Grieving in sadness and fear, tears fall and fall like rain, depicting the sadness of a hidden feeling.

Some of us just want to live a peaceful life, like sleeping in a flowery meadow with someone we love beside us.

Until finally we know that it was all just a fantasy.

12:16 The War continue

'The war zone looks like a nightmare with corpses everywhere'

10:45, Victory was in sight and they managed to repel almost the entire enemy force.

However, all of that was destroyed when the enemy forces brought out even stronger troops, the troops pushed back the agency and the military.

Experienced troops suffered several injuries while protecting others, the whole situation turned around where the agency and the military were in critical condition.

"Is it only..up to here??" The experienced soldier was panting, exhausted from facing the overpowering enemy forces.

One of the enemies advanced at high speed and prepared to hit him, but his arm was blown off by something.

"Are you okay, or do I need to take you to a lumbar specialist?" Seo-woo walks with his joke, finally entering the battlefield.

"Hmph, what do you kids understand about this old man?"

"Now, it's time for us to kick their asses."

Seo-woo arrives with reinforcements and some supplies, It turned out they were people from the neighboring town on the highlands.

'Lee Hyun-woo's escape place before arriving at the new city'

"Why?" One of the soldiers asked those who helped him.

"It's a long story, in short we can't just let our country fall apart, right?"

Technology is developing rapidly so that natural resources are almost limited, especially with frequent conflicts.

However, the previous presidents had met and discussed this matter, even though some countries refused to join, those who accepted helped each other and built each other up.

Not only externally but also internally, which fortunately was successfully resolved through fair agreements with the right people.

"Looks like we have an uninvited guest.." The experienced soldier looked ahead, where an enemy was walking with his body protected by armor.

"We are not only someone who is fighting here, but at the front he is also struggling."

Lee Hyun-woo, who was at the front, charged forward while being blocked by hundreds of troops who never gave up.

*How many of them are there?!*

Lee Hyun-woo didn't waste any time and quickly slid forward while delivering a very powerful punch, his punch managed to open a path forward and he immediately ran and jumped to the 2nd floor.

*Jumping in the air for too long is too risky, luckily most of them are still on the 1st floor.*

Lee Hyun-woo thought as he ran towards the third floor, until suddenly he was confronted by a group of enemies with full weapons and one of them was wearing armor.

*I guess, I was expecting too much...*

*But, that armor... the aura feels intimidating..*

A nervous Lee Hyun-woo paused for a moment waiting for them to attack, but the person wearing the armor who is in the back row was suddenly in front of him and immediately knocked him to the 4th floor.

Lee Hyun-woo who was on the 4th floor gasped, unable to believe what had just happened.

*Luckily I managed to block his uppercut earlier.*

*Just look at him, walking with that terrifying aura..*

That's what I used to think, but now I'm stronger and I can't waste my time on things like this.

"Let's get this done quickly."

Lee Hyun-woo immediately charged towards him very quickly, his enemy who saw him immediately launched his punch but suddenly Lee Hyun-woo disappeared and was behind him.

Lee Hyun-woo kicked him in the face which sent him flying, but he didn't stop there. Where Lee Hyun-woo chased after him who was still in the air and kicked him right on the back which launched him to the roof and broke his back.

Lee Hyun-woo caught up to him and hit him right in the face again, as they landed on the 16th floor.

"The armor is stronger than I thought.." he said while gasping for breath for a moment.

"Now, now, are you guys going to make a move or just watch." Lee Hyun-woo looked back slowly and saw a group of people looking at him.

Lee Hyun-woo's face became serious when he saw one of the 5 people with armor is in one of the groups.

"Damn.."

"Give me a break."

The enemy troops immediately attacked Lee Hyun-woo, who was silent looking at the 5 enemies wearing armor.

Lee Hyun-woo was beating up the enemies like it was no problem at all, until suddenly one of the enemies with armor is behind Lee Hyun-woo.

"There you are-"

Lee Hyun-woo who aimed his punch at the armored enemy noticed another one next to him, he immediately kicked Lee Hyun-woo who was thrown into the next room.

Lee Hyun-woo managed to block the kick, and he who was thrown away was now seen standing in the messy dust of the office.

"Let's try full power."

Lee Hyun-woo seen smiling and swung his hand from below to the front with full power, the blow creating a strong wave of wind that slowed them down.

Taking that opportunity Lee Hyun-woo stepped forward and immediately defeated one of them with a hard blow to the stomach.

"One down."

"Let's see how are you going to take these blow."

Lee Hyun-woo who managed to defeat one of them felt confident, until they took out their weapons.

*Oh-*

Lee Hyun-woo dodged one of the sword attacks by using a metal chair as a shield, and he also avoided a sniper shot by throwing a table to obstruct the view.

*Sniper at close range? What is this, a video game?*

As the third enemy swung his sword Lee Hyun-woo managed to hit him first, and took his sword to slash him directly.

"What materials did they use for this?"

However, when the 4th enemy attacked Lee Hyun-woo his slash was blocked by a shield.

"Wha.."

Lee Hyun-woo is stabbed by a sword in the waist, but he was able to repel them with his slash.

"Ugh.."

Lee Hyun-woo immediately moved to avoid being shot by the sniper who was moving here and there, with this unexpected condition, he had to find a way out.

Where Lee Hyun-woo made the room even more messy, and threw his sword at the shield user and immediately hit him with one blow to the face.

Lee Hyun-woo threw a shield at the sniper, and dueled with the sword-wielding enemy and managed to knock him out.

Meanwhile, the sniper launched his shot which missed at first, but was reflected back because of the sword that dropped by the enemy and scratched Lee Hyun-woo's cheek.

Even though he managed to hit Lee Hyun-woo, he was still defeated and was knocked to the floor below.

"That was very good, but not strong enough to beat me."

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Seo-woo and the experienced soldier were seen successfully defeating the armored enemy even though the soldier was injured in the arm.

*It was really a tiring thing..*

"...No way, there is another one?" Panting Seo-woo looked at the vanguard who had managed to repel the enemy but one of them stood still wearing armor.

Those who couldn't believe the situation were silent, Seo-woo looked anxious and confused about what to do, until.

"Leave everything to this old man, you go help the others."

"But, your hands.."

"Why? Just because my hand is injured is that going to stop me?"

"Believe me, we've been through worse than this. Isn't that right, my comrades!"

His face just smiled when he shouted that, but I could feel the burning passion inside him, and for some reason I could even feel his friends supporting him.

*This is not the time for me to sympathize, I have to help others.*

"I'll leave this part to you old man."

The old man just smiled as he raised his sword with one hand, he was ready to handle them all.

Now I have to check the other parts, especially the bunker where they took shelter.

Where those who were taking shelter were watching those who were fighting outside through the surveillance cameras, and Siyeo-Ma who saw the old man shouting his encouragement just remained silent.

"Isn't it too cruel if you give training without rest for a full 3 days?"

"They could die you know."

Siyeo-Ma, who still looks very young, asked Park Ji-nam about this, but Park Ji-nam herself just laughed while drinking her juice at a cafe.

"Too cruel? They are stronger than you think, and one day they will be free and shout their hearts out."

"Because they all always think about becoming stronger, with strong principles and a brave heart. I just need to be the shepherd for those wolves, right?"

Her smile depicts a spirit that never goes out, truly unforgettable days.

"Shepherd, huh? More like a queen of beasts isn't it...or maybe a monster."

"Hahaha.."

Siyeo-Ma stroked the head of "Park Min-ji" who was watching together, as well as the other children and caregivers.

"Will he be okay?"

"Park Min-ji" pulled Siyeo-Ma's shirt feeling extremely worried.

"He promised, didn't he, and he will definitely keep it, doesn't he always come like that time, remember?"

Siyeo-Ma hugged "Park Min-ji" to calm her down, even though the situation outside was chaotic, they also tried to keep believing and not make a fuss inside the bunker.

"Park Min-ji" who hugged Siyeo-Ma, closed her eyes hoping everything would be okay with a teardrop on her face.

15:31. '99th floor a small garden'

'The clear sky turned dark, and cloudy, dark like this battlefield.'

'This darkness is like the darkness of a person's life without light that remains throughout his life.'

Lee Hyun-woo who almost reached the last floor, he had to face someone who really wanted him on the 99th floor.

Lee Hyun-woo's mother stood in the corner with a figure covered by a cloth standing beside her.

"Welcome home, son."

Lee Hyun-woo stood in front of the door covered in blood, with a blank stare.
