Another Six months have passed since the first beast attacked humanity. Since that day everything has changed.
That was also not the last attack. That was just the beginning. Humanity has faced many such attacks all over the world.
No one has ever thought that humanity will lose its apex predictor status this way. Humanity has understood that they are not at the top of the food chain anymore.
A fight broke out between humanity and the beast for survival.
Even though humans had powerful weapons they still had to sacrifice many soldiers and civilians in this war of survival. Many good soldiers have died in the jaws of this beast.
What's even worse is that with every passing time the beasts are becoming stronger and stronger. Many of humanity's Weapons start to lose their usefulness. Normal bullets are not strong enough to kill these creatures.
Humanity faces its first biggest crisis which can lead them to the verge of distraction. Surviving becomes harder.
Once peaceful earth is nowhere to be seen. It was harsh before but at least humans didn't have to face these monsters.
Because of this crisis, People have stopped going outside for work. Many factories stop functioning. It was not the economy, but the food supply was getting lower.
Some smart people have already guessed about the food pandemic so they already store some food in advance. But not everyone thought that way. They don't have enough money to buy things in big quantities.
But Hope wasn't gone for humanity. As they say, tough times give birth to strong people and war gives birth to heroes.
Many awakens have joined in the war between humanity and beasts. Not everyone is afraid of death.
After a constant battle of six months, humans now can take a small breath of relief. But they know that the problem is not solved yet.
So for the second time in history, all the countries came together and made a decision to build sanctuary all around the world for the survival of humanity.
But to do such big projects they need a lot of time. So they know that they have to continue to fight until the project finishes.
During this time a new profession has opened by both governments and private. Cliche may sound but humans like to call them Hero.
Because of this Many have joined this 'Guild'. Some for money, some for fame, some for the survival of humanity. But whatever the reason is, the number of heroes increases.
This was a great decision made by the Government and all humans agreed. The government also bands any experiments or criticism against this Hero.
Well, everything has pros and cons. The government also knows this. But in the face of a crisis, they are willing to face these cons.

Nakamura Bakery and Restaurant, the place is bustling with customers as always. Even though the shop has gotten bigger, still there isn't enough room for customers.
Anyone who comes here will never think that the world is facing almost annihilation.
No one knows why but 100 km around this restaurant has become the safest place on Earth.
There was no beast horde attack here. There is not even a single beast that comes this way. It's like they avoid this area, like a forbidden zone.
Because of this, land here has become very expensive. But, even after offering 10 times or 100 times more money, no one is willing to sell their land.
Life is more important than money. But even that didn't stop others from coming here and taking shelter.
People are more willing to sleep on the street than die at the jaw of beasts.
Some government people who know about this place also decided to stay here. But humans are really vile creatures. Those who know about this place never tell others, afraid some powerful awakened or government will take this place for them.
By increasing the population the popularity of the Restaurant increased a fewfold. Even at times like this, people manage to find happiness by eating the food cooked in this restaurant.
If a person goes inside the restaurant they will never think that the world outside is really fucked up.
"2 fried rice, one ichiraku ramen."
"One sweet and sour pork belly."
"I want the transforming furikake rice."
Order after order rings in the hall.
"Coming…" a few waiters and waitresses run in and out of the kitchen as they bring food with them.
At the front wall of the restaurant, there is a big screen tv which is now showing the current situation of the world.
Some people are drinking at the side of the small bar inside the restaurant and watching the news. They can only sigh and pray for the world.
A very charming beautiful woman is sitting behind the counter and she takes the bills from the customer.
Any customers who look at her can't help but continue to look at her. But they had to do it secretly.
It has become taboo to flirt with any girl related to this business. Not only will you get beaten black and blue, but you also won't be welcome in the restaurant anymore.
"Ms Sakura, here are my bills." One of the customers said as he paid the bill. The food isn't expensive even though the world is in crisis. Most of the customers are thankful for that.
Sakura takes the bills and continues to look at the tv. The man also quickly left after that. The owner of the shop doesn't like people loitering here after they have finished eating.
Even if the Owner didn't say anything, others will surely beat them if they don't leave. Many people are still waiting and standing outside for their chance to eat.
The area around the shop has become a good business point. Because of the restaurant the whole street is now crowded with people. Unlike before, now it looks like the business here is better than in any other place.
There are all kinds of shops around the street except the restaurant. Which is weird. But all the shop owner knows that they won't succeed in the restaurant business as long as there is this Nakamura restaurant.
People are more willing to stand in line with a hungry stomach than to try another restaurant.
