Narration:
The scene shifts into a rainy night on a mountain peak in Chattagram, Bangladesh.
A Chinese man with messy black hair was wearing a lungi. Rain poured over his body, and he held a ram dao in his hand (a big machete-like weapon). In front of him stood 100 unknown demon-like creatures. He slowly said,
"Come, madarchods (aka sweet creatures)…"
Then the scene shifts three years ago.
My name is Xiao Huang.
I was 20 years old.
I liked to try different cuisines from different countries. At that time, I was standing at Dhaka Road 8, enjoying a famous dish known as kala bhuna. I was completely focused on my food.
Suddenly, above the busy road of Dhaka, a gate opened, and demonic creatures—like soldiers of King Von—came out.
At first, people were just shocked by what they were seeing. They thought it might be some advanced hologram or something like that.
But that misconception broke really soon.
One of the monsters grabbed a man who looked to be in his 80s—maybe someone who had lived through the Bangladeshi Liberation War.
And then, with a single snap, it tore the man in half.
No time for screaming.
No time for reacting.
Nothing.
The internal organs and blood of the man poured like rain onto the faces of the people standing nearby.
Almost immediately, chaos broke out across the entire busy road.
People were dying—some from falling to the ground, others from being trampled to death.
After all, Dhaka was one of the most densely populated cities in the world.
At that moment, while I was still enjoying my food, not knowing the chaos happening in the neighboring street—
BAM!
A man fell near the restaurant in pure terror.
"Bhai! Sobai palan!"
(Aka: Brother, everyone run!)
Hearing that, I stared at him, confused. Before I could ask what was going on—
SQUISH!
The man was blasted by something.
My face froze in shock.
With a terrified gaze, I slowly looked up.
A terrifying creature stood in front of me.
It had six heads and a body like a lion.
Its face was absolutely horrifying.
Its face was half human and half demon. Somehow, I managed to escape that abomination after it got distracted by the arriving police and army. Three hours later, I finally came out.
The monsters were no longer there—only towers of bodies and rivers of blood in the streets. Buildings were burning, everything reduced to wreckage. It looked like hell itself. Fear, shock, and disgust crept across my face as I continued to walk forward.
Suddenly, a notification rang on my phone. It was a global warning.
High Alert: Unknown creatures have struck different countries. During these events, many people discovered a special energy—Mana. Scientists explained that when the gates appeared on Earth, along with the monsters, a high level of life energy also entered the world. Some people have now learned to cultivate it.
My brain froze.
Wait… what? Mana?
The same thing I read about in fantasy novels and manhwas…
It's real now?
