Not all the things that came out of the black cards were useful. Mostly they were miscellaneous things.
Shards of iron, fire, wind, and other elements. They were called essence.
God knows what use they have. Out of 20 cards Matt has, 18 have these shards. The last card pulled out a pair of a walkie talkies.

But before they could check their stats, Sam interrupted.
"They stopped." Sam suddenly whispered as he looked outside.
"Hmm." Matt and Ashton looked at Sam asking what he meant.
"Awakens. They all stopped. They aren't moving anymore. None of them are." Sam whispered.
Matt and Ashton looked at the road and were taken aback. The awakens truly weren't running anymore.
They all stopped.
All of them.
Like a statue.
Pin drop silence descended in the whole city.
Nothing could be heard.
Not even a sound of breath.
"GRRRR…. GRRRRRRR.... GRRRRRRRRRRR.... GRRRRRRRRRRRR...…" All the awakens started to graweed, not screaming. It's like they were angry. Pissed at something. But at the same time fearful.
"GRAWWWWWWWWWWWWWW...….." A ferocious scream was heard, echoing in the whole city.
All three of them shut their ears. The scream felt so painful that they all nearly fainted. Their heads become dizzy. Matt nearly vomited.
Then it happened. All the awakens started screaming "GRAWWWW…. GRAWWWWWWW..... GRAWWWWWWWWW....." Hitting the road with their legs.
All together.
All the awakens.
The land started to vibrate. Trees started to fall. Every human in the Carin City hid in their houses. Cowering in fear.
Matt, Sam, and Ashton weren't any different. Ashton was tightly hugging Matt. Protecting him. Don't know from what but he was just protecting.

It was an instinct.
Sam also pulled his hammer out and get as close as he could to Matt and Ashton. Putting his hand on Ashton's shoulder. Rubbing it gently. His eyes never left the scene.
Awakens just growled and growled and growled for five minutes continuously and then they dispersed. But dispersed would be an understatement.
No.
They started searching.
Just like before but this time things were different.
Before mostly awakens were separate and alone. Only comes in a group when they saw humans.
But now they all walked in a group as they started destroying houses, trees, shops, petrol pumps, and much more. Whatever they see they destroyed. Whoever they found they kill.
And again, the massacre started.
"W-W-W-W-W-What now?" Sam statured as he looked at the falling sun.
Matt and Ashton on the other hand looked at the awakens who were now coming towards the mall.
"We need to go to the top floor. Find a close place. From where we can target and kill as many awakens as we can"
"Until we can. Till our bullets run out. Only then we will use our powers. Do not waste your Endurance. Not even a bit. Now hurry." Matt spoke as he gave the commands.
At a time like this, they needed to plan things out. Think with their brains. Keep their emotions in check. Even when their legs were cowering in fear.
Sam and Ashton nodded. Ashton picked Matt as he ran towards the fifth floor. Sam followed from behind.
They have lots of bullets with them. Enough to kill thousands of awakens. But the number of awakens out there. They were countless.
As far as they could see. They only see awakens. Even though some were moving towards other cities.
Dispersing.
But still, many were searching houses and coming towards the Carin city's local mall. Where they were?
They got to the fifth floor. Ashton put Matt down.
"There. We can see everything from there." Matt pointed towards the right corner from where the whole mall could be clearly seen. Especially entrance.
It was a local Mall made of five floors. There were shops on the three sides while at the front there was an entrance. In the middle there were stairs and both sides of the stairs have elevators along with them.
"We need to snipe as many awakens as we can from here. It will be good if we can build a wall with them." Matt whispered as he started placing sniper and laid on the floor.
Sam and Ashton nodded their head. Sam deeply looked at Matt who was without any difficulty giving commands while also taking all the matters in the notice.

Storm of the Elementals
The apocalypse was something that people were expecting to happen sooner or later, rising sea levels and everything. What our protagonist didn't expect was it to be from a system, let alone the fact that he missed it. Waking up as an elemental and being given frighteningly little info from a system that seemed a little off , stuck with 3 other eccentric individuals that he could almost swear are a bit dodgy, and not being quite sure he was human anymore, it was the start of a long day. It only got longer when he found out he was moved to a whole different world. ~ This is a slow burn story, focusing on the world and what happens if an eccentric historian gets transported in a world with systems and power that are not quite meant for him. ~ Some things you can expect: -No harem, god no. -Yes the protagonist is strong, no he isn't completely OP. -Other people who have been changed, he isn't the only special or chosen one who got transported or messed with. -It is sad to actually have to put this here, but the main character does shockingly have common sense.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)
