Advertisement
A mother holding her son is running and panting heavily in the dilapidated streets of New York, just an hour ago everything was alright but then those things began to appear one after one and then it became a nightmare.
The boy was scared and hiding in the only safe place the arms of his mother, the mother was frantically running feeling like every step she took was a breath away from death.
Those creatures were horrible they bit every person that was around them, just remembering the tragic and miserable end of her husband she felt like crying and retching, but she didn’t have this luxury, her five years old son is still with her, she could do anything for his safety.
Spotting a relatively safe building she squeezed the remaining strength she had in her legs and continued to advance but then the inevitable happened.
Two bald grey skinned creatures made their appearance from behind an abandoned car, the mother seeing them panicked and was full of fear but she didn’t slow her steps and ran toward the building.
Sadly, those creatures were not like the zombies in the movies, they were not so slow, noticing the mother and her son, a frenzied look were on their faces and they were salivating at the sight of the fresh human meat.
Quickly they caught up, the mother feeling the abominable presence behind her didn’t have a choice, she threw her son past the opened door of the two-story building.
One of the creatures already extended its hands and pinned the mother down to the ground before biting a chunk of flesh from her neck.
“I…I hope …you… can be safe my son …”
With the little strength she had she firmly closed the door, a desperate smile and tears appeared on her face, the blood continued to cover the floor, the second creature arrived directly biting her calf, then a third, fourth…
The tragic sounds then ceased after a few moments what remained were some bloody incomplete organs and bones left here to testify about the gruesome end of the mother.
----------------------------
A young man was hiding in a hotel kitchen in brazil, just a few hours ago he was eating in the hotel restaurant with his girlfriend happily, but then everything suddenly changed.
Screams, explosions, cars colliding and even planes crashing, he witnessed the birth of those terrible grey skinned creatures.
Just their appearance sent shivers down his spin, even now he can’t stop trembling.
They were human at first but they changed rapidly into these things and immediately attacked others before feasting on them.
Residual limbs can still be seen inside the restaurant, his girlfriend was now one of these creatures, he was very near to being a meal for her but he miraculously escaped and hide inside the kitchen.
Then sounds of steps rang inside the deserted kitchen, there was no way it was human, if it was it won’t make sounds this loud, that was just like screaming “I’m here you can eat me “.
The young man heart rate accelerated, result of his extreme fear, holding his breath he hoped that the creature could quickly leave.
Clang!
Without noticing, his hand touched a ladle that was laying on the floor then his expression froze.
“oh shit …”
-----------------------------------
In japan, America, Europe, Russia, everywhere the same experiences were again and again repeated, tragic deaths were witnessed all around the world.

Burning cars were on every road and streets.
Huge explosions, the result of helicopters and planes crashing into buildings.
A veritable purgatory, it was hell on earth and blood flowed like a never-ending river.
Inside a conference room in china.
“Head we lost contact with the standing committee and even lost contact with the presidency we also came to know that the incident is worldwide, the death toll is constantly increasing, the situation is incomparably serious”
A soldier was reporting to an old man that was looking absentmindedly at the pictures in front of the screen, he was wearing a heavily decorated military uniform, his face was dignified and full of incomprehensibility.
“what in the world is happening?”
“head we have spotted the appearance of many weird creatures and never seen species of animals, we also noticed that an important number of people transformed into cannibal monsters and preyed on humans”
The soldier continued to report matters.
“is this really the end of the world?”
The old head eyes were full of anxiety and ignorance for the future.
------------------------------------
Ju long continued to gaze at what was happening outside from his window he didn’t open the curtains too wide because he knows that the sub-human’s sensitivity is high.
He wasn’t in a hurry, for the time being he just waited for things to calm down, the first hours were chaotic and everyone was in a panicked state, it is very unfavourable to go out at this time.
“everything is the same as the first time, it’s just that I’m the different one “
In the last life, Ju long was fortunately inside his house the moment the disaster began so he was safe, but he was too scared so he stayed at home for weeks and he missed the best time to leave.
This time it’s completely different, with his experience and ability he is confident that he can go sideways in this terrible era and why not become one of the strongest human beings.
Looking at the evil starving creatures outside, Ju long was thoughtful.
Grey skinned sub humans are primitive beings they may terrorize ordinary people but in fact they are not so terrible, a person if he can muster his courage can deal with one or two.
If the average strength of a human being is 1 then the strength of a grey skinned sub human amount to 1.5, what is terrible is not the strength of an individual but that they are often in a pair or more, raising the difficulty to resist them.
Ju long knew that sub humans will evolve after half a year, and some yellow skinned will appear from time to time, he knew that the ability to breed will only appear after four years and finally intelligent sub human’s existence is after five years.
The colour of their skin indicates their levels, only green skinned sub humans have intelligence and only then the true war will begin.
“I must be cautious, if I can be careful about some mutated animals and hordes of sub humans, then there will be no problem to move in this city”
Four hours already passed, Ju long took the two military daggers and attached them on his legs, his guns on his waist and his sword on his back, wearing his cloak his face was now covered.
Ju long decided to first clean his building and clear hidden dangers, grey skinned sub humans are in the first stage, they have poor vision but they have acute hearing and smell.

Looking from the cat’s eye of his door, Ju long didn’t see anything in the corridor, just some residual limbs and blood on the walls, he noticed that the door of his neighbour was destroyed, he can conclude that his poor fat otaku of a neighbour didn’t have luck.
“this building has four floors and I’m currently situated at the second floor …let’s begin!”
Ju long eyes became firm, opening the door carefully he stepped out silently, the familiar stench of blood permeated in the air, Ju long just frowned but he was already accustomed so he didn’t feel uncomfortable.
Looking at the blackened blood on the wall, Ju long deducted that the sub humans on this floor have long left, maybe looking for other prey.
Ju long decided to first go to the upper floors so he took the stairs and appeared on the third floor, same scenery, scattered intestines and bones.
Advancing carefully, he suddenly heard a sound, it was weak but for the strengthened Ju Long, this sound was still clear.
Following the sound, he arrived at a door, it was open and traces of impacts were seen, Ju long withdrew his sword from its scabbard and walked past the threshold.
Suddenly his eyes became cold and his senses constantly warned him, a shadow leaped from another room and immediately threw itself on Ju long, a hideous mouth was open and ready to bite.
Ju long wasn’t slow he raised his silver dark sword and crouched slightly taking a single step, every action was made in the span of a single second.
Ughhaaaa!
A terrible cry of pain followed by a rain of black blood then a dull collision with the floor, the shadow appearance was now in sight.
The sub human was male he was twitching on the floor, a 10 cm large wound was extending from the chest to the end of the stomach, the intestines were visible and blood continued to flow out.
Ju long didn’t stare too long he took his sword and pierced the head ending the life of the sub human.
“well I remember that this house was a family of three”
Ju long didn’t lower his vigilance and began examine the remaining rooms, the last room was the bedroom.
A woman was lying on the floor eyes wide open, the pupils were dilated, the last look was full of fear, crouching beside the corpse was a little girl, no the absence of hair on the head was the proof that it wasn’t a little girl anymore.
Turning around, the mouth was full of red blood, some residual flesh was still on the corner, the sound of chewing was terrible in the silent room.
Without further ado, Ju long eyes were cold without feelings, the sword in hand, he instantly appeared in front of the little girl and slashed horizontally, a little head flew and rolled on the floor before stopping near the wall, the white disgusting eyes were still full of greed.
“to think it was still a happy family yesterday, now the daughter is scooping her mother organs, what irony …”
Ju long muttered while shaking his head bitterly, with a move the black blood staining the sword was shook and formed a line on the ground.
putting the sword back in its sheath, Ju long took the military dagger and pierced the headless corpse of the little sub human girl, he precisely made an incision near the spinal cord, a weird spherical organ was spotted.
“hey it seems I’m lucky!”
Ju long was rarely excited but now he was feeling happy.
This spherical organ contained a small amount of liquid, this liquid is the Barrisium necessary to evolution, this organ was latter called the Barrisium sac.
In the first phase, grey skinned sub humans having a Barrisium sac are rare, that was why Ju long felt lucky.
The chances to find a Barrisium sac in grey skinned humans is 1/10, it means that Ju long needs to kill tens of sub humans to at least find one.
Ju long then took from his pocked a small and durable metallic syringe, and extracted the Barrisium of the sac, about 1 ml was found.
Ju long was disappointed at the little amount but he quickly shook his head, it was already good that his first attempt resulted in a success.
Carefully hiding the syringe, he next did the same thing the male sub human still lying in front of main door, but this time it was doomed to fail but Ju long wasn’t discouraged, satirically sub humans are not ready to disappear the city is full of them.
Not waiting Ju long continued to explore the fourth floor, only one sub human was found previously an old man, he was solved easily, the sword was sharp and the head was flying.
Don’t look at Ju long doing this so easily, an ordinary man with an ordinary sword couldn’t do it so swiftly.
“it seems that there are not enough prey so other sub humans left … only the first floor is remaining “
In fact, the building had four floors but not many houses were occupied, it was far from the city centre and cheap it wasn’t favoured.
But it was also the reason why Ju long was safe in the last life because this zone wasn’t much populated.
Ju long decided to return to his house, The Barrisium needs to be injected quickly otherwise its effect will greatly decrease.
The streets were already deserted, the ground was full of blood and cars were scattered, sometimes screams still could be heard, surely some of the hidden survivors.
It was already night, the darkness was more dangerous because the sight was greatly affected and the creatures didn’t count on vision to hunt humans.
So, the first rule was to avoid obscure places.
Ju long took of his cloak and sat cross-legged on his bed, he directly took the syringe and simply aimed at his heart injecting the 1 ml of Barissium, why directly in the heart?
Because the it will quickly circulate in the blood.
Ju long felt some itchiness but nothing painful, taking the Geiger counter he noticed that the radiation exposure increased from 0.6 rem to 0.8 rem.
Nothing will change his strength is till the same, everything will change only when he becomes a first order evolver.
Only two more injections and he can successfully step into the rank of evolvers.

8 124MANTIS: On Hiatus
Two young adults who were childhood friends are killed amidst a pandemic worse than our own. After many years apart, Rihelah was on her way to see Michael, hoping to rekindle their friendship on the day they would both lose their lives. The pair are unwittingly selected to represent Earth in a test set forth by godlike beings who are intrigued that our world gave rise to complex life without having been intentionally seeded by their kind. Michael and Rihelah are reincarnated as predatory insects upon a distant planet called Edon. Elves, Dwarves, Dragons and their kin, Goblins, Ogres, Humans, Lizardfolk, Orcs, and sapient arthropods known as Enkelyn all inhabit this beautiful world touched by magic. The tiny mantids must survive terrified and very much alone upon arrival, while neither is aware that the other has also been reincarnated upon the same island. Naked in their new chitinous exoskeletons, they must now brave the terrors of an alien world's food chain. Each will benefit from their years of experience on Earth, but they must somehow find a balance between old lives and new. Moderate mindsets and peaceful values from a mostly safe and privileged life on Earth must now contend and somehow coexist with the strange physiology of a new and unfamiliar body as well as the violent aggressiveness of a predator's mind. To top things off, the pair are about to find themselves struggling with their inner turmoil while swept up by terrible conflicts they know nothing about. Both endure the hardships of their new lives while attempting to understand and make proper use of a mysterious and terse video-game-like System that pops status notifications into their vision from time to time, but initially has no useful interface. Some of the options they are presented with sound enticing, but as with everything else in life, each choice has benefits and drawbacks... Author's Note: This story makes many changes to the original version, and readers of Mantid will find that many things in Mantis are new and different; especially after the first few chapters. I've learned a ton from writing like a madman, and also from the RR community. I appreciate you guys! :)
