The worn wooden door groaned in protest as it swung open, granting passage to Aera. She stepped into the dimly lit room, her presence casting a shadow across the worn floorboards. Doctor Karin awaited her arrival. As Aera stepped into the room, a sense of déjà vu washed over her. There, in the same spot as before, sat Doctor Karin, engrossed in a stack of books generously supplied by the stray dog headquarters.Aera pondered, her mind swirling with the possibility that it was Draken who had proposed the notion of stowing away those books within the confines of Doctor Karin's chamber. The suggestion was undeniably astute, for within the confines of that room, where Doctor Karin languished in detention, she managed to carve out precious moments to peruse those written works on a daily basis.Aera stood there, her eyes fixed on Doctor Karin, a mixture of displeasure evident on her face."It's you again," Doctor Karin, however, said, her voice tinged with a disappointment at the presenc
Aera stood there, her heart pounding in her chest, unable to fathom the words that had just escaped Doctor Karin's lips. The air around her seemed to still, as if time itself had frozen in that very moment. How could this be? How could reality twist and contort in such a way? Aera's mind raced, desperately searching for a logical explanation, but finding none. The world she thought she knew was slipping away, replaced by a surreal landscape of uncertainty and disbelief. Anticipation coursed through her veins as she yearned for the moment when Doctor Karin would, perhaps, alter her stance and align herself with her fervent desire to fix the broken pillar. Doctor Karin's inquiry ignited a flicker of hope within Aera. "Yes," Aera murmured, her voice barely audible. “Yes, it is," she added, her voice tinged with a hint of hope. The words hung in the air, a delicate thread connecting them in a moment of shared understanding. Aera's response was swift, her gaze fixing upon Doctor Karin a
[INSIDE YUJIN’S THOUGHTS]Yujin stirred from his slumber as the scent of aged timber wafted through the air, teasing his senses and coaxing him back to consciousness. In the very instant Yujin's eyes fluttered open, he found himself once more within the confines of the classroom, nestled within the hallowed halls of the thirteenth colony's esteemed educational institute. To his astonishment, a sense of desolation greeted him as he stepped into the room. Not a soul could be found, not a whisper of life. The emptiness hung heavy in the air, casting a shadow over his expectations.His mind wandered, contemplating the whereabouts of the other students in this moment. Yujin was left perplexed and bewildered, wondering where on earth the other students could have possibly disappeared to at this juncture. Driven by an insatiable curiosity, Yujin promptly rose from their seat and cast his gaze out through the window. In the ordinary course of events, his eyes would swiftly alight upon a mo
The final words that Yujin uttered were barely audible before he fell into an eerie silence. It seemed as if the very air itself was holding its breath in expectation as the weight of the unspoken words hung heavy in the air. It was a steady rhythm of terror and disbelief that pounded in his chest as his heart raced. An oppressive haze of pressure pressed down on him as the weight of the terrible fate that had befallen his fellow students and even the faculty staff of the entire establishment pressed upon him like a weight. He was in a state of great shock because the gravity of the situation was so much greater than he had anticipated. The foul odor of death permeated the atmosphere, serving as a gloomy reminder of the bloodbath that had just taken place. It was a spooky sight to see dead bodies lying around the ground in such a disorganized manner. It was a massacre, the likes of which are only mentioned in the most sinister of stories in hushed tones. The beast, a hideous creatu
Yujin surged forward, his body propelled by a surge of adrenaline, as he unleashed a flurry of strikes with his energy sword, each blow resonating with fierce determination. The beast, a formidable adversary, stood its ground, its monstrous form looming before him. The clash of steel against scales reverberated through the air, a symphony of violence and defiance. Yujin's heart pounded in his chest, his every movement a testament to his unwavering resolve. In this battle of wills and strength, he refused to yield. The monstrous creature evaded with uncanny agility, a testament to its formidable prowess. Undeterred, Yujin's resolve burned fiercely as he brandished his energy sword, poised to cleave through the beast's sinew and bone.Yujin's grip tightened around the energy sword, its blade shimmering with an iridescent fury that seemed to mirror the tumultuous emotions coursing through him. The energy orb shimmered with an intensity that surpassed its previous radiance, mirroring t
The siren of the colony, which had been dormant for some time, began to shriek suddenly. It was the very first time that the sound reverberated throughout the entire colony as low class and middle class tier monsters successfully breached the barrier that protects the final frontier from the dominance of monsters. It didn't take long for the screams of the colony's inhabitants to become the predominant sound in the environment of Espactra. It was far worse than a Holocaust to see people screaming for help and running for their lives as they were being persecuted.In the nick of time, everyone started running for the crystal fortress, which the monsters couldn't get into, in the hopes of saving their lives. However, an additional explosion occurred, which resulted in the loss of many more innocent lives. All of this transpired as a direct result of the manifestation of an S-tier monster that possessed the abominable characteristics of a human head attached to the body of a scorpion.
That must have been how the rumors must have spread throughout the institution. However, Yujin had no interest in recklessly engaging in unreasonable fights. It was a rumor that failed to spread alongside what most students and faculty have known of him. Yujin wouldn’t even resort to fighting or doing any violence unless it is even necessary. But what most of them commonly knew was that Yujin would eventually resort to fighting because he was a bloodlust freak. It was a label that spread out at the same time for him. At first, he was pissed by it but as time went on, Yujin began to pay it no mind. He just wanted to graduate so that he could move out of the colony and enter Espracta's warzone. Ever since the warzone broke out in Espracta, Yugin had always wanted to enter the warzone and enhance his skills there. However, his parents were always blocking his plan to do it and told him to just stay away from being a champion. Yujin knew what he wanted at that time. However, since he
After the explosion, which had obviously had repercussions throughout the entire colony, the alarm of the colony's siren, which had been silent for a considerable amount of time, sounded. The unexpected sound caught everyone off guard, particularly because the majority of them had never heard it before.After hearing the warning scream of the siren, all of the people in the thirteenth colony once again began to shake, and fear began to well up inside of them in anticipation of the abomination that was coming their way. More than a mile away, across the twelfth colony, was the location of the most recent close-range siren the people from the thirteenth colony had ever heard. It was when the same kinds of monsters were able to break through the barrier of the colony and destroy the entire area, leaving almost no one alive after they did so. Even their crystal fortress in the twelfth colony was not able to hold up for very long in the face of the overwhelming amount of pressure that
