The year 2020 was the start of mankind's extinction and evolution.

This is the start of the end.

2020 May 17 time 9:36 AM

The school ordered immediate evacuation of students. Every children crying for their loss.

They finally put our emotional state to test by killing each of the students parents in front of them and if they were going to spare them they'd throw them out of the school where the "things" are.

Why would I care I was an orphan the only reason I survived through everything was..... It was a horrid memory that's all.

Everything is red, everyone panicking, the smell of fear and despair mixed through the atmosphere. Every child mourning for the unexpected turn of events. It was clear that they tried to process everything that was happening. They had lost their freedom, their family and now the world is becoming a living hell itself.

Some people blamed the scientist, some said we were damned by god. I myself have my own opinion on why? We deserved it that's why.

We labeled our own people when we were one race. We killed for our own needs, some for their own satisfaction. I can't say I'm so innocent, no one is even if you were a priest you have made sins, you just have a lesser chance to actually have one. Some of us are good people this is not only applying to this world of fiction but yours also I'm talking about you, you the reader, even a good person has made a sin they just haven't noticed or it was something minor that it wasn't to be noticed.

I walked around seeing the horror around me, it was hard to say that I wasn't scared why wouldn't I be.

Soldiers were carrying crates of some sort, the crates had labels I couldn't quite see it but I was clear on one thing and that was the crate labeled 
"Private documents".

I got too curious so i followed the soldiers to where they put the crates.
Curiosity killed the cat I'm next I can promise that. Once the soldiers had left I went near and nearer and by the time I was sure no one was left I took a look on the crate. I didn't believe what I saw on the first crate, it was filled with weapons
AS50 Accuracy international, Heckler-Koch HK MG4 MG43 Machine Gun, F-2000 Assault rifle's,  XM307 ACSW advanced heavy machine guns. With my basic knowledge of guns I was able to identify some while others looked newly produced. On the next crate minerals And chemicals I tried not to go any further to prevent getting harmed by it, i was able to identify one particular chemical that caught my attention...... Cyanide.

I started to get suspicious about this, how would a school be so well prepared for an apocalypse. It was too well planned, everyone was too busy crying over their loss to notice that.

I searched for more stuff on the crates, all I found was more food, ammo and medicine. I moved on to another crate but before I could start a syringe rolled and stopped at my sights.

I took a look at the syringe and it's weird blue goo, it had a label on it saying
"Project Upgrade." I dropped the syringe when I heard foot steps and soldiers murmuring I ran to the back As fast as I possibly could.

"The principal sure is fucked up, what is he thinking."

"Shush... Shut the hell up we might get in trouble if someone hears."

It's as if the school knew this would happen.

The voices of the soldiers slowly fading.

I walked away from the wall and searched for the exit sign.

I walked through the red lights and the steel walls I couldn't retrace my steps until I saw the exit sign I dashed through the door and there I heard once again the screams and cries of children.

I was able to not get caught and maybe get killed. Everyone was taking shots from the syringe that I had seen a while ago.

Before I could do anything a soldier grabbed me by the arm and put me to a chair, I was scared, I wasn't only scared but confused.

The soldier took the syringe that I had seen before and POOF! Everything went black.

That was 5 years ago......

5 years later...2025 April 19.

After 5 years we were locked out from the world, no direct contact at all.

We were safe, ever since the syringe everyone and their talents has been upgraded their brain evolved, I don't think
Talent is the right word but
I guess we could call it a "Harnessed Ability" people gained amazing speed, strength and intellect, people in the school are given a classification for their abilities well it's kinda
Latin and all but you'll understand it with a translator good luck
The syringe that was injected into us was kinda similar to what I had gone through before......

The classification were
1.Viribus
2.Celeritas
3.intellectus
4.Accommodare

Every classification has their own leaderboard ugh! I hate that word, well I'm ranked
Last why do I care, anyways I'll be explaining the system here, there is something called "troop" you will be assigned there as a troop, basically no troop wants me so I'm just a single individual, there is also something called a
"Strike Team" there are only three of them, only the best can join, only people with actual potential, me I'd never be able to get there
I'm happy where I am I already had shit that happened to me before.......
But that's for another story.

Technically what a strike team does are missions like expansion
Supplies
Survivors
So you can call them the survey corps of this time, I know, I know why mention that in a time like this well I'm interested in retro anime
It was one of the things that kept me from losing my sanity.

Lunch was going to start but the speakers started cracking sounds and finally an announcement. We- haven't had that in a week
Everyone was worried if there was a problem of some sort.

I heard two people talking i didn't know their names but I did hear the conversation

"No matter the problem I'm sure it won't affect us greatly just have faith."

I didn't think there was still faith nor mercy in this world.

"Yeah you're right it won't be a problem at all"
I've always hated positive people I didn't get them. No matter how positive you are you can still be broken, no matter who you are.

I was a negative person
Why would you care?
If a person see's that you have a problem they notice you but when you don't they leave you to rot of loneliness
In fact people only see you're mistakes but not you're pain, Reader tell me the truth would you actually do something as fake as that.

Everyone started to gather where the flag ceremony was usually held, there we saw him, the one that shut away the world from us and left their parents, I can't say our if I never had any.

people Were furious, some were grateful, I am amongst the people that didn't actually care.

I started to hear something interesting
" Hey that guy, he has some nerve to show up."

I agreed with him after what he did we couldn't just let him off easy

"Yeah, you think its something serious"

He started to go up to the stage everyone had a chill mixed with anger
I liked the feeling, I never had proper satisfaction to my usual emotions.

I grinned as he went to the stage, he gave a sinister smile to everyone.
