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.

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."

Derek entered the XXX product store with Matsushima and as if he were a child in a candy store he began to assemble his happiness package but first of all he dedicated himself to cleaning the store completely, outside he killed the zombies that were there, Sacks of sand appeared that he placed around the store on the street creating a very good defense.

 

While he was still doing the work he remembered that why he had to work if he has slaves who can do that because he appeared to Kirito crazy traps and other more generic types to whom he put his green suit of soldier with horse masks, the scene is a little scary and more so considering that he armed them with gatlings, grenade launchers and magnums.

 

While they are in charge to turn this into a small fortress, Derek began with the previous games with the official Matsushima.

 

He laid the officer down on a white bed where he could see her well-defined body, considered it boring to have sex while she did not show any sign of pleasure, of course asking a dead man to do that was a bit excessive but he would try to fix this error, He pulled out a green tube and suddenly remembered one of Miyuki's words. "Look, bastard, one more member of the harem and you're out of sex and in a cage for a month." Derek is not afraid of not having sex but in the cage he would not get his pleasure from to be hit that is afraid of Derek.

 

Since he could not have a new member of the harem he can do to solve this problem, while he thought his hips were moving colliding with Matsushima's ass his penis went in and out of his cold vagina pleasure should help him think better.

 

While Derek "thought" having a good sex with a zombie, the calm of the city was lost of course it is normal to hear gun noises but hearing a shootout in the middle of the city meant that something big was happening as they sounded like weapons. high power.

 

The group of Takashi and Shido along with others wanted to know what happened in that place the problem is that the center is full of zombies is a completely deadly area for the human but the instinct to know that maybe there is something else.

 

Another group that was interested in what was happening was the School Living Club, a group of students who had survived the zombie incident, Yuki a girl with pink hair heard on the radio about the shots that were ringing in the center of the city It was said that they were part of the military that had survived and that they were cleaning the place, with nothing to lose they decided to go and investigate, it is better than not to find life.

 

Around the XXX store the soldiers of Derek commanded by Kirito cleaned the place during the last hours they have cleaned building by building, to begin to build concrete fortifications quite resistant all the block has been decontaminated and now the outer perimeter of concrete is being built prefabricated, the more they advance more labor needed so Derek appeared many more soldiers with the same clothes and materials, a parkour expert toured the center full of zombies to record what or who were those who were shooting relentlessly.

 

On one of the buildings he could see and record with his phone as soldiers with a horse mask cleaned the bodies of zombies, dragging the bodies to small pits that once filled the soldiers with flamethrowers began to burn them, you could also see how they placed walls of concrete that were already prefabricated, in the streets creating what appeared to be a fort that seemed to be able to withstand the onslaughts of the zombies, recorded many more things than online public, capturing that there is no wifi signal the satellites are still serving therefore the video was reproduced by those who were still in the city.

 

The comments are divided into 2 first those who thought that they were an army group that had gone mad because of horse masks or that they were a group of military that belonged to a special group in any way seemed to be elite had to risk investigating.

 

While outside the situation exploded, Derek could not find the right way to give feelings to a zombie himself that occupying his research skills came to the conclusion that a translator should occupy so he appeared to Asuna and forced him to speak for the official Matsushima.

 

Derek took some Chinese balls and placed enough lubricant to slide slowly but effectively over Matsushima's rectum, "Very well my beautiful officer is time to train your beautiful and delicious anal sphincter I want you to tell me if you like it"

 

The Chinese balls were entering the anus of the smallest to the largest, while he slowly put it kneading the buttocks with his free hand as if they were dough for bread, Asuna perfectly dubbed what Matsushima wanted to say "It feels good Derek-Sama , please continue, my inner expands and feels subarashii "when the Chinese balls came in completely pulled them out," Ahh Derek Sama Onegai introduce them again and I took them out more strongly, if you do it that way I can feel like If I lost my conscience, "Derek pushed them back and forth again and again until Matsushima started to drool with pleasure.

 

The next thing she introduced was a dildo with a rather large vibrator which reached the bottom of her rectum, turned on the vibration function and arranged her buttocks in front of him very carefully put his penis in her vagina while feeling like her The interior had adapted to the size of his glans, when he reached the womb his body trembled even more than even the vibrator.

 

"Derek-Sama I feel that being penetrated by the vagina and the anus will break me please destroy me I was a very bad zombie" Said Asuna translating Matsushima

 

Derek is a man who meets began to hammer his womb with his penis, while getting and took the dildo from his anus, this continued until "I cum Derek-Sama, fill me completely with your seed", Matsushima's vagina tightened his penis So strong that Derek ran to the moment letting all his cum out in his womb.

 

The night was young and the games continued for hours from bondage to role-playing games Zombie nurse or Zombie Master, after freeing her seed and completely filling her scent to the officer Derek fell asleep with her penis embedded in Matsushima's anus, It had been a great night of sex ...

            °•○● - Step 10            /T

*You may think like you took many lives in a war. But you only had a share in taking those lives. Did you actually hit the last shot-the finishing blow? You can't know for sure.*
Eren also didn't know. He was shooting and hitting a lot, of course. But he had no idea how many lives he had taken. Over time, he tried to aim better without thinking about it. In particular, he helped clear the remaining pioneer group in frontlines of the zombie herd.
20 minutes before the actual zombie horde arrives, he put down his gun and left the rest to the professionals. The pain in his head had increased. He felt like vomiting but kept it in his throat.
Eren was even sure he had a serious fever.
[It is like I had slept for hours under the sun on a beach. And consumed a liter of vodka before it. It feels like shit]
But he somehow knew that the problem wasn't just bugs or anything physical. He had already taken the medicines and had always eaten the same packet of food that was good for his body. He was eating it for almost a year already. Also, the clouds in this world did not allow the sun to come down directly. Heat-stroke would be a miracle among miracles on this planet.
Something was strange.
Eren closed his eyes and relieved his dried and burning eyes. He sat down on a cool stone, with his head leaning against the wall in a shady spot. The coldness of the stone felt so good that Eren was beginning to believe he would recover for a few minutes.
But then a new ringing was heard in his head, and shapes appeared.
"... + möm% bvvb ^ & zxzzx / dfpğpüy ()) ghpjkk '!' sffg? -ehg + / tuo * / é ..."
It was blurry and ridiculous before. He began to think it was a language he didn't know.
[They said genetic vaccines could have side effects. Is it that kind of thing?]
But Eren had begun to develop a small genetic trait without realizing it. Nobody had told this. Seconds later, the same ringing appeared in his head. His whole body trembled.
The blurry thing, like a text, became a little more noticeable.
[Maybe these are not texts but passwords or something. I wonder if I'm going crazy? Is this DaVinci's code kind of thing?]
"... + Sev% bvvb ^ & zkrit / dfpğpüy ()) inside! 'Sffg? -Ehg + / surname * / z ..."
Before Eren could think about the weird and fun theories of him, the sound that had been heard faster and faster rang out again. It was heard without leaving Eren the opportunity to prepare.
The texts have changed again. It was as if with every ringing, Eren could see something better than before. But it was clear that his body was also feeling worse.
"... + for level% bvz criteria / dfpforpus ())! 'Sffehg + / completed * / z ..."
Eren put his forehead on another cold part of the wall because of this headache. He banged his head against the wall in case something would get better. But his head was not an old TV and he felt even worse. Realizing that it wasn't good, he stopped hitting his head and leaned his forehead on another cold spot.
The writing was fully legible when the last ringing was heard.
[I have completed the criteria for leveling up]
[Completed? - I did? - Wtf..]
It was something like Eren's usual inner voice. Even though it looked like a text, Eren heard his own inner-voice when he read it.
As he focused on the text, he remembered the logical things that it didn't tell and that Eren shouldn't know. These were information that his logic didn't produce. 
For example, the chains in his body were broken by genetic upgrading. These chains were genetic level shit and they were holding a normal human to live longer. But also it was pressuring the body to lave minimum levels. You can run faster than a cheetah or jump 5 meters. But it would be meaningless if it hurt or even shreds your body into pieces after you do that. So genetically human body like every other creature would have a natural chain in it.
But after the genetic vaccine, he could use his body better.
The second and the most important thing was Eren understood his body gathered something necessary to evolve more. It would do thanks to both the creatures he eats or the creatures kills. Both would work for Eren but this time killing other creatures was the reason.
The last thing he understood but wasn't sure how was that his body was about to explode.
As he looked at the sentence about leveling up, he realized that he had to make a choice and improve. The things his body collected were piled up and about to overflow. He should spend that now!
[If these were nutritional raw materials, my body would store, use or turn them to fat. But it's kind of like "invisible-genetic exp". I have to spend it...]
As he understood what the sentence was telling him, a new ringing appeared. Longer and more complex sentences appeared after the sound.
+ STRENGTH : 2.6/2.7
! PERCEPTION : 2.9 
+ ENDURANCE : 2.6 
+ CHARISMA : 2.6 
+ INTELLIGENCE : 2.6   
+ AGILITY : 2.6   
! LUCK ( Chance): 2.9     
Eren remembered an old game he liked to play with his friends on Earth after he saw this list of stats. Even when he first looked at his comm after the genetic upgrade, these names were easy to get used to. After months of seeing these stats, he always thought about games on Earth. It was weird.
In games, he also strengthened his character and increased its features in many games he played as a child. So, Eren was used to this kind of thing.
The most important thing he remembers was these improvements would always be beneficial for the character. Perhaps with the help of the popular gaming culture of his old world, he completely trusted the sentences in his head. Knowing that it wouldn't hurt yourself was speeding things up.
He looked at features that he didn't even have to read the meanings. When he thinks about the titles, he would know the effects. There were exclamation marks next to the "Luck" and "Perception" features.
At the beginning of every other stat, the + option appeared.
But Eren used to like boosting one stat over others and become OP in games. So, he focused on Perception even if there was a "!" next to the "perception" category. He was wondering if there would be a difference between 2.9 and 3.0.
"Ringing in head...!"
As soon as Eren tried this, he heard a refusing ringing in his brain. And that way he tested what the! mean. Exclamations mean "fuck off, choose something else!".
This time Eren chose his weakest feature, "power".
He just had to think about clicking + symbol and it did by itself. Every cell of his body tingled as he did. He felt that his high fever suddenly subsided. His body was feeling fine except for this tingling.
This sensation of both hot and new cold with tingling continued for almost half a minute. Before he opened his eyes, he was sure his body was stronger now. An improvement in his bones and external large muscles.
He saw that where it said "Power" it was now "2.7" instead of "2.6".
Eren opened his eyes and checked his body. It wasn't tingling anymore. A smile showed up on his tired face after feeling better than before.
He took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit it. Also opened a small mini water bottle and sipped water from time to time.
He decided to investigate this new situation as soon as the zombie issue was resolved. It was enough to talk to Tris. He put his cigarette between his lips, went to pee, and entered the toilet queue below. When he finally relaxed and left, he looked around like someone new.
It felt like he was emptied both physically and mentally. It was as if he suddenly felt the whole sensation of one night's non-stop sex. Both spiritually and physically.
He heard a soldier shouting like "zombies approaching" and pressed the earphone in his left ear.
"Eren Yıldız is arriving at his place of duty. I am ready for orders."
He closed his eyes for a moment as he listened to the soldiers who, like himself, indicated their positions and conditions through the headphone.
When he closed his eyes, he saw the usual darkness. But when he looked hard enough, he saw that something tiny was there. As soon as he gave his attention, what was normally insignificant grew and turned into a screen. A screen is full of numbers and explanations.
Eren was glad that this thing didn't vanish after just one upgrade. It felt comforting to have the opportunity to improve whenever you want.
*- STRENGTH : 2.7    It represents physical strength. It shows the quality and strength of bones and externally scattered muscles.
*- PERCEPTION : 2.9  Shows how sensitive the sense organs are. (Depends on Agility and Intelligence levels)
*- ENDURANCE : 2.6  It indicates the quality of blood, muscles, and organ tissues inside the body. It is a direct indicator of the amount of energy. (Depends half of the Strength level)
*- CHARISMA : 2.6  Demonstrates language & social skill and knowledge in.
*- INTELLIGENCE : 2.6    It shows the quality of the brain cells and naturally -potential intelligence. (Depends on Agility, Perception and, Luck)
*- AGILITY : 2.6    It shows the quality of the nervous system and its ligaments. It allows the body to do things faster. Although it represents speed, it shows the speed of the nervous system, not general speed. (Depends on Strength, Intelligence and, Luck levels)
- LUCK ( Chance): 2.9      It is the natural and hereditary legacy that the body had before its' genetic upgrades. It shows the natural features that enable the person to evolve critical abilities. Value shows the standard level of the race if there is no inheritance (2.5 for humans) (Represents original genetic heritage from family or older generations)
EXP (Genetic Accumulation): 0 / 10.000
Before seeing unimaginable numbers of zombies came running to town, Eren found enough time to test a single thing before losing himself in battle. He wondered how many exp he earned per zombie. He carefully aimed and shot a few times-then closed his eyes and looked at the exp bar.
EXP (Genetic Accumulation): 2 / 10.000
It can't be. So, I haven't gotten this much exp since these zombie incidents started. I wonder if 10,000 is needed for each level? Where did that much exp come from then?
Eren started shooting with questions in his head. More and more bombs were now being thrown at the flocks that seemed to never end. It was complete chaos down there. The land of previously flattened earth was now full of holes ripped by bombs and bloody-hills raised from corpses.
While thinking of cleaning up these many zombie bodies, he noticed something.
Eren thought about the disgusting food bags he had eaten three or four times a day and how much he had consumed in the last year.
[I think the culprit behind that disgusting taste was creature meat. It is even more disgusting now after knowing it]
Even if he earned 3-5 exp from each bag, it was normal to level up only at these times. Moreover, his genetic upgrade was only months ago. What he had eaten before may even have been wasted.
When this event was done, he decided to buy higher-quality food. Then he gave himself to load his gun and shoot.
He used many painkillers and pesticides until evening and even consumed energizing sodas. But at the end of the day, when the exp he got was only 362, he realized that he leveled up with what he had saved for the last months.
Until the evening time and the moment zombies stopped moving, Eren felt that that day would never end.
He had peed on the tanks that were standing behind him several times. And even if it damaged his vision while shooting, he occasionally smoked.
..

He threw himself into the town while his whole body smelt of dirt and sweat. He couldn't keep watch on the wall tonight. Even though his body was strong, he had almost no physical and mental energy.
He slept at the same moment he went to his bed. He would be awakened in the morning with warnings from his watch, with other tired soldiers.
In his dream, he saw big cats and one of the private schools he watched in his old world, attended by rich people. He tried to knock a cat out of a large music room that was trying to break expensive vases. In the meantime, handsome young people made him instant coffee and joked. A good man, who looked at him sympathetically, but Eren was uncertain whether he was a boy or a girl, also gave him food. At the end of the dream, he took the cat out of the room and relaxed after that.
It was a very strange dream.
When Eren woke up with sweat and anger, he realized where he was.
He lit a cigarette and looked at his watch. He had only an hour to go to the wall. He took off his shoes and socks. It looked pretty impossible to get up and take a shower at that moment. He was so lazy that he opened one of the songs from his comm and closed his eyes. 
This song was loaded during his comm's production. It was an emotional melody, but also somewhat reminiscent of non-verbal parts of rock songs. Among other silly and annoying music, this was Eren's only favorite melody.
But as he relaxed, his headache came back with a throbbing in his head amid the music. The animal feeling he had felt all day yesterday had grown more than ever.
[It's not the insects that I feel. Something is coming!]
Eren was instantly prepared to stand up and run towards the wall. But as soon as he got out of the house, he heard the sounds of explosions that started very early. There were some shouts coming from the distance.
"Fuck!"
He couldn't even find the opportunity to light his cigarette and started running.
...

He was not the man of a great love story or adventure. He was a regular student about to take a trip to Europe. But Eren found himself in a different world than getting on a plane and landing in England.
The new world had hellish chaos and dangerous creatures brought by the future.
  Between the cigarette in his hand and his sexual relations with many women, all he wants is to get through the day without dying.
  Every adventure in this alien world is like a stepping stone and every woman he meets while climbing the ladder will add something to him. But each one will also take something from it. That's the price to go higher. Even the Gods cannot escape this fate as they climb this ladder.
* We will watch the fantastic battle of a person who loses something from himself on every step. As the days pass, it will be further away from its old form. He will become more and more distant from being a human as time passes.
* Hope you enjoy this weird saga ;)

When they arrived at the train station, Lenoir and Sydney noticed that Matt had been looking around the surroundings too much. 
"Hey, are you okay?" Lenoir asked.
"I am okay, it's just that…" Matt replied shyly, scratching the back of his head, "It's my first time in a train station, so…"
His two companions were surprised. What kind of VIP was Matt that he hadn't stepped in a train station his whole life?!
[Stay near us all the time!] Sydney scribbled on the board, then showed it to her classmate. She gave him a reassuring smile and tugged on his shirt.
"Yes, I'm afraid I might get lost if I stray too far," Matt said, and he extended his hand to her, "Can we hold hands?"
Sydney hadn't thought what other people may think; she just thought that a VIP like Matt mustn't get lost. She felt responsible for it since the two boys were comforting her due to her condition. 
They held hands, and when Lenoir saw this, he quickly held Sydney's other hand, too. "I'm the oldest one here. So don't get lost, junior students," he chuckled, and even though Matt was the first one, he was pleased to have held Sydney's hand, too.
Matt glared at Lenoir's hand that held Sydney's other hand. He thought that Lenoir had been bold lately. But at the same time, he was relieved that Lenoir was at the stage with Sydney at that unfortunate incident in the concert.
Matt and Lenoir promised Sydney's father that they would do everything to comfort her. He opened up that he was afraid that Sydney might lose all hope because she had been singing almost all her life. He also asked the two lads to look after Sydney in school.
They rode the train from their current location in Kirijo Town to Akino Electric Town (both are within Kasumi Province), just two train stops west.
"Riding the train is so cool!" Matt exclaimed, "I want to buy one for myself."
"Yes, you can, Mr. VIP," Lenoir responded, then patted his shoulder, "Do you think Sydney will be pleased if you always spend your money too much?" 
Matt glanced at the giggling Sydney, who wrote on her board, [Let's use your money in the arcade!]
And so, the three of them searched for an arcade center. Akino Electric Town is like a gamer's capital and a technology center. From electronic spare parts to fully-functioning robots, this town has a complete list of things related to that kind of field.
As the three of them went on walking, they found a street full of arcade centers. They entered the first one on their right.
"Here's the plan, we'll spend 200 yen here, then move on to the next arcade center," Lenoir suggested.
"Why not just spend 1000 yen here? That way we won't get tired moving around," said the confused Matt.
"My, my. You're totally a beginner in these kinds of things! Arcade machines aren't similar in all centers. That's why for us to have a full experience, we should try only a few machines then move to the next center."
"Fine, fine!"
As Sydney observed the two guys, she felt lucky to have them with her to try and cheer her up. But despite her funny companions and the lively environment, she couldn't help but think of the negative things.
When she goes to school on Monday, what would her classmates tell her? She was sure that she'd be a laughingstock, being in that prestigious concert but she didn't get to sing. They expected a lot from her, after all.
Sydney's sigh got noticed by the two, and they stopped playing in the machine where they were pounding the plastic rats that were rising up in random holes.
Lenoir patted Sydney's head, "Sydney, do you not like it here?"
She quickly wrote, [I like it!]
"Then why are you looking sad? Are you thinking about the concert?" he asked again, then stroked her head.
"Syd," Matt uttered, then gave the rubber hammer to her, "Why don't you release your anger on the rats?"
She stared at the rubber hammer for so long, and then nodded. Lenoir inserted a coin on the machine, and the plastic rats started to show up.
Sydney thought about her unfortunate experience as she hit the rats, which released a high-pitched sound everytime she did: "Iiiiiik!"
One coin, two coins, three coins… had been inserted, and Sydney was not yet tired.
Then Lenoir suggested, "I know another game in which you can release your anger, too… The shooting games. Let's kill some zombies!"
They moved to the other arcade machine. There was a big screen, and three plastic guns in front. They took one for each of them
Lenoir explained to them, "Hit every zombie that you see. But monitor your bullets. If you run out of bullets, click the red button at the left side of this gun," he showed where that button was.
"Alright, this will be easy," Matt uttered, then inserted three coins in the machine.
The three of them were so serious in aiming and firing at the zombies when suddenly, Matt's health points turned zero!
"You said it will be easy for you, Matt?" Lenoir chuckled, "Just insert another coin for you to continue."
"Well, the zombies were too fast, so…" and Matt inserted a coin. He held onto the plastic gun tightly.
Apparently, he was glancing at Sydney's face. Her eyebrows furrowed everytime she fired her gun, and he found it amusing. 
And then his health bar turned zero again.
"Not again…" 
"You should be ashamed, Matt," Lenoir laughed while firing his gun, "Even Sydney's doing a better job than you. You're all talk."
"Well, It's because I-"
He got distracted when Sydney turned her head to look at him. She smiled, then pointed at the coin door.
"Ah, I guess I'll continue, huh…" 
The three of them didn't realize that they already spent an hour on the zombie shooting arcade machine. They went to the other arcade centers and tried many shooting games.
Before sunset, they went back home. After bringing Sydney back to her house, the two of them bid goodbye and left.
"Oh, you're back," Sydney's dad uttered as he read a thick book in the living room. "How's the date?"
"It's not a date, it's a love triangle date," Snider said in a playful expression, "So, what's the score, Sydney?"
She responded and wrote, [What score?]
"Who did better today? Your senior, or your classmate?"

[COMPLETED]
"I will still like you even if you can't sing anymore."

-------
Sydney McKee has always been a great singer. Because of her talent, she was noticed by VIP student Matt Duncan, who has just transferred to their school from England. And also, her senior Lenoir Hans fell in love with her voice!

But destiny challenged her when she found out that her throat needs to undergo surgery, and her beautiful voice is in danger.

When Sydney becomes voiceless, how will Matt and Lenoir fight for her affection? And how will Sydney confess her love to the guy she likes the most, despite her illness?

-------

Volume 1 PREVIEWS:

*Lenoir, the Senior

Sydney’s house was only a few blocks away from the school. While they walked, they talked about what they wanted to sing for the concert.
“I think I’m going to sing a love song,” Lenoir told her. 
“Something that can make your heart melt, Sydney.” He stared at her, and he meant what he just said!
Sydney chuckled, not taking her senior’s words seriously. “Geez, you’re a sweet talker! I am so not going to fall for that!”

*Matt, the Rich Boy Classmate

It's nearly ten in the evening. Olivet had already fallen asleep, while Sydney tossed and turned, 'Great. I can't sleep.'
Losing every hint of sleepiness, she took a flashlight and crawled out of the tent.
To her surprise, she saw Matt just outside, holding two sticks of grilled corn. She asked jokingly, "Why are you here? Are you stalking me?"
He laughed at her, "Yes and no."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"My tent is just beside yours, Sydney," he said pointing at it.
"Then why are you right in front of ours?" she raised her eyebrow.
"I didn't hear you snoring, so I thought you might be awake," Matt said with a grin, obviously teasing her.
"Hey, I don't snore!!!!! Why you-"
Her violent reaction got cut off when Matt placed the grilled corn on her mouth!
"You'll wake everyone. Keep quiet and eat with me," he said, then winked at her.

Chapter 190 – Power Leveling
'Ah, her level jumps again.'
In the middle of grassland before the newbie town, Dove kept staring at the level ranking interface with a bright smile on his face.
Two long saw knives hung on a belt in their sheath. Yet, cold air aura came from his weapons.
Dove wiped black blood on his hands as he stored a corroding zombie before him into his inventory. He glanced at his VIP inventory with a wry smile.
'I shouldn't have saved a few diamonds and items from the beta period. Too bad, I have sold everything besides the japtems.'
Only miscellaneous items from beta-testing time remained in Dove's inventory, such as canned food, firearms, bullets, and medicines. However, they were enough to help Dove progress faster.
Still, it took many hours to kill a corroding zombie. By the time he managed to kill it, Misha had already progressed to level 38.
.
**********************************************
<<Level Ranking>>

**********************************************
.
The top rankers kept changing their position as they were hunting strong monsters.
Although killing one strong monster gave them enough EXP to increase many levels at once, it took forever to take one down because of their defense and the monsters' deadly attacks.
Still, Dove got the gist of their attack patterns.
Dove had to focus his character's AGI and DEX again to use his agility to out-maneuver the monsters. Once his speed got higher, the power-leveling would be a lot easier.
Also, he started the game with a unique race.
.
**********************************************
<<Overmind>>
The extinct race, which was once a powerhouse during pre-World War III. They used to be considered as the evolution of humanity, but the Demon King hunted them down to the last man.
You are one of the survivors. Although your race has been cursed by the Demon King Mia and his wives, you can awaken your true potential to fight against the demon's army by exploring the world and clean the world from monsters with your psychic power.
<<Perks>>

'Time to find another monster. I can't fall behind this time.'
.
.
While the top 8 had no trouble grinding against monsters or working on quests, ordinary players began complaining about the game.
"The game has no tutorial!"
"I can't find quests!"
"Where to get weapons to kill monsters?"
"Monsters are too hard!"
"No adventurer guild!"
Then, players who were envious of the rankers started accusing the top 10 players.
"Is Misha and others using cheating tools? How are they leveling so fast?"
"I've been grinding all day, but I'm still level 10! They're hackers!"
"I've been monitoring their level. All of their levels jump 3 to 5 levels at once!"
"That Misha has just leveled up from 29 to 38 in one go! I reckon that should have been about 30000 EXP to get that far. Is that even possible!?"
"She has to kill something with a power of 2500 or higher to get that even if she has that VIP10 privilege!" 
"ALL TOP 10 ARE CHEATERS!!"
The flood of troll and hater comments lasted for an hour after the first in-game day had passed. Then, several professional players began to voice their opinion.
"I remember that Donovan Jester was once a professional player from other games. Since a certified pro-gamer can get that far, there must be something that you don't know. Also, I've reached level 18 so far. The monsters are tough, but if you pick the right spot to grind, your EXP flow should be smoother."
"All of you whiners are noobs. Explore the goddamn game and find a master of a craft!"
"^As he said. There are hidden masters in the game."
"I have a clip of Misha wandering in the city with a grey name. She has that AK-47 with her. That should explain everything."
"^Share us, please."
"^^ How did she get that!?"
"^^^ I explored the slum area and found a suspicious building. I was killed by the bouncers when I approached them, though."
"^^^^ I also saw Sasha entering that building! There must be some secret in there!"
The social media went wild as the speculation began to get exaggerated by rumors.
Unbeknownst to the uproar, all former beta-testers continued their second day of gaming.
.
.
After getting shooed by Walter and Arthur, Misha wandered around the 1500-power corroding zombie area.
She aimed her rifle at the nearest zombie, who had not detected her yet.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
A burst-fire of three bullets hit the zombie's chest.
12!
15!
13!
Red numbers floated as they represented the damages that Misha had dealt to the zombie.
However, the 1500-power corroding zombie had 300 HP. She could not kill it easily with a few bullets.
*SCREECH*
As usual, it screamed to attract all of its friends and other monsters nearby.
"It aggros other monsters again."
*Mew* (Keep shooting. Don't forget to activate the flame field. I have your back.)
"Roger."
Misha and Tama decided to use a tag-team strategy by having Misha dealing as many damages she could against the monsters before her. Meanwhile, Tama would use her tentacles to kill anything that sneaked behind Misha.
However, had the situation been out of their control, the jetpack on Misha's back would send them flying toward the city again.
Currently, the vultures had disappeared from the sky, which was the golden chance for using the air route as an emergency escape route. Still, they could not fly while shooting the zombies since the jetpacks had limited fuel.
Misha kept running backward as she was concentrating on one zombie.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
After the 25th shot, the first zombie went down purely by the power of an AK-47.
<<You have killed a Corroding Zombie>>
<<You have earned 9010 EXP>>
<<You have earned extra 4505 EXP from VIP10 Privilege>>
*SCREECH*
A corroding zombie jumped at Misha from behind.
Tama's tentacles transformed into blades and slashed the zombie!
75!
89!
69!
250! Critical!
<<You have killed a Corroding Zombie>>
<<You have earned 8800 EXP>>
<<You have earned extra 4400 EXP from VIP10 Privilege>>
Five more zombies flanked Misha from the sides. Meanwhile, 30 more zombies in the area already noticed the commotion.
Misha's hands were busy reloading the rifle, and Tama's tentacles were still occupied with the previous dead zombie. Misha activated her fire barrier.
Flame Field!
The five zombies were knocked back by the sudden fire blast.
<<You have burned a Corroding Zombie, dealing 10 DOT for every 2 seconds for 10 seconds>>
<<You have burned a Corroding Zombie, dealing 10 DOT >>
<<You have burned …>>
<<You have burned …>>
<<You have burned …>>
Five messages of DOT damages appeared.
That was not all. When a burning zombie attacked the fire shield, another set of messages came.
<<The Corroding Zombie had dealt 2,210 damages to your Flame Field Shield!>>
<<The reactive shield flame field reflected 22 damages to the Corroding Zombie>>
<<Your Flame Field has shattered!>>
Tama activated the jetpack and flew upward.
Misha finished reloading her gun. She took a green gel and tossed it into her mouth, recovering her PF.
The zombies screamed as they jumped, trying to catch Misha's leg.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Bullets hit the jumping zombies, stopping them in mid-air.
One of the zombies climbed on top of its friends and flew, leaping toward Misha again.
*PU*
A tentacle from Misha's chest pierced the zombie's mouth.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Misha burst all remaining bullets onto the zombie on Tama's stick, dropping its HP to zero.
The third one went down!
At this moment, 34 zombies gathered below Misha. All of them attempted to mimic the earlier zombie to reach her.
Tama maneuvered the jetpack to fly toward an empty area with maximum power. Then, she landed Misha on the ground.
The 34 zombies chased after her.
Misha reloaded a new magazine and began spraying more bullets.
The moment her new magazine was emptied. The zombie horde could almost reach her.
Flame Field activated!
All 34 zombies were hit with AOE damages!
As soon as the flame field was triggered, the jetpack brought Misha to the sky again.
As if Misha knew what would be next, she tossed another green gel to her mouth, filling her stomach and recovering her PF.
Both Tama and Misha hung back in mid-air for another 10 seconds before they flew to the previous spot where the aggroed all the monsters.
They landed on the ground, and Misha pointed the rifle muzzle at the zombies.
*TATATATA*
.
.
.
Tama and Misha repeated the DOT Flame Field, shooting, and tentacle attack patterns until all 34 zombies went down.
Both of them panted as the grind was mentally taxing.
Though tiring, Misha was smiling.
The power-leveling rewards worth the effort.

"Alright! We did it, Hiromata-kun!"
The two have been playing for quite a while and they finally beat a really difficult stage.
"Great job, Kasumi-san. Even though most of the time you just run straight ahead to the zombies."
"I wasn't! Well, maybe I did but..."
"Haha, I'm kidding, I'm kidding."
Even though they did manage to defeat the enemies, it was mostly Seki's help but they laughed it off anyway.
'Mayby I can really get along with Hiromata-kun. He seems to be a very kind and gentle person. He's very sarcastic but knows his limits. I truly think we can get alon—"
Just as Eru was praising Seki in her head, a cutscene in the game came up but Seki instantly pressed the skip button.
"..."
"K-Kasumi-san. Why are glaring daggers at me?"
"Hiromata-kun. Why did you press the skip button? Please tell me you did that on accident. Please don't tell me that you skipped it because you don't care about the stor—"
"I don't really care about the story. Wanna play another stage?"
"Please get away from me."
"Oi, oi, don't just say it to my face like you really mean it."
Though Eru was being sarcastic on her comment, she truly felt frustrated that Seki skipped the cutscene.
"But why would you skip it?!"
"Eh? I just told you, Kasumi-san."
"You have to take the time to understand the story! The origins of the apocalypse! The grieving of the characters!"
"But we could've used that time to shoot some zombie brains."
"Ha?! Don't you feel curious on the lore of the game?"
"B-But... shooting zombie brains..."
Seki gazed at Eru's eyes with pleading puppy eyes.
'Why does it feel like I'm scolding a kid right now?'
Eru had the urge to pat Seki's head because of the face he was making but managed to hold it in. She simply regained her composure and sighed.
"S-Sorry, Kasumi-san."
"E-Eh? No! I wasn't angry or anything! I was just surprised by your pretty uncommon mindset."
Eru waved her hands left and right. Although Seki wasn't crying or anything, she could feel the genuine apologetic tone in his words.
"I've never really cared about the stories in games and such. I'm also not very fond with books but I'm completely fine when it comes to Animes and shows. Probably because watching those doesn't take much effort."
"I see... Hm..."
Eru held her chin as if she was in deep thought.
"Hiromata-kun, I've decided!"
"W-What is it, Kasumi-san?"
"Mark my words, I will make you appreciate the beauty of stories and tales!"
"Ehhh..."
Seki simply remarked in a dejected tone.
"I may have said that I wasn't angry a while ago, I'll admit that I was definitely frustrated. That said, I'll make you like them to the point of no return whether you like it or not!"
Watching Eru puff her chest as she proudly proclaimed this, Seki couldn't help but make a small chuckle.
"I see. I'll be counting on you then."
Seki exclaimed so with such a wholesome smile that Eru blushed just a tad bit.
"Considering that we're talking about games with stories, what do you play, Kasumi-san? JRPGs? Obviously not FPS games though."
"I don't know what to feel about that last comment. But JRPGs aren't really my scene. I've tried playing them a couple times but dropped them after a few minutes. The games that I'm crippling addicted to are visual novels."
"Ehhh... So you like those, huh. You don't really look like the kind of girl who would be into Eroges and lewd stuff."
Hearing the magic word [lewd], Eru's face instantly turned beet red.
"Oi, oi! That's a common misconception many people have! Visual novels aren't limited to eroges and such. It can also be dating simulators, or even great games with intriguing plots like Fake: Stay Day, Stine's Door, or even the world famous Okie-Dokie: Math Club!"
"K-Kasumi-san... I'm not familiar with those titles so you're basically speaking alien language to me."
Once again, Eru could simply sigh in disappointment. Noticing this, Seki tried to cheer her up.
"Maybe you could bring one of your visual novels here and we can play it."
Eru's face lit up as she heard this suggestion from Seki.
"Yeah... Let's do that. Then I'll that to my to do list! I'll make sure that you're addicted to the visual novels as well and one day you'll thank me for introducing you to an amazing medium!"
Watching such a sight, his face lit up and he started chuckling to himself.
"E-Eh? Why are you laughing? Did I say something weird? Do I have something in my face? What is it?"
"No, no. I'm just thinking that it was easy after all."
"Easy? What is?"
"I told you that I'll make you speak casually with me right? Your response was so vague back then that I thought it'll be impossible but not a week has passed and you're already so cheerful. Just thinking about it, I couldn't help but be delighted."
...
Eru's face blushed slightly but she managed to suppress it in no time as she fixed her composure.
"Pardon my extreme behavior. I would like to send you my deepest apologies."
"Oi, don't turn back on me now."

Lovers. Yes, a relationship yearned by many. A connection in which two people love, care, think, lean, and depend on each other. Indeed these are lovers. Unfortunately, this wasn't the case for us, since my girlfriend thinks too much.

This novel is also published on Wattpad under the same name

Since the day we almost killed each other on the rooftop, Rika and I clicked somehow. When Rika asked me a few days to later to hang out together afterschool, it did not feel like inviting to a 'date' at all. For some inexplicable reason, it felt like just a reach-out from a fellow survivor of some catastrophe, like another passenger from the same ship I was in that sank and killed all the others.
The first place we hit was an arcade in a mall. Rika turned up casually dressed in oversized t-shirts bearing some graffiti looking logo and baggy jeans, with dark navy-blue hooded jacket and white trainers. I was a bit taken back at first as she looked so different from her image in school, but she looked charming in its own way with this look too, especially as she just gave a slight show of her palm and greeted me with "Yo" when we first met.

We walked into the arcade more or less in silence and once I got in I asked her if she likes playing games.

"Well it kills time"
"Ok… but you don't really enjoy it?"
"Let's say it's a necessity. Time has to be killed, especially when you have so much of it"
"er..?"
"Nevermind. Let's go play something"
"Right. What kind of games do you want to play?"
"Killing games"
That made me chuckle for some reason. I came to realize that she has this dull sense of humour with such deadpan comments.
"I guess we could shoot some zombies?"
"Woo yeah. I like shooting things that just never die. Or they die but come back. Again and again"

Then we started to playing this Zombie shooter in co-op mode, and damn she was good. She was pretty much shooting everything before I could even aim, and I felt like I was only shooting things that were designed to be physically impossible to be handled by a single player. I did die a few times, and each time Rika asked me to put more coins in so I can continue with her, as she has not died even once. In the end, after furious trigger pulls and loads of coins, we cleared the game, and I was happy when Rika gave me a rare smile as we high-fived each other.

"So what do you want to do now?" I thought we have spent enough time in this arcade, enough to completely clear a game
"Let's watch some movies"
"Yeah let's see what they are showing today"
Then we took the escalator to the upstairs where there was a small cinema. Rika said she will go to the restroom for a bit and I can check the show times. When she came back she asked,
"So what have they got?"
"Well there's this rom-com that's really popular now – I heard it's pretty damn funny. And there's this action movie with lots of car racing – I like this one personally, and a sci-fi with some alien invasion – I think this one looks a bit meh, and a crime story about a serial killer"
"Cool. Let's watch the serial killer movie"
"What are you, an emo goth?!"
"Pfft, don't give me such a label. It's just to kill time"
"What's up with you and all this 'killing'"
"It's just a running joke I have"
"With whom?"
She paused for a very short but noticeable moment, and then replied
"Yeah.. with a friend. A longtime friend"
"Your friend must be weird"
"Yes he is"
"A boy?", it would be a lie if I said I didn't feel a tiny bit of sudden unjustifiable jealousy
"None of your business"

With that the conversation was over. I bought two tickets and a massive box of popcorns (on Rika's demand) and we entered the hall.

After two hours of intense gore, the movie was over. Although it was pretty disgusting at parts, I have to say it was pretty good and suspenseful throughout.

"So did you like the movie?", I asked her.
"Yeah it was alright"
"It was pretty intense eh?"
"Well a bit unrealistic though"
"You think so? Which part? You mean like how the detective just happened to figure out who the killer is by chance?"
"No. It's just that…", then Rika hesitated a bit
"Go on"
"You know when you slit the back of a neck like in that second murder, it does not bleed that way in real life", she kinda murmured this and looked away, as if.. she was embarrassed?
"You know some weird things. I don't even know whether that's true or just some 'joke'"
"Nevermind. Maybe we do something else now"
"Right. What do you want to do?"
"You have been keep asking me what I want to do. Why don't you think of something yourself?"
I gave it a thought.
"Let's go to a café. We've been out for the whole day today but have not really sat down"
"We just sat in the movies for two hours"
"er, I mean sit around and just talk, chill, you know"
"Is that fun?"
"Yes it kills time"
She gave a short unexpected chuckle before quickly composing herself
"Ok you pick a place then"

Rika is a girl that can't die, and her immortal boy Tobi is on killing spree. How will they rise above the centuries of love and hatred, or will they reach a conclusion that is worse than death?

I look at the portal in front of me and take a deep breath. Right now, I'm in front of a portal to the dungeon near my house. The location of the portal is behind an empty building seventy meters to the west of my house.
 
When I arrived in front of the dungeon location, I could see a portal appear out of thin air.
 
Anyway, I walked into the portal, and suddenly the world changed.
 
|Congratulations! You visit your first dungeon!|
|Dungeon is where the player can hunt some monsters, get loot and even get new skills.|
|While a dungeon looked like another world, it was not. You are currently inside a pocket dimension. Each dungeon is of a different size. Some of them are smaller, some of them bigger. Inside all dungeons, there is a Boss tower. You can see it even from far away.|
| You can only use each dungeon for a maximum of 48 hours. While inside the dungeon, the time outside will be stopped, so don't worry about getting late for work.|
|After you get out of the dungeon or your time is up, you need to wait for 24 hours before you can use the dungeon once again.|
|BEWARE! You will die in real life. You die in the dungeon.|
|Have Fun!|
 
After the notification disappears, I see a bleak world in front of me. The beautiful and colorful world I used to see changed into a grey world filled with destroyed buildings and vehicles. However, what makes me disturbed is the one that is roaming the land.
 
I can see their name, level, and HP bar.
 
|Feral Ghoul| |Level: 1| |HP: 400/400|
|Feral Ghoul is a former human but because of the radiation from the Nuclear Weapon. The radiation is strong enough to make them mad, and the mutation makes them carve for the flesh of the living. They are not zombies, but they have the same behavior.|
 
There is five Feral Ghoul not too far away from me. It Looks like they cannot see me, which is good. I think I cannot take them out all at once, even with my bow skills. The base attack of the arrow is 10 + 50% of my STR (4.5), meaning my basic attack will cause 14.5 damage. That is before I add the 2% of bonus damage from my passive skill.
 
If I use my Twin Shot, I will get 14.5 + 90% of my DEX (8.1) per arrow. 45.2 damage cannot kill the Ghoul in a single shoot. Lucky for me, my MP is big enough for me to spam my Twin Shot. I can use my skill every three seconds. Meaning that I can kill the zombie after I use the skill nine times.
 
I can kill two of them no problem but five of them? I cannot do that. Meaning that I need to search for other prey for me to hunt. I walk away slowly from where I'm from. I walk to the west.
 
After walking for about twenty seconds, I encountered my prey. It was an alone ghoul roaming the street aimlessly. I take out my bow from the inventory, equip the quiver filled with arrows and aim my bow at the lone ghoul.
 
A second later, I fire the arrow toward the Ghoul and see it right in the head.
 
|Critical Hit!| 29
 
It looks like there is a critical hit. Before the Ghoul could see me, I activated my skill.
 
"Twin Shot!" 119.4
 
After I invoke the name of my skill, my body moves on its own and shoots two arrows in less than a second. Both arrows hit their target. The first one hit the head while the second one hit the neck of the Ghoul.
 
The Ghoul shrieks in pain before it begins to charge toward me. I fire another two arrows that hit the Ghoul head before I begin to activate my skills. Another two arrows hit the Ghoul's head. Seeing the HP bar, I know that the Ghoul is almost dead. I fire another arrow toward the Ghoul that hits its head once again before I begin to run away from the incoming Ghoul.
 
Each time I can use my skill, I activate it and shoot the Ghoul.
 
It took another few seconds before I could kill the Ghoul with my bow and arrow.
 
|You killed a Feral Ghoul|
|You get 1 XP, 1 Class XP, and 10 ST|
 
One XP?!? Seriously?!? I need a few seconds of running and shooting to kill that one Ghoul, and I only get one XP?!? Urgh. At least I get a Shop Token. For now, I need to search for another lone Ghoul. I need a lot of them to level up.

I look at my status while eating an Egg and Tuna sandwich inside one of the buildings. Right now, I'm inside one of the still-standing buildings taking a break after a few hours of non-stop fighting.
 
Twenty-two Ghoul in a few hours. That sounds small, but to me, it was a tough fight. Continuous running around the place while shooting the enemy behind you is a hard task. Even after I decide to pick a lone Ghoul, there is one or two Ghoul around the corner ready to ambush me.
 
I have already experienced two ambushes. If not for the potions I bought, I should be dead by now. So yeah, between searching for lone Ghoul and doing a hit and run tactic, twenty-two Ghoul is a high number for me.
 
Anyway, I've decided to take a break inside one of the buildings that are still intact right now. Well, mostly intact as there are many holes on the wall, and only half the roof is still intact.
 
I eat the last sandwich and get up from the rock where I sit and pick up my bow once again.
 
From my hunt, I know when the Ghoul spawns. They spawn every one hour, and their spawn location is the exact place where I find them. I don't know if there will be a roaming monster, but I will exploit the Ghoul that spawns here for now.
 
I aim my bow at the location where the nearest zombie will spawn and aim where its head should be located. When the Ghoul appeared out of thin air, I released my arrow, and it hit the Ghoul right in the head. After firing the first arrow, I activate my Twin Shot skill.
 
I continue to shoot the Ghoul that is running toward my location. My current attack range is thirty meters. With the current speed of the Ghoul, it will reach me in five seconds. However, by shooting one of its legs…
 
*SPLURT*
 
I can make them go slower, and if I shoot the other leg…
 
*SPLURT*
 
I get myself a slow-moving prey.
 
Unlike in games where you need a special effect weapon or item to immobilize your enemy, I don't need to do that here. While my reality is based on games, it also has a real-world influence. Like you know, you will get slow if someone shoots your legs.
 
I ignore the notification in the corner of my vision. Oh, that is another thing I'm really grateful for. As long as I'm in combat mode, the notification will not appear in front of me, but rather it will appear in the corner of my vision.
 
Anyway, I walk toward the other Ghoul location with my bow in hand. I go hunting once again.

Follow the life of Himura Tanaka, formerly known as Michael Lindor, in the peaceful world.

This is your typical Isekai Novel. A self-indulgent novel. You have been warned.

Adrian was just a normal senior student with a dream to become a great architect, creating blueprints of magnificent buildings and bringing his own style into the world, but everything had changed just more than a week ago.
Before everything had happened, he was having lunch in the cafeteria and simultaneously planning his coursework, but suddenly, an odd mechanical voice resounded in his mind. Having no time to think over the message it had relayed to him, he was lying unconscious with one cheek on his meal.
When he woke up, he had a strange urge to say status for no apparent reason and status window as in games had appeared before his eyes. It was quite simple and was even far behind modern games in its complexity.
However, a short time later, someone had screamed, drawing attention of everyone in the dining hall. Then, he saw it!
One student was gnashing its teeth into the flesh of another one, tearing small chunks of meat. A student, who was being eaten, was thrashing and screaming in agony, yet everyone was looking at them blankly.
Someone tried to separate them, but he was also attacked by it. Everyone was screaming and panicking at the sight of murder, fast ones were able to escape from the cafeteria, yet most of them were trapped in the dining hall since a monster was close to an exit and had already stood up from another cold corpse.
A minute later, two dead bodies rose from the ground and were also growling threateningly at others, joining the first one. So one had turned to three and three had turned to dozens.
Having no way out, Adrian made the quickest decision he was able to do; he went further into the cafeteria, where staff members should have been operating. Then, he locked himself in the toilet, opened his Beginner's Survival Pack and with a great effort, reached the room of administrator who had also survived and locked herself in her room.
"...Remember, just get back if there are too much of zombies in the corridor! The storage room is right after you pass next to a dining hall. Good luck!"
Sara or administrator of the cafeteria was giving instructions to Adrian. She had light brown hair and a gentle face with a black skirt and a white shirt on her, giving her a touch of an office woman. As for Adrian, even though he was in his early twenties, he looked slightly more mature than his age with his long black hair gathered by a hairband.
Since Sara's personal room was close to the kitchen, Adrian often scouted their surroundings and if everything seemed safe to him, he tried to slip to the kitchen to search for any leftovers or anything edible in there.
However, after a week, they were running low in food, so he was forced to go further towards a storage room.
Gripping a Rusty Sword, the same as Dave's previous weapon, which he got from his first zombie he had killed, Adrian slowly left the room and looked for any zombies in the corridor.
'It seems safe out there!'
Slowly moving towards his destination, he kept wondering why he didn't meet any zombies on his way, yet when he was passing next to a dining hall, he understood where all zombies had gone.
'Are these guys insane!'
...
As Dave entered the dining hall, he was welcomed by a swarm of zombies. He didn't hope that they wouldn't notice him, so he swiftly barged at them and started killing ordinary zombies rushing towards him.
He didn't dare to activate Reinforced Breathing due to his last experience, but he did enhance his body with mana since it didn't have any grave consequences, causing only slight weakness in the body after being used. Serving as a tank for others, he tried to kill every zombie, so they didn't slip towards his back.
At the same time as he was handling ordinary zombies, Rebecca had summoned her elemental spirit, Star, as Dave had told her to do before they entered a cafeteria.
Since it was just a floating orb of light, zombies had no interest in it, allowing Rebecca to search for evolved zombies among ordinary ones. Through telepathic connection, she saw everything with a Star and easily spotted two Hunters and a Ghoul.
Ghoul was slightly larger than other zombies around it, but not too much as a Giant. It had a big stature and broad shoulder with clearly outlined muscles all over its body. It was half as big as a Giant and had similar claws as a Hunter.
According to the plan, Rebecca was tasked with killing a Hunter, so he commanded her Star to kill it. Since it was just a mass of light energy, her elemental spirit was fast enough to follow after a Hunter, as it condensed light energy into a blade and slashed with it at zombie's head, successfully killing it.
With slightly fewer zombies attacking them, Dave allowed others to join him, as it was four against a dozen of zombies now. As they were dealing with ordinary zombies, Hunter sprinted out of the group as it tried to attack Rebecca.
Having waited for this moment, Adam stopped Hunter in its place with Telekinesis, simultaneously retreating backwards as Dave had covered his place. He sent his Broken Spear flying towards the Hunter and pierced its head with his weapon.
Having dealt with Hunters, Dave decided not to wait for Ghoul and rush towards it, activating Reinforced Breathing and lifting his Dull Axe. Most of the zombies had already been killed by their group, leaving only several of them, so he was confident that the trio behind him would be able to handle them.
After several moments, he was already sending attacks towards a Ghoul as he tried to dodge its sharp claws. Since he would be infected if he was injured by a zombie, it made killing a Ghoul even more difficult.
Blocking another attack from a Ghoul with Mana Barrier, he slashed vertically with his axe, forcing it to dodge to the left, and at the same time, he lifted his left hand which had a ring on it. It flickered with light, shooting Mana Bullet to the head of a Ghoul.
He had time to try it in 3 days they were hunting, so he was already adept at using it and magic ring also wasn't too complicated in usage.
Since Mana Bullet was already faster than a Ghoul's speed, it was unable to dodge a bullet from a close distance, as Mana Bullet accurately reached its head.

'It was slightly stronger than I had expected, similar to a mutated dog, maybe, because it had eaten and infected lots of zombies.'
Trying to catch his breath, he made a note of it in his mind. Provided with more biomass, zombies would grow even stronger, even ordinary zombies could become several times stronger if they ate more humans. Enhancer and Awakeners also gave a great boost to there evolution.
Low rank 1 evolved zombies also fell in that category. Some low rank 1 Giants might be stronger than other ones, but since one or two points in strength didn't make much of a difference and were negligible in a broader sense, ranks didn't break down even further. Naturally, stronger zombies gave more experience points.
Having used Mana Sensing all along, he already detected a person standing on the other side of the doors, so he decided to warn him.
"Hey, man there, better look behind you instead of spying at us!"
Struck speechless by the strength of their group, Adrian looked at them in awe since zombies, terrorizing him over the week and trapping him inside a cafeteria, were easily dealt by Dave's side.
When he heard Dave, the first thought he had was that maybe Dave was saying it to someone else, but as he glanced behind him just to be sure, he saw a zombie sprinting towards him. Perhaps, it was locked somewhere and only now was able to leave from there.
Panicking slightly, he held Rusty Sword before him and waited for a zombie to approach him, as he slashed with his sword at him, piercing its head. Having killed it, he still wondered how Dave was able to detect him.
Warning the guy in the corridor, Dave decided to collect spoils of the battle and open a White Chest which had dropped from a Ghoul after he killed it.
Opening it, he was greatly disappointed since he didn't obtain anything new as a Restoration Bread had appeared in the place of a chest.
'Allocate 1 point to strength and 1 point to agility.'

[The world have reached the end of the 1st Cataclysm: Survival]

A heavenly voice sounded in the minds of people and led to the destruction of modern civilization. The monsters had appeared all over the world, leading people to the new era.
The era where only the strong will survive!
The era where weak people are trampled on!
Dave had lived in such a world for five years, finally dying in a demonic horde. As he fell down from the skies, the same voice sounded in his mind.
