The Beginning

Chapter 1: The Start.

A Needless and Pointless War.

A third world war happens when two Global hegemony starts fighting.

Was it because of an invasion? Air strike? Espionage? This info is no longer

available. Lost to the intricacies of time and no one really knows anymore however,

at some point because of blatant disregard for the united nations' demand for peace

and ceasefire other superpowers intervened. Thus slowly dragging the war on and for

decades causing widespread destruction and loss of life and infrastructure till the

world was only left as a fragment of what it had been previously.

It became an ugly mess.

Nuclear waste.

Barren lands.

Mass extinction of species.

Until sadly... the death of the human race.

In A blazing ultimatum of pride and do or die glory each country launched its nuclear

package.

Small or large.

This... was the end.

Yes, the world ended with - not a bang or poof even.

It simply ended with the pride of the many leaders refusing to listen to the prayers of

of their many people.

And it all ended in the incinerating flash of highly radioactive light which left

nothing in its destructive path.

This was truly the end.

However, this wangton destruction caused by pride, saddened one.

This being, hated the many flaws within the human race but also loved it for its

very touching kindness which always seemed to balance the darkness within.

The being in question, had a decision to make and contemplated it for many years.

Till finally...

Finally, a verdict was reached.

The now extinct humans...

Date: April 7, 20XX

Time: 14:47

Location: Unknown. Some Destroyed City.

The city was no longer can be called a city. Its building was shattered and broken down into pieces.

Dead bodies were rotting on the streets meaning this place wasn't directly hit by nuclear bombs but it was still under the impact of the explosion.

In this cruel and ruined place, a person was walking around the place wearing a black-colored radiation protection suit to find if there is some hidden place he can stay for a while.

The man walked inside a building that looked in the best condition compared to any other building in the city and went straight to the stairs of the basement.

A panting noise can be heard with each trembling step the person took showing how tired that person was right now.

"F-finally-"

A soft muffled voice came from inside the suit making it hard for anybody to say whether the person was male or female.

In front of the person was a small door leading to the underground basement. The person somehow managed to open it with left energy and get inside it.

Then the person quickly closed it so no radiation can enter and slowly walked inside the darkroom.

The person quickly flipped opened the switch and slowly lights start to open revealing just how large the room was.

The room had many boxes and with this room, many interconnected rooms were there connected through the iron circular doors which looked the same as the entrance gate.

The person slowly walked to one of the rooms which had a water sign on it and opened the gate.

After getting inside the room and seeing filled stored water there and a tap connected to a tank the person quickly starts to take off the suit.

After taking off the helmet it revealed the person was a man... but it was still hard to say since his face was covered with dried mud which he used as natural protection from radiation when he didn't have this suit.

He quickly takes off his suit and now was only in a small boxer revealing his skinny but yet pure muscles which shows how he has not eaten for maybe days but due to so much traveling his muscles did not yet crumble.

He walks to the small tub with the help of a wall and starts the tap filling it completely before getting inside it.

"Oh... so good."

Now his voice was clear. His voice was quite deep but the tiredness can be still felt in each word.

He splashes some water on his face and then cleans all the mud on his body feeling light and great again after bathing almost 4 months after last time.

After all the mud was washed away it reveals even though his face was scrawny it was surely a face of a handsome man.

His clear white fair skin made him look brilliant and his ruby-like red eyes just gave him a weird charisma of his own.

His long wet silky black hair shinned a little which he caresses softly with water.

After a few minutes of relaxing, he gets out of the tub and walked out of the room directly to one of the boxes there.

He opened the boxes and found some canned food there. He take one of the beans' canned food and opened it eating it immediately without any care.

He would prefer to eat the Canned fish right below this box but anything tastes good and feels enough when you are hungry enough.

This man has found himself in heaven in this ruined world.

After he had enough beans he just sat on the ground letting out a burp of satisfaction and smiled softly.

"After so long... I found another base-"

He stretched his arms "I can live a few more months or maybe a year with this many resources... well I guess I am the only man alive right now.... if there was someone else they would surely steal this."

Due to being alone for so long, he has now gained a habit of talking to himself. He is not really aware of it himself but maybe in the future, he will.

"Now what should I do..." He titled his head to the right while softly scratching his clean face which was quite weird... why has he not gained any beard yet?

"God damn it... I still have not gained any beard- Wait... how old am I now?"

He starts to count in his hand and then sighed "Forget it... I don't even know if it's day or night. Clouds don't let us know- so how am I supposed to know how many years have passed since I was 15?"

He laid on the ground and crawled himself into a ball hugging his knees with his eyes shut closed.

"Why am I even trying to live...? am I too scared of the pain of dying?"

"Maybe... I am?"

He mumbled to himself and turns to the other side and then back to the earlier side for a few times.

"I cannot sleep..."

He slowly gets up and decided to just explore this place and maybe get himself to wear something new and not just these boxers he has been wearing for years.

After around 3 hours of exploring he found himself some good clothes. He wore a black suit which made him look even better and hide his skinny build.

"Hehe..." He said looking at the mirror and admiring his looks before sighing again "I should cut my hair..."

*PING*

A sudden loud noise rang in his mind giving a sharp pain and forcing him to fall on the ground and grab his hand while groaning in pain.

"AHHH!"

He screamed in pain and moved around while he still had his hands on the head but after a couple of seconds, the pain faded.

After the pain faded he slowly get up as saliva fell from his mouth due to the pain he felt just moments ago.

"What was tha-"

Before he could finish suddenly a game like a screen with a blue background and white text color appeared in front of his eyes and whatever was written on the main screen was directly transmitted into his mind by a female robotic voice.
