Below a bright scorching sun there is a man plowing his field to make himself sufficient life dream come true
His name is len a 26 years old guy as
He happily humming a song like he doesn't care what happen in the world anymore
"To think my 8 years hard work pay off, after fully committed doing my main job while doing part time when i was young was worth it!"
While done preparing the new seeds to grow, he take a rest on a chair below the tree shade looking at his own property he bought and build himself
A automatic water pipe system giving the plant water and nutrients from a small fish farm he built as he feels so blessed at the moment
Len remember he fail multiple time buildings these system because he used to work at office job without much physical work, using his young body to take multiple side job at that, sacrificing his teenage years after graduation from school
With the money he gather to learn as much as possible how to survive by his own watching and learning from online sources
A small farm, a fish, some chicken and a solar panel build by himself while still have access to to internet, even in small rural places
He can brag all of this later to his friend
About escaping from modern slavery that exist today
Now with a current system that he build himself it was self reliable, no boss bossing around and no critic about his works
'If thing broke down i can fix it myself, there is no lack information in internet anyway'
A true free life
'I woke up when i want and work when i wanted, but still crop mist grow!, animal needed to be feed and wasted need to be recycled'
And of course he doesn't need to pay tax considering len mostly using public transport and have less income that needed to pay annually
Still there is small tax when buying groceries or any stuff online
This place is quite far but well doesn't matter i can just grab my electric bike to nearby small town and grab the stuff i needed it's free anyway because i got as many free electricity i want from solar panel and you don't need pay tax with small electric bike!
If something heavy i can just ask help from the truck guy that lives around here barter with some stuff i grow
'Haaa, to think people in rural places soo welcoming, unlike in the city most people are to individualists, you dont even know if your neighbors is dead rotting'
Thinking about that give me shiver!
Len let out a deep sigh
'Thank god, i escaped those crazy life of slavery, i feel the most lucky man alive!'
But there is no much thing he can share and celebrate considering he's just an orphan
A friend? but mostly his friend are online and in different country
Maybe visiting them would be a good surprised but man he hate traveling
So much especially the traffic jam and planes cost is expensive!
I rather live like hermit
Maybe visit local orphanage and gift them my harvest as celebration
After a while fantasizing his future len started to think about his old orphanage that he came from, sadly it's gone because massive tsunami disaster, it was quite devastating news when he still working at the office as he usually send some of his income to support it
The decorations sended by thise orphans keep my motivation high as len decorating his own room with some kids scribbles and stuff they build for him as gratitude
Well its life, something can happen
It's natural disasters nobody can predict especially in slow response from these corrupt officials
Might as well move on and hope they live happily in heaven
After this project of mine grow maybe i can do some small business and give some people a job, there is alot of stuff you can do in this age especially with internet
Taking some freelance job outside the country with much better currency power is not bad idea
"If there is a will there is a way!"
As len scream proudly while standing
But out of nowhere a streak of lightning directly zapped him
Are you fucking serious?!
As he feels his body dreaming and lingering regret of how do i face god he worships
"is my good deeds enough…"
But then
Len woke up in the vast darkness trying to figure what the hell is going out, instinctively every time he woke up always checking his phone but he didn't find anything on his pocket
Feeling so weird with his current situation
Then len notice something far from his view
A dark creature shrouded in darkness manifest from far away slowly moving toward len, it move closer faster and faster.
as
Len trying to focus to identify the creature A sudden light so bright it cast those creatures away as he keep thinking with what just happen more and more he start lose consciousness then wake up feeling soo weak.
Len trying to stand up but he feel like his body was soo weak, his breathing is hoarse and he started to smell something burning.
'I am alive?'
For a while his gaze trying to focus and capture the scene under the dark nights fill with fog and then something jumping straight at him. Then, strangely, his hand began to move soo swiftly to cut the weak spot of the creature and finish it by slashing off the head his saber.
A sudden jolt of weakness and len began to kneel, exhausted. His ears started hearing a lot of screaming and gunfire before he registered the situation more.
The stunned len suddenly feels soo much pain in his body then a voice shouts nearby
"***************!"
A soldier wearing a medical uniform rushed into len and in shock said, "Holy shit ?!" While checking his condition, a person approaching him
"*************"
Len notice his body move by itself out of instinct trying to let go the sword but still grip it tightly and lower it down.
The medic person checking len condition while len look around more and notice
There is like 16 strange creatures lying dead around Len's body.
len unconsciously spoke the word " where I am?"
Stunned by the random question, the medic ask " ***************"
'huh, what's going on? Why can't I understand what he say at all? What language is this?!'
Never hear this one before maybe he understood English? It's known to be national language that people use
"Excuse me sir, where i am and who are you?, and what is these creature?!" While pointing these abomination
"******"
'Yep i am cook'
the medic like guy just stood up, gave a salute, and said some gibberish to me which doesn't help with my current situation at all!
