Chapter 4: Edge of Tomorrow
Chapter 4 - Edge of Tomorrow
After 30 minutes of running, Norman had encountered nearly 50 zombies on his way. He had either killed them in 1 strike or ran away, now in front of his was a whole herd of zombies. Holding the dagger in his left hand, he took up a boxing stance now was the time to show his true potential. Smelling Norman, The zombies charged towards him causing Norman's eyes to widen in surprise. 'They can run!' As Norman was about to turn back he realized the zombies he had turned away from had followed him.
In the end since the back and the front was blocked he could only go to the right, but he realized that would corner him. In the end he had to fight. On his way here he had been thinking of good ways to utilize his teleportation abilities in combat now was a good time to test his capability's. Interrupting his contemplations, a zombies jaw launched at his neck, Instantly Norman dodged to the side. Feeling a sudden change in the air next to him he had realize a zombie was about to scratch his arm, Norman teleported behind that zombie. Stabbing it in the head, while the zombie that had lunged at his neck hit air, falling to the ground.
Norman felt a portion of his stamina deplete. Even after running for nearly an hour his stamina was still ok. But just using teleport once depleted it. It only depleted less this time because he had used it at such a close distance. Before he could do anything else, he felt a jaw bite down on his leg. Causing him to lift his leg up in response. Putting his hand where the bite was at he saw blood coming from it. He turned around only to see a zombie with half of its torso missing. It was licking the blood on its lips. "What a disgusting creature" Norman muttered, before stomping on its head in anger, causing its head to break.
All the zombies charged at Norman seeing this scene. They all jumped onto him eating peaces of his flesh, Norman couldn't even fight back. The most interesting part of the zombies were their military attire though. That's what fascinated Norman the most. But before he could do anything, Norman died.
…
"Where am I?" Norman said to himself. Looking up he saw an arrow flying at him, thinking quickly he teleported behind the tree. Saynim chased after him. Checking behind the tree only to see nothing but air. Norman had teleported behind Saynim's back, stabbing him in the neck with the beer bottle still in his hand, Saynim died quickly. The beer bottle penetrated through his neck making it through the other side.
Seeing these turn of events caused everyone to look at each other nervously. Norman on the other hand took the cross-bow off of Saynim's body. He had noticed that he had become stronger after killing Saynim but Norman didn't take it to heart. Using the strap the Cross bow, Norman put it behind his back, letting it hang from his back like a backpack.
Grabbing Saynim's body Norman once more teleported behind a tree. So in the eyes of teska and the group Norman had disappeared when in reality he was closer then they thought. Putting down Saynim's body, Norman checked his corpse, finding a few knuckle knives. Taking those and putting it in his pocket, Norman removed Saynim's leather camo jacket and put it on himself. The jacket contained all of Saynim's weapon's and medicine etc. Norman then quickly removed Saynim's pants, stripping Saynim completely naked, although he still had his shirt on. And Running away.
All of these actions took a few minutes. Before anyone could come to their senses Norman had run away again. "Guy's chase him! He's killed Saynim!" Teska yelled out, chasing after the direction Norman was in. Seeing Teska take the lead caused the others to feel confident. Following him to their death…
"God I'm so tired." Norman thought to himself, his right eye socket was aching. If he didn't put medicine on it soon it'd get infected and he could die. Turning his head back he saw Teska and a few others figure's on his tail although they were far-away from him he didn't want to get tortured again. Norman had an idea of what he was going to do but to do that he needed alot more stamina. He decided to take a right, before hiding behind a tree. Causing the group that was chasing him to take a right, instantly he teleported to the left and hid behind a tree. They continued chasing "him" in the right believing that's where he was. In reality he was on the left. The right was where that zombie army from before was at. Once they encounter that they'll definitely die a painful death. Thinking of it made Norman very happy.
The last teleportation took a lot of Norman's energy; he had gotten used to teleportation's stamina depletion but in the end even he had a limit. Still Norman felt that he had gotten stronger after killing Saynim so he decided to check his stats. "System Panel"

'It seems that whenever I kill someone I absorb a part of their stats' Norman thought to himself, he was also curious about the change in teleportation. Concentrating on it a new system panel appeared
[Teleportation - You can teleport anything you sense]
(Changes - For 1 you don't need to say teleport in your head any longer, just will wherever you want to go and it'll happen. The stamina depletion received when using teleportation is decreased, so you can use it more now. Use 0/15 times to level up)
Suddenly the smell of the air changed slightly. Turning his head to the left Norman saw a very hideous creature. It had countless faces like that of a demon but its skin was like that of a zombie. Each face wailed in agony with blood dripping from their eyes, the faces were zombie faces. The smell of rotten flesh spoiled the clean air. Among on these faces were 2 eyes the eyes were at both sides of the creature's temple like that of a chameleon's eyes it was able to stretch in any direction. Although the eyes of the creature were special, its eye-sight was poor and so it relied on its sense of smell and other senses to move around.
Norman's entire body was aching, although his stamina had replenished abit, in the end this body was beaten multiple times with a steel pipe. He was in a constant state of despair. Norman didn't want this at all, and did nothing to deserve it. Luckily for Norman the creature was around 20 meters away from him giving him enough time to run away. Not thinking twice Norman groggily got up before running towards the bridge.
As if Norman had triggered something in the creature, it instantly turned into an after-image. In only one step it had crossed around 15 meters. On Norman's tail Norman had no other choice but to teleport. Teleporting on the creature's head, a zombie's mouth bit Norman's boot. Quickly Norman stabbed. The creature's huge hand which was made up of countless limb's swiped on its head. Norman instantly teleported to the side of the creature in mid-air. Stabbing at its eye blinding a part of it. Before teleporting to another side of its eye. Instantly blinding it.
The creature covered its temple in pain, its blind eyes turned red. It didn't care about catching Norman any longer, it just wanted to run away. Seeing the creatures despair Norman suppressed the tiredness in his body, and teleported once more a few meters to the right of the creature in mid-air he slashed down using gravity to increase the weight of his slash, successfully chopping off the creature's arm.
As if expecting this the creature's arm made up of countless limb's broke apart from each other, each of them lunging at Norman. "H-how! This isn't biologically possible!" Norman cried out, the back of him was covered by the creature and his front was covered by a hail storm of limb's. He decided to run to the right. Norman started running. But he was too tired, an arm had grabbed his leg dragging him down alot. He kicked his leg flinging the arm off of him but the scratch marks left by the arm remained.
Noticing the scratch mark's Norman froze. This was enough for the creatures to grab Norman, Its smell causing Norman to freeze, it was like a stunning agent. Before crushing Norman, all his bones had protruded from his skin. His bones were crushed into dozens of pieces. Norman at this moment was convulsing due to the pain.
Why.
Why can't I ever win.
Norman cried out before getting devoured by the creature.
Author's Note - This was an important battle for Norman, why? Because this'll teach him that its not good to succumb to impulses. Although Villain's Mindset is still there, the impulse to kill the creature was his own not the skill's.
