After a good rest Kurokku headed straight for his practice. He thought by having a good training he could avenge his parents’ death and fend off the war of the races. He arrived just in time with his master and an odd group of people with him.
“Welcome to training” said his master. He was confused on why is there a group with him knowing that in his training as a swordsman, he was trained by an instructor and is all by himself. “Kid, our training will comprise of two basic ingredients: The first being training with me, the second by going outside and experiencing what we do.”
Now he knows on what they will be doing, he will band with this group and will be experiencing physical training. “We will be exploring Kingvale, your old city. We might find something of use there that we can utilize here in base,” the leader of the group said.
He was baffled on why they are going to Kingvale. He was sure by now that officials from bigger cities had come there and will get anything of use. There is very little possibility that they would get something there and his parents never said anything hidden within Kingvale.
They moved at night primarily because the other races will seize the opportunity to get what they can out of that place too, but by doing so will encounter much bigger horde of monsters. He was the last one to go, scared on what the bigger monsters can do to them.
When they arrived, they quickly saw on what has happened to city after all the fires burned out. The city hall was the only thing recognizable by that point while everything was burned to the ground. They quickly spread out, Kurokku sticking to the leader because he thought he has more experience.
The weapon that Kurokku got was a classic one, A bow, it was engraved with details and was painted a bright silver with a green glowing disk at the middle, the only thing that was bothering him was that it got no arrows to work with and how the bow works was out of his mindset.
The two encountered a group of wild creatures that are very similar to a bear. “Stay sharp, they are agile and packs a punch, do not get in spot where their claws will land because it can slice and dice you in no time.”
The first bear dashed for the leader which he quickly reacts to and evades. The second bear aimed for the leader too, Kurokku was amused on how the leader is juggling the bears. He was looking at the leader battle that he did not realize that the third bear was setting his sights on him.
The third bear dashed towards Kurokku that luckily only wounded him. While he tried to fend the third bear off, the two bears that the leader is facing suddenly head bashed him with so much force that it sent the leader flying off the distance.
On this time, Kurokku knew he was alone with three beasts right in front of him…

By raw instinct he ran headed for the city hall, hoping to find some form of shelter there. But the bears were fast, catching up to him was no challenge as one quickly stepped right in front of him. He grabbed the bow, trying to fire at it. He was successful blasting the bear upfront unconscious.
He then proceeded to run straight for the city hall sparing no time running, he saw the two bears confused on why their leader was knocked unconscious and became mad at Kurokku. They ran at him with all their might but before they got Kurokku... The ground cracked…
With a mighty roar the ground beneath the bears collapsed, taking Kurokku with them. The sound of the earth crashing was heard all over the city as a big “boom” and a cloud of dust ended it all.

Kurokku woke up minutes after disaster struck. He quickly saw the two bears under the rubble of the collapse land. He then proceeded to look around the place he fell. It was astounding, it was filled with animals and weapons he could not recognize.
It was confined inside a big area that closely resembles a laboratory complete with specimens from all over the planet. It was simply unbelievable…
The thing that caught his attention was a big gun pointing upwards to the sky. It was connected to some sort of device that would power it. It was lined with glowing lines that filled in the gun and was scribbled all over with writings that he cannot understand. Even the control panel of this big gun has a note on it.
He grabbed the note hoping that someone in the base could read it, and after looking around once more, another thing grabbed his sight. It was a cube, with a bright blue core, it stands out of all of the things inside the laboratory, and was inside a big chamber. On the outside of the chamber there was writing that says, “CW: The last hope.”
Another note was outside the chamber but this time it is readable, he was confused on what the two notes might be so he decided to read it:
“For the one who will find this note:
Welcome to the last hope of all Terrans, this is the a laboratory where almost everything before the fallout is kept. Weapons, Animals, Plants and even pathogns are all kept inside all of this. This has been a secret on all of Terrans so only a handful of persons know this place.
The thing you can see is a mix of science and the manipulation of the other side, it is a thing that we can grant to the one who can find this place either if they want to use it for good and for bad. Just remember that, all of us will be on your side.”
He then proceeded to go inside the chamber…
