Chương 2: Strong Determination

"Bro, bro!"

I heard someone call my name when I fall asleep.

"Bro!"

He slap my back. Make me rapidly wake up and scream.

"Aaaww! What the egg you're doing!?"

"You just literally passed out on Miss. Abela course! What the egg you are thinking!?"

I quite calmed down when he says I just sleep on a killer lecturer course.

I drop off my head into table chair when my head finally full of stressness. On that pose, I asked my best friend on thing that maybe will fill up my head with another stress.

"Is she said something about, me?"

"Well, she literally not paying attention to you. But believe it or not, if you repeat this mistake one more time, you will surely death on this course"

"Damn"

I forgot this is not the first time I'm doing this. My twenty years head start spinning on it own.

"Oi-oi, don't be so desperate like that. Doesn't your new work place make you gain more goods?"

"Yeah, but that's not the problem here"

"Weeell, I know that right. If I were be you, I will surely be like you or even worse right now"

"Damn right"

I still manage to put my head on the table. Hope that the stress go paste on the table and sway away on my head.

"Hey"

"What is it, buddy?"

"Can you let me go and release me from this hell?"

I asked a question that made made him – my best buddy since our childhood glaring at me. Sees me like I'm his slave.

"What the freak you mean, you know you can do it. You know you can finish your study if you get serious about it, right. You're now just – "

"-Tired. And what you need is rest a while to sway away your deppression"

Just when he trying to finish his words, a girl voice replace his and talk about the rest of what he thinks about me.

"You hear this angelic existence, ghast dang it"

He pointing at a really beautiful girl that just come and enter the conversation.

I'm looking at her and she smiled at the desperate me.

"Hey, what about I treat you an ice cream"

The girl names is Angela. A rich and beautiful girl that I saved back then from a rapist, and after that time, she almost always stick around me at college. And a friend of mine beside is Lucky. Just like his name, he's lucky to have a good family, life, and childhood friend like me.

When those two compared to me, I'm quite lucky to have them on by my side. But when they're not around, my luck falls into a ravine. That's because at this time, I need to pay my dummy dad's debt and that's not cheap.

My family were poor and I'm really lucky if I can still be here, on the college, gaining every knowledge I can get. But I just can't always be like this. Stressed out because I have many problem to solve. And now, the problem is increase by one.

I really lucky to have those two on my life, if I'm not, maybe I will drop out from school and just focus on my work.

"How is it, do you not want to have a treat by this beauty girl?"

"Calling yourself beauty, you are really confident about yourself, huh"

When Angela kneel down and put her face on table to see me better, I lift up my head, slam my forehead a few time, then get up from chair.

"Are that slamming really needed?"

She get up too then ask my action before. But the one that answer is not me.

"Well you know, he always do that kind of thing to sway away his stress. Just get used to it"

"What, really?"

Those two talking about me on the back when we are walking through the corridor.

"So, where we headed?"

I asked and Angela run and stop beside me. Talking with quite enjoyment.

"How about on skybucks?"

"You said ice cream, not coffee"

"Hehe, just, come on, okay, if you feeling tired, doesn't coffee is the best relaxing drink to sway away your tireness"

She talked with so much energy and enjoyment that I can't understand. Why the heck this girl want to stick around with a no-spirit-guy like me.

"Oh boy, why you just can accept her offer. Moreover that is a treat to a quite-nice-place to spend time"

"To spending on wathcing a beautiful waiters, you mean?"

"Ha ha ha, don't be like that buddy. Even though I've been struggling to accompany you on a date with a beautiful girl next door, hm, where is she?"

Lucky looking for Angela that was behind us. Stopped by her friend for a moment and then running away to us again.

"You know she stopped by her friends and you didn't want to wait for her? What the egg you thinking, bruh"

"First thing first, a guy like me doesn't fit her, and what you think if a no-interesting-guy like me waiting for her when she talking with her friend"

"What the egg, dude!"

"What is it? What is it? Did I missed something?"

Angela arrived at us and curious about what we have been talking about. Her eyes remain full of blinking when she talk with us. I don't know why she feels like that, but the thing is, I don't want to involve a lucky girl like her on my problem.

"Naahh, we are just talking about how lucky he is to have us"

"Ooohh, is that right, is that right?"

Luckily, Lucky assist the atmosphere to not let her know about what we are talking about.

Angela teasing me with positioning herself in front of me. Stopped me and won't get away until I say what she wanna hear.

"Okay-okay, I get it. Thanks because you guys want to play around with me. I'm really lucky to have you guys"

Even though I admit that without I said it, I said it in front of them now and that made them want to teased me more.

"Ohoho, finally being honest, huh. Okay, so now let's go to Skybucks with high spirits"

"Yey, let's go!"

"I won't do that, I swear"

That time was almost night. We get into Skybucks on 6pm and have a nice drinking for like an hour before we get home. We separated on our way back home. Leaving me alone. Finally.

On my way back home, I walk into a casually building gap street that I walk every time I want to get into work place.

I walk then stop when I found a really quite place that nobody won't see what I wanna do. I'm standing on a building door. My hands take a button thing on my pocket.

"I'm here, please open the dimensional door"

I push the button and start to talk. Nothing happen in a few moment. But then a rainbow light start shning on the door's gap. Which means the dimensional door is now open.

I hold the door handle and open it. The view when I opened the door is not a view of what inside the building.

The view of what I see is a place full of black steel. A wall of a military base exactly.

What is the work you ask? Well for now what I can say is the job is not fit for a weak men. Me, nahh, I'm not weak. I just a man full of stressness. A man that's not interested on anything except a problem that I have to resolved if I want a peacefull life.

Swaying my weakness side away. Sharpen my eyes and straighten my chest. I began to walk. To work on another dimension.

Chương 3: Heart of Steel

It was a few days ago I found this another dimensional workplace.

When I was really desperate about my family condition. My dummy father gone nowhere leaving me and my mother a really freaking much debt that we must paid.

With that I must search for work and attend class at the same time. The thing is going smoothly. I could manage those two obligation with no worries.

But when hope start to bless us a group of freaking idiot steal every money that we own. That group is the debt's collector subordinates. They reveice his demand and force us to pay the debt with every money we own.

From there depression start to control me. Fortunately, there was my angelic mother who cheer up my feeling. There was two of my best friend who will take me to any refreshing place.

I was so glad. Although, I can't let the condition always go like this.

Where I'm looking for new hope. A man in black suit offer me a really convincing job but quite dangerous. He even give me really much money for guarantee.

"The job is simple. You just have to kill every monster army in the wave and everything is done. You have your paid and life if you not go any furhter from there"

At first his words heard can't be trusted. But then he show up a magic when we at front of a door. Rainbow light appear from the gap of the door. Just after he opened the door, a view of different filling up my sight.

From there, a flat-expression woman appear before me. Telling me if I want to become one of the defense force.

After that time, here I am. Come back every night to work at another dimension.

In presence, I still just stand in front of the boundary between space and time. Just before I want start to walk, someone appear before me.

"Why are you just standing in that place, dude?"

He is one of my closest comrade in my team. His name is Six, and yeah, that is just a nickname he use on that place.

I start to walk in and answer his question.

"I'm just thinking about something"

"Something, eh. Is that a woman?"

After I walk pass the door. The boundari of space and time closed. Then we began to walk to the preparation room. Pass through a corridor made of black steel.

I take a peek at Six and sees him with a casual clothes and a bagpack. When you look at his face and you intelectual enough, you will realise if he have what we called a europian youth face. He even talk with british accent and you must know where he is come from.

His blue sphere eyes stare at me with quite much excited.

"Yeah-yeah, it's my mother. You satisfied"

"Meh, it's always your mother. I know you have family matter. But, don't you even interested searching for a girlfriend who will hug you when you tired, spoil you when you feel depressed"

He start hugging himself and move like a creep when he said that. When we always be in this kind of conversation. I'll just stare to front and answer.

"I don't want to add another burden when I'm still very troubled now"

And he will always look at me with pity on his face then answer.

"I know you have your own problem, dude. But you have to get self-refreshing to avoid your depression become severe"

"I have my heart, motive, friends, and the most important is my mother. Just that I can make my feet always stand up in every situation"

"Always in high confident, eh"

We walk far enough and not far ahead we catch a view of a man standing in front of a room.

A black skinned old timer. Looks dashing in a black and white armor suit. In his right hand, he holding his armor helmet.

"Why always you two who being late!"

He talk with a military voice tone to a college teenager like us. We stopped and stand before him. Then give sakute like a soldier to their commander.

"I'm sorry, sir! I have something to do and it quite spent a lot of time!"

Six report first just like a teenage. Even though he tried his best to do that. The commander won't allowed a simple reason like that to be heard to his ear.

"Don't you dare to tell me id you freak your girlfriend before you go ro this place!"

"Wha - !"

Many voice laughing at him come from the preparation room. He panicked a little when he heard the commander suspect him.

"NO, it's not that!"

The commander suspect sounds right tho.

"Just shut your mouth and begin preparing you spoiled guy!"

"Wha! Please stop teasing me like that!"

Although the situation you can say dark somehow, the commander take a little time to teasing one of his squad.

Six began to walk in after being teasing. After that the commander attention change to me.

"What's your excuse, Gan?"

He talk to me with a quite serious looking face and tone .

"I'm sorry for being late, sir"

"Didn't have a reason and just being a slacker, huh. Start your preparation"

"Yes, sir"

I give a salute before walk in.

The room is just the same like a military preparation room. Some difference may be the room is made by a steel. The locker for soldier in the room is only ten. The locker shaped is capsule hexagon.

Everyone in the room seems busy with their preparation. Some even have finished their preparation.

I walk to a locker beside Six. The locker opened it self and there is a view of an armor suit just like the others. The only difference is it sized.

When I began my preparation, Six stare me like I'm a criminal who are treated better by the guard.

"Why he always treat you better, dude?"

"Maybe because I always go to the point and not giving useless reasons"

I start to take off my bag, shirt and pants while having a conversation.

"Waduhek, dude. I even not giving a useless reasons and still treated like a spoiled guy by him, by the way"

"Giving a reason is just useless to him, I think"

"Is that your judgment on him?"

I almost done in my preparation while Six take his time to babbling about his not fair commander.

"What the freak you babbling in there! Come hurry up we don't have much time until the army made to the borderwall!"

The commander realize we spend a useless time while our comrade is finishing their preparation.

"Y-yes, sir!"

Six speed up his changing. Me too do the same. Now I'm only wearing a short pants.

The armor suit have two parts. First part is a tight suit that have a same form as dive suit. Weared from the back of it. Literally it have a zipper on it back. But when I wear it, the zipper is installed on it's own. What a future thing.

The second part is the armor. The armor is not fully cover you. It just have only for hands, chest, foot (armor shoes), and a helmet.

Six and I finished wearing armor suit at the same time. We even wear the helmet at quite same time.

"Come on soldier! We have an army of undead waiting for our sweet arrival!"

We began to walk join in to the squad.

The squad leaving the base. Go through the hallway and get off to the elevator then arrive at a room parking future airplanes.

In the room there are two of what you called a female Android robot. One waiting in front of the airplanes and the other standing at a table full of weapons.

We stopped first at the table. Choosing what we want to bring in the battle. For me, I usually choose a light shield and a one handed shotgun. I bring up a short sword to for secondary.

"Are you done with your toy, soldier! Let's go!"

With the commander command we began to walk in to the airplanes.

"The ace again only carried one long sword, eh"

My sight distracted by Six words. The person he mentioned is the one who only bring one weapon in his hand. That't not a problem even most of us bring atleast two in our hand though. Because he quite capable in the battle so that doesn't matter.

"Well, that's because he's the ace"

When all of us on board, the airplanes which piloted by the android started flying.

The airplanes flying using two driving machines on the left and right. A machine that can be moved down and up, front and back horizontically.

The airplanes began to move forward when the machines facing back.

Passing through long corridor before meet up with a gateway.

When the airplanes is out to white light, there is a view of another world.

Inside the airplanes we could see outside from the translucent floor and roof of the airplane.

On the outside there is a view of so much-better-than earth. The sky is filling up with green and blue colour. Not really far from it there is a view of an ouspace filled up with so much stars and cosmos.

The world is full of big tree. Including the one which is behind us. Natives of this world called it The Tree of Life. It has one miles height and has an area of about three kilometers in diameter.

That tree actually is a base of the native to hide from many monster of this world. Including one kind that we have to face. Even though the tree is protected by a transparent wall higher and wider than the tree.

We still fly high to the sky. When I though when it will be end, the next instant a view of hexagon thing that part of transparent wall appear and disappear. Show his form and disappear to let us out.

When the airplanes made out through the wall, a dark senses of an army of monster can be sense below us.

There is a hundred army of undead human attacking a giant base that actually a part of the transparent wall. If that break, the tree and everything in it will be food for every scary being in this world.

"Oke! Here is the plan!"

The commander stand up and walk to behind the airplanes. Opened the door and let in a windblow enter the room.

"We fall we sway! Got that soldier!"

"Sir Yes Sir!" said everyone in the room except me.

Why you ask? Because I'm not a soldier and why do we have to sway in the army of monsters.

"Ok, Let's roll!"

The commander fall first. Followed behind him every soldier in the airplanes.
