Chapter 1: Dawn Breakers
Bang! Bang! Bang! — — — — — Boooooom!
"I told you all, we shouldn’t have provoked that monster, but none of you listened to me!" A man shouted in a panicked voice as he ran, ignoring the sound of gunshots and explosions behind him.
"N-no one thought he would be able to find us even in such a distant place," Another short man, running beside him, justified as he tried to outrun his companion.
Bang!
Another loud gunshot echoed, and a bullet passed by the ear of the first man, narrowly missing his head.
The man screamed in panic and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, just then, the exit of the building finally came into view. As long as he could get outside, he still had a chance of escaping.
The shorter man beside him also showed a glimmer of hope in his eyes as he gritted his teeth, desperate to grab the last straw of survival.
Both of them thought the one chasing them would try to stop them before they could reach the door. But to their surprise, no one stopped them—not until they reached the exit, opened the door, and finally stepped out of the building.
Their eyes lit up with hope as they spotted a car parked a short distance away.
They were just about to move toward it when suddenly, a cold gust of wind swept past their bodies, followed by a sharp, stinging pain that engulfed them.
"Arghhhh!!!"
Two agonizing screams rang out in unison as the hands and feet of both men were cleanly severed by an unseen force.
