Rise Of The Apocalypse Era 13 Memory

After ordering the shadowblades, Ren decided to continue his snacks. Picking up the fallen slice of cakes, cookies and fruits, Ren remember how hard his last 2 years in the Apocalypse. The young man or rather the the young boy cant hep but to smile bitterly and clenched his fist for the pain, regret, and anger he suffer. The boy who would not even spare a glance to a 5 dollar bread and would never steal even a penny, Fights until his body ache just for some mouthful of leftover and dirty water.

That day the sky was gray and dull, except for some pieces of blue which look like crystal decorated in the vast sky everything was usual. The pieces of blue signify that the sky is slowly clearing up the trapped pollution, chemical and weird energy. Its a sign of recovery from air pollution, if this happen before the apocalypse the environmentalist would be happy to see it. Actually everyone will be happy, who would hate a healthier environment right? Sadly human had no time to care about that kind of thing, they are so busy trying to survive and fill their belly. It was like telling a beggar to buy a 100 dollar premium toy instead of 2 dollar meal that can satiate his hunger. Dont even mind if he has 100 dollar, what would he do to a toy when he is in pain because of hunger? So human will never care about other non related to their survival when they can die any day any hour any minute.

In a old alleyway a 20 something man appeared panting trying to catch his breathe. The exact was hard to say as the man was covered by dirt from head to toe making it hard to say even his-her gender, save for the hard to notice if you dont focus adams apple.

Is there someone trying to rob him? no what can they even get, he doesn't even have meat. Are they trying to kill him? No unless he grow some meat so other will consider eating him or else it will be just waste of precious energy. Then why is he running, well you see its time for Roan Inn to throw their trash. So beggars around that area is now heading on or already there. Due to having a fever, the man named Ren woke a lil bit late, Hopefully he can s.n.a.t.c.h some or else he might not live until tomorrow.

its just a few minutes a way, dragging his so tired and so painful body. He arrived just as the backdoor was open and an middle age man appear dragging a large box of garbage and leftovers.

The middle age man swiftly pour the contents out, He knows the rule and so the beggars. He will pour it and the beggars will take everything even if it does not have a value. A free and perfect trash collecting employee.

The beggars quickly reach out for the contents not even seeing what they grab, after grabbing things they flee as fast as they can. Letting other see that they got food will only get themselve killed a man treasuring a jade ring is guilty so do a beggar having food that will make other always hungry beggar.

Ren s.n.a.t.c.h a small bag and some misc sc.r.a.ps such as rags, charcoal and etc. After that he run and go to his bas.e.m.e.nt. As grand as it may sound it was just a corner in the underground sewer. The unbearable stink that not even ordinary beggar cant stand, is the best protection Ren can have.

His body slumped down as the effect of running with no gas backslash on him. Burning pain cover his body especially his stomach and legs. Mustering all his almost no strength he check his loot. Thankfully he obtain some leftovers and a half piece of black bread. Looks like he can still live for another 2 days. Without thinking unnecessary he start to munch on the 'brunchner' combination of breakfast, lunch and dinner.

young master?

young master are you okay

snapping out of his daydream, Ren turn his head to see his butler looking at him worriedly. Tears silently run down his face. Ren then ignore the butler and much on the food while still crying without a sound. As if trying to tell hisself that he had left that horrible place and he will now have food not only now but also in the future.
