War, War never changes; January 2218 marked the end of our Human civilization after everything had gone to Hell, with the world waging War against each other with atomic bombs that destroyed more than 60% of human society. And the world had gone to shit with it, no one spared of the mass destruction, and it was a new Beginning of absolute horror to every living being still alive when Earth decided to retaliate in a way to preserve itself and life on it. So here I'm, cursing my bad luck to be part of all this. My name is Genesis. I'm writing my Diary to whoever finds it later; I hope your luck is better than mine.
(he didn't know what fate was hiding for him)
Closed Diary...
Deep breath
"Sigh"
'I feel exhausted and drained; however, I can't give up now my family is alive somewhere and waiting for me. I'm sure they are worried sick. Hopefully, they are okay; Genesis was in turmoil; It's understandable for someone stuck in an underground Bunker for six days in raw.'
Unsure what had happened to his family.
Gen had a flashback of what had happened until it reached this point.
6 Days Earlier
a good-looking boy in his teenage years was sitting on the couch watching tv. He had a heart-shaped face with a narrow Jawline and wide cheekbones followed by a pointy V chin line; his eyes were big and round with silver gray color that shined brightly with vigor and life with his Silvery hair and flawless face, Genesis looked very attractive and appealing to look at.
Gen also gave a charismatic, smart person vibe, with well-toned muscles and nice lean physique with his charming face. It was a killer combo to any girl who saw him, but he never cared about it.
Gen thought romance and relationships were a waste of time at this age, so he decided not to get involved in any of it for now.
Gen was proud 180 cm at just the age of 16. His body and mind still had good room to grow.
After finishing his homework, Gen was killing time by changing channels with board face waiting for his family to come back from a work trip in the city when a breaking news broadcast started on all channels.
Warning Warning this is not a test. A reporter in a black suit with a pale white face and wavy black hair, and blue eyes showed up on the screen and said: We got reports from our field agents they heard a sound of explosions not long ago, followed by blinding flashes. A few minutes ago, we lost contact with all of them, and his voice cracked at this point. His expression was sad and pained. We also lost contact with all other Affiliated stations. And now We have received another confirmed report. I repeat another confirmed report of A nuclear detonation in Various locations across the globe. The reporter break at this point with A stream of tears falling from his eyes; he started panting heavily and choking on his own words.
The reporter: Oh GOD. Please save our petty souls in this Dark moment of our life.
Beeeeeeeeeeeb.
All the channels blacked out at this moment, and the signal broke.
Genesis was watching Tv, dumbfounded with wide eyes. He didn't wrap his head around what just happened. however, in the middle of his thoughts.
RUMBLE RUMBLE...
Earth started Shaking hard.
'What the hell is going on?!! A panicked expression was visible on his face. Gen didn't overthink it before he made a run for the Underground Bunker and sealed the door shut.
Before catching his breath
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
At this moment, his heart leaped from his throat before it stopped beating for a second while living in this pure horror moment middle of a nuclear explosion; the Bunker was shaking violently.
Gen thought he was a goner. But luckily for him, everything quieted down after a few seconds. 'tuduum tuduum Weeew, I'm alive.'
I could hear my heart racing; it almost popped out of its place. Damn it, what the hell is going on? Did all the leaders go crazy? This was a hell of a rollercoaster can't imagen I have survived this shit weew my legs can't take I need a minute.
A few minutes later, after calming down;
Gen felt miserable and glad at the same time that he lived through this hell; his hands shook crazily, and his breathing was ragged, unsure of what had just happened.
After a few minutes of sitting on the ground, panting heavily with a confused and annoyed expression.
"Sigh"
I hope mom and dad are okay. I can't imagen anyone surviving this terror and horror outside.
Damn it!! My heart is bleeding the more I think about it. It hurt, it really hurt
"heavy breathing" I feel weak, so fucken weak that my heart filled with rage and fury, if I could be stronger, none of this would happen.
Gen snapped at this moment and was destroying anything in his way.
A few minutes later
"Huf" "Huf"
Gen, knew there is nothing he could do to stop this tragedy from happening, so he stopped blaming himself.
Please be safe out there, and I will make sure to find you.
I have to calm down and clear my mind so I can think about what to do next.
It's so quiet out there "budum" "budum" the only thing I can hear is my heartbeat.
Gen felt very conflicted in this situation because he couldn't make heads or tails of what was going on;
After sitting still for a few minutes
'Weeeeeew, I have calmed a bit, so what to do now? Let's start by checking what's going on outside. I hope it's not a nuke or shockwave of one. I don't have anything that can protect me in here
Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon.
*step* *step* to the bunker doors.
Gen gripped the door handle, trying to open it up but to no avail.
His face was grim and serious.
'Come on, Come on, I can't get stuck here, but no matter how hard I try, it doesn't budge.
God damn it, great that all I needed stuck titanium doors.
Gen looked around and saw the Bunker interior was entirely covered in Titanium, With no windows or doors except the main entrance door.
"sigh"
since I'm stuck here for god knows how long, I should check every carny and corner of it. Hopefully, I could find a few things that might be helpful.
{In the next 5 minutes, Gen searched the place and Luckily found a kitchen fully equipped with some Dried food and 5 two-liter water bottles few bedrooms, and a bathroom}
At least I will not run out of food or water for a few days. I will use them wisely. I'm not sure how long I will be stuck here; hopefully, someone will hear that explosion and come to check it and hopefully help me out.
But alas, it was his wishful thinking after six days of nothing but darkness and cold bunker walls trapped with no way out.
Gen didn't sit still for those 6 days; he tried every single method available to open the doors.
But the doors were made to hold The worst-case scenarios; however, Genesis refused to give up. He had an unbreakable will and couldn't give up this easily, resigning himself to the fate awaiting him, so he was hell-bent on getting out of there and finding his family no matter what.
24 Days later...
"sigh"
'I guess this is the end of the road for me; what a bummer, It's so sad, I wish I could have seen mom before dying like this "sop" "sop"
Please be safe out there, mom I hope we meet up soon in a better place.
Genesis was lying on the bed with a pale white face murmuring to himself with cracked voice, tears streaming from his eyes. His gray eyes had lost their shine and turned red from crying, and looked mummified. His hair was dishelved and turned from pure silver to silvery-whiteish with many White strands.
His situation was so Dire that Gen looked a step away from the grave. At this dark, cold moment, Gen felt hopeless, empty, Sad, and hollow. The only thing on his mind was to save his energy as much as possible, Praying for a miracle to happen. He ran out of food and water days ago, and now it was a test of his will.
Genesis lost count of what day it was or if it was morning or night outside. He couldn't hear or see anything. Only darkness was by his side at this point. Gen was ready to embrace it, but the strings of fate acknowledged his unbreakable will when suddenly he heard another earthquake.
RUMBLE, RUMBLE RUMBLE...
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
with an explosion at least two times stronger than the first one.
The Bunker shook Crazily from the explosion; everything turned upside down the shaking was twice stronger as the first.
"gasp"
'I don't care; this is my only chance. I will run to the doors. It was now or never. Damnation, I never knew it would be this painful to move after a few days in bed without moving at all for days. I feel sore all over my body; it doesn't respond to me. Come on, come on, move your damn leg move.
Meanwhile, Gen started moving slowly to the door and tried to open it.
"Skwweek"
Gen felt the urge to cry tears of joy when he heard his freedom doors open.
Finally, I'm out of this shit hole. I couldn't believe it.
I will never stay behind closed doors ever again. In my life, I don't want to have this experience again or ever. Anyway, I gotta be careful. I'm not stupid enough to rush outside when an explosion just happened a second ago.
'peeking outside with a grim face, Why is the sky so dark? Is it night time?
It was pitch-black darkness and difficult to see. Gen looked above at the sky, and it was the same pitch black with faint red light; his eyes started to adjust, and finally, he was able to see a few things around him,
First Gen noticed the moon in the Night sky, which was blood red. He got shocked, and his eyes widened to the limit
"gasp" 'what the hell is this? His soul left his body for a moment, and his heart skipped a beat,
Gen knew nothing good could come from this.
The moon was bloody red, and it didn't reflect much light, Gen didn't know how to think or react because it felt like the doom's day he had always heard about. His head was spinning because he couldn't understand how this happened or why so he left this phenomenon for now and looked around while he was shocked; after a few seconds, confused looks appeared on his face because he didn't understand what he saw his house was in a rural area away from the city. It was a small closed-up community for well-off people with a few houses scattered around; at least, that's how it looked before everything went kaboom. However, His home and the district he lived in were nowhere near to be found. It got erased from existence like it never actually existed.
What truly boggled him through the surrounding area got replaced with a Huge forest. With a dumbfounded expression and a livid face, Gen had the urge to cry again; however, this time, because his joyous moment was short-lived and went up in the smoke of the explosion.
Gen observed with his eyes the surrounding. It was a vast thick forest with long thick trees and the land was short green grass with dead branches scattered all over the place. Gen walked to a tree and touched it.
"touch"
'what is that? This tree looks like it has been there for a few centuries. With a confused look, How is that possible? how is that make sense? It looks like an elder tree with very thick branches and dark green leaves.
Nothing made sense at this point.
First, how magically did the forest poped-up in the middle out of nowhere?
Second, there was an explosion not long ago; how these trees withstand this kind of force?
The more he thinks about it, the more questions pop into his head with no answers.
Uuuhhhh, my head hurts. I can't wrap my head around what is happening. My head feels like exploding.
"sigh"
'I will stop thinking about it for now and focus on my current predicament.
'Anyway, What should I do now? I don't have much choice here anyway I can't stay in Bunker and rot to death, so I have to take my chances at this damned forest. I know it will be dangerous, But I need to get answers to my questions first. I can't move in a danger zone without any weapon
"growl" 'Euukk, my stomach, I need to search for anything drinkable, edible, and a way out of this damned forest.
Gen recovered from his inner shock rather quickly because his condition was still bad, so he didn't have much time left. Gen wanted to secure food and water first because he couldn't think about anything else; he was so hungry and thirsty,
I will move carefully. Oh, let me get into the bunker and bring a knife. Hopefully, it will serve as a good weapon for now.
Gen ran to the bunker and got inside; a few seconds later, he got out with a knife in his hand and made sure to cover the bunker door with branches just in case he decided to come back for it later.
Alright, good to go *breath in* * weeew I should be careful moving inside this forest is super dangerous since I don't know what I'm dealing with,
"rustle"
'Huh, what is that, What is this sound?
Gen suddenly stopped moving when he heard something moving near him, and he held his breathing with his hand, so he didn't make a sound while observing what was Approaching his location.
Gen moved very slowly and took cover behind a tree, and waited to see what he was dealing with.
Gen didn't stay too long because he saw it, and oh boy, his eyes were about to fall from their sockets.
Feeling his eyes playing tricks on him, Gen decided to rub them hard, but what he saw was still the same, so he questioned his sanity for a moment; he thought staying alone for a long time affected his mind and was imagining things because it doesn't make any sense what his eyes were watching gen waited for a moment and checkee the details of the creature forny of him.
It was a short, green-skinned, long-nosed small limb with a human frame; looks the creature was holding a stick on his shoulder with two dead rabbits stabbed by it from side to side.
'Is this what I think it is ???
Gen's head was in chaos, He had millions of thoughts, but none of it made sense at this very moment.
'A Freaking Living GOBLIN
God, was I living under a rock or something? What is the meaning of this? It took him a few moments before he regained his composure; I have to focus; it didn't matter if it was a green goblin or mountain tiger, it shall die by my hands today.
Gen's urge to eat and drink was too strong, So he narrowed his eyes dangerously on the stick holding the two dead rabbits; He was too hungry and thirsty to think about anything else at the moment; it was a gift, so he didn't think much of it and wanted to move fast.
After watching the goblin for a while.
Gen figured out its motive.
'Hmm, I see, so it came thinking he heard another rabbit and was searching for it.
Gen Decided to use his head at this moment; he picked a small stone from the ground and waited for the right moment when the goblin got near Gen's location. Gen tossed the rock near his location. It didn't fail to lure the goblin because he started to move in its direction, and in a split second, Gen made his move from the side of the goblin. With fast movement, Gen moved and swung his arm at the goblin's neck; it didn't fail to hit the target, and the sharp knife ran through the goblin's neck from one side to the other like butter. It penetrated from one side to the other and cut his throat. The goblin didn't even know what hit him.
"SPIRT"
Green Blood Oozed out of the goblin's neck like a waterfall, and it dropped dead.
