Chapter-2

Arriving at the bustling theme park, Weifeng parked his car amidst a sea of vehicles, the air alive with the sounds of excitement and laughter. The park sprawled before him, a vibrant tapestry of colors and activities beckoning visitors to immerse themselves in its delights.

Brightly painted roller coasters soared into the sky, their twisting tracks casting intricate shadows on the ground below. The rhythmic churning of gears and the exhilarating screams of thrill-seekers filled the air, adding to the energetic ambiance.

Around every corner, whimsically themed attractions awaited eager patrons. From spinning teacups to towering Ferris wheels, each ride promised its own unique brand of excitement and adventure. Children darted between attractions, their faces flushed with excitement as they eagerly queued for their turn at the next thrilling ride.

Interwoven with the rides were charming shops and stalls, offering a tempting array of treats and souvenirs. The scent of freshly popped popcorn mingled with the sweet aroma of cotton candy, drawing hungry visitors to snack stands adorned with colorful banners and twinkling lights.

How did he know there would be a rift opening here. It was from his memories the protagonist had many experiences including that he had to research about which rifts opened in the past.

At a table, there were many individuals but the focus of the group seemed to be on the male who was at the middle as the table had books scattered all over the place and a projection of the globe as dots appeared on it. They were the dots of rifts which had opened in the past. One after each was explained and through of well the ones which were related to the thing they were trying to research upon.

That included many rifts which had opened in the past.

With a wave of his hand, the person manipulated the projection, zooming in on specific regions and highlighting key points of interest and explaining as other people also chimed in.

Then why was here at this theme park. It was because on this day around this hour, a rift would open here. Aside from the reason that he wanted to awaken, it was also to confirm whether the information was correct or not. As half an hour soon passed, there seemed to be an anomaly that seemed to be happening as the surrounding wind seemed to stopped and the wind seemed unsettlingly calm. Sirens started to noise heavily as the loud speaker started to roar.

"ATTENTION EVERYONE! THIS IS NOT A DRILL. A RIFT IS OPENING NEARBY, PLEASE EVACAUATE TO SAFETY, I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL"

The entire theme park was in a chaos. Many people started to run as people started to panic and leave the theme park. cries of some children were heard as their parents took them away.

Moments later, the air crackled with energy as a rift began to materialize, emanating a purplish transparent smoke that billowed ominously. Within moments, the park, many buildings and blocks were enveloped in a shimmering bubble which couldn't be seen from the outside. But that it gave enough time to solidify that people were able to escape.

After all the people had evacuated to safety it seems as the entire park was lifeless. He waited as monsters started to pour from the rift. The monsters were wolves as they started to move to hunt prey. They were tier 1 monsters, the weakest of the weakest. But of course, they were still very much stronger than people who hadn't trained.

Alone amidst the desolate park, one individual remained. Weifeng looked at them through the window frame from the building inside the theme park which he had gotten into. He was at a considerable distance from these monsters as he waited. A pack of them seemed to come to his way as one sniffed the air as if it sensed something and started sniffing the ground. A glass bottle with a green substance appeared on his hand from his storage ring as some wolves seemed to smell him and moved towards him.

As they came closer, they scratched at the door and started to pound it and the wooden door which couldn't handle it much longer, broke and the wolves seemed to see him in the dark started to run towards him. Weifeng directly threw the bottle in front of them. The wolves not scared continued to move but as they stepped into the green substance and as they almost reached Weifeng as they pounced at him, started to twitch soon afterwards and lay dead as their skin started to burn touching the substance. The other ones who didn't touch it weren't in the clear as they started to twitch because they had inhaled the smoke emitted from it. Of course it didn't affect him. Why? it was because of the wolves had heighted sense of smell that even though the substance was not very effective nasally, it was very effective against them.

Of course that was only because these were the kinds of lowest tier monsters. He started to move towards the twitching monsters and killed them with his small knife which pierced their skin easily.

"I guess it was not the way either" He sighed as he said since he didn't awaken even though he had killed a monster. Why was he so calm when dealing with monsters. It was because it was not his first time seeing and facing such a monster. Of course it was also because of the future memories but it was mostly because he had been tested whether a scare would work to awaken his elements before.

Of course he hadn't faced the monsters in a fight but he wasn't scared either. But it seemed that he didn't awaken even though he had faced them and killed them which was the way that the protagonist had awakened, killing a monster but it seemed that it wasn't the same case for him. Of course what the protagonist faced almost a life and death situation but he didn't want to risk his life for just an early awakening which he can get with time. Of course some amount of risk he could take but unless it was necessary he wouldn't risk all of it.

"Now time to leave"

He thought as he tried to the end of the bubble and tried to go through it but he was stopped. He knew about this of course. They were very dangerous as they could trap people inside. He had brought a couple of escape talisman which can be used to escape these kinds of bubbles. But before he used it, he heard the scream of a girl.

"Help! Someone please help me" As he heard the scream for help, he stopped in his tracks. He sighed as he turned towards the direction of the voice and ran.
