Hey we will see how this goes since this is my first time writing something like this 🤷♂️ can't wait to see what you guys think 👀
First person pov- Solis
The days are getting old… way too old.
Monsters run the world now after 80% of humans were wiped out. Terrifying growths, all with unnatural traits, leaches that can fly in the sky and attack to your spin to take control of your body to only have you get eaten by a monster so it can reproduce…. Every day is like a fight for survival.
Raiders roam around the streets killing men and taking women and children alike… it's horrible, and to some extent kinda expected, after all the nuclear fallout has had some unexpected effects on human life as well. Granting unnatural abilities to those that weren't instantly vaporized or eaten by the monsters.
Rifts have opened only a year and a half ago, and after all that time people have continued to die while some evolved into mutants, Is what we call it.
People that were forcefully adapted to the environment via radiation and the air itself and its strange energy. Almost like mana you would hear about in fantasy novels or manga but with longer lasting effects and more strange consequences.
Mutants are people what were evolved by the "mana" in the air when it was mixed with the radiation from the nuclear warheads.
Some came out looking normal with unique traits while others were incredibly augmented physically, think of it like developing magic you can't really control or a body that acts like an engine that won't shut off.
My sister was one of those mutants… one that took more of the radiation side of anything. She was big, like overly muscular with tiny green Crystals growing from her skin. Still tho, she was my sister and I helped her the best I could until raiders came. Armed with a hand gun and my sisters gloves we stood ready. What we didn't expect was for there to be two mutant hellhounds. Giant beast standing as 3 feet tall on all fours alone. They kick down the door as I open fire and my sister rushes in to throw a mean right hook at the hell hound. IF I remember correctly, I shot down two before I myself was shot, bleeding I try to lift the gun up before I hear the crys of my sister being gunned down protecting me from those damn hellhounds.
I get off five more shots before I run out of ammo. I start to get reload another mag in before I feel the cold barrel of a gun lined to my head, and from there my memories fade… it's almost been 4 months since then. And I still can't get why someone would do that.
The gloves my sister gave me are still on my hand, their worn, tattered, and old. Still good tho in my eyes.
I have noticed that my chest has a sigil on it, I've since noticed that I can see heat signatures for the monsters and raiders along with a minor passive healing ability.
I've learned about that then I fell from a tree and got cute up pretty badly, all the small cuts healed but the big ones took a bit longer.
I peek over the roof top to check for any signs of monsters, "nothing" I sigh in relief.
I turn to get down from the roof top I head to the ladder and make my way down.
I get of the roof too before jumping down into the dumpster in an open ally, begrudgingly walking through the trash making my way out. I step onto the hard concrete before looking around for my hidden bag. I check to make sure I'm not leaving anything going through a mental list of belongings. Gun, backpack, first aid, 15 protean bars, 4 bottles of water, a spear set of clothing, extra bullets all accounted for.
I take my leave into the open streets of the broken city.
POV Change: 3rd person-
Solis walks down a road armed and cautious, waiting for a treat to pass by. 15m in before the tall building around start to make sounds he doesn't recognize. He darts for the nearest ally way to get cover or hide, he's not really picky on any of those options. He hears a vehicle driving down the road. Loud and taunting. Solis takes out his firearm and hides behind some cover (empty broken wooden pallets) he looks through the little slits and sees three trucks hulling a massive mutated beast. It has a bright heat signature but seemed to be unmoving while Solis counted the 7 people driving the cars with his heat vision.
He slightly gets up and starts to sneak away As he does this tho a thought crosses his mind, but is quickly dismissed as he's sure that their professionals if they're able to hunt that massive mutant.

Solis rushes to get away from the situation not wanting to be involved in anyway shape or form. Handgun still in well.. hand he starts his journey through the back alleys of new York believing they're the safest from people while he can fight off the small monsters by himself.
The over grown mutated plant life ever still confuses him. Solis makes his way to a nearby building before checking his surroundings. He looks up to see a red glow coming from a building maybe 4th floor in it and only 1 from the looks of it. Solis takes a moment to ponder his options. He thinks about upgrading his gun with a chance onto get a bigger one and he finds it enticing, and there's only one from the looks of it so he should be fine.
He starts to make his way to a broken window making sure no glass could hurt him. Once he found one he took the chance and jumped through it glass crunching beneath his feet, Solis looks around again making sure no one was hiding but he soon realized that the man from before was gone.
He took out his firearm ready for a shoot out, or run the moment he saw the first sign of danger really. Until he found him through the celling maybe "2nd floor?" He thought, until he noticed he was rushing down, Solis took that time to up and hide ready to fire the moment the target came into sight.
He watched as the reg figure rushed down the stairs weirdly quiet for some reason. Before it stoped at the last step. Solis could see it moving its head, through the wall he may not be able to see the detail or what not but he could definitely see its motion. It suddenly moved sharply and shot a bullet through the wall. Solis felt a warm liquid fall down his arm, before he quickly covers it, trying his hardest not to scream out in pain and stay hidden for a chance to make it out of there, the gun was In fact not worth it any more.
He pointed his hand gun at the figure before pulling the trigger, his bullet ripping through the wall and hitting flesh tearing it.
Solis heard a yell "AH SH^t" before booking it to the nearest window breaching it with a crash and running into the ally way.
{Ok so I'll try to make every chapter at least 1000 + words maybe higher in the future but for now 1,300 seems ok 👍 }
[I hope that I can continue this and make more stories for whoever ends up reading this in all honesty 🤗]
