Start of the war [1]

It was approximately 2 A.M. in Ashton city. 

Darkness had already engulfed the entire city, with the city lights being the only source of light amidst the dark world. 

In a certain high rise building. 

Ding—! 

The elevator doors quietly opened revealing two crimson red eyes that shone in the darkness. 

"What a mess..." 

Kevin raised his hand to clean his blood-stained face as his hushed, chilly voice echoed around the room.

A dozen or so corpses were exposed behind him as he exited the elevator.

He was greeted by a silent, dim hallway with a sizable wooden door at the opposite end. Additionally, there was a marble reception desk just next to the door, but it was empty right now.

While he walked, the cameras that were pointed in different areas around the hall exploded before they could get within his range. 

Tap. Tap. Tap.

The sound of his rhythmic footsteps echoed inside the hallway.
