Ark Morgan

  18 years old. Male. Height 174 cm. Black hair. Blue eyes. Hometown is Texas. Decided to continue studies at A&M. The reason for deciding to come study here was because of an interest in vertical agriculture.

  That was my history 5 years ago. Just an 18-year-old boy who left home to study because of an interest in vertical agriculture.

  Although my family didn't really support it much, but even so, I still decided to come study here. Along with a few things. That is, a suitcase with clothes, a little money, and the motorcycle my dad bought when I was a kid.

  I won't say that it was easy having to live in an unfamiliar area all alone like this. Because after arriving, I had to go to class. After finishing class, I had to go to work with the bike dad bought.

  Since home had a condition. That is, if I decided to come study here, I would have to earn money to support myself. As for tuition, mom and dad would be the ones to pay.

  Which I agreed to. And throughout the 1 month of being here, it started to let me adjust. Finish studying, go back to the dorm, change clothes, go out to work. Doing this on repeat every day.

  If asked if it was hard, it wasn't hard or anything. Except for the gas money which was quite something. As for studies, it went well. And started to have friends, 2-3 people.

  Life seemed to be peaceful. Nothing changed. The world was still peaceful. The city was still normal. And there were calls to family every week.

  But who would have thought that that peace would not last long. Because on the 11th of September. While I was going to deliver goods during late evening.

  The world fell silent. Many people on the roadside looked up at the sky. That made me, who walked out of a pizza shop, find others standing pointing fingers at the sky amidst skyscrapers.

  It made me look up. And the image that appeared in my sight was the sky separating along with cracks like glass about to shatter.

  And then, a sound like breaking glass rang out loudly from the sky. Along with fragments like clear white glass falling from the sky. Revealing a red sky on the other side that contrasted with the sky in the late evening.

  And after that, what happened? Well… everyone could probably guess. Monsters invaded.

  At that time, I couldn't really remember what happened. But what I remember is, the surroundings were full of screams. Many people were fleeing death. While I drove the bike escaping along the road heading back to the dorm.

  That is the story I remember during the event. The world that used to be peaceful. The world that used to be friendly. And the world that used to be hope. Became the land of monsters from that day onwards.

  The sound of wind rushing past both ears while driving along the road. Along with the vibration of the engine sending through both hands controlling the bike and the body sitting on the bike.

  Making Ark, who was staring forward amidst the ruins of buildings on both sides, look around. While the wind hit his face and body.

  Making him, who moved his eyes to stare at the front which was a left-right intersection, ease off the throttle. Resulting in the bike that was running along the road full of many cracks slowing down until it stopped still.

  When turning to look left, found a road slanting out to the side heading upwards along with buildings on 2 sides. So making him look the other way. And found the road on the right was hardly different from the left at all. Which that made him, who was looking for a while, turn back to look at the building in front that was like a point dividing both roads.

  The silence without sound. Except for the sound of the vehicle engine vibrating under his body. Made him let go of the hand holding the throttle and raise his right hand to look. Before using the left hand to pull the sleeve down a little. Revealing a black square watch that looked like it was made from plastic. With the clock hands now pointing at 2:09 pm.

  He who saw that lowered his head and looked straight at the small black square bag tied to the frame on the left. Making him reach his left hand in to open the bag. Before picking up a gray walkie-talkie and pulling the antenna out fully. Before tuning the signal wave.

  Resulting in the static sound coming from the walkie-talkie disappearing not long after. Along with him pressing the button and speaking up.

  "Got the item."

  The sound of releasing the button rang out. Not long after, a sound rang out from the radio.

  If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

  "Got it already? Then bring the item to deliver as we agreed. I am waiting to receive the item."

  I pressed the button to speak and brought the radio close to my mouth.

  "No. Come meet me at Road 14 at the intersection in the middle of the buildings. I will make a mark."

  Ending the speech, I released the button. That made the voice on that side ring out immediately.

  "Are you going to renege...?!"

  The antenna was stored into the device. Before the walkie-talkie was stored beside the bike. Along with me looking up at the building in the middle and revving the engine. Resulting in the bike moving forward before turning right not long after.

  On the other side of the radio that was cut off until a static sound appeared without finishing the sentence. The radio in the hand that was quite large was crushed into pieces within the blink of an eye!

  "What should we do, Boss?"

  The voice of a woman with short black hair in a black suit. Ringing from behind. It made the man, 2 meters tall in front of her who was bald, who had a muscular body and was in a black suit. By which he, right now, was staring to the front. Revealing the outside of the building full of many buildings. It made him take a deep breath. Along with his chest puffing up a little.

  When the sound of a heavy sigh rang out. It made him turn back to that woman.

  "Order the forces to move to Road 14. And if you find him. Take his head."

  Ending the speech, he walked past that woman. Thus making her, who heard that, speak up.

  "Received."

  "Good."

  When hearing his response. It made her turn back to look. And found him walking to a black limousine. With a young man in a suit currently standing opening the door for him. When he entered inside along with the door closing. It made the car drive out to the descent. Thus making her, who saw that, turn to nod to that young man. Which that made him nod and pick up a walkie-talkie immediately.

  On the side of Ark who used his left hand to pull his right sleeve down. And looked at the inner wrist. Revealing a black square watch along with clock hands pointing at the number 2:21 PM.

  Thus making him, who saw that, look up. Looking through the window to the outside. By which his eyes were staring at a building nearly 200 meters away. By looking down to the bottom of the building that was marked. Since he was now on the 4th floor. Thus making him, seeing that below at the door no one had appeared yet. And around seemed to have no one either.

  Both his eyes narrowed slightly along with him looking down at the watch again. When seeing the time move from 21 to 22. It made him turn to look at the right hand side. And found the motorcycle parked in front of the exit from the room.

  So making him, who saw that, turn back to focus on the glass and use the right hand to reach into the inner jacket. Before picking something out that was a square block. Which was covered with white paper.

  When those papers were unwrapped. It revealed a brown meat bar. Before he lifted it up and ate slowly. Along with eyes staring at the front of the appointed building.

  The sound of chewing dry meat ringing continuously until the meat in the hand was gone. It made him keep the paper scrap in the shirt pocket.

  At that moment. He turned to look at a building about 400 meters away from the building he marked.

  Resulting in him pressing closer to the wall while staring there by popping his head out only half.

  At that moment. A reflection from that building appeared for a flash like a reflection of glass. Thus making him hurry to pull himself inside immediately.

  Then slowly bending down slowly before using the left hand to pull binoculars from the back waist up and looking at that building.

  The image appearing in front was the image of a man standing at the edge of the building. Along with a sniper rifle that seemed to be aiming down at the road. Thus making him, who saw that, lower the binoculars to the road.

  The image of a 4-wheeled vehicle similar to a Suzuki running on the road heading to the middle building as appointed. It made him put the binoculars down and sit looking for a while.

  Before backing away from the wall and turning to look at the bike. Which that made him, who was sitting crouching looking at the bike, turn back to look at the window a little. Before turning back to the bike and hurrying to walk to get on the bike.

  After sitting on the bike, it made him turn back to open the bag on the right side and stuff the binoculars down. Before closing the bag completely and turning to twist the car key.

  Ark who bent down to use the left hand to pick up the walkie-talkie and pull the antenna out along with adjusting the signal. Taking not long. He found the signal sound along with a voice ringing up.

  "We have arrived at the destination. Where are you?"

  I who looked straight ahead revealing a wooden board placed on the edge of the building as a ramp up. By which the other side revealed a building about 20 meters away. It made me press the radio and speak up.

  "I like your sniper."

  The hand holding the button was released along with the radio being stored in the bag followed by starting the bike. Resulting in the engine causing vibration immediately!

  That made me grip the front brake along with twisting the throttle. Resulting in the sound of wheels grinding the floor. By which the back of the bike swayed back and forth.

  Making me release the brake along with the bike shooting out! While I bent low. And in that very second that the bike rushed up the wooden plank.

  It made me pull myself along with the bike up! Resulting in the bike shooting into the sky while sunlight shone down hitting my body floating in mid-air by which below revealed a 4-lane road.

  Which that made me, who looked straight at the opposite building, use the left hand to press 2 red buttons located slightly deep inside the handle.

  And in that very second! The sides of the bike on both sides lower than where the radio was put, which was a square steel box sticking out a little. Had steel rods similar to spears along with sling lines shooting out!

  That made the bike slowly reduce altitude along with the sling lines rushing into the building. It made me use the right foot to kick the gear up immediately.

  And in that very second, the sling lines went taut immediately! Along with the bike that was reducing altitude stopping abruptly while the front of the bike was pulled upwards suddenly resulting in the bike body shooting upwards immediately!

  Along with my body appearing on top of the building in the state that the bike was yanked! But even though it was like that! The bike slammed onto the floor and sent a vibrating sound all over! Along with steel scraping the floor until sparks appeared!

  But even though it was so! The bike still rushed forward while the sling lines were pulled back

  inside the bike along with me twisting the throttle continuously!
