Episode 1 - A Trash

Year 2078

Our world has been set into a hell. We lost a lot of lives and everyone suffer through the hell. A virus that come from nowhere infected random people and turned them into a different person. Some of then turned into a dangeroys monster that eat human and animal. Not just human, even an animal could be dangerous when they were infected.

My name is Liez Caryon, 20 years old. Still growing. I have a normal life, nothing bad happened to me. Well that was because I and the other survivor are living in a safe place where a wall was built to avert some disaster like virus speading. The wall was still in building process and it just 25 meter tall. The wall first build ay 2025 said by my mother. She was just a kid that time when he witness the wall on build and getting taller at 2047 when she turned 17. I was born when my mother turned 28. My father died because of the natural disease he suffered. My mother is still alive. She was hanging a clothes outside since it's morning today. I was doing my job helping people building the wall as usual. We planned to make it 50 meter tall. So I and the others helped each other collecting resource from the outside. We wears an equipment like masks, a clothes with no space for the air to get in so the virus will never get in, we also brought a weapon. Why? Because we got an enemy.

Outside of the wall, there is people who are infected and turned into a monster. There was also a greedy people who want to steel resource from others. That one was the one we're hoping to never come or none of us ever become one. We've fought one before. They lose but they said they'll returned and destroy this place. So I was worried at first but its been 2 years and they never came. Maybe not now, maybe when they are ready to collapse us again. In my place, we got different kind of genius. We got a doctor, a scientist, an engineer, an architect, a builder, a fighter, an archer, a collector and more genius. Even some of a normal civillian here is a genius. But everyone have to act for their duty, except me! Why I'm free? That because, my father was the ruler of this place. We named it The Caryon Fortress ruled by Caryon family. Now my father has died, my older brother took over it. Don't worry, he's a genius like the other. I'm just a regular person who worked with others. Well my brother is 27 years old. He's 7 years older than me.

The other day, I went to the main bulding where I and my family live. The building is almost like how an empire era is. It was like a castle, byt a bit smaller than how it was in a movie. Before my father died, he told me that this castle took 30 years to finish since that time only a few people know how to work properly and just a few architect working on build. We collected a new survivor right after the wall finished the first process, 25 meter.

By the way, I've never fight one of the monster yet and only got to see them from far away. I don't know how they attack us all and how they infected us. I've lack of experience on fighting. But hey, I did learn some fighting style tho. I also love to learn archery, especially when I got to learn it with my favorite archer, Qathrine, she was a leader of the archer guild. But she's just a year older than me. Our relationship is almost like a sibling. But we end being student and teacher. I learn a lot of bow technique from her. She wasn't originally from here. She was found outside without mask, surviving alone. At first, she was being told to be infected since she was found without wearing mask. Virus can get people infected through air. But she become someone like an importanr key for doctors. As the main doctor of our place, Doctor Scale, did a theory that the virus are dead during a minutes after getting out from the host body. It was just a theory from the doctor, not really confirmed. It was all because of Qathrine's existence, our fortress recieved a lot of hope to go outside and explore around. But that dream need to be perfect, so our fortress made a guild of different army just like what I mention. What guild am I in? I'm free by the way. I can just leave the guild and join the other one.

So inside the building, everything has been decorated and colored. It look as beautiful as view of the morning day. Thanks to Mr. Yirez for helping my brother for decorating and giving an idea about how that and this suppose to look like. It was all part of the genius mind of Mr. Yirez. Both with my brother too but he's good at ruling. So that's the reason why my brother was choosen. Well, I came to this castle because it was finished and my brother have a meeting of the 11 genius person. I wasn't included. I was invited because I'm part of his family. While walking through a hall to find a room where the meeting was supposed to be, I saw the 2 genius walking infront of me. Mazeth and Cruise, both of them is walking together. Since we have a meeting, I should follow them from behind. Turned out while following them from behind, they were whispering about a trash. Trash that has been fiilled max the storage. I heard all their conversation. Look like this topic will be the first important topic to be discussed. Right when we enter the room, there turned out I'm the last person to be in. Well I'm not part of the genius. My brother standing right infront of us and welcoming us to the meeting. My brother start to introduce himself even though he was known well in this place.

"Welcome everyone, its nice to see all of you here. I'm the ruler of this fortress, Azus Caryon. The purpose of this meeting is to make this rendezvous as our time to share topic and settle 'em together."

Just like how I predicted, the topic of these two would likely be one of the problem we'll deal with. Everyone there each to each person introduce themselves until my turn and that one lady who I've never seen before.

"It's a pleasure to meet you all, my name is Juliet Narold. I'm the 11th genius. I took part of the economy system. Thats my job from now on as the genius here."

As she introduced herself to us, she sat down and stares at all the genius. The meeting was about to start. My brother, the ruler of this fortress allowed us to share a problem about this place. I was waiting for that, but no one was raising their hand. When my brother was about to say something, Juliet raised her hand. My brother than gave her a permission to talk.

"So the problem I'm going to talk about is about a pile of garbage has been filled the storage and reached it's limit."

Finally, these 2 Genius is too slow. Mazeth, Cruise, are you really a Genius? Mazeth genius of war, Cruise genius of academic. I don't understand their situation but really, this is the first meeting. Its like why not you share some problem you got. Now she took it. She'll get the appreciate word, not you two.

"As you heard, a storage where a trash are filled has been full. Some of the trash are fell out from the storage. We need to make a garbage removal activity. We need a worker that can go outside and throw it as far as they can if the place didn't have a monster over there."

Looks like I got a job. I wanna do it with the other. So I have to bring all the plastic of garbage outside eh. Its a simple task but we have to throw it far away so its gonna be like 5km from the fortress.

The first meeting went just for 1 topic. The problem that was shared by Juliet will be under her care. 5 of the archer and 10 of the fighter with sword was sent to the Garbage Removal team. I later joined them as I had nothing to do. Life without a job is really bad. I experienced it since kid, having no work make me gone crazy since I only have 3 friends and we barely meet each other. A date system is still the same. Today is 13 March 2078. Nothing special about it. My mother will moved to this castle and find her own room. We've discussed before with my brother about having a new family member, a new father. We disagreed so we never had a new father. That was also how my brother become a ruler of the fortress.

The trash that was piled on the ground will be brought out from the fortress. I and the other who participated in this activity is ready to go outside the wall. Before we went out, the guard above the wall take a look at the outside if it safe or not. There was nothing dangerous outside, so we're safe to open the door. Everyone was ready to go outside. We've equiped full clothes anti-virus made by Doctor Scale. The door slowly open to route us outside. The car full of a garbage was drove by 2 horses. We also brought some weapon for our safety even though we've never been in battle with those infected.

When we arrived the place, looking at the area, looking safe. We put all the garbage on the ground. It smells pretty bad though. So we went back to the fortress to bring another group of garbage, or rather a trash. After a few attempts, the trash storage is now completely empty. Even if the storage is still filled with some leftovers garbage, atleast it's good to put more of useless things inside there.

Problem solved.
