The city. The clouds. All red and burning like hell. Mid winter in Ulaanbaatar. Mongolian city. People crying and shouting for help as police and firefighters die helplessly and selfishly.
Monster break. Since few years ago strange portals have been existing all over the world. Some were green, some were yellow and some were red. Today, these portals have opened. Like other manhwas and mangas people thought they could survive this. But oh, how wrong were they. They were helpless to this unimaginable and strong power. They couldn't harmonize with it.
There was few individuals who survived after few years. These people have built their bunker and continued to live on. If you kill a monster from red portal you can harmonize with the power that's seeping from earth and portals. They understood and lived on. Consisted of 24 people with rather young leader at the ripe age of 18. Tall, european man with brown eyes and blonde long hair. Greek nose and soft demeanor. He wears suit almost all the time. His right hand is his twin sister. Almost same but more feminine. Same greek nose but softer. Same brown eyes but more lightened. Almost as tall as him. Mari and Rani. Such use of last or middle name is just waste of time in this time and age.
In the bunker they were having meeting about recruiting new member to their small group. Rani the leader we just mentioned showed few pictures of a psych ward patient. Her mouth was filled with fur and flesh as she kill monsters with her bare hand and mouth. Laughing happily as she dine on uncooked meat of horrid animals and the footage was only these. Black long till chest messy hair with messy bangs. Black eyes with no light. Pale skin with dried lips.
Mari wasn't that fazed "a psycho? Are you being for real?"
Rani nodded "i am."
A woman with bob hair and rather slender figure and Korean look smirked "old man, twins, killer, witches and now you want to recruit a psycho? Does she even follow instructions like dog at least?" Her bame is Yok Lee. Rani simply stared down. Boy in his 16 or so with complete heterochromia. His expression gave no feeling or even thoughts. His name is Petros. "She's fun."
The meeting continued. Some of the members were on missions and some were present. They lastly agreed on recruiting since they needed someone who can kill without pause. All the members hesitated anytime they needed to kill.
Mari was muttering spell to teleport 10 members including herself. Mana potion's empty jars everywhere as she was trying to succeed with more power. From german's mountains to mongolian plains. She needed more than just mana potions but it's all they have for now.
The nine members are Petros, Yok and unintroduced ones beginning with:
Arche- tall man with black hair and simple cut. Black eyes and rather tanned skin.
Limos-Black long hair, straight nose, proud latino with harsh words. Woman in her 30s
Yamato- Japanese adult-teen at the age of 19. Black hair and acts cute but actually a witch class.
*Senior*-senior year highschooler with soft demeanor and curly red hair. Hides her name.
larim-Spanish man in his late 40s that was a peacekeeper officer in South Sudan.
Jayce- American former box athlete. Brunette curly hair and sly smirk. Probably trying to flirt with Mari.
Kayro-A man in his 30s, former accountant in some company currently a tank in battle formation.
They were standing in circle around Mari as she continued to concentrate on the teleportation spell. After forthy minutes Mari fell to ground and the teleportation spell was complete. The members started to disappear one by one. Rani held Mari in his hands. As his brother it still hurt to see her like this.
The members were in Mongolian plains. Highly prohibited to enter because of low population of people and too high population of monsters. People are almost extinct in that area. It has been four years since the apocalypse happened. The Ulaanbaatar city was like a Silent hill's recreation. They couldn't understand if the snow is falling or the ash is falling. Cold winter over the land. Big monster doesn't even look at them and continues to wander around. They felt like ant.
Larim was smoking cigarettes as he held his rifle tightly. His ability can be connected to any manmade weapon including rifle. He can make his weapons strike five times stronger and faster. Kayro and Jayce talking to each other. Kayro holding his shield out and guards on. Jayce with his enhanced boxing gloves. Senior helping Yamato since her eyesight is not that great at daylight. Arche, Limos, Petros and Yok walking at front all using mana detection spell.
Yok-"how are we supposed to find someone from here?" *she said with bit frustrated tone. Petros was silent and just using his *detective eyes* skill to look around. They continued for hours. Finally finding stable house to spend the night in. It was two story house with it's toilet outside as a hole… literal hole.
Jayce-"i'm not shittibg in that hole…"
Limos-"well I don't care. Shit outside then"
Yamato-"ahh~ the ghosts are so… loud." Yamato was whining about the ghosts, which others didn't see. But they know Yamato's skill is related to underworld and borrowing power from ancestors they didn't mind at all. Arche was the one who came the latest so they don't know much about him. He was standing by a window. Standing on guard for the night.
At 3 in the morning they heard door open. Arche couldn't move as he didn't even sense anything. Others woke up immediately. Some wore their clothes while the ones that didn't strip before bed stood up and held their weapons.
Black void of person's silhouette. Spiky hair and short tee girl's. Black void of eyes and bright whites of eyes can be distinguished. Walking so smooth like ghost. No shadow or light hitting. Like black hole.
Yamato said trembling "that's no ghost…"
Everyone's guard was over the roof. The tension was so hard that they could hear each other's breath.
"9" just single word and the silhouette sat down on wooden box.
Larim held his gun to the silhouette's head. Chuckle so cold yet soft emerged from the silhouette. The black void like appearance was just a shell. It broke down like glass. Revealing a girl wearing white button down and black baggy jeans. Pale skin and same black eyes with no light of life.
"It's been while since i took on visitors. Enjoy UB." *short for Ulaanbaatar, mongolian capital city.* "my name is Nara." Limos took out the paper of the recruiter's info that she took from Rani. Limos said with bit of calmness "the recruit we're looking for is her" they immediately all stared at Nara.
"A recruit? Did people already developed organizations?"
