2/2
"Dad, Mom, Anissa is back."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the little girl with a small backpack returned home from school. After knocking on the door, rapid footsteps quickly sounded from inside the house. A woman with a worried face opened the door.
Seeing her daughter safe and sound at the door, the woman's heart that had been hanging slightly relaxed. She hurriedly let her daughter into the house and immediately locked the door.
"Anissa, did you encounter any danger on the way? Did you listen to your mother and avoid those monsters on the road?"
The woman's nervousness was not without reason.
Now, a week had passed since the demon race invasion.
Except for the Empire and the Radiant Church Nation, the remaining three-fifths of human territory in the world had already fallen and become the demon race's territory.
Fortunately, the demons did not carry out a massacre against them.
Apart from the many monster figures from the demon race on the streets, everything seemed to be no different from usual, at least for the civilians.
Oh no. Almost forgot the most important point. Indeed, there was still a huge difference... they didn't have to go to work.
The demons took over and controlled the vast majority of human factories and facilities. Without new orders from the demon race, workers like her were staying at home.
"Mom, don't worry. I was very obedient! Never provoke those demon, always take detours. Also very attentive in class. Mom, look, I even learned a zero-tier earth spell."
The little girl said happily, opening her palm. Inside was a small lump of earth resembling plasticine. As Anissa's weak magic power gathered in her palm, the shape of the plasticine began to change. Controlled by the girl, it quickly turned into the shape of a family of three clay figurines.
However, after the initial surprise, the woman did not praise her. Instead, she showed panic and subconsciously slapped the plasticine out of her daughter's hand with a "pop".
Because previously, learning spells was a privilege reserved for nobles. If commoners were found to use spells without authorization, it was a serious crime that could send the whole family to prison.
But when the woman came back to her senses and saw the family clay figurines shattered into pieces on the ground and her daughter's aggrieved face, she realized that many rules had been broken due to the demon race's invasion.
Anissa also doesn't understand. It's a rare day off, why do daddy and mommy still have to fight. Anissa hopes daddy and mommy can make up soon]
[August 10, cloudy, it's the day to pay for meals every month again. Anissa always feels guilty asking mommy for money, because after going to school, half of it will be robbed by other children. Anissa also tried to ask the teacher for help, but the teacher said why don't they rob other children, only rob Anissa's, it must be Anissa's own problem.
Anissa doesn't know either, and doesn't dare to tell daddy and mommy]
[August 15, cloudy, today the door of the house was smashed by someone. Mommy said they were debt collectors. Daddy was also injured by them. Mommy gave them all the money she saved before they let us go. Anissa hid in the room, very scared. Those debt collectors were wearing knight corps uniforms.
But the teachers at the academy said the knight corps was formed by the noble lords to protect us and drive away bad people. So are we bad people? Anissa doesn't understand...]
[August 16, cloudy, daddy got drunk again. Mommy worked overtime until late at night and hasn't come back. Anissa is very hungry]
Almost the entire notebook was filled with such "cloudy" diary entries.
Until...
[August 25, sunny, today's sky is red, unusually hot. There are large fire walls surrounding the city. Many, many monsters appeared from the fire walls. The teachers at school said humanity is over, the end of the world is coming. Anissa also doesn't understand, are we going to die? But at least today daddy and mommy didn't fight~.
Mommy hugged Anissa tightly, daddy stood in front of us and the monsters]
[August 26, sunny, mommy's factory closed. Today mommy accompanied Anissa for a whole day. Anissa is so happy~]
[August 27, sunny, today daddy is very happy, because the arrival of the monsters made all of daddy's debts cleared. Those knight corps people also didn't come to the house to collect debts. Daddy kept excitedly shouting about a new era. Anissa also doesn't understand what it means, but seeing daddy so happy, Anissa is also very happy~.
Oh right, almost forgot, daddy said those monsters also have a name, called demon]
[August 28, sunny, today mommy went out and bought a lot of food, made a full table of sumptuous dinner for Anissa and daddy. Mommy said to at least eat something good before dying. Daddy criticized mommy for always being too pessimistic. Anissa also doesn't understand, but Anissa wants to thank the demons for letting mommy make us a big meal!]
[August 29, sunny, daddy hasn't drunk for four days, studying the news in the newspaper every day. Anissa rarely sees daddy so energetic. And the end of the world mommy said seems to have not come. Anissa also resumed normal school. Heard there are new magic teachers at school. Anissa is looking forward to it!]
[August 30, sunny, eating a big meal]
[August 31, sunny, ....]
