"You! You! You! You--" The Zombie leader was shocked, seeing that no matter who it threw Gray's way, Gray would always come out unscathed. Who am I? What am I? Where am I? It has foggy powerful humans not too long ago, winning victoriously and even taking some of those powerful humans as its underlings.Look! Look over there and you'll see some of those in here wearing uniforms belonging to that of the world government. It was funny because the zombie leader was one of the weakest here, in terms of strength! There were level-2 zombies here and level-3 Zombies with high danger rates that were not to be trifled with. Yet, they were all under its command. Thousands of them obeyed him and went to war wherever he sent them.Understand that the 3000 people he had here, were those who survived the last war without heavy casualties. Initially, he amassed 10,000 zombies but the war was so great, he lost 7000. Now he went into hiding to slowly build his strength. That said, using 3000
With the system's reminder, Gray quickly dug into the Zombie leader's brain, finding a blue glowing ball at the center."Now I remember! It's said all Zombies have cores. If I absorb the energy in these cores, I can enhance my innate abilities and even awaken new ones... But how true is that?" Bam! Gray nonchalantly blew 20 Zombies away in one punch while still staring at the blue glowing core. Hey...Why was he so lucky?The zombie had psychic abilities, and he too had innate Psychic abilities. So after absorbing the core, his psychic level should go up too, right? Sure enough, after absorbing, his Physic ability jumped from level 2 to Level 4. Hey! That's 2 levels up! (^□^)Gray couldn't help looking at the dead Zombie leader with gratitude. Thank you, bro. (-_-) [Dead Zombie Leader]Did it ever have a choice? Gray moved his hands severally, sending another wave of zombies flying. Fuck off! Can't you see he is busy? Looking at his kill point, he was amazed that killing
Hmph! Gray absorbed the many cores while pushing back several undead. After killing their leader, he didn't kill any other undead, only focusing on claiming his prize from the others he killed. He didn't have time to waste down here. The more he absorbed, the more his absorption speed went off. Fray noticed that with the system anything could become a skill that can be leveled up.After sending a fierce wave to push them away, Gray vanished in the blink of an eye, heading back the same way he came. The swamp. "If I take any other tunnel, I'm likely to run into others." He cautioned not wanting to run into any awakeners. Finding the path, he jumped up as high as he could, shooting up the hole and using his hands to lightly tap the walls for added momentum. Soon, he was out of the tree, surrounded by Swamp. --Silence--... Nothing was happening. The site was quiet, with no other signs of life around except the few swamp creatures poking their heads out of the waters from time
Emelia already had a headache just from looking at her.Since young, Lucinda loved competing with her over everything. Emelia recalled that when she was 3 years old, Lucinda challenged her to a killing contest, challenging her to see who would kill the most mice in a trapped room. Of course, she effortlessly won but Lucinda cried to the moon, swearing to get revenge. The 3-year-old her at the time, felt dizzy from Lucinda's childishness.Every year since then, Lucinda has been challenging her nonstop. Not once has Lucinda won against her.But things don't just end there. Sometimes Emelia didn't even know they were having competitions. For example, last week Lucinda rushed over, bragging about her 3.9 Spirit score.Emelia didn't say anything, but her maid accidentally let the cat out of the bag, causing Lucinda to storm out in shame and fury.What was Emelia's spirit score? 4.1.Towards Lucinda, Emelia felt she had no brain cells left to deal with this Hartford girl. It's said tha
Why? Why does Emelia always look down on her? Lucinda was hurt, vexed and extremely irritated. "You lie, Emelia! I won't move! Today, I'll prove I'm better than you!"Seeing the extension, the lead guard behind Lucinda inwardly smirked. If he should lay a finger on Emelia, no one would truly blame him. Rather, the Bandolian family will mostly focus their fury on Lucinda. Everyone knows that their Hartford miss was pompous, arrogant, and vicious.So who would think a guard like himself acted on his own? Everyone will place their hatred on Lucinda.The lead guard thought well, even thinking that this matter might help their ultimate mission of not letting Lucinda return alive. If more negative things come out about Lucinda, her death would be easily overlooked by many. The lead guard had a good plan. But who knew their miss who always falls for their traps, wouldn't fall for this one? "Miss, do you want us to do it?" "Shut up!" Lucinda lashed out. "This is between her and I!
Run!!!!The words echoed in Lucinda's, causing her body to instinctively act on its own What's going on? The canyons were filled with many, many caves, but they dared not venture in since the rock creatures resided there. Their only choice now was in the open spaces between the canyons, hoping they could get out of this maze on time before it's too late! Throwing their heads behind their shoulders, everyone saw a grotesque scene that sent shivers down their spines. Hundreds and hundreds of roaring Zombies were now escaping a certain cave! They ran out like crazy, jumping down, rolling and even tripping over themselves. But they quickly rose, running again after seeing living beings like Emelia ahead. Brauns! Brains! Brains! The Zombies were relentless. Everyone noticed that within the group, some higher-level ones showed remarkable speed and strength. These jumped high like grasshoppers, sniffing the air like dogs while twitching like patients having seizures. "We can't ou
Indeed, this was a stile and selfish world. Its every man, woman, child, chicken and even fish for themself. What? You expect him to be a good guy, blocking off attacks and watching them run off to enjoy their lives while he turns into a Zombie? How naive! The lead guard looked at everyone with hate, shamelessly running beside them as though promising that should he turn, he would definitely not let any of them go! Boom! Emelia and several people urged waves of attacks on him, before he could even smile. For once, the other guards and Emelia
What was going on here?(?~?)It wasn't just Emelia who was wondering the same thing. In various corners around the Forest, people reported instances of zombie hoards spotted. These zombies came out of holes, caves, tunnels and hidden paths no one expected to exist. They bit some creatures, turning these creatures into zombie beasts. Indeed, the night was growing more and more chaotic by the second. And Hufferstone who has long returned to the forest, was taken aback by the numerous reports relayed by the many command centers stationed within forest perimeters. "What? A zombie hoard? Dammit!" Hufferstone's hands ran through his desk, throwing everything down in a fit of fury. He couldn't understand it. Just what was that bastard annoying? Why cause so many Zombie hoards in one night? Is there a greater scheme to this that they knew nothing about? Those in the room dared not breathe, only watching their leader tremble with fury.Their heads also spun, wondering wha
Venturing into the academy, everyone was not disappointed. There were towering castle-like stony buildings scattered around with magnificent giant statutes. Wow! Was that water flowing out from the mouths of several stone dragon heads? Gray had never seen anything like this before! The buildings were all so gigantic, and the space stretched out for as far as the eyes could see, enclosing many hills, paths and terrains. Some buildings stood on hills, others stood on cliff sides, and some stood on ground floor with massive ancient fountains shooting out at the center of their many courtyards.Many people's hearts hammered in their chests, feeling country bumpkins seeing city life for the first time. Everyone who has gotten accepted into the academy, was obviously an awakened human. So kicking their feet, they steadily ran forward to cover more ground. Walking normally will take them forever to get to their quarters. So how dare they dilly dally when nightfall had already come?
After fighting, boxing, stabbing and punching, Gray finally saw the academy’s silhouette from a distance. “Really there?” Real or fake? The siblings, Fariel and Faron, who were behind Gray, were painting heavily, wondering how this guy could fight and keep running at the speed he did without even breaking a sweat. You have to know that they were panting so hard after running 5 hours at max speed while carrying their luggage. Fortunately, this guy didn't mind fighting off the many underground creatures and clearing the path for them. Who was he truly? Could this guy be a senior and not a first year like them? Giving each other tactful stares, suddenly, they didn't feel like geniuses anymore after being with Gray for this short time. Just this accident that happened earlier, allowed them to know how big the world truly was. Forget revenge. They must first grow strong enough to survive before thinking of ever making a move at their cousin who clearly had all the resources an
In another corner, a broken down vehicle was getting ambushed by flesh eating plants from all corners. The vines yanked the massive metal tires away, before reaching force to tears the rest of the vehicle apart. Bam! The 2 siblings in the vehicle broke through the vehicle’s roof, getting on it while fighting the many vines that came their way. “Brother!” The dainty girl with brown hair in a ponytail and short bangs, quickly called to her brother when feeling a sharp pain on her left leg. Oh no! One of the spiky vines was now wrapped several times around her leg, pulling her away without mercy. “Sister!!!” ~Slash! Slash! Slash! The brown curly haired boy sliced and diced with his long twin blades with a pale face when seeing his sister getting dragged into the ground below. They were supposed to go to the academy, grow strong together, so they can finally take their revenge on their despicable cousin who caused their parent’s deaths. Their journey towards revenge had just
Vrmmmmm! The vehicle roared to life, its engine bellowing like a beast unleashed. Gray's cheeks flapped wildly, his gums fully exposed as Yegan's car surged forward with incredible speed. "Fuck!" Gray cursed inwardly, his fingers digging into the seat. In this post-apocalyptic era, seatbelts were a forgotten luxury, a relic of a safer past. Just having a car, especially one pieced together from rusted scrap, was a miracle in itself. If Gray had been born before the apocalypse, he would have marveled at these current steampunk-inspired vehicles that ran on water and sometimes coal. The engin
The Dean looked at Yegan's gangster attitude and wasn't offended. Reaching for the bottom of his desk, he calmly took out 2 vials and threw them Gray's way. Gray held on to them in confusion but soon understood their uses thanks to the dean and the system. The first was a Grade Z-3 Energy gathering elixir. It was blue and would make many newly awakened humans breakthrough in strength. Having a Z-3 grade potion was very unbelievable. Do you know what Z-3 is? In Z-sphere, pills, potions and elixirs are graded from Z-1 to Z-6. Weapons and skills are also graded as such. For people like them at the bottom of the awakened food chain, a Z-3 potion was like a godly item dropped from the heavens. The next vial contained 4 red booster pills that will give anyone additional strength for at most an hour after taking it. It's just that your eyes will give away the fact that you took it. Still, when fighting for your life out in the forest or dangerous places, who cares if your ey
"Teacher," Lohan's voice humbly bellowed. "Apologies, won't be going with you at once. But I swear to report to the academy soonest."He came from a clan and had several matters to finalize before leaving. What's more, if he left his mother without so much as a simple goodbye, he truly believed the woman would storm the academy and break in just to give him a good beating. Don't underestimate his mother. In their clan, although his father was a Patriarch, his mother was stronger than his father. It's said that growing up, his mother used to beat his father in battles so badly that anyone with common sense would stay away. But his father seemed to be a different breed, sticking his mother like glue. One thing led to another and now, they're married with 2 children, himself and his younger sister. It was amazing how many times Lohan had heard his father falling off from bed from his mother's kicks. His mother loved wearing handles and always walked with her hands on her waist an
Many recruiters stared at Yegan with envious eyes. This guy managed to indirectly recruit 4 of the top 6 giants into his school. Lucinda and Emelia were going to his academy, alongside Gray and Lohan who now had different identities, being his students.All 4 are going to Phoenix Tide Academy, who would've known the odds would be so different? Luckily for the other academies, they could still recruit a few more impressive students below the big 6. Of course, many talents had long decided to attend Yegan's academy too. It can be said that before today, several people had done their research, already having a clue of where they wanted him You could say that Gray was the only oddball who didn't even bother researching what academies would benefit him or not. After all, understand that it's just recently that the system came to him. With his previous 1.4 spirit score, although he didn't want to give up, he subconsciously knew his fate. Thus, never bothered researching the big acad
True or false? Many looked at the intimidating Yegan and suddenly felt shivers crew up their spines. Gray's head was lowered, so no one could see what his expression was. But if it were them, they would definitely jump at the chance of leaving Yegan's side. F***! Didn't you know what the female recruiter said? The last time Yegan had a student 35 years ago, his training was so intense that the student appealed to the academy on his knees, crying and begging for a way out. The student looked like he was begging for his life, even promising to work free for the academy and do multiple jobs on their behalf if it meant he would never get Yegan as his teacher again. Yegan has only had 2 students he took in all his life. The first one unfortunately died out on a mission and the 2nd disgraced him, throwing his face when begging to be removed from his care. People speculate that Yegan began stricter in his teachings after the death of his last Student. Anyway, the one pleading gave
"What is it? What is it?... What is the score?"Many people poked their heads over other's shoulders, clenching their fists to bite the anxiety that was eating them up inside. And then… the score finally stabilized. [49145]Boom! Many felt their chests, breathing in and out like crazy while others rubbed their eyes to ensure they weren't dreaming. 49 thousand, 1 hundred and 45.That score was too shocking! Many didn't even have to quench their shock before Gray bombarded them with another surprise attack. Putting his hands on the Spirit Ball, Gray felt the surge of energy explore every nuke and cranny of his body.It took a long time, a little longer than others .. and when it stopped, many cleaned in, forgetting to breathe. With their awakened eyegazes, they could further than a normal human. [ Purity (%): 100 ][Spirit Score: 5.2]--Silence--The whole place fell in utter silence, as they still couldn't believe their eyes. This… this… isn't this witnessing history in the ma
