Ares: Never Grow Up
PROLOGUE

POV: Author

In an empty life like an empty paper, it would be beautiful with ink poured on it. Like the dream of a little child who is still innocent and innocent, and the reality of the world is sharp and bitter.

The figure of the little boy was staring straight at the window with a blank look, his bangs were thick to cover his eyes, as well as his thin body and many bruises and wounds.

The child's dry lips continued to mutter while staring at the starry sky. Inside she said, she told him of a beautiful dream she had seen in her sleep. Thousands of stars continued to blink as if they were happy to listen to the story of the child.

After the story, the boy fell silent. Her lips tightly clenched, she slowly closed the window.

POV: ???

TINN! TINN!

"HEY QUICKLY WALK! I'M ALMOST LATE FOR THE OFFICE!"

Ah .. boring routine. The city is always noisy. He thinks he's the one who's scared late? Doesn't he think everyone has the same interests?

"Consideration, subway number 658 is coming soon. Pay attention to your footsteps when entering the vehicle, for those of you who want to get off, make sure your luggage is not left behind."

"Surge! I want to be in the front queue!" A fat man grazing this queue pisses me off. I looked at the man with a dislike gaze ever since he was standing in front of me.

"What?! Your face is so upsetting! Don't you have manners for the older people?!" The man seemed to realize that I was staring irritatedly at him, hmp.

I smiled wryly as I looked at the man shorter than me. "Sorry, my mother didn't teach me to be polite to pigs" I replied which made the man glare straight at me.

"WHAT?! WHAT DID YOU SAY JUST NOW?!" The fat man slammed his briefcase and pulled my collar hard.

"Pig. Didn't your mother teach you to queue well?" ask me with a cold tone and a warm smile. My words succeeded in making the man hit me hard in the face.

BUGH!

I fell backwards, a lot of people started calling the security guards.

"YOU YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T KNOW MANNERS! YOU ARE! YOU!" The fat man who got angry was now confronted by two security officers. I smile triumphantly, well ... victory doesn't just mean defeating the enemy does it?

If he's banned from taking the subway, he'll be late for work. The stakes are reprimand, a drop in salary or rank, or the worst is getting fired.

"Are you okay, son? That guy is so upsetting! It's a good thing you took the right step by not replying to that guy's punch!" A mother with a vegetable bag approached me and helped me stand up. I smiled a little then immediately stood up and tidied up my work shirt.

"It's okay, ma'am, such a person should indeed be taught a lesson" I said with a smile.

"You're right! There's-there's people like him!" The mothers were grumbling in annoyance. After that, the mother returned to her queue in the middle row, while I was back in the front queue.

The huge commotion that had just happened, disappeared as if it had vanished from the face of the earth. No one talks about it anymore, something like this is instantly forgotten.

Oh right, my name is Ares Andrias. I am just an ordinary man living in modern times. I'm 26 years old and I'm not married. I'm not really interested in marriage. I work as an office worker with an IT management position. Hm, it may be true that I am an ordinary human being, my skin color is not too light and not too dark, black hair, but I have golden eye color. Some say it's beautiful, some say I'm a monster because of the color of my eyes. But yeah, it's just the past.

The place I was waiting in line was an open space, in other words outdoor. Although there has been a notification that the subway will come soon, but usually we still have to wait another 10 to 15 minutes.

Whuss.

"Hm?"

Why is it suddenly dark?

I looked up at the sky, but as I know today the sky has only a few clouds.

And sure enough, what I saw in the sky was not a cloud, but a black body like a circle that was getting bigger and bigger.

Wait ... is getting bigger?

Doesn't that mean it's headed here?!

I turned my body quickly and ran out of that subway queue. Some people who realized the same thing as me, immediately came running.

"GIRSTYBIRDS! I DON'T WANT TO GET HIT BY THAT THING! I GOTTA GET OUT!"

"HELP ME FIRST! I STILL HAVE A BABY AT HOME!"

"MOTHER! AYAAH! HUEEE!"

The noise started to happen everywhere. The subway door is too small. Even the evacuation door has also been opened but can not help to get out the subway users.

Children who cry because they see adults panic, the elderly who have resigned wherever young people take them. I too am rushing to get out of this place.

"PLEASE DON'T PANIC! IF YOU PANIC THE MORE YOU GET OUT!" shouted one of the security guards who was ignored by the residents.

Nging.

Shit, it's too late!

ROHR!!

THE WHUSSSS!!!

The object that fell hit dozens of people who were still in the subway stop area. The sound of the explosion and the earthquake it produced managed to make this place instantly collapse. The wind created makes the humans bounce out along with the debris of the building.

THE SRAKK! BRAKK!

"Ukh .. akh!" I was silent for a moment and felt my arm and my head hurt. It seemed like my arm had accidentally landed on a rock, as well as my head.

I was still lying on my stomach and trying to lie down, my eyes staring at the giant object that was standing upright in front of me.

A rocket? Science failure?! What the fuck?!

I still think that it was a rocket launched by researchers to research space but it failed. But when I looked the other way, dozens of the same rockets were stuck in almost every area, the large size of which made it easy to see. Many tall buildings were destroyed when the rocket landed.

"What ... what? Why is there so much?" I tried to sit down, putting aside the pain I felt. I looked towards my arm which was now spitting out fresh blood.

Looks like it scratched a sharp stone, thank goodness it didn't break.

I had to mess up my hair that I had neatly arranged to check my head. It looks the same.

Cleats.

"Huh?" I looked up at the rocket. The iron and zinc slabs that enveloped the rocket are now flaking. Until it shows the original form of what the rocket carries.

A giant red tube.

THE TANG!

One by one the bolts from the tube came off, making the tube emit red gas. I stood up again and was about to run.

THE TANG! TANG TANG TANG!

WHAT'STHAT?! IS THE TUBE GOING TO EXPLODE?!

DDUUUAARRR!

WHUSS!

DUAR DUAR DUAR!

The whole rocket went off in a row all over this town. The red gas that was originally only leaking a little, the chemistry made the entire city, engulfed in this strange red gas.

I never would have guessed that from here my life would change.
