2024-10-29 19:42:56The following night, Jin, along with Kroll and Octavia, reached the tower. It was an abandoned fire lookout. Bricks made a sturdy base for the tall structure. At the top were rails surrounding the wooden canopy.
Mostly, it followed a straight dirt road from the quarry, until they changed their direction towards the dense woods. A few meters out, and they crawled all the way until they reached the tower.
Octavia whispered, pointing at it from behind the bushes. “There it is!”
In a crouching position, they approached the tower, hiding in tall grass and behind trees. Even if they scratched themselves on the rough bark, they’d rather bite their lips until they bled than call out.
Jin looked at their surroundings over and over until he sighed in frustration.

Jin and the others picked a point of entrance and waited for the dark night to camouflage their movements. Kroll, who had a weapon, insisted on going through the area with more people.Jin agreed only if Kroll accepted him to go in first and create a distraction.The camp wasn’t easy to gain access to. There was only one gate, which armed guards always guarded. Surrounding it were tall wooden spikes neatly placed one next to the other, with barely any room for a hand to slip through, let alone a person.While Jin pondered over how to go about it, Octavia approached him with a smile painted on her face. “Last time

Blood splattered and painted Rena’s shocked face. The bullet ricocheted on the metal bar. Jin, from the corners of his eyes, glared at the person behind him who fired that shot.When he got a clear look at his face, Jin grinned. With his baseball bat in hand, he charged at the gunman.[Speed Level 2 activated!]In an instant, he appeared in front of the surprised youth. “Yo, teammate!”Jin forcefully swung his bat and crushed some bones of his old teammate’s hand. Writhing in pain, he crawled to the ground. It was unbearable to even touch his own hand. Fear got the better of him when he noticed bones sticking out of his shattered fingers.Jin clicked his tongue. He grabbed the gun from the young man wh

The bandits stepped back. They never expected for the burly man to go down with a single strike. Much less from a teenager. They had guns, but so did the people with Jin.A roar of an engine soon struck fear in their hearts. The exhaust banged like an explosion. The sound of the caterpillar track echoed like an approaching tank. Bullets coming from Kroll’s and Rena’s handguns made them take cover.Octavia drove into the camp and reached Jin. “Hop on!”Jin did just that and rode together with Octavia out of the camp. Kroll shot his way out.The bandits who hid behind tents and crates came out and fired their guns at them. Jin patted Kroll’s shoulder to get his attention and pointed at the tent with the weapons. “Ammunition and powder th
My Undead System Ch. 38 - Sixth Sense
The veil of darkness dissipated when the warm rays sprung from the east. It hasn’t been long since morning came when Kroll and the others arrived at the quarry.It felt odd when they realized they wouldn’t be anyone waiting for them at the tower. They thought for sure that they would eventually meet resistance there before fighting their way through.After discussing it through, they agreed to leave their vehicles outside and sneak in instead. Unsure of what they might encounter, a safe approach was their best bet. The narrow path between the mountains brought out an eerie sensation to their bones.Tired and hungry, not to mention the anxiety building up in their hearts, Kroll made the first move. “I’ll go in. Rena should be last. You have the other gun. In case something goes wrong, you can escape and warn Jin!”With the worst-case scenario in mind, Kroll walked through the path, with his guard up and his pistol ready to fir

Jaxon’s expression showed irritation. “I remember you! You are the brat from that day—” The formation of the quarry was like a deep crater. The only way in and out was through the narrow path created by two mountains which the bandits blew up, trapping themselves inside. Jin was atop the wall of the crater. Using his abilities, he climbed the side of the quarry and reached the peak. Staring down at them, Jin sneered. “So, what if I am?” Jin jumped down. The impact of his landing raised clouds of dust, and rubble flew in different directions. Jaxon, taken aback by his action, clenched his fists. “Be careful. That guy evolved!” His fellow bandits heard the words that came out of their leader’s mouth. They gulped a mouthful
My Undead System Ch. 40 - Parting Ways
Jin defeated Jaxon, the bandit leader. His remaining forces surrendered. Some even joined Kroll and his group. They kicked out the others.Several days after what happened at the Quarry, Jin and the others moved to a place without fumes. He had already set the plan in motion when they headed to the bandit camp.The people at the quarry heard of a secure location. A village at the top of mount Rockell, not so far from where they were, but because of the bandits, they couldn’t leave. Even if they tried, the tower would report it to the bandits.According to the rumor, the village supposedly had walls, food, and water. Jin, Kroll, and their group followed a few days after Jorge and Coral left. They had no way to communicate and confirm the rumor, therefore they could only see with their own eyes.Besides that, Jin had to explain the situation with the evolutions he and the bandit leader Jaxon had gone through.

At the top of Mount Rockell, Coral patiently sits at the gate. She refused to leave that post. The people at the village admired her tenacity and, after several tries to have her go inside, they gave up.Jorge, with sorrowful eyes, approached the raven-haired woman. “Lady Coral, why don’t you come inside? 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!”***

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 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.

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.
