10 years ago, Carl coincidentally joined an online group.
The name of the group was 'Play Cards'.
There were 54 members in it.
None of them knew each other.
The group was randomly created.
None of the 54 members knew who created the group.
It was just created and even if one left the group. They would still get messages regarding the group through different platforms.
It was useless to even change numbers. The messages would still appear!
Carl had personally witnessed this.
So, after joining the group each person had an Alias.
Like Carl's was 'Fourth of the Club' while this level 19 man's was 'Third of the Heart'.
Carl was still confused about everything.
This scrawny old man had suddenly appeared in front of him at morning and claimed to be one of his online friends.
Carl only believed him after he had enough proofs.
He was surprised that someone he had never even seen had found him after the World was destroyed!
" So... Who else are there? " Carl asked.
The ' Third of the Heart' laughed, " The 'Queen of the Spades' is actually from Albigion. She is the one leading every fucker around to find the members here. "
" The 'Queen of the Spades' is actually a women? " Carl was shocked. He remembered this person to always be silent. She hardly texted in the group and whenever she did, it was one or two lines.
" Damn your mother. Don't interrupt me! Also not only is she a fucking women. But, she is the sexiest one I have ever seen! She is the head of the Wales Family! " The 'Third of the Heart' licked his lips pervertedly.
" Georgia Wales? " Carl asked exasperated.
" Fuck you asshole. Don't say names. She is the 'Queen of Spades', " He said, not divulging his own name.
" Okay. Okay... " Carl was still shocked.
He knew what Wales family was. Even though it wasn't the strongest family. It wasn't that far away.
Once upon a time, Wales family used to stand just slightly behind the Royal Family.
But, as the Royal Family went behind the scenes, their power also slowly decreased and they were overshadowed by many newer families.
That was until Georgia killed all her siblings and took the position of the head and brought the family from bottom to its current state.
She was very popular!
Not because of her position, but because of her beauty!
" So, there is also that nigga called 'First of the Club' and... "
As per 'Third of Heart' Carl was the 4th member in the Albigion country.
But, overall 39 members had grouped up all over the World.
It was surprising to know so many of fhem were alive.
" So... Who is the leader of our group? " Carl asked.
" Are you nuts? Don't you fucking have brains? There is no leader. There never was. But, the strongest is... Joker. "
* * * *
Such was the conversation, Carl had with this Scrawny old man, before the plan to kill Alex was formulated.
Carl persuaded many people to join in for his cause, under the pretext of his friend's strength.
Many men were already dissatisfied with Alex's blatant lustful behavior, so they readily joined in to overthrow Alex.
But, ' Third of the Hearts' went out of his way and destroyed the outermost barricade surrounding the camp!
The noise attracted Mackman and others.
But, in front of Level 19 human, they were even weaker than chicken and were directly killed.
Carl had no attachment to this camp, still he felt slightly guilty for harming the camp.
Still he suppressed that emotion, as his hatred for this place and Alex was lot more concentrated.
Now, their elevator reached the top floor where Alex and his harem enjoyed their lavish life.
Everyone around felt jealous just by looking at the condition of this floor. They were never allowed to even come here.
Passing by the lobby they were right in front of the Penthouse door.
" Get ready. They should already know that we have attacked. Don't shoot wantonly as my wife and daughter might be inside, " Carl said while gritting his teeth.
He could already imagine the worst happening to his family.
But, still he wanted to save them.
" Don't worry, those shitheads won't even be able to move before my agility! " The scrawny old man snorted as he punched the door with everything he had.
Not so surprisingly the wooden door was easily broken through.
Carl and everyone rushed in vigilantly.
They didn't need to look much before they saw Alex sitting leisurely on the large sofa in living room.
But, Carl's eyes we're fixed on the two feminine figures kneeling before Alex.
Without a piece of fabric on their bodies, they devoutly licked Alex's each feet, as if he was some divine entity.
There were two chokers around their necks, with ropes attached to them.
Alex held onto the ropes as he looked at the entourage which had descended upon his abode.
" Welcome Uncle Carl. How have you been? " He smiled as if he was just casually welcoming someone.
Completely relaxed.
But, Carl didn't move.
He felt his heart breaking down.
He had already imgained many humiliating scenarios, but he had never imagined that his wife and daughter would willingly serve Alex like this.
" R-Robin... R-Rowena... "
Robin who was wearing charming fox ears and the seductive fox tail, which was actually an anal plug sex toy, raised her head towards Carl while still sucking on Alex's toe.
" ... Why didn't you come sooner dad? Now, I have already decided to become Alex's women, I love him~" Robin said with a smile.
Rowena also smirked with flushed expression, " Get lost Carl. We have no feelings for you anymore. Alex is much stronger than you... Both, in bed and real power you fail miserably. "
She was wearing similar accessories as her daughter, but she had cute Cat ears and Cat tail instead of Robin's fox ears and tail.
Rowena and Robin's words gave Carl another round of shock. His knees almost buckled as his eyes turned bloodshot.
He glared at Alex hatefully and raised his gun, ready to shoot Alex in head.
But, before he could pull the trigger, Alex pulled Robin in front of him.
Robin made a fearful expression, as she shouted while hugging Alex protectively, " Dad! Don't kill me! "
Carl couldn't pull the trigger.
" What happened Uncle? You don't want to kill me? Let me tell you the truth. I was the one who killed Riley and raped your wife and daughter. But, it only took the fucking of few hours before they completely became my bitches, " Alex smirked shamelessly.
He pulled Robin's fox tail, making her moan in pain and excitement.
Just now she was very afraid of Alex getting shot, so she had instinctively hugged him. But, feeling his hand on her ass she blushed.
The Scrawny old man looked on with black lines on his face.
He had thought that Carl's wife and daughter were forcefully stolen.
But, it was clear that they were fucking Alex willingly.
Still, as the member of same group, he couldn't let his companion get humiliated.
" You little dickshit. Let those women go and I'll let you die with a full corpse. Now that I'm here. Don't imagine living a long life, " The man stretched his hands.
Other men also snapped out of their shock, as they pointed their guns at Alex.
They had no qualms with shooting Robin or Rowena.
They pulled the triggers at Alex without any care.
But, just then a large steel wall appeared in front of them out of nowhere.
All the bullets pierced the stell wall, but not a single one could pass through.
" Stop shooting fucking idiots! " Third of the Hearts yelled.
He didn't know how this wall appeared, but as he saw it, he felt a sense of dread.
While talking with the Queen of Spades, Georgia Wales. He had heard her saying about some people who had awakened special abilities!
These people were super rare and were being sought after by the Royal Family and Government.
His face turned red with frustration, as he kicked the steel wall.
The dent appeared in the wall as it was thrown back.
But, now behind the wall no one was there.
Scrawny old man heard something, as he turned around.
The door which he had broken was being closed from both sides with thick metal doors.
" Fuck ! " Third of the Hearts puched the door, but could only make some superficial dents.
" Look around the shelter! " He ordered.
All people ran around and returned in few minutes.
" S-Sir, there is no one here. All windows are closed with steel walls. We can't even look outside, " A man said in panic, they were not in some penthouse. But, a freaking prison.
" Fuck you! No one told me this place was a fucking fortified shelter! " The Scrawny old man cursed.
He attacked the walls on the side, finding that they were also made of steel walls.
But, just then he noticed something.
" Can you smell something? " He asked seriously.
The men around sniffed loudly.
Their eyes slowly widened, as they smelled something weird.
" I-Is it poison?? "
" Damn it! " Third of the Hearts now ignored these people and started punching the door.
" Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! "
As time passed, he could feel his eyelids getting heavy.
But, he held on.
The men at Level 0, directly fell down on the ground and fainted.
" T-Third of the Hearts... What should we do? " Carl also felt dizzy.
" Ask your mother! Don't ask me you son of a bitch! " Third of the Hearts was even more panicked than Carl was.
He was a level 19 human. The member of the 'Play Cards'.
His future was limitless.
Wealth, comfort, women he would have everything in the future.
He didn't want to die here.
He kept punching the door again and again, the visible dent was the only thing that kept him going.
Other men who saw this, joined in to break the door.
They used all of their bullets and kept shooting at the door.
But, door was very thick. Even with all bullets they could only make deeper dent.
Later they had to just like Third of the Hearts join in to punch it.
As time passed, more and more people fainted.
They didn't know, whatever affecting them was whether sleeping gas or a lethal poison? But, they were helpless.
In the fear of death, Carl even forgot about his family.
If he could go back in time, he would not even come here if he was given hundred times more guts.
He also fell unconscious.
Only the Scrawny old man kept going.
After unknown period of time. His eyes became bloodshot as his knuckles bled heavily.
But, the door was broken through somehow.
He panted heavily. As he got out of the Penthouse.
The dizziness was still covering him, trying to take him away in the world of dreams and later to the hell.
He ignored everyone else, but picked up Carl on his shoulders.
It was his mission to bring him back.
But, as soon as he came out. He saw Alex leaning against the wall with a smirk upon his face.
" Oh. You did not faint. Level 19 really is no joke, " He said with surprised expression.
Third of the Hearts felt like crying. He was completely played by Alex.
" Y-You... " Third of the Hearts didn't fear Alex.
He feared, the two figures standing around him with the nuzzles of their guns pointing at him.
Even as Level 19 , he wasn't immune to guns, and with his current condition he couldn't even run away.
" Kate, cut off his arms and legs, " Alex ordered.
The women in black outfit walked towards the Scrawny old man with emotionless face.
" No... Please... I'm the member of 'Play Cards'. Don't kill me! " Third of the Hearts begged.
" Wait, " Alex stopped Kate, " 'Play Cards'? "
The Scrawny old man felt like he might have a chance to live.
" Yes! I'm 'Third of the Hearts'. Our organization is an international group. Our local leader is 'Queen of the Spades', Georgia Wales... "
In fear of loosing his life, Scrawny old man blabbered everything out.
As time passed, he also felt like strength returning to his body slowly.
By the time he was done speaking, he was very excited, " Don't make an enemy of us, they will kill you all. But, if you let me go, I'll speak a word or two for you. Your future will be safe and limitless. "
" Seems, the effect of poison is loosening. You're getting some guts back huh? " Alex smiled.
He had gotten all information he could, from this old man.
Whether it was truth or lie? Alex didn't care.
" Kate do your work, " Alex ordered.
" You! Are you not afraid of dying? The big army willl come if I'm dead! "
" Let them come. Let them also know, that I'm not someone to be offended, " Alex smirked.
Kate with Alex's orders approached the man with sharp long knife.
But, the man wasn't to die without fight.
'Third of the Hearts' at the last moment took out the gun from his leg pocket, but even before he could point it, Kate kicked it away.
But, the gun was just a distraction.
Kate was stunned, as the man used his other hand to pierce her leg with a knife.
She felt a jolting pain in her lower leg, as she almost fell down.
But...
" I'll throw you away. If you can't even beat a defeated dog, " Kate heard Alex's cold voice.
She forcefully stood straight, even with striking pain in her leg.
With hateful glare, she kicked away the knife.
Third of the Hearts tried to stand up with difficulty, but he was next kicked on his face.
He was thrown few metres away and stood up with difficulty.
At the same time, Kate removed the knife logged into her leg and fought with the man.
Third of the Hearts also fought back for his life.
But, even though level gap was there, he hardly retained any strength.
Still, for some time he fought Kate on equal groundd.
As fight escalated, the adrenaline in his body shook away his drowsiness. His fighting strength increased, making more trouble for Kate.
But, it was already very late.
His whole body was riddled with bloody injuries.
He was unarmed, while Kate had weapon.
After few more moments, Third of The Hearts fell to the ground.
Alex looked at this from a little far, with his arms crossed.
He saw Kate cutting off the man's limbs mercilessly. Not even caring about the blood and gory scene.
After the work was done. She stood up and stumbled towards Alex while dragging her bloodied leg.
But, there was no pain on her face, as if she couldn't feel it.
There was only a relieved smile.
" D-Did I do good? " She asked with an expectant smile, which looked very miserable.
Just as level 11, it was very difficult for her to defeat a Level 19 human.
There were injuries all over her body, many of her bones without a doubt had fractured.
Only the threat of being abandoned by Alex had kept her going.
Alex didn't disappoint her, he smiled, " You're the best Kate. "
Just one line... And all the pain Kate was feeling, as if melted away.
She fell before Alex on her knees, which could hardly sustain her weight.
Alex caressed her face gently, and kissed her lips, " I'll give you a gift. "
He walked towards the almost dead Third of the Hearts.
The man looked up with difficulty, he knew there was no chance of him living.
With his limbs cut, he knew he was going to become an exp tank.
But, still he begged, " Please... Spare me... "
Alex smirked, " If you can travel back in time. Don't bother antagonizing me. "
After that he took out a small vial, filled with black colored stuff.
Third of the Heart's eyes were filled with fear as he looked at the vial.
It was the zombie blood!
Alex didn't waste more time, he removed the cap and forced the bottle down the man's throat.
He then moved near Madison.
Madison stayed alert to care for any unexpected situations.
This was the first time, that they were seeing the transformation of Level 19 human.
What if a Stage 3 zombie popped out?
Alex was not ready to risk his life, even if he had three of them.
In front of them, The Scrawny old man started convulsing very normally.
His bloodshot eyes turned white, as he slowly stopped moving after few dozens of seconds.
Grrrrr!
A loud shrill and inhumane scream came out from the now zombie's mouth, as it looked at Alex and two girls.
Even without limbs, it started crawling towards everyone with very fast speed.
" He has turned. Madison hold it down and Kate kill him, " Alex said.
Madison didn't disobey, as she held the zombie down.
Alex gently helped Kate to stand up, his strength didn't do much. But, his small actions touched Kate's heartstrings.
She made sure not to trouble Alex too much, and stood up on her own somehow.
She stumbled towards the zombie and hacked it to death.
She directly levelled up twice!
Kate was very surprised, as before even when she killed Stage 2 zombie, she wouldn't get this much exp.
" It's related to my skill, " Alex said. But, he could also guess that this Level 19 zombie gave more exp than normal.
Kate gently looked at Alex and nodded with dizziness.
Just then Alex got a call from Anna.
Alex talked for a moment and then cut off the call.
" Many Stage 2 zombies have entered the camp. Other girls aren't enough. Madison, go down to help them, " Alex ordered.
" But, what about you? " Madison asked worriedly.
" It's okay. Robin, Rowena and Kate are here. Just make sure that other girls do not die, " Alex said.
Madison hesitated for a moment, but in the end left.
Rowena and Robin quickly approached Alex.
They were hidden to care for any surprising situation.
" Kill them all, " Alex threw some more vials of dark black blood. His indications clear.
Rowena and Robin hesitated for a moment as they looked at unconscious Carl, but then nodded, " Okay... "
Alex didn't looked back, as he walked towards his personal room, " Kate come here. "
He needed to heal Kate...
Meanwhile, all zombies in the camp were killed with Madison's intervention.
Many people had died, including the acting leader Mackman.
Taking the situation into consideration, Anna decisively took the lead and in one night stabilized the situation.
Except for the apartment building, all the area around became infested with zombies.
As for Alex, nothing much changed.
He didn't care about this camp, and was about to leave soon.
But, there was a very pleasant surprise that he got in last night.
The three question marks before 'Stage Promotion Token ' disappeared.
In their place, appeared few numbers.
(01/20)....
