Chereads / The Earth's Taming Savior / Chapter 2 - A New Savior

Chapter 2 - A New Savior

"No one else seems to be reacting... Was I the only one who received the savior message?" Noah thought as he looked around. "... What was that? Just now...he looked like he was checking something." Logan thought as he observed Noah. "I don't know if it is because of the text above his head, but doesn't team leader Logan look scarier now?" "More importantly, didn't it tell us to look for a savior or something? Shouldn't we be focusing on that instead?" "So, the Savior isn't a metaphor?" Two coworkers talked to each other about the situation.

"Just what the hell is going on here? Why does nobody know that I'm the SAVIOR?" Noah thought to himself yet again. "Isn't the savior essentially someone who saves others?" "Then what's a predator do? Team leader logan seems to be-- *EUK!* Why is the atmosphere so tense here?" People thought to themselves as Logan walked through the crowd.

"There's nothing above my head. Is it a glitch? Or does it not show up with mirrors to begin with. Or maybe it's deliberately hidden?" *STEP* Noah was thinking as Logan approached him. "T-Team leader Logan? W-What brings you here?" "Noah, you look a little uncomfortable... Dis you perhaps... see something? Logan questioned to Noah. "There's no doubt about it. There was a change in Manager Noah's expression.... It should be visible then...", Logan thought. "I-I'm not sure what you mean...Are you talking about the strange survey we just did? I'm sure of it! No one else can tell that I'm a savior. I'll hide for now, just to be safe...!" Noah thought. "I'm suspicious, but I have no proof. According to the game quest alert, I can follow the savior or steal the role.... If you don't understand, then don't worry about it. Could it be... That Noah Arroyo is a savior? But what kind...? He can't tell me... is that it?" Logan thought as he walked away.

"Damn it! Why aren't they picking up?!" *chime* "Hello? Honey? I can't hear you!" "Dad, are you doing okay?!" "Mom, where are you right now? Are you at home?" "Hello dear, is everything Fine?" "I'll be there soon!" "I don't think this is a time to stay at work!" "Be careful, it's going to be even more chaotic outside!", Everyone was clamoring.

"This has become a complete mess. I should go home too." Noah thought as the number 5 appeared above his head. "What? I suddenly see numbers in my head. And there's numbers on other people's heads? ...! These numbers, could they be...Deposited essence? I'm guessing that the first five I saw was my essence value. Am I the only one who can see these numbers? Because I am a savior? But how am I supposed to use this essence?" Noah thought as he packed up his stuff. "They just dumped some numbers on me without explaining how to use them.", Noah thought further.

"Everyone seems to be in a rush... Aren't you going to see your family Mr. Arroyo?" Logan said to Noah. "I was just about to head out--! T-Ten?! I-I have to hurry, my dad is waiting for me at home." Noah replied "I can give you a lift, if you are okay with it? It will be difficult to ride the bus or the subway right now." Logan said. "Oh, then I will take you up on your offer. *bows* He's been acting odd since earlier. It's not like we're close or anything, so why...? *RUMBLE* "Urgh" Logan said while falling due to the quake. "Let's go! If this keeps up, the car might not be in one piece! We need to get to the parking garage quickly!" Logan said. "Can the tea leader see something that I can't? His number is higher than mine, so he is bound to be useful to me." Noah thought. "It's not working! There's no response!" Noah said. "But isn't it dangerous for me to go with him...When I don't know exactly what a predator is?" Noah thought.

"Assistant Manager!" Brandon yelled "Ah Brandon! What are you still doing here! Logan said. Noah, Logan, please take me with you! I don't know where I should go!", Brandon pleaded. "Logan, I think we should take Brandon with us!" Noah said. "Alright, but let's get to the stairs." Logan replied. "What floor did you park on?" Noah asked. "Basement floor 3", Logan replied. They then ran down to Basement floor 3. *Pant* *Pant* *Wheeze*

"At this point, I have a vague idea of what the earth wants. The earth wants to find someone who is able to adapt to this ridiculous situation and take advantage of this opportunity... It's looking for a hero! The problem is its methods are way too harsh and there's sure to be tons of casualties. And aside from the role of Savior or Predator...I wonder if there are any other roles? Who knows, maybe a role is a minimum qualification. If I summarize everything the earth has told me so far... Number one...The earth will be destroyed in 50 days. Number two, being not of this earth will try to take our essences. Number three, essence can be used as weapons or armor. If you die, your essence will fall to the ground for others to pick up. Number four, if we want to completely resolve this situation, we need to find and help a savior. And lastly, I am that savior." Noah thought as they ran down the stairs.

"Wait! Something feels wrong. I haven't seen or heard anyone in a while. If everyone rushed out at once, it should be pretty chaotic in here too." Logan said. "Your right, it's usually packed at lunchtime. It's as if, everyone suddenly disappeared..." Noah said. "It's too quiet in here, let's carefully examine the situation. It would be a relief if everyone got out of here quickly... But if that's not the case...Then we might see something truly horrifying.", Logan informed them.

"CREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK" The door sounded. "Wait... That's...!" Logan said in disarray.
