Red Merona

01 Welcome to Red Carpet

In a fantasy world filled with magic, contracts, spirits, fairies, subtle-sights, useless creatures, family burdens and other absurd things.

Um, sorry to the readers.

Before entering the story, as an opening, allow me to quote a word or a term that is often used by my circles, namely the words :

"The bad man is the good man who is hurt," 

The term is quite popular, right??

However, I think the term is less precise, although indeed everyone is born in good circumstances, but I think there is a more appropriate term than the term. That is :

"The bad guy is the bad guy who gets hurt,"

why that? 

Because most people who often feel hurt and experience discrimination are ugly people. 

Although there are indeed a small percentage of people who are above average who experience discrimination. However, in most cases in the field of life, if compared to people who are ugly, people who are beautiful will usually be easier to get something even without ever trying at all (especially if he is a woman), the, do you agree?

Regarding the differences, some even make up the term

"Efforting for ugly people is a waste of time,"

Have you heard that before?

Apologize for the fourth time, if I even discuss the term off-topic. "If it's off-topic why is it discussed?" I don't know, maybe it's just a preface that doesn't connect wkwk

Actually the core of this story is not those terms, but terms

"The wicked are the weak who are hurt."

Just heard??

"You want to make a story about bad people, don't use the frills of anu people, this person, that person is hurt. Want to be a bad person or good is a choice, especially if the weak, how can do evil!!!". After reading my obscure prologue, there may also be some who say like that wkwk.

Actually, you want to be a good person or a bad person, no need to wait for an excuse, it depends on your own wishes and choices. And really if the weak are very illogical to be able to do evil. Because people who are strong and have a position are actually the highest potential to be a bad person.

Suppose, I am an ordinary person, maybe I can hurt one or two people. However, if I were president, maybe I could hurt, and harm all the people of Indonesia, even, maybe I could destroy the world and all its contents.

But I am also confused. It's like that wkwk

"This is what the hell does it mean? Ko is not clear." after I try to explain and the results remain unclear, maybe in the heart some people will say that.

Yes, no need to use prolog, more clearly we just go straight into the story.

Tuesday, Tgl 14 months 11 years 995.

A red cloudy sky covered the southern continent that afternoon.

Not that I think people who read this story are less clever, but I will still explain, that the southern continent in this story is located in the southern hemisphere. However, it is still visible in the north, when viewed from the south pole.

In the northern southern continent, there is a country called Zibeert. A fertile, beautiful country, rich in natural resources and human resources. 

However, because of this wealth in the country there continues to be war.

In the northernmost land of Zibeert, there is a place called Triops. It is not far from the beach and has a pretty beautiful view.

Around the area there is an orphanage, a shelter for orphans who are mostly victims of war. The palace was under the control of the Third Division.

The Three Snails Foundation's name, sounds ridiculous doesn't it? However, it is where children without parents and without purpose can rest their lives. 

The building is made of wood, looks old enough, but still stands strong.

One of the residents of the orphanage, a white-haired man with comma hair style, had black eyes with a heartless look. Have a handsome, handsome, elegant, lonely and pathetic face.(by the way, not clear, wkwk).

That afternoon he was sitting on a chair by the dull window of his dorm room. With her cheek propped up by her right hand, she turned her pale white face out the window. The view of the red sky looks very beautiful from there. The sea breeze that blew slowly entered the room, making him more and more asleep in the daydream.

Enjoying such calm situations is one of his habits. 

After some time, the rumbling sound of footsteps near the gate averted his gaze. There, the soldiers of the First Division in old Green uniforms began to enter the area of the orphanage.

The man by the window then focused the dark circle in the middle of his eyeball towards the undercut red-haired man, the man was none other than his childhood friend, named Gotzen(20). 

Gotzen is the son of a former emperor, but due to the death of his father and the destruction of the empire, he must spend his childhood in an orphanage. However, after being quite independent he decided to join the Third Division military.

Gotzen stood up with a big smile on his face, he turned his gaze around the place. Gotzen already thinks of the parlour as a home where he should return to, and the people there are a second family to him. Gotzen was very happy, after a long time not coming home, he was finally able to visit the place.

"It's weird, why there's no one" he thought to himself.

He then turned his gaze to a building on the right. Gotzen slightly raised his chin, looking towards a second level dormitory, where he spent his childhood.

Behind a window, there is a stranger to Gotzen. 

"Izk," subconsciously quietly called out the name of his old friend, not forgetting that he was also waving and smiling. 

It made the three people standing right behind Gotzen look at each other.

"Captain, what are you doing?" suddenly a black-haired ivy league man with a tall skinny stature stepped closer to Gotzen. Bayu(22) is his name, he is a vice-captain, as well as one of Gotzen's confidants.

" I'm greeting my old friend." said Gotzen, smiling at Bayu.

"Where?" asked Bayu, while looking around the building in front of them "It's weird, I don't see anyone but us." he continued.

Gotzen then turned his eyes away from Bayu while pointing at his old friend.

"That's in,,?" he momentarily cut his words. 

"Well? Why isn't there? I actually saw him watching us from that window" she continued.

After a moment of silence and confusion.

"Captain, why is this place so deserted?" the only woman among Gotzen's subordinates began to approach while looking around them.

"I don't know either." replied Gotzen, turning his eyes toward the woman with the shoulder blade. "Usually this place was never deserted" he thought to himself.

"Ooohhhh's? Didn't the captain feel that something was strange?" ask the woman named Emi (17). "Or maybe they're going somewhere?" continued.

"It can be, but usually there's always people left to guard in this place" Gotzen replied. He slightly looked down blankly, seemingly thinking of something.

"Then, maybe that person is inside." Emi said, hoping. A little smile was seen on his face.

"Maybe." replied Gotzen, then raised and blinked his eyelids, as if he had already gotten an answer.

"Or they might hide to surprise you, Captain!" joked the masked man who slowly walked over from behind, then he held onto Bayu's shoulder. 

"After a long time of not giving news, finally they can see back his brother came home with a myriad of achievements and achievements." continued the man with shaggy hair.

"No-no. No one should have known we were going here." Gotzen slapped, closing both eyes and folding both hands. His face looks shy.

Gotzen then turned the bodies of the three men. 

"Let's just go inside." take Gotzen as he steps closer to a building in front of them. Bayu, Emi and Ayam (21) follow him from behind, while the others remain standing in their place.

Once Gotzen is at the door, he knocks with his right hand "Tok, tok, tok." 

"Excuse me, is there anyone?" ask Gotzen.

However, no answer was heard from within.

He repeated it many times, occasionally turning his gaze toward the people behind him, but still the same, there was no answer. This makes those who are near the door more curious and confused.

After a while Gotzen slowly pushed the door with both hands. 

"Hallo, is anyone inside?" then Gotzen walked into the main room, followed by the people behind him. 

However, so surprised, the situation was not as they had imagined. 

Emi immediately covered her mouth with her little fingers, inwardly she asked "What is really going on?".

The fishy smell of blood from the room pierced sharply into their noses.

Gotzen with a surprised face slowly began to walk among the several corpses, and the tables were scattered on the dried-up red floor. He never expected to get such a reception, opening his four eyelids wide, half in disbelief at what he saw.

Meanwhile, the soldiers were faintly looking from behind, slowly approaching due to their curiosity.

With this kind of situation, Bayu, Emi, and Chicken could only look at each other. By the time they came to their senses, Gotzen had already walked quite a distance away from them. The three then slowly followed behind, followed by several soldiers who were also equally eager to find out the true situation and circumstances in that place.

They kept walking checking into every room, opening every door and going down every corner of the building. Expect to find people who are still alive, in order to get clarity about what really happened. 

However, there were no clues they found other than the red floor with pools of blood and corpses strewn all over it.
