Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 22 - THE FREE RIDE
Within two days, Ferran learned a lot about life in the forest and he also asked about the medicinal plants in their house. Henry explained to him that Tata Carpio, the old man who was furious with the policemen and authorities for unknown reasons, likes to collect herbs that are effective in various diseases. Henry also said that even though he was angry with him because he was a policeman, he still treated him.And after two days, he bid his goodbye to the people who treated him well. Hailey still did not want to let him go but he had to go back to town. People might be looking for him especially since he’s out of reach for two weeks.“You’ll come back, right?” Hailey asked while her tears were running down her cheek. In that little span of time, the little kid became very close to Ferran to the point that she doesn’t want to let him go.“Of course. I’ll visit if I have time.” Ferran assured her.“Bye-bye.” Hailey waved her little hand while Ferran was leaving the mountain.When he
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 23 - THE POLICE STATION
“Let’s go to the station.”“What? No! You’re staying here until you recover.” Rouvie stopped him but he’s so hard-headed.“I’m fine. Let’s go.” He entered his bedroom and when he came out, he was wearing his police uniform.Rouvie heavily sighed, did nothing but follow, and did not dispute his friend’s stubbornness. Even before, Simeon was so stubborn and there was really nothing he could do about that.When they arrived at the station. Everyone was shocked every time they saw Ferran passing in front of them. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing.“It’s true.”“He’s alive.”“He’s truly a cat with nine lives.”“Nothing’s new.”“Welcome back Ferran!” Someone shouted but he just nodded.“Nothing changed.”“Still arrogant.”He proceeded to the Chief’s office, knocked three times, and heard the word ‘come in.’ He twisted the doorknob and entered the office. He saw the Chief who’s talking to his telephone and when the Chief saw him in front, he froze but immediately recovered.“So it’
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 24 - THE PUPPY
A lot of cases were finished but no one there is connected to what Ferran should know. While resting from the case he just completed, an idea entered his mind. “Sanchez,” he called for his partner who’s reading some reports. “Are you busy?”“Not really, why?”“We have somewhere to go. Come on.”“W-What? Where?” Ferran didn’t respond.When he reached his pickup car, they immediately got in and arrived at San Lorenzo University. They parked not so far from the university then got out of the car.“What---Why are we here?”“Just follow me, okay?” Sanchez nodded until they reached the back of the school. Ferran entered the forest first while holding his gun and then Sanchez followed while he also held his gun. They carefully feel the surroundings as they step.“What is this for? Are you going to kill me so you bring me here?” Sanchez asked jokingly as if it was funny.“Tss. Nonsense.” Ferran said while still watching around. Even in the daylight, it is really dark inside the forest becau
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 25 - THE RESCUE
“Ferran!”+++Ticking of a clock, heavy breathing, dropping of blood, and blowing of the wind. Suddenly the sound of them quickened and repeated. Ferran was overturned by a memory. That was the voice from Sanchez. He immediately searched for his partner and he found him peacefully sleeping in the hospital bed and he found himself sitting on a single sofa near the window. He looked at his wristwatch and it’s already 9 PM.Then suddenly he remembered what happened inside that dark forest. ***While he was interrogating one of the fake hunters, Sanchez shouted his name and he felt Sanchez push him then he heard a gunshot. Sanchez almost screamed and there, Ferran found out that his partner had been hit by a bullet from the back. He did not hesitate to pull his gun and shoot the two behind them.The one who lost consciousness earlier and the other was Sanchez’s opponent who had two bullet wounds but they could have been attacked if Ferran had not preceded him. When he faced the last on
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 26 - THE FAKE HUNTER
“B-Battle? What battle?” Ferran stared at Sanchez, feeling uneasy before he reacted a bit exaggerated just to take Sanchez’s attention away from that thought.“You’re awake! I thought you would never wake up. Wait for a moment, I will call the doctor to check your condition.” Ferran immediately stood up and left Sanchez to call the doctor.Sanchez is in good condition based on what the doctor said. He just had to stay for another day in the hospital for a blood transfusion. After that, he can go home and rest to quickly recover.“I’m sorry. I still insisted on what I wanted even though you stopped me.” Ferran sincerely apologized, feeling guilty of his stubbornness.“Don’t be sorry. I’m already glad that neither of us died.” Sanchez said and then asked something. “When I woke up, I heard you say some things? What is the battle you are referring to?” Ferran almost face-palmed when Sanchez asked about it. He thought Sanchez forgot what he said earlier but he didn’t.“Battle? Huh?” Fer
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 27 - THE SEASHORE
‘Hm... So she’s a professor.’ Ferran said in his mind while looking at the label of the canned goods in his hand then suddenly, he realized something.The guy’s voice! It seemed to be familiar. Senior Police Officer II Danryll De Vega! His new partner at present time.He looked at the last place where the two were talking earlier but they were no longer there. He tried to find them but he couldn’t so he just released a heavy sigh and quickly finished shopping for food.He was about to go out when he noticed the old woman who seemed to be having a hard time carrying the two boxes of groceries.“Excuse me. May I help you?” He asked.“Sure. Sure. Thank you.” The old woman gave him the two heavy boxes then they came out of the supermarket. The old lady pointed to the car where the groceries needed to be placed.When they got close to the car, the old woman’s grandson arrived just in time.“Granny, didn’t I tell you to just wait---oh Ferran,” Beltran said. “Thank you for helping my Granny.
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 28 - THE BAR
When Ferran reached his house, he went straight to his room to change clothes. “Uncle! Uncle!” Blair shouted as she entered the room without permission. “Did you heard about the rape victim in the seashore?” She seems out of breath.“I just got from there.”“Oh. That’s so horrible. Did you have any leads on who might be the culprit?”“Blair,” He looked at his niece while buttoning his polo shirt. “Don’t involve yourself. It’s too early for you to be in this kind of mess.”“But I want to learn. You know that I easily get curious.” She looked around and saw something in her uncle’s room.“But—hey.” Ferran noticed that Blair was looking at his plans for the upcoming apocalypse in the future.“What are these, uncle? Are you… Are you working on something big?” She asked while holding the photos and reading the notes on the board. “2022? Apocalypse… What?”“I need to go. You might as well leave and go home.” He slightly pushed Blair outside his room.“Uncle, you’re a workaholic but not to
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 29 - THE RED-HAIRED
Gentle waves of the sea, cold wind that blew through his face, and the smell of the sea salt. Ferran awoke from a deep sleep and looked around the area. He was sitting in his pickup car’s driver seat, located at the end of the pier and facing the calm sea. He remembered what had happened to him inside the bar.“A dream?” He asked himself. “But what am I doing here?”He got out of his car and he felt the pain all over his body then he realized that it’s not a dream! He faced the side mirror of his car and saw his swollen wounds which he gained by beating the man with a tribal tattoo.The big question is, how did he get to that place? He does not remember that he drove there and he also doesn’t have an idea that he needed anything in that place.After a moment of thinking, the surroundings are getting brighter ‘coz the sun was starting to rise. Ferran chose to stay to watch the sunrise that he rarely does because he was too busy at work.When the sun was high, something significant ent

Hope of the Dying World EPILOGUE
March 16, 2022Wednesday 7 AMMonths had swiftly passed…“Where are you going, dad?”“I’ll just visit someone… it’s been a while.” He said before leaving their house. The sun rose already and the streets of San Lorenzo came back into life.With an open window, Timotheus felt the morning breeze. He was greeted by the neighborhood. On his way to his destination, he passed by a flower shop. “Good morning, officer! You’re at the right time. Our flowers were freshly delivered.”A white bouquet of gerbera flowers caught his attention. He immediately put it beside the passenger seat. He stared at the flowers for a second before starting the engine.It was a peaceful drive not until he noticed a commotion in the middle of the road.“Again?” He parked his car at the side of the road.“You f*cking j*rk! You’re the one who bumped into my car! Look!”“What? I’m just passing by and you’re—”“Excuse me? What is this all about?” Timotheus asked while checking the damages.“Who are you?” One of them
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 110 - THE HOPE
“...Kuya.” Julsen slowly closed his eyes before his ghost left him.“J-Julsen… Hey, man. Wake up. Julsen!”The night became silent after that bloody encounter. A lot of bodies were lying on the ground… lifeless.Timotheus carefully let him go and looked at the blood in his hand. She clenched his fist and rushed to Danryll to give him a hard blow. Danryll didn’t bother to dodge his attack and just let him.“How could you?!”“Sir, stop it!” Xol went in between to stop Timotheus while Ferran, on the other hand, just watched them because the unusual feeling of pain was forming inside him again.“I will never regret it!”“How will you prove that he really killed the doctor? Huh? You don’t have—”“Of course… I have.” Danryll threw him his phone that was immediately caught by Timotheus. He watched the entire video and Julsen really killed Dr. De Vega inside the laboratory. He unconsciously dropped the phone astounded.“Y-You think you all s-succeed? Even if you revealed them to the whole wor
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 109 - THE HALF-BROTHER
The Chief just arrived at the place where the real Boss was living. Instead of welcoming him, everyone inside pointed their guns at him. “What the hell is happening?!” His eyes widened when he saw the real Boss furiously looking at him, as if he wanted to kill him from that very moment. “You son of a b*tch! How dare you destroy the laboratory without my consent?!” The real Boss held the collar of Chief’s clothes and tightened his grip. “Everything will not go according to plan if I don't do it, Boss.” Fear was visible to his eyes. The real Boss is the only one he afraids of. No one but him. “You killed Maria! And my granddaughter… my precious granddaughter!” He was shaking with anger and slowly choking the Chief. “I thought Cally’s your only g-granddaughter? Ugh! I just did it to reach our goal. To produce a cure—” He was cut off when he felt the need for air. “You thought… Hah! I don’t care about that damn goal! As long as my family’s not involved, you’re free to do anything but
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 108 - THE CODE
“As I’ve thought… Got it.”Czaquira ready her pen and paper while Blair was dictating the code they needed to decipher. The letter’s too tiny for them and Blair has 20/20 vision. She could easily read the characters unlike the others inside that special room.“R-O-M-12:12—12|13|14|15 II-C-O-R-4:10—31|32|33|34|35 J-O-H-N-3:16—17|18|19|20|214_2_3_5_5… That’s all.” Blair creased her forehead, not recognizing what the code was telling.Czaquira tried to type it all but it’s too long for a passcode. “Fourteen characters… We only need fourteen characters.” Czaquira uttered.“No… it’s nineteen, I guess?” Xol confusedly said.Minutes after minutes… an hour and ten minutes left. In the middle of the brainstorming on how to decipher the code, Timotheus' phone rang.“Aquiro,” Timotheus said, hoping for good news. “Really? Oh God… thank goodness.”“How’s the search, sir?” Xol asked, hoping for good news.“They found him and…” He looked at Blair who was about to cry. “He’s alive.”Blair’s kn
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 107 - THE PENDANT
“Trestan… He’s alive!” Aquiro wiped his tears and went beside Trestan’s bed.“It’s a miracle that he’s still alive after that fall.” The street sweeper spoke before he sipped his hot coffee.“You’re the one who helped him?” Aquiro asked.The man just nodded and put the empty cup on the table near him.“He needs a long rest. I should leave. Take care of him.”“May I know your name, mister?” Aquiro stopped him for a moment.“No need.” He tapped his shoulder before leaving.“Sh*t… so it’s true. He’s alive. Thank goodness.” Ziph sighed in relief when he saw Trestan lying on the bed unconscious.“Damn you, cous’. You scared us. We thought…”“Stop being a crybaby, Aquiro. Haha.” Beor teased him.“F*ck you.”They just laughed at Aquiro’s hilarious face. The laughter stopped when they heard Trestan speak.“Cally…” He mumbled. “Hey, Trestan! Do you hear me? Trestan.” Aquiro slightly shook him. “Cally… Cally!” He suddenly woke up from that deep sleep. He groaned when he felt pain all over his
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 106 - THE BODY SUIT
Heavy rain fell while Ferran was on his way to save Blair. He struggled a bit because he couldn’t clearly see the road. Ferran looked at his wristwatch before stepping on the gas to speed up.“Ugh!” He almost got into an accident if he hadn’t stepped on the break immediately. His chest tightened and his breathing became heavy. ‘Alfarez! Alfarez!’ Real Ferran’s voice echoed inside his head.His heart pounded harder than the first one, as if his consciousness would leave him. Regardless of the frigidness of the atmosphere due to the rain, his body was heating up and beads of sweat were forming on his forehead and neck. “H-Hah… Hah…” Ferran’s head dropped on the steering wheel and his sight became blurry.Darkness filled the surrounding and he woke up in a void.***“It’s been a while… Timotheus Alfarez.” The voice echoed everywhere.‘That voice… That voice!’ He opened his eyes but he saw nothing but darkness. ‘I’m here again… Does it mean…’ He held his head when he felt a sudden pain.
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 105 - THE SEARCH
“Danryll! We need to go. Something’s going on with the kids.” Zyrille uttered after she got a call from Dylan. “Danryll!”“What?” Danryll looked at her before he ended the call.“The kids… we need to go to them.”“Why?” He stood up and they were walking and exiting the wrecked laboratory after they put Dr. De Vega’s body in a safe space. Even if they wanted to, it is not the right time to mourn. There is a special mission they needed to accomplish.“Dylan called and… and he was crying. I don’t really understand what he was saying but all I understood was they were hiding from bad people.”“I thought they were safe where they were.”“I thought so too but it is not the case now.” Zyrille checked on Julianna who was sleeping peacefully and soundly inside the van. “We need to hurry or else, we might lose those innocent ones too.”Danryll sighed heavily before starting the engine. The place is not that far from Mrs. Santos’ house and the travel was quick because it’s night time and there i
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 104 - THE CAR CRASH
“Trestan!”The sound of the waves coming from the San Lorenzo sea and Trestan’s whimper were heard in the middle of the cold night. He was shot on his shoulder and it’s bleeding too much.“Trestan…” Blair was weeping while trying to assist Trestan. Her hands were full of his blood but she didn't mind.“Shh… Don’t cry. It’s… nothing.” He tried to lift his hand to wipe her tears but he couldn’t. The wound was too painful to bear.“Give me that young man!” The Chief was forcefully pulling the briefcase which contained the cure.“No!” Trestan tightly hugged the briefcase while Blair did her best to defend him. She kicked the Chief’s ass and gave him punches but still, it’s not enough. Blair even received a hard blow from the man that made her weak.“A-Ah!” Trestan cried out of pain when the CHief choked him to death.“T-Trestan…” Blair mumbled while watching her lover crying because of pain but she couldn’t do anything but to watch him suffer. She can’t move an inch.The Chief pushed him
Hope of the Dying World CHAPTER 103 - THE SORROW
“Oh my gosh!!” Blair covered her ears as they heard the explosion coming from the surface. It slightly shook the place because of its great impact. “Dr. De Vega!”Trestan put his hand on her mouth and strongly shook his head to stop her from running back to the laboratory. He then pulled her again because at any time, the enemies might track them as soon as they learned about the tunnel underneath.Rain was heavily pouring when they reached the exit. They unhesitatingly entered the dark and vast forest even though they already knew what danger was waiting for them.The ground became muddy and slippery that made it difficult for them to run faster. Trestan tightly held Blair’s hand while running for their lives because unfortunately, they encountered fake hunters on their way out. One of Blair’s feet slipped and she almost fell into the pit where the organization disposed of the dead organisms from their failed experiment.“Blair! Sh*t… Careful! Let’s go.” Trestan was tired but he just
