《Doomsday Pillars》028.A Resolve
Advertisement
Alex woke up from a sleep, he currently laying in bed inside a small room. it's a simple wooden house with a small window, Alex can see the morning light. A moment later a woman came into the room, she wears simple traditional Indonesian clothing. she smiles at Alex, starring attentively.
"You already woke up? how do you feel? does it still hurt?"
Alex just realizes his body quiet rigid and hard to move. He seems to have been laying in this bed for quite a while. The woman opens up his shirt, apparently, there are lots of bandages in Alex body, she tried to change it into the new one.
Not long after, a man walks into the room, Alex recognizes him, the memory starts coming back to him.. this man called Erick saved him from the zombie attack. Erick took Alex to his house, its place in a small village in the central section of Bali near the mountains.
Erick then helps Alex awake and took him slowly to a dining table, there they sat together, Erick has a daughter and a son.
"Haloo mister my name is Nina,"
the little girl smile at him.
She reminds Alex a lot to his family. on the first day, the disease spread and not long after his daughter Tiffany died.. his wife and his other daughter Tiarra died following the chaos from the outbreak.
Alex turned into madness.. He pushes all the anger and sadness inside him into action.. He took any weapon he could find and start chopping down as many zombies he could find. Going around shelters to shelters with only one purpose in his mind. Kill as many zombies as possible. If he died during the process, it will be a release from his pain. Sometime later, during a group hunt he was separated and chased into the forest. When he was surrounded he thought it finally is his end, but this guy Erick save him.

Alex has no more meaning for his life, he no longer has a purpose, and here he was having breakfast together with people who resemble his family. Erick is a family man, he has a wonderful family, he also very lucky, none of his family members contracted the disease.
The village is very isolated, there are only about 50 people living here, most of them are survivors from the surrounding village. As the place are far from the cities, they rarely got any attack from the undead. There are 10 strong men who work together to protect the village. The village is quite peaceful, in times Alex also join the team and protect the village, he got nothing else to do. Alex becomes very close to the family and starts caring for Eric's children like his own, especially Nina, she has too much resemblance to Tiffany.
"I heard from another passing survivor that many people gathering in eastern Bali, there seems to be something that comes from the sky which helps the survivor," Erick said during a team meeting, they were discussing about moving the group to a bigger survivor area.
Alex actually disagree, he believes with a bigger group, it will be harder to survive as they will have to share resources, and Alex pointed out about how a desperate human are sometimes even more dangerous than the undead. The group agree with Alex, so they decided to stay.
Days, turns to weeks, with Alex and Erick become really close, they are the two backbone of the village, they are the two strongest men, sometime during hunt they found mutated animals and zombie which drops some stones, but they didn't know what to do with it.
In times, Erick becomes more restless, he thinks the undead attack become more frequent, and they have seen mutated ones more often. But some of the group still hesitate to move, so they still haven't made a decision.

One day, Alex and the group can feel something bad is coming. The ground is shaking, the trees are falling.. it was the hordes.. the undead in such a massive scales.. there were thousands of them..
the group suddenly feel in regret for not moving sooner.. there are women and children it will be very hard for them to outrun the zombies.
Alex volunteer to create a distraction and delay the hordes. all the other 10 as well except Erick. Alex forbade him to come.
How could 10 men, delay hordes of thousand undead? The group only managed to delay the hordes for 10 minutes. Alex was badly hurt and ran back to go search the villagers.. but he found the gruesome bodies and remains. Alex manages to find Ericks, the group was separated but Nina is with him.. Ericks was dying... there was no hope for him.
.

"You must save them... Safe as many as you can.."
Ericks last word...
Alex took Nina and search for others.. there is no one else survive...
Erick's wife and son, all died.
Alex manages to save Nina and bring her to the Doomsday Pillars, only Nina he manages to safe.
This is a very common story between the survivors... loved one, close friends each and everyone died.. if it wasn't for Nina, Alex would already lose his sanity. It was predicted that only 1% of the world poppulation manage to survive the first year. Each year the monsters only getting stronger.. and after 5 years human become an endangered species. We run and we hide.
After the incident with Erics, Alex develops a purpose.. to save as many as he can..
people call it messiah complex or savior complex. but Alex didn't care. its become his resolve.
He tries to save as many as he can.. but every time only more people died.. year 7 even Nina died. Alex probably one of the last human to die. its either he is the luckiest or the most unlucky...at the end he also died.
.
.
Alex woke up from his sleep, he falls asleep inside an aeroplane.
.
"The same dream again"
for Alex the last 11 years was a real nightmare, this nightmare just ends 2 weeks ago. it still engraves to his memory. He awake, reincarnated and got a second chance.
"Safe as many as you can,"
Alex knows he definitely cannot save everyone, just increasing the survivor of the first year from 1% to 2% would already be considered a success.
"how do you convince 7 billion people that in 2 weeks there will be doomsday?"
Hopefully, I will find the solution in here,
Aeroplane onboard announcement:
"Please be seated, this plane will soon arrive at our destination, city of Boston, United States."
Alex saw the woman sit next to him, its Aria,
"You actually don't need to follow me around"
Aria: "Yes..."
"do you even know what we are trying to do?"
Aria: "No..."
"you don't talk much do you"
Aria: "Yes..."

The Sea Tower
Sea witches were monsters of legends, capable of routing armadas and wreaking havoc across entire realms by controlling the weather. It was rumored that even the mighty krakens were under the control of the sea witches. Who, what, or where these witches were, no one knew. But no one sought them out either. The avarice of a mad king leads to the folly of a kingdom. Only a single turret survived the catastrophe, a single tower which protrudes outwardly from a boundless ocean, rumored to house the very creature which wreaked havoc and devastation. Sailors are warned to give the relic a wide berth, for few who have seen the tower ever return to speak the tale, and none who have approached it ever have. Do not approach the tower, they said…

A cute duckling in an ugly world
A twist on an old story. A cute duckling in an ugly demon world. A cute demon that starts with nothing, fighting trough the world, the insults, laughter of others at her appearance and other demons making fun of her for being cute, for being different. But she doesn't grow into a monstrous swan. No, that's not how her story ends. ------------------------------- I didn't use any movies, books or series for inspiration the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain telling me what to write. I hope you liked it :) It’s just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn’t have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.

Unique Fusion Magic Hex
World Essence. The mysterious energy coursing throughout the entire land of Vor'ten, and very possibly the entire world. This energy has allowed humanity to flourish, building great empires and vast kingdoms, conquering nature itself with just a sweep of their hand. Humans were the strongest existence, and with the help of channeling this World Essence, many were able to turn into Magic Knights, gaining magical abilities to combat the various fierce beasts throughout the lands.Alas... those glory days of old were long gone. Humanity has now been pushed to the brink of destruction, and now the remaining members of the human race are encased within giant domes known as 'Alkkras', made with the last remaining bits of the World Essence. It was said that those giant domes were the last gifts left by the remnants of the ancient human race, as a means to protect the future generation from the attacks of the many wild beasts roaming outside. Five Spiritualist Invokers, all combined together, used the last bit of the World Essence and sacrificed their lives to lay a gigantic, 1028-seal formation magic array to form these barriers, forever saving humanity, but also trapping humanity within these barriers.However, the humans were never completely helpless. No matter how little World Essence was left, the humans still had some remaining. Realizing the incoming crisis, the humans found a way to seal World Essence inside a special type of crystal. Soon, these crystals began to become implanted into weapons, turning them into World Essence Weapons, and they began to display properties of their own. Extreme heat. Bone chilling cold. Absurd sharpness. These normal weapons, after being imbued with the energy of the World Essence Crystals, began to form natural affinities to elements. Fire. Water. Earth. Wind. Darkness. Light. Using these weapons, one could become a Chevalier that wielded the power of the elements.However, if one wanted to reach a higher level of enlightenment and understanding, one could become an Invoker. Via the study of magic array formations, one could directly use the power of the World Essence to cast devastating magics upon the enemy. These people were Invokers, highly valued for their combat potential by the Army. These weapons and magical arrays were used in the great fight between the humans and the beasts long ago. They had long since been put away in storage, almost long forgotten...However, after ten-thousand years of suppression, the human race is beginning its counterattack against the Beasts... Synth was an Invoker in the Magecroft Academy. However, his talent was terrible, being only at the Spark Stage. This led to him being looked down upon and bullied. He was unable to cast any Calamity-rank or even Destruction rank spells, and was only able to cast Coalescing rank spells at the age of 17, a record low in the academy for cultivating these rare Invokers. Even though he put in more effort than anyone else, he was still unable to advance his Channeling Energy. But due to his constant research and study, Synth ended up creating a power that would go against the heavens - he had found how to Fuse spells together. After trying it out once, merging the magical array for the Small Fireball and the Mortal Judgement skills, he was able to create a mid-rank Destruction tier spell, Holy Judgement Flame. However, after this, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to fuse more spells together or even cast them, and noticed a weird, pentagram shaped formation on his left arm. He would later call this mark the Fusion Magic Hex, a curse that prevented the wielder from casting magic that wasn't their own...This meant that with the exception of Synth's newly created skill, , he was going to have to create unique magic arrays if he ever wanted to step on the path of becoming an Invoker! This power that destroyed the laws of the Invoking System, and his unyielding persistence in testing and creating new spells, would later gain Synth the nickname the Unique Fusion Hex, and lead him to become one of the strongest beings in the entire World!
