Chapter 2 - Chapter 1 : The Great Calamity

8 September 2023, It was a day when an unknown glowing star collided with earth. It was big enough to destroy the large portion of the area. Luckily the crashing place was an Abundant island, but as a result Ocean wave and Earthquake brought Disaster to nearby island.

This caused a lot of damage but luckily our Havelock Island survived. This was a tragic incident for all of us that's why it is called 'The Great Calamity'.

Soon after that the people of islands which were involved in The Great Calamity started to feel a strange type of force in them. Later after some research we came to know that this strange force is due to Power which may be the result of previous incidents

I was lucky as I was one of them who got power.

After buying snacks I was returning home when I started feeling dizzy, and I lost my consciousness.

When I opened my eyes I was surrounded by 2 to 4 men, Lucky me woke up in just time or something awful could happen. As soon as I analyzed the situation without any delay I started to run.Three man was still following me, one of them yelled

"She don't know how to use 'Aes'!!"

Huh! Aes? why it feels like I heard it. No this is not time to think 'bout it. I was running until I found myself in a dead end. They also reached here by this time, shit do I really have to fight, it's been 2 years since I last fought.

I brought my hand near my face and came into a fighting position.

"So pretty girl wanna fight?" a man laughed.

"what is in it to Laugh?" I replied and gave a straight punch in his mouth. unfortunately he was fast and grabbed my fist and squeezed it. Damn..he was strong, it feels like my hand is going to get crushed.I tried to withdraw my hand but didn't succeed.

"Do you think with this much power you can fight us?"he mocked.

It was the time when I saw a shadow behind him. The shadow behind him hit on his pressure point and the man fainted at the place. All of his men were already out of fight.

Just what is happening how can he knock out all of them in just no time. Maybe he read my face and asked "Looks like you are now here?"

"..oh! Yes. By the way Where are we? I mean this place? "

"this place is called The New World."

"New World....huh?" what the hell is going on I massage my head.

"You will get used to it." the man chuckled.

Get used to it. What does he mean by that?

"Anyway, I am Nolan. I was the same when I came here first."he reached out his hand.

"I am Estelle. And thank you for saving me." I replied while giving him a handshake.

"You should get ready The mission is about to start."

"Mission? Can you explain it to me just what is happening here. First the man who was hella strong , then you came out of nowhere and now this mission thing." I ask in a frustrated voice.

"First we should find some place it is not safe here as you saw earlier. If you don't mind you can come with me." he said, and came into light.It was when I saw his face. Slightly long purple hair covered with comparatively small black. Deep set of black eyes and sand color skin tone.

He was right but how can I trust him. It was risky to go with him. Maybe he understands my hesitation,

"Here take this." He passed me a sharp dragger " If you feel insecure you can use it on me.Is it okay now?"

I took the dragger and starts following him. While walking behind I noticed our height gap., it was near 20 cm wow I never felt this small before. Now when I scanned the surroundings it was worse, like the after-war situation, buildings were broken, the road was full of garbage and the weird creature's dead body. For a moment I thought am I in my dream? I slapped myself , shit it hurts. It wasn't a dream but does this creature come like our power, due to the unknown glowing star.

My mind was full of questions at the time and a floating message popped out in air out of blue

[The 3rd mission is about to start. Players be prepared.]

[mission will start in 3 hr.]

"Aaa.." Due to the sudden message scream release from my mouth. I looked at Nolan. His lips stretched forming a small smile.

"It is like a Video game complete mission or receive penalty which can also be your death." he simply chose to say this.

"I see." It wasn't acceptance but Ignorance. Right now I was in A great shock.

Nolan reflexively turns towards me, " really?"

I am sure he wasn't expecting this answer.

"....." I looked at him in 'i am so done' face .I am daze bro give me some time to catch the situation.

"Oh sorry." He understood and continued to walk.
