chapter 3: stone world

||~おはよう 世界 good morning world~||

*3700 years later*

*Cracks*

Huh?... What happened?

Something just cracking. I can hear it out loud. But it was all pitch black. I can't move. Am I dead?

*Cracks*

It came from the layer of stones that broke apart from her left eyes, revealing her eyesight back. Everything was blurry but slowly turned back to normal. The first thing she saw was big green leaves hanging from the tree above her, swaying slowly in freedom by the smooth wind. As if it was waving and saying hello for the person who just woke up to the new world.

'what?'

Wiggling her shoulders and feets, drastically the fragments fall apart like chocolate chip cookies crushed by the violent hand. She was finally free, to the new dystopia earth.

Jihyo scanned around, she was in the middle of the gargantuan forests full with massive trees and wild animals. The sound of cricket chirping with rustling bushes everywhere, she was still unaware of the nudity state she was in right now.

"Where am I?"

Feeling the cold breeze around her body, as the tiny grass tickling her bare naked ass while she was sitting on it, the leader finally realized she was unclothed. Fully exposed, from the top to the bottom.

"What the fuck?!"

She looked upon her left, there was a small container entirely made of clay. A claypot crafted and shaped by hand into a water bottle. There was a fluid dripping from the bottle's mouth with some kind of acidic smell. It was sharp and harsh and unpleasantly to the nose. Just before she knew it, the smell had actually come from her body.

The rock was all over her, now crushed and splattered everywhere. She was naked and alone in the jungle, bathed by this weird acidic liquor with the mysterious bottle laying beside her. Everything didn't make sense to her head. Did she get drunk, or get drugged? Did somebody rape her? And throwing acid to her? Or maybe kidnapped her and threw her body inside the forest? Also why is she enveloped with a rock, like an Egyptian mummy? Thousands of questions but not even a single answer she could confirm.

"Oh my god~"

Jihyo massaged her forehead, but something caught her finger. There was a crack on her face, long from the top of the hair across on her right cheek and ended at her top lip. Like a crack on the rock surface, no furious bleeding or any explicit scar. She tried so hard to rub it off but nothing worked.

"W- what is this?"

She tried to get up, her legs were shaking  like crazy for a few seconds before she could properly walk like a normal human being.

Suddenly, a bushes near her swishing furiously before reveal a tall masculine boy with brown hair, kinda brawny, typically not the intelligent type one. Wearing some kind of a DIY leather outfit, the boy got the same crack as her but only on his left forehead. He was surprised when their eyes met unintentionally.

Jihyo quickly dropped to the ground, trying so hard to cover her entire body with her slender hand. Her face was bright red like a tomato.

"S-Senku, I think I found where we lost the revival fluid." stuttered the boy, frozen to his place.

Another human being came to her sight, walking leisurely from the same path the previous boy had come by. This time with a green grayish hair, skinny, slightly shorter than the other one. His face was malevolent and but not devilish, more to a savagery side. Had cracks on both of his eyes, on his clothing there was written E=MC². Oh great, why did it have to be another male.
