Magus in an Apocalypse World

In the Recorded Year of 2050, Two and a Half Decades since the Start of the Apocalypse. The  Whole Human Civilization has been wiped off the World. Only Ruined Buildings that formed its former Glory. The Last Stronghold of Humanity fell to the Apocalypse, and the Last Humans in the Planet fought against the Apocalypse Alone. The ones that died first were lucky to have not seen the Current World. It was Horrifying... A man was fighting against the Undead from a High-rise Building Rooftop. He was cornered as he had nowhere to go. The Last Human City fell, and the only thing that was left for him was a Wasteland. His name was Arthur Ironhearth, The Last Human Survivor. He was surrounded by an Undead Horde that resembled a Sea of Bodies with no End. He didn't want to give up, but the future in front of him was a Cliff heading to Damnation.  He wanted to kill himself before the Undead eats his Body. He pointed his Rifle to himself, and as he was about to pull the Trigger. A Book from his Backpack shone in an Illuminating Bright Light. It was the Magus Book, The Random Book he found in a Store. It was abandoned, but it looked interesting, so he took it. Never did he thought that such a book would have power. The Bright Light illuminated the High-rise Building, and Arthur found himself closing his eyes in fear. The moment Arthur opened his Eyelids, He found himself in a Nostalgic Scene. In the Recorded Year of 2025, An Hour before the Apocalypse falls upon the World. A Third-Year Highschool Boy woke up from his nap with a shocked expression. He was Arthur Ironhearth, The Last Survivor that managed to Survive until the End. The Holder of the Magus Book. And the Future Magus in an Apocalypse World. [Be warned that the MC is Ruthless.]

The Two Officers that slept on the floor woke up from their Slumber. They looked around and found themselves sleeping on the floor. The Two Officers noticed that they got brought back to the Supply Room. They then looked for the group and found them in the Room. They didn't know what happened as they lost their consciousness in an instant. Lilith and Erika stood near the walls and glared at each other, While Arthur and Samuel completed their discussion. Arthur and Samuel seemed to be smiling, which signifies that they had a good middle ground that they could agree upon. A Good Terms and Conditions of their Contracts were enough for the two of them to be satisfied. They then shook their hands as a sign of their acceptance of the deal. The Two Officers finally heard their voices from afar.

Erika and Lilith didn't hear anything about the Terms. It would only get revealed after the success of the Arsenal extraction. The two of them were glaring at each other with Cold Stares. Lilith was angry with Erika's hot-blooded nature, while Erika got pissed off by this Silent Cool Girl in front of her. Arthur then walked over to the two of them and stood in front of Lilith as he whispered to her ears. "Your Uncle and I have a Deal. You can talk freely to him now, but the Core Information would still be unknown until only your Uncle and the two of us talk to each other without any outsiders."

Lilith nodded in understanding and stopped pointing her sword to Erika's neck. She walked towards her Uncle and began talking to him about the situation and what happened long ago in full detail. Arthur walked to the corner and leaned on the wall. He wanted to think about what Samuel said about the Arsenal. The Arsenal Extraction would be harder than expected. The Military-Grade Weapons were under the Police Station. Only the Police Chief could open it. The problem they had was the Undead below them.

Time passes by within the Supply Room as the Two Police Officers were confused about what was happening. Their Police Chief was getting along with the Students that come from nowhere, and it seemed that the Weapons in the Police Station would be split in half. But why would they split their weapons in half for some students? It was a simple question within their mind. With this in their mind, They then began talking with an arrogant tone towards Samuel.

"Why would you give Half of our weapons to Kids?" "Yeah, Who the hell are they?" The Two Police Officers began complaining towards Samuel. The Kids they were talking about could have killed them long ago. Where the hell was this arrogance coming from? That was the question on Samuel, Erika, and the Fat Police Officer's minds. The Two Police Officer then noticed their silence and thought they were in fear.

"Chief, It would have been better if you got killed by that Stray Bullet." "Correct!!! An Idiot like him would have killed us all." The Two Police Officers began talking with their arrogance in full motion. Erika then stood in front of them and spoke in a cold tone. "Stop it... You're disrespecting the Chief." The Two Police Officers hearing her began shaking and chuckled without any regard for the Noise.

"You Bitch!!! Do you want to die?" One of them pointed his Gun towards Erika. Erika was frozen while glaring at them coldly. The Police Officer stood in front of Erika while smiling. He then spoke with a creepy smile plastered on his face. "If you don't wanna-" Before the Police Officer could continue, His hand fell onto the ground. He had a shocked expression plastered on his face.

All of them then noticed Lilith standing right beside Erika. "AHhhhh!!!" The Police Officer screamed without any regard for the Undead outside. His voice echoed in the supply room. His Friend was shocked and quickly took out his Gun only to find a Baseball Bat being swung at his face. *PANG!!!* The Police Officer that was about to take his Gun found himself on the Corner of the Room. The Gun was on the Floor as Arthur kicked it away from the Police.

"Samuel, How did this two get in the Police Department?" Arthur asked while standing in front of the Police Officer in the Corner of the Supply Room. His face got broken beyond relief that he couldn't even scream in pain. Samuel sighed and answered without any change in his tone. "They are from the Recommendation Program..." Arthur then realized why the two were Arrogant.

"I see... Where did the Recommendation come from? Politicians or Cooperations?" Artur continued to ask as he wanted to know more about the Two Thug Police Officers. Samuel answered. "They came from the Military..." Arthur smirked after hearing the Word. The Military within each region was different from each other. They are under different leaders and have different goals in mind. "Well, I guess I can understand that. War needs Money to continue after all." Arthur calmly said as he held the Hair of the Rich Thug Bastard.

"Kid, That is going too far!" Erika wanted to stop the Kid from going too far, but Arthur stopped talking and slowly turned his head. He glared at Erika with his Cold Blue Azure Eyes. His Bloodlust was escaping his body as he remembered some unsightly memories from the descriptions he had of the two. "Don't try to stop me," Arthur said with a calm tone as he opened the Door of the Supply Room.

Lilith also brought the Police Officer that lost his Arm from her Sword. She dragged him and followed Arthur while the Police Officer was screaming like a pig. They found themselves back in the Windows where the Commercial Area could be seen. The Two Thug Police Officers were kneeling in front of the Windows and looked at the Commercial Area in front of them. It was full of Devastation and Undead.

"The Apocalypse World is a Dangerous Era for Humanity. The Moment you underestimate something. Your Head would fall from your body. It doesn't matter how little or thin they looked. It doesn't matter if they are rich or poor. It doesn't matter if they're weak or strong. The Moment they try to be hostile against you. Terminating them from existence would be the best choice. Even if they are your teammates, Betrayal is something Common within the Apocalypse. The World has gotten darker and darker since the Apocalypse. The Lights of the Civilization would turn off, and the Hope of Humanity would dim. It is a Dangerous time, so you would have to make dangerous choices. If it makes you a monster... So be it."

"What are you trying to say?" Erika asked as she didn't know what Arthur was trying to say with his speech. Arthur sighed and asked Samuel for his Firearm. He had a Simple Handgun in his Arms and pointed it towards the Window. He pulled the Trigger as a Thunderous Sound echoed. *BANG!!!* The Windows broke apart with pieces fall from the Police Station. Arthur then looked at Erika and answered her question.

"What I am trying to say is simple... Don't underestimate anyone, no matter how much biased you have been in the World before Apocalypse. If they are an Enemy, Kill them before they could even make a Move. It doesn't matter if it is an Old Human, A Child, or a Woman." Arthur answered with a Cold Tone as he kicked the Police Officers off the Building. The Police Officers fell from the Floor and splattered upon the Waves of Undead.

"This is a Lawless World. A Wasteland of Humanity's Glorious Era. This should be a warning for all of you. A Warning to note not to let your guard down. Don't underestimate anyone, no matter how weak and arrogant they seemed to be. They can still do more things that could kill you." Arthur said as he left the window and walked back to the Supply Room. Before leaving all of them, He stopped and spoke. "Prepare yourselves. We will go down to the Ground Floor..."

Arthur disappeared, and the whole group was in silence. Lilith didn't speak a single word, but she didn't have the same reason as any other normal people around her. She had her eyes sparkling like she saw a Gold Bar in front of her. The two of them were still considered as Kids from the Police Officers' Eyes. Even Samuel had that thinking within his mind. All of them forgot that even kids could be dangerous. Arthur reminded them that even kids were dangerous in this era. It was a bad thing to rule the Group in an Iron Fist. But if it makes people take his words seriously. Arthur would gladly do so...

The Silence engulfed them until Samuel decided to speak. "That was one hell of a show..." Erika looked at him and said. "How could you say that? That kid just threw two of our people off the Window." Samuel sighed after hearing what Erika said. He understood that it was shocking for such a thing to happen, but he understood what Arthur meant by his words.

The Current World was extremely Dangerous. Carrying your Bias from the Old World would be Dangerous for yourself and your Group. Arthur was willing to be called a Monster as long as his teammates would realize the truth of the Apocalypse. There was nothing that would stop the dark emotions within a human being from escaping from its confine. The Control of Society and the Laws they created had already disappeared. Nothing would stop anyone, and the moment you get caught by it due to your naivety. It would only be your fault. Your Teammates also might pay for it with you.

"I understand what you're feeling but remember the Kid's words and think about it." Samuel shook his head as he walked back to the Supply Room. The Fat Police Officer quietly went back with Samuel. Lilith also followed her uncle as it was time for them to discuss the Arsenal Extraction. They need full detail of the plan and a Map of the Police Station to create the plan.

While walking back to the Supply Room, Samuel was walking right beside Lilith. He then asked a question about Arthur. "How did the two of you met?" Samuel already knew how they met, but he wanted a full detail about it. Lilith looked at him and answered. "The two of us met in School during the Apocalypse. He was trying to focus on something when I appeared right behind him. He almost killed me because of that." Lilith smiled as if she remembered some good memories, Even though that was Two or Three Days ago.

"You really have strange taste in men, Lilith." Samuel shook his head as he couldn't help but think of his strange niece. Long ago, He always knew that she was different than other people. She didn't smile and didn't have any expression other than her neutral face. But after the Apocalypse and meeting Arthur, It seemed that she was going off her Shell. The Shell was either created by her family or herself. Breaking through it should be a piece of good news. Even her parents would probably be shocked at seeing her current persona, A Random Girl who was always smiling.

They then arrived at the Supply Room. Erika was in the Windows and seemed to have a lot of thought within her mind. The Group entered the Supply Room and saw Arthur waiting for them. He looked at them and talked with a calm tone. "It is time for us to start the Arsenal Extraction Plan." All of them nodded while Samuel had thought within his mind.

'I thought the two of us were the same. But we have different charisma and world views. Our Common Sense is different, but it would be interesting to follow you and my niece in your Journey. I'm glad that I chose to join you. Interesting things would happen from now on.'
