The world I live in was taken over by monsters.
More than half of the world was lost.
My twenties were completely consumed by battles against monsters.
I was separated from my beloved partner, and fell into a world that was the same, yet different.
But I still haven’t given up.
[Today marks ten years since the Aurora appeared. Well, I suppose it’s also been ten years since the Dimensional Beasts began invading. Not that it matters-our precious civilians and the top government brass are probably enjoying life on Jeju Island, so let’s keep smiling as we serve as bullet shields. Here’s today’s music.]
He smirked as he listened to the music flowing from the car radio.
That cool military broadcast DJ was still hanging in there without getting fired.
Feeling relaxed, he started to enjoy the music.
And then it happened.
Suddenly, static began to mix into the audio.
“Major!”
The woman in the passenger seat, who had been listening to the music, shouted toward him.
At her cry, the man lying in the shade of the vehicle sat up.
Major Kang Yonghoon, Team Leader of the 3rd Ability Strike Team, 3rd Division, Nakdong River Defense.
That was his full rank and name.
He gazed intently at the long stretch of the Nakdong River below the hill.
The sky darkened.
Suddenly, the flow of water in the middle of the river began to act strangely. The air grew heavy, and a strange sensation tickled his head.
He got to his feet. It was time to work.
He shouted toward the military jeep.
“C-Rank Scout-type Monster Dimensional Movement! Prepare to deploy!”
“Damn, just when I thought I could rest.”
The man lounging in the back seat of the jeep, enjoying the spring sunlight, grumbled as he sat up. The vehicle shook from his massive frame.
Yonghoon ignored his complaint, climbed into the driver’s seat, and started the car.
At that moment, a signal sounded from the radio. The communication from division headquarters, filled with static, was about Dimensional Movement.
“Yes, we’re on our way. Over.”
The female soldier in the passenger seat picked up the radio and replied. Her beautiful face remained expressionless even as she spoke.
The vehicle sped toward the Nakdong River at full throttle.
