episode_0075

There are numerous cities on the continent. And there are as many villages as there are cities.

A small village that exists somewhere in the remote eastern part of the continent. A small village without even a name, created by a group of beastmen, was where Kali was born and raised.

Although they had to hunt, gather, or occasionally trade with passing peddlers to eat food, there was never a day when a shadow fell on the faces of the residents.

Benevolent and wise adults supported the small village, and good children with smiles became growing sprouts and became the hope of the small village.

It was difficult to say that it was a perfect place to live, but it was not an easy life, so I was alive and grateful for all the time I was able to spend with the people in front of me.

“Carly! Come on, you too!”

“Yes. I understand.”

Carly was no different from other children. I was just a timid child who was a little shy and shy. She also never lost her smile and lived with gratitude for every moment.

“Did you have a good time today, Carly? Didn’t anyone bother you?”

“Yes.. it was fun today too.”

“I want to run around and play every day like my sister!”

“Don’t worry, Calea. You will get better soon too. Let’s just wait patiently until then?”

“Ugh… I understand. Sister…”

A loving mother and a father who silently protects the entire family. And although she was born a little weak, she is more precious than anyone else.

Carly was extremely happy every day. There was no greed or ambition whatsoever. I just hope that this happy moment will last forever.

Time passes quickly. No matter how much time passes, the warm feelings that the village had did not disappear. Rather, as each year passed, their relationship grew closer.

“I’m happy.”

Kali has grown up to barely resemble a child. Carly smiles as she pats her sister, who is snoring and sleeping on her lap.

It reminds me of a story that adults told me. In the past, in the distant past, there existed something called God.

It is said that the benevolent and fair god granted protection and granted wishes to all the prisoners who believed in and followed him.

‘I hope this happiness can last forever.’

Now, it was just a legend that even adults didn’t believe in, but Kali clenched her hands and prayed.

I don’t need anything, so I just hope that this peaceful happiness will continue.

However, there was no God in this world.

“Sister… wake up…”

“Ugh…?”

One night. Late at night when everyone was asleep, Kali, who was trying to sleep, woke up rubbing her eyes when she heard Calea’s voice waking her up.

“…Kalea, what’s wrong?”

Calea was sweating coldly and had a look of fear on her face.

Did Calea have a nightmare? Kali quietly hugged Calea. However, despite this, Calea’s rapid heartbeat did not decrease.

“Sister…there was a sound…outside…”

“….Outside? Which…”

-Quaaah!

-Save me… Save me…!

-Run away!!!

A terrible scream begins to be heard beyond the small wooden door. Those voices were ones Carly knew all too well.

The tearful screams of my closest friends. The wailing sound of a woman who always shared food with a smile.

The sound of something collapsing. The sound of flesh being torn, dug up, and eaten.

At the same time, the smell of blood begins to be strong enough to paralyze the nose.

“….Huh?”

Kali froze at the sound and smell that immediately awakened her from her half-asleep state.

Am I having a terrible nightmare? However, the sense of reality I feel convinces me that this situation is not a dream.

“Sister… I’m scared…”

“…Wait a minute, Calea. Just stay here for a moment…”

“Yes…”

Carly stood up quietly. In case even the slightest sound resonates, I carefully get up from my seat and head to the window where I can see the outside of the house.

When Carly reached the bottom of the window frame, she stuck her head out and began to look out the window.

“……..Hi!”

Kali’s eyes are filled with fear. I barely managed to block the scream that was about to escape me with both hands.

The world beyond the window. The village that was always peaceful and warm has become a hell.

The scenery of the village, which was always green, turned bright red. The green blades of grass turn red with the scattered blood.

A wolf monster spewing murderous energy roams the village. An evil howl echoes throughout the village.

Bens. My best friend since childhood is being eaten by a monster. I can no longer feel it happening in his eyes.

Aunt Perrin. The woman who always had a kind smile and shared food with me and my friends let out a terrible scream.

The woman’s left arm had already been torn off and was being chewed by the monster. Soon, the monsters that had been circling the woman rushed at her all at once, and the woman’s screams stopped.

Some of the adults resisted the monster. I tried to fight against the monster with a crude shield and spear, but it was not enough.

Tools that could not withstand the strength of the charging monster were broken, smashed, and became just another prey.

The village chief’s house is on fire after the torch that had been brightly illuminating the village fell. The space where my memories reside is burning down and disappearing.

Grumbling-

Kali’s eyes were already filled with fear. Tears flow endlessly from my eyes.

It looks like the scream is going to explode at any moment, but it is barely blocked by the hands covering the mouth.

Please, tell me it was a nightmare. Wake me up from this terrible dream.

Carly closed her eyes, opened them, beat herself up, and struggled to wake up from the dream. But I never woke up from the dream.

This is because the nightmare more terrifying than the hell unfolding before my eyes was reality.

“Carly!! Calea!! Hurry and get into the underground bunker!! And never come out!!!”

“…Dad…”

“Dad…?”

My father’s voice resonates loudly. My father, who had never been angry or talked loudly, screamed at the top of his voice.

…no. Dad, please come back. Please stay by my side and protect me….

Take me out of this terrible nightmare.

Kali, whose hair had turned completely white, was unable to do anything. I just stood there blankly shedding tears.

“Hurry!! This is my last request!!! Get in right now!!”

“….!”

“I love you…! Daughters!!!”

“Hmm… Hmm…!”

“….Sister, dad…!”

I felt like my heart was going to explode. My father’s screams continued. The sound of flesh being torn and something being eaten is heard.

Carly finally musters up the strength to lift her sister, who is looking at her with tears in her eyes, and opens the door on the living room floor and goes inside.

“Black…Ugh… Calea…”

“Sister….”

Even without saying a word, the sisters just sobbed while hugging each other, knowing very well what each other was feeling.

The house collapses, and the sound of hitting the door of the bunker where the sisters are is echoes.

The howl of a wolf is heard. The footsteps of an animal can be heard directly from above.

I couldn’t even breathe properly, fearing that the sound would escape. They just hugged each other tightly, shaking with fear and shedding tears.

Time that seemed to last forever begins to pass. How many hours have passed?

Before you know it, you can no longer hear the sound of wolves, footsteps, or any other sound. The only sounds that can be heard are the sound of something burning and the cries of crows.

Sigh…

Carly opened the door and went out. I don’t hear any signs of popularity. The monster had already left.

Holding my sister’s hand tightly with trembling hands, I open the tattered door of the house and go out.

“Ugh…Ahh..!!!”

“Wha…!”

At the scene unfolding before their eyes, the sisters sat down and cried. No one alive existed except themselves.

The happy village overflowing with dreams and hopes collapsed overnight and everyone left. Even my neighbors and my beloved family, everyone.

The tears that flowed from my empty eyes showed no signs of stopping, and I couldn’t even think about anything.

All we can do is bury the bodies of those who have passed away in silence and remember them.

Carly looks at her sister crying at the place where all hope was dashed. And I made a promise deep in my heart.

Let’s make my little sister and Calea happy. No matter what the cost, even if it makes me change.

After that, Sister Carly began wandering all over the East. There is nothing left except the body.

Sleeping on the street was the norm, and people ate bugs and other people’s leftover food. It was disgusting, but there was nothing I could do to survive.

“Giggles… Come here. Pretty girls.”

“Because I will make you feel pretty. Stay calm.”

As two women lived without anyone’s help, of course they were attracted to disgusting bugs.

They look at themselves and their sister with eyes so disgusting that it makes them vomit, and their tongues flicker.

It was disgusting to even describe the emotions I felt from them. The younger sister stands behind her and looks at them in horror.

They seem to like it and start laughing even louder.

It wasn’t that Kali wasn’t scary. My heart was pounding and I could have run away in fear.

Kkook-

However, he felt the warmth of his younger sister holding his hand tightly behind him. Carly’s wavering eyes became firm.

They took out the blades as Kali resisted, but perhaps because of the belief that she would protect her sister, Kali’s body began to overflow with strength.

Avoid flying attacks. Aim for the enemy’s blind spot. Hit the weak spot.

As I surrendered myself to the flow that felt like an instinct, before I knew it, the disgusting humans were crawling on the floor, begging for their lives.

Not wanting to kill anyone, Carly held her sister’s hand and tried to leave.

“Uh…Sister!”

“Stay still, you bitch! If you don’t want to see this bastard running around, be quiet…!”

Until he suddenly got up from his seat and looked at the human pointing a knife at his sister’s neck.

As a tear fell from her sister’s eye, Kali’s eyes began to sharpen.

that day. Kali killed her first man.

Tears flowed. I was so scared that I had hurt someone with my own hands.

The feeling of my muscles being torn and my flesh being torn apart was something I couldn’t even get used to and was disgusting.

However, the voice of his younger sister, hugging his body tightly and shedding tears of gratitude, is heard.

that day. Carly promised.

Kill your weak self. He would do anything to protect his sister.

Even if it kills someone, even your own heart.

The day I killed my first person. Kali from before was also buried on the spot.
