2022-03-13 14:11:58The sound of a droplet falling in a pool of water reverberated in a poorly lit cave. A warm yellow light flickered inside. His footsteps left shallow prints in his passing, whereas his dark aura overwhelmed the brightness.
Once inside the cave, he saw someone in a seated position in front of a fire with their back turned towards him and a hood covering their head. A female voice warmed his heart. “Welcome, Jin.”
“Who are you? What is this place?”
The young woman stood up and turned towards him. Jin, stunned, took a step back. “Y-You…?”
The girl’s golden hair fluttered like a restless sea. Her warm tone pulled Jin’s heartstrings. The thought alone of the other world hit a nostalgic note of his essence. “Nice to see you again. My actual body has no recollection of this

My Undead System Ch. 22 - Searching for Survivors
Jin opened his eyes and saw half his body submerged in a hole, the one he dug himself out of. Chipped nails dripped blood. The crimson liquid poured from his orifices when the sharp edges of the rocks cut him on his way out of the grave. Ripped clothes with dirt and dried blood. Cuts and bruises dripped fresh, while he chewed on pebbles. He looked around hazily. His blurry vision didn’t help, either. He stroked his eyes, but the particles tore his cornea and more blood gushed out. Once again, he felt relief, thankful he didn’t feel pain, but the situation remained troublesome. With his eyes half open because of the glued eyelids, he crawled all the way to his house. Right after he entered, he went straight to the bathroom, up the stairs, where he tripped a few times. There was no electricity, therefore the icy co
My Undead System Ch. 23 - Round White Hat
The skyline across which surrounded the valley had hues of orange painted to the east. It’s the following morning, and Jin spent the night in the camp of the new people he met the day before. Jin woke up in a tattered tent. He remained laying on his back with his hands supporting his head for a few minutes and pondered over the events that took place. At some point, he chuckled when he remembered the teen growling towards him. -Right after he rendered the teen unconscious, hurriedly the teacher approached Jin and signaled him to stop the brutality. That person wore a white round hat, which made him stand out even among the other weirdos, Jin thought. “My name is Lound…”. He looked at the teen on the ground and shook his head. Lound’s voice was calm and came out soft and unrushed. “This guy here is Ronnie. I’m sur
My Undead System Ch. 24 - The Gravediggers
The shocked expression on Jin’s face became pretty apparent, even to Ronnie, who didn’t even hear what Lound said, but he could see it on him. Jin shoved Lound to the side and created some distance between them. Jin then stared straight into Lound’s eyes. His voice trembled when he uttered. “W-What did you just say?” Lound sighed before taking a deep breath. “When the corpses overran the hospital, a group had already come down from behind, trying to get away. Their leader sprained his ankle. They distanced themselves from the hospital, but corpses rained down on them from all sides.…” Jin focused intensely as to not miss a single word coming out of Lound’s mouth. When Lound paused and caught his breath, Jin’s still heart almost jumped out of his chest. Lound continued with as much detail as possible to ease the young man’s mind. “I, along with a few fellows, helped them get away, and we headed towards our camp when we heard a gunshot coming from the town…”
My Undead System Ch. 25 - Heresy in a Graveyard
Jin looked around him as people of all ages stepped out of their tents while looking at him with awe brimming in their eyes. All of them had the characteristic bone through their noses as if they went through the same ritual. It creeped him out the fact that they had wrapped fingers, ears, and eyeballs around their necks. Each one of them emanated an eeriness, which Jin instantly noticed. Rattled, he took a step back. The people approached him at a slow pace. Even then, they mimicked the way undead walked. Besides that, their murmurs added weight to the ghostly sensation. The camp being in a graveyard didn’t help either. Jin turned to Lound, who kept that same smile as if it was natural for people to act the way they did. Jin froze for a moment before he approached him and whispered. “What’s happening?”
My Undead System Ch. 26 - Fight of the Undead
Rotten limbs and corpses rained on the dirt after Jin flew through the undead wall. The moment he hit the ground; a mouthful of blood sprayed his surroundings. A growl followed from the unfamiliar undead that shook the earth. The group of the camp shut their ears. The intensity forced them to kneel. They flinched when they saw it walking in front of them. The undead ignored them the entire time it was there. For a moment, it glanced in their direction and blood froze in their veins. It returned to where it landed the first time and walked around the altar. It stared for several seconds before knocking it over. Lound, who remained silent and, on his knees, looked over at his frightened group. With movements of his eyes and nods of his head, he signaled them to trickle back, out of its range.
My Undead System Ch. 27 - The Best Mechanic
The motorcycle with the caterpillar track pulled away and created a considerable distance between them and the undead, which feasted on Jin’s arm. When it finished, it threw the bones away and jumped towards them. They barely escaped its landing, which created a small crater upon impact. Blood spilled from its rotting belly. Guts made a splash on the ground. A cloud of dust obscured its visibility. The undead growled at them. The sound wave packed a powerful echo that came close to knocking them off the bike while creating a path towards them at the same time. Jin, half conscious, rode in the middle of the biker and Ronnie, who held onto him, preventing him from falling off. The young man focused intensely on Jin’s missing arm. To his surprise, though, it stopped bleeding after a few seconds. They rode as far as
My Undead System Ch. 28 - Dead of the Night
Dusk brewed over the horizon. Hues of orange painted the evening sky. Sudden bursts of wind rustled the leaves. As the sun descended behind the forestry, its thick foliage weakened the warm rays. Ronnie had gone to gather more wood to keep the fire lit. Octavia helped Jin remove the corpse from the middle of the road. Together, they carried it far enough into the woods, so the stench wouldn’t reach their nostrils when the air carried it. Along the way, Jin fidgeted. “Aren’t you curious…?” Octavia looked at him for some time. She shook her head. “Not really. Lound mentioned something like this. For sure, it surprised me, but as long as you keep your teeth away, we won’t have any issues…” Jin fixated on one part of the sentence. “Wait… Wait. You know Lound?” Octavia nodded. “How did you think I got to you?” “Eh, passing through?” “Nope!” Octavia adjusted her grip. She glanced back through the corner of her eye. Their camp was a v
My Undead System Ch. 29 - Impenetrable
Jin and Octavia remained perfectly still as the undead had them surrounded in seconds. They growled just a breath away. It’s been a while since the pandemic started and the aftereffects became apparent. For some, the teeth blackened, whilst others had pieces of flesh stuck between. Meanwhile, the muscles deteriorated enough for their bone structure to be visible. What appalled them the most was the stench of death that followed. Even if they held their breaths, they had to breathe eventually. The mouthful of air they inhaled later drowned them in dizziness and urged them to puke. As they waited patiently for the corpses to walk past them, Jin monitored them through the corners of his eyes. Once he made sure they were out of grabbing reach, he walked up behind them. With a swift swing of his half-burnt log, he bro

The young man released Jin. Upon setting his sights on the barrel of the gun, shock painted on his face. Rena took him by surprise. The girls shrieked in fear. Jin shook his head, urging Rena to put the gun away. “Such a trivial matter. Rena, what’s the matter with you?”“S-Sorry, I don’t know what came over me…”Rena lied. She knew that even though he was a delinquent, Jared had no chance of beating Jin. Unconsciously, she pulled the gun out, attempting to save his life. The girl, dejected, glued her eyes to the ground. Jin patted her head with a smile on his face. He leaned closed to her ear and whispered. “I know what you did there, but you have no reason to worry. If he doesn’t threaten you, I won’t harm him!”Gina and Minnie sighed in relief, but their impression of Rena changed. Jared still shook in his shoes. His knees lost all strength and he could barely stand. A thud coming from the other side of the door raised their alarm.Jin sprung open the door to see what happened. Th

“Gina! How did it go?” A young man noticed the girl with short red hair coming through the door of the broadcasting room. Gina adjusted her glasses and, with a stern look on her face, glared at the young man. “As good as you would expect…” She took a seat in front of the console and sighed. “Before we could search the area, the corpses were on us. Minnie rushed into the supply room, and I had to come down.” With shock written all over his face, the young man ejected from his seat. “Wait! You mean you left her alone, up there?” Gina ran her fingers through her hair. She tagged them behind her ears and adjusted her glasses. She pushed the button on the console for the microphone to go on. “Minnie, can you hear me? I’ll come back for you, so stay put.” After releasing the button, the mic went off. She turned to the young man and glared at him. “There! Happy?!” Meanwhile, Jin and the others had just finished the undead. Rena looked at Jin with a smile on her face. “It’s the same voic

Jin grabbed the wire rope in time, only to swing and crush on the school’s brick wall. The sudden impact made him lose his grip. He grabbed it once more and slid down for about an entire floor before he could strengthen his grasp.“Jin, are you ok?!”He gritted his teeth. There was no pain and for that he was secretly relieved, but the friction just now nearly reached the bones of his fingers. With two floors to climb, Jin cursed his luck. “I’m fine! I’ll be right over!”Not minding anything else, he pulled himself up, using the wire rope until he reached the roof. Rena let out a sigh of relief and helped him over. She gasped at the sight of his palms. Blood dripped uncontrollably. The flesh vanished entirely.Without saying a single word, Rena ripped a piece of cloth and wrapped his hands. She didn’t know about his skill or that he’ll soon be fine, and Jin chose not to tell her either. Since she’s willing to help, he’ll gladly accept it.Even the Bronze Skin of level 2 couldn’t do an

Known as the home of tarts, Lumina city has one of the best bakeries in the world. Giuseppe’s bakeries held the record for the tastiest tart. The owner started his own little shop before the city expanded to what it was today. Later, when people poured in from all over, wanting to try the famous tart, they came back again and again, which helped with the progress of Lumina. Eventually, corporations built their headquarters in the city and the little bakery became lost in the vast sea of concrete. Rena and Jin found shelter in Giuseppe’s for the night. A brilliant silver moon shone on the city. The shadows of the infected accompanied their growls as they roamed the streets. Rena peaked through the curtain. Her voice came out almost like a whisper. “It’s the same as before. The dead walk around in great numbers.” Jin, in a seated position, leaned back on the counter facing the entrance. “You said you have a plan?” “Yes, if you noticed where we are, the building next to us faces the

With Rena behind the wheel, they reached the city. It was a place Jin had never been before. Since he saw the skyscrapers from Zither village, he wanted the chance to visit it.From the moment they entered, Jin’s mouth distorted in amazement. The tall buildings stretched as high as the eye could see. The massive city was nothing like his Colby town. which accommodated houses down a slightly descending area.This massive city appeared as something extraordinary to Jin. Rena, though who grew up here, had a simple blank expression on her face. “Let’s keep going…”She drove through the abandoned streets. Fire still burnt in some buildings. The crackling sound of it produced aroused an eerie sensation. Like a ghost city, it expanded before them. Jin kept his guard up the entire time since entering the city.Rena kept a steady low speed while looking around at the state her once home had become. A sudden movement caught Jin’s attention.

Right after defeating the level 2 corpse, Jin went and helped with the horde that gave Kroll and others a hard time. With almost all his abilities raised in terms of speed and strength, it was a swift victory. He even had the time later to gather cores. An uneventful week passed by until one night, the infected breached the wooden wall of Zither village. For some unknown reason, the guards keeping watch at the time were not at their posts. Growls during the quietness of the night were a normal occurrence, which is why the people in the village paid no mind to it, appearing to be closer than other times. They knew they were safe. If anything happened, the guards keeping watch would inform them in time. Only this time, it didn’t happen. Jin was asleep in his tent when the scream from a girl woke him up. He jumped out of the bed and went outside, only to see the village overrun with corpses, feasting on the villagers and people in tents. A couple of undead surrounded him, but he easi

He found it weird it didn’t attack him as soon as it spotted him, therefore Jin didn’t attack either.Then a thought popped into his mind. “Is it waiting for me to stand up first?”Jin realized; the undead stared in his direction and yet it didn’t attack.

Jin looked at the burly man straight in the eyes. He wore a sleeveless black t-shirt. His muscular arms had veins bulging. With a face made of sharp cheekbones, one would think they could cut themselves if they touched it the wrong way. Jin kept his composure. With ease, he brushed the burly man’s hand off his shoulder. His mind ran rampant on what this person could want from him. Someone he never met before. “Talk about what?” Not having any difficulty releasing himself from his grip shocked the burly man. In his eyes, Jin looked like a bug he could easily squash. Regardless, he showed him the respect and didn’t dwell on the details. “My name is Yusef. Please allow me to protect Lady Coral!” “Huh?!” Out of the million things Jin thought, the words that came out of Y

The last few nights have been chilly…”Coral’s eyes brimmed with hope whereas her trembling voice echoed her worry and defiance to his words. “No! Not until I see my son! It’s my solace. Let me have this?!”Jorge could only sigh at her stubbornness. He went back inside and returned with a blanket. “At least use this…”“T-Thank you!”***
