Life is so vicious. Whenever a person wants to hoist his head up, it gulps his lifeform like an ogre, even though he didn't do anything wrong. Giving him no hope to rise again. 'Keep moving forward' that phase works on the people who have roads in front of them. Not like me who has nothing but darkness ahead.
I felt a deep agony in my left chest, waving with intense pain. It was so serious that I couldn't even able to pronounce a single word like a newborn baby. If I remember correctly then I never experienced such an impact in my chest in this worthless life of mine. The pain was so boorish that my face scowled. I held my torso with bare hands, making the shirt winked. The sunlight was reflecting on my forehead from the eastern sky. I Saw the muddy plastic bag from a Chinese restaurant was laid before my eyes. A bag of empty cans was also placed aside. It was indeed a filthy place. The diary that I held before this extreme pain confronted my heart, was also rested comfortably, slightly distant from the plastic bag. No, this is not someplace where anyone would come for enjoyment.
Being unable to stand and move, I crawled to move forward to get someone's help. My brain was constantly giving me signals to stop the pain at any cost. Though I didn't know how to deal with that. It was an unbearable sensation. My face became grimy as I crept onward. I moved my sights around to find someone to ask for help.
"Huh?" Not a single soul can be found there on the roads or even near the houses beside the ally. It was as if folks wanted me to die here. Is it my consequence? This is where I die, by the side of a dumpster? What did I do that made life this miserable? My life was only started. I thought relentlessly. My entire life flashed before my teary eyes. So, this is the end. Losing all my hopes.
As I was about to close my sights, I heard the voice of an old man. "Hey" I swiftly opened my eyes with hopes. Then, there was no one there, only me, and some garbage was laid out. As if someone would come to save me. I ridiculed. I hardly know anyone from here. Even my next-door neighbor is a stranger to me. Being an introverted person or should I say an unsociable person, I had a hard time making internal relations. Every time I try to interact with someone, I would just become exceedingly nervous and shattered. Maybe that's the reason I have to leave the world like this.
I didn't even bring my cell phone with me, what a life I laid! I was truly beginning to understand how precious life is. I wasted my seventy years of life playing video games, reading novels where the protagonist became stronger from the weak, gain confidence, and rule the world. As I believed that I may be one of them, my life will change like them. But in reality, all those things are nothing but fantasy. I was desperately finding a reason for my death. Because without blaming, a human can't do that. In the midst of pain, I was discovering the cause of my death.
"Are you scared of death?" A voice echoed in my head.
"Who-o Who's that?" I shouted in surprise. There was no one except me in here, hearing that voice gave me goosebumps. The pain I was suffering wasn't ended.
"Please, help me. Call an ambulance, I'm feeling exhausting pain in my chest."
But there was no answer. Maybe that was in my mind, I heard when people were about to die, they hallucinate. For once I got some hopes of surviving but that was dimmed by a second.
As I was in the blink of died, I was feeling sad toward my mother, father. I am not a good son, Mom. Tears were coming out of my mind in despair. 'I'm sorry mom. Forgave me if possible."
I closed my eyes hugging my death. But suddenly my pain was gone in an instant. It felt like nothing happened.
"I see, you are compatible with the system" The old man's voice rang again.
"Who's talking? System?" In my life, I only heard this word in video games and novels that can be found on the internet. Not only that but also heard that in many science fiction movies. But other than that, they were unknown to me.
"If you want to know about me why don't you look that on the diary." The voice in my head said to me to do that. I was also kind of curious to find out. So, I stood up from the ground and was going to pick the diary. As I spontaneous the diary, my life was reformed into…. Despair? or Bliss that was still yet to be known.
In this world nothing can be predicted, your life can get better or even rotten than the life you're leading today. It only depends on nothing. Yes, 'Nothing'.
I'm Jodan Libert, a college student who is a typical shut-in. My life changed when I picked up that diary that day. My common worthless life became distorted.
Every day I drive into my thoughts. Try to find a new reason to live. When I found a reason, I just dumped it and say "let's play MNVrop" a game in this generation. It's mainly an RPG game with a VR experience. I made like a thousand friends there. When a new event arrives, I played overnight to get the rewards.
"Ah!' (Sigh) What a great time that was. I totally miss those times.
Today is one of those nights.
"Come one man, Kill that one. Yahh, daadaaaa."
Then I again get bored and found nothing to do, started thinking about the future, what will I do? What will happen to me in the future. Then again, I throw that thing into the trash and would just play MNVrop 2! A sequel to the first game. After all, this is a new generation. Everyone is highly dependent on technology. Despite day or night everyone plays the VR games.
"On the right! Max! Shoot!" It's the crazy dude, Max who plays with me. As you can guess that he has some mental problems. Just who makes weird noise like that while playing. but he is a good guy.
After world war three, everything changed. The map of the world was greatly altered. People who are in the geometric subject had to work their asses off. Due to that war, many countries shattered. Leaders of the countries made a decision. A decision that altered the whole world. they divided the earth into four pieces. The world has become a different place to live in. CPA 1 for Northside countries, CPA 2 for Southside countries, CPA 3 for Eastside countries, and finally CPA 4 for Westside countries, where I live now.
"Behind you, Oh! Sh*t I died. That one was hard to kill."
Subsequently, during world war three, one thing that was seriously hampered was 'Nature'. We now have two summers and two winters. No Spring or any other season. In the first winter, everything was just like we have before the war. Not too cold. But when it comes to the second winter, people were found frozen if they went out. The chilliness is very unlikely to be survived by any living creatures. I remember the time when I opened my room window and saw birds dropping from the sky. It's like nature cursed us. Likewise, when it comes to the second summer, the heat of the sun can melt metal. A funny thing is we now get holidays for the whole second summer and winter seasons. Though it is not for low-income people.
I remember the news not long ago, people were found burned to crisp. Most of them are poor. They had to work because they need food to survive. The government did give them food and other daily necessaries but it wasn't enough to fulfill every one of them. They were the worst survivor of this curse. Not gonna lie but I also had a hard time dealing with this.
Living is really hard....
"Another round? Shall we?" Speaks on the microphone.
Each CPA developed its technology broadly. We got advanced communication, more security, robotics. We now have self-driving cars, buses, and robots. Also, the military developed greatly by this technological revolution. We are very dependent on technology. The economy of the world also rose fairly. CPA 1 became the number one of the economic growths. Basically, CPA 4 is the lowest of them all. It's also not that developed than the other four. For that reason, the cost of living, food is less. I as a youngster lived in CPA 1 because of the cheap cost. Though it is not that inexpensive.
"I'm not going to die on this round. Yeah, Let's smash them."

In this tragic world, one thing was wildly evolved. A creature, no, a monster, they look exactly like humans. More likely they are humans. Researchers have found that their mind is extremely twisted. No humans can understand them. After World war three, the crime rate sky rocked. The police had a hard time. The police department invented many inventions to help catch those monsters. Those evolved one has five times more strength than any normal human. In other words, they have considerable potential. Moreover, they starve for the pure taste of killing. They kill humans for their desires. I totally hate those monsters. How can they kill innocent people? No emotions can be found in them. An endless void.
"Run! Jodan! Run. You're dead man! That dude is chasing after you."
"I'm running with my full strength!"
The interesting yet scary fact is whoever saw them, never comes back alive. Many cases showed their existence. The government stopped the channels that demonstrated their presence. Now we got no information about them. Police officers and their cars can be found near a house, park, or dark alleys. It becomes a common thing in our day-to-day life. Common people are totally unaware of them. If only the government had given us some info about them we would be at least a little conscious. I found that info from several websites, forms, etc. The most important source is Peter, my friend. He's scared of them yet collects info about them and told me all about them. I recently get to know that they have red eyes, Claws like wild animals. Though it didn't come from any reliable source.
~woah~ "Scary". The more I think of it the more I get scared. Added that they have great manipulative strength. They can easily manipulate people without even noticing them. Is anyone being capable to eradicate them? Aren't they just really over-powerful? There has to be some way to kill them. Unless the common people like me are not safe. There isn't a single thing that is their weakness or we don't know that up till now. They brilliantly hide. They are the Monsters that disguise themselves as humans. They are the
'Psychopaths'
