Chapter 27 - 27. The End of a Beginning Book of Memories {II}: "Hero"

1 Years Later 'Antartica'

1950 'The Frozen Heir City: The world's defensive line.'

One year earlier the city of Antartica was attacked and became the first victim in the awakening of the ancient creatures, but Lee Hyun-woo managed to survive and save some of those who survived.

After that, he returned to the city in Antarctica where monsters gathered more often, even though it was cold, his body was still able to stay warm because he continued to move to fight.

Despite successfully defeating some of the creatures, they still quickly come back due to the rapid reproduction of the queen. Because of that, they quickly developed and went to other countries and caused chaos.

The countries with the highest military and technology since 1935 managed to survive, but some of them could not survive alone, so they had to survive by their own ways until the council finally make a move and help the others country.

However, from that incident, one of the strongest groups in the world survived in their own way, namely the Omni-Aegis Group, the group Lee Hyun-woo's father created.

Even though their founder is no longer there, they still run on the orders of their new superior, and Lee Hyun-woo himself is also looking for their whereabouts as well as his childhood friend.

*Boom*

A large explosion was seen in the distance, and someone just ran away who turned out to be a soldier.

"Shit, what am i suppose to do now?!"

*You didn't think I would fight them alone did you?!*

*Those damn groups member!!*

The soldier ran, seemingly chased by a large monster that was moving quickly towards him, but when he turned into an alley the soldier disappeared.

It turned out that the soldier entered through an open back door of the restaurant, although he was lucky, his fate did not end there,because there were still many herds of monsters waiting for him, even the monster that chase him still trying to find his whereabouts.

*After leaving me they still do crazy shit like blowing up all the equipment in the middle of the city?!*

*Those bastards.. If i die here im going to course them all.*

Putting that aside, the monster was still roaming around me, I even heard the sound of its teeth constantly grinding near me.

*Just hearing that scared me, I knew that even the slightest movement could kill me, but what if it was this close?!*

*How was I supposed to move?!*

I was so scared, I felt like I couldn't take it anymore, I just prayed that someone would help me.

*Please help me, someone!*

*Pleas-*

Suddenly a loud explosion was heard and behind the fire, someone walked out with his team.

A man in dark military uniform raised his hand, and ordered his team to advance and kill them all.

All the monsters were shot dead, and it shocked the soldiers who were hiding to see it.

"How could that be possible.?"

"You alright there?" The team leader came to him.

"Wha- oh yeah, im alright thank you."

"Follow."

For now I can only be grateful that I was helped by them, and follow them to their headquarters even though I don't know about them but it's better than freezing to death out here or being eaten by those monsters.

In the middle of Antarctica with temperatures of almost -60°C, I want to know where the base is, but more than that, I have something else I want to ask.

"Uhm, if it doesn't bother you, I'd like to know who you guys really are?"

"Us?! Don't you know we're from a famous squad?!"

"Uh..."

"Hey, if you keep being like that people will stay away from you, you know?"

"Sorry for the behavior, we are from one of the frontline squads called "King's Sword", I'm sure you know."

Honestly, the name alone sounds like a great squad, but yeah, I don't know anything.

"Sorry but, I don't know.."

"You do not know?!"

"Sorry again, it may be a rare name, but I'm sure you'll know the nickname of this squad's creator."

"Who..?"

"He is the strongest man the world knows today, he was also the first to arrive in Antarctica when the massacre occurred."

When I heard about the "first to arrive at the massacre" I suddenly felt reminded of something familiar.

"People call him "Hero", and he is our Boss."

"Hero" is a name that almost anyone can get for what they do, but this case is different.

He was the first person to arrive after the massacre by the monsters, and became the savior of the people in Antarctica, he was also the one who held back 75% of the monsters that came out..and all alone by himself.

*I don't know his name, but this is my chance to get into his team.*

*To avenge them!*

'A few minutes later, at the headquarters'

"Sorry you can't meet him at the moment, because he's busy with some things."

"Oh..okay, thanks."

Well, it's true. Someone like him must be incredibly busy, especially being the most important person in the world.

*But...busy? Is he really in the office, because it seemed like his secretary's gaze earlier didn't like me.*

*If he was busy he should be on the front lines right now, it was strange for someone like him to be at headquarters, unless it was something urgent.*

However, I myself also feel tired now, especially when I walk I feel weak and want to faint.

"This isnt good.."

"Oh-"

"Eh-"

*Oww, who would have thought someone would be running silently in this hallway.*

From his appearance, he was wearing glasses, I had never seen him before, but his presence seemed to remind me of someone.

"You okay?"

"Uh, yeah thanks for asking but im in hurry."

And so he left without saying anything else, not even paying much attention to his surroundings.

*He must be very busy.*

*Now, let's just take a nap.*

Everything is so dark, why does my body feel so sore, hot, and why is my heart beating so fast?

Is this the end of my life, is this my misery, is this my punishment after leaving them?

"Anyone.."

It was at that moment that a light shone upon me, the rubble of the ruins opened with someone reaching out his hand.

"You okay?"

That feeling was like a ray of hope that lit me up again, and from that day on I became a soldier to protect this city.

22:54 -62°C

'Outpost'

"Oh man, its freezing out here."

"Hell it is, look at the temperature.."

"Holy shit."

"See, they trying to kill us out here."

"No..look out there, there a giant monster incoming!!"

An unexpected giant monster appeared bringing its troops, the monsters ran quickly without avoiding towards the base.

The emergency alarm was sounded and shocked everyone, Meanwhile, on the other side, the group of monsters was seen forming a circle and there was a monster standing like a human coming out of the middle of the circle.

The monster just looked at the base from a distance, while on the other side the soldiers were busy gathering and preparing to face them.

"I just lay down for 1 hour, you can't be serious right?"

"Hey! Move quickly or we'll all die here!"

Even though everyone was in that panic, someone was seen standing on top of the base looking down at the crowd of monsters.

"What a cold air..."

"And they only made it worse."

Someone immediately rushed towards the monster in the middle, which turned out to be the monster commando, and the person who attacked turned out to be Lee Hyun-woo himself.

Their battle was so intense that they fell into the cold ocean, but after a while they got out of the water and headed towards the harbor.

"Oh man, i hope this doesnt cost a lot... let's just finish this now."

"Im already getting cold too."

They continued fighting, which looked like their strengths were evenly matched, but after the monster let down its guard a little, Lee Hyun-woo immediately killed it with 1 blow to the ground.

"Now..the rest, i just gonna leave it too them."

At the headquarters, the members of the King's Sword squad were seen gathered and ready to fight the monster army.
