"Is it day or night right now?"

"It was 1 a.m. saturday, why?"

"I want to continue resting..."

"Sleepyhead."

"Can't argue with that."

I, fell asleep, really fast.

"Rinka?"

"It's only 3 minutes, and you asleep already?"

"He really is sleeping."

"Looking at him, his relaxed face kinda cute."

*poke* *poke*

"He really was tired huh?"

What the heck.

Astral Vision triggered the moment I fell unconcious, again.

And then, the vision changed.

It was yesterday battlefield area, I saw Kaku, ordering around, for people to collect the carcasses of the monster.

He was also ordering some people to circle around, for whatever reason.

"Is it ready?"

Ah, now I can hear sounds.

"Yes, it could reach for around 40km, theoritically."

"We have yet, to tested it."

"We don't have time, launch it now."

"Starting!"

[Greetings, everyone.]

[I'm Kaku, from Jakarta Region.]

[As everyone know, Our Electricity was getting cut by the monster.]

[We need to reclaim back that energy to make us back to our normal life.]

[and also, Safezone Region, is extremely important!]

[FIGHT! FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE!]

[FIGHT! FIGHT FOR YOURSELF!]

[WE MUST SURVIVE!]

[REPEAT AFTER ME.]

[WE MUST SURVIVE!]

A short, yet the needed message, to fuel everyone dreams and hopes.

During Astral Vision, for some reason, I could access the status screen. The quest for 'Survive' already marked as done, but the numbers staying there, as if mocking us the survivor.

[3,182,321,872 / 8,302,341,742]

3 Billions, huh. We yet to know what the heck happened to the other side of the earth.

This numbers, is depressing to know, that's why Kaku's encouragement is necessary, to make sure, at least the people actually trying to reclaim their land, to make another safezone region, to make living spaces even bigger.

The sounds, was flying through the air. Flowing to every bit it could reach.

It really does seems like a skill, as the people circling around, starting to lose their foot, standing on their knees.

"I'm sorry, the burden is too big for you all."

"We're done for now, you can go take a rest."

"You should take a rest too, sir."

"I-"

The vision got changed again.

Now, it was somewhere I can't recognize at the moment, as the battlefield, has changed the landscapes.

"Jakarta huh?"

A man, that I would think as the leader at first glance.

"They got it easy, don't you think?"

Her expression, kinda demoralizing, but it seems everyone there already get to know each other.

"But, aren't it said that the participant only was 5 peoples?"

at first glance, he seems like a scaredy-cat, and he also brought datas to his words so safe to assume, a nerd.

"Whatever, that monster is humanoid like us, we can take it down!"

Musclehead, extreme positivity, usually the first one to die, but the needed one to encourage other people.

What is this, is this the main character party?

"Are you all ready?"

"Sure."

"Don't let me down, scaredy-cat!"

"You shouldn't give your hope to me~~"

"Let's go."

Astral Vision seems like following them, for whatever reason.

They slowly navigate through the area.

Cars and Motorbike, abandoned by everyone.

House and Buildings, get destroyed.

It was only 1 day, but the impact was such a massive one in this.

Help support creative writers by finding and reading their stories on the original site.

"Hey, so all I need is to think how to trigger the skill, right?"

"Yes. I activated mine with ease, but you need to imagine it first."

Did they already got their skill? It seems the scaredy-cat is the one giving them the hope needed.

Nerd, no. Let's just change it.

The weak, will always using their wits to survive. While the strong, will use their guts to survive.

The weak, is the fastest one to adapt to such harsh condition, while the strong already strong enough to adapt to harsh condition.

What I'm trying to say is, that nerd adapt to status screen really fast.

They, stopped moving all of a sudden.

"Do we have plan, Dril?"

Is it the scaredy-cat name?

"Humanoid have way to many weakness, but the first one, will always be aim for the legs."

"And the next one their arms, isn't it?"

"Well...yeah. I suppose? But, remember, we don't know anything about it."

"Be careful everyone, I'll initiate it!"

From nothingness, the leader take out quite a long sword.

The heroin, using a bow.

The musclehead, taking out heavy weapon, that is resembling a hammer.

But, Dril, didn't bring out anything.

"CHARGE!"

The enemy, was a humanoid, with the head of a snake and using short swords in both arms.

A wind, gushing away from the backline, attacking the monster.

Coincidence? Magic?

"Nice one, Dril!"

Leader, cut one of the legs, from the now unstable monster.

The monster that was trying to making itself stable, not standing on their knees.

"RAAAAAAARGH!"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

From behind, musclehead using his blunt heavy weapon, attacking straight to the arms.

The monster lose one of the weapon by this move.

It behaving weirdly, as if will do something, a special move.

Dril, also noticed it.

"BOTH OF YOU, GET BACK! NOW!"

Both of them, listening to him, and taking a step back.

The monster then, started spitting something, that resembling a venom cloud to it's surrounding.

"What the heck."

"What do we do now?"

"I will try another wind magic."

Another gust of wind, was penetrating the venom cloud.

But, nothing was there.

"Where is it?"

"Be careful, stay on guard!"

3 of them, standing with their backs to each other, on defending position, like some film scene.

Wait, 3?

From above, the enemy was coming.

"ABOVE! DODGE!"

It was too late, the monster spitting another venom cloud and catches the three of them.

"WIND!"

The venomous cloud, got cleared in instant, and now they faced each other.

An arrow, barrage of arrow, was targeted to the monster body.

"Nice, Veronica!"

It can't dodge the arrows, as they lose an arm and a leg.

But, none of the attack hit the head.

"WHY I GET A BOW?"

"You did good, now hide again!"

The 2 frontliner get back in action to attack it.

A slash, and a slam.

The monster, the now crippled monster was ended by the 2 of them.

[Congratulations! Congratulations!]

[West Java Region Boss was Cleared!]

[Participant, 4]

[Rewards, Monsters on West Java Region get reduced stat, and West java now considered a safezone!]

[Congratulations! Congratulations!]

"Well, that was easy?"

"We simply get lucky and got a wind manipulation user."

"Yeah, the venom is real bad for my skin, it became itchy!"

"We better go wash ourselves."

With that, Astral Vision got cut, back to the focus of my sleeping body.
