Chapter one: The Beginning

Hi, my name is Shizuo Kazami, but everyone calls me Sheno Kai, my life was pretty much like any other teenage kid's life: school, homework, video games etc. But that all changed, I remember it like it was yesterday. I was walking from my school to the game store for a new game that came out, I had heard how awesome it would be so I wanted to try it myself. I was right across the street from the store, when I happened to look up and saw a giant light hurtling towards the earth, and all of a sudden there was a blinding light and I woke up to a wasteland with people running, and scurrying away from the light, so I did the same.

It wasn't long until it reached my area, in an instant I felt sick, sick to my soul like I was going to die. But at the same time, I felt purified of all my evil-doings like I had just been reborn... Izikama was on the ground passed out I rushed to her.(before I get carried away, Izikama is my girlfriend we've been dating upwards to a year. Anyways back to my story.) She was on the ground passed out so I rushed to her side and tried to shake Izikama awake, but it didn't work. I tried again, it still didn't work. So I did the last thing I would ever do, I slapped her awake and it finally worked. I helped her up and we both ran to the bunker under my house. We shut the doors and we sat there. We sat there so long it felt like a year, after what seemed like half the day, we emerged and what we saw was horrifying. There were bodies everywhere and walking amongst those bodies were lost people, people like us who had survived the initial blast, and what I assumed had been fall-out that caused most of the chaos.

Once we got out into the chaotic ruins, I said "are you okay?" She said "yeah, but if you slap me again you'll be one of those bodies." I scratched my head and said " it was the only thing I could think of, considering the situation." So there we were two lost souls standing there amongst ruins of our once peaceful town, I wondered if this had been a worldwide catastrophe. If so, was the whole world like my once quiet town? Was it just layers upon layers of ruins and dead bodies, with near dead people limping and shuffling on top of it all?
