There was a glory in the past, a glory that would save everyone no matter the disaster. But suddenly one day, the glory had vanished through the wind. Through the destiny without the glory, the world had been miserable yet grateful for fighting the disasters for them all.
They have done everything to fight such upcomin' disasters before. But now, the more the time goes on, the more creative humans can get to make new inventions.
Nowadays, everyone would talk peacefully and support each other when in a dangerous situation. They have invented so many technologies and brands, they could actually go on their day without any problems unless there are disasters.
The current temperature is great and average as usual. The air condition is freshly cold and comfortable to feel. And water from the ocean is being placed in a factory where it could stay clean before sending it to places.
It is no wonder if they can have a merry smile on their face. Everyone would love to live in a world like this, don't they?

[Current Time: 8:09A.M.]
—It is raining, people are walking on the streets while bringing an umbrella with them to avoid getting wet. In the view, some people are walking towards some restaurants, bakeries and stores. Some people are walking back home. In such a place, there was a certain person…
"Excuse me, I'd like to buy these."
I stood in front of a counter in a store, placing two items being winter clothes and a black backpack on the counter. I spoke in a cold yet soft tone.
"Ah—yes, wait a second.."
The cashier responded, the way she responded seemed as if she was nervous. She quickly dragged the items to scan it and then replied again with
"It will be 24 bucks"
I then handed some bucks to her after hearing her words. She stared at my coins before taking it.
There I went out of the store, with the scenery starting to feel uneasy as the rain continued to flow down the sky.
It was unsettling to just stand there and watch the rain continue. I wanted to move right now but I couldn't. It felt as if something was grabbing him tightly from the legs, so I stood there. Watching the people around him starts to feel the same thing as how I feel.
[ 1# Scenario - Death ]
A blue panel had suddenly appeared In front of everyone before it disappeared with another blue panel floating on the sky with a 1 minute timedown.
Everyone was scared to move and the crowd stayed silent, they didn't dare to move a single inch of their feet. Some were about to tear up from scareness.
"Is this a type of disaster trying to play a game with us?"
I wondered, staring at the people around him. Until, I had heard someone got shot from the head and everyone started screaming and trying to get away from the area except for a female child and a pregnant woman.
There were… 30 seconds left, most of the people in the crowd were dead. The pregnant woman silently stared at me with tears slowly swallowing in her eyes.
Her eyes were full of desperation to live for her baby. While the female child was staying still while looking down on the ground, she was about to tear up just like the others too but she held on.
"18 seconds left… Ugh.. This is really a disaster…"
I thought, gripping on his items tightly. Accepting the fate of this new life journey.
"How long will this stay?"
I wondered, staring at both the pregnant woman and the female child. A few seconds later, the rain started to stop and the sky was almost coming back with sunshine and rainbows.
3…2… 1.
We didn't trust the time whether it was true or not, so we stayed still until a blue panel finally showed up in front of us.
…
[ 1# Scenario have completed ! ]
Reward: 500 coins
Each one of us was given 500 coins for completing the first scenario. We were relieved, the pregnant woman was still scared as before. She held the female child's hand tightly, looking at her with a worried expression on her face.
"Oh my dear! Are you okay, young girl?"
The female child didn't quite react to her question and answered with a nod.
"I'm more worried about you, ma'am."
"Why is that?"
The female child stayed silent for a moment before answering with,
"It is because you're pregnant"
"Ahaha... That's really mindful of you, dear. But you should focus on yourself more, okay?"
I watched them talking for a second before I stuff my items in the bag pack that I have bought earlier
The female child nodded as an answer to her response before turning to me and pointed at me.
The pregnant woman looked at the direction she was pointing at and she was confused about what I had to do with her. She turned back to the female child and asked,
"What's wrong with him?"
"Let's go towards him"
"Oh, okay.."
She replied before holding on the female child's hand, she walked towards me and the female child suddenly asked,
"sir, what's your name?"
