The capital of Cifad, at the center of martial arts of the Ba clan. The Ba clan was a notable family in medieval Cifad and has held the position of marshal for several generations.
They firmly upheld the martial legacy they had established until the present. The soldiers of Cifad must learn hand-to-hand combat and knife skills from Ba clan instructors even though guns and bombs were frequently used in modern times. Although they don't hold any official positions in the present-day government as a result of their obstinate martial ways, they were well respected for their warrior heritage.
Two men in their middle years are sitting on the floor in the main, spacious hall. Like all previous clan heads, the current head, Denzai Ba, is a complete martial arts fanatic. The early forties, manly square face, calm golden eyes, and shoulder-length black hair. The other person is a Diwa Saw instructor from the Ba clan, with black eyes, average-looking, and blood-red spiked hair.
Denzai asked calmly, "How many of our boys were hurt in this accident?".
"Around 8 of our members suffered injuries, but at least we were able to defeat the monster. "
Is he not a member of our center?
"Yes, head. But as we were in the middle of our dueling, he started acting violently and attacking other players. We're not sure what started it, but the TCF showed up and took that monster away from us.
Diwa Saw is genuinely terrified by the monster's power because even when all the trainees and he gang up on one person, the monster managed to inflict harm on some of the trainees.
Given that he was a fighter of the master level, those trainees were not your typical Joe.
Diwa asked, "Don't you think the government is hiding something about monsters?".
Denzai briefly went silent.
"Don't let this conversation veer off topic; the monsters were connected to a recent virus.
I only have a limited amount of information about that because the military and government officials were so silent. "
Since the usually tranquil capital is currently in complete chaos, Denzai also wants to know how serious this virus is. Monsters do appear from time to time, and this week has seen a particularly high rise in murder, rape, and robbery cases.
"What do you make of that monster's strength?
I'm not sure who will win if I engage that monster in a one-on-one battle. "
Although his fighting skills were strong, Diwa felt that the monster's endurance and strength were dreadful. If the monster could harm him in any way before taking him out, the monster would win.
"You may now leave"
Only Denzai remained in this large room in a dilemma after letting Diwa go.
He has some ideas about the current crisis based on the early accident. His recent changes in mental stability, age-appropriate strength gains, and instinct as a martial artist warrior all point to unbelievable possibilities.
He considers yesterday's incident once more when a senior government official approached him and made an offer. The Ba clan will receive updates on the situation and, if necessary, protection from the top brass if they agree to serve as his family's bodyguard.
Although the Ba clan's influence is gradually dwindling, they were not in a position to become others' lapdogs. His warrior's pride could not bear it because, in his opinion, that was just plain provocative.
When he thought back on that incident, his warrior pride was reawakened. He was reminded of the hulking egos of warriors, the heroic sacrifices made by their ancestors on the battlefield, and the wrath of their Ba clan for anyone who had forgotten their sacrifices or insulted their pride.
Denzai abruptly stood up and let out a punch.
" Boom!"
He holds still for a moment in his punching position. Murmured (A warrior's pride will never be tarnished).

Juan Khant was resting on a dilapidated bed in a deserted structure outside the city of Cifad. He lost his gang and was relentlessly pursued by TCF and monsters during this past week, making his days quite miserable. He doesn't know what's wrong with those TCF, but he was aware that if he were to be taken prisoner by them, the results would not be what he would have preferred.
He began to notice his increasing speed and endurance after battling and evading TCF. His hearing is so acute now that he can hear the love talk of the couple from 30 meters away. All he wants right now is to survive, the cowardly desire to survive.

at the capital cathedral of the neighboring nation of Cifad, Laboom. It had an imposing clock tower that was tall and stone gray. The bishop Hextor Heinz is pleading for forgiveness for his sins while praying in the private prayer room because he is powerless to stop the believers from being seduced by demons' whispers.
His inability to protect those in need, those who needed salvation, the conviction to carry out God's will, and those who begged for guidance caused the minds of those believers to be calmed who believed in the lord's Father too.
The figure of the bigshot praying is beginning to shimmer with holy light as night slowly crept in, whether his devotion is having any effect or if God is feeling sorry for his follower.

.
Located in the Asylum of Bim City, Gizsler, a neighboring nation to Cifad and Laboom.
The isolation cells for dangerous criminals and mental patients are located inside the Asylum's most intimate area.
A man who was restrained inside one of the cells was banging his head against the wall and yelling.
The lord is on his way.
Be the container for the Lord *.
Let hell slam down on the world.
I am the manifestation of the Lord's Satan, a supporter of eternal wrath, and I enjoy chaos and insanity. "
As black smoke erupted from that man, the atmosphere in the room grew gloomy.
The nurses and security personnel ignored the raving voices as usual because they were preoccupied with their concerns.

Located between the Henika mountain range and the Veggli grass plains is the Shwe Kyin Guild monastery. The monks' main residence and the center of Buddhism are located in this monastery.
In front of a stone statue of the Buddha, the head monk of the monastery, Naya Ka, was meditating in the Buddhist sutra. Around the head monk's residence, there is a rather gloomy atmosphere that resembles a desolate landscape or a place where eerie murmurs can be heard.
"Humans' emotional desires were a source of suffering; only by letting go of these desires can we find peace and attain enlightenment. "
Monk Naya Ka is having difficulties these days because, even during his meditation sessions, his mind is not at all peaceful. His mind was once again flooded with all the negative feelings and desires he had long since let go of, which tainted his dharma heart.
Monk Naya Ka reaffirmed his dharma heart after spending hours in meditation, and the environment around him became calm.

the Giok organization's main office is in the capital of Laboom.
Giok's imposing headquarters, which overlooked Laboom's capital, was located on the top floor of the meeting space.
"All of our spies at Bernett Group claim to have developed a microchip that can partially control the symptoms of this new virus, according to their reports.
However, the majority of their government's top brass doesn't agree with the Bernett Group's theory, and they appear to be at odds with one another."
The president of the Giok organization, Simon Grey, questioned the group, "How do you gentlemen feel about this matter?"
The top brass of the Laboom government officials and significant members of the Giok organization is seated at the conference table.
They find it difficult to comprehend Bernett Group's action because they consistently support their government. They think they can overcome this obstacle even though this new virus is a difficult nut to crack.
"I think they possess the knowledge that was only known to them. They appear to avoid the most populated areas, judging by the way they moved to Bram. "One of the CEOs expresses his opinion.
"Yes, that's also what I believe, but regrettably, our researchers paled in comparison to Dr. Ray. Don't you?"
Simon asked the deflated-looking head researcher of the Giok organization, "What do your researchers think of this virus?"
"For the time being, we can only state that this virus had a profound impact on people's minds and changed their DNA.
We were still looking into the origin of the outbreaks and the reasons why they varied from one another. "
"The Bernett Group started moving last week, but our Giok organization is like a blind man who hasn't yet learned south from the north. How much more time do you guys need?"
Simon spoke slowly to the head researcher of his organization, but as each sentence went by, his voice grew louder and louder, eventually yelling and throwing the files at the poor researcher.
"Do you think that * Kai * guy is a coward? And that friend of his Dr. Ray is a lunatic that, they made unreasonable decisions?" Simon asked.
He always considered himself Kai's rival and thought he was more talented than Kai. He lacks a Dr. Ray, which is his only shortcoming.
Everyone except for him seems to be in good spirits even though they still lack a clear strategy for getting past these obstacles. However, they are unaware of the true meaning behind Kai's move, and neither is he. However, he can at least partially decipher how his opponent thinks.
Danger! Even those two insane bastons were terrified of the hidden danger that lurked within the populace.
"Did the research of the people I gave you guys come out?"
"President, yes. We can say that because the monsters lost their human nature, they are an entirely different species. Additionally, one of the humans that we managed to capture was exceptional; while he doesn't change like the others, his strength and ability surpass those of the majority of monsters.
He can speak to us and still appears to be able to reason. His response indicated that he was going through a brainwashing phase or something similar, but he claimed he had no idea how to get out of it. "
"The government of our country seeks out individuals with strength and aptitude. More people like him who can repel those monsters are needed if we are to protect the security of our citizens. "
The chief of staff interrupted their conversation.
Simon finds it offensive that his conversation was abruptly ended, but he needs to maintain his composure in front of these senior officials. He says after letting his rage subside.
"Sir, Chief of Staff, please give us three days. If we can figure out how he gets stronger, we can create super soldiers that the government can use. "
