She is gone!

Just like that,the once peaceful world,now running around in chaos and destruction. No one knows the cause or cure of the disease, it just seemed to spread all of a sudden. Village to village,town to town,city to city.

Kadori kept running back to his home,trying his best to stay away from the main road for they were now flooded with the creatures.

Kadori's heart raced whenever he thought of the state his mother could be right now. He was unsure whether she was still alive or has turned to the creature also.

After running for what seemed like forever,he finally arrived at his house. Luckily,the madness hasn't reached the area where he lived.

"Mom! Mom!" Kadori called out as he barged into the house and began to search around. He didn't seem to find her anywhere inside the house,making him fall on his kneels and tears rolled down.

"Kadori,are you okay?" A sweet lady's voice sounded from behind,turning around,Kadori was filled with joy to find his mother unharmed.

He quickly stood up and hugged her,"I am glad you are okay,mom." Kadori said,hugging her tightly.

"I am okay, Kadori." His mother hugged him back,sensing something was wrong.

"We have to get out of here quickly,the world is in danger." Kadori pulled away and began to pack the necessary stuffs.

"What do you mean?" His mother asked with a puzzled expression.

"Everyone outside is getting infected by a strange disease. We have to go to Uncle Duncan,he knows the way out." Kadori replied,hastily packing his stuffs into a sack.

"Kadori,you are scaring me,what is going o.."

Bang!

A loud banging sound was heard as the entrance door was sent flying. What looked like a man with torn face and body,intestine sticking out of his stomach and razor sharp fangs walked in slowly.

The creature seemed to be chewing something as blood dripped down from it's mouth. Kadori could easily guess what it was feasting on.

Kadori's mom,Sarah,pulled Kadori behind her as she grabbed a huge stick for protection.

The creature examined the two strange humans infront of it before charging forward,making a gultural noise.

Sarah lifted up the huge stick,pulled her hand backwards,before swinging it out with all her might.

The stick connected neatly with the creature's head,forcing it to take few steps backwards,then a loud cry of agony followed after.

"Go! Go!" Sarah ordered,prompting Kadori to go out through the back door.

Arriving outside the small house,they found hundreds of thesame creatures heading towards them, "Sh*t,go back!"

They went back inside,and found the creature Sarah hurt earlier fully recovered.

The creature tackled Sarah to the ground and tried to force it's fangs to take a bite on her skin. Sarah struggled with all her might to avoid it biting her.

"Die!" Kadori shouted,slaming a huge plank on the creature's head,forcing it to get off Sarah.

"Let's go!" Sarah ordered,grabbing Kadori's arm and the duo ran out through the front door.

Outside was also crowded with people trying to save their lives,and the creatures biting and turning them .

"This way!" Kadori pointed,"Uncle Duncan is in that area."

The duo began to run,dodging attacks from the creatures while running. Families running eltersketter,abandoning their fellow loved ones. Everyone thinking about how to save their own skin,no time to think about saving someone else.

"Dad? Dad!" A girl cried while looking lost in the middle of disaster.

Sarah haulted her steps to see the girl crying. Catching a glimpse of the girl,she quickly recognized her. Olivia Gladstone. She was of the same age as Kadori,sporting black hair,heart like shaped face and a nice body.

The Gladstone's family was the only family who showed Kadori's family kindness,despite their family differences. The Gladstone family were wealthy people,but they were never for ones proud and treated the poor badly.

Taking pity on her,Sarah tried to approach her to help,but got stopped by Kadori.

"Mom,what are you doing? We don't have time." Kadori warned.

"We can't leave her." Sarah said,pulling her arm away from her son's and ran to approach Olivia.

"Are you okay? Where's your dad?" Sarah asked with a concerned look.

"H-h-he was taking." Olivia wept bitterly while hugging Sarah.

"It's going to be okay,Olivia,you are.." Before Sarah could finish her words,one of the creature appeared behind her and bit down on her fresh shoulder.

"Mom!" Kadori cried,running towards them with a plank in his hand. When he got in striking distance,he slammed the plank on the creature's head,but it still refused to take it's mouth off her shoulder.

Kadori took out his small knife from his pocket and stabbed the head with all his strength. Finally,the creature let go of her and fell down,but not dead.

"No,no" Kadori cried,kneeling down beside his mother. The wound inflicted by the fangs were now becoming black,black veins now appearing on her body.

"Go,Kadori,you both should find Uncle Duncan and be safe." Sarah managed to speak,her face twisting in strange ways and her bones began to crack.

"No,mama,i-i can't leave you!" Kadori cried.

"It's okay,Kadori,It's okay. Now go, and don't forget i'll always love..."

Sarah's body began to shake uncontrolably,making the two teenagers to flinch. Her body began to twist and bone cracking sound could be heard.

"I am sorry..i am sorry." Kadori cried,turning his head backwards to see her for the last time before running off.

****

People enrering into a large ship that was waiting for them in the river,eveyone rushing in quickly to avoid it getting full and end up left behind to face those vicious creatures.

"Where are you." Uncle Duncan pondered,scanning the people rushing into the ship while he stood at the top of the ship. He was checking if he would spot Kadori.

Amidst the crowd,a skinny looking boy could be found,wearing a sad face. Spotting him,Uncle Duncan came down from the ship and smuggled Kadori and his friend in.

"Where's your mother?" Uncle Duncan asked,Kadori just stood there in silence as tears rolled down his cheek. Uncle Duncan quickly got the message. She was dead.

    The crowd gathered around the dead creature,examining it to check if it was fully dead. Some examined it to see just how much the disease turned a fine young man into a creature like this."Everyone move away from the bodies!" Uncle Duncan ordered,analyzing the body of the dead creature and the body of the lady that got bitten.There was a probability that the lady would rise up from the dead and transform into one of the creature. If that should happen,it was best to get everyone away from her.Kadori glanced at Bjorn who stood beside him,fidgeting in fear and sweat dripping down his face. Bjorn just experienced what the bite could do and how they killed the bitten one without stopping to think that it was once a human.Bjorn feared that if they should find out,thesame thing would happen to him.Seeing Bjorn's frightful look,Kadori decided not to say anything and just wait a little. Kadori also found Bjorn's case strange. Kadori wasn't certain of how long Bjorn has been bitten,and sin

    The day finally became dark and the villagers began to fall asleep one by one. Some still chose to stay up and keep their guards on incase of any infected person,while some chose to rest after having a very traumatizing day."What do you mean power?" Kadori questioned after hearing Bjorn's words. He never expected the bite to make one stronger or powerful."I am not sure." Bjorn replied,resting his back on the wooden surface, "Take a look." Bjorn said,lifting up his sleeves,revealing his white fresh wrist. The bite marks and veins that were there ones,disappeared completely.Kadori grabbed Bjorn's arm to take a closer look,"How?" Kadori asked."I guess it's the same super healing as that girl over there." Bjorn replied,pointing at the girl who got bitten earlier. She was already asleep so she didn't notice Bjorn pointing a finger at her."Can i borrow that?" Bjorn asked,refering to Kadori's small knife. Kadori handed the knife over to him,confused on why he needed to borrow it.After r

    After receiveing tons of scolding,Kadori got isolated from the crowd. He was taken to an inner room in the ship where the soldiers take their nap after patrolling.The place was dimly lit with candles hanging on the wall here and there. Kadori sat on the floor,his arms folded as he awaited further instructions.For someone who just murdered his fellow human,Kadori instead,felt no remorse. He felt like the man deserved it. Everyone was hungry,why did he chose to steal from a child? The man probably saw Kadori as a weak and feeble boy,and if he stole his food,he would be unable to fight back.Sitting there patiently,Kadori could hear his stomach rumbling loudly out of hunger and he was begining to feel extremely weak.'Why save us when we are going to eventually die of hunger?' Kadori pondered.The entrance door swung open,and in came Uncle Duncan carrying a tray full of food."He walked towards a small round table that was positioned at the center of the room,placing the tray on the t

    Everyone divided themselves into a group of 100,and a soldier stationed in every group. After everything was all set,they began to venture into the island.Uncle Duncan guided Kadori's group as they headed further in. The island didn't look like any normal island. This one was far bigger than normal island. If they were to explore the place as a unit,it would likely take a year to cover half of the island.The weeds and tall mushrooms filled the place,making it look like a forest."So is this where we'll live for the rest of our lives?" Olivia asked,her voice low and timid."I guess so." Uncle Duncan replied,chopping off leaves blocking his path with his blade, "If we manage to find a safe spot,we'll build a small village there.""So what do you expect us to eat here? Mushrooms?" A rugged looking man with bald head and bushy beards asked."Well,if that's what is available then yes,we'll eat mushrooms." Uncle Duncan replied,giving the man a glare."I rather die than eat this stinking

Uncle Duncan asked,examining Modred to see if a change is evident on him."He was bitten right in front of me!" The young soldier replied,his blade still pointed towards Modred."Show me." Uncle Duncan demanded from Modred,his hand on the hilt of his sword."It healed up." Modred replied,revealing his neck to Uncle Duncan. There seemed to be no trace of blood or wound on it, "After i got bitten,i thought i would turn. But instead,i could feel this raw energy surging inside of me.""At first i felt extremely hot ss the energy burned inside of me,then later i began to feel cold as ice. It took few minutes before i recovered,and when i did,i felt stronger and faster." Modred explained geniuely.Hearing Modred's explanation,Uncle Duncan knew Modr

Punching out his fist, his arm began to grow in size and length.It kept increasing like a giant's fist, and kept on stretching towards Xi who still stood there calmly.When the giant fist was only few inches away from him, Xi moved his body slightly, dodging the strike completely.Luquita didn't relent.

    Hearing Sikes voice and catching a glimpse of his face, the duo moved several meters backwards to create gap."What's happening to him?" Kadori uttered in confusion while examining Sikes's physical appearance. He moved from being a good-looking boy, to a beast with claws and fangs."It's probably the side effects of the false turning." Geralt responded, keeping his guard on incase of any sudden attack."What do you mean?" Kadori inquired in confusion after hearing Geralt's response."Since Sikes didn't agree to get turned into a Subplayer and you still turned him, it resulted to a side effect, and one of the side effect is what we are witnessing right now." Geralt answered back."So, what does he mean by he is not hungry for food? And the way he is looking at you, it is like he wants to feed on you." Kadori uttered, noticing Sikes gaze wasn't fixed on him but Geralt."You are right." Geralt intoned, also noticing the way Sikes is glaring at him with his glowing green eyes.After glar

Geralt walked in and had his mouth wide opened after catching a glimpse of who stood infront of him."Kadori?" Geralt blurted in shock, moving closer to him. "I heard the news. Are you okay?

    Beast, being absorbed into his arsenal, can only be summoned when he agrees to and calls out the word "Summon". But Kadori didn't wish to summon the beast, nor did he say "Summon", and yet it was summoned and now killed Sikes in cold blood.'What just happened?!' Kadori pondered, sweat dripping down his chin as he leaned in front of Sikes's body to take a closer look. 'He's dead!' Kadori screamed internally after checking Sikes's pulse.There was a rule in the base that stated a murderer should be killed instantly. If the staff figures out Kadori ended Sikes, he would get killed also.'What am I going to do?!' Kadori pondered, his heart racing as he cracked his brain on how to get out of the mess.[WOULD YOU LIKE TO USE FORCE NECROMANCING?]A holographic screen materialized in front of Kadori, which caused a puzzled expression to etch on his face.

    I stabbed you. How the hell are you here, and unharmed?" Sikes questioned, gulping down saliva as beads of sweat trickled down his face."It must have been Nurse Freya who healed him. She is a Diamond 2 healer," Cameroon whispered to Sikes, who had a surprised expression etched on his face. Hearing Cameroon's words, Sikes regained his confidence and stepped forward."You came here to get your revenge, right?" Sikes voiced. "I guess that confident attitude of yours finally landed you in trouble because I'll make sure I kill you for making Sensei Xi kick us out of the club!" Sikes spat, launching forward once more with a bright yellow light surrounding his body and smoke emitting from his head.When he got within striking distance, he pulled his clenched fist backwards and swung out a punch. The punch headed straight for Kadori's head, but he lifted his right arm and blocked the strike from connecting."Argh!" Kadori grunted in pain as he felt his arm being burnt once it touched Sikes's

    The afternoon breeze blew and made the long black hair of Nurse Freya flow and cover her face, causing her to lift her hand and push the hair behind her ear. She was currently standing on a balcony where she could see the whole base from. Her mind seem to be troubled after witnessing such an impossible feat. 'Is he truly a mere Bronze 1?' She pondered, her long white coat being blown by the breeze."What's the matter, Freya?" Sensei Xi's voice sounded from behind as he approached her. "Is he concious now?"Freya stood mute for few seconds before finally shifting her gaze towards Xi. "There is no injury to treat." Freya stated, causing a puzzled expression to etch on Sensei Xi's face."What do you mean?" Sensei Xi inquired in confusion, the breeze blowing his snow white hair and reveleaving the beautiful glowing blue eyes beneath it."Are you sure he was stabbed?" Freya questioned. "Did you witness it?"Memories of Sikes blade being dug into Kadori's chest flashed back to him. "Yeah,
