Chapter 40 New beginning (Purge)
I woke up from my sleep haphazardly; I don't know when I got knocked out last day, but I sure had the vivid memory of me trying to warn everyone about the impeding danger.
__________
Ben's whole body got attached with strange devices and wires.
The first thing he did was to look for his glasses.
But he couldn't find it anywhere, so he looked for it, that's when he realized he could see properly without his glasses.
He didn't know what happened, he shouted, Mom, Dad, are you there?.
No one answered, so he pulled everything off him.
That's when he noticed his hands had gotten bigger and were very pale.
He found that his leg reached the corners of the bed.
He used his hands to feel his face and felt it was full of hair.
Likewise, he saw a hand mirror on the desk aside the bed; he took it and saw a handsome man with a perfect body and a symmetrical face.
____________
Did something happen when I was asleep?
What?..... How did I grow up this big?, and how did I end up like this?
I kinda like my body now and also this profound eyesight. I can see everything crystal clear.
Wait!, I think the system will know something about this.
[System, System .....]
No reply. Strange, it was like this that day and strange messages flew up when I was in the dance.
I wonder what happened to my family and friends, hope they are ok.

What's all these stuffs.
Five years I was in a coma, what the.....
I heard a sobbing sound, and I turned around
[Ben…. Is that you?]
It was my mom. She had turned old, and she was wiping her eyes with a handkerchief.
I felt relieved after seeing her. She hugged me and cried for 10 mins.
I soon met up with all my family members and also saw my beast, Oreo.
Everyone got emotional when they saw me.
I learned my beast had talked.
<
For some strange reason, I didn't feel any emotion seeing all the surrounding drama. I strangely felt composed.
They told me how the world had changed over the past 5 years.
It was my beast, Oreo, who talked and explained everything to me.
It was strange hearing the shocking news from my pet, but nothing shocked me anymore.
The world had come into an attack by an unknown energy missile from space, and it had eradicated all the normal humans.
My family survived because my pet Oreo absorbed all the energy from the energy missile targeting my house.
And it went into a state of hibernation for a year and came out of it with this amazing talking abilities and a crazy growth spurt, just like me.
Oreo looked cool and exceptional as ever. His skin looked hard, and his teeth grew out like fangs.
They also explained when I was in coma, I had to be placed in severe medication, but my body was growing abnormally and getting stronger every day. They didn't know how it got like that, and they had to medicate me at home, as they couldn't afford the money asked by the hospital. I felt sad that I wasn't able to help them.

My sadness flew away, and I got composed.

What is up with these crazy stats?
Strongest human alive, me, you got to be kidding me. I am just a puny guy with a strange growth spurt, not the strongest human alive.
--------------------------------
Well, the first thing is that the number system got abolished and thanks to that, we are not family number zero anymore, but now the human community has again divided itself into elites and commoners. The elites were highly capable and powerful people with very influential backgrounds.
The commoners were more than half of the cyborgs and other normal people who survived, people with less capability or less potential than the elites.
The government had provided the elites with very comfortable housing and excellent facilities.
The government has also made a rule that every human had to be cyborgized.
The world government changed the name of every country and made them named in random numbers. I am now living in the country twenty-three, and it is not India. The world government did this to make the people of different countries united, so that they would have a common ground as cyborgs when they fight against the aliens.
Every one above the age of eighteen had to undergo strict military training up to when they make it to twenty-five years of age. After that, they had to serve in government to enhance the power of the military power till the end of the life.
This draft cycle was to conduct every five years. The last time they took the draft, it was when I had gotten into the coma.
My parents said that they would also soon draft me into the military.
After all, my friends already got drafted in and got placed at different training centers all around the world. Once they had gotten into the military, outside contact gets strictly forbidden.
Unless your family is an elite or becomes an elite through you, that means no commoner has the chance of contacting one's family unless he/she changes into an elite with his/her outstanding abilities inside the campus.
I wish I could have spent more time with my friends and my family.
Commoners could not talk with elites, either. Yesterday, all of my friends tried to get in contact with my family to say the news that they got drafted into the military and couldn't talk to them for some time.
Everyone get drafted into random training institutes, and the government kept their location as a secret.
I have to inform that I was ready for drafting. Even if I try to escape, the government has its ways to get me hooked into the military and no one can escape it.
