A Thousand Years After...

The world is now in constant chaos and very hard to live in. Almost all signs of life in the whole world are wiped out and have been replaced by these purple like creatures who can change shape and destroy everything it touches. But even with all this, human life has somehow managed to survive by living in these heavily protected places called “Gardens”. Gardens are primarily run by robots and have few humans on them. One of these humans is a boy named Mikael. He is very well educated, good friends with everyone, but he isn’t very athletic compared to his best friend Raphael. They have been together since childhood and they promise to never break apart. But one day Mikael and Raphael accidentally went out of the garden and saw the outside world. They then got chased by the shape-shifting creatures and nearly got themselves killed. While Mikael safely went back inside, Raphael was trapped outside never to be seen again. Years later, Mikael, now an adult, tries to go out on an adventure to find his one and only friend.

Two boys were playing on the seemingly unending grassland in Garden #13, one of the gardens. "Haha, Mika, you're slow!" " The boy, who was covered in dirt and wore a white uniform-like shirt, yelled as he looked back to see the other boy, who was also wearing a white uniform, desperately trying to catch up to him but had to pause to collect his breath. "Raphael, could we get some rest?" "I can't catch up to you," he muttered as he knelt and sat on the green grass. "Haha alright," he agreed and proceeded towards him, gently falling face down on the grass alongside him. Mika giggled, making Raphael laugh as well.

"'m glad you're my friend Mika!" Raphael gave him a genuine smile. Mika was taken aback and turned away to cover his embarrassed expression, "Yeah, me too." "Are you heading to the lab for an interview?" To do those... What exactly are they doing there? Raphael inquired, "I forgot haha." "They conduct research to better protect the human body from harmful substances." Mika explained. Raphael, impressed by Mika's response, asked another question: "Then, if you pass the interview, what happens next?" ". Mika's face shifted as he looked down at the grass.

"If I pass, I might not be able to play with you as often, but..." "But? ", Raphael asked, a worried expression on his face. "I.. Mika remarked, hiding his face again, "I still want to spend out with you, even if it's only for a short period." "Don't worry, we're friends, aren't we?" Raphael said, laughing. He gave Mika a thumbs up as he reassured him. Mika nodded and smiled.

Then, in the skies, a bell rang, announcing that it was time to rest. "I guess it's time, Mika! See you tomorrow!" " Raphael got up and ran, waving farewell to Mika, who waved back. Mika then had a neutral, emotionless expression on his face. "Let us go home... Mikael," a small robot said beside Mika. Mikael nodded slightly and walked alongside the robot on the road opposite Raphael.

I will release chapter 1 in probably 5-6 parts, because of how long it is, but the chapters afterwards will just have 2-4 parts. This is my first story that I will publish to webnovel.com so I hope that this is a nice read for you guys {:
