NOVEL WEB Chapter 1: The Invasion
The night was shattered by the sound of sirens and explosions. The once bustling streets of Tokyo were now engulfed in chaos. From a strange, pulsating portal in the sky, monstrous creatures poured out, wreaking havoc on the city. Buildings crumbled, and terrified screams echoed through the air as humanity faced an invasion from another world.
Among the invading horde was Nyanko Sakura, a small and seemingly insignificant monster. Unlike the others, who were fierce and powerful, Sakura was fragile and timid. Her red eyes gleamed with confusion as she stumbled through the ruins, trying to make sense of the devastation around her.
Sakura had always been different from the other monsters. While they relished in destruction, she was drawn to the beauty of the world she now found herself in. The tall buildings, the bright lights, and the strange yet captivating objects that littered the streets all fascinated her. But fascination quickly turned to fear as she realized the danger she was in.
Humans, driven by fear and anger, were fighting back with everything they had. Soldiers with strange metallic skins [armored suits] and giant animals that roared and spat explosions [tanks] roamed the streets, hunting down every monster they could find. Sakura, with her small frame and gentle nature, was no match for their relentless assault.
She tried to approach a group of humans, hoping her cuteness might appeal to them. "Please," she meowed softly, her voice trembling, "I don't want to hurt anyone. I just want to understand."
But her words were met with gunfire. Bullets whizzed past her, forcing her to dart into the shadows. Her heart pounded in her chest, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Why won't they listen?" she whispered to herself, her tail curling around her for comfort. "Why do they hate me so much?"
Sakura found refuge in an abandoned building, its once grand interior now reduced to rubble. She curled up in a corner, trying to calm her racing heart. "This world is so different," she thought, her mind racing. "Back home, I was just a weakling, always hiding from the stronger monsters. But here... here I'm something to be feared and hunted."
