It provides a comprehensive introduction to the creatures and animals that grow in the Arctic region, as well as the formation of the aurora. In the aquarium, you can also get close to animals such as seals.

Evelyn Popov is an employee of the aquarium. After finishing a day's hard work, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Popov, let's see who gets to the tavern first. The loser should treat us." A vigorous voice sounded in Popov's ears.

Then the young man who made the sound rushed out quickly.

While changing his clothes, Popov rolled his eyes helplessly at the young man who quickly rushed out of the locker room, leaving only his back.

That was Jerome Jeannet, the aquarium's youngest intern and a student at the nearby University of Tromsø.

Since they often met at the "Northern Tavern", the two of them were good drinking buddies.

The beer in the northern pub is full of wonderful flavor, which soothes people's emotions and makes them forget their worries.

Thinking of this, Popov licked the corner of his mouth subconsciously, and his movements of cleaning up inevitably became a little faster.

Soon, after saying hello to a few colleagues, he left the Polaria Aquarium and walked on the quiet street.

The warm scenery is intoxicating.

There is no snow today, and you can see endless green forests in the distant mountains.

Because it was polar day, the sky was still bright even though it was time to get off work.

After politely nodding to a few acquaintances he occasionally met in this small town, Popov quickened his pace.

Jeanne had a big appetite, and in order to avoid having his wallet emptied by that guy, Popov chose a shorter route today.

"This is a bit of bullying for a young man who comes from another place to study."

Popov said this, but his feet did not stop at all.

If we just turn another corner and climb over the corner of this dead end, we can save a lot of distance. Then we can give that kid...

As soon as he turned the corner, Popov stopped suddenly.

Cold sweat instantly broke out, soaking his back, and Popov froze in place.

All thoughts in my mind were cleared in an instant, as if I was too shocked by the scene before me to recover.

Breathing also stagnated.

Only in a dark dead end.

A three-meter-tall brown humanoid monster was squatting on the ground, almost filling up the dead end.

His back was covered with protruding spikes that swayed as the monster lowered its head from time to time.

This picture, which fills the entire field of vision, gives people a strong visual impact.

In front of the monster, Popov could vaguely see torn pieces of clothes and bits of blood and flesh splattered everywhere.

Although the monster's size blocked his vision, Popov immediately understood what was going on from the strong smell of blood around him and the chewing sounds that seemed to ring in his ears.

This monster is...eating people?!

His suddenly dilated pupils showed the fear in his heart at the moment.

Although reason told him that there was no such monster in the world.

But Popov didn't dare to bet whether this was a prank, after all, he only had one life.

He slowed his breathing and did not panic.

Then he slowly and calmly backed away, not wanting to disturb the eating monster.

With every slight move, Popov seemed to use up all his strength, for fear that any noise would alarm the monster.

He controlled his trembling body with clenched teeth and was about to leave this dead end.

But the next moment, the chilling chewing sound suddenly stopped.

Popov saw the monster that he had been staring at turn its head.

It has compound eyes like those of an insect, a mouth with countless petals, and each petal is filled with a row of teeth.

Popov swallowed his saliva and ran away decisively, not caring about moving quietly.

The monster shook its head slightly, and countless Popov figures were reflected in its compound eyes.

The next moment, the three-meter-tall monster suddenly stood up and burst out at an astonishing speed.

Even though Popov reacted in time and ran away, he was still caught up by the monster in a flash.

A huge force erupted behind him.

Popov lost control of his body in an instant. He was blown away by the force and hit the wall, then fell to the ground.

Popov fell to the ground and tried to get up.

But I had lost feeling in my back, and other parts of my body were aching, and I couldn't muster any strength at all.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

“Ahhhh! Is there anyone?! Is there anyone?! Help!!!”

Popov, unable to move at all, shouted in despair.

But there was no response.

The town of Tromsø is a small place to begin with, and he took a shortcut, so there were even fewer people passing by.

Popov, his voice hoarse, looked at the monster that was slowly approaching.

For some reason, Popov seemed to see mockery in the monster's compound eyes.

The monster did not approach as fast as before, obviously trying to play a trick on him.

Popov couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling as he glanced at the hollowed-out, broken body in the dead end.

He wanted to close his eyes and wait for death.

But I can't really close my eyes calmly.

Damn it!

He didn't even have a drink before he died, so it would have been nice if he had treated us.

Popov looked at the approaching monster in despair, and the complicated thoughts in his mind began to spread randomly.

The next moment, a white afterimage suddenly appeared in front of him.

The figure that fell from the sky landed on one foot.

A footprint suddenly appeared in the ground, and then a circle of cracks appeared around it.

Then, the other leg that had not yet touched the ground was instantly lifted up.

The air was torn apart by the fierce kick, and then the monster was kicked back into a dead end by the swift kick.

With a loud bang, the monster was embedded directly on the wall of the dead end, and it looked like it couldn't be removed at all.

Popov's thoughts seemed to be confused by this kick, and he fell into silence as he looked at the man in the white battle suit.

What just happened? Popov was a little confused.

He didn't see the whole process clearly, it seemed like this person appeared suddenly.

While cracking the ground, he also kicked the horrible monster into the wall?! Is this strength and speed reasonable?

Popov swallowed hard.

What happened today? First a man-eating monster, then a superhero-like guy.

The mental shock and physical trauma left Popov completely devastated.

Could it be that... I haven't woken up yet? (End of this chapter)
