'How?' 'How did I lose to a kid?' a voice spoke in the dark. 'I am experienced in combat, I easily surpass him in height and bodybuilding, so why did I still lose.' A faint glow of light sparked in the dark. 'How am I supposed to prove that I am capable of leading after this?' The light sparked again in the dark. 'No, I refuse to give up.' the voice continued. 'I can't let it end here.' After the light glowed faintly for a while, it suddenly became bright before completely outshining the darkness. "I refuse to be led by a brat!!" the voice screamed out in rage and then exploded in a burst of flames. The explosion pushed back those around the man as his body got covered in red-hot flames. "What?!!" Jared asked with surprise on his face. Everyone became bewildered as they saw what occurred in front of their eyes. A living person exploded in flames and yet, was still standing. "Impossible," "There's no way," Several voices were heard from the crowd as they watch the man

[Greetings dear readers, apologies for the delay in daily update. I'm currently trying to fight the severe writer's block I'm having, along side school activities. Your support and motivation will go a long way.]As the wind blew by from one end of the street to another, Ash and Jared stood close to the buildings by the side of the street."Greetings, Ash," a ladylike voice echoed into the wind as it swept past them, carrying dust particles into the air."You look well, Sarah," Ash greeted the lady who suddenly appeared in front of them."I try my best," she said and shortly after, bowed her head as a sign of respect.He observed her for a bit before calling Jared."Following this path down to some miles away from here, you should spot at least ten grade one and above zombies, bring back as many cores as you can find after killing them," Ash pointed in a direction as he explained to him."What are you gonna be doing?" Jared asked."I will be gathering further information from this lad

Diva sat on the black railings that surrounded the top of the building they use as base as she gazed into the setting sun. Rika, Gareth, and David all rested their arms and elbows on it alongside her while Sinon stood on the small ledge after it.They talked about their earlier training and how they plan to improve their skills."How about we all talk about our skills and area we are all good at," Gareth suggested."Why?" Diva asked."Yeah, what for?" Sinon added."Don't get me wrong, we are a team already and I think it's safe to say that we are a family as well," "But I think, knowing each other's strengths and weakness is a way to strengthen ourselves and have each other's back during battle," "He's making sense," Sinon cut in."Why won't it? It's not about knowing your weakness and using it against you. I think there's a reason Ash chose us each," Gareth continued. "I'd like to find out what those reasons are,""Alright then, I'm in," Rika quickly supported the notion."It migh

The milk-colored orb held up in the hand of Ash stood underneath the lighting of the room as it displayed in front of everyone. "The core," Ash voiced out audibly to make sure everyone heard. "Primarily gotten from the chest of a stage-two and above zombie," "To everyone normal person out there, it means nothing right now, but soon it will be highly searched for," "How do you know this?" Diva asked as she suddenly interrupted him. "From movies, games, and books," he replied and tried to continue when he was interrupted again. "How do you know it's true?" Diva questioned again. "That's what the movies, games, and books all say," he answered again, this time getting pissed. "Yeah, but those are fiction and make-believe. There's no proof they will work like that," "Can you let me demonstrate it for y'all to see if fiction can't be real? Isn't zombie apocalypse also fictional?" He then asked her. "Yes, it is but-" "Why has our world become one?" He cut her shut with another ques

The noise of feet pounding in the shallow pool of water on the empty street could be heard as several people hurried around the bend in the road. The sky had long gone dark, and what reflected on their path was the lighting from various broken-down buildings around. "Hurry, we have to lose them," a girl running in front of them voiced out. She wore black trousers and a white sleeveless top that held her chest region firmly from easily bouncing around. Her red scarf flowed behind her as she led the group to safety. "How much longer?" The boy beside her, dressed in blue jean trousers and a black turtleneck top breathed out in exhaustion. He was carrying a black bag pack behind him to which he attached several wooden bats to it for protection. "Not much," she answered. "Once we pass this street, we will completely lose them," They all increased their speed one after the other in their various clothing as they continued running from whatever seemed to be chasing them. "Get ready,"
