Tales Of The Rebirth Apocalypse Emperor - Chapter 9
It had been a long tire day. My shirt was uncomfortably dirty and wet. The jeans were bloody and tattered. The man who sat in the seat opposite mine in the pod kept staring at me from time to time with a questioning peek. So, I had just gazed back at him and pretended to be nothing wrong with me. I sighed. I really long to get home, to undress and get into the shower, to be where no one can look at me.
After three hours trip, Murong finally arrived home. He, undressed, took his warm shower, and had a late lunch with his brother, Huilong. Then, he stored his clothes and a couple of extra pencils for his exam tomorrow in his space ring and prepared to go back to Zerento city.
One might ask why Murong came back to Zerento city? The apocalypse seems to be inevitable and it seems pointless to attend school. Does this make any sense?
Those are good questions and they actually offered valid arguments. In fact, Murong came back to school but not for school. He would like to meet and talk to his close friends. For some, he knew from his past life that he would not be able to meet them again after graduation.
After disembarking at Zerento teleportation station, Murong took a bus and went directly to his dormitory. He unpacked his stuff, had a quiet dinner, and went to bed, expecting to meet all of his friends tomorrow.
Monday morning, 15th Jan 2024. On this day, there was no major incident on the Blue planet. It was just one of many ordinary days. However, for some people, this particular day is a joyful day, graduation day. For some people, it is a nightmare, the final examination day. On this day, the students in Murong’s year will take a comprehensive written exam in several fields. Although the score will not be used to judge whether that student will pass or fail, it will determine the chance of being selected into a famous university.
Murong woke up around 6 O’clock, washed his face, and got dressed. He stumbled down the stairs to the main floor in the dormitory building. After making his way through a few corridors and taking a few turns, he saw a neat, minimal, organized, and silver-chrome cafeteria. It was 7 O’clock, breakfast time, so most people had already come to eat and drink in the cafeteria hall. He was looking around to find his friends and, on one table, he found five of his close friends were having breakfast and watching an election campaign-news brief on “Daily voices”, a popular news channel on television.
Murong bought his breakfast, walked straight to that table, and sat there next to one of his friends, Liu Wu.
As he sat, they were discussing what they have been watching on television. It was three days before the presential election of Thilon kingdom, located on the west side of the continent. Hal Freeman, the reporter, who was clearly sided with the newer populist party, continued to attack the opposing side.
“Of the two runnings, I’m hoping that the old man will defeat this self-centered businessman, Josh Luther.”, one of Murong’s friends, Will Chuke, who was the supporter of Bell Kennegy’s party, said.
Continuing watching Josh Luther and Bell Kennegy rallies on television, Will was hit by how large and enthusiastic Luthor’s crowds appeared.
“I just don’t believe this channel.”, he said. He thought that the mainstream news organizations are biased, and he believed in the theories that Murong knew some people would found them implausible. He told us that “There were deliberate moves by Luther corporation to bribe all the media and cheat the election results.”
I plucked a can of orange juice soda from my breakfast tray, tapping my lips as I contemplated Will theory. In my previous life, at this very table, I was very skeptical about his theories because money could not buy everything. However, in the future that he knows, Josh Luther won the election, and as president, declared the union of Thilon kingdom and Laputa kingdom adopting Temple of light as the main religion. He, now, was kind of wonder whether there is any secret assistance from either Laputa kingdom or the Temple of light side?
“Politics aside, Josh Luther was not a bad choice.”, Murong thought.
This man carried his kingdom through the apocalypse period magnificently even his kingdom was not famous for its military strength. In fact, it ranked the least of all five kingdoms in the continent. Thinking of that, I was glancing at another table located just a few tables away from our table. I saw Elon Luther, the future famous figure and the son of Josh Luther, was talking to Draco Smith, the imminent prime cardinal of Temple of light, nickname “The son of light”. I didn’t take notice of their interactions before in my previous life but they seem to be in a good relationship with each other. He, then, gazed around that table and surprisingly found that all other people at that table were the future prominent figures in the continent.

Begin with that beautiful and sexy looking lady sitting next to Draco, Veronica Rambell, she would be the upcoming light healing high priest for Temple of light. Sitting next to her is Alexander Kolovsky, a son of Blackstone city governor. He would be practically the calling shorts in the western part army of Arcadia kingdom.
On another side of the table, Elon was sitting next to two young men. One is Takuya Kimura, the future notorious slave imprint master. After high school graduation, he went back to take care of his dead father’s underworld business. When the apocalypse came, not only he did not suffer, but his influence grew at an exponential rate due to his enormous supply and terrifying skill, slave contract.
As for the last one, it was the second young master of Ye’s family of Xia kingdom, Ye Shaokui. The Ye family was responsible for annihilating his family in his previous life. He did not feel good toward any of their descendants. He vowed in his heart that, in this life, he would make Ye family suffered.
After a short pondering on the people at Draco’s table, he concentrated back on his own table. Even if they were famous people, they were not related to him nor his friend. One particular was even a blood enemy.
In Murong’s daily life in school, he often hangs out with his particular mates, Liu Wu, John Flanigan, Vasily Razalev, Will Chuke, and Aika Miura. Among these five friends, in his past life, he was able to meet two of them again after graduation from school. One of the guys was definitely, of course, Liu Wu. Liu Wu’s family was a big grain Merchant in Xia kingdom. After the apocalypse, food has become the most valuable asset and Liu’s family influence was expanding at a staggering rate. However, as of now, their family is still small.
Another one was surprisingly Vasily Razalev, whose hometown is very far from his hometown. Geographically, we had less chance to meet each other again. Murong met this young woman again when he fled from Xia kingdom capital. Her family business was related to hot and cold weapons. Her family sheltered both Murong and uncle Fang when they were in Arcadia.
He has never heard a new about Aika, it was like she mysteriously disappeared. As for the other two, Will and John, by the time I hear the news about both of them, unfortunately, they have long been dead.
In Green planet’s education system, after the children finishing their high school courses, they have to take the final comprehensive examination. After that, they will have to find the working experience, usually with the student’s family, and write a report. Then, they will have to prepare their statement of purpose, working report, family profile, three letters of recommendation, together with the final comprehensive examination score as the university admission package and submit it in August. The university will reach the decision and announce the admission result in December. All students will begin their next university classes in January next year.
In this life, I plan to invite them to visit my family during the transition break in September. I could try to improve their skills at that time. Then, in this life, all of them will have a higher chance to be alive and well.
