LONE: The Journey Beyond-Chapter 20: Effects of the Awakening.

Author's Note:

>> This chapter is rated [R-18] for r*pe and violence. Do not worry; this is not a FMC.

I wanted to show the dark side of 'The Advent'. The truly fun chapters will come soon.

ENJOY!

"It's Red Alert, sir."

'Empress.' Reven ordered in his mind as he listened.

[On it.]

Hundreds of news portals came into Reven's view as he learned about the situation.

[Reven, the President is calling.]

"Connect me."

"Greh, I think we should start the plan at the earliest. The situation is unfolding rapidly.

Also, I am sending you to the Outer Circle of Astraea; the number of victims is highest there.

I am thinking about enacting the plan within a week.

You will be in-charge of the Outer Circle of Astraea for this year until the situation there stabilises. I am also sending the other members of the MHS to different parts of the other provinces." The President informed.

"Roger."

-----

In the Outer Circle of Astraea, the living conditions were in no way good. It was more like a slum.

The hygiene and sanitation here were a total mess. It was really a blessing that the people here are getting food to eat twice a day.

Crime was rampant! It reached the point where thousands of victims were listed every day.

This had become a headache for the ISC. If there had been no Awakening, then this problem would not have occurred.

But when Awakening entered the equation, everything changed.

With Awakening came power; with power came greed and the desire to dominate the weak, and with that desire came tyranny.

But...

The people seemed to forget that they were not the only ones with power.

They forgot what they were doing to others could happen to them, too.

-----

In a small cottage in the Outer Circle.

"I beg you, please let me go." A woman could be seen. Her dress was torn apart, and multiple bruises covered her entire body.

She seemed to be begging a man who looked more like a beast than a human.

The man seemed to be smiling as if he were enjoying the woman's begging.

The woman tried to cover her breasts and her lower body with whatever amount of cloth she had left and begged, "I have only one daughter; please let me go. She will have no one."

But the man didn't listen.

He simply ignored her begging and approached her with lustful eyes. He slowly removed his clothes and then took off his pants, revealing his di*k, then jumped on the woman.

The woman cried out in fear, "Please don't do this. What have I ever done to you?"

The woman's protests were in vain, as the man ignored her cries and tore apart her remaining clothes, revealing her ample body.

Then, like a beast, he started sucking her breasts as he pushed his di*k into her hole, and started fuc*king her.

Aah! Aah!...

AARGH-!

Screams of pain echoed from the woman's mouth, but the beast ignored them, and the debauchery continued.

The man r*ped the woman in cold blood.

After ten minutes, the man stopped.

The body of the woman was covered in blood. Her lips were deformed, her vag*na was oozing with blood, and different parts of her body were cut. It was unclear whether she was alive or not.

As for the man, a piece of flesh fell from his mouth as he smiled like a beast. No, the bastard was a beast.

At this moment, another girl entered the room and chuckled, "You fu*ked another one to death."

The man started to stroke his di*k up and down to masturbate as he said, "That's the 68th woman I fu*ked this month."

The girl came forward as she positioned her mouth to give the guy a bl*wjob and continued, "That is what we enjoy. This feeling of being in power is really good."

"Hell yeah! But, heal her to some degree; I like this one's cries. I will use her a few more times to quench my thirst before sending her to heaven."

Ugh! Anggh!!

The man said as he cummed inside the woman's mouth.

"Okay, I will heal her." The girl replied as she used Ardor to wrap around the woman on the bed.

Mnnh…

Arrgh!

Soon there were visible changes to the woman in bed.

"Now then, focus on me." She stated as she undressed and put her pus*y in front of the man to fu*k.

The man complied and pushed his di*k inside the woman as they fu*ked without any care of the world.

Little did they know...

-----

While the man and the woman were having their debauchery, Reven arrived at the Outer Circle.

He was already aware of the situation and couldn't help but sigh in sadness.

The humans were still not understanding what was happening right now.

A fuc*ing portal was opened in their sky, but they were simply busy destroying each other rather than coming together and supporting each other.

He then put Empress to its 'real' use.

"Empress, hack the systems of everyone in Astraea: Outer Circle. Authority Code: MHSISC90112003."

Though it looked immoral, who were we kidding? Sometimes immorality could be the agent that brings out morality in people.

[Checking authority.]

[Sufficient authority.]

[Granting access.]

[Bypassing the systems.]

"Show me all the crime cases with proofs."

[15789 cases reported.]

"Show me all the suspects reporting r*pe with proofs."

[653 cases reported.]

"Show me the damn footage." Reven spoke with a strained voice.

Hundreds of videos came into Reven's view. He silently watched them, continuously changing the footage one after another.

Soon he viewed the footage of that man, who was currently indulged with the woman.

Sigh!

"They say women are the biggest enemies of women for nothing." He muttered in melancholy.

Then his eyes turned cold.

"68 huh. I wonder how you will feel when I make a bloody 69 out of the both of you."

He vanished from his spot and arrived in front of the cottage.

Knock! Knock!

"Aah~! Who the hell came to disturb us?" The woman tried to get up to open the door, but...

Reven burst open the door and came inside.

"You…"

The man seemed to say something, but Reven completely ignored him and looked at the woman, who was lying on the bed with serious injuries.

'Scan her.'

[Scanning completed.]

[Analysing the subject.]

[Completed.]

[Health Status: Critical.]

[Multiple deadly wounds are detected.]

[Chances of Survival: Low.]

[Immediate treatment is advised.]

Reven looked at the naked man, who seemed to be frigid because of the bloodlust he was emitting.

Even though he was an Awakened, he hadn't had any real fights, so facing Reven felt like facing an unsurpassable mountain to him.

"Do you have a first aid box?" Reven asked emotionlessly.

"Y-Y-Yess… W-We h-have one." The man stuttered as he ordered the woman to bring one.

Soon, the woman brought the first aid box. And then…

Thud! Thud!

Both the man and the woman were knocked unconscious by Reven with a jab to their necks.

He then started to treat the woman using whatever he had right now.

After about 10 minutes.

[Ambulance is here.]

Hmm.

Reven nodded.

Two people came inside the house and silently walked towards the woman, gently carrying her on a stretcher to the ambulance.

A doctor also started to look at the condition of the woman as he turned to Reven and said, "She will not live, and even if she does, she will be a cripple."

"I will do the surgery myself." Reven replied.

"But, sir…"

"Empress." Reven cut him off and sent his doctor's license to the guy via Empress, which silenced as well as astonished the guy.

Soon, some army officials also came and arrested the two criminals.

Reven sent the details of all the crime cases to the soldiers and ordered them to detain the criminals within a week.

After that, Reven left to attend to his patient.

Author's Note:

>> This chapter delves into how the life of a common person like us will be impacted if something like 'The Advent' truly happens to us.

I hope you got to realise the hard, cold truth of the fragility of human life through this chapter.
