1.
The advent of monsters destroyed the civilization of mankind in a moment. In such a land where civilization was destroyed, humans became beasts and monsters.
”Spare, spare me...”
So was Gwangmyeong.
The sudden emergence of monsters brought down everything: electricity was cut off, communications paralyzed, and gas and oil, which enriched and warmed mankind, became fuel for burning mankind.
Those who survived barely or luckily in such a world became monsters to survive.
”What is it? A man?”
”I thought you were a girl because you are slim, but you are a man! Shit, I have lost my strength.”
”Oh, you son of a bitch, if you get caught, you get caught meekly! How dare you run away?”
Four men surrounded a man in the cold, desolate forest of buildings.
”I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please spare me—”
It was not difficult to understand what the situation was like. And it was not difficult to predict what would happen in the future, either.
One of the four men kicked the head of the man who had fallen on the ground with their military boots, like kicking a soccer ball.
”Khuck!” The man screamed and tumbled over.
It was the poor, pathetic scene, but the man, who had kicked him rather than feeling sorry for him, trampled over the man's pathetic chest with his foot like he was trying to break his ribs.
Puck!
The scrawny man curled up in pain and fear.
The four men began to talk, looking at the man under their feet.
”You look like a real girl. Damn, I ran like crazy, as I wanted to taste you.”
”What shall we do? Should we just kill him here?”
”Just kill him, and we can't even use him even if we get him to the hideout anyway, can we? We can't rape him.”
”Maybe there's someone who likes him.”
”Isn't that what you like?”
”What do you think I am?”
”Be quiet, we'll all be done if the monster comes after hearing the noise.”
The man, who was in a frightening conversation, forced himself to speak in a breathless situation. ”Spare, spare, spare me…”
But it had a negative effect. One of the other men frowned at the man who somehow squeezed out his voice and was begging for his life again and again.
”Why don't we pull his tongue first, since he is so noisy?”
The man begging for his life shut his mouth at the eerie warning. There was a moment of silence.
It was thanks to the silence. Because of the sudden silence, they could hear another man around, who quickly approached their vicinity.
”Uh?”
”Who, who is it?”
The man's appearance was unique. He was wearing a dark blue suit with a black leather guard and vest, and he looked like a member of a police SWAT team.
But he was not a member of a SWAT team, and there were many differences from a policeman. What he was carrying on his back was the most eye-catching. He was carrying something that anyone could see was a Sword.
If it had been before civilization had collapsed, he would have looked like a costume player, or an actor in a drama or a movie. In addition, it was not abnormal in a city of lawlessness where civilization had collapsed.
That was why everyone was nervous.
A strange-looking man in such attire would only have made their eyes frown before civilization collapsed, but now they did not know what the strange-looking man in the outfit would do.
”Who are you?” one of the men asked.
Instead of answering the sound, the man raised the thing he was holding in his hand. Then he tapped it lightly with his left hand.
Click!
It was a K5 pistol that chambered with a click, instead of replying.
”Gu-gun?”
”Cr-crazy!”
They didn't see it when they looked at it from afar, but as soon as they heard the loading sound, the four men knew that it was a gun and began to retreat in horror.
The fact that there was nothing they could do with the four of them in front of a gun, was not something they should have experienced.
Only one of them remembered what he should say in front of the gun.
”W-we belong to Messiah! Messiah!”
It was a kind of frantic attempt.
At the threat, the man holding a gun made a slight frown on his brow. He seemed to know the word ”Messiah.”
Is that why? That kind of frantic attempt became a threat immediately.
”If you touch us, our organization will not stay still!”
”Yes! If you touch us, you'll die!”
No less childish, it was really a threat worse than kindergarten children would do.
But unexpectedly, the front-facing gun was lowered.
'Di-did it work?'
'We're saved!'
At the same time, the four men breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
'Uh?'
