章節 6: 6.) Standing Up For Oneself

"So I'm a rank higher than Roger and his group now!" Dawn's new rank fueled her confidence and allowed her to feel more comfortable now that she had the strength to defend herself.

"It's a good thing I left. Plus, if this world is anything like World Savior, staying in that warehouse would only lead to death or even more troublesome problems. Now, let's review my notes." Dawn reached into her back pocket, checking for her phone only to panic when she felt nothing.

"Damn it! Don't tell me I dropped my phone at the warehouse?! Let me retrace my steps, and if I don't see it, I'll make my way back to the warehouse."

After Dawn left the Giant Rat Nest, she retraced her steps and searched for her phone, only to come up empty-handed.

"Really didn't want to come back here." Dawn stood outside the warehouse and felt like cursing the sky.

Dawn spent an hour trying to find a way back in. Luckily, she found a crack in the wall that she squeezed into and found herself on the west side of the building. Crouching down below, Dawn blended with the crowd and began her search.

She had just made her way to the east side when a voice made her heart jump. "Well, lookie here! It seems a little rat has snuck herself back inside the building~!"

Knowing that the jig was up, Dawn dropped her head in defeat and turned around. The sight that greeted her was Misty.

"You know, you really don't know how to appreciate others' kindness. I offered you a chance to stay safe and be fed, but what did you do? You left in the middle of the night as if I damned you. And here I thought we were friends." Misty's sympathetic voice had drawn a crowd around them.

"Drop the fake act, Misty! You don't give a damn about me and I am not your playtoy!" Dawn defended herself, tired of Misty and her fake mask.

Taken back by Dawn's sudden outburst, Misty was ready to rebuke the girl when a hand touched her shoulder. "Now, that is no way to speak to my favorite girl. Especially since I believe this is what you came back here for, right?"

Standing beside Misty was Roger, who waved Dawn's phone in his hand. "You bastard give that back!" Neko-chan sensed Dawn's attitude and glared at the human man that dared anger its new master.

"No can do, sweetheart~! For you must be punished for going against your superiors. I'm the king around here and I can't have a servant disrespecting my authority."

Roger threw Misty the cellphone and summoned a sword to his hand. Sensing the man was up to no good, Dawn fused with Neko-chan just in time for Roger's sword to collide with her claws.

'She's changed!' Misty was hit with yet another dose of shock, eyes taking in Dawn's new appearance.

When the world collapsed and monsters invaded, Misty felt as if she had somehow entered a nightmare. When Roger took a liking to her, having seen the haul of food his group would bring back, Misty had no problem turning on the charm, seeing the man as nothing more than a shield of protection.

If this was the old her, she would have never lowered her standards to such an average-looking man. but the world had changed and so did her priorities. Instead of a handsome man with money, she needed someone strong to protect her.

Misty would admit that at first she hardly took notice of the other girl, but as Roger's hunter group appetite continue to grow, so did the labor and Misty was sick of it! Out of desperation, Misty recalled Dawn's excellent baking skills and wanted to use them for her own advantage and at the same time give herself a break.

In the eyes of Misty, Dawn was a timid girl with ordinary looks. One who was too afraid to take chances and was easy to bully which is why she brought up her name to Roger. Misty was not one who favor hard labor, and cooking in a kitchen did not fit her! Better yet, it was beneath her, which was why she was going to use Dawn to do her bidding. 

Two bill birds with one stone, but Dawn just had ruined her perfectly laid out plan. Even now the other girl was getting on her nerve.

"Oh, not bad! It seems someone has leveled up!" grinned Roger, swinging his sword only for each blow to be blocked by Dawn's claws.

"You bastard! I've been waiting a long time to knock that arrogant smirk right off your face! Don't you dare underestimate me!" Dawn swung a kick and sent Roger sprawling against the ground.

"You bitch! How dare you humiliate me!" Rage glowed in Roger's eyes, humiliated that such a little girl landed an attack on him when his level should be higher than hers.

'No way can this little girl's level outrank me when she has only been gone a day! It took me three weeks to reach level five! Never will I allow myself to be outmatched by a woman!'

As a child, Roger's father taught him that a woman's place was beneath that of a man, which he drilled into his son's head. Roger believed this, watching his mother act submissive when in the presence of his father.

But upon entering the real world, he learned the hard truth that not everyone thought in the same way as his father, and Roger hated it.

His anger became more prominent when he began working at a law firm and experienced how the women at work would talk down or ignore his advances, hating the fact that a mere woman got the promotion he had been eyeing and sucking up to the higher braces for weeks.

So when the opportunity came knocking at his door, Roger relished with pride and enlightenment at how those foolish women now fell at his feet—forsaking their precious pride, willing to do anything for his protection. Roger was a man who believed that a woman's place was in his bed or his kitchen. Never the other way around!

The blade of Roger's sword was coated in flames, eyes hot with rage. "At first, I only wanted to punish you, but it's time for you to know your place! Your death will be quick! A warning to others to never cross me!" Roger swung his sword and a burst of flames shot out of it.

"I could say the same thing about you!" Purple flames danced in the palm of Dawn's hand, transforming into a giant fireball which she launched at Roger.

The two fire attacks collided. The spectators watched with wide eyes, many believing Roger had the upper hand. Misty also believed victory was in Roger's hands, but both were flabbergasted when Dawn's attack proved to be superior, overpowering Roger's flames before heading in his direction.

"N-No! T-This can't be! S-Stop! I don't want to die!" Seeing the giant fireball closing the distance, Roger could foresee his death and rejected the idea of dying.

He fought tooth and nail just to reach this point! For three weeks, Roger had beautiful women offering their bodies to him, willing to do anything for him. And Roger wanted to continue thriving off this power, but his wishful dream had come to an end.

Roger's painful screams filled the warehouse as the flames devoured him. The spectators that were watching either froze in place or screamed, shielding their eyes from the gruesome scene. Dawn ignored the crowd and calmly walked over to a stunned Misty and snatched her phone.

Ready to make her exit, Dawn spotted the blonde beauty that was harassed by one of Roger's cronies and decided to leave her with a few words of advice before she departed this place.

"Instead of staying here, relying on their protection, you should rely on yourself. The world has changed. If you wish to bring an end to your situation, do it yourself instead of waiting for a hero." With that said, Dawn left the warehouse, never once looking back or planning to return to such a place.

章節 7: 7.) Saving My Savior

Dawn sat on top of an overturned car, holding her chin while in deep thought. Lying on the ground were the dead bodies of three Giant Rats. "World Savior is a story that went on for four years, and despite a few big plot details, a lot more of the small insignificant details are stuck in my head."

Dawn took out her phone and began going over her notes. "If I did end up in World Savior, the people I know shouldn't be here, right?"

The more Dawn pondered on the idea, the more confused she became. "Well, better not lurk around here!" Dawn put her phone away and hopped down from the car. Neko-chan rested, curled upon her head, while Dawn continued her journey when she came upon a distressing scene.

Surrounding a badly injured boy, whose face Dawn could barely make out, was a pack of {Lvl 3: Hunting Wolves}. Their thick fur was coated gray with blue streaks, twice the weight and height of ordinary wolves, and angrier looking.

Dawn stared at the scene before moving her eyes elsewhere. Just because she saw a person in danger doesn't mean it was her job to go out there and save him. She did not have the trait of a hero.

Meaning she wasn't going to risk her life for every desperate person she came across. Her current worry rested on the safety of herself and her family, who she could not reach.

Concealing her presence, Dawn ducked down and began to crawl behind debris and destroyed buildings. Peeking her head out, Dawn saw the group and, this time was able to get a better look at the boy.

'Wait a sec! I know him! He's my savior from the warehouse!'

Dawn could never forget the face of her savior, not just for his kindness, but because the boy's appearance reminded her of those pretty boy band idols that once stirred the heart of girls all over the world.

Recalling how she never had the chance to thank him, Dawn began to move in their direction.

- -

A young man sat on the ground. Bruises marred the handsome features of his porcelain face, such as a black eye and a busted lip. Blisters covered his hands, and the rips of his jeans were stained with blood. The 21-year-old was named Kris, and he was currently facing a crisis.

Death stood at his doorstep, but he refused to give up, using his hand to support his left side, which was flaring.

Kris would never forget the day he opened his eyes and saw the world turned upside down, bringing an end to his life as a second-year college student. Instead of classes, he had to put his life on the line battling monsters.

It reminded him of those comic books he loved reading when he was a kid, wishing he had superpowers. One moment he was riding the bus, and the next, he woke up with a terrible headache. Staring down at his hands, he saw them stained with blood that dripped from his forehead, and that's when he heard the screaming of people.

Fixing his eyes outside the window, he saw burning buildings, sirens blaring, and people in the streets running in distress.

And that was when he heard the heavy stomps of footsteps that felt like small earthquakes and screamed when he saw hordes of Giant Rats picking people off the ground and eating them.

Getting to his feet, Kris ignored the unconscious state of the other passengers, including the bus driver whose bloody head was lying against the steering wheel.

Kris ran for dear life, only pausing when a mysterious blonde girl appeared floating in midair. After the girl explained what was happening, he found himself at a warehouse, where he stayed for two weeks before deciding to leave after witnessing the abuse that was starting to happen and decided to rely on himself.

It didn't take Kris long to understand how to survive on his own and quickly adapt to this new world where morals were twisted and the strong ruled over the weak and implemented laws.

Kris refused to lose himself in this horror film of a new world. Unwilling to submit to someone else's laws. He decided to grow stronger, throwing himself into battles, but it seemed he may have overdone it by rarely allowing himself a moment to rest.

Over the weeks Kris spent battling monsters, his wounds had increased, none given a chance to heal.

The wolves, tired of looking at their prey, pounced but before the one with the closest reach could sink his fangs into the boy's flesh, a blood shower rained from the air as claw-like marks appeared on the wolf's neck before purple flames engulfed its body.

"Now, I can't let you take the life of my savior~!"

Dawn wagged her finger at the gang of wolves as if they were naughty pups. Lying with his back propped up against a car, Kris wondered where this strange girl came from and why had she come to his aid?

'Is this girl even human?' Kris couldn't believe what he was seeing as he watched the pack of wolves surge forward and watched in awe as the cat-girl raced into the pack.

The girl's movements were fast and agile, severing the wolves' necks and stabbing them with her claws. Minutes passed before the battle came to an end, and the girl stood victorious.

Once the girl was finished eliminating the wolves, Kris felt somewhat fearful, despite not showing it, when the girl began to walk his way before crouching down right in front of him.

"Here! This should heal those wounds of yours." She threw him a blue vial of healing potion, which was a bonus reward she got for defeating the Giant Rat King.

"Umm? T-Thank-you?" The boy looked unsure.

Dawn noted that he probably wondered why she was so nice to a stranger she just met. If she was in his shoes, she probably would be on her guard too.

"Look, the only reason I saved you is because of a favor you once did for me, back at the warehouse. I'm the type who believes in repaying favors and treating others just as they treated me. I was too shy to express my thanks back then, and when I finally gathered my courage, you disappeared. So, even though I'm late, allow me to say thank you for saving me that day, hero!"
