I have lied about my amnesia and being stranded on this planet. Let's just hope she isn't too good at deducting.

Hearing this Fay made a really dumb face. Like she completely believes me. She is giving me a pitiful smile.

"Don't worry. Everything will be just fine." (Fay)

She says and embraces me. She is rubbing my head and trying to show me some pity.

Is she just dumb or is she like me? I can't get a read on her. But now that she has embraced me, I feel something hitting me.

Two mounds are pushing against me. I totally feel them.

She is petite. So I thought she would be flat. But she has nice curves. Still, she is short.

About 150 centimetres. And her expressions are like a doll. Calculated till the very end.

Well, that's my first impression of her. But first impressions aren't everything. She might show something weird or something deadly.

"Mmm...ummmm....can you….let me...go now?"

I ask her. Her twin mounds hitting me is nice and all but it might lead to trouble if it went on for a bit longer.

I have gained resistance to temptation and such but it is still draining.

"Ooo..." She noticed her actions and let go of me immediately.

Her face turned bright red like a cherry and it looked like she might just burst.

"I appreciate your feelings. It made me forget my bad dreams."

I have to keep the conversation going. I can't let the momentum die.

"I am glad that you are happy." (Fay)

She held both her hands near her chest and said happily. I can't understand her. She is still going on about my troubles.

Is she really like this or it's an act? I can't lower my guard. She might strike when my guard is low.

After all they say, beware of women. I have to beware of women or I might get tricked.

"So, where are you from?"

I ask the most obvious question.

"Jupiter. I am from that star." (Fay)

"Eh….." I am shocked. Jupiter is the gas giant in our solar system that is enormous but it made of gas.

How can anyone live there?

But, I have to act like nothing special happened.

"Anyway, I have been watching you for some time now. You don't like them?"

"It's not like I don't. It's just that they only treat me like a princess. But I also want to go on normal adventures and do normal things." (Fay)

She makes a displeased face. Her statement and her expression clears one thing.

She is treated like a doll princess and she is tired of that. So she decided to take a stroll.

"Must be tough being a princess."

I try to sympathise.

"No. It feels sarcastic when they do that. I am born from the Kings' fourteenth concubine. I already have more than 20 elder siblings. I am not even someone important and yet they call me Princess. It feels humiliating." (Fay)

Her face shows a variety of emotions. Disgust, anger, grief, regret- she showed every last one of them.

"I can't say I understand. I am a commoner and I don't like these complicated subjects. Must be rough always acting like a perfect girl."

I get it. She is trying to run away. Should I help her? She still hasn't raised her guard.

"How about this? I take care of them for you."

I propose this. This way, I can get rid of those Rangers and get her to trust me.

"You can? They are capable fighters." (Fay)

"Tell me their weaknesses and strengths. I can totally defeat them. Also one thing…."

I stop to ask the obvious.

"What is it?" (Fay)

"Do they have a family or something? Someone who is waiting for each of them."

"No. They are all chosen from an orphanage and specifically enhanced to be better than your regular human. They are orphans and no one is waiting for them." (Fay)

She gave me more information than I needed. But I can now dispose of them.

"Then let's go." I say to her and leave. She is following me and we reach the landing site.

"But how strong are they?"

I still don't know about their strength. So what tactic should I use? Or should I just ambush them?

"If you are worried about strength then it's normal. They are not strong enough to lift this ship. At most they can carry four people in their backs." (Fay)

Four people? That's about the same as a bear. So our lifting strength should be comparable. And judging from that, they are about the same as me.

"I see. I guess, I should ambush them. It would be troublesome if they were to attack all at once."

"Then, I will set them up. I will call the captain. You take care of them. And then you can clean up the rest." (Fay)

Smiling sadistically she says this. I am really worried. Did I just come into contact with a bad woman? I shouldn't trust her fully.

"Ok. Then call red. I'll be waiting behind the tree and keeping an eye in things."

"Yes." She tilts her head and smiles. I don't know. Why does it feel like she has no real personality?

She is just putting on a fake act.

I go behind the tree and wait there. I will jump on him from behind and end him in one fell swoop.

Or should I try and have a prolonged fight? If I fight him directly, I might get used to battling humans.

I have trained but only with animals. How would an intelligent human would respond is completely unknown to me.

I will wait and see. Seeing them again would help me determine my strategy.

And about 10 minutes later, I see someone approaching. Red hair like before, it was him.

He is approaching hurriedly. What did she tell him?

Anyway, I should prepare for the attack.

    On that day everything changed. The people I knew, all died. As a matter of fact, everyone died except me.I, Clive Belmont, am the only person alive on this entire planet. I didn't get to watch the bombardment. I was mining for resources.So when I got to the surface, I was greeted with a scene that could be said hell.Scorched earth and rubbles. The city I knew was nowhere to be seen. Neither the people.I stood alone. On that pile of rubbles, I stood still, laughing.Many would say that I am abnormal. Abnormal would be kind of them. Freak, psycho, weird, inhuman, monster; I have been called all of this in just my 17 years of life.And look, everyone who called me those, died.I alone am alive. Now a certain question arises.What should I do? What do I do? Should I take revenge on those who killed everyone? Should I sulk that everyone is dead? Should I grieve their deaths?But to be honest, I am not doing any of those.Think about it, they wiped out all of humanity in just an hour

    As I walk through the destroyed city, I reminisce.The good old days. Just kidding. Life has never been kind to me. Saying that would probably get me kicked right in the face.But it is the truth. I was born in a normal household. With normal parents and a normal life.The only abnormal one was probably me. It happened when I was in grade school.One day, a molester broke in. And he literally broke in.He took our class hostage and everyone was scared. The molester was trying to scare us and was probably aiming for the girls in my class.They were too scared to move. And almost all the boys were tied up. And then he came to me.He was not too tall or big. He was small if I compare him with my father.When he crouched down to tie me up, I stabbed him in his eyes.I had a compass from my geometry box in my pocket.And I stabbed him with that. He screamed. His screaming was so loud that I even felt annoyed at him. So I took the compass and stabbed it in his crotch.He was in pain. No, he

    After camping outside for a night the next morning felt a little too refreshing.Officially a day has passed since that happened. But I feel more alive than ever.Every single day, I used to wake up, depressed and unsure of the future.I was so paranoid that I even locked my door from the inside.Because, my trust in my parents was gone. I never trusted them as they tried to poison me before. So I got myself a job in the mines.The pay was decent but was a little challenging. But then, it gave me an excuse.I used to work overtime to earn a little extra. Then, I would go and eat outside. Most of the times, I would eat outside.Even my parents were delighted to hear that. I gave up convincing them because they were plain terrified of me.Then I got the idea of moving out. Finding a new home and living alone. But fate was not too kind to me.I needed a guarantor. If I asked, my father would have become one, probably.But the problem was that no one would let me rent their place. Because

    The dog and I are currently on our way to the capital.I say that but we are walking leisurely. The dog is trotting.The day is fine. Roads are empty. No sound of vehicles but just birds chirping and flying freely. No airplanes or flying machines in the sky. It became really quiet but gave an inexplicable sense of relief.The mechanic sounds are gone. Only natural sounds are present. But my inner monologues are becoming more prevalent.I guess this is called loneliness. I am not lonely in the truest sense.But as the only human left, I seek other humans.But the way they attacked us it is impossible for any humans to be alive.I look at the dog beside me. It has brown fur and a pretty common dog like look.Just like those common house dogs the Americans play with.But it is very intelligent. It understands my speech and does everything I tell it to.Calling the dog it is very inefficient. So I stop and take a look at the dog.It also stopped and looked at me. Its eyes saying 'Do you

    Spending a night in that town was good. I was able to restock. Why the past tense?Because I have already arrived at the capital. The time skip is staple for a story. So I thought I would omit the rest of my journey.Not like anything special happened in between anyway. I just found a few dead bodies and buried. Like usual. The capital is totally a mess. Most humans lived here. So the damage is mostly visible. But fortunately, one place was unscathed.The city center. Though it's the capital, calling it the capital center was weird. So they named it city center.It was the administrative building that oversaw the capital and its inhabitants.But it was mostly automated. A highly computational A.I. program was created so that it would be automated.And not that many humans worked here. So the building is still standing.But the thing I am after is underground.The data center which stores the worlds knowledge is here.But this stuff is classified. You would ask then how do I know that

    Today marks the one month of that. That invasion or should I call it {Extermination} of humanity.Anyway, I am still in the capital. Living in a small house I found unscathed. Probably a new house. The capital built a lot of houses but not everyone could afford them. So most of them were up for sale.This was probably similar. And the house itself is not bad. It had everything from a pantry to bunker.Why bunker? I don't know. Ask the government. Oh…..that's right. The government is gone.I am alone in this whole world. Not alone in a sense. My partner Hazel is with me.For this one month or more like 3 weeks, I have been living here. I have nothing to do. So I studied a little. A little of everything.And I trained. My body and my mind. Both of them have been tempered. My body was not fat. I worked in the mines. So I have some amount of muscles on me. But I built a little more. Trained my agility. A little bit of strength and endurance.Overall my stats went up. This is no RPG game

    I should mention the date. About a month has passed. The attack happened on 16 April. Today is 23 of May. A little more than a month. But everyone is gone. Do I have to count? It could be done with the phones. So let's not worry about that.Hello, this is Clive Belmont. I am departing from the capital today to head south. I want to see the sea. So I am taking a bike and a few necessities.My partner is my dog Hazel whom I found on the way to the capital. She really is smart. Helping me always.It's May. So it should be summer. But since the war, the climate has changed.Seasons are nonexistent. Summer and winter are all we have left. But for these two months we get a spring like season.It isn't that hot or cold during the day. But it gets cold at night. I have already left the city and passing through the grasslands.Hazel is with me. I have attached a carrier at the side of the bike. She is sitting there.I think with this speed, I can reach the sea in 4 days.This country is quit

    Clive dreams——————I woke up. I find myself in a weird place. This is my bed in my parents's house. Weird! I should be in my house. Anyway, rather than moping on it, I get up. I look at the clock.6 in the morning. I have to report to the mine at 7:30. I have time.I go downstairs. No one is up yet. My parents work till late at night. So they get up late.I wash my face and get ready to jog.I jog everyday for about an hour.I cover most of the city. So I think I run more than 10 kilometers.I have continued this schedule since middle school.So even in high school, I do this.Today is Saturday. School is closed. So I can go to work.After the jog, I get back home. I take a shower and prepare my breakfast.My parents are still sleeping. I have thought about it. Maybe it's about time I get my own apartment.It's uncomfortable being with my parents. Also, the work is going well.I can pay for my necessities with my own money.Let's talk about it later.I go to the mines.It really is

    I am here at the field again. Why are they landing here of all places? And near this city?It is a question I would like to ask. I am back in the position again. Behind the same tree, I am eavesdropping on them.But the numbers have increased. There are 5 of them. Judging from their looks, one of them is a female. At least I think.I have left Hazel and Eden back at home. Bringing them to a potential battle zone would be careless.I have the amulet with me. So I can hear them talk.I can see them talking. And now that I look carefully, they are....handsome.They look really handsome. And that supposed female is also beautiful. What is with this?If they were from this planet, they would be super models. Anyway, they are flashy in terms of appearance.With weird hair color and styles.They have red, green, blue, purple and blonde hair respectively.The supposed female has blonde hair and her attire is different from the men.The air she has around her has a regal feel.

    I have already taken the gun. It turned out to be a . I have taken the staff as well.But what can the staff do is still unknown. I am in that open field. Testing out my new weapons. Mastering the weapons would give me a better shot at beating them up.My plan is simple. When the next ship comes, I will attack them. I mean, I will ambush them. Being ambushed is something everyone hates, right?And I will restrain them or more like kill them. It is often said that never spare your enemy because they will come back and get their revenge.I am not doing this for revenge. I am just doing this to survive. I don't think they would spare me if they found out about me.So before I fall into their clutches, I will do something by myself. Maybe go to their planet and hide. From what I saw, they look like normal humans. It would be easy if I can just blend in with them. And with this my future planning is done.Now I focus on my staff and equip it. I just have to wish for it to be

    The gun and staff suddenly glowing and my weird dream might be connected. So I should check this out.Cautious people would say to be careful. But I believe that I have to explore every possible event.This event is quite exciting. A stolen alien gun and staff which is too draining and doesn't use any ammunition suddenly glowing is weird in its own right. But I got a weird dream.And judging by the timing I would say this is that common trope.When the protagonist levels up he gets new powers and abilities which often manifests itself through his dream.I get up and walk to the glowing gun. It is glowing but faintly and it's blinking.The lights is glowing like an S.O.S signal. Is this weapon actually alive? I haven't tested it yet after my training but I should have leveled up.If my guess is correct then it uses spiritual energy as a power source. So I did both physical and mental training in which I tempered my body and soul.Let's see the results. I touch the gun and it stopped gl

Now another one. This is cramped.And here I am. Waking up and finding Hazel beside me and the bear cub above.When the hell did I eat dinner and fall asleep?I remember taking a bath and then I don't remember. Did I black out?

    I know this a bit weird but I am doing it backwards. Hello, this the author. I decided I should do a special chapter for passing 1k views. This is an introduction chapter but there are only 2 characters. So I will add a special POV too. ————————————————Clive Belmont: The MC. He is a apathetic boy of 17. Taller than average with a height of 181.5 centimeters. And a weight of 69 kilograms.His personality is a bit twisted. Unpredictable. In a word that's it. Too disconnected from reality. Brash and does not understand feelings of others. Also a little too level headed. One might think, he is not human. Totally unfazed by irregular things and quite accepting.Wants a peaceful life and is dependent on the flow. He does not make a decision and let nature run its course.Hazel: His partner. A brown dog. Gender female. Met Clive after a day of the annihilation. A really clever dog. Always understands what Clive says and gives him advice. Whenever they come across a dead body, she always b

    I defeated the bear. It was a good fight. But I have to practice more. There wasn't any problem with my physical abilities.I have exceeded the human limitations. Though plenty humans could lift up to 1 ton.But they were all buff and round. I have gained that strength without changing my size.I am still the same. Now for the body, I should bury it. I get back home and take shovel.I see that Hazel is still upset. "Hey, wanna come with me this time?"I ask her. And she just got up and stood beside me.I take it that you want to. So I take her and the bike and leave.When I reach the site, I see something unusual.There was someone near the dead bear. I stop at that. I observe it. That is a small bear.The size could be called a baby bear. A cub.Was the bear I killed its mother?I never wanted to kill the bear. But I had to. And I have orphaned its cub.This is heavy. I go to the cub with Hazel following me.It's trying to wake its mother. I confirmed it before. The bear I fought wa

    It has been another month. I feel like time is kinda passing too fast. But hey, I am training.So it kinda helps that time is passing by so fast. I have tempered my body and soul.My body can withstand harsh temperatures and I probably won't die even after being hit by a car.My mind is sharper than before. I can think faster than before. My reaction speed has increased a lot as well.My training has paid off. I totally went for a shaolin style training where those baldies did some weird training.To be honest I wasn't too sure but now I see.Results speak louder than words. I haven't touched that staff or the gun in this time.But, I think I can shoot at least twice without passing out. Hazel has been with me for all this time.She was following me everywhere. She even sat under the waterfall with me.It felt like she was training too. Many people are saying that I am an idiot.I'd like to digress. It's true that my formal education stopped after that incident.But that doesn't mean

    I wake up. I am still at the field. But it's evening.The sun is setting and the moon could be seen. I see Hazel sitting beside me."Thank you for keeping watch. I think I can walk now." I thank her and pat her head.My energy is back. But it's not like my physical energy was gone. So what kind of energy does it use?And the firepower was incredible. If I shot a human with that, not even a bone would survive.I take the gun and head back. I should think about it.I should first read the book and research. First, know your enemy. Better than themselves.Because the enemy has let their guard down. And they would be back in a while.So I need to get ready so I can leave this planet.I wanted to discover new places on this planet. But I think, I should greet them first.I get back at home and I start reading the book.I won't describe the whole book but here's the summary:This world has many planets. On some, there is life. On some, there is only death. We have thrived on a blue planet.
