Aliens.

Invasion.

​​

Magic.

Monsters.

Escape.

These words echoed in the mind of Freya. Her mortal faculties tried to grasp the reality of this situation but found it very hard to do so. Thus, she could only look at her boyfriend for support.

Freya expected to see shock and disbelief on our bored gamer's face but oddly enough, she saw the same unperturbed demeanor as always.

"Do you believe anything of this, Caden? Please tell me that this is just a joke." Freya said as she walked towards the love of her life.

"This is real. But trust me. Everything will be okay, Freya." Our bored gamer opened his arms and his girlfriend went in then cried her worries away.

"The attack will start in less than 3 months."

"Sadly, I still need at least 1 year more to be a level 6 monster."

"If my calculations are correct, i would at most beat a peak level 9 opponent as i am now."

"I need to hide some more until I reach the next evolution path of a Clone Harpy." Clark mused in his lonesome. He was well aware that there was a level 10 existence out there.

Thus, it would be suicide to come out now without having the absolute certainty of defeating that kind of power.

"SIGH!"

"I'm almost there." With these last words, our bored gamer went out to gather his family. This was the day that they were going to leave the planet of Astro.

To where, not even our good gamer knew at this time.

"Brother! I'm afraid!" A little girl hugged one of Clark's legs. This was of course none other than one of Caden's siblings.

"It will be alright, Rose. Your big brother is here." Our bored gamer reassured and looked around him next. The room was full of people.

There was his family, Freya's, and so were the Read family.

The 3 families decided to go together today in order to be in the same team of refugees unto the next world from here. They were 25 souls all in all.

"Let's go." Clark said and off they went into the skies. They used 3 helicopters to arrive at the center of Rodon City. On their way, everyone could see a mass exodus of people and cars.

The traffic was unbelievable to say the least. There were no open spots at all.

Although the streets were tight but the Empire Police saw that no trouble and stampede would happen amongst its citizens.

Perhaps this was one of the good news in today's uncertain times.

"TUG!"

"TUG!"

"TUG!"

...

The flying vehicles landed on a helipad near the city hall. The security was tight on this place and it took a couple of minutes before Clark and the rest was granted access into the building.

They entered into the city hall and immediately noticed a circular construct that bubbled with a deep sense of mystery unto anyone.

It looked like a scene from a science fiction movie and so this invited both awe and dread unto the mortal travelers of Astro.

One should know that they were made innocent and unaware of any supernatural aspects before the shocking revelations of the Lord of Astro.

It did not need telling that this has indeed come as an unpleasant surprise to all of them.

"NEXT! One hundred people line up quickly!" An Empire soldier in uniform roared near the big portal. One hundred people went as ordered.

"GO! GO! GO!" The same empire soldier shouted once more after they checked the number in the lineup.

Some moments later, the 100 people walked through the portal and disappeared thereafter.

"NEXT! One hundred people line up quickly!" The same thing happened over and over again until it was finally our bored gamer's turn.

"GO! GO! GO!" The empire soldier commanded and a new group of one hundred souls passed through the travel gates and into the unknown.

"Where are we?"

"What is this place?"

"Wahhhhhhhhhh!" Questions rang and a few children cried when they caught sight of the primitive location they were in.

There was a forest nearby, a river, and alien lands as far as the eyes can see.

"DING!" The mystical portal behind them disappeared after the last man was spat out from its center. But this was not the last item from the portal.

A yellow colored intermodal container was also left behind for this team of 100 people.

They looked at one another as if asking for what they would do next but a strange scene happened before anyone could ever take action.

"BANG!" The yellow container opened up by itself and then came into view a very lovely woman in an empire soldier's garb.

"All right, listen up! I am Amira Walker. I will be your guide in surviving on this new planet."

"YOU! YOU! YOU! And YOU!" The soldier named Amira Walker pointed at strong bodied men amongst the group and ordered them to do her bidding next.

"Come help me take out the supplies."

"Yes, ma'am!" The four men happily obliged. It was obvious that they found relief in the arrival of this unexpected help. Getting orders was after all easier than making hard decisions yourself.

'A soulless shell? An android?' Our bored gamer looked at the woman and determined her identity at one glance alone.

One should know that Clark was already using his true body at this time since the world of Astro was doomed to become a battlefield or a loot of war sooner or later.

'With a strong leader like this android Amira Walker, there would be no conflicts in the 100 batches of refugees in their respective destinations.

Whoever thought this plan has truly seen far ahead into the future. This setup is indeed wise.' Our good gamer approved of this setting.

'I just hope that my sign in system is not lost in this change of scenery.' Clark sighed as he looked at the last lights of this day.

He estimated that there was only at least 2 hours left before the cold night would arrive before them. More than that, our good gamer mused about the impending war 3 months from now.

"Don't die too soon, little baldy. I still have to personally punish you someday."
