Villain of my own novel

Chapter 2 01. THE FALL.

?01/04/2022, the day a global blackout happened, resulting in many deaths; after a week of investigation into why the blackout occurred, particular news spread that trees were growing faster and becoming impossible to chop; and after another week, dramatic climate changes occurred in daily life.

The lack of electricity and the malfunction of all man-made items gave the impression that nature was taking control. All animals went insane and slaughtered several people, which was so horrible that many people hesitated to leave their homes.

HUMANITY FELL.

People needed a glimmer of hope and that was 'STONE AGE'

As it was thought impossible to entirely chop down a tree, many people broke down the limbs of the trees and crafted tools needed for survival.

Many used their knowledge of the 'stone age' to hunt the monsters and started to survive by exploring, helping people, and creating groups.

In less than six months, everything was destroyed, and when humanity started to rebuild and regain their footing, many fictional monsters as well as dinosaurs started to appear. The gen-z were thrilled and asserted that everything was happening because "mana," which they constantly read about in webtoons and novels, is now being introduced to Earth. While many people gave up, this explanation was enthusiastically supported by the gen-z.

Individuals who were powerful enough to combat the monsters began to emerge after months had gone, and they began to exclude a red light. Many said that the red glow was strengthening their body, and peoples began to meditate and learn martial arts to manage the glow. However, approximately four months later, all people over 50 years who had done so had perished; those who had been hopeful soon became hopeless and realized that the red glow consumed their life-force in order for them to become strong.

After humanity had been halved over the past four months, individuals discovered sentient monsters employing magic.

This led to the discovery of a blue power that was absorbed from the outside and compressed inside. As magic became more widely employed, people began to harness its elemental powers to safeguard humanity.

The core of monsters were utilized to make a means of communication and projection, and those numerous creations were employed to amuse humanity.

Gold, silver, and copper were used to monetize civilization, and associations and governments were gradually developed. It took humanity five years in total to regain their lost equilibrium.

Everybody had identified with the new government, which has been constructing cities gradually.

As they began mapping, they discovered that all seven continents had been merged, a single, massive peninsula had formed, and everything had been built from the core. Based on the level of danger, that vast continent was divided into seven zones.

Year 2035,

The semi-lit, 20-meter-long room featured a desk with a name plate, a black book-like object projecting a hologram, and a man leaning on his chair behind the desk.

The man appeared to be in his mid-30s, with dark brown hair and brown eyes with dark circles beneath them.

The name plate displayed,

THE ASSOCIATION CHAIRMAN, PARK OH.

====

Park oh, the chairman of the association, has assigned a team to locate the remaining survivors, rumors are circulating that the government has disregarded the plea for extra assistance.

====

He grinned at the news displayed on the hologram and leaned back in his armchair.

"Stupid jerks. Why, in God's name, would I look for survivors?" He expressed displeasure, as if he were waiting for something.

He chuckled and licked his lips, thinking, 'I'm looking for new predators to cause a panic and seize control of the remaining power from the government of those imbecilic young people.'

"Those green horns who know nothing want to run the government," he grumbled. He was aware that they held more power than he did, which did not sit well with him.

-Tzzz

His thoughts were interrupted as his wristwatch vibrated. Leaning forward, he took the call.

" Report."

- "bzzzzt We discovered a new bzzt monster and suspect it to be a bzzt dragon."

As he listened the report, his eyes arched and he smirked.

'PREFECT!'

- "No survivors bzzzt were located, but the dragon bzzt we did find appears to be bzzzzt intelligent and is a frost dragon."

- "bzzzt estimated elements include bzzzzt water and bzzzzt ice"

"Well done. Please try to kill it. I'll deploy additional reinforcements."

He nodded to the information, sat back in his chair, and started thinking.

'I'll have to make it look like the mission was a failure and make those green horns take responsibility for it'

He had no intention of sending reinforcements, and if they failed, he would have the government take responsibility; if they succeeded, he would take full credit.

Year 2035. INDIA

Earth seemed to have returned to the age of the 'DRAGONS'.

An arch of clear crystal-like spikes protruded from the ground, and an ant-sized figure with snow white hair was seen striding majestically in the middle of the arch, at a region that was entirely white and covered in ocean blue crystals. Each crystal was the size of a boulder.

DAY OF SURVIVAL X

I eventually arrived at the cave that would be my haven from the icy winter and where I could store enough shattered dragon bones for crafting after much searching.

The cave the man entered included a kitchen, a bedroom, a crafting room with numerous crafting tools, and a furnace area with a dying fire. To the right of the furnace, numerous shattered, cracked, twisted, bent, and uneven weapons could be found.

I lit the flint I had set next to the furnace the last time I used it, placed the dragon bones inside of it to melt them, and took my sword, bow, and arrows from the subspace before exiting my cave and rushing towards Frostine 'the frost dragon.'

Hmmm... She may have nicknamed herself THE ICE QUEEN, but I don't know...

"Today will be the 100th challenge."

We've fought a total of 99 times previously, and because I've learned everything from Frostine while battling, this will be our final battle.

"I'll definitely defeat her today...for sure."

I went towards her lair, doubting my own confidence and suddenly my instincts started screaming at me as if something horrible was unavoidably going to happen.

I ran at full speed and utilizing mana since I had learnt to trust my instincts the hard way.
