Glory Hunt's

ARC 1 [The Arrival] Part 1

It was a beautiful day, just like any other day. People go about their day, doing various activities, both alone and with others. No one expected that the greatest event in history would happen in a matter of minutes. Something that ultimately changed the whole world order, reconstructed it from the beginning and created a new world, much different than we have been through.

I'm just a regular teenager, recently graduated High School and while looking for a job to pay my own tuition or at least ease the burden on both parents.

Step by step I went through, trying to get through the day even though it was too heavy a burden on my shoulders to feel like giving up and lying down, letting the calmness in sleep rule over me, enveloping me from the cruelty of the world, providing unmatched comfort, to be honest, as I needed it.

But of course I can't give up. Both my parents have not given up, while they have lived much longer and lived a much heavier life than I felt. Surrender? How weak would this be if such a thought arose within.

That is man, having so many weaknesses, weaknesses that are closed behind the mask of wealth and happiness.

Why wealthy? Who doesn't need money?

Only the thick wallet people say money does not bring happiness. If only they felt what I felt now, they would realize that their money, which was considered not to bring happiness, was actually the source of comfort that they now feel.

Hhh.. What's the point of complaining like this? Not that they will understand.

Our lives are too far away for them to understand. Better, I focus on my own life and keep moving forward rather than thinking unimportant things.

Without me realizing it, I had arrived in front of the Cafe, looking left and right to make sure I was not in the wrong place, as well as checking the situation. What did you say for? Let's just say, it has become a habit of men to see the situation if bad things happen, even though you are in the safest place in the world though.

The door opened, pushing a small bell up there, giving a beautiful, melodious chant that caught the attention of Cafe employees. He was operating the coffee machine with a focused gaze as if he was creating a 'masterpiece' before his concentration was disturbed, resulting in a slight mistake that made him cluck annoyed.

The long black hair waved as he walked, putting a cup of coffee on the table, watching him for a moment as I guessed to find the location of the mistake in order to repeat it again. In less than two seconds, his head nodded in satisfaction, then watched me with a pair of eyes as blue as the ocean, eye color that should be very rarely encountered, especially in this country.

"Can I help you?" Ask him, making me a little surprised to hear a voice as sweet as honey.

"Sorry to have interrupted his time, is it true that Cafe Corner is looking for a new employee? As a Waiter" I answered without taking my eyes off a pair of hypnotizing eyes.

He nodded, watching me for a moment (Maybe judging my appearance? I don't know), then nodding steadily "Yupp, you're the man we're looking for. However, before that, do you have any experience in the service field?"

"Of course, also as a Waiter, for a year" I answered briefly, hearing the noise in the distance that I had guessed because of a small problem. It is common in this country.

"Ohhh, that's good! Hhh, I've been really tired, keep putting on a friendly face towards the people who come here for the same reason, thinking they're acceptable just because of the face.

I mean, it's true that one of the Cafe's attractions is their employees, but that doesn't mean just because you're handsome or beautiful you can be accepted to work without an experience" His complaints while shaking his head remembering these annoying memories.

I'm not surprised to hear that, especially in today's world where many think if they're famous on the internet then you can do everything. Especially in CC (Cafe Corner). Cafe which is one of the best Cafe with some movies has used Cafe as their background, of course they want to defend the title.

Unfortunately before he could open his mouth, out there, people were running around hysterically, screaming in fear. It was clearly visible on their faces every time they looked back, trying to escape from something.

I walked out, pushing the door to make the bell clink again, quickly dodging when a mid-thirty man almost hit me for running with his eyes constantly pointing back.

In the distance, there could be the sound of an unfamiliar roar, a roar that caused this entire ground to tremble so strongly that it felt like it would break the ears. However, as someone who loved fantasy things so much, I ran in the opposite direction from them, trying to figure out where the roar came from, trying to figure out if this was just a dream or reality.

At the time, I didn't know what was bad or not. Life is too monotonous with the same cycle. Honestly, I'm sick of it. But, if this were the reality, the fact that I could die quickly would be due to a small mistake..

I don't think so, of course not! That's much better!

At least I died of an incredible adventure rather than a miserable life without a challenge. The challenge I've always wanted! The one I've been looking for all this time! That's my call! Start a new life!

I ran looking for him, my heart was racing without my control, either because of fear or adrenaline that began to flow rapidly until this body felt light.

A car drove very fast, a sharp turn that unfortunately made the car overturned and slammed towards me. If only I had avoided it too late, I would have died here, died without knowing the truth, died without being able to feel the dream I had been craving for!

Unbeknownst to me, I had already jumped high, avoiding the car that was now half of it in a building. I hope the driver is okay even though it is less likely for a human to live after being slammed in a wheeled iron box like that.

I landed safely as if I had just jumped as usual, like a human.

Surprised? Panic? Proudly?

I don't know what I'm feeling right now, the one thing I know is that I just avoided the door of death.

Can you imagine?! Avoid the door of death! Only people with a high level of luck can do it!

Without waiting, I ran back.

The road was not full, it began to be empty and empty until finally only one or two people were left who I thought were the last humans in this area besides myself who stood right in the middle of the road, he said, still watching the figure in front, a figure that only I have seen in the film, in the comics or just as an illustration.

The creature, now in front, is slightly hidden behind a puff of smoke. But that pair of magnificent wide wings could not lie.

He again roared loudly, giving strong pressure until now the land trembled as if an earthquake was happening. I tried to hold on, but in the end fell backwards, silent in place and unable to do anything as the creature stepped forward, creating a powerful thumping sound from each pair of legs.

Ah, what a beautiful creature. I will not regret dying after watching him, watching the creatures of legend, myth, creatures that I thought I would never see with the naked eye for real.

He looked at me with a pair of hazel-colored reptilian eyes, looking so sharp and terrifying. When the mouth opened with an orange glow started to appear from the inside, I thought, this is the time, the time for me to leave the world.

Yet..

"What are you doing!?"

At the same time as the fire gushed, someone stood in front of me, tightly grasping a huge shield no less majestic than the wings of the dragon.

The fire struck, scattered in various directions, unable to penetrate the strong defenses of the silver shield. I could not see the figure who had saved my life because of the light produced from the resistance in front to know my body was in the air.

A pair of hands were felt under both arms, lifting me high up, taking me away from the battle area where three people came from the top of the skyscraper, before finally jumping down to face the dragon with himself, the unexpected figure was the owner of the magnificent shield.

The cafe employee!
