Inner Manstein City, Federal Republic of Terra
"What a waste of fucking time!" A young man complain as he angrily walks out from a computer store 'Those goddamn miners!', to understand of one's outburst, one must understand the cause of such behavior
[5 Minutes Earlier]
"What do you mean you're out of stock!? I already pre ordered several days ago!" A young man with a black hair in a crewcut, black sleeveless shirt and jeans with a same color complained "We understand your frustrations sir but unfortunately several people ahead of you pre-ordered dozens of ZTX 6090 and our policy heavily enforced the 'first come first serve' policy but let me assure sir that our store already working together with several GPU manufacturers in order to address this issue" an middle age woman calmly explained, as much as the young man wanted to vent more frustration upon the lady and this store there's nothing he could so he left the store
[Present]
As he left, he also saw several people who his frustrated as same as him some even punching a wall or crying laying on the ground but also just like him they can't do anything about the issue '(Heavy sigh)....I better get moving or gets the old man with gutted me like a fish' with nothing to do, he ride a bus that goes towards the outskirt of Inner Manstein City
Inner Manstein City is the capital of the Federal Republic of Terra also formerly known as Terran Empire before the "Great Revolution" happened that executed the emperor and his family along with the entire noble's together with their families as well in a firing line, despite this horrendous act that make warlonds in the east of the continent blush in embarrassment the international judicial court didn't intervene nor condemned such an act
The city houses 5 million citizens but despite its large population, the government manage to address the needs of it's people such as food, clean water, highest quality of education and homes thanks to it's robust and stupidly harsh anti corruption policy and punishment, but unfortunately the government style focuses in utilitarianism that's why 90% to 92% of the building are same or have great similarities with each other in order to save tax money and the rest are privately owned
As the bus continues to rode in a great plains towards the outskirt in where his father is waiting for him, he notice something something strange in a distant 'Huh what the hell is that? Am i still sleepy?' to investigate further he gets his phone, using the camera feature and zoom max, what he's seeing in like a blueish light that slowly making a circle that probably measure approximately 500m to 1KM in size and height 'Why I am suddenly feeling unease' his primordial human extinct screaming to him like some Karen in a neighborhood, then all the sudden a bright white embraced the surrounding area "Wh....." before he can saying anything the bus dives in a ditch and crashes
[30 Minutes Later]
Pain, all he could feel is pain, but through sheer willpower he slowly opens his eyes "Shit" he murmur on his low voice as he witness several bodies scattered in inside the bus and some are thrownout due to the impact of the collision, then smell's the diesel that are pouring out and also a stark of fire are now starting to get bigger 'I need to get out now!', slowly but surely he crawls towards the broken glass panel 'Arrrgh! Fuck this is fucking the worse!' gritted his teeth as he crawls, the fire now getting bigger in a rapid rate 'I need to go faster!' he pushes himself to the absolute limit of his injured body to safety "Pain in temporary, Death is absolute" he repeatly said those words until he escaped
The moment he escaped the fire covered almost the entire bus and burning along with the bodies of the dead and it's remains, several meters later he collapse due to over exhaustion of body and mind

Diego Grand Shooting Range, Outskirt of Inner Manstein City, Federal Republic of Terra
"Where's that stupid brat!?" an middle age man with black hair and brown eyes stomping his feet as he waits in the bus stop, wearing a black shirt with long sleeve and a blue denim jeans and finally a baseball cap " I swear if I...." As he swearing his phone vibrates so he reaches on his left pocket and nearly dropped his expensive phone as he read the message "DadneedhelpGPSon"
[Alex Blackburn POV]
"I can't even hold my phone" laments Alex as he leans on the tree and hope's his father can understood his message,the he checks himself if he sustain any kinds of injuries and what kind of degree 'the good news is I don't have factures or bleeding but unfortunately almost all of my body are covered with bruise's' he thought to himself
'Luckily the worst has come to passed, there's nothing to worried about (sigh).....wait did I jinxed myself!?' true to his words has he looks to the horizons on where he found the blush light, there's a army of humanoid figures thousand upon thousand in a grand formation and some of them even riding an primitive light tanks but majority of them are on horse with a horn on its forehead and much bigger than a regular horse in the Federal Republic
'Im in danger'
