This man is known as Stanley, and he kindly provides food in the form of meat and vegetables. But the man in front of him prefers meat, he doesn't even like plants. He eagerly eats the meat, no wonder the man needs nutrition, after not waking up for 6 long years, Stanley almost lost hope the man would ever be saved.
A truly unexpected miracle, even though he has been asleep for quite a long, the man is still healthy as if he just woke up.
"You indeed have such a big appetite..." Stanley said.
Once finished eating, the man raised his head, looking puzzled at Stanley's words.
"Am I not supposed to eat this kind of food?" he asked innocently.
"No, you're not wrong, you do need a lot of nutrients right now, your condition is not very good! However, you still have to endure the problems that arise..."
"I see..."
Stanley stood up, then he went to the door. "I'll go first, you stay here! While I'm gone, don't do anything, stay calm, and later I will tell you something..."
Left alone in this room began to make him feel lonely, the room was filled with strange objects. There were stacks of neatly arranged books and some parts of living beings such as heads and other objects.
"What actually happened here? Why am I in this creepy place? Wait, who am I really?"
His head was triggered by strange things, a shadow flashed showing unclear events.
"Argh... what was that earlier? Why do I have this headache?" he asked with a critical expression.
Not long after, Stanley returned, seeing the man sitting quietly contemplating with a serious face.
Hearing footsteps, he turned around.
"How are you feeling now? Are you better?"
"Yes, I'm fine! I remember what happened, I am the head of the security division, G4, and my name is Zeigar..." Zeigar replied clearly, but he didn't immediately show a happy expression. He stared at Stanley as if he had the urge to pounce.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Stanley asked confusedly, trying to brace himself, if there were any unexpected actions, he might not survive.
"It's strange, I remember my body being torn apart by monsters, and it's impossible to come back to life! But why am I still alive, and why do my eyes see things in such a strange way?"
Taking a long breath, Stanley could interpret that Zeigar wouldn't act aggressively like a fool in any unexpected situation.
Zeigar also saw that his hands were strange. Some parts of his body seemed to have much tougher skin.
Instead of answering Zeigar's words, Stanley walked towards the table and then took a mirror.
"Use this mirror, see for yourself what your face looks like..."
He quickly took the mirror, reluctantly lifting it, trembling with quickened breaths. His eyes widened as he saw his current face.
"I-Is this really my face?" he asked, feeling his face, and it turned out his right hand also had the same skin. Scaly and black, his eyes even looked like a wild reptile.
"That's your body that I found, to be honest when I found you, you didn't have a chance to live, but I tried to save you by combining some monster organs found at the location! Turns out your body can fuse quickly, you even managed to remember who you are..."
Silent with a shocked face, Zeigar couldn't even move, and just stood there with drooping hands.
"It seems after this, I won't be able to reach Doom Mega..."
"Doom Mega, so you come from there?" Stanley stood with raised eyebrows.
"Yes, I do come from there!"
"So that's it, turns out you are a human who survived the terrible events in this environment, but I didn't expect you to survive despite being in a condition filled with these monsters..."
"Yes, maybe as you said earlier, I am just lucky to survive this condition, if it weren't for you, I would have died for sure! But why should I be saved, when it would be better if I died and didn't have to be in this world anymore?" Zeigar's pupils dilated, he raised his face and looked towards Stanley.
Stanley shuddered again at the man's gaze, feeling pressured by Zeigar's terrifying left eye.
"You are human, but how could you be outside Doom Mega? Isn't that impossible?"
Stanley sighed tiredly after hearing this, he really wanted to distance himself from all of this. But it was too late, he wouldn't be able to avoid this, if left alone, Zeigar would probably seek information on his own."Alright, I'll tell you a little, why I'm here! But before that happens, I want you to come with me first!"
Zeigar saw that in front of him was only a dark hallway, the lantern light carried by Stanley only served as their illumination. After walking for a while, they arrived in a different room.
Zeigar was asked to look out the window of that room, his eyes looked surprised as he watched strange creatures passing by, they lived like ordinary humans.
"Wait, who are they really? And why do they have many forms like mine?"
Stanley walked with a gloomy face. "They are humans like you, but for a reason, they slowly undergo transformation! Unlike you who became like this due to chance, their bodies became like that because of a virus that will make everyone experience it..."
Thump...
Zeigar's heartbeat increased, he held his body with such strong pain.
"So I'm not alone in experiencing this! But, why did they suddenly experience all this? What's happening here?" he asked thirstily for clarity...
"They became like this not by personal choice, but it's already a natural law that causes many humans to turn into half-monsters!"
"Does this also happen to plants and animals?"
"Animals and plants are indeed susceptible to the virus, but the most dominant ones are animals that can be affected by this disease! For years I've been trying to find a way to eliminate this virus, but it can't be done! Over the decades, I've learned the bodies of defeated monsters will have a bad impact, and when that happens, all humans will turn into beasts...."
"Who has done this? Isn't it the same as making all human life suffer?" Zeigar asked, strengthening his veins.
"All of this happened because of the human system itself..."
"Eh..."
"At first, humans didn't change naturally, but were made by knowledge, to differentiate caste..."
__To Be Continued__
"How's his condition?" Zeigar asked his colleague who was currently examining the condition of a young man.After being touched on the neck and then checking the pulse at the wrist, Leyana turned with a shaking head.The signs were clear that death was a common occurrence."Oh, I see!" Zeigar uttered with a sad tone. In front of him, it wasn't just the young man who had died, but there were also others who had experienced similar fates.The sea of lifeless bodies was clearly visible before his eyes. Not long after, a car arrived, and they were members of G4 led by Zeigar.The two people driving the car immediately approached Zeigar."Leader, we want to report, that we found another 12 people dead..." said a man named Noum with a mournful tone accompanied by a gaze towards the ground."Yes, bring them all out, and line them up with the other victims..."At this command, all the G4 members worked to take out the bodies. They found a fact that many of these bodies were in bad condition.
"Leader, aren't we supposed to protect the southern district?" Leyana asked, furrowing her brows.Indeed, they were a division tasked with security, and it was their duty to protect the city from various threats."But, do you forget who we are?"Leyana was shocked by this statement, her expression faltering with pursed lips. "We are G4, tasked with securing against all anomalies," she replied weakly."That's right, we are the ones who must carry out the duty of eliminating all threats!"However, despite all the explanations, Leyana's face remained uneasy. She continued to bow her head, wearied. Her head felt reluctant to lift, slowly feeling a gentle touch.Her pupils widened suddenly, her eyes showing surprise at what was happening, then she raised her head."Eh..."It was Zeigar's hand, already friendly, reaching out to touch her head."You stay here with the others; I entrust the task of protecting this city to you! If I don't return, I hope you'll become the leader of this divisio
They never thought that there would be a monster so fast to approach the combat vehicle; this creature forced itself through the carriage which was about to be opened.The sudden shock triggered the alarm system loudly; the members inside were shaken and stumbled."Damn..." Zeigar swiftly pulled out his rifle.Bang...And without further ado, he released a barrage of shots that slammed the monster's body to the ground. It seemed to be sprawled out after being hit.Now, one carriage door was already open, revealing a group of monsters with different forms."Why are they working together? Aren't they creatures of different species?" Nelia asked, her eyes widened in astonishment.Cases like this were rare, even for Zeigar, who had long served as security personnel, rarely encountered such a situation. But, that didn't mean it was impossible."Everyone, prepare your weapons! We'll soon take down these creatures; they're the ones responsible for the suffering of the southern district and h
This situation truly challenges Zeigar and his comrades; they must quickly resolve this problem.However, it's not as easy as that. Indeed, Dohn has started moving towards their location, but it still takes time. On the other side, the monster is already hastening its steps, leaving them with no time left."True..." An idea flashed in Zeigar's mind; immediately, he checked the condition of each member. It appeared that Rega was in a difficult situation, surrounded by monsters."Rega..." Zeigar shouted, making Rega turn his head in surprise."Uh...""Use Flare to blind all the monsters here temporarily.""But..." A situation like this wouldn't be easy to handle, especially for a beginner like him. Even moving his hands were trembling, and here he was instructed to use Flare.Flare is a special ability of the device owned by Rega. When used, it emits a bright light that can blind eyes for a while. Moreover, this effect can also affect those around them."We're out of time. If we don't a
The increase in strength had already occurred, with high speed attacks toward the monsters. The condition that made those monsters confused gave an advantage to Zeigar.Crash..."Tsk...." But, even though there was an increase in strength, it didn't mean it would give a weakness against the monsters.For example, the gorilla monster, the monster's body defense was considered very strong to the point that it was not easy to injure. Zeigar's sword pierced, and it was difficult to pull it back.Dash...And, this immediately made Zeigar's body a soft target, he rolled several meters, but still managed to get up. Damage to his equipment occurred.Thirty percent of his equipment was damaged, but it was still good enough to use.Tap! Tap...His eyes looked towards the source of the sound, it turned out to be the monster he had seen earlier. It seemed the creature didn't stop, instead, it moved to chase the combat vehicle that was driving.Deliberately, Dohn slowed down this vehicle, he knew
Zom wondered in his mind if he had done something wrong for Rega to stare at him so seriously like this."What?" Zom asked boldly."Can you shoot this?"Zom looked at the round object in Rega's hand, and it turned out to be a Flare Ball that would emit bright light when used.Quickly, Zom grabbed the ball, realizing that was the remaining chance."Alright, I'll do it." After saying this, he inserted the ball into the muzzle of the rifle, which seemed fitting for it.This was not a bullet or ammunition that could be launched right away. If the desired speed was to be achieved, it wouldn't be able to inflict damage.Dohn glanced back to assess the situation, seeing that Zom had already aimed the rifle upwards."What is he going to do?"Dash...Rumbling occurred again, the monster's hand was becoming more visible, and even its head could now enter, soon destroying the carriage.Bangs...Zom patiently waited for the right moment, then he saw the face of the monster about to peek into the
The security system had detected a signal, and after checked, it was identified as a G4 vehicle engaged in pursuit."We request permission to re-enter the city environment!" Dohn exclaimed to the security monitor.The security monitor members were immediately confused. They noticed the combat vehicle seemed to have suffered damage, with dents on the top.Arriving in the city area, they headed straight to the G4 headquarters. On the city streets, some people took notice of the vehicle, even able to see the gloomy faces of its passengers.Upon reaching the headquarters, some other members were already awaiting their arrival. They were greeted by Lara and Leyana.All the members got out of the vehicle, but they didn't seem enthusiastic. Some realized the members present were incomplete."Where's Leader Zeigar?" Leyana asked, her tone filled with hope.They couldn't provide the answer she hoped for; their eyes remained downcast.Leyana's face turned pale instantly. Without being told, she
"So that's how it is!" Hinz snorted firmly after Lara explained everything that had happened. But, with determination, he looked towards the four G4 members who were present.They all seemed subdued, merely lowering their faces with expressions full of regret."Commander, allow us to send some members to save Leader Zeigar..." Lara immediately requested this, her tone firm as she spoke."Hmmm..." Hinz snorted, observing the seriousness of this woman. Then he said, "I refuse..."All pulses suddenly surged, no one expected Hinz to easily say such a thing, especially since Zeigar was known to always obey the commander's orders."But why can't we conduct a search?" Lara asked, her tone rising."It's pointless, Zeigar is likely already dead, he wouldn't survive in an environment filled with monsters! It's useless for you to search for him, it would only waste time and energy, not to mention the losses that would be incurred! I heard the combat vehicle that should support the safety of ever
