Apocalypse After

Apocalypse After

Date 01, month 03, year 398 black lunar calendar.

The ancients said that man is the source of sin and error. That is why ...the world hates mankind and decides to eliminate them.

The ancients said that man was on top of the world. They build skyscrapers, drive ‘besi’ that can walk on land, sea, even fly in the air.

I feel like it's just a fairy tale that elders tell children to think that humans are more special beings.

On the one hand, I do agree that humans are special creatures. However, I also feel that humans are actually still mediocre and far from the best word, let alone the top of the food chain.

Humans are indeed quite special because they can combine themselves with ‘miracle root’ and evolve. However, in reality, I wonder if the so-called evolution is still useful?

Hundreds of years of human struggle, but they never at all return what they call ‘glory’. On the contrary, the longer, the fewer the number of humans. In fact, I think humans could be extinct at any time if the creatures called ‘the real ruler’ were to move.

A human? Top of the food chain? You must be kidding me.

Rather than being at the top of the food chain, I would rather liken humans to maggots. Yes ... humans are more like maggots that gnaw carcasses. Can't fight, just watch the fight of powerful creatures, and take the rest of the carcass to survive.

Disgustful? That's fact. Life is cruel and we can't keep going if we keep trying to be too high.

I think it's better for humans to be humble than to pretend to be arrogant and end up being grabbed to death.

Today is still the same day as always. Other than writing at night, I can't do anything because I haven't found any clues about the creature's whereabouts. But I still can't give up. That obnoxious fellow has given his life to me, so I have to take responsibility.

Really, being the last successor was really troublesome.

...

In a small room, a young man closed a notebook made from the skin of an unknown beast.

The young man then kept the book and walked towards the strange lantern. In it there was no fire, but a kind of plant, or rather a strange moss that lit up with a green color.

Not so bright, not so dim, but enough to give light and warmth in the narrow room.

The young man took the lantern. He took her to a corner of the room. After that the young man opened the pottery cover containing a little water. He then took the moss out of the lantern and put it in the container.

“Air is almost finished? Looks like I should go pick up again tomorrow.”

The young man stroked his chin. After closing the container, he let out a long sigh.

“Luck it's still spring. If summer came, it would definitely have to travel too far to look for it. Really not comparable to the result.”

After shaking his head lightly, the young man went to his bed. Not a type of soft mattress or anything like that, but just compacted flat soil. A little higher than the floor he used to walk on.

Lie on top of ‘rangk’ while looking at the ceiling which is a land full of rocks.

Yep. The place where Alexander now lived was no ordinary house. However a ‘kamar’ made in a large cave. One of the mid-level shelters that was under the reign of Blood Cross.

Just closing his eyes, Alexander felt his stomach roar. Obviously starving, but not making him wake up to eat something.

‘This damned world .. why should I continue to survive and torture myself in this way?’

‘Really sucks.’

...

Next morning.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

Hearing the knock on the door, Alexander who had just been carried away felt extremely annoyed. The young man got up from his bed and opened the door. When he saw the figure of the young man standing in front of the door, he felt shocked.

“What are you doing here so early in the morning, Kid?”

A brown-haired youth with a dirty appearance, a thin body, and a somewhat frantic expression stood in front of Alexander's room. The boy was named Kid. Not a famous figure in this sanctuary, but Alexander still knew him.

“K-Kak Al, Boss ... Boss has an accident!” said Kid in a messy and hasty tone.

Hearing Kid's words, Alexander's eyes immediately widened. His hands immediately clenched and he immediately cursed coldly.

“Claude ... B-the son of a bitch is definitely doing reckless things again!”

After calming down, Alexander immediately looked at Kid then nodded lightly.

“Is he in his room now? Already back?”

“Ya!”

“Then you can go back and rest. Don't forget to clean yourself, it must be difficult to follow the person.”

“Good!”

Seeing Kid leave, Alexander took his robe and walked out of his room without eating or drinking. He closed the door and locked it, then went to where Claude was.

Outside the room, there was a very large cave with a hollow ceiling. Along the walls of the giant cave, there are many ‘lubang’ which are the rooms where people live. In this mid-level shelter, there were at least hundreds of people living.

Alexander could not call it much, but it was already good enough in this world where humans were almost extinct. After all, there was not only one shelter. There's still plenty of shelter out there.

In addition, living and living are different things. Here, there is a tax on living in one of the rooms. If they do not give a certain amount of food every week, they should do menial work. So it's normal that one or two people die every few weeks.

Taxes and jobs are a matter of staying. But there is another more important problem, which is food and water. Arguably, normal citizens living in this place were even worse than beggars or vagabonds in the heyday of man.

Eating once a day is good. Eating two days once is normal. That's how they've lived until now.

Arriving at a certain room, Alexander immediately opened the door without permission. He then saw a fairly handsome, blonde-haired young man with blue eyes lying on the bed. There was a terrible looking wound on his stomach. Merely, instead of grimacing in pain, the young man instead smiled sillyly.

“Are you getting crazy lately? You actually come out more often when you are not short of food. Do you feel like your life is taking too long? Jump out to kill yourself?”

Instead of speaking softly and putting on a worried expression, Alexander immediately cursed Claude with a cold expression. The young man looked to hate iron but not steel. Obviously Claude is quite talented, but silly and reckless. Almost died a few times.

Claude himself was not angry. Seeing Alexander approaching, he immediately grabbed his wrist and said seriously.

“I've found ‘itu’, Al!”

Hearing Claude's words, the pupils in Alexander's eyes instantly narrowed. I was obviously shocked by his best friend's words.
