*Gloarr .. !! Bamm !!* Suddenly there was a deafening thunder, the vehicle swerved and swayed abysmally. All of the passengers screamed hysterically, screams, and cries could be heard until echoes broke the worries. Like wine in a glass delivered by a butler to his master and then accidentally touched by a passer-by then falls and breaks! That's about the state of their souls and minds that are in the vehicle.
[Dewi POV]
"Yuji !! Are you alright ?!"
"Oh, my child !!" With worry and fear, I embraced my child that I really love. Trying hard to hug him and bend my body between the hustle and bustle of the situation and crowded with other passengers, hoping I could be a shield if there is something that can hurt my child, like a cage to keep birds safe from something dangerous. I was a little relieved when I heard my son's soft voice.
"I'm fine mom .."
"Ugh .. this is so crowded! I'm afraid Mom .. sob .." while crying softly.
"Everyone hold on tight !! I can't control the vehicle! The front tire broke! "
Shouts came from Sukirman, the driver of the vehicle I was riding in.
"You all need to be calm! I'm focused on trying to drive this vehicle!" With a worried face, he tried his best to control the vehicle.
"Everyone! Calm down, we will all trust Sukirman!" I said it out loud.
"Keep holding on and don't let go of your children! And bend your head to avoid collisions!" Suddenly the wife of the village chief shouted loudly, this was the first time the residents heard her voice this loud. The car sways faster and shakes the hearts and minds of the passengers making them fearful.
"Huuahhh ... Mother! I'm afraid!" the sound of crying children and followed by the cries of other children, and some young women also cried.
*Hikks* .. Mother, Father .. I'm afraid..."
"Hhhuaaaaa ..... sob .."
"Whoooaaaa !!!"
*Bammmm !!* Our vehicle crashed into a large rock, and the vehicle became damaged, that's when I was unconscious.

"We are getting closer to a place of refuge, more or less one kilometer according to the map and the vehicle in front is also getting closer." The village chief said in a tense tone.
"What is this feeling? I feel something bothering me!" Tejo mumbled.
"We are close and the vehicles cannot go in there because the road is already congested with vehicles in front," Wawan said hurriedly.
"Let's run, don't forget to bring the items you need!" Said the village chief.
"Understood, Village Chief!" All understood his intention, then rushed to the location of the refugee camp to transport the goods "needed.
Suddenly someone ran from the vehicle in front, gasping for breath, then said.
"Tejo, the thunder from before ... thaa ... that ... that lightning struck the vehicle containing your wife and the wife of the village chief!!"
Suddenly, Tejo lost control and ran with all his might towards the location, followed by the village head whose eyes were shining red in tears, then followed by his fellow comrades.
"Dewi ... Yujji ... !!" While screaming hysterically and in tears like an madman, Tejo ran towards the scene.
"Move!"
"My wife .. My child ..!"
"Oh, God...!"
"Calm down! All the passengers are safe! Your wife just fainted and your child is fine." Sukirman who was bleeding in his arm tried to calm Tejo and grabbed his shoulder.
"Father, I'm fine, but, Mom didn't talk. Is Mom okay, dad?
"Your mother, fine, she only rested for a while."
"Come on, let's go and move on!" Tejo shouted while carrying his wife, and his son Yuji, walking beside him while holding his father's pants tightly.

As it turned out, the refugee camp they mentioned was an old quarry behind the mountain. Regardless of the future, they immediately entered the old mine. Indeed, old mines are frightening especially if they suddenly collapse, but the atmosphere outside in the wild is even scarier than what they will enter.
The old mine had been prepared by Sukirman and his friends from the village security officer and even had solar lighting and a place to lie down better than lying on the ground.
After entering and laying his wife in a safe place with the children and other villagers, Tejo immediately headed out of the mine mouth.
"Dad, where are you going? I'm afraid!"
"It's okay my child, you're safe here with your mother and other residents"
"You will wake up soon, right?"
"That's for sure, Yuji, sweet child." The gentle voice of the village chief's wife welcomed Yuji's question as if to divert the attention of this little boy so that his father could go join the other adult men to stand guard.
"Thank you, ma'am." With a pale smile, Tejo thanked her and immediately ran away to the entrance of the mine.
"You guys! Are you all right ?!" Tejo ran from inside the mine.
"Ah! Tejo! Come here!"
"Look at that!" One security officer pointed far ahead.
"Oh my God! What's that? !!"
"Fuck!" Everyone in front of the mine was shocked! Their eyes are all wide open! Never before in their lives have they seen something as scary as what they see and feel now.

The world they remembered yesterday's life, the blue sky, the eye-soothing green landscape, the beautiful enchanting picture of the world that God gave, the melodious bird's voice, the sparkling stars scattered in the sky. Everything changes.
The sky was falling, the storm was thundering and lightning roared like a starving lion crushing prey. And all that becomes a more sinister reality, like a dream as if it wants to rise and realize that this is just a mere fantasy. But what they are seeing right now is really the real reality!
The world became pitch black after a black object like a dark cloud passed over it. Blue sky? don't imagine! Even the ashes of the sky during a storm are better than today. The human eye cannot see what is behind it, the black, eternal darkness that they imagine will devour and envelop the world.
"Oh my God, what is that ?!"
"Like Lamuk .."
"In ancient legends .."
"Well, it's dark black!"
"Awful, huh?"
"Even though I can't serve my parents yet ..."
"Yes, so do I.."
"If I am still given a chance, I will bow down and apologize to my mother's father .."
Conversations occur between them, whether consciously or semi-consciously, they mutter to one another.
"Hey .. Looks like .. We have to go inside and close my mouth .."
"Right?"
"Rrruuuuunnnnn ... !!"
Immediately they realized from their reverie then ran bitterly headed into the mine and immediately closed the mine door. Without knowing whether they will survive or not. The door has been successfully closed.
"I don't know whether I will live after this or not, but I'm grateful to know you guys. The brave and protective villagers and the people we love in our lives." With a thin smile, Tejo looked at his friends.
"Hey Tejo, don't worry, we certainly can still live tomorrow," said Henry, smiling.
"Yes, that's right! If we can survive, tomorrow you will be the village chief, Jo." The village chief joked.
Behind the mouth of the mine door, several adult men leaned back against the door. In a dimly lit and dimly lit room, there was only a soft cry from inside the mine, then something happened.
Something like a black cloud came in from a gap in the door they thought was tightly closed!
"Ahh. !! Lamuk !!"
"What the hell!!!"
"I still want to live!!"
Loud screams could be heard from the direction of Tejo and the others until they got inside and caused panic. Tejo and the others tried to run inside but in vain, the black cloud they called Lamuk had touched their feet. The black object binds their bodies from the base of the ankles to the head.
"What's this, my body can't move!"
"Arrgghhh .. please !!"
"Please...."
"Help...."
"Hell ..."
The black object covered their feet, spread all over the body, like paper stuffed into a glass, then the water seeped up to soak all over the paper.
Their eyes turn black, dark. The object continued to move towards the mine.
"The sound of screaming ?! What happened to my husband and his friends ?!"
"Mom, look at that!"
[Yuji POV]
At that moment, suddenly something dark enveloped me. And when I open my eyes
"Alert"
"You have reawakened. To avoid procedural errors, we chose to give the Examination as humans are familiar with it."
"System is on"
