with his full force directly at the weak spot. So that monster died p
