"I was never told about this," I said, looking at Michael through the window.\The beautiful engineering memories I had experienced earlier were now slowly changing their form in my mind. It wasn't Susan's hand that reached up and grabbed my neck, it was Michael's. He was trying to strangle me and make me out of breath.What a crazy psychopath!I stared at Elena with unbearable irritation. I felt so betrayed. "You said I was your valued partner!""You are and always will be.""So? Who's that?" I exclaimed, pointing at Michael.Elena looked over, sighed, and nodded. "We apologise for the inconvenience and misunderstanding that occurred between the two of you. However, for the record, from the beginning, we never said that the only partner we had was you."That's a valid point, but that's not what I meant. "I thought we were co-operating and mutually beneficial here.""That's right. You give us information, and we give you money. Nothing less, nothing more," Elena said, this time more

Women are unpredictable, but Susan seems to be the most complicated. Just now she was talking nonsense about 'killing someone', and now she was on her third glass of alcohol and starting to attract people's attention.Apparently, the bar was organising a special drinking challenge where those who managed to down the fastest ten glasses would get a free purchase at the next meeting.It was a ridiculous challenge. Besides the fact that we were underage, alcohol was one of the things I cursed and avoided.I don't know. I don't remember the exact reason. What is certain is that it was related to something dirty and I hated it.Nevertheless, Ssan was the first to volunteer, and was now standing in the centre of a crowd of people cheering and encouraging her enthusiastically."Well, Miss, this is the fourth glass. You still got it?" the bartender exclaimed, breaking up the noise.Susan just smiled. "You've got to be kidding. Don't underestimate me like this, pour all the glasses, I'll finis

"It is likely that a monster nest will appear." "No." Wait. "What?" "You know, right, you're not in a position to refuse anything here, Class Rep." "Wait, wait." I should hope that what happened just now was misunderstood, not the ambiguous part just now, but the nonsensical sentence at the beginning. However, lately, hoping too much scared me even more, because almost everything happened the other way round. "Monsters?" I asked. Hudson nodded as if it was no big deal to consider. "What? Wait, you've never considered it? Did the novel tell you about all this, no, didn't the System tell you?" What the hell was that rhetorical question? "Of course not," I said indignantly. This must all be a joke. However, even Hudson didn't crack a smile and there was no sign of laughter. "Then we must hurry," Hudson said as he stood up. "Those horrible crea

"I still don't understand. If these zombies are part of the extra stage, doesn't that mean they'll always be there no matter where I go?" "Exactly." I looked at the cafeteria filled with those cursed creatures with a look. In almost every corner, along with the people queuing and eating, they wandered to and fro. With the same appearance as yesterday-ragged clothes, eyes with only the whites left. There are even more now. I think there are 20, or more. With an existence unnoticed other than by me, it was difficult to distinguish and confirm their number. "So, what's your plan?" I asked, which I immediately regretted. "I'm glad you asked. I have this Item that can decompose an entire material organism, living or dead, when it explodes. That would be an effective attack." "And we'd be mass murderers, didn't you consider that?" 

There was a dragging movement from the right side. Another zombie lunged here again. It took two moves for the power to activate. I was better prepared this time. My feet were pointed forwards. That's why when the zombie was about to lunge at me with a super lightning move, that speed backfired and led to its 'death'. Three down. Two more to go. However these two...  are quite unique. They have almost the same features. If they were human, they would probably be female. Waist-length hair with bangs covering the forehead (yes, similar to ghosts in Asian horror films), long legs, and full breasts.  It's certainly not what I imagined, is it? One of them came forward. One movement. But, the others follow. My focus was divided and I guess that's what they were after. By then I had lost count,
