Chapter 1:A New World
Kros slowly opened his eyes after overcoming the dizziness of the world-crossing teleportation. He felt a suddenrelieve when the tooked a long deep breath of the air, no wasteland air can be this refreshing and clean.
He struggled to stand up and lean on a wall next to him. The pain and dizziness of the teleportation was still affecting him, by a lot. Nevertheless, he was so eager to see what kind of world he was in that he ignored the dizziness and pain.
Slowly walking to the side of the "platform" he was on, he saw hundreds of highrise buildings around it. This one is one of the highest among those. The buildings are old and poorly maintained, but for Kros, it is much better than those ruins in the wasteland.
"Finally! I am out of that damned wasteland!" Kros said quietly to himself. He is a calm person, calm but twisted. 'The wasteland will change all who dare to live within it, and you do not have a choice.' That is what they say in the wasteland.
After taking a few deep breath near the edge of the building, Kros walked back to the spot where he landed, checking his stuff.
The machine was perfectly fine, no smoke and cracks, and the displace of it reveals that for the next teleport, it will require 8,000,000 units of energy. Kros clear the machine before kissing it, "you are my savor... the real savor.."hemuttered to himself, then puts the machine in his makeshift backpack.
He checked his only weapon, a .357 calibur revolver with about 2 dozen rounds in his belt. He knew it is not going to be enough after seeing a high-tech armed aircraft just flew pass him.
He reloaded his revolver and packed his bag, Kros is ready to go. A hard kick is enough to open a rusty door, that's what he thought, and it turn out right. The door banged to the side of the wall and bounced back a little.
With a sure grip of his gun, Kros walked down the stairs one by one, the sound of heavy boots step of metal has echoed all over in the stair way.
The building is really tall, maybe about 120 floors, but Kros didn't went all the way to the bottom, he stopped when he saw a blury sign that says "Floor 83 Exit". Just like before, Kros kicked the door open, then he saw something he will never forget—a city that is layer on layer, buildings on top of other buildings, broken wires hagging out, and the amount of people there... Kros just never seen anything like this before.
He made a little taunty smile on his face, "This will be interesting...This brand new world..."
