An old woman was lying on the bed and the doctor at the side of him said, "I am afraid she can't live much longer" and looking at the young man he said, "I am very sorry, but I can't save her" and patting shoulder the doctor left. The old woman looked at the young man who had jet black hair and blue eyes, his height was above average and gave a feeling of protection to those around him. He could be considered a handsome man but due to his clothing, his beauty was hidden like a jade covered in mud. The old woman coughed before saying, "Son I don't have much time my only wish is I hope you prepare for the end of 2020." The young man shouted, "Mother why are you so persistent. No one believes you, everyone thinks you are a mad person why are you so persistent Mother" and left banging the door. The young man sat on the ground and started crying.
Next day,
As the fire burned the young man watched his mother being burned. He stood like a pillar but his tears were flowing like waters. Other people watched him and started gossiping
"I thought she was just 38 years, how did she become old so quickly??"
"I think she was possessed by a ghost otherwise why she would become mad overnight"
"Yeah I think so too"
"Shh keep quiet otherwise the boy will hear you"
The young boy stood like a pillar ignoring their talks.
The black clouds slowly formed and started to rain.
"Let's go home quickly it is raining"
"Mom. It is raining"
"Honey Let's go home"
"Dad I want to go to home"
As the people left and headed towards their home the young man stood watching his mother being burned.
As his mother turned into ashes the young man left and headed towards his home. His home as located was in a hill with barely any people living.
He entered his home and went to his mother's room. In front of his mother's bed, he started to weep in the memories of his mother. His father had abandoned him and his mother when he was just a boy to marry a rich old woman. His mother struggled to feed him and pay his school fees, and now his only family had left him. The young man wiped his tears and found box below his mother's bed. He opened the box, there were many things in the box like photos of Wang Chong when he was young, some money, and he also found an old and tattered book. Wang Cheng picked up the book written, 'Beginning of the Chaos' Wang Cheng slowly flipped the book. Most of the writings were already lost, and there were barely any words Wang Cheng was able to understand. As Wang Cheng flipped the book he finally found a sentence he was able to read.
Thursday, 31 December/ Year 2020
The chaos had finally begun. I c**'t be**** *t *ut th* g** have a**nd**** *s
Wang Cheng threw the book and said angrily "Is this why mother always persisted me to prepare for the end of 2020. Just because of a fu***** book." One day his mother persisted something would happen at the end of 2020 and always talked about it. Her persistence angered her friends and other people, and in the end, people started calling him a mad person. People joked she had become a fortune-teller overnight. Her behavior also changed, and she became quick to anger. But the most unbelievable thing was she started to age quickly. Wang Cheng did his best to help her but after some months she was at his death bed. Doctors couldn't explain her quick ageing and in the end, they gave up. Wang Cheng was about to leave the room, but he turned back and started to read the book. In the end, Wang Cheng wasn't able to understand anything, but he understood the book was trying to say something was going to happen at the end of 2020. As Wang Chong was trying to understand the book's words his phone started to vibrate.
It was a phone call from his best friend.
Wang Chong looked at his phone and declined the call.
In an amusement park,
A young man who was around Wang Chong's age was currently sitting with a beautiful girl at his side. The young man had blonde hair with a muscular body. He was wearing extravagant clothes with a gold watch in his left hand and a ring. He looked at his phone which was the latest version with disappointment. He dialed the number, but it was declined. He was a bit angry, but he just sighed and decided to let it go. The girl in his side kissed his cheek and asked: "What happened, babe??." The young man's anger disappeared and kissed her back, "Nothing for some reason my friend didn't pick up my call"
The girl said with a disgust in her eyes, "Who is so stupid to ignore your call??"
Suddenly the young man grabbed her neck, and looking at their eyes he pointed his finger towards her eyes and said: "Bit** if you dare to talk smack about him I will kill you." The girl was barely able to breathe and when the young man removed his hand the girl collapsed and shivered in fear. She was terrified and didn't dare to say anything.
The young man looked at the sky and said, "*sigh* I should just visit him"
***
Wang Cheng was unable to understand anything except something was going to happen at the end of 2020. He finally gave and searched for any clues inside the box.
Wang Cheng was unable to find anything except for a card. When he picked up the card anything light started to glow and Wang Cheng quickly threw the card away.
When Wang Cheng slowly approached and picked up the glass he realized there were things written in the card.

"What the hell is this??", Yang Feng to himself, "Why did my mother hide this??." He tried to figure out what this thing was, and he looked at the book, "So does that mean what my mother said was true??." Wang Cheng shook his head and said: "Now this isn't a fantasy world to happen something like this but what if---"
Knock Knock
Wang Cheng went to the door to see who was knocking his door, and it was none other than his friend Ling Chen. Ling Chen looked at him asking, "Why didn't you pick up my phone, and what happened to you??"
Wang Cheng realised his eyes were currently red due to him crying, "Oh it is nothing."
Ling Chen looked at the eye of Wang Cheng and asked, "Where is aunty??"
Wang Cheng kept quiet for a moment and replied "She is no longer here"
Ling Chen was confused, so, he asked, "Has she gone outside??"
Wang Cheng nodded and said "She has gone away from the world"
Ling Chen was stunned for a moment and asked, "How is it possible??" he turned back and dialed a number on his phone and shouted angrily "You bastard why wasn't I informed of aunty's death do all of you want to die?? And do whatever you can and bring me the doctor who treated aunty even if he is in Mars I will break his ha---" he was stopped by Wang Cheng who said, "Don't blame the doctor it wasn't his fault." Ling Chen looked at the eye of Wang Chen and sighed "I am very sorry I didn't come to attend her funeral."
"Well it wasn't your fault anyway", Wang Cheng said "It is my fault for not taking good care of her"
Ling Chen punched the wall and said: "It was not yours but my fault for not bringing a higher-skilled doctor."
Wang Cheng looked at the eye of Ling Chen, he was not telling a lie, but he genuinely blamed himself, "Don't blame yourself if it weren't for you, I would have already lost hope"
Wang Cheng wasn't telling a lie the medical cost wasn't something Wang Cheng could bear so Ling Chen stood up and helped him even going as far as to bringing a doctor with good reputation to check him daily. If it weren't for Ling Chen's help his mother wouldn't have even had survived up until yesterday.
