Chapter One - Epidemic
“Aghhh,” Zander spat out, utterly exhausted, as he wearily hurtled himself down on the torn apart sofa. Sheer tiredness now suddenly a heavy burden like how the titan Atlas bears the weight of the world, he fainted, entirely oblivious to the ear-damaging horns and the chaotic mayhem just across the rubbish strewn street.
With uneven breaths, he painfully awoke 3 hours later, only to hear a drunk bloke shriek, at the top of his lungs, “Screw the Black-Rule Party!” Slowly recalling the outbreak which cost him an excruciating pain in the eye, he remembered about the 2264 US election where the corrupt BRP won the majority of the seats.

Caught off guard by the staggering structure, he missed a sneaky alien positioning himself to backstab him. Just as the alien was about to strike, a single snowball whizzed past his ear at the speed of light and the target’s left eye popped out, causing his body to instantly collapse as if gravity suddenly increased by 1000%. Dumbfounded, Zander tried to figure out the owner of the painful beauty, but to no avail. Suddenly, an icy hand gripped his shoulder firmly from behind.

Dreading the moment, he slowly turned around and was greatly shocked when he saw his utmost
