[Time Skip]
The world turned out to be so hostile, a haze of dust, covered almost all the continental shelf so that the sun's rays could not penetrate the ground. Even after two years, the earth was still in ruins, but the weather and natural conditions had begun to return to normal. Now everyone is getting used to something new about themselves and their surroundings, civilization is destroyed, technology is disappearing, many electronic devices and vehicles are not functioning, people are returning to use their own power and animals for their lives. Magnificent buildings collapsed replaced by giant stones that rise high and are firmly planted on the ground. Wild animals appear, even monsters sometimes appear. Some cases even have seen creepy strange creatures and strange beautiful creatures that come out of other dimensions through the dark light from the surface of a giant meteor rock fragment, that stone is known to be a portal to the unseen world, and soon it called as *Lawang* or gate in general terms.

"Yuji, hurry up and have breakfast!"
"Yes, Mom. Wait a minute."
"Where's my breakfast, honey?"
*clatter ... clatter ..*
This is my new life, now I am 6 years old, like a flash, two years have passed since that incident. More than half of the villagers have died, many died in the incident but some are afterward either due to illness or attacked by monsters.
This is not like a village but rather a settlement. Located far between the hills and dense forest, we chose to be hidden away from what was once a bustling area, passing a stone-walled pathway to the right and left with several large trees and the road going further up. Continue to the top until there is a plain as large as half a football field, then behind it, there is a rock cliff, this is where we settled and built houses by digging rock cliffs as a place to live. We were very lucky because, in one of the caves built by the residents, clear and cold springs appeared. We then built a small moat and a small river to the front of the settlement through the plain leading to the front cliff. From this place, we could look down as far as the eye could see and with this, we managed to survive by paying attention to the things that were happening around us very clearly. Really a strategic place both to survive the onslaught of wild animals and monsters that come. But from here, too, we could immediately see the frightening meteorite gate that emanates strange and terrifying creatures from inside.
Now there are only 20 people and 5 children including myself. After burying the people who died from being buried in the cave, my father led the survivors to find a safe location, at that time the sky was still dark and foggy dust covered the whole land, it took us almost a month to find a suitable place to live. Several months passed many elders died due to illness and very bad weather.
A year ago my father had a strange dream and then told us all that humans have been blessed to face difficulties in this new world. He said that he was the one chosen to tell the truth, and he was one of those people whose memory was not erased, like the others.
My father also explained that humans were given the blessing to be able to use the power of nature and have the inner strength commonly called MaNA, besides that there were certain people who could master magic. The inner power that humans have can strengthen the human body and senses. Make them awaken superpowers hidden within themselves like in a fairy tale. Because of the difficult circumstances and difficulty to obtain food, my father invited adults who had enough energy to hunt for wild animals and monsters for their meat. Apart from being the head of the village and the hunter, my father was also a teacher about new knowledge that was not yet understood by the villagers, maybe also all humans.
"Now I'll repeat the basic lessons for you guys."
Yes, right. My father was a teacher for all of us, without exception all the villagers, both adults and children, totaling 25 people, gathered in the middle of the settlement.
In this new world and life, I aspire to become an adventurer and explore the world then one day I want to be the king who protects my society from disaster and evil.
