Chapter 4 - Chapter 4: Convenience Store

The first way to survive in a place like this was to find a source of water and food. Especially canned foods and snacks because those things usually had a longer expired date.

Lucifer had never been to a convenience store before because he always had to buy food in the slums. Therefore, Lucifer was very excited when he saw the snacks and the foods in this convenience store.

He had only seen snacks through the children who did not live in the slums. Seeing them eat those snacks happily made Lucifer feel very jealous.

But jealousy was all he could do because his parents and the thugs would not let him have money to buy those snacks.

That's why, taking this opportunity, Lucifer would eat whatever he wanted, eat everything he was not allowed to eat before.

Lucifer had taken a lot of snacks and canned foods. If he could, he would have taken more, but that would have overloaded his bike and slowed it down a lot.

In this case, a car would have been better than a bike.

As if reading Lucifer's mind, the bicycle suddenly fell to the ground without being impacted by anyone.

It was as if it was saying:

"If you like a car so much, then go steal a car."

***

The food problem was solved. Now, Lucifer needed to consider where he would live for the time being. He needed a place that was safe and suited to his plans.

In the end, Lucifer came to the conclusion that he would temporarily settle down in a soccer field. Not a field for kids to play soccer, but a field where professional teams could compete. In other words, he would stay in a stadium.

Fortunately, there was also a massive stadium not far away from where Lucifer was standing. Without delay, he headed straight for the stadium riding his beloved bike.

On the way, Lucifer had encountered a lot of the slimy monsters he had seen before. They were walking back and forth on the street as if this was their home.

'Should I shoot them?'

Lucifer hesitated for a moment whether to shoot the monsters or not, but then decided against it because it would be a waste of bullets.

Since he couldn't kill them, Lucifer could only hide somewhere and wait for the monsters to pass by.

He still held the gun tightly in case the monsters discovered him. But luckily, Lucifer didn't have to use the shotgun even once.

The monsters just walked past the place where Lucifer was hiding. The distance between him and the monsters was so close that Lucifer could clearly hear their movements. But fortunately, they didn't detect Lucifer.

'Monsters are just monsters after all.'

For some reason, Lucifer felt quite confident after surviving those slimy monsters.

He continued his journey towards the massive stadium.

***

This stadium was very large and very modern. It could be said that this was the largest place Lucifer had ever seen in his entire life, which was understandable since he had never seen a stadium before.

He had only heard from passersby that stadiums were usually very large, modern, and bustling.

And indeed, this field was extremely large and modern just like what others said, it was just a pity that it was not bustling at all since everyone was concentrating on surviving.

Lucifer walked past the seats in the stands. He had planned to sleep here, but then he noticed that there was a room that looked quite modern in the distance.

Perhaps it was a room for the rich when they wanted to watch soccer.

Lucifer sprinted towards the room in excitement.

The room looked very modern and clean, it even had a large glass door to look outside.

This room was completely different from the shabby room he had in the slums. Right now, Lucifer felt that even if he died here, he wouldn't feel any regret.

But Lucifer instantly dismissed that thought from his mind. He was looking forward to completing this Trial, receiving his Destiny, and living a free and comfortable life.

"Wake up, you piece of trash. If you don't wake up, I'll kill you. Are you just a piece of trash? Wake up now, you piece of trash!"

That strange voice echoed over and over again in a steady manner. It was that strange voice that woke Lucifer up from his sleep. He tiredly opened his eyes and looked around to find the source of the noise.

"What the hell? I was sleeping soundly!"

Lucifer got up from the comfortable sofa and walked around the room to find the source of the voice.

Finally, Lucifer realized that the voice was an alarm from a phone that someone had forgotten.

It seemed like the owner of this phone liked the feeling of being scolded so he set the alarm like that? Lucifer felt a chill down his spine as he tried to think about it.

Lucifer looked out the glass door, he couldn't tell if it was morning or evening because the sky was still covered by those blood-red clouds. But Lucifer didn't really care what time it was to be honest.

He quickly put on his black superhero outfit because Lucifer had found out that this outfit had a pretty good protection function. Lucifer also grabbed some necessary tools before leaving his hideout.

Lucifer's only goal today was to find more food and tools to carry out his plan. A plan that might be able to defeat that monster.

Lucifer left the stadium with his bike. He noticed that the superheroes were still trying their best to fight against that Crab Gorilla since there were a lot of lights and blair sounds coming from where the battle was taking place.

Although he didn't like them, Lucifer still had to admit that the superheroes had the qualities of a hero and were very strong, while the rest of their personalities were just trash, not worth mentioning.

'It's okay if you guys can kill that monster and die with it.'

***

Near the stadium was a fairly large convenience store. There should be plenty of food and tools needed for his plan inside.

Lucifer quickly went in and came out after getting the necessary items. But just as he was about to return to his current hideout to put away these things, Lucifer suddenly heard some footsteps behind him.

Reflexively, he turned towards the footsteps immediately.

There, a group of people with fully equipped weapons were approaching him.

Seeing them, Lucifer had thought for a moment that they would treat him kindly because he was wearing the black superhero outfit. But the reality was much more cruel.

As soon as the group of people saw Lucifer, the one in the middle - probably the leader - suddenly raised his iron rod towards him. Then, he said:

"Found you, black superhero. You will die today, you piece of shit!"
