Survival Records of 3650 days in the Otherworld

“We’ll finally be there… in their world.”

The two men stood proud with vicious smiles.

“Yes. We’ll finally have a chance for vengeance.”

The others who stood nearby also gave vicious grins.

“Hey, Hawk! Did you hear? We can finally avenge our mother!”

“Yes! And our friends!”

A large bell sounded, and a man’s thick voice was broadcast from a speaker.

-We are now finished with the minimum required amount for the Demon World invasion. We thank you for your support and hard work. The emperor sends his royal family’s special whiskey and highest grade wine as your reward. Also, we have food prepared for us by our Great Mother in the great hall. You can now stop work and come to the hall-

Everyone cheered in excitement. But it wasn’t due to the food or drinks, or even the rewards.

“WE’RE DONE! THE INVASION WILL BEGIN!”

“IT’S TIME FOR REVENGE!”

People shouted with joy.

“Sir, everyone’s excited.”

“Yes. It’s the day that everyone has been waiting for.”

“Yes, sir. It’s already been nine years.”

“Right. It has been a long wait.”

It had been a long wait indeed. After the Gate opened nine years ago, people fought hard against the monsters unleashed upon them. The empire was well prepared for monsters and kept its people safe and sound, but the other kingdoms weren’t. They did not heed the empire’s warnings and that resulted in their kingdoms left in ruins from the monster rampage.

The small towns and villages were abandoned by the nobles and their kings and they were left to protect their own from the monsters running rampant. But they were helpless against the horrific monsters.

One of the men, Gilter, remembered his old town. On the first day, his father was taken away by the monsters while trying to protect his family. Hidden, they had to watch their father being ripped apart. And on the second day, his mother and sister were taken away. And on the third, his brothers were taken as playthings. They ran around while being hunted for a sport before they were eaten alive at the end.

The day after that, Gilter just stared at the dried-up blood on the ground. There were bits of flesh scattered around, which had been his family until a few days ago. He just stared dumbfoundedly.

‘Monster.’

Monsters appeared just then. He had to hide, but he couldn’t control his body. Death was upon him. It was then that a silver light shone. And as it shone, the young monster screamed in pain. There were more screams of pain, pain and anger mixed together. And moments later, he was jolted back to his senses from the screams of the monsters.

What made him do such a thing? What part of him allowed him to do this?

By the time he realized he had run toward a monster that was skewered full of arrows and pounded on its head with a rock. He managed to crush the head and monster stopped moving, but he kept on pounding on it. He could barely raise his hand but he still kept doing it.

-Wow, you’re one heck of crazy bastard. Hey, how about you follow me? I’ll give you a chance to be mad. There’s a lot like you.-

As he looked up, a giant man was smiling down at him. He declared.

-I am Hallis. My father is famous for being a Mad Dog. As am I.-

The people that had gathered here were the survivors of the other kingdoms that the empire was able to rescue. It was natural for them to want revenge.

“Gilter, we should go. The whiskey will run out fast.”

Gilter then looked around at the almost empty factory and moved toward the hall.

Three years quickly passed.

The Khalodian Empire focused heavily on preparations. What Jackson did first was to let the world know about the existence of the Demon World. They warned the world of the danger and its existence which shocked the entire world. The surviving people of the world had been through many dangers already. They quickly realized the danger that Khalodian shared and began helping prepare the empire for the invasion.

Soon, the Emperor of Khalodian, Joonbum, declared a crusade to the Demon World. Many countries quickly agreed to join.

The three years passed quickly. It was the best days of the world without the danger of monsters, and it grew quicker than ever before.
