Next day
when the sun had already reach the middle of the sky, Leo who was sleeping Heard some noise that forced him to wake up.
after opening his eye, he found himself looking at unfamiliar ceiling,{hmm, where I am?},as he thought of that he closed his eye again and took a deep breath.
Then he tried to awakened his memories as he remember all what happened yesterday,{Ah,I remembered. yesterday after running out of stamina, I slept on this deserted house, whose owner identity is unknown,not only his identity his life and death is unknown as well.}
After Jumbing up from the bed, he look through the window, where the sounds that woke him up came from, then he saw several men and his father with them,killing some goblins and orcs with somehow ease,{ It seems as long as one got the level 1 potion, even if they haven't train in martial arts,and even if they have never experienced fighting before, they can easily fight against these monsters.}
yawn~!
I yawned as I stretched my arms. After putting back the blanket,I took a shower in the bathroom.
"leo have you woke up?" ,Getting down the stairs, I heard my mother's voice that came from the kitchen of this house.
He didn't have the energy to answer her, so instead of words coming from his mouth, he give her a light hug.
"you are still sleepy, even though you didn't wake up until the afternoon you sleepyhead ?"(jessica)
"haha,yeah" After laughing a little he moved toward the table, where he saw the breakfast, even though its already noon time.
As he wolfed down his breakfast,he asked, "where are the other women I don't see them"
"they went to their houses, maybe they can find some of their things that are still safe from yesterday fire" (jessica)
"alone? Aren't they afraid they will meet some monsters outside?" (leo)
"they refused when the men asked to escort them, "with this power we got from the system, we can easily run from those monsters, if we couldn't fight them. So its unneeded", that's what they said before they departed " (jessica)
{Hmm,it true,if it just running they will surely outrun those monster in speed,at least,if it's the monsters that we saw yesterday,hmm did I just rise a flag?,haha ,no way. right? right?},leo thought as he said,"that's good then wha…..",When I was about to ask her, she interrupted me, as she said in a low and somehow a shivering voice
"Leo?"
"hmm?,yes?" hearing her voice like that leo couldn't help but forgot all he had wanted to ask.
"are you still the leo I know" (jessica)
{Ahh, its about what i said to her about my skill yesterday,i should have told her this when i woke up, how could i forgot something so important .)
"it still me,mom. it seems That your son had underestimated his willpower or maybe its because of my other skill that strength my mind…." Before he could say all his words, he felt jessica's warm hands surrounding him in a hug that he gladly accepted.
"sorry mother for making you worry, I should have told you sooner" (leo)
"its okay as long as you are okay, as long as you are okay….,Ah you must be hungry I will bring you something else to eat wait a moment and I will come back" A smile crept on my mouth as I saw her working like usual, in the kitchen, if not for the sound of the weapon's outside, I would have thought that nothing of what happened yesterday was real.
{We should get out of this city as fast as we can, from what I heard in the TV, it seems this monster accident is only in the Coastal cities, around the world, so most people are running away from them now , we also should do the same.I need to protect my family from this disaster,after that we can think about the future, fortunately Rose is far away now so she is safe for the time being,I should also call my friends if they are still here so we could move together,but before that--}
'status window'
[ 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒔𝒚𝒏𝒄𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒛𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆 : 71% ]
Seeing this huge rise, I wasn't surprise.
{ all the time I had slept , I was In a dream realm, where I have to fight hak all the time, even thought my physical status are higher than him by a lot, I was the one who was taking a beating all the time, I even died few time there,and I would like to say that the feeling of physical death is not pleasant, I was finally able to fight with him a few round before I woke up, but even so, to the end, I never won the fight even once.}After eating all my breakfast. I went again up to the room where I slept before.
Then I called the system ,Taking the second level potion from the reward section, then look at its description.
[Level 2 body reinforcement potion cost:1000 point]
[ Note 1:temporarily discount to 100 point in the first day of the opening of the store.
Note 2: raise your strength, speed, endurance, reaction speed by 2 ]
After drinking it my physical status became like this :
III-physical status
• Strength: F (3)
• Endurance: F (3)
• Agility: F (3)
• Stamina: F (3)
With this sharp rise in status. i felt that I was getting closer to the realm of superhuman.

———Pov leo———
"so what do you think about what I have said ?" (leo)
"I don't think there is anything wrong with that we already gathered our clothes so we can move anytime" (kein)
"then let's go to the supermarket first." (leo)
As they all stood up to gather their things I saw ,old man josef still stting in the chair as I looked at him, he declared "I am not going!"
"..."
"what? Josef what are you going to do here alone." (steven)
"I can't go anywhere,my house is the only thing that I have left of my late wife and dead son,how can I left them and go somewhere else, I would rather die,I am already in my seventies at the death door,so dying here or dying a few years later of old age is the same to me." (Josef)
"but have you forgot about rose?" (jessica)
"rose is already big enough, she wouldn't need me anymore instead, I would only be a burden to her with my old and frail body in this apocalypse like situation..." (Josef)
Thud~!
The sound of josef's body falling from his chair to the ground ranger through the room as everything else was silent.
"leo, you….?" (Mina)
"Shut up,now is not time for this drama,if that man had truly wanted death, he should have done so before he start taking care of rose, now his life is not his own alone, if he wanted to die he should at least go and ask rose for permission." (leo)
The frown they had when I knocked up Josef with a hand knife, quickly turned to a grin
"hee,leo I didn't know you had it in you" (kein)
"so all this talk was all about not wanting to see rose cry" (Mina)
{Ah,its a misunderstand but even if I tried to explain they will only say that I was shy,no! maybe they are just trying to tease me to make the mode lighter,also what the hell mom, why are you joining the fun as well]
"since,when have you relationship
With her advanced to this stage,why haven't you told me" (jessica)
{ I am sorry mother it seem I overestimates you ,its not that you are joining them to tease me, you are genuinely belived that I have some close relationships with rose.]
"don't let your thought go wild, I don't have the kind of relation that you are imagining in your stupid heads" (leo),{my relationship with he finally had upgraded to a friend from an enemy after all this years of hardworking, how could it become a love relationship}
"don't be shy man." (kein)
"I am not!" (leo)
"then didn't you knocked out Josef so you can take him back to rose," (kein)
"that's true." (leo)
"why is that?" (kein)
"life is not that cheap that he can give up on it whenever he want,also rose will be sad if he died." (leo)
"oooh!" (steven, jessica, kein,Mina)
"oi, I said it before don't run your thoughts wild ,me and rose are just childhood friends nothing more nothing less!" (LEO)
"hee,are you sure?" (KEIN)
Instead of answering I pick up Josef then put him in the car . { i feel If we don't get out of here,they won't me live in peace. }
"lets go, playtime is over "(leo)
Seeing that i put an end to this conversation, They were somehow disappointed but they know what kind of situations they were in —"tsk we will stop for the time being",was what they said in union.
{only for now???, make it forever, what a headache},then we quickly pack after that, and get our things in the cars,including Josef's that I pack with father personally, Then we departed.
"hmm?", when we were about ten miles away from the city, I felt some thing was wrong with the atmosphere.
"....!!!",Next second when I looked back, I saw a light descending from the sky at a high speed, with my newly enhance sight.
Realising what is that in an instant, I said in the loudest voice, I could master with my vocal cords, "guys stop the cars and lay down inside it now!!!!!!..."
Before I could make sure that all of them did so. The surrounding temperature rise in an alarming speed,then i became I lost sight. After that I felt a strong shockwave,that destroyed the windows of my car and other two cars behind.
All I thought at that time was how thankful I was toward God. If we stay there even another min we would have already vaporized.
{ if we survived this,after regaining sight ,we should go away from here as fast as we could , or we will die,from the aftermath.
also,what the hell is the government is doing?what could have made them drop THAT weapon here? has something bigger than the monster crisis, happen while I don't know? }"anyway let's just get out of here first. "
regin pov
30 min ago
"can't you really wait some more, atleast until we could get all the resident out of the city ? "(Regin)
"can't ,you have an hour at most,its not like I have a choice, even after all the information you have submitted, THEY don't want to believe that mankind's strongest weapon is nothing to that monster, THEY are afraid of what would happen if that thing get out of our country, and because of that fear they are pressuring me, I only got you thirty min, save as mush as you can, but don't make that public, it will only make people got in more chaos that they are already in, it would be better if they die without even noticing the danger, while that sound inhuman that's all I could do, even if I said to them don't send it, they will do it, asking me for my premission now is only them trying to be a little polite"(the president)
{Permission? polite? my ass!,isn't that the same as someone telling you "please let me kill you".},I thought as I heard, the voice of the president from the phone.
"sorry regin, I can't do anything now ,i can only wish you save more and best of luck in surviving as well"(the president)
"understood president ,then please excuse me,time is running"(regin)
"its okay,I hope,we could see each other again in the near future "(the president)
After ending the call. I called my comrades, I told them everything without a single lie.
while they had complicated faces,they all move quickly to actions. Spreading over the city taking people in their cars in a gently way most of the time, and forcefully at other times.
{What the hell is happening in this world?
is this really the true apocalypse ? if this is really it , then all I can say that humans had done a lot of evil enough to deserve such an ending, No! they are still doing evil even at the moment. Why those bastards couldn't wait until we make the city vacant? unfortunately mankind are not all scums like them, otherwise i would have said"you deserve it humans" without a shard of guilt,maybe I will even laugh }
"I was never a fan of the philosophy of sacrificing one to save 100, but now they are sacrificing the whole city and what is around it, only for the chance of killing that thing when the possibility from the very start is 0% ..." (regin)
"commander! did you say something ?" a young policeman called Sam said.
"no , just do your job, and hurry up time is running out",I said as I looked at the sad and pressured faces of my comrades who were forced to select who will live and who will die,{they will surely not sleep from today on because of guilty, I am sorry my dear brothers, I am really sorry I can't do anything to help you}, I thought as a tear couldn't help, but fell from my right eye, that I quickly wiped, making sure no one saw me, as to not make their morals, even worse than they were.
