Sudden Call

"Finally on time!" Peter released a deep breath as he stood in front of the back door. He opened the door and entered.

Inside the room, there was a middle-aged man changing his clothes. As he saw Peter, his eyes lit up "You finally arrived, kid! The restaurant is packed with people today. You might have to work a few more hours."

Hearing his words, Peter's mood only got worsened "What? I have college, remember? I have been late for three days straight. And, if I get late this time as well, I might get suspended."

"Well, you can handle it. Just tell some crazy story how you met a Soul Defender on the way who was saving some people and you needed to help him." The middle-aged man smirked as he finished his words and walked away towards another door.

Peter sighed and went to change his dress as well. He wore a white and black dress and a special watch as well. Soul Defender is the name given to an awakened person. This name was specifically chosen to boost their morale to save the world.

Before the awakening ceremony, Peter also wanted to be Soul Defender and protect the earth. But when his dream was crushed, everything faded away.

He quickly arrived at the main room. The main room was divided into two sections. Expensive or private section and cheap or open section. He normally works in the open section since most people choose to stay on those.

After working for two years in the same restaurant, he was pretty popular with the regulars.

"Oh my God! He's very attractive. Why is he employed in a restaurant? If he tries hard enough, he may easily land a role in a film." One of the girls at a separate table mumble as he serves the food to other customers.

She was encircled by other girls who continued nodding in agreement to her statements. Peter wasn't extremely attractive, but he was still at the top of his game. This is one of the primary reasons he took part-time work in a large restaurant like this.

"Sigh! Sadly, he already has a girlfriend; else, I would have asked him out." Another girl sighed deeply as she spoke. She was dressed in trousers and a shirt. Although she wasn't particularly attractive, her style was endearing. Seeing his friendly smile, her eyes beamed with bright yellow light

"Just keep dreaming! His girlfriend is said to be one of Isolon's most beautiful women. Isn't her name Camellia?" The girl next to her snorted mockingly, but then became melancholy and mumbled. "How could he get a girlfriend so quickly? It's not fair."

Even though her voices were low, several of the customers heard them and chuckled. Peter maintained the same cheerful demeanor when serving others. He had a positive attitude and a dazzling smile in front of the crowd. He respects others and communicates with them politely.

"Mommy, Mommy! I don't want to be as attractive as that big brother." A tiny boy sitting on a middle-aged woman's knee spoke with an innocent and cute expression. He was about six years old.

When she heard his statements, the middle-aged woman was taken aback and questioned, "Don't you think it's a good thing to be an attractive young man in the future? Look how those girls fell in love with his good looks and became dumb"

"Mommy! That's why I don't want to be attractive. Father said that if you become gorgeous, you will be cursed and pursued by some stupid girls. In the end, you'll pick one of the dumb girls and marry her." The youngster spoke with another naive smile.

"Oh! Did your father compliment himself on his good looks?" Hearing her son's statements, the middle-aged mother exuded a frightening air while clutching the fork in her hand.

"Uh-huh!" When she saw her son nod, she clenched her teeth and added, "Son, let's visit your aunt's house today, okay?"

Even though her son doesn't comprehend why she said that he nods his head.

On the other side, Peter murmured, "Girlfriend huh!" as he clutched the tray in his hand.

Peter was a dashing young man. And he was bound to attract female attention. But there was a minor hindrance. His current girlfriend was a Soul Defender, while he was just a regular restaurant worker. This bothers him from time to time.

And, many times, he was on the verge of breaking up with her due to frustration. But love is a mysterious thing. And it was only because of his girlfriend that he realized this. Two of them appear to be from different worlds, but they wind up spending over three years together.

Peter was not pessimistic, but he was also not hopeful. Following two years of breakdown, he has forged his heart to remain neutral in all situations. Even though he laughs, cries, shouts, or sings, his heart remains unmoved.

Peter doesn't understand whether he was simply cold or friendly. He wanted to save the world. But now, he doesn't know what he wants. He only feels envy and jealousy of other awakeners including his girlfriend.

But surprisingly, he has never lost his temper. Up until now, it felt something triggered his envy to reach an even higher state. But, still, his heartbeat was normal even when his anger and envy reached the top, his heartbeat didn't change.

That's why he was able to move ahead with conflicting with that person. Peter knows that. He has already assumed the reason as well. But, he didn't want that. Whether his sister awakens or not, he doesn't want his feelings to change.

He doesn't want to change what happened three years ago.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the watch on his wrist vibrates, jolting him out of his reverie. He dashes inside the kitchen and returns the order to the customers.

"Hey, Peter, your phone is buzzing." When Peter comes close to the kitchen, a man shouts from the rear room.

Hearing this, Peter requests a little break from the chef and proceeds to the back room. When he checked his phone, he discovered the caller's name.

Camellia

"It's strange. What made her call me at this moment?" Peter is perplexed, yet he nevertheless picks up the phone.

"Peter! Can you hear me?" Camellia yells into his phone, causing him to frown. Her voice was laced with dread and anxiety.

"What happened? Are you having a problem?" Peter unconsciously recalls the episode from the news and responds angrily.

"Thank God! I assumed communication towers were demolished. Nonetheless, hurry up and return home. You should teleport to the northern coast right away." Camellia yelled anxiously on his phone.

"What happened?" Peter shouted.

"The monsters have escaped from the western coast. Hurry up and use the teleporter to escape." As soon as she said that, the phone suddenly lost its connection.

"What about you? Are you alright? Hello! Hello!"

Beep! Beep!

Peter tried to ask.

Unfortunately, he didn't get the reply he wanted. The call was cut off.

He didn't stand still and hurried to the head of the restaurant. He was also the executive chef. He was currently cooking in the kitchen.

"Head, head, we got a major," Peter screams as he runs in.

"Monsters from the east coast are making their way here. We must evacuate."

"Huh! What are you babbling about? Why isn't there any news if that's the case?" While speaking, the Head Chef turned on the television in the main area.

"Alert!" "Alert!" "Alert!"

"Monsters from the Eastern Coast have arrived in the center of Athens. Please use the teleportation to get to a secure location."

"I say it again! The Eastern Coast Monster has arrived in the heart of Athens. Please use the teleportation to get to a secure location."

The video cliff abruptly collapsed, bringing the restaurant to a halt.

"Run, everyone! Run!"

"How did those creatures get to the heart of the city?"

"How come Soul Defender isn't defending the east coast?"

"Who gives a damn? This is not the time to have a discussion."

"Hold your child and flee."

In a matter of minutes, the restaurant had devolved into pure anarchy. Everyone dashed out of the restaurant, disregarding the lives of others.

"Can you hear me, Anne?" Peter called Anne right away. When Anne answered the phone, he said, "Anne, use the teleportation instantly! Call Mom and Dad and ask them to utilize the teleportation from their office."

"However, Mom and Dad have gone to the Southern Coast. So, how about you? I can't leave you alone and flee." Anne screamed from her chamber, her legs were trembling.

"I'll catch up later, or even tomorrow. I won't be able to get home in an instant. Monsters have already arrived. DON'T MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF AND USE THE DAMN TELEPORTATION." Peter yelled from his phone as he dashed away.

Peter wanted to cut off the call but suddenly, he heard the scream.

"Ahhhh!"

When he looked around, he discovered that the monsters had already arrived. He looked at the lady on the ground nearly fifteen feet away. A blue wolf-like beast charged towards her at incredible speeds.

But it was still a long way away. Peter was at a loss as to whether or not he should assist her. But then his phone rang in a loud voice. "Brother, promise me you'll come back! If you lose even one bit of your body parts, I will never speak to you again."

"I swear to you, sweetie."

'Damn you, god! Damn you, fate! All of you are playing with my dreams, playing with my goals.' Peter cursed as he turned around. He didn't what's going to happen next. But, he knew he was taking a risk that he shouldn't take.
