-Did you hear?
-What? That troublesome message? Of course I did.
-What are we going to do?
-What do you want us to do? Look for zombies somewhere among the over 7 billion people in the world?
That casual conversation wasn't just any conversation. It was the conversation between two of the most important people in the whole pentagon.
One was the Secretary of Defense.
The other who clearly lashed at his superior was the one in charge of the ongoing investigation of the supernatural cases.
They had known each other for a long time, and their relationship was closer to that of friends than colleagues.
I had a bit of trouble writing this chapter. I wrote it after the chapter coming next, and I felt kind of a writer's block for the most part. I know where and how I want to go, but the path is a bit complicated to figure out. My utter lack of sleep and my cold, as well as my addiction to anime not being fulfilled are not helping, for the record.

Today's choice yet again left me little leeway to choose, and I ended up picking the less catastrophic catastrophe.So after setting fire to the Amazon rainforest and my sister seemingly stopping it before it happened, I was lost in my thoughts.If we are able to communicate a bit, neither my sister nor I have any telepathic link, so it takes a lot of trouble and energy to communicate anything.The need for a complete form of communication only we both can understand starts to be felt. It needs to be unnoticeable, be able to pack a good deal of information, and be effortless.And we also need to be both able to learn it without anyone around doing so.To learn it, first, we need to use a temporary method of communication we c

-I'm home! As he entered his house, David felt all the stress of the day leave his shoulders. He heard the hasty footsteps of his younger son, who ran down the stairs to welcome him back. His older son was way past that age, and in fact, his younger son was supposed to as well, but he didn't really mind it, as that warm welcome truly brightened his evenings. -Welcome back. Jane, his wife, said distractedly, as she was focused on another task. She still turned her head around ever so slightly, and saw James, just aside David. -Oh, hi James. James was David's old-time friend since high school, and they just happened to have become

Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (18) - Warp Drive
When talking about such an elusive concept as a Warp Drive, there were multiple areas of expertise that needed to reach a certain level to develop one.Of course, science fiction, which was originally inspired by science, had now long turned around and influenced several generations of scientists and physicists. And so, a lot of people already worked on it. While saying it was your main domain of research would attract scornful glares, and some did attract such glares since 1994, but working on a few papers several times in your career wasn't a problem.In fact, the implications of warp drives on the current model of quantum physics made it a pretty interesting research subject for various specialties.And this was why, when in early 2021, a paper proposed a theoretical model for warp drive, it attracted a deep inte
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (19) - Monster
If something in this world deserved to be called a monster, the gigantic pile of flesh currently going through Sydney was definitely the one. After all, it wasn't figuratively, but literally going through Sydney. Sydney wasn't the capital of Australia, but it was definitely its biggest city by population. A position that it would definitely lose to Melbourne after the current disaster striking it is finished. If it is ever finished, and if there is any way to compile the body count. Meanwhile, the prime offender was absorbing people at an extremely fast rate, as it was storming through the city. It was rolling through the city. Yes, rolling. Whatever it was, the collective entity quickly understood that rather than focusing on
Give me a word I'll make a world Some news
Over the past 4 days, today included, which is when I usually write this novel in the week, I've not written anything. I've been a bit out of it lately, and while I've had reason to attribute it to fatigue up to now, as I was genuinely constantly tired, I've had time to sleep more since then, and I'm still not better. Overall, I feel a lack of inspiration, and a lack of will to do anything. I've still been able to pump out quite a few good chapters, but I think I reached the limit. I know it sounds sudden, but I'm going to take a break for a short while. Back in June was when I started writing everyday for my various novels, after a month, I was a bit burned out and took a break. I then was back 3 weeks later and have been since then. Originally, it was more about testing my limits, and it turned into an habit, but I still think I should still stay within the bounds of being well enough to write quality chapters. Anyway, less than a month ago, I was g
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (20) - The Wave of Change
A/N: I didn’t notice, but I took my break right on the 100k words mark! Anyway, here is the chapter! As the day was going, it didn't take long for me to know that nothing was done about the zombies. Seeing how difficult my choices are becoming, it is likely that my sister is faced with considerably difficult choices too. Preventing negative consequences might not be the best way to deal with things. Sometimes, doing a trade-off might be better. Of course, I have no way to know if my sister also has choices and not another form of using her angels, but it doesn't change the fact that I trust her ability to pick the best path. If she decided that sacrificing Sydney was necessary, then I trust her. While I might be a bit short-sighted, I believe she has t
Give me a word I'll make a world Volume 10 - re:D.D. (21) - A Better World
She wasn't feeling much. In fact, both her senses and awareness were limited, for she was currently part of a gigantic mass of flesh. She was right at the center. Maybe it was because her individuality was slowly disappearing, but she had a small moment of clarity. Right as her zombie part was slowly integrating into a greater consciousness, her human side, which had disappeared ever since she became a zombie, reappeared. As her reason came back, it was hit with a truckload of memories, and she was met with horror. It wasn't just what she became or what she did, but also where she was. She could only see darkness, she could hear nothing, she could only feel a wriggling wall of flesh all around, as if she was bathing in it. Latest Chapter
