by Akarthus

Kros was a scavenger at the nuclear wasteland, Earth. He WAS a scavenger. His life changed when he stumbled across a wonderful machine. A machine that will teleport the user to a different world after consuming a large amount of energy. Kros did it. He find the energy to get him out of this god-forsaken-land. But will he have peace in the other worlds? Now... We shall see...

3. Chapter 3 Legal Residence

A gun shot sound is echoing though out the slum streets, and the man on Kros' left felt pain floating though out his body. My chest hurt
style="font-family: Georgia; font-size: 16pt;"... He slowly looked down to his chest, it will bleeding like a tap. When to turn his sight towards Kros, he saw a revolver pointing at him with some smoke coming out.IS IT MY END?

That's the last thought ever. His eyes closed while his body fell straight to the ground, leaving a pool of blood under his body.

His buddies are stunned by his death, both of them didn't move an inch, but Kros is calm as he normally is. He did a quick tornado kick to his head that sent him flying across the street. Unfortunately, as the street is on top of each other, he fall off. This is at least a 20-floor-high fall, and Kros don't think he will be able to survive it.

Now Kros turned around, with the revolver against her head, he said the exactly the same thing they said before, "Hey dude, I'm short on credits, you mind borrowing me some?"

The girl's body is shaking due to fear and shock, tears starts to run down her cheek, but she still took out one of those semi-transparent card and hand it to Kros, "T...This is...all we...got.."

Kros took the card over and put his gun back to his belt, "Good girl, now be gone."

After the girl fled for her life, Kros took a careful look at the card. The card is light blue, about 2mm thick, very light, there is only a number that said 186 and the other place Kros think for name remain a blank.

"Ok...lets see here... 186 credits and...No name? Probably any one can use it.." Kros murmured to himself and left the other witnesses in shock.

He knew that this part of the slum is somewhat like the wasteland, if people fear you, you won't have much trouble. And he is the expert on surviving in the wasteland, this place is nothing new for him...Except people are less wary and aggressive also the air is much better, not to mention the safety... Much better than the wasteland.

Kros made that taunty smile again, although is well hidden under his gasmask, and starts to walk to the other side of the city, which looks better than the slum.

"It is time to get a permit or something like that."
