My name is Akan. Living in this dark age there isnt a real use for anything. Every machine has long ago died out. Electricity has become a thing of the past. The light is scarce. About a hundred years ago, A large being dubbed "Harma", appeared on this planet and wiped out everything. There was little left on this planet, a number of roughly twelve thousand people survived the destruction it caused. Every accomplishment in the history of mankind ceased to exist. People had to learn to live for themselves once again, to not rely on a machine to do everything for them. Which brings us to the last remaining settlement of humankind, a city named Babylon. Thousands of years ago, God destroyed the city of Babylon never to rebuilt again. Until today that remains true, the city still lies in ruins, somehow we managed to at least make it to be inhabited. Tunnels were dug under the ground so as to inhabit the people and small areas of the city above the ground were cleaned and made to be small shelters for the scarce amounts of food to be stored for the people.

"Is this really such a bad thing? You're living isnt that what is important"
"Why would living in a time like this be good?! How could this life be important?!!"
"What is important to you?"

The people seem to just move along as if nothing is wrong. Smiling, everything is okay. I can't smile, I can't be happy. What is there to smile about? Human kind is just about extinct, there is barely enough food to survive, my family has also been destroyed by the spawns of Harma. As Harma proceeded to destroy this earth he left his seeds along the earth to hatch and destroy more planets and worlds. Harma himself might have been the spawn of another beast like himself. I cant forgive this, I cannot live as long as I'm constantly faced with the burden of killing my family.

My mother, my father, and cousin all risked their lives to save me, and lost their lives for it. As the spawn of Harma landed on one of the watch towers an immediate state of emergency was called everyone was to go underground. The beast shot spines from his back and blocked the entrances to some of the tunnels, one of those tunnels happened to be ours. We all struggled as hard as we could to move the spine out of the way to escape this beast. He landed right down in front of us, I still see its smile, the wickedness in his smile, he enjoyed seeing us run, seeing our fear made him happy. We managed to move it open enough for me and mother to get through. He saw this and attacked us. He shot a spine at me, and I closed my eyes in horror as I saw my mother jump in front of me. She saved my life, if only I had done something to stop her. I was motionless, My father and my cousin somehow managed to get me inside and as they did, I saw them meet the same fate that mother had just been greeted with. I wont forgive myself for letting them die.

"Is it really your fault?"
"Of course it's my fault! I could have done more, but I did nothing"
"Could you really have done anything?"
"I could have done something, I could have been the one to die, she could have survived!"
"Is surviving really important?"
"My survival means nothing to me, their survival meant everything to me."
"But they did nothing to help their survival, they did all they could to make sure of your survival, Isnt that important?"

I heard a loud crash, running outside I saw an enormus creature. His smile just as wicked as that of that spawn that killed my family. Was it him? I couldn't worry about that, I could get my revenge on this beast for killing my family. That's all I cared about. I had found armor, and weapons that were left behind in the ruins of the city. I restored it to how it used to be. I equipped all the armor, a sword, and a spear, and proceeded to charge the beast. I was met with many spines layed on the ground. I noticed they formed a way for me to get the beast. I started to climb them quickly before he flew away, I saw him killing more townsfolk. Laughing in one persons face and squeezed him in his hand crushing his bones.
"You seek to ruin this planet, Geddon will end the pain you cause this planet"
I knew this voice, Geddon.. that was his name, I climbed towards him he saw me, I saw him rush towards me and as he grabbed me he flew away and landed on a nearby mountain

"Why do you seek revenge?"
"You killed them all, that is why I seek revenge"

The voice in my head, I knew where I had heard this voice.

"Is revenge important?"
"You killed those who I loved its important that I return the favor" At that I threw my sword at him. In vain it was though. He slapped it away without even an effort.
"Why do you seek death?"
"Why is this life so important?! Nothing has been accomplished other than pain"
"And running away is the solution? Would running accomplish anything?"
"I'm not running!"
"You seek to end the life that was protected, the life that others gave theirs as to ensure that you continued your life, you seek to run away from this life to make your problems end, to make the pain you feel go away"
"Is that wrong!? Why should I have to feel pain?"
"Why is it that you feel pain when the others around you find reason to smile? Can't you also find reason to smile?"
"What is there to smile about?! I have nothing!"
"And yet you have everything, Living is everything. Live for them!"

"You have to get to school Akan! ..Get up."
Mother!?!?

I awoke in a strange enviornment. There were lights and many strange things around me. I didn't know what was going on. I looked at the metal human as it walked towards me. Bringing me strange clothes and telling me the date. January 2100, I've been given everything again. But how? Why? I guess it doesnt matter. To live for them, That is what is most important, that is what I'll do.
