Ashur's Special day
It was January 29, and Ashur was celebrating his seventeenth birthday. Living in the vibrant capital of Iran, Ashur had much to look forward to. His family—his loving parents and younger brother—were everything to him. Soon, he would be starting university for physical education, and today was a day of celebration.
The house was filled with excitement as Ashur's family gathered to celebrate his special day. He received numerous gifts, but two stood out above all the rest. These gifts were not just ordinary presents; they were two exquisitely crafted swords, a testament to his parents' love and thoughtfulness.
Ashur carefully unwrapped the packages to reveal the swords. The first was a blade, crafted from gold and a rare, valuable stone he had discovered years ago. This stone was unique and mysterious, and the sword's golden hue made it gleam with a majestic aura. The second was a katana, custom-made from special materials and colored a striking red.
These swords were not just weapons; they were symbols. The blade, with its golden color, reminded him of his father. The katana, with its vibrant red, symbolized his mother. His father had invested a great deal of money and effort to turn these materials into something so extraordinary, reflecting his deep love for his son.
Ashur cherished these swords not only for their craftsmanship but for the love and significance they represented. The blade and the katana were more than just gifts; they were a connection to his parents, a reminder of their support and affection. As he admired them, he felt an immense appreciation for his family and their devotion.
He also thought about his grandmother, who had always been a source of warmth and adoration in his life. Her love was an integral part o

Ashur and his brother were admiring their beautiful gifts and swords when suddenly the ground shook and the sky darkened and lit up. They felt dizzy. A screen appeared before their eyes. His brother didn't understand what it was. He asked Ashur, crying, "Ashur, I want to stay alive. Help me." Ashur quickly went to him and held him in his arms. His brother was crying. Since Ashur had read many stories before, he knew what was happening. He understood this was the beginning of the end times he had anticipated. He focused on comforting his brother but didn't know how. The sky darkened again. The shaking stopped, but there was a noise coming from the next room. They went inside and saw their mother attacking their father, biting and choking him. It was terrifying. They were scared. Ashur quickly grabbed his sword and tried to separate his mother from his father, but it was difficult. Eventually, he managed to do it. His mother had turned into a monster, like the zombies from the stories he had read. His father had been bitten. Ashur knew that something terrible awaited them. His mother saw Ashur and his brother and tried to attack them. Before his mother could attack, Ashur drove the sword into her head. It was very painful. She was screaming in agony. They saw their father exhibiting strange behavior. His father had also been infected. Ashur tried to steady himself, determined to protect his brother from the world. He embraced his father, whose eyes were bloodshot and tearful, and then, using one of the swords, he cut off his father's head. It was very painful. A system notification dinged in front of his face: "You have earned two hundred experience points. Congratulations." Ashur didn't hear what was happening in the world around him. His brother was crying and shouting at him, "Brother, what is happening to us? God help us." Ashur, with anger and bitterness, looked up at the sky and said, "Whoever you are, I will take revenge for my parents. I will destroy all of you." Ashur repeated these words loudly several times. There was a lot of noise outside. Ashur didn't know what to do. He grabbed the swords and tried to calm his brother. He comforted him, though he didn't know how.
He hugged his brother, who fell asleep crying in his arms.He placed his brother in his bed and then went to look out the window,
