[Nightmare Cafe.]

The name was as intimidating as its surroundings.

It was neat and clean compared to most places Gray had been to, yet it gave off a chilling vibe that crawled up his spine.

The place was full of all sorts of people from various walks of life.

They looked casual, but seeing their side-eye glances at him made him aware that one wrong move and Gray was sure he would be dead faster than his brain could react.

"Over here!" Someone at a corner waved, and Gray was instantly met with several pairs of scrutinizing eyes from the nose at the table.

The one who waved seemed welcoming, but looking at the identical person beside him, Gray knew these were the twins.

One had pale purple hair and another had very dark purplish hair.

If not for their hair color, it would be near-impossible to tell them apart.

One was a poison master and the other an alchemist, who occasionally healed people too.

Heh.

Bogo and Rogo

Offend one and you are asking for death.

To their left was Zil

    Sunken buildings buried deep onto the grounds, slopes formed over other buildings, collapsed roads... all sorts of chaotic images flooded Gray's eyes the longer they traveled.Soon, they left the space filled with buried abandoned buildings, now driving along open plains of roads, sand, and ground. Seeing everyone in the vehicle reach for their support, Gray who was seated by the windows also did the same. But just then he spotted the grounds beside his door break apart at an alarming rate.A giant mutated Caterpillar, the size of a human shot out wiggling its hideous body for all to see.It was amazing that these caterpillars which were once benign and minuscule, had now grown to monstrous proportions with insatiable hunger that led them to devour any and everything in their paths.Its body was blue and almost transparent-like, with a wide ring-shaped mouth and sharp razor-like teeth.Graaaaahhhh~Gray was taken aback, instantly staying sharp, knowing this was a Z-grade 1 Blue Cate

    For 30 minutes, they traveled like so until certain they weren't followed. Tapping his feet against the trees Gray soon met Emelia high up, staring at the vast lands surrounding them.They now stood at the tallest tree in their surroundings.The tree overlooked a deadly cliff with its bottom filled with thick fog.Of course, the entire place is misty, but at least very see-through and airy, unlike the thick fog below. Just one stare and Gray knew this fog masked deadlier creatures roaming within it."Well, thank you," Gray said softly. "I'm guessing this is where we split up, right?" Pushing her hair behind her left ear, Emelia tilted her head and showed Gray a true smile.Beautiful.Emelia chuckled, seeing him lost in her beauty again, though she again felt it odd that she wasn't offended."A deal is a deal. As promised, I got you into the forest. Just know that once we cross this fog, we will no longer be in the forest's outskirts. Once in, the true dangers within the forest wil

    There were ants of all kinds here.Some slender and some muscular as though pumping iron and working out for years. But was Gray phased by this? No chance! Raising his fists, he swirled his hands like flowing water at the hoard of ants rushing his way. "Palm Water Fists!"Splack! His fist collided with several ants, pushing them back, as their beheads exploded terribly. Instantly, Gray knew these were the weaker front-line ants, who were sent first to test his strength.But so what? In this battle, there can only be one victor... him! With reddish black blood bonging to the ants flowing Down his face, Gray looked like a killer emerging from an ancient horror movie. No matter how many times he was hit, his smile never faded, not even for a second. Left, right up, down, back, front, ants began haggling him, climbing over him and fiercely staining their blades antennas his way. Both the weak and strong joined in without mercy.

    "Oh my God! This human is crazy!"The mutated ants couldn't help inwardly screaming the same thoughts while rushing to protect their colony and stop the human from going in. What is horror? This is horror! With boundless fear, they created a powerful formation around the mountain-like hill behind them. Wow! Gray was amazed. The gargantuan anthill, mutated by the lingering toxins of the Apocalypse, was like a rising dark tower against the foggy horizon. Its surface was jagged... Its bottom half was cone-shaped, but its long upper shot resembled a twisted skyscraper that was pillaged with eerie life.Okay, but what were these ants doing? ~Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Group by group, they merged, creating several giant forms of themselves that had like minds. If Gray was from ancient times he would've said they paired with each other like The megatons in famous shows like Power Rangers and other galactic movies. Well, it's amazing that they transformed themselves into bigger versions, b

  • My Survival System In An Apocalyptic World   Who To Do It?

    With words that sounded like Death sentences, several people huddled together despite their heavy injuries. Legs injured and bandaged, arms bloodied, shoulders damaged, people laying down with no strength to lift their heads as buckets of sweat covered their bodies and clothes. It was odd that even though it was cold this far down the ground, everyone was sweating gallons. Their worry was evident and their thoughts chaotic. And among them was the man who spoke out earlier, a youngster with a green bandana wrapped around his forehead, allowing his bushy hair to float high like the silhouettes of fiery flames. He had a deep stab injury in his shoulder blade, and a cut-out piece of fabric wrapped around his left hand. Unlike the others, he was the most calm and collected. And although he looked like a 16~17-year-old, his true age was 38.Around him and everyone else were heaps and heaps of carcasses, some human and others, monsters. The bones and skeletons here are too great to ov

    Quickly steadying his breath, Timothy assisted Connor in getting in his back. The man's legs were so badly injured it would be impossible for him to walk out of there on his own. With several weeks and perhaps months of treatment, he should be back on his feet in no time. Of course, if he purchased higher-tier healing potions, his injuries would all be healed in a day. Nodding tactfully Cora grabbed a bone lying around and slowly rose to her feet. All 3 were now ready to leave. But just then, a burly troublesome man rose aggressively. "If you're going, I'll follow too! What? You think you're the only one who has taught like this?"Looking at them arrogantly, the man and his companions lightly dusted his clothes, showing no intention of backing off. Are you kidding? Why should he back off? If anything, they were pleased to follow the group out. They planned to use Timothy, Connor and Cora as shields against the many monsters they might run into.Timothy's eyes turned grim unde

    Creeeeee~The ant queen had a panicked look in its eyes knowing destruction was well on its way to her. But she wasn't the only one feeling like this since Timothy and everyone else also froze in place once they felt the vibrations on the ground grow louder. Dammit! Timothy cursed under his breath. "It's coming this way! Everyone fall back!" There were no nearby branching tunnels from this one, so they had to retreat. Fall back? Fall back? FALL BACK! The confusion only lasted for a month, as those at the far back quickly made U-turns running for their dear lives.Many secretly thanked their lucky stars they weren't the ones leading the group because only those at the forefront were likely to get killed or eaten first. (:~□~:)No one truly cared about retreating stealthily anymore because with the rumbling noises they heard coming their way, everyone knew the chaos approaching was unfathomable.Run! Run! Run!

    Seeing the silhouette fading before them? Everyone opened and closed their mouths, not knowing what to say anymore. This... this... Gone just like that? Shaking his head, many shook their heads, only giving the disappearing silhouette one last look before leaving.It was best for them to leave before such a powerful man changed his mind.Thinking like this, Timothy continued leading them forward with Connor on his back showing the way.However, he knew this period was his safest time because when they reached the exit... the group of thugs following them would waste no time striking them down! But how can he let himself fall after getting a taste of freedom? Giving a side look to Connor, both had tactful understandings that it almost seemed as though they could now communicate with each other telepathically. "Before reaching the exit, we need a diversion.""Before reaching the exit, we need to take them out or lure them into a trap!"That was the only way... Both thought, feel

    Settling In

    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?

    Making A Big Splash?

    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.

    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 Aftermath

    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

    Leaving The Stronghold

    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

    Yegan's Past

    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

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.
