One by one the Earth's population was shrinking. People died everyday from unknown causes. Some people called it the "Strike" because it came out of nowhere and hit them fast. Almost everyone was gone in 43 hours. And those who were still alive and showed no sign of weakness were captured. They thought they'd be going somewhere safe but safe was not a word the could be used to describe the place they were in or the things they heard.  The people who were captured were quickly classified as Subjects, not as human beings. More than 50 subjects were captured and this was just the begining.

His dad was the first to die in his family. Everybody was heart broken, of course. But when his mother and sister died it was even worse. That's when he was actually by himself. Everybody that he knew, friends, family, were all dead and he was the only one left. He didn't know what was happening but he did know that the people who were left were being captured. He didn't want to be one of them. He tried hiding but it was no use, he was still captured. He was no longer Kim Minseok. He was Subject 51108.
