Chapter 18: Ch.18 Bad Guy Enters Stage Left
[Smoke entity pov]
(A/n When you see RM RW followed by a # it is Random man and Woman and the # is to differentiate)
[before the events of the apocalypse]
(on a busy street in the south part of the city)
RM#1: Dude did you see on the news about that Doctor.
RM#2: Yeah I know right, when you think you know someone. But they turn out to be sick and demented
RW#1: I heard that he would paralyze his patients before surgery so the can feel everything but couldn't move or say anything and conveniently "lose" them.
RW#2: It was also said he was blackmailing all the female nurses and Doctors into sleeping with him amongst other stuff.
RM#2: The news said that one of the blacked mailed nurse is what put a end to it. She had call him to the roof to umm..do the deed and she found the opportunity to jump off while in his embrace.
RM#1: that's when all the people who were being blackmailed stepped up. But what they didn't realize is the Doctor made it so if his computer is tampered with it automatically uploads the blackmail information and all the deeds he has recorded with the nurses and Doctors.
RW#3:.....
RW#2: She wants to know is that why the Hospital is being Shut down and Boarded up right now.
RM#1:Yes, the hospital can no longer run once people got a hold of what was going on the couldn't trust this place anymore.
RM#3: Covering up deaths during surgery, all the Malpractice, and the Evil Doctor had a torture room set up in the hospital.
RW#1&2:well at least it's over.
Everyone Else:Yeah
(then the apocalypse happens)
(the one week of the apocalypse before Tony arrives)
[Inside the hospital]
Me:uuugggghhh
Me:Wft damn bitch pushed me off...why am I back in my lair? why the fuck is it so dark.* heads towards light switch*
Me:Wtf why cant I touch it, also my hand should be touching a wall but I've yet to feel it. Fuck, lets leave here for now there are windows in the corridor so it wont be so dark.
So he moves to the door and and tries to find the handle but couldn't.
Me:okay I'm starting to get pissed did someone fucking remove the door handle.
What he hasn't realized yet his he has indeed found the handle but is incapable of touching it.
Me:Mother Fucking.....*several Seconds of profanities later* you know Fuck this door *squares up to it and charges shoulder first* Only to move through the door into the corridor which is dark and and dank but not pitch black like his lair. The little bit light that is filtering through the boarded up windows is what makes it that way. And he is headed straight towards one such window.
Me: Ahhh Shit!!!
Realizing that he phased through the door and unable to stop his momentum he thought the same would happen to the window he was heading towards. Only to slam into an invisible barrier.
Me: Haaaaaah.. that was close.
With his layer being on the 8th floor and the fact he remembers his death. He didn't want to experience another free fall. Anyways moving on. He touches the window again just to encounter the same barrier.
Me: I hope this doesn't mean what I think...
He then gets ready to go towards stairs but hears a whimpering in the lair he just left. He goes back in and can hear a woman softly crying in the corner. Though he cant see anything he knows the layout of his lair perfectly. As he heads over there the crying stops. Now he is getting a little afraid then it happens.
Woman:*Wails* YOU DID THIS TO ME ILL MAKE YOU PAY YOU WIL.....
He is able to pinpoint exactly where she is by her inhesitant shouting and I back hand her across the face.
Me: LISTEN HERE YOU INSUFFERABLE BITCH!!! IT IS YOUR FAULT!!! WHO TOLD YOU TO FALL OFF A BUILDING WITH ME!!!...
Women:WAAAAAAAHHHH
Me:SILENCE!!! or I'll do much worse.
Because he just realized the only things he can touch are the floor the barrier he found and the nurse who is the reason he is in this predicament.
But what he doesn't know the wailing and the yelling that just occurred carried through the entire hospital. And they were not alone. That's when he heard a whisper
???:oooooh you are a perfect host, your heart is saturated in darkness and lust.
Me: Now I'm hearing voices, and people thought I was sick and sadistic before wait till the get hold of this.
???: nope not a voice, and your only ticket out of here because what you assumed earlier is fact.
Me: So the barrier wraps around the entire hospital and wait I was my thoughts.
???: hehe...pardon l kind of already latched my self to your soul.Though that's all that is of you latch onto at the moment.
Me:..at the moment? Wait so there is a way to get my body back!!!
???:God no, unless you want ashes and that's if those even survived it's been a couple years since your death.
Me:!!!
???:okay short explanation
God shut down the reincarnation Cycle to prepare for a Game that was right before you died which is why you remember your death like yesterday. Today is the official Start which is why you are back, but unable to find a body your soul was brought back to the place of death, thus you escaped the fate of becoming a zombie. Now remember how I said it was gods game, not only did all dead ride but 90% of the worlds population instantly changed into zombies, But all is not lost humans are given an advantage they get more power the more zombies they kill. Zombies even drop loot like in a rpg.
???: So just think of yourself as the direct opposite of the surviving humans
Me:Wait so I get stronger by killing humans?
???: That's a factor yes, but not the only way you can get the most strength from feeding on their fear. An also you can think of me as an assistant to all this.
Me:it would be nice to know you name if we are going to be working together
Gluttony: I'm one of seven siblings and I had to fight lust to get you but because of your extreme salacious appetite in all things related to the subject I was able to convince her. oh I'm Gluttony, Nice to me you Steve
Steve: I look forward to our future partnership
Gluttony: Speaking of which I promised a way out but it will take about a week. good news you dont have to do anything thing bad news Is we are absorbing all the souls in this building.
Steve: How is that bad news?
Gluttony: they all died by your hands and dont quite like you so that's why the process is long and I forgot to mention quite painful. Don't worry though you should survive.
Steve: What do you mean by Should what are my chances I wan....
Gluttony: The process has begun.
Just as he said so wailing could be heard throughout the entire hospital as black smoke
begins to converge at their location
Steve:I HATE YOU
Gluttony: save it for afterwards.
Then darkness.
[one week later Night]
Steve: ugghhh
Gluttony:well good morning sunshine or I should say goodnight according the to the
time. Sook how do you feel?
Steve: Better, and also who turned the lights on?
Gluttony: Nobody, that's just one of the many perks of absorbing souls. Also you have a Semi-physical Body if you concentrate enough you will be able touch or move things and o once you get strong enough you'll no longer have to focus to do it.
(A/n think of it as a Active skill turning into a Passive one)
Steve:Okay but how does that get me out of here?
Gluttony:hang on, I got this.
I feel a powerful energy release with me at the center. A massive amount of black smoke begins to fill the hospital at a alarming rate. until finally the windows and doors couldn't contain the pressure and burst. As all this was happening I could feel my body start to shift position as I followed the path of the smoke to last place I felt like being right now.
[ the Hospital roof]
I'm finally out!!! I decided to do what everybody says not to an look down.
Steve: Who the hell are they?
When he looked down he saw the 80 scouts looking at the hospital ready to flee at a moments notice.
Gluttony: they seem to be zombies... but they have human level intelligence it shouldn't be possible this early In the game.... Make them submit to you so we can gain some insight into what's going on.
Steve:How do I do that?
Gluttony:ooh right, you are still getting used this. Just look at them with intent to conquer them.
Steve: they are all men so gross...but i get what you are saying.
So he starts emitting a Conquering Aura and 79 of the 80 men all kneel. The last one struggled for a bit then seemed to realize something and looked up directly into my eyes and fell to knees. After all 80 kneeled my head gets a sharp as I start to receive all sorts of information from them.
Steve:1st Squad?...Scouts...Ohh their commander is Sexy As fuck I cant wait to make her Kneel amongst other things. I now have almost a complete understanding of the city's situation, damn these scouts do a good job. I think I'll keep them. From what he gathered from the scouts he knows that the commander is waiting for them and that there is close to 10000 soldiers along with her so let me just avoid that. I can send these scouts back to infiltrate and gather Info...
Gluttony:I recommend against that their souls had a imprint on them before you broke it and added yours.
Steve:welp so much for that plan so I guess we find a hideout since this place is compromised.
As he says so he leaps from the roof for the second time ever and lands on the ground without a sound.
Steve:I think I've developed an addiction to falling from high places. ok let's go.
He then retreats Into the dark night.
The scouts follow.
(A/n in case you are wondering why this character is smart it's because he is a Doctor for reason number one. Two he was able to cook up a scheme to have to whole medical facility under his control including the board members. And it fell apart due the unforeseen circumstances. And finally we need the MC to have a Rival.)
( A/n Also I think it'll be funny when we get
to the ultimate Showdown and The Ultimate villain introduces himself as Steve)
