Monster Apocalypse

1: Awakening

<This is a story before we got smarter... and became equally confused. Mysteries were solved, but only with more puzzles. The incident ended, and a huge aftermath.>

<A story... about becoming more human... and learning more about mankind. Detours, stops along the way.>

<Foolishness, we now know they were all necessary for creation. The answer was always there, was always there. The answer was the world itself. The answers were in the questions. The story had already begun. With a fixed conclusion, if the past can be changed... the present is a changed future. I knew everything, but I didn't know what it all meant.>

<It took a long time to get where we are, but everything was completely necessary. All to understand, what had happened until now, and this is how the story of how mankind's extinction starts.>

It was like any everyday summer night in the city of Fuji. A summer festival that was booming even more than ever, especially with it now finally safe to come back out. The number of people attending hadn't been as high as it was now in over two decades.

"The boss wants us to check what?" Shun asked as he pulled his eyes away from his phone and up to Yuya. Yuya looked back down to him, "You heard me, that western styled house. You know the place that overlooks the road that leads to Tokyo." Shun shook his head and put his phone away before the two started for their parked truck, Shun tossing the keys to Yuya, "Apparently there's been some unknown activity in there and now we have to check it out."

"Come on, it's been abandoned since 2016, it's probably just some homeless drunk living there."

"Probably. I mean, people have seen lights turning on and off, and noises coming from inside, but when police went to investigate, there was no one inside. The place looked like it hadn't been touched in a long time. Adding to it, it hasn't had power in the last six or seven years." Yuya explained.

"That then caused ghost stories to circulate around the place, right? Like ghosts, suicide victims and the sort. Frankly, Yuya, I don't believe it unless I can see it with my own eyes. One way or another, science will always have the explanation we need."

"Shun, always the skeptic."

After driving for about five minutes, Yuya stopped the truck at the side of the road, seeing the abandoned house up a hill. The two then started for the house. Shun Kojima was a fair skinned 24 year old male with messy blonde dyed hair and brown eyes. While Yuya Kamina was a much taller male. Equally fair skin, 27 years old, brown hair tied in a small ponytail and brown eyes.

Eventually, the two arrived at the front door of the large house. As heard about and told of, the house appeared to have been long abandoned, even the locks on the doors and windows were slowly gaining rust, a sign they had hardly been used. Failing the test of time. With how weak and rusted they were, Shun and Yuya had no trouble breaking them. Yuya kicking the locks until breaking and gaining access to the house.

Coming into the main room, they turned on the flashlights from their phones, giving the two much needed light. Looking around the room, they saw it was indeed trashed, shelves pulled to the ground, desks and nightstands even toppled over and appeared to have been raided. Even having thick layers of dust on what little remained, "The place was renovated long after the original owner left the place." Shun said.

"People reported that he was spouting nonsense about monsters and different dimensions. Everyone believed he was just crazy, then he just straight up disappeared on everyone."
