Her name is Crystal. Just Crystal. And zombie killing is her game. Before the Apocalypse her game was actually designing games from the ground up. Her most popular? You guessed it, Zombie Massacre . Who says you can’t apply games to real life? But even she can’t say she wasn’t surprised or scared when she found a Zombie in her closet, oh boy she was terrified.

Did I accidentally go into a zombie outbreak VR games? Jack thought. But it felt so real. Whenever he went into any VR games, there was always a sense of unrealism. The textures, the details, and the sense! I could feel everything on my body as if in real world. The wind, the cold, the fatigue, the pain. This was no VR games, if it was, it was a damn perfect one. And he didn't remember being plugged into a VR chamber. You would need to plug your mind into a machine in order to enter VR world. After all, Virtual Reality was a man-made digital world that existed only in data inside a computer machine. All that happened before the whole world turned upside down was a bright flash and he getting disoriented for a short while, there was no way he was hooked up with some VR machine within that time frame. Or was it? Uncertainties started to gnaw at him. But even if it did happen, what's the purpose?
Before he could process all that thoughts, the scene in front of him turned intense. The white clothed man reached the last stair, one of the zombies leaped from above and landed right on top of the man. He fell and lost his grip on both the staff and the round object. The round thing rolled onto Jack.
"No! no!" The man was panicking.
The zombie on top of him started to bite and tear onto him. Multiple red numbers appeared on top of the man's head.
Damn! This really was a game.
The man was screaming at the top of his lungs. The zombie was tearing the man's flesh in an explicitly gory manner.
Was this really a game? Jack was in doubt again. It's too damn detailed!
And the sound of the man's scream, it's too real. It's giving Jack goosebumps.
I can't take it, game or not, no one deserved to be hurt like that. Jack thought as he pulled his short sword out of his scabbard. He looked at the sword instinctively and thought about inspecting it. A blue description appeared above the sword.
 
Bronze short sword, level 1 (common one-handed weapon)
Physical damage: 20
Attack speed: 1
Durability: 30
 
He then looked at his equipped armor.
 
Leather armor, level 1 (common medium armor)
Physical Defense: 5
Magical Defense: 3
Durability: 30
 
Standard beginner weapon and armor, Jack thought while approaching the poor man. However, the other zombie seemed to have perceived his intent. The creature lunged forward passing his feasting companion and ran towards Jack.
That was fast for a zombie, Jack thought.
He maintained his cool and sidestepped. Good things that he had plenty of experience in VR games. He let the zombie zoomed past him and made his slash. He felt the resistance when his sword sliced through the zombie's belly. It felt absoultely real! He though again. Red number of 20 appeared on the zombie's head.
Motivated, he performed another slash at the zombie's back before it could turn around.
 
Critical! 40 damage!
 
Sweet! Jack readied himself to perform another attack, but the zombie spun around with clawing motion. The claw hit his side and pushed him back. He almost tumbled down when a red number 10 damage appeared above him.
The kinetic programming is too real! He thought out loud while working on his footwork. He needed to really watch his balance in this game.
He looked at his side which were scratched, red line was seen under his torn shirt, with stinging pain.
Too real! Too real!
The zombie lunged again. He had prepared and avoided the attack before doing another counter attack. He kept his cool by kept on reminding that this was all just a game, despite the realism. After landing another 3 slashes on the zombie, he realized the screaming had died down. He glanced at the clothed man only to find the second zombie were about to grab him. Startled, but still calm, he did multiple backsteps, averting himself from danger.
That was close! He thought. He had always had quick reflex, not to mention his martial arts training by his grandfather during his younger day had helped him become one of the independent top experts in several VR games. And with the degree of realism in this game, he could control his body in a much more complete sense.
He took another glance at the clothed man. He was lying on a pool of blood, all mess up and unmoving.
Do they have to make it so real? Jack resisted the urge to throw up. Usually in VR games, when players or monsters died, the just vanished in a ball of light.
As the two zombies continuing their assault, Jack adjusted his footwork to circle towards the one that he had slashed several times before. He was not confident to deal with these two zombies at the same time for long term, so he needed to take down the one that should only have a little life left. He managed to land another two slashes in during the process while getting clawed and bite once each. The wounded zombie let out a long howl before disintegrating into dust after the last slash.
Now that looks more like a game! Jack announced in his heart while not forgetting to dodge the other zombie's attack.
With his opponents bounced back to one quantity again, the pressure on him was significantly reduced. He refocused his attempt to chip away on the other zombie's life. During his endeavor, he was clawed another time due to carelessness, reducing another 10 HP from his life. He remembered having 120 HP when he last opened his status window, so he still had more than half to spare. Finally, the second zombie also fell. He heard the mechanized sound again as was usually heard in VR RPG games at the end of combat.
"Congratulations on winning the battle. Receiving 4 experience points."
"Well, that was exhausting," He commented while gasping for breaths. In normal VR games, he won't feel fatigue, or at least not real fatigue as now, where his lungs were thirsting for air. He really felt his real body functions as how he felt in real life. Then he looked again at the pile of dust on the floor and the sword in his hand.
Was this real or was this a VR game…?
After pondering for a while, he shook his head. Whatever, I will just take things as they go. He approached the man or more accurately, corpse of the man killed by those zombies. The stench! He had to pinch his nose to approach. He wouldn't have to deal with this smell problem in his past VR games. As he observed the corpse and admired its gory details – not that he enjoyed it, it just made him wondered how the programmer applied such find details onto it – it burst into several traces of small light.
"Holy– " He blurted out while falling backwards on his butt.
The corpse and the stench vanished, as was the blood. Just some red smear was left on the floor, along with three items. The strange monocle that was previously on the man, a card, and a bag.
He hesitated for a while before picking up the three items.
 
Administrator Key-Card (Special item)
Can be used to open restricted area within Trigitech Corporation building
 
Large bag (Unique item)
Capacity: 100 cbm
 
Administrator God-Eye (special equipment)
Passive ability 1: Radar – detect allies, neutral, and hostiles within radius of 300 meter
Passive ability 2: Scan environment – detect and analyze important object within line of sight
Passive ability 3: See invisible object, monster, or player
Active ability: Inspect object without restriction
 
The monocle had some domineering name, and its listed abilities also indicated extraordinary usages. This would be heaven-defying object in any VR games. He tried putting the key-card into his pocket, instead, a holographic box appeared. 'Standard storage bag' was written on top of it. At the bottom was written 'Capacity: 5 cbm', that was a big volume size in this seemingly small holographic box . The key-card was seen floating inside the box projection. He also put the large bag inside. His standard bag was 5 cbm, while this large bag had 100 cbm, it was 20 times larger. He had gotten a great haul with this.

He was about to join the beta test on the newest VR games, Second World.

But an anomaly threw him into a world with familiar rules, a rule he usually only experienced in a game.

Now he must use his past gaming experience in this new world.

It was no longer a game, it was survival! A strive to reach the highest level possible.

Equipped with dual-class of melee and magic user, Jack was set on the path to become the strongest character in this brave new world.

"The King's Avatar?! What's that?" Obviously, many cultivators and warriors from Yuanyang City and Half City hadn't heard of it before.
Even Gu Tingyun, this old man, was curious. "Do we have such a movie or game in the shop?"
"What's Vanishing Step?!" Many people looked baffled.
In the game, the players at levels lower than 20 couldn't use the high-level combat techniques that they had learned in the real world. On one hand, their bodies in the game were not familiar with those combat techniques and the spiritual spells yet. Even if they use them, the power of these techniques would be weak. On the other hand, the essence and magic used in the games were slightly different from the warrior qi and spiritual essence in the real world, and the players had to spend lots of time to study them before using them in the games.
"The King's Avatar is a story about games; the shop owner told us the story before," Xu Zixin explained.
"What's Vanishing Step?! It must be an insignificant low-level combat technique!" Sia said contemptuously.
"A story about games?!" The girls stood together, and Yue Bai asked Xu Zixin curiously, "Do we have such a game in the shop?"
Xu Zixin pointed at Mr. Fang and whispered. "Do you want me to tell you the story?"
"Okay! Ok!"
"What story?!" With ears perked up, Sia listened carefully.
Then, she heard, "I'll tell you the story after Mr. Fang clears the stage."
"…" Sia's face twitched. Why don't you tell it now!
She had been waiting to listen.
…
In fact, Nalan Mingxue noticed that Fang Qi had used more than just Vanishing Step.
It suddenly dawned on her that Fang Qi had used all kinds of small skills in his previous battles with monsters.
They were not combat techniques and didn't consume lots of physical strength; they could be used after getting smooth with some practice.
For example, Fang Qi had switched between the great sword and lightsabre and used ordinary sword techniques and Secret Sword Art alternatively. Secret Sword Art consumed energy, and it used a lot of energy maintaining such a horrifying fast speed.
However, Nalan Mingxue sensed that it didn't consume lots of Fang Qi's essence, A.K.A MP, since his essence had remained at a high level.
For another example, Fang Qi had used Secret Sword Art in the middle of the Drive Slash, so he could attack multiple targets at a faster speed.
It must be noted that the sliding steps of Drive Slash were extremely fast. At this great speed, how could Fang Qi use the Secret Sword Art, an extremely complicated and fast sword technique, together with Drive Slash?!
In the King's Avatar, the main character used this technique to keep a small master in the air.
They were surprised that Fang Qi was able to use this technique in this game!
The cultivators of the Ultimate West Realm were at a loss for words. As wounds accumulated on the zombie king, it couldn't heal itself under such fast sword strikes solely using its healing ability; the zombie king was going to die soon!
Many people stared at Fang Qi's screen with widened eyes. "Is he going to pass for real?!"
"So powerful!" Tang Yu yelled, "The zombie king doesn't have a chance to fight back!"
When they fought the zombie king it was extremely difficult. However, Fang Qi made the process look so simple and smooth. They felt as if Fang Qi were playing a different game!
"Will he pass just like this?!" someone asked weakly.
"Impossible," Sia snorted and said, "This zombie king will unleash its power and knock everyone around it away if it's under siege for a long time."
The moment she said it, sure enough, a tremendous force erupted from the zombie king.
Like a storm, the force instantly spread out in all directions!
"See?" Sia said smugly.
Before she could finish, Fang Qi slashed out his great sword with vicious force.
The storm hit him, but Fang Qi was as steady as a giant boulder.
Instead, he even tossed up the zombie king again!
In the original version of Dungeon Fighter Online, if the players reacted fast enough, they could block the shock wave of the bosses with Super Armor. Even though Fang Qi didn't have the fancy special effect where light radiated out of his body, Fang Qi remained as steady as a mountain.
"How did he manage it?!"
"Did he block it by using Super Armor?!" Some sharp-eyed players saw the trick.
"He's going to pass!"
Under Fang Qi's wild attacks, the HP of the boss was declining at a fast speed!
"His combo is more than 100 attacks!"
Looking at the combo number shown on the screen, they yelled, "He's not a human!"
With a shrill scream, the zombie king was already dead when it fell from the sky.
"He passed?!"
Many people couldn't believe their eyes. "How can it be so easy?!"
"F*ck!!" 
"No…!" Luo Piaoling's face turned grim.
"What's wrong?" Sia asked curiously.
"Didn't you notice that?" Luo Piaoling said, "It has been a long time, and the chilly energy in his body should have erupted; but… he showed no sign of it!"
"Why is that?!" Sia was astonished. She remembered that when she passed the Master Difficulty Level in a team, the chilly energy in her body had erupted at regular intervals, interrupting several of her combos.
However, this chilly energy hadn't affected Fang Qi at all?!
How could it be?!
"Cheated! He must have cheated!" As an ignorant viewer, Sia thought that Mr. Fang must have cheated in the game.
As an ignorant viewer, Luo Piaoling also felt incredulous. While looking at Mr. Fang's default slayer outfit and then at his own…
Could it be that this outfit adds armor to the players?!
It was unbelievable!
"Cheated?" Many people froze at their protest.
"Right!"
"How come the shop owner wasn't attacked by the zombie king's freezing energy?!"
It seemed like the boss was fond of Fang Qi. While other players battled the boss, they all swarmed up and tried to kill it as quickly as they could. Otherwise their combos would be interrupted by its freezing energy, and they would freeze to death if the battle took too long.
However, the freezing energy had no effects on Mr. Fang?!
Nalan Mingxue sat near Mr. Fang.
She put down her virtual reality headset and said, "Did you guys notice that the shop owner would slash upward and leap into the air once in a while?"
"What do you mean?!"
"He did that to continue his combo, right?"
"It's not the time to talk about this!" the warriors of Ultimate West Realm said impatiently, "Obviously, the shop owner cheated!"
After all, he must toss the boss into the air to make it lose balance, so he can continue his combo!
"I don't think so," Nalan Mingxue chuckled and said, "I calculated in my mind. The shop owner leaped every five seconds, which is almost as long as the interval for the chilly energy to erupt in the body; I calculated the time of its eruption while I was passing the Shadow Thunderland at Master Difficulty Level."

How will the world end?

Do you think it would explode, like a comet would hit it? What if there was war... will it disappear?

There were a lot of questions circling inside Sheloah's head about the end of the world but when people talk about the end of the world, the concept that would pop out on her mind would be...

Zombie Apocalypse.

She kept thinking that the end of the world would be a zombie apocalypse. She can't help but think of it. Maybe because she was influenced by the video games she played and the animes that she watched. 

She kept imagining what if... the end of the world would really be a zombie apocalypse wherein people fight zombies everyday. It would be a survival!

Well, it's not that Sheloah likes fighting all the time... it's just that she yearned for some action in life since everything for her seemed a little boring!

She imagined getting guns, shooting all zombies down... holding a knife, slashing the zombies by their neck or chest... kicking and punching them... killing zombies by groups then people would make their group bigger. 

'Ain't it awesome?' Sheloah thought to herself.

But if a zombie apocalypse would happen, would it be like the games she played or the animes and movies that she watched?

In High School of the Dead,  it started in school. In the anime Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka, the zombies were vulnerable to sunlight. 

In the game Left 4 Dead, there were various types of zombies such as the Tanker and the zombies in that game could run whereas in Call of Duty Black Ops, the zombies there would be slow at first before they could speed up. In Zombie House and in Resident Evil, the zombies can even use weapons.

In movies like World War Z once a person was bitten by a zombie, they turn into a zombie for a span of 12 seconds or sometimes for 6-12 minutes depending on the person who was bitten. For Warm Bodies when zombies eat brains, they could feel how it was to be human again by looking into their targets memories through the brains they feed.

There are a lot of theories about zombies from animes, games and movies... but from all these, they all share one thing in common...

Zombies react to noises. 

Sheloah sighed as these thoughts circulated in her mind. She was not paying attention in class because she found it boring that's why she decided to let these thoughts come and distract her for her own amusement. 

She thought what if a person became a zombie. Will the cure be like in World War Z that people would need to inject some illness so they won't be noticed by zombies? In Warm Bodies, should people smell and act like a zombie so they won't be attacked by zombies?

There are a lot of things people don't know about zombies. Heck, how can people know about them? A zombie apocalypse didn't even happen in real life. These zombie stories are just figments of people's imagination.

Sheloah shook her head a little as she thought of this but still, she thought that this can still be a possibility. 

She looked outside the window near her seat and thought: if a zombie apocalypse were to happen, would the information from the games she played and the movies and animes she watched, be useful?

Sheloah stopped thinking for a while and looked at the board in front of her. She is already a fourth year high school student and like a typical student, she found every lesson, especially the first period in class, boring. 

She gave herself a sigh as she continued looking at the board but their attention was stolen when suddenly, a bang was heard from their classroom door. The students looked at who it was and noticed the guard of their school with extreme panic on his face. 

'What's wrong?'

"You are the first and nearest section that I can warn this about," the guard said and the students started to whisper.

Sheloah looked at Veon, her seatmate who was also her friend. She smiled at him and said, "Do you think there's a suspension of classes because of the guard's panic?"

Veon chuckled slightly. "I think so... if it's the reason why he panicked," he said and they both looked at the guard again.

"What's the problem," the adviser of their class asked as the guard took a deep breath.

"Escape now," he said as he rested his body on the door's frame. Everyone's face started to show uncertainty as to why the guard of the school had said that. 

"Huh? What do you mean," the adviser of the class asked again and the guard now looked at the teacher with a serious expression, with panic evident in every word he said.

"Just run! Something happened with the other guard I am with when he was bitten by a dog a while ago," he said then suddenly everyone in class became noisy. 

Sheloah looked at Veon and he looked surprised and dumbfounded as well by the news they just heard.

The guard changed because a dog bit him? What does he mean? Does the dog have rabies? Why is this happening in school, of all places?

"Wait, sir, you're saying--"

The adviser didn't get to finish what she was about to say when they suddenly saw a person pulling the guard away and bit him. Everyone in class was surprised; they shouted as they watched the scene. The class president of the school calmed himself down before he shut the door tightly. 

They heard the guard screaming for his life. They saw his blood splattered on the classroom window and a lot of the students now had fear taking toll on their body. Their body started shaking in fear and some were even crying. 

Sheloah stood up as she held her mouth with her right hand.

'I was just thinking about zombie apocalypse a while ago and now... is it becoming a reality?' Sheloah thought to herself as they saw the commotion happening outside their classroom through the window.

'What are we going to do?'

It was an unexpected situation. They were just quiet, listening in class, then suddenly, the world changed.

Zombie Apocalypse.

Are you ready to survive, fight for your life, and strive in order for you not to die?

Are you willing to carry a knife, hold a gun, and kill zombies even though they may be your family, friends, or someone you know?

It's your choice.

You may choose to survive or if you are too scared, you may choose to die and become a zombie.

But if you have chosen to survive...

You are already part of the "Army of True Salvation."

"Can I ask where I am?" Gabriel asked in a very reserved temper. No anger or fear, just curious about what happened to him because all he remembered was the car accident that happened to him.


"Exchanging your life to a stranger? How admiring that even got me enthralled by your heroic deed." The voice answered as if she was happy.


"Can I please know what happened to me?" Once again, he asked because the unknown entity did not answer his first question.


"Oh? Sorry about that. Did you hear the `champion` word I named you lately?" Trying to remember about it, Gabriel was indeed called a `champion` by the mysterious feminine voice.


"So, what will that word be a part of me here?"


"With-in 540,000,000 people died in the same year as you. You were the only person that accumulated so much help to the world that will end soon enough."


To what the voice said, this made Gabriel shocked and scared, what immediately entered in his mind is his family and his girls, then the people that he helped and helped him as well.


"You don't have to worry about that. That is why I chose you because you accumulated the best Karma than the others. You can use it as an exchange for some abilities that will help you save the earth."


Because he can't still move, Gabriel tried to shook his mind inwardly and remove all the negative thoughts that will happen to the people that were close to him.


. "So? Is it the only way to save the world? Is it tough doing it?"


"It depends on your performance, also to put you at ease, don't worry about your girls."


That sentence made Gabriel curious. To what the voice said somehow made him put at ease for some reason, so he asked. "Why?"


"I let them dream about your mission in saving the world, but sadly, you can't see them until you accomplish one world mission. Also, your questions sill be answered once you start."


There are many things that Gabriel needs an answer, but the voice told him that all information would be transferred once he begins his missions.


`I don't have any choice. The responsibility is all in me. Sigh...` Gabriel thought and accepted it. `Let fate decide what will happen to me."


"I accept."


- - - -

Accepting the so-called mission, I closed my eyes to what the voice said so.


My first mission is to save a world that is similar to mine. Modern with the same year. The world will experience a zombie apocalypse, and all I have to do is find out who the cause of it and a cure.


Also, if I save survivors, it will convert into points for my next mission.


"How many years till my world will get destroyed."


"Five years, but again don't worry. Even if you spend a hundred years in your missions, it will only take a year in your world."


I feel like I'm being used, but I have no choice, also about the zombie apocalypse. I have so much experience in fps games. Not to brag about it, but I was called a human aim-bot in CS-go, Valorant, and other FPS games that I am lazy to mention it.


"So about the points that I accumulated. Are there bounds about it once I started to buy the so-called Abilities?"


"As the world, you will enter is a tier-1. Yes, there will be a limit, but because of the vast Karma points you have, you don't have to fret about it."


Okay, so I must carefully choose, huh. In front of me is a transparent screen with a list of Tier-1 abilities, and what I quickly want first are the passives.


[Peak Human x20]
[Unlimted Stamina]
[The Gamers Adaptability]


I immediately chose those three, and they are also the most expensive in the Karma Shop. Peak human will be a passive ability that will make my body twenty times the max potential of a human.


Unlimited Stamina is already very obvious, while the Gamers Adaptability is a passive ability that will convert my gaming experience into real life. I was fighting like MOBA games or MMORPG games that I played until FPS games that I was very good at playing it.


I also have so much experience playing zombie games. Left 4 Dead 1-2 and Resident's evil 1-6. Maybe this first world might not be very difficult. I hope so...


"How about your active abilities?"


Because it's a zombie world, I quickly chose the active abilities that made me surprise because most of them came from MOBA games. I have so much Karma points, so I decided all support skills from curing, healing and buffing teammates if so. Though the voice said it would not cure the dead already, I can heal a person if he or she is bitten as long as it's not yet past half an hour.

(AN: I will list all the support skills he purchased. Also, I decided to choose only support skills because why not? A reminder that this is a harem.This is Also an OP-MC and no NTR okay? Maybe Netori.)

Synopsis to be updated as the story progresses.

Also, I write this for fun. Not to compete.

Groaning as they came.
They are the ones commonly seen in apocalyptic stories.
The famous animated corpses on the games and films.
They are what they called as zombies.
However instead of the CG-based models on the games or the actors in films covered with zombie make-up.
The way they sound, the way they move, the way they look, and if you did try to smell them… the way they smell.
What's coming out of the gates are real zombies.
There was even one without a lower body, crawling using its hands.
"Eeeeek!" "Are you kidding me!" "I-is this f-for real?"
"Zombies!" "..God..."
The panic of the people has peaked.
At the initial summoning, there were five zombies summoned on each gate.
Ray checked the zombies coming out of the gate nearest to him.

[Zombie]
[Type: Undead]
[Grade: 1 - Normal]
----------------------------
Stats:
Str: 17
Agi: 3
Vit: -
Mana: 0
----------------------------
Description: corpse infected by an unknown virus.
Warning: Virus is infectious.
___________________________
Looking at the zombie's stats, if comparing to the average human around Ray then it has strength double of that of the average person, however, if he took what the status says to mind then the zombies are ridiculously slow, with them only having about a third of an average person's agility.
Ray began checking other zombies to see if all are the same. Discovering that they are all indeed almost the same, or at least for the majority of the ones currently outside the portals.
Not knowing anything about what the angel wants, who knows what other else is waiting to come out.
Still, Ray thought that if the naive him survived this event, then the current situation shouldn't be too brutal, but that is with the account that the task didn't change due to some butterfly effect or something.
"Everyone! there are swords below our foot!" Someone shouted informing every one of the weapons the same as the one which Ray earlier found.
The voice then followed, "We need to work together!"
Ray thought that being able to work together is remarkable.
But Ray didn't plan on listening further to the people around.
Knowing what's coming. Ray knows that he needed to grow stronger.
His current strength paled in comparison to the strength of the beings on his dreams.
He should take the initiative because time waits for no one.
He grips the sword on his right hand tight. Feeling the emptiness on his left hand, ray thought that a shield would've been good.
Ray then slowly walk into the direction of someone as the people around are nervously trying to get into a clumsy formation.
The zombies are slow but they are now a huge number of them.
with about ten zombies in each portal.
And it's still not stopping on summoning zombies, but right now the rate of summoning had slowed, it was only summoning 1 zombie at a time.
Ray picks up another short sword on the ground which the owner of the sword saw a few meters away.
"Quack!!!" "Quack! Quack!!!"
The owner of the sword shouted its objections and tried to take back the sword.
But Ray didn't pay it any mind.
It was even slower than a normal zombie right now.
Ray gripped it tightly with his left hand.
Now it didn't feel empty.
Ray then looked at the zombies around. For some reason, they were still weren't attacking and were just loitering around their area near their gates.
Looking at them, there was a considerable distance from each zombie, so if he was just fast enough and attentive, he could avoid being surrounded easily.
They may be slow but seeing the earlier warning of the inspect skill. Being wounded by one would probably be a fatal mistake.
The people around had already formed a clumsy circular formation waiting for the zombies, but he didn't plan on joining them.
Ray took a deep breath to calm himself. Being too excited could be detrimental.
When he starts moving, he needed to be efficient. He was only one man, the things he could do alone are limited.
There were about 30 meters in distance between them and each gate.
Ray then slowly walk in the direction of the zombies on the nearest gate on his directions.
Seeing him walk away from the formation, some of the people near him turned their sights on him calling him to come back.
"Hey idiot, what are you doing?!" "Hey man! Come back here, you will die!"
"...Lunatic…"
Ray ignored their words and continued.
Right now, in each gate there weren't that many zombies. With about 15 zombies on the gate nearest to him.
The best time to attack is right now when they are not a lot yet.
If they wait till all the zombies are finished being summoned on each gate then it would be a lot harder.
Then as Ray arrived half the distance on the nearest zombie, he began accelerating.
Being careful not to consume too much stamina on his movements, it was a controlled acceleration.
with just enough speed to take advantage of the zombie's sluggish movement, he came near the zombie and turned around it with a swing of his right sword before it could even react.
From the stories he had read and the games he had played, the zombie's weakness would always be at the head, so right now, he thought that it was best to aim at it. He didn't know anything about these zombies, so he could only use whatever he could, and right now it was the only knowledge that he had about zombies.
Ray could only feel a little bit of resistance on his sword as it slices the zombie's head in half splashing yellowish liquid.
It seemed that he put too much strength on it. It wasn't as hard as he had thought it would be.
His stats and unique skill probably have something to do with it.
Since slashing is too much, it seems, for now, he should only stab their heads if he could.
But it seems he was right this time, killing these zombies did gave him rewards.
___________________________
[Congratulations! You have killed a Grade 1 Zombie!]
----------------------------
Rewards:
1 Stat Fragment (Item fragment)
1 small soul (Soul)
___________________________
Ray then discovered that the rewards were automatically sent to the group storage.
'It seems that now, I have the reason to kill every zombie here' Ray thought as he then looks at the attracted zombies nearby.
As one more zombie is spawned on the gate there are now 15 again.
Ray moved to the next one.
With almost the same movements.
Appear near it, then turn around the zombie as it reaches for him, then this time instead of a slash, he stabs the back of its head.
As the zombie dropped on the ground, the same words then appeared on his mind.

Then next!
With only the number of zombies around.
There was no suspense.
Stab!
Stab!
Stab! Stab! ...
One thrust, one kill.
With each kill, the same rewards were given to him, until he killed the 17th zombie which was the latest spawned.

Surrounded by the dead zombies, Ray looked around and it seemed that he had also begun to attract the zombies in the four other gates nearby.
Meanwhile the zombies on the other gates had already started moving towards the people at the center.
Another new zombie came out of the gate in front.
But before it could even begin to take another step, it has already been stabbed, dropping to the ground.
There was no golden apple this time.
Ray then began checking the description of the items he had received since there are still a few moments before a new zombie is spawned and seeing that there's still a few distance away from the attracted zombies.

Ray put off using the fragments since he still didn't know which stat to nurture but the Golden Apple is different.

As Ray consume the Golden Apple, he felt refreshed as if he was bathed in cold spring water.

He knew how hard he trained to achieved his current body.
It took him 5 years building it, and he didn't know how many total hours and sweat it had taken him.
And the higher the stats, the harder should it be to increase it through training.
Right now, he didn't even know how long it would've taken him if he would try to increase all his current stats by 1 through training alone.
However, it only needed him 1 apple of weird color to achieve almost such achievement.
It even increases his Mana too.
Ray looked at the people at the center and he could see that several people are throwing various ranged attacks, which were most likely their unique skills.
Stab!
As Ray killed another zombie in front, he began eyeing the zombies coming to him from the other gates.
'it's time to move on to the next gates'

It's been 5 years since Ray had been receiving vivid dreams about him being in an unknown place fighting countless life and death battles. And with him feeling every event on it like it was his own, these dreams had changed him, 

And now here he was, after 5 years of feeling a vague premonition, he was now summoned on a familiar place.

 With Wei Xiao Bei's current perception, it would still be difficult to find a Licker that had just entered the building.
 After thinking about this, he inspected his evolution points that had reached 430 points.
 "Huang Kun, wait for me here."
 After Wei Xiao Bei said this, he lightly pressed on the rubber handrail and jumped on it, and then charged downwards.
 His footsteps were so light that it did not attract the Zombies' attention at all.
 In an instant, Wei Xiao Bei had reached the fourth floor. Seeing that Wei Xiao Bei came down, the Zombies that were crowding around the fourth floor escalator let out a low groan. They extended their hands, attempting to catch Wei Xiao Bei.
 Wei Xiao Bei somersaulted over the Zombies. With a single chop of the machete, a Zombie's head had been cut in half, causing its black blood to splatter out.
 Without waiting for the Zombies to turn around, he took advantage of this moment to swing his machete. The machete passed through the necks of two Zombies, sending their heads flying.
 The ten Zombies that were crowding the escalator were killed off by Wei Xiao Bei in less than 30 seconds.
 This was how powerful a Guo Shu Expert was in a real battle.
 If Wei Xiao Bei did not think about whether the possibilities that the Zombies were infected by a powerful virus, he would have been able to quickly kill the Zombies at a faster time.
 After cleaning up the Zombies crowding around the escalator, Wei Xiao Bei was not greedy. His foot left the ground and headed back up while walking the handrail.
 After repeating this a few more times, Wei Xiao Bei returned back to the eighth floor.
 After stopping Huang Kun from speaking with his hand, Wei Xiao Bei looked at his evolution points that had reached 534 points.
 This should be enough.
 Wei Xiao Bei placed his attention on his perception attribute and quickly use up his evolution points to increase his perception attribute.
 15.01, 15.02, 15.03... 20!
 When it had reached 20 points, Wei Xiao Bei felt his brain assaulted by a fierce rumble. His mind immediately blanked out as if time had stopped.
 After who knows how long, Wei Xiao Bei's mind shook again. He suddenly noticed that he seemed to have something like clairvoyance. He was able to perceive the entire department store and even buildings further away.
 He could sense the Zombies that were moving around, the broken faucet on the second floor toilet, the broken belt under the third floor escalator. He could even sense the two cars that were crashed into each other under the parking lot of the neighboring building.
 As long as he concentrated hard, nothing in a thousand meter radius would be able to escape his perception.
 After a long while, Wei Xiao Bei finally came back to his senses, but his face was still showing a dazed expression.
 The state he entered into was too captivating. He felt like an omniscient god who could perceive anything a thousand meters away.
 His judgement was not wrong at all. Increasing his perception to 20 points was truly a useful thing.
 Response Search!
 This was the ability that he had gained after increasing his perception to 20 points.
 With this ability, it would be hard for any monster to ambush him.
 The only problem was that the side-effect of this ability was a huge consumption of his mental energy.
 After rubbing his head, Wei Xiao Bei sighed. Anything in this world had a price. Even if he paid the required evolution points, he still needed to give extra payment.
 However, other than his newly added ability, his 20 points in perception had allowed him to perceive sound, light, vibrations, smell and many other things from the outside world.
 In simpler terms, although this ability to perceive information from the outside was weaker than the response search ability, it would still allow him to find the enemy's existence.
 In reality, Wei Xiao Bei was slightly in regret after using his ability. He thought about the building that he used to enter The Dust World.
 Although this ability was strong, he did not know if he could use it to find the strange footsteps.
 However, Wei Xiao Bei had a slight premonition that if he used this ability to find the strange footsteps, he would not be satisfied with the result.
 As Wei Xiao Bei was thinking, he heard Huang Kun's voice.
 "Big brother Wei, are you alright??"
 Huang Kun hesitated when he saw Wei Xiao Bei just standing there after returning. In the end, he chose to speak up.
 "I'm fine," Wei Xiao Bei said, as he came back to his senses.
 Seeing that nothing was wrong with Wei Xiao Bei, Huang Kun spilled out the words that he wanted to say, "Your skills are so amazing. Can you teach me how to kill these Zombies?"
 "Oh? I can, but it depends on how brave you are."
 Wei Xiao Bei smiled at Huang Kun.
 Huang Kun was not a bad student in the dojo. When he tried a few Bajiquan techniques, his appeared close to the actual form. However, he was only a junior high school student. His body was not that tall, and he did not have any real battle experience. As for his skill, he was not even close to Wei Xiao Bei's level when Wei Xiao Bei began learning.
 Wei Xiao Bei originally planned to protect him until they left The Dust World.
 However, Wei Xiao Bei then thought about how the boy had even entered The Dust World in the first place.
 And then, he thought about what would happen if he entered again.
 He could not always protect him. He had to teach the boy how to protect himself.
 "Before anything else, how did you come here?"
 Wei Xiao Bei thought about it and immediately asked.
 Huang Kun finally responded. Seeing his big brother Wei's appearance, he guessed that he had been here for a long time. His big brother Wei was not afraid of the Zombies at all, which made him endlessly admire him.
 "I was playing games at home, and then suddenly I was in here."
 Huang Kun told Wei Xiao Bei his experience in a low voice.
 Originally, Huang Kun became extremely interested with Resident Evil after watching the movie. As a result, he downloaded the game and played it for a few nights.
 Today was a Friday. It was self-study time in the afternoon so he immediately returned home to play the game. He controlled the beautiful female protagonist and killed zombies everywhere in the game.
 After playing until he was tired, he rubbed his dry eyes and the next moment he suddenly entered this terrifying place.
 After hearing this, Wei Xiao Bei understood that the way for Huang Kun to enter The Dust World had been through playing games.
 Moreover, the place he entered The Dust World was the same in reality, Huang Kun's home!
 After entering The Dust World, he initially thought that he was dreaming when he was his dust filled room. After understanding that he was not in a dream, the fatty became extremely frightened.
 When he came out of his home, he immediately saw a few swaying Zombies.
 Without a doubt, this made him remember the movie that he had seen.
 After seeing the movies and playing the games, he began to delude himself that he had become the protagonist who carried weapons to kill these zombies, he would save the people and become a superhero by the end.
 Once in a while, every child would dream their own version of becoming a hero. There were those that thought of piloting a fighter plane in the skies, some thought of carrying guns and charging into a battlefield, some thought of piloting a spaceship to fight against alien invaders.
 In short, Huang Kun's dream was normal.
 When he was so close to his dream, he had forgotten his fear about the Zombies. He picked up a rotten wooden stick and charged towards a Zombie.
 His dream was beautiful, but the ending was terrifying.
 Huang Kun endured the disgusting stick and hit the Zombie on its back. After making the Zombie stagger, it immediately turned around and charged at Huang Kun.
 After seeing it face to face, Huang Kun saw the Zombie's shocking appearance face-to-face. The Zombie's ash gray eye ball was about to fall out from its eye sockets. Its face was deathly pale and rotting. Its mouth had yellow and black teeth and a maggot appeared from the inside.
 "Ah!"
 In reality, the Zombies inside the movies and games were terrifying, but there was still a huge difference compared to real Zombies.
 No matter how big his guts were, Huang Kun was only a junior high student, a 14 year-old.
 In the short amount that he lived, let alone a real Zombie, he had never even seen the rotting corpse of an animal.
 It was easy to imagine how terrified he was when he saw the Zombie's disgusting face.
 He shouted in fear, turned around and ran for his life.
 As a result, the 700 strong Zombie group was attracted to his shout.
 In the end, he ran for who knows how long and encountered Wei Xiao Bei.
 Combining this method with the way Huang Da Jun entered The Dust World, Wei Xiao Bei was able to discover that there were differences between how people entered The Dust World. If he wanted to truly understand The Dust World, it would be a difficulty beyond just difficult.
 After listening to Huang Kun's experience, Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and decided to bring Huang Kun down to give him evolution points.
 Moreover, he wanted to see what kind of changes would happen if someone other than him killed the Zombies.
 When those Zombies had scattered in the department store, their density had decreased. For Wei Xiao Bei, killing all of them now was an easy thing to do.
 As long as a Licker did not appear, Wei Xiao Bei would have no problem in keeping Huang Kun alive.
 "In a moment, you will observe how I kill the Zombies first. Do you understand?"
 Wei Xiao Bei told him this and then took the lead to go down the escalator. On the other hand, Huang Kun held onto the emergency hatchet and carefully followed behind. The grave look on his face made it seem as if he was holding onto a bomb.
 The Zombies in the sixth floor were the least out of all the floors. Wei Xiao Bei had intentionally left them alone. Right now, there were only five Zombies roaming around the floor.
 Killing them would not give Wei Xiao Bei much evolution points, so he decided to leave them for Huang Kun.
 If Huang Kun did not take the initiative to mention this, Wei Xiao Bei would have brought up the topic.
 "Ha!"
 Wei Xiao Bei moved towards a Zombie and shouted in a low voice. His voice just loud enough to only attract that Zombie's attention. Its body stopped for a moment, and then moved towards the direction of the escalator.


One day, Wei Xiao Bei gets dragged into The Dust World, a post-apocalyptic world ruled by monsters from myths, legends, games, etc. He also gains the power to travel between it and the real world, as well as the power called the 'Status Panel'. With this power, he chooses to strengthen himself to explore the vast mysteries and terror of the other world. What mysteries await him? What is The Dust World?
Author's Synopsis:
What the hell is this? What the hell happened here?
How did my room become so ruined after a single night?
The floor and table were covered in dust, his new poster of Zhang Liang Ying that had just been posted on the wall a few days ago had already become yellow and tattered all over. Even Zhang Liang Ying’s beautiful face became monstrous as if an old devil was looking at him with a terrifying smile.
The walls were covered by a mist of cobwebs and the fruits placed on top of the coffee table were withered and rotted to the point that the mold on them had turned black. The fruits below even seemed to have turned into mush. The aluminium framed window that the landlord had just installed not that long ago was now covered in a layer of white ash and the glass was filled with cracks and covered in dust.
The computer beside his bed was also covered by cobwebs and was accompanied by an empty water glass with a withered worm inside of it.
Dust filled the air making Wei Xiao Bei choke as he tried to breathe.
Everything seemed to be ash gray without any light as if looking at television static.
After just one night, it seemed like everything in the room had aged for centuries or even millennia.
Mother… is this a dream?
This must be a dream!

In that moment, she was thrown out with one flick round half-miles feet away. This made her coughed out blood from extreme momentum. Groaning, she sluggishly to stood from her fall, but gritted her teeth when she saw the male five-high level zombie approach at her.

There was something about her that made the male five-high level zombie interested to her. A strong power lingering to that female human body that caught his attention. He wanted to found out what it was.

She heard a yell on her mind in a frightening tone, "Run!".

Thousands of needles seemingly pricking her brain. They became numb and unbearable, however, she couldn't let herself cry out; her body felt foreign and burning. 'Pain, so much pain.' 

Before he reached to her, suddenly, there was tinkling music filtered through the fading darkness of Erin's consciousness, inviting her to leisurely wakefulness. She lay still, eyes closed, till the melody ended. It was an alarm from her phone, awakening her from the real world. Blinking several times, she fought against the heaviness of her eyelids as she struggled to keep her eyes open, the shadows of the dim room sharpened into her dresser, her cheval mirror. 

She glanced at the papers scattered on the bedside table, leaving the chair neatly put to where it supposed on the position.

She has sworn that the remaining memories she had last night were sitting on her desk, sketching of various kinds of zombies, and a few drafts for the next video games storyline. She had joined a company; one of the most high-tech games on the market. She was team up on the zombie section. Her role was taken in charge of the storyline. Amazing isn't it? So it is possible she had known the cure of the virus that had implanted from the human veins. 

Earlier, she had this strange dream. 

Mind bombarded with thousands of images. There was a fire, a city, undead, the sea of corpses and blood. "Find the cure." The words flashed into her memory, followed closely by an onslaught of images. An old crowned dying man, a box and a key. She could feel her heart breaking at the man as she said farewell to the old man. 'The King. Her father', a female voice echoed in her mind.

She was sorting out the images as they appeared. She stood unmoving as she registered everything bit by bit. Amongst the blurred images, a particular shadow covered in blood and it has raw ill-intent gave her some sort of fear.

Achathia is a kingdom coated with magic and swords. Heroic soldiers sacrificed their lives to protect the kingdom. In this land, zombies are normally seen everywhere and people dying every day in which you couldn't stop, losing the lives of their loved ones around them. Princess Aria lived her life in the lap of luxury: ruling the land by and beheading those who defied her every evening. Despite being a princess, she needs to know how to hold a sword in order to defend her family; the same as everyone else in the kingdom. Beneath an unbreakable curse cast at this land, in order to survive Princess Aria needs to find an elusive mage to unfold the curse in reverse. 

There were fire and smoke,
Blood and corpses,
People were paranoid,

Mindless zombies roam the earth -
each city, state, and street.
Countless corpses corrupt the land;
The undead, they never sleep.

To live in a world of this apocalypse,
you must learn to kill what you love,
and love what can die.

To his right, there was a man wearing a white uniform running towards him like where was no tomorrow with a shotgun swaying by his waist. If he looked normal, it would have been fine but the problem was this person's clothes almost turned red because of blood and there was a bite sized chunk of flesh missing on his neck. Another step was all it took and the man lunged at Mark like a hungry beast.
Even though Mark broke into cold sweat that moment, his reflexes did not betray him. His blood boiled up as he stepped sideways dodging the zombie's pounce. While it was still in mid-air in front of him, he gave it a heavy swing of his bat coming from above. The swing totally missed the zombie's head but it directly smashed unto the nape of its neck.
Cracking sounds of bones creepily entered his ears when the heavy metal bat made contact. The impact halted the momentum of its pounce and the zombie fell on the floor with its neck bent backwards more than normally it would be able to.
Giving out a few twitches, it almost stopped moving. Why almost? Because its head was still moving! Mark's counter attack broke its neck and severed all its ability to move its body but still, its brain remained intact. And thus, it was still "alive". Still, he can't help but notice that it was weaker. Probably because of his attack but he did not know for sure.
The head glared at mark like it was looking at its prey while growling with its mouth that puked out blood.
Mark on the other hand glared back at the zombie but he was actually trying to get used to the sensation he felt just now. Even if Mark did not hesitate to give it a killing blow, it was still the very first time he tried to kill a person in real life even if it was a zombie. In the video games he played every day, killing was a normal matter as a large variety of games work by the system of killing enemies, whether it would be humans, monsters or something else.
Also, the feeling of being close to death was suffocating. After all, it truly was a close one. If his instincts did not kick in, just getting pounced on was not the end of it.
The sensation of being near death and killing in real life was totally different. Mark was actually shivering and his heart was pounding loudly as he tried to hold his metal bat tighter. After getting a few mouthfuls of air, he started to make himself calm down.
He stared at the familiar zombie that was lying on the floor in front of him. It was familiar since he saw this person just a while ago. Failing to reload his gun on time, he got bitten on his neck by a zombie that pounced on him. It was the guard on the first floor earlier who vanished when Mark was not looking. As evidence, the unloaded shotgun that still had its chamber opened lay beside the zombie as it was strapped around his body.
This zombie guard had no other injury aside from the bite he got earlier and the broken neck inflicted by Mark. This way, Mark was able to assure himself that how it was like in the movies. A single bite from a zombie can turn a person into one. He had the idea that there might be other factors for transmission like blood and excrement but Mark had no time or way of knowing for now.
As time was very important, Mark decided to continue mulling over these things later. Steeling his heart, he raised his baseball bat once more and mercilessly swung it on the head of the former guard. An iron like smell scattered in the air as the of the guard blood splashed on the floor.
Mark gave the bat another swing to the side to get rid of the blood splashed on it and kicked the dead zombie to make it lay on its back. Covering his hand with a handkerchief, he carefully removed one end of the strap connected to the shotgun and pulled the gun off the zombie's body. He then detached the buckle of the guard's security belt kit and gave it a pull taking the belt with belt bags and pockets away.
Giving the contents of the larger bag behind the belt a short peek, he smiled. He took out several shotgun shells from the bag and filled the shotgun's chamber fully reloading it. He then buckled the belt around his waist as everything inside the pockets connected to the belt contain necessary stuff like a small flashlight on the first pocket and the two-way radio at the pocket next to it. The radio looked broken though as he can't hear any crackling noise from it even if it was turned on.
Without further ado, not even giving the dead zombie guard another glance, he ran towards the central area. It was because he started to hear several screams here on this floor!
Three people gathering supplies in the east wing of the mall were now running away as they are being chased by a fast moving zombie. Further behind them are several more zombies but were slower and staggering while trying to catch up.
Mark saw the three and could not help but commend them in his mind. They did not want to fight as they were afraid. Still, as they ran away, they did not have the impulse to throw away and leave the supplies they found.
The three men were actually running away pushing two carts filled with several large boxes of food in it!
Since the sports gear store he just left was located southern wing near the central area of the mall, he was not that far from the three. As the three were pushing carts of precious food, he did not hesitate and ran towards them to help. Another reason was because he was eager to try out the gun he just took from the zombie guard he had just killed.
Seeing Mark who held a gun in his hand was running towards them, the three men felt elated. They feared to fight the running zombie chasing them and there are more zombies coming from behind. Still, they did not want to leave the food they found with great effort. It was lucky that their job was to restock food at stalls so they knew where to find these carts. They found the carts and also emptied the stall that they should be delivering the supply to but before they can take everything, they saw the zombies unsteadily climbing the escalator with a fast moving one leading in front.
"Continue running!"
Mark ran past the three and shouted. Of course, the three men would not dare to stop even if he did not shout.
He then stopped running and stood not far from the zombie rushing towards his direction. As he saw the zombie, Mark thought how lucky those three was. If it was a normal fast running zombie, they would not make it without leaving the carts of food. However, the zombie chasing them had only one foot! Only its right foot was intact and the other was left with a stump just above the ankle. Trails made of blood that dripped from its bleeding leg could be seen at the path it ran before. There was no doubt that this zombie was in the same standard as the guard Mark killed earlier but it was greatly hindered by its disability.
As the zombie tried its beast rushing at him, Mark held the metal bat on his left and the pulled shotgun from his left side with his right hand. When he got his hand on this gun, he was actually itching to try and shoot it. This shotgun may be short bodied but it still did not lack a good punch. A gun was just one in the list of an Otaku's most wanted items.
He stepped his left foot backwards turning his body to the side as his right hand aimed the shotgun forward. He could only aim like this as he did not want to make the mistake of putting down his baseball bat and the shotgun was a model without a stock. As a gamer and an Otaku, he had quite a good amount of knowledge about guns. Even if he wanted to hit the zombie's head, he aimed the gun a little lower as he minded the recoil.
BANG!
Mark felt his right hand go numb after pulling the trigger while blood of the zombie splashed everywhere. The zombie's head flew off the terrace and its body was pushed back by a stem back because of the impact before it slumped to the floor. Despite it was shot with a shotgun, the body did not receive enough impact as it should as the zombie was not hit in the center of its body. Still, the head did not explode like a watermelon being smashed on the floor either. It was because the zombie was hit by the gunshot…
On its neck…


It was just a normal morning but it was unknown to many that the apocalypse already started.

The origin was not determined but the infected started to appear after a cosmic event happened just outside of the Earth’s atmosphere.

The people and animals turned into man-eating mutants and zombies while some of the lucky ones gained superhuman abilities. Every living creature that had not "turned" started to evolve as the whole world was affected by the Mutagen.

However, it seemed that Earth also had its hidden side that humans would discover in a very uncanny way.

And was Mutagen the last of it?

Unfortunately, not.

Follow Mark, an Otaku, a Gamer, and a Shut-in that got trapped in the middle of the apocalypse due to an uncanny reason. Using his unconventional thinking, knowledge, and abilities, how far can he go in surviving the apocalypse filled with zombies, mutated beings, and dangerous people as a survivor in a world that was changing for the worse.

Beau enters in a market in it was another NPC that goes by the name of Erika Perez with two players. one of them is "Doctor Middle Finger" and the other one is "Alpha Purple Warrior" Beau doesn't know them personally but he has heard those usernames before and he has play games with them before so he know that he is in front of two of the greatest players and he starts to think that he might had an opportunity. 
"Doctor Middle Finger" is a well known Korean player and he always tries to keep his avatar similar to him. "Alpha Purple Warrior" is a dude from Libya who came to the United States to become a professional gamer.
after a long argument Beau was able to know those two better and he was able to understand that he wasn't the only one stuck in the game. those two had the exact same problem that him. there was a simple Quest and after winning "Pandora's box" they opened it and then they couldn't log out.
"Doctor Middle Finger" is crying and talking about the things that he haven't accomplish while "Alpha Purple Warrior" is cursing and breaking things inside of the market. Beau is like nothing has happen drinking grape juice while eating chips. Joaquin is impressed to see no reaction on Beau. "Alpha Purple Warrior" walks towards Beau (he is still angry but he is trying to control it) he looks at Beau's emotionless face.
"are you sure this man is not another NPC?"
asked Alpha Purple Warrior unable to understand why Beau doesn't show any reaction.
"I am human as hell. well now that we are talking I want to introduce myself. I am the one and only "Lord Golden Ass" you might know my name after all we had played in previous games from the company Son of Sun and we had been recognized as some of the best. I know this whole "this fucked up situation is our new reality" is hitting hard but to be honest I don't have anything else awaiting for me in the real world and this game is fun like hell also I am arrogant enough to believe that someone, that maybe one of the many fuckers who called themselves my friends would eventually help me find my way out of this fucked up situation."
said Beau smiling.
"thanks for the trashy speech. it really help me to calm my nerves. I am scared like hell and I had younger siblings awaiting for me at home. our parents died and I am the only one who takes cared of them so please "Lord Golden Ass" helped me, pleased helped me to stay alive in this game."
said Doctor Middle Finger crying.
"Pork Rind. I don't know you guys but that is my price in exchange for every time I saved any of your asses. I want you pals to buy me Pork Rids in the real world and if any of you has a cute sister or female cousin she has to be my fiancee."
said Beau with a creepy smiled.
"you are a creep. if you get closed to my sister in real life I would murder you."
said Alpha Purple Warrior furious.
Facts About Son of Sun: the Username that you used in your first game is the same username that you are forced to used in every other game from the same company unless you had two accounts then you can had a Second Username. the reason why the Company Son of Sun applied this Rule to the Users is because it is easier to identify those with talent and be recruited to be a Professional Gamer and also if someone Cheats or Hacks in one of the games his name would be known to everyone and that person would carried the shame of being a cheater in every game he enters from the company even if he cheated only ones. there is also another hidden reason and that is because that is an easier way for the Deities to choose which player would become a "human Offering" in which game.
Joaquin is giving instructions to the players about the first chapter and how to unlocked chapter two but he warns them that whatever happens they shouldn't try to killed the Boss Level Monster or they might put their own lives in risk for nothing. Joaquin explains that there are many things that they can get for killing the Level Boss but that is because that son of bitch is hard as hell to kill and that is how most of the players get themselves killed. he also explains one more thing and that for this game they need to be in a party and that is why Joaquin with the help of the other NPCs brought them together at this market. the party needs to be in between four or six people.
Beau wants to give a name to their party, a name that sounds terrifying, something like "the Mother-fucking sons of Devils" but while he was thinking and while "Alpha Purple Warrior" was still in a state of rage "Doctor Middle Finger" choose the name without asking the others. they are officially Squad-Bravo- Holly Mommy- One. everyone else was pissed and ashamed of being in a party with that kind of name.
Julio told them that he couldn't be part of their group because he wants to help more humans that are stuck in the game just like them so he stayed in the Market. the rest of them left at sunset and there were barely any zombies on the streets that fortunately were just level one and were killed easily without wasting time nor a drop of sweat. the road is long with many obstacles and more than one U turn or Dead End but for this six warriors that is nothing.
while they were walking in direction to their first Quest as a team they received a notification with all of the other teams out there. the information was basic the only thing that they knew was the quantity of teams and the number of members on each team. Joaquin explained to them that each party/team has different missions in the first chapter but the relationship in between the players would become more complicated with each chapter that they survived. he even warned them that at some point they won't even know in who they should trust. the purposed of this game is not just to sacrificed humans to the Gods but because the specific God that rules over this game is no other than Hades the God of the underworld he wants the "Offerings" to revealed their true nature before they are judge and eventually killed/eaten by him.
they entered on a Barber Shop and their Quest was to Killed "the Psychotic Zombie Barber" and to freed the prisoners on his Barber Shop also they had to be careful with the employees. Beau enters on the Barber shop holding a shotgun and he blows up the brains of one of the employees. he keeps walking blowing up each of those bastards like if it is nothing. he realizes that on the chairs are at least four people tied up with their head covered by a bag. the others get inside and while Joaquin and his friends are trying to freed the prisoners "Alpha Purple Warrior" and "Doctor Middle Finger" are searching for the "Psychotic Zombie Barber" while they are searching on the whole building Beau is loading his shotgun and he notice that all the prisoners are already free and most of them are already gone. only one of them stayed and he has a familiar face and username.
"Teacher Hero" is looking directly at him in the eyes and he even hugs him and after a few minutes he starts touching Beau's face and arms and then he starts to punch him in the face. everyone else looks at them in confusion. "Teacher Hero" has teary eyes and he doesn't know if what he has seen is real or not but what he knows is that "Lord Golden Ass" is in front of him. "Teacher Hero" hugs him again.
"just stop it Hunter you are making me feel uncomfortable with my new friends also why the hell are you Ginger on the game when you are already Ginger in real life."
said Beau embarrassed to had such an awkward friend.
"how the hell is possible that you are still alive. don't get me wrong I am glad but how is this possible I saw your ashes with my own eyes."
said "Teacher Hero" trying to hold his tears.
"my ashes? wait did they cremated me? damn Americans they did me wrong because I am not one of them."
said Beau feeling wronged.
"oh, no. you died on a fire and your whole body was burned so badly that there were barely any ashes left but don't worry your collection of pornography was saved by the kid of your neighbors and he is keeping it saved for you."
said "Teacher Hero" with a forced smile.
"damn my Jr. was gone in a fire and I didn't even pop my cherry. Oh God. Oh Lord what kind of punishment is that. Oh, not the Jr."
yields Beau with teary eyes on his knees.
"what a loser."
said "Alpha Purple Warrior" smirking.
"don't say that to a virgin who would never lose his virginity, that is just beyond mean."
said "Doctor Middle Finger" worried.
while they were busy making fun of Beau they forgot about the whole point of the Quest and while they were distracted the "Psychotic Zombie Barber" fall from the ceiling and he kicked "Alpha Purple Warrior" with so much strength that "Alpha Purple Warrior" was smashed against the wall, he trows up blood. with a single punch on the stomach "Doctor Middle Finger" was on his knees. Beau takes his shotgun out and he aims at the head but he wasn't fast enough and "Psychotic Zombie Barber" kicked him in between the legs leaving Beau unconscious for a few seconds. in a few seconds Erika was on the floor with a broken arm. Marisol was on the floor with a few broken ribs. Joaquin and "Teacher Hero" were the last two standing. Joaquin is kicked in the back with so much strength that his body was thrown against the front door braking it. Beau wakes up and he takes his shotgun and he shoots at the "Psychotic Zombie Barber" Beau smirks before he shoots in between the legs of the Zombie killing it and earning fifty experience points for the whole team. he looks at a few items standing in front of him.
"I am vengeance bitch. you hit my Jr. and I blow up yours."
said Beau with a creepy smiled and rage in his eyes.
among the items that they got there were a few med kits, a few adrenaline syringes, holly bullets, two shields created with the bones of a zombie level twenty-two. an item to invoke a "Guardian" they put everything on a backpack. "Teacher Hero" couldn't stay with them because their team was full but he promised to Beau that he would do anything in his power to help him. he would search in the real world for a way to bring him back and in game he would help to keep him alive. Beau thank him and then they said goodbye to each other.
there is something that they didn't know and that is the fact that "The Ferryman" was observing them. he was enjoying of the way things were working on his favor. he had planned everything from the beginning. he laughs like a true villain out of comic book. he is enjoying of his power but then he stops laughing when he realizes that he is not the only one observing them. he turns around to see Pandora holding a wooden box.
"Madam, a pleasure to see you in such a mundane side of this world."
said The Ferryman smirking.
"don't worry I had seen more mundane things like your disgusting smile. I know that you are no more than a dog that does the dirty work of his owner and master Hades but don't you dare to look down on me just because I am in the side of the humans because I am not alone."
said Pandora with a gentle smile.
