Chapter 1 - Day 3670

The story of a world, perhaps a universe, filled with misfortune, chaos, and endless suffering. There is only one hero, born in a small village near the site of a massive explosion, the only one who can change everything. The question is whether or not he will succeed...

They all called the explosion "The Great Impact," and it seems that even they don't understand what they've been drawn into...

What will be the end of everything, and who will bring it?

Day 3670 after The Great Impact

Huna: Zo...Zo, wake up Zo.

Zo: What's the problem? I was having a beautiful dream.

Huna: Today's your birthday, Zo. We'll finally be able to go out.

Zo: Anyway, I need to turn 18 and a week old, have you forgotten?

Huna: Well, we're a week away from being free.

Zo: For someone who doesn't even remember to brush their teeth...

Huna: HEYYY!

They both laughed as Zo finished getting ready to go get his permit at the village gates. If they didn't have a permit and wandered into the forest, they would be captured and imprisoned, so they could reflect, for their own safety...

However, as they were heading to the gate, they found Nashw talking to the plants nearby.

Zo: Aren't you tired of not being answered yet, Nashw?

Nashw: They're offended by that statement...

Huna laughing: I love your imagination, little brother. It doesn't make me feel like the youngest one here.

Nashw: Okay, okay... So, Zo, is the permit pretty?

Zo: We're going there right now.

Nashw: So let's go, I want to get out of here soon. Enough of this idle training, I want everything to go back to the way it was before...

The three Heroes headed to the gate to get Zo's leave. They were bored of being stuck in the village, but their desire to live freely out there was even greater, even though it was dangerous.

Guard #1: You don't even need to say anything. Huna was announcing to the village all week that today was your 18th birthday.

*Huna's face turns red with embarrassment*

Guard #1: Anyway, I need to remind you that you can only leave in a week. That's enough time to think about what you're doing and give up on the idea. Just because this town has never been attacked doesn't mean there aren't any freaks around here. Apparently, our area is quite peaceful...

The guard ironically shows a part of his leg that was brutally ripped off by a freak.

Guard #1: Don't think that just because you've trained for 10 years and two of you are "marked," you're safe out there. Seeing them up close is quite different.

 

After the Big Impact, all life in the world was wiped out. When some people around the world, almost all children, woke up, they were marked, some on their faces, others behind their ears, or even on their necks. However, one thing they all have in common is that each of them gained unique powers that they can control as they wish. Nashw is one of the few marked who can't use their powers.

At that moment, something that looks like a ghost appears next to the guard and says,

Ghost: "I know, I know, I always warn him, but he doesn't listen..."

The ghost seems to be being ironic and speaking only to Nashw, as no one else can see or hear him.

Nashw screams: I ALREADY TOLD YOU IT DOESN'T MATTER, FREAKS, COLD, FOG, WHATEVER IT IS, I WANT TO BE ABLE TO LIVE LIKE I USED TO BE!!!

The guard is startled and confused, but Zo quickly explains.

Zo: It's no use, he's not talking to us.

Huna laughing: Our brother has his own world in his head.

The guard, frightened, having never been in direct contact with Nashw, quickly handed over the permit and sent them back to their tent, however...

Nashw was teleported to a white room filled with fog. As he tries to understand what's happening, something calls out to him desperately, seemingly asking for help.

???: NAAAASHW!!! NASHW MY LEGS, I CAN'T FEEL MY LEGS!!!

Nashw looks around for whoever is asking for help but only sees fog; there seems to be nothing there but fog.

Suddenly, there seems to be another person asking for help, but sometimes they're so distant and distorted that it's hard to make out who they are.

???: WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, I CAN'T BELIEVE WE CAME HERE TO DIE LIKE THIS, HE'S JUST GOING TO END EVERYTHING, NASHW!!!!!

Out of nowhere, Nashw returns to where he was. Zo and Huna seem normal. Nashw thinks about everything that just happened but doesn't come to any conclusions. Zo then sees that Nashw looks scared and asks...

Zo: So, Nashw, we still at the village, why the scared look?

Nashw: Hmm?

Nashw looks extremely confused, so Zo asks:

Zo: Is everything okay?

Nashw feels worse seeing that they are completely normal, meaning they didn't see anything he saw, so he decides not to say anything.

Nashw: Oh, I'm just a little anxious, don't worry, hehe...

Huna excited: I can't control myself either, let's go to the tent so we can sleep, time will fly faster if we sleep!

The three of them started laughing and continued to the tent, while Nashw continued to wonder what he saw and why only he saw and heard them calling him...
