[ The Beginning of Nightmare Day-1 ]
February 20, 2025...
The blue sky above was clear with clouds, causing the heat coming from the sun to illuminate the ground freely...
Although it was hot, reaching 29 degrees Celsius, the dots of countless people walking below were still visible above.
In the chaotic park, countless people could be seen happily walking around, their faces carried mixed emotions as they walked within... Unhindered by the heat of the sun as they enjoy their time.
"Mom, Mom, look! There's a clown there!"
Holding tightly the brown teddy bear in his left hand, a child at the age of 5-6 pointed toward the park opposite them happily, the innocence within his black eyes was apparent as he looked toward anything in curiosity...
"I see, do you want to buy a balloon?"
Seeing the smile on her son's face, the woman sweetly smiled, pointing toward the countless balloons the clown was holding as she asked her son softly.
"Yes! I want the red big one!" Hearing her mother, the child immediately jumps in excitement, causing his chubby cheeks to wiggle slightly, giggling as he tightly held the hand of her mother.
Impatient yet leisurely walking toward the clown in the distance, the eyes of the child wandered around, gazing toward the far horizon in amazement... happening to see humans exiting a gray ban from afar...
Their faces were covered in devil masks as they carried heavy backpacks with them, wearing thick dark jackets even though the temperature in the place was quite high.
However, due to his innocence, the child only smiled and waved at them before rushing toward the distance excitedly.
"Hello, how much for the red balloon?"

In an instant, another hour happily passed by.
The child's face was covered in dried yet wet ice cream, hiding under the veil of the ceiling above as his eyes gazed toward the small car in the distance... the smile with a hint of sweetness and childish within couldn't be concealed as he occasionally released a soft giggle.
(It's usually easy for people to get irritated upon being under the intense heat of the sun after minutes.)
"This, a protest?"
Tens of meters away from the child, a man holding a newly purchased console could be seen staring at the far distance in curiosity, slowly approaching forward, also wanting to gossip...
"Son, do you still want fries?"
Exiting the comfort room (Cr) in the far distance, the woman approached her son, quite satisfied that her son didn't become anxious after leaving for a while.
"Mom, they are walking toward that noise..."
The child didn't reply, just pointing toward the far distance in curiosity, wondering why people were walking in that direction.
"Hmm..." Hearing the faint sound of arguing in the far distance, the smile on the woman's face instantly vanished before being replaced with solemnity.
Raising her head, she could already see that the people in the far distance slowly becoming anxious...
Staring toward the unknown in slight fear and anger...
As she was pondering within, the crowd in the distance suddenly released an angry and fearful shout, instantly turning chaotic as some people rushed forward, while others immediately retreated...
Causing some people to fall toward the ground upon being pushed by the panic crowd.
"This..."
Shaken, she saw a woman and a small child being pushed accidentally by the man behind her, causing them to fall toward the ground heavily as the child within her grasp cried in pain...
"Araw don't leave this place okay? I will help them..."
She solemnly said to her son before rushing toward the distance without hesitation, intending to help the child and the woman in the far distance...
With the distance of her son toward the chaos/riot happening in the distance, he wouldn't be exposed to any danger... Moreover, people wouldn't hurt an innocent child.

Author's note: I already uploaded 140 chapters yet the beginning of the apocalypse was still unclear... (I decided to create chapters related to the beginning of the apocalypse as the story progresses... since the MC only awakened after 2 months of being wisp...)
