《Doomsday Pillars》002. Where to Start
Advertisement
Alex counted the remaining days, "30 days left before society collapses."
Looking around, the house was still and everything felt surreal to him. The last 11 years had changed him a lot.
The news channel took a break and changed into a commercial. A beautiful celebrity appeared advertising her beauty products.
He had met this woman a few years after the Doomsday and she was nothing compared to what she is now. Later on, she had become one of the leading figures in the fight against the monsters, but just like everyone else, it didn't end well for her.
The 30 days he has doesn't seem to be enough, but it's all the time he has.
He sat on the couch and held his head. He tried to calm down and remember all the things he had experienced. The last 11 years, until the life he had before the plague.
Alex, 36 years old, an Indonesian citizen living in a beautiful country consisted of hundreds of islands. He wasn't born into a rich family, but his childhood was quite decent.
His parents worked hard to have him finish his more than 10 years of study in Australia. When he returned to Indonesia, he met his wife Devita and got married.
He started his own architecture firm and later turned into a real estate developer. His company employed more than 300 workers. However, in Indonesia, it still counted as a small-sized company. Nevertheless, in his age, he could be considered a successful entrepreneur.
He was quiet, smart and a hard worker. He has two daughters, 12-year-old Tiffany, and 7-year-old Tiarra, both of whom were still in primary school. They're the joys of his life.
As he tried to remember the beginning, his heartbeat raced at what had occurred to his family.

When the plague started, his older daughter Tiffany caught the disease. They went to the nearest hospital; she was given antibiotics, but nothing worked. The doctors had never faced this type of disease before, even the whole world. Hence, a day after the plague, he lost Tiffany.
There was no time for a proper funeral and then the world began to descend in chaos.
A few days later, the dead rose up and started attacking the living. He lost his wife and his other daughter.
He failed to keep his duty as the pillar of the family. Madness took over him and began to slaughter those abominations! He kept getting stronger and stronger until one day, he found a new purpose. His life turned its wheels as he became one of the commanders of the Alliance.
Now, his top priority is to save his eldest daughter. He had heard in his previous life that there might be a way to save his daughter. This was actually the one and only way but even though it wasn’t conclusive, he would take the risk to retrieve it. No matter the cost.
When the Doomsday started, the survivors exhibited an increase in their physical prowess. As days passed, the continuous struggle with the undead made some survivors lift vehicles, run blazingly fast, and even resist bullets with just their bodies! There were also some lucky individuals, around 1 in every 10,000 survivors, that received a unique special ability.
Unfortunately, he was not one of these lucky individuals. So, Alex was inclined to believe that the same thing would happen this time.
As he looked into the mirror, his appearance, his face, everything was the same 11 years ago, but even though his body’s the same, his mentality and experience were vastly different.

Although all of his previous abilities have disappeared, a smile still showed on Alex's face. He knew a way from his past on how to get himself a special ability and there was one particular ability that he definitely must have.
Alex grabbed a notebook and a pen. He started to plan the best way to spend the next 30 days before the end of days starts. Resources, equipment, men and of course, a location for a survival base.
The first few weeks, after the plague started, would be the hardest. The Doomsday Pillars, a total of 1008 Pillars, would not come down until the 100th day.
Although he knew the locations of over a hundred different Pillars, he had already decided which one would be his first base. One of the 5 Pillars that would descend in Indonesia. The one where he had stayed the most in his previous life. The Doomsday Pillar that showed up in one of the most famous islands in the world.
The Island of Gods, Bali.
