With this number of people walking, there should be still someone who would help this man yet they only give him some pitying glance and go back in minding their own business.
Other beggar with the same situation as him is eyeing him greedily. If one look carefully they look at him like a delicious food, which any normal people will creep into.

And this when the apocalypse era finally started while the peaceful and modern life is now a part of history. Laws and orders are removed and the new world follow the jungle rule “survival of the fittest”. Dollar has loss its value while a biscuit will cause bloody battle.
Actually even though money has lost its value, Ren could still live a normal life where he wont worry about foods . Sadly when the apocalypse happen though he have many supplies in the mansion, people working in the mansion such as the maids,drivers or gardeners start bringing their families.
And because of how kindhearted he was, even though his personal butler advice against it. He help them all until it get to the point that people in the surrounding area start going into the mansion for food and protection.
The supplies are quickly decreasing until nothing are left. The people start rioting and instead of thanking for his help, they instead demand him to order his bodyguards to go look for food
As time pass by, one by one he suffer from betrayal. Because of his foolish decision he caused the death of those loyal to him and even his personal butler Ryan was killed by the people he helped.
As death quickly approach him. He started to think about his life. Memories started to appear in his mind. One by one he watch his life being played like a movie, it look like long but only seconds pass in the real world.
But then he realize he never regret helping people. What he regret is he fail to recognize people he should help and those he should not. Like when before the apocalypse happen
Sadly people became more amazing in hiding their true self and his skills before are completely impossible to work against the apocalypse survivor.
Before he completly loss conciousness

But he died before the voice finish its sentence
……
Just 1 seconds after he died. Two human from the sky descend. It was a woman in her late 20 and a 60 year old white haired old man.
Seeing the corpse of Ren. They are totally shocked. The woman walk toward the corpse and kneel. Grabbing the body into his bosom. Tears swelled in her eyes

Yet this people ignore him. One of them, a young man 17 years old walk towards ren and took a golden pill. The famous masters are shocked.
“Nirvana pill!!!!!” One of them exclaimed.
Though it was valuable and in normal circumstance even them will fight to death to obtain this item yet not a least greed are seen in their eyes but instead a hopeful look are shown in their face.
Before the young man even feed the pill to Ren
A woman with alluring figure and black veil covering her face said” It wont work,,, his soul already left”
This caused the young man to stop in his track.
Then the woman said again with almost sobbing tone” I could get,,,,,,get his soul ba-back but ….. unfortunately he al-already entered that……..that place” tears are already raining down from her face to the ground.
