PROLOGUE

It was 2 p.m. at night.

Param was lying on his bed while reading his favorite web novel written by his favorite author Sovereign1996. His house was at the fringes of the city, away from the posh area where one would require three generations to buy a small place.

Suddenly he felt a tremor on the ground, and he furrowed his brows. He turned his head, only to see bright light entering and lighting up his entire room.

He became curious and put his phone down. He reached the only window in his room and glanced outside, only to be shocked. His heart froze in terror as the scene entered his eyes.

At the center of the city he saw a huge cloud of dust rising into the sky. A sphere of light enveloped the city, and was growing larger and larger, as it continued traveling towards the fringes. Param had seen this scene many times on the T.V. and the internet.

It was a nuclear attack!

The shock-wave arrived along with the high temperature, and Param who was standing near the window was burnt to crisp within a few seconds. The building which housed his apartment blew up in pieces, and soon the entire city disappeared from the face of the Earth.
