Chapter 1 - Prologue - Sweet Sweet Memories...

The year was 2100 – the year when earth lays in ruins. During this year, everyone prioritize money and looks.

The environment had gone worse day by day. The ocean is filled with toxic waste. The trees are gone. Everyone was suffering from endless hunger and fear. Poor children were begging for food every day.

The government had been greedy for money. They took our life source and made us pay for it. We had to pay to use water, air, sunlight, and even hope itself.

I... Aléssio was born in a poor family.

I went to kindergarten when I was 5. That's where I met... Cassandra. The one who I always adore and the one who was always there for me when I needed her.

She was my savior, my one and only... savior. She never hated me because of my looks. While the others avoided me, she stayed?

I... love her.

A few weeks pass, I ran up to her to tell her my feelings.

Hands wide open, legs staggering, and a cheerful and pure expression only a baby could have.

I thought she would accept me but I was wrong.

She punchedme instead.

I tried to defend myself, but I was weak.

Then she finally said it, her voice trembling with rage and tears,

"You... You liar ! Even when I accepted you. Do you even know the pressure I felt when your parents killed my family !? I watched them... I watched them with my own eyes. They were slaughtered by your damn parents..."

Everything around felt silent as if the world around me was starting to blur and fade away...
