Chapter 2: Sure hope to stumble on a gate one of these days
Seven years later...
"And so, we thank these heroes who rose to the occasion Seven years ago and gave humanity a glimmer of hope." The newscaster broadcast the news on the TV with a hearty smile, and Alice twisted her lips.
Alice, once the young girl who became an orphan at the beginning of the monster apocalypse, stood in front of a television store and watched the news.
It had been Seven years since that happened
"And now, we invite S-class awakened-"
Alice blocked her ear with her airpods and walked away, her hands tucked in her sweater.
It was the same thing every day. It was always speaking about the 'awakened' like they were gods. If they were so big of a deal, why were they still letting monsters roam around?
Yes, even when they went on 'raids' regularly, they still couldn't stop monsters from spewing out of gates, which spawned out of nowhere.
It was as if, the more monsters they took care of, the more monsters were created. Twice the size and twice the amount, to take care of the opposing and stubborn humans.
But now, it wasn't just the monsters who were 'monsters', humanity, which was supposed to be saved by these awakened was being destroyed by the same awakeneds, becoming 'monsters' of their own kind.
The kind of monsters that preyed on and devoured the weak and defenseless.
