Chapter 1: A bad dream!?

The sky was bloody red with a tinge of black. Looking at it made the group of people feel helpless and despair, as if telling them of their impending doom. The scent of blood was heavy, accompanied by the rotten smell of dead bodies sorrounding them.

They have been fighting unceasingly without any rest. A never ending sea of highly ranked mutants are attacking the group in every direction without pause. Each time another mutant was killed, it would be replaced by another mutant to keep on fighting the humans.

Tiredness overwhelmed them one by one and was immediately swallowed in the swarm of mutants sorrounding them.

Kier keeped on fighting. Rage filled his eyes as he continued to cause a blood bath. Soon he was the only one standing and fighting, all of his comrades died. He was the only human left.

Kier did not stop fighting. If he was going to die, then might as well bring this hateful creatures down with him. Yes, he will bring this mutants down with him at all cost. He took out a ball of dark light in his blue necklace . The ball of dark light gave a sinister feeling. The temperature switched from scorching heat, making one sweat profusely then suddenly the temperature would fall, making one feel as if their ***** in the winter.

It was one of the most powerful essence fire in existence.

The Fire of Destruction

He was supposed to refine this essence fire once he achieved a break through in his powers. It will go to waste once he die, so might as well use this to kill all the living beings within a thousand kilometre .

He keeped on fighting and released all of his power. A massive green fire erupted as the enemies close to him stumbled and died. He used this chance to forcefully extract his essence fire. He gritted his teeth as he felt an excruciating pain. The feeling of his soul being ripped apart almost made him unconscious but he endured it. As soon as he extracted the fire, he forcefuly merge the two flames.

Once the two powerful flames touched each other, it immediately ensued a huge burst of flames as the two fires collide. The flames consumed all that it touched as if it did not exist. It was utter destruction.

"Aaaaaahhhhhh!" Kier screamed as he suddenly sprung up from bed.

Wait... A bed?

He surveyed his sorroundings warily. He was astonished. This place was familiar. It was his dormitory in the University before the apocalypse descended.

What's happening?

"Aish! Why are you screaming!?" someone growled.

Kier saw Chen Young, one of his roommates, angrily staring at him. He was suddenly woken up from his dreamland by Kier. It was only between 4:00-5:00 AM in the morning and he hasn't slept to his satisfaction yet.

Despite the loud commotion Yan Xiao, one of the roommates, was snoring and still aleep. Completely oblivious of what's happening.

"A bad dream?" Drake Coralde suddenly said. He was still a bit sleepy. He rubbed his groggy eyes as he stared at the now confused Kier.

Kier choke when he saw his closest friends alive. They were like his brothers. It pained him when they died in the apocalypse.

Kier did not know what was happening. Was it all just a bad dream just like what Drake said? The apocalypse, mutant beasts, otherworldly races, everything. Was everything just a dream?

But it was so realistic that he still clearly remember the feeling and the oppressive atmosphere of the apocalypse. All the things that happened was still fresh in his mind. He looked down and suddenly saw a faint light flickered in his neck. It was a necklace. A blue stone of unknown origin with a pair of wings beside it and a crown on its top with a intricate carved dragon in the middle of the stone.

Shock could be clearly seen in his eyes. The necklace was something that he acquired from an ancient ruins in the apocalypse. Why was it here? It suddenly dawned on him.

"No, it's nothing"

He heard a 'tsk' from Chen Young who immediately went to sleep. Drake keeped asking what was wrong and he suppressed himself from hugging his roommates. All his closest friends was alive infront of him. They were like brothers. He can't help but to smile and assured his friend that he was okay before Kier lied in bed.

He went back in time, he was sure of it. It was the only explanation that he could think of.

The heavens did not forget about him. They have given him another chance. Now that he was given this chance, he will do everything to protect those that he failed to protect and will surely take revenge to his enemies.

He grabbed his phone and looked at the date at the right side corner of the phone.

August 6, 2019 (Wednesday)

4:21 A. M

The apocalypse should happen at friday noon 3:30 P. M. Kier still has 2 days to prepare for the upcoming upheaval. He got up, changed his clothes and grabbed his wallet and car keys and silently left as to not wake up his sleeping friends. There was no time to loss. He only has a limited short time to prepare the necessary stuffs.

He needs to quickly buy the needed equipments and stuffs to prepare for the upcoming apocalypse, but his money was not that much. There was only a total of 5000 Dollars in his wallet and his bank accounts was frozen because of his father's order. Hesitation could be seen in his eyes as he pondered if he should ask his father for money.

Kier is the illigimate son of the most richest person in their city, Mr. Nolan Durante. During the apocalypse, his father abandoned him and escaped with his family but was soon killed as soon as they left M city.

Serves him right.

"Screw it" The apocalypse was coming and he needed the money. Even if he doesn't like his father, he doesn't have any other option right now. Plus, all the money that his father have would be completely useless soon and it would be a shame if he didn't use it. Money would be completely useless in the apocalypse. No one has time for it. It will only become a pile of paper that holds no value.

Wealth is nothing in the apocalypse. Only the strong can dictate and be respected.

He quickly opened his car door and went in. He didn't know where his father was but he has an inkling to where his father might be. The reason why Kier didn't know the exact location of his father was because they rarely see each other. Who wanted to be close to a father like that anyways. Only considering his image and not even caring about his son.

The car stopped at the front of a luxurious manor. It was a three story modern mansion. Kier walked slowly as he approached the mansion. The guard squinted his eyes, eyeing the person who was slowly walking towards the gate.

"Who are you?" the guard asked, not recognizing the person infront of him

[He must be a new guard] thought Kier as he stared expressionlessly at the guard.

"Move" Kier ordered, glaring at the guard. He doesn't have the time to explain and talk with the guard since that will only delay him much further and he urgently need to speak with his father.

Kier didn't stop at his tracks and when the guard saw this, he frowned and was ready to tackle the person infront of him if the person didn't stop. He was given the task to not let anyone enter the premise, unless it was a friend or a family member. He didn't know this person since the family didn't have a picture of this person. Only the people in the pictures provided by the family can go inside the house.

Kier moved to the right when the guard charged at him. The guard missed its target and when he faced his back, he was immediately met with a fist. The fist collided with his face and he stumbled back. He felt a warm liquid dripping down his face. Before he could check what it was, he was bombarded by fists, the fist moved as if it was rain, pouring down heavily on the body of the guard.

When Kier saw that the guard was propably knocked out by now, he withdrawn his fists and shaked of the blood in his hands. Another guard went out of the gate and was shocked at the sight that he was seeing.

Who would dare cause a ruckus at the house of the Durante's!?

The guard was angered and agitated but when he saw who it was, he calmed himself down and greeted the young man. Although he tried to calm himself down, he was still shocked. Was this child this violent before? He served as a guard for Nolan Durante for almost a decade now and although Kier was cold and indifferent, especially when he's in the house, the kid was not this brutal.

Kier didn't care about the strange gaze that the head guard was throwing at him amd just walked past the guard as he entered the gates.
