Mainland 01

In the year RE-500, a scientific discovery was made that pushed humanity to newer heights. The Keltar potion was born, allowing humans to extend their life beyond expectations.  With this discovery, Humans found that they could live for 380 to 400 years. The human body grew stronger, no longer succumbing to major illnesses. The rapid rate of cell healing and generation had multiplied ten tens over.  What a glorious discovery! No doubt, the world was in a joyous state. But with this blessing came a sharp rise in Crime.  To counter this, the World Administration, called the ‘Absolutes,’ not only declared the Death sentence Void... but also created a far ‘better’ solution for these many criminals with now longer lives – Mainland 01! … In a massive courtroom, a young man had his eyes lowered to the ground. He was innocent. He knew he was.  Now, it was time for the court to decide his fate! Bain thought matters would seemingly end with justice always prevailing. However, how could his journey begin if it were that simple?

A Disturbing Night

Bain reached for the blades underneath his pillow, caution flashing through his eyes.

He was about to move closer to the wall and stick his ears to listen in. But before he could get out of bed, a rain of bullets flooded the wall.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Bain rolled to the other side of his bed, quickly covered. From the booming sounds, it's clear the bullets were a mix of all sorts.

The walls had holes of many sizes, some the size of 2 fingers joined together. The bullet flashes from the room fired were not the only things that peered through these holes.

"Quickly! Shoot the couch! He's behind it!!!"

"Hahahahahaha~... Bastard! Do you dare to steal from the snake gang? This is what you get!"

"Ahhhh!!---... It was a trap! He was behind the bedpost all along! Quickly, take cover!"

"Rooney! Rooney's down!... Mark too! Hyu Jin!..."

"Dammit! What the f***k are you little girls doing? You claim to be men, yet you can't even shoot the little punk down? My niece can shoot better than you!"

"Boss, you have a niece in the outside world?"

"Asshole! Is that the point?"

"Boss! We're shooting with everything we've got. But the little sh**head is just too slippery."

"F**king pansies! Do you think I care about that? Shoot him! Sh** down that motherf**er now!!!"

---

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!~

Bain's heart skipped several beats, listening to the gangsters on the other side obliterate the place.

Machine guns cried, and several weapons of all handheld sizes might be used by the gangsters who belonged to this Snake Gang.

For a moment, all he could hear were the sounds of bullets raining, things breaking, and people yelling.

Soon, the yelling men suddenly stopped, rushing forward into the room with heavy steps.

"Dammit! How can he escape through the window? We're high up on the 4th floor! Bah!- ... It doesn't matter. Shoot that monkey bastard to death!"

Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang!~

Bain looked out his window to see if he could get a glimpse of the escaping figure.

The person had the appearance of a 17-year-old. He had a black backpack and a playful look, not taking the matter seriously.

He even waved at them after reaching ground floor. Of course, he dodged the bullets like an agile monkey. He made what he did look like child's play.

The strange man was about to leave when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Bain peeking from the room next to his.

He squinted his eyes and grinned. And for a moment, Bain didn't know what to think.

Eh? Was he spotted?

The man no longer paid attention to Bain but dodged the raining bullets while fleeing the scene. Of course, he continued to anger the things above.

"Thank you for the package!" He said, waving his hands at the angered group. "It was really fun!"

Boom!

A massive mushroom cloud of fire appeared, almost consuming the running man.

That's right. The thugs had begun raining bazookas into the streets. This was an ordinary, everything thing—no need to get so worked up about it.

"Damn assholes! This daddy is trying to sleep!"

"Bastards! Just pray I don't f**king know who you are or by tomorrow, I will have your motherf**king asses!"

Many people from nearby establishments screamed in annoyance.

One of them was so annoyed that he opened his window and focused his sniper rifle at the bastards causing the ruckus. "Why wait for tomorrow?"

Bloody bastards!

Some of them are trying to get some damn sleep here!!!!!

The sleep-deprived gangster took aim.

~Thup. Thup. Thup!

The sniper bullets flew, killing 2 people. This made the gang stay away from the windows for the time being.

"Boss. What do we do? That weasel has already fled with the package!!"

"Dammit! ! You c**ksuckers don't think I know that? And by the way, where are the others who went down to chase after the bastard? Why haven't I seen them leave out the door below?"

Yes... Why?

"Mr. Ignus... Maybe my boys and I can shed some light on the situation."

What? Since when did this group get here?

Everyone saw a massive gathering of men and women in suits standing out the open door.

Oh, sh**!

They recognized the one at the very front.

"Boss Oden... What, what a pleasant surprise?" The gang leader was inwardly cursing at his f**ked-up luck while giving a humble smile at the one he called Boss Oden.

"Pleasant?" Oden calmly walked into the bullet-riddled room. Several of his men followed suit, following the space in a blink of an eye."

"A broken tv, shattered bed, broken sink... Walls filled with holes... Mr. Ignus... I'm afraid you have the wrong impression of what 'pleasant' means.

But since this is your way of understanding it, it wouldn't be fair for me not to follow your example. After all, you are my guest. And as they say, the guest is God... Kill."

~Bang!

Oden's men shot at once, killing every gang member except for him, the boss. They were so fast that the snake gangs couldn't react fast enough.

"I... I... I..."

Plop.

The snake gang leader fell to his butt, crawling backward with one of his hands while using another to raise his gun at Oden.

"You, you, you..." His voice was shaky.

"Oden, you bastard! What the hell do you think you're doing? I've been your customer for 5 f**king years now. So does this not mean anything to you?"
