INJUSTICE: Save Human Or Surrender

#25 The Outer World

Hundreds of years later after everything changed.

Tiberiu Life.

"Dad!" the cry of little Tiberiu approached his father, King Loritz XI who was sitting in the king's seat.

Little Tiberiu insisted on seeing his father because he had not been with his beloved father for several days since he was busy.

"Son, sorry. Father is busy" said King Loritz XI, displaying his forced smile before the little Tiberiu who arrived before him.

"But, Yeah …."

"Dad beg you please understand father, yes!" asserted King Loritz XI to little Tiberiu.

Finally, the sad little Tiberiu was invited by a female servant to get out of the room. The maid escorted the little Tiberiu back to her room.

Upon arrival in the room, Tiberiu went straight to his white mattress and sat down by his bedside.

"Why don't you miss me?" he asked while looking at the clear sky at the window.

A maid who escorted him approached Tiberiu, who was sitting by the bedside, and hugged Tiberiu, who was grieving. His hand stroked Tiberiu's hair gently.

Tiberiu's small gaze remained on the window with a blank look.

"Your father is busy, Prince. Be patient."

"When should I be patient?!" snapped it.

The female servant only commented on the thin smile on her face. He doesn't know what to say especially.

"I want to meet mom" Tiberiu said suddenly.

Instantly the female servant fell silent.

"Dad never told mom where. I want to see Mom!" continued.

It appeared from the maid's face that she was keeping something inside of her. However, he could not reveal.

"Some day," he said.

The sentence continues to surround Tiberiu's mind until he has reached adulthood. He kept thinking about his mother who was never present in his life.

Lost in the earth.

Every day, Tiberiu never escapes his sight with the constantly changing concubines of his father. King Loritz XI was too busy with his concubines and work that there was no time at all for Tiberiu.

Like not having a father it feels like.

Very quiet ….

Tiberiu continued to stare at the full moon in the clear sky through the window of his room.

Looking at life out there ….

To vent the loneliness he has experienced during his life in this world.

Life as a demon prince did not make him happy. He just needs the care and affection of his father.

"Are you out there?" he murmured while staring at the night sky full of small stars scattered.

Do I have to meet my mother there?

Instantly, the thought was in his brain.

But the problem of getting out of the royal surroundings is really hard!

"And what's a survival game?" muttered.

Tiberiu has been curious about it ever since he accidentally walked into his father's unlocked study this afternoon. The atmosphere of his father's workspace filled with books and sheets of paper scattered on the table managed to attract Tiberiu's attention to explore.

Instantly his gaze was fixed on one of the paper leaflets in the form of a report.

"Survival game"

"Survival games?"

However, he could not linger observing the paper leaflet. Tiberiu decided to take the paper leaflet quietly and straight out of his father's study. Fortunately, no one knew the action.

After the paper was taken, he opened it and read under the clear night sky. Look at every letter written there.

"Report of Game Survival Results Every Year"

Tiberiu looked at each number on the table. That number is increasing year by year. Tiberiu's thoughts continued to raise many questions regarding the paper leaflets he held. He didn't even know about the game before.

Did you deliberately hide this from me?

Tiberiu was increasingly curious about the information regarding this game.

"It's exciting!" muttered.

Tiberiu decided to continue investigating information related to the survival of this game. For him, this is an interesting thing to know more deeply.

However, he did not dare to ask about this to his father. On the one hand, because he rarely started a conversation with his father, it caused an awkward nature between the two. On the one hand, he did not want to make his father angry at him for knowing his affairs.

In addition to tracing information about survival games, Tiberiu also looks for ways to get out of the world that has kept himself constrained.

A world that keeps itself lonely.

His determination was really mature and round.

He could only tell his plans with one of the female servants who had always been faithful to accompany him since childhood.

"I need your help!" tiberiu said after a lengthy explanation before one of the female servants loyal to him.

This conversation lasted four eyes in Tiberiu's quiet room. There was only a gust of wind outside and the rustling of tree leaves.

"Sorry, Prince. I really can't give you any help with your dangerous plans" replied the maid.

Tiberiu clasped the hand of the maid and looked at her eyes with earnest eyes.

"I beg you very much, I want to meet my mother and also see the outside world" explained Tiberiu. "I don't want my life to be curbed like this!"

"T—but, Prince …."

"We're going out together to the outside world!"

Instantly the servant woman's gaze rounded.

"The king will punish me!" said it. "They're gonna find us all the way to the end of the world where the Prince knows."

"But my resolve is already unanimous" said Tiberiu with an earnest look. "I can't beat this determination of mine!"

"Please!" tiberiu said in a pleading tone to the female servant who was insisting.

There was silence for a few moments.

"All right," said the maid. A look of resignation was implied in both of his eyes.

"I'll help you get out of here."

"really?" ask Tiberiu to make sure.

The female servant nodded softly with a resigned gaze staring at Tiberiu.

He wanted to make his master's son happy and free.

"So when are you gonna get out of here?"

"Around noon tomorrow. I wait for the weather to allow me to escape" explained Tiberiu.

Daytime is the golden time for him to launch an act of self-rescue from this place of hell. Demons cannot move during the day, especially if the weather is bright and hot.

After a long discussion about planning blurred, finally found its bright spot.

The next day, the demon community decided to stay silent in their homes because they could not stand the sun.

Even if it happened to Tiberiu, he had to fight it all.

I'd rather be sunburned than not escape from this place.

The maid gave a thick cloak to protect Tiberiu from the sun, as well as a disguise of traces. This action was done secretly. Many guards stood swiftly around the castle, but in the end they both got through it and arrived on the ground floor.

"I want the prince to keep this" said the maid, giving her a piece of paper bearing a star-shaped emblem and ancient Latin letters inside.

"What's this?"

"This is the secret code to the human world" he replied.

"You can use this once you arrive at the vast, silent pastures of the Southeast region."

"You have to follow the direction of the sun to get there" the woman explained.

"Alright," said Tiberiu, who was trying to understand the woman's explanation. "Where did you get this from?"

"I've got it from Mr. King's office, then I made a copy for you" he explained at length. "I hope you can understand my image, but it's more or less like that."

"Alright," said Tiberiu. Instantly he was confused by the appearance of the servant woman who had not prepared at all. "You're not coming?"

The female servant instantly fell silent and showed a sad look. He wept before Tiberi, who was about to leave him.

Forever.

"I can't, Prince. Forgive me!" said the maid.

Tiberiu immediately rubbed the wet face of the maid. "I'm sorry that I've been bothering you so much while I'm here."

The lady's servant just smiled. Then he said, "This is all for the good, Prince. Run and pursue your dream that you've been craving for!"

"Now that the Prince is gone, I fear that you will be caught by the castle guards later," said the maid, smiling while still shedding tears.

Tiberiu directly exited the back door of the castle and stared at the female servant's face from a distance.

A happy look was implied in his view.

Tiberiu immediately waved at the woman and immediately left the castle area by entering the dense forest area behind the castle.

The initial mission was successfully completed.

Arriving in the dense forest, the sunlight that had stung the skin of his face was instantly blocked by the forest leaves. Cold air is felt by the pores of his skin.

Tiberiu continued to explore the forest as far as possible.

There is no limit to this forest.

He had to save himself before the castle guards and King Loritz XI met him.

Sorry, Dad!

Sorry, people!

I have to meet my mother and head for a better world.

After running through the forest as far as possible,

"Home?"

Suddenly Tiberiu finds an uninhabited little house in the middle of the forest. The house is made of wood and seems to have stood for a long time.

He was tempted to enter the empty house. On the one hand, he felt lucky to have found a house when he was tired.

Tiberiu began to step into the house. Wood creaking sounds when his feet touch the floor.

It's dark...

"Hello?" tiberiu said as he opened the door of the house. I hope you find someone inside.

There's no answer.

"Alright, I rest here first" he murmured.

The day is getting late in the afternoon making the atmosphere of the sky become orange.

Tiberiu immediately made light of the fire before the day began at night because there was no lighting in this house at all.

Suddenly something caught his attention. Right on the wall of a very small room in the old house, there was a small red button.

What button is this?

"For lighting, is it?"

Tiberu did not know the usefulness of the button and appeared suddenly. His heart was tempted to press the mysterious button.

However, there is a feeling not to push the button. However, the premonition was defeated with curiosity.

"Please don't touch that button!" Suddenly a human appeared right beside Tiberiu. The human view strictly forbids him to touch that thing.

Tiberiu was surprised by the presence of the stranger.

This is the first time I have met a human.

"Who are you?"

"I'm a victim of that button. You don't touch that thing!" the mysterious man.

"Victim? Whatchu mean?" tiberiu asked who was getting curious.

"Anyway no! Or you'll be sorry!" yells.

"I don't know what you mean and who you are" Tiberiu said as he stared at the person's strange eyes.

Tiberiu immediately pressed the foreign button. He didn't care about the strange man's explanation.

Stay in the heart.

"You will feel the real hell there" said the man and then disappeared from beside Tiberiu.

Suddenly the world changed.

He moved to another place, a foreign place. Not in the wooden house, but arrived at a vast meadow with a large object lying there. The large object has propellers on its right wing and left wing.

The blue sky supported the current atmosphere.

"Where am I?!" said it. Panic began to creep into her.

The button took itself away to another world.

A group of people were present around him with blank eyes.

Some are silent,

Someone ran here and there, and,

There are also those who are starting a fistfight with other humans.

Why are they so weird?!

What's wrong with me?

Where am I now?!

"D—and myself …." Tiberi looked at both of his hands. Instantly he transformed into a human figure.

His gaze turned to look around back. Either every time he looked at the wandering humans, the soul of the desire to eat them appeared.

"Damn!" his gerrick. Tiberiu had to endure his desires.

This must be a trap! I can't let my guard down!

--

The castle after a few hours of Tiberiu's departure.

A maid who told Tiberiu to flee was immediately summoned by King Loritz XI.

The woman was already prepared to receive the most severe punishment from her master for her actions.

To free Tiberiu from the place where his soul was restrained.

King Loritz XI looked at the female servant with a sinister look. His anger was already on the threshold.

"Did you see Tiberiu?" asked King Loritz XI who was sitting in the king's seat. Embark on an introration witnessed by several demons in a spacious room.

"No, Your Grace. I don't see the Prince" the maid replied.

"really?" ask King Loritz XI to be sure.

"Then what is this?" he asked while showing me a piece of paper.

The blurred strategy paper that Tiberiu made.

"This thing is in his room" said King Loritz XI. "And you still don't want to admit it's your fault?"

The female servant's gaze was immediately rounded staring at the piece of paper held by King Loritz XI.

"YOU'VE LET THE BOY GO!" snapped it.

"I really don't know, Your Majesty!" the maid continued to insist on covering up her truth to protect Tiberiu who was searching for a new world.

"Please punish her death!" exclaim King Loritz XI told his soldiers to execute the servant right now.

The four soldiers instantly forcibly pulled the arm of the female servant and dragged her away from King Loritz XI.

"DON'T, YOUR MAJESTY! I BEG YOUR FORGIVENESS!" the maid shouted while crying. He also moved away from the room.

The sinister gazes of King Loritz XI and some of the other demons who witnessed this incident looked at the female servant until they were nowhere to be seen.

The four warriors commanded by King Loritz XI took the female servant to the basement.

A special room to punish the demons who were declared to have violated the rules of the kingdom.

"Please I don't want to be put to death! I'm really sorry!!"

The four warriors paid no heed to the woman and continued dragging her until she arrived at the deadly room.

The body pulling device was waiting for him.

The female servant was immediately placed on a wooden board. She kept crying and raving. Both of his legs were tied by a rope at the bottom and both of his hands were also tied by a rope on the lever. Once he was perfectly bound, the two castle warriors pulled the lever until the body of the servant woman was detached from each other.

The female servant was pronounced dead on the spot.

At that time, King Loritz XI immediately launched the tracking strategy of Tiberiu.

Tiberiu is now a fugitive of the demon kingdom.

--

A large object that he saw in the middle of the meadow, now drove him to a remote island.

There are so many humans in this.

Their eyes were empty!

It was as if something was controlling their minds.

Tiberiu's mind was still surrounded by many questions regarding his current situation.

Suddenly a door of this thing opened wide. The wind blew fiercely, almost throwing his body out. Instantly some humans started to come out of this flying object.

Do I have to get out now?

However, his heart felt afraid to get out of this thing. However, he cannot avoid this moment and must face it.

With a strong determination, Tiberiu headed straight for the exit and threw his body in the misty sky. His breathing was so tight from the strong wind. His body began to follow the rhythm of the wind.

He goes where the wind will take him.

Beeep .. beeep .

"Eh?"

An alarm came from an object that was binding on his wrist.

"What's this tool?" he murmured while staring at the device that sounded.

"OPEN YOUR PARACHUTE!"

The sentence continues to appear on the screen of the tool followed by its procedure.

With a feeling of panic running through his mind, he immediately pulled the parachute in his bag out. A little more if not directly pulled, his body will hit the sloping ground. With this parachute he can land perfectly.

After removing the large parachute from his bag, Tiberiu immediately ran as far as possible. He didn't know where to go and kept running. Suddenly the sound of gunfire was heard clearly around him.

Death island...

He kept running until he was safe. After running as far away as possible, Tiberiu finally found a pink multi-storey house.

"Home!" exclaimed Tiberiu who directly entered the multi-storey house.

There's no one at all. However, a lot of war equipment and medical equipment scattered on each floor.

He immediately took one of the dark brown assault rifles and the bullet.

"How do I use this?"

Tiberiu watched the heavy object closely.

There's no way to wear it.

Although Tiberiu did not know how to use the foreign object, he still carried it. He also took some other items that were considered necessary during this war.

Beep .

Tiberiu's gaze was fixed on the device on his wrist.

The device displays colorful dots scattered throughout the area.

It turned out that the dots were his teammates who each landed in different places.

Far-away.

However, one of his teammates was located not far from his current location. The blue dot is about 78 km from it.

"All right!" said it. Tiberiu immediately rushed out while carrying war supplies including an assault rifle that he continued to hold.

Tiberiu must fight his fearful self to survive in this terrible situation.

After running towards the wind in the tool, Tiberiu finally managed to find his teammate who was behind a large tree. His face seemed to panic once upon seeing Tiberiu's presence right beside him.

"Eh?" The sentence instantly came out of his mouth while staring at Tiberiu. His body was shaking.

"K—we're a team and I don't intend to kill you," explained Tiberiu as he looked at the frightened human face.

"J—DON'T COME NEAR ME!" suddenly snapped.

"Or I'll kill you!" continued.

"Calm down, I wouldn't do that. We must fight together!" tiberiu. Trying to melt the hard heart of man.

That man should have been his prey. In these circumstances is the best time to ambush and eat his body.

But he seemed to refuse.

The human spirit of fear and panic made Tiberiu's soul feel it. A feeling of pity instantly surfaced in the depths of his deepest heart.

Cuuuss

"IE!!!" Suddenly the man groaned in pain.

A distant shotgun hit his chest.

It turned out that he had been targeted by the enemy from afar.

The man groaned in pain while gripping his chest which started to bleed a lot. With a swift, Tiberiu immediately aimed at the direction of the enemy who had shot his teammate.

With a trembling body, Tiberiu kept trying to find the enemy figure using binoculars that were already attached to the assault rifle he took.

"Because of you!"

DOR

The man died with just one shot.

Tiberiu immediately led his friend to the back of the tree by dragging him. Blood was increasingly pouring out flooding the green grass around the tree. Tiberiu immediately took the medical equipment in the form of bandages from his bag. However, the wound was severe and deep. Just a bandage alone would have no effect on him.

Shortly after, several enemies came towards the two of them using vehicles. They continued to throw Tiberiu and his team-mates grenades, making the view around a fog and both their views became sore.

"Damn!" grouse Tiberiu. "Your injuries are too bad!"

"Please save me!" the man who was half dying. His face slowly turned blue due to lack of oxygen and blood.

Tiberiu had to find a way for the man to survive.

Suddenly, a human approached them in a strange vehicle.

"Prick protect us!" tiberiu panicked. Tells the woman to protect herself and her dying teammates.

The woman immediately approached the two of them who were surrounded in the midst of smoke grenades that blinded the view. He seemed worried about his one-man people who were lying weak.

But destiny says something else.

The man was instantly unconscious and pronounced dead in this battle.

Instantly Tiberiu's heart stopped seeing his teammates dead followed by a drop of tears drenching his face that turned human like them.

This time he felt this feeling.

Is this what we call human feeling?

The feeling of losing someone he had just met.

"Let's spend those bastards!" tiberiu shouted, preparing to throw a grenade right at the enemy from behind a tree.

The woman nodded and in a countdown their action began. Right after the grenade arrived before them and instantly exploded, the sound of gunfire was clearly heard. As the gunfire continued, some of them managed to fall lifeless, some were trying to escape with the vehicle they were using earlier. However, some of them were trapped because the vehicle they were using had exploded.

A chance to finish them off.

A lesson worthy of a life.

Suddenly the woman dropped herself.

A bullet managed to hit his calf until it spewed a lot of blood.

"You're shot!" tiberiu exclaimed with a panicked look at the woman's bleeding in her calf.

"We need to get out of here!" said the woman while enduring the pain she was suffering.

"But you must be bandaged first!"

"No need! We're heading straight for the nearest house. Help me stand up!"

Tiberiu immediately helped the woman stand up and left this dangerous location towards a house for temporary shelter.

A place full of death. Lots of bodies lurking on the fresh green grass.

Now the two of them are completely insecure and must hurry to save themselves.

Is this what Dad meant about survival games?

Where the humans are pitted against each other and must survive the only one.

"I can feel it."

... Thanks to the mysterious button.

Tiberiu decided to disguise his real name to 'Oliver'.

The name of his loyal female servant when playing together in the castle.

Tiberiu liked the name. Besides sounding unique, also the name is owned by one of his favorite characters in the hero game.

From then on, the name 'Oliver' continued to be stored in his brain's mind.

Eventually, the two of them arrived at a small house. Although small, but it does not bother them to take refuge.

However, after Tiberiu pulled the iron algae on the door of the house, a group of enemies appeared while aiming at the two of them.

One of the targets he killed was Tiberiu. Right in his head. Instantly he fell unconscious. The bullet hit his brain.

The noise deafened his sense of hearing.

Tiberiu could not rise at all. It was like something was holding his body back to rise.

The intention that came to him to help the woman named Rika, was instantly dashed.

His body is numb.

Ii'm sorry.

--

A few minutes after unconsciousness.

So dizzy!

Tiberiu.

He felt like he was asleep for a few hours. The bullet in his forehead closed. The bullet lodged in his head at first, then came out by itself. However, this dizziness still enveloped part of his head.

He forced himself to get up and immediately save himself.

But where is Rika?

Tiberiu decided to look for the woman with him. After a few steps to enter the forest area not far from his distance, his gaze was fixed on something.

"No way!" he said with his eyes fixed on a woman lying full of blood on her stomach.

She deeply regrets not saving Rika.

Now the woman was killed on the spot with a lot of bullets lodged in her body.

"It's a shame."

Suddenly the voice managed to surprise her who was fixated by Rika's body. Tiberiu turned his head slowly towards the presence of a human figure right behind him. A masked human immediately appeared while pointing an assault rifle at Tiberiu who was not holding any weapons.

"Sorry your friend is dead" he continued in a haughty tone.

Tiberiu remained silent. But his emotions are at the top.

"Relax. I'm sick of seeing you quiet in front of me!"

There was a momentary silence.

Instantly Tiberiu grinned at the masked man. "That's why I gave up in front of you, huh?"

The masked man was silent.

"You don't know who I am, do you?"

The masked man remained silent. However, his body started to tremble.

"A—what do you mean?!" ask the masked man.

"You can shoot me right now."

After hearing Tiberiu's words, the masked man shot Tiberiu several times. However, the bullets lodged in his stomach did not have an effect on him so that the bullets immediately fell by themselves.

"K—kau .…"

"Why? Shocked, huh?"

"Devil" continued the masked man. Instantly he dropped his assault rifle and stood before Tiberiu.

Suddenly Tiberiu immediately laughed evilly looking at the masked man who was beginning to fear with him. He began to reveal his true form that resembled a demon with fiery red eyes and a half-destroyed face.

It was like being in his world.

He immediately ambushed the victim in front of him with nails on his long, pointed fingers. Tearing his body apart and eating it.

He does not care if the masked man is female or male. For he has withstood the desire not to eat men since this battle began.

Also this was in retaliation for Rika's death as well as her uncontrolled emotional outbursts.

After an hour and a half in this kind of position, Tiberiu decided to escape from this cursed place.

He must be free from the place that has made him understand what loss and sorrow mean.

It hurt him.

He continued through the forest and crossed the sea as far as possible and followed the sunrise to the Southeast.

According to the orders of the maid.

To find a mother and see the outside world.

--

Arriving in the human world.

All his expectations have changed.

This world ... is so hard!

To survive in the human world is very difficult. Humans pass each other, not caring for her abandoned self in a shabby state.

For the sake of finding mom, I have to face all of this!

Suddenly an old man rebuked Tiberiu at the edge of the city.

"Hey, Son! You want?" the old man asked Tiberiu who looked hungry. The old man gave her a box of food.

Tiberiu was silent.

"You can't hear, can you?"

"Eng—gak em—I mean, t—thank you!" tiberiu replied nervously as he took the box of food from the hand of the fat old man.

He also sat down beside Tiberiu who immediately ate a piece of grilled chicken with a large glutton.

"You haven't eaten in days, have you?" asked the old man while observing Tiberiu who was so greedy eating a box of his food.

Tiberiu fell silent as he looked at the old man.

"I'm sorry I bothered you to eat, go on!" he said that was accompanied by a friendly smile.

"By the way, my name is Craig" said the old man as he watched the humans pass by. He waited for Tiberiu to finish eating.

"T—thank you, Mr. Craig. N—my name Tiberiu uh—," said Tiberiu. He accidentally mentioned his real name to Mr. Craig.

Damnit damnit!

"I'm so glad you ate it, Tiberiu!" said Mr. Craig looked at Tiberiu with a smile.

"It's leftovers from my restaurant and I feel a pity to be thrown away, so I decided to give it to the underprivileged around here."

Tiberiu simply fell silent as he finished the leftovers in the box in his grasp.

"Are you ready to come home with me?" ask Mr. Craig.

"P—home?"

Mr. Craig nodded. "I will adopt you as my foster child. You want to, right?"

Tiberiu nodded, signifying 'yes' to Mr. Craig.

From then on, Tiberiu officially became Mr.'s adopted son. Craig. He began to make a lot of friends at Mr.'s house. Craig. Most of them are the same age as him.

The day began to change.

Tiberiu's relationship with them became increasingly familiar. However, everything changes after they capture Tiberiu who accidentally eats Mr.'s body. Craig in the back of the house.

From then on, Tiberiu instantly removed traces from the humans and secluded himself in the dense forest. He instantly becomes a fugitive in the entire human city. The papers concerning his search were scattered everywhere.

Tiberiu decided not to use his real name again and changed the name to 'Oliver' as a disguise of his identity that was being threatened.

Mom, I'll see you!
