"Rooaaarrr" The figure behind me roared as the pocket knife planted itself in the middle of it's skull, killing it instantly.
"What the?, what just happened, how did I do that" I said to myself as I recalled how I was able to accurately hit the figure's head.BANG"Arrg, get away from me" I suddenly heard a gunshot followed by the scream I had heard previously."A survivor, I have to find him" I said hurriedly as I stormed out of the room, as I did, I failed to spot the sparks of green light that flowed out of the corpse into my shoulder."Where did the sound come f..." Before I could finish the sentence, I heard another scream coming from my right so I followed the sound until I arrived at a large door in the hallway, the sound was coming from behind the door."Ok here goes nothing" I said as I opened the door slightly and peered in, this hallway had only one light which was also dim so I switched off my phone's torchlight and walked in while pulling out my gun.As I moved, I could smell a huge stench of blood in the hallway which showed that a bloodbath happened here, within the hallway there stood a figure with a gun who was pointing his gun at a zombie which didn't have legs but was able crawl."Shit, shit, get the fuck away from me, do you know who I am, I studied under Jackie Chan, I am a certified kung Fu master" The figure said as he pointed the gun at the zombie."What is this idiot doing?, just fucking shoot it" I said to myself as I observed his actions."You give me no choice" The figure said as he started shooting.BANGBANGBANG"What the.." I said with shock at the scene before me but not because the guy had actually shot the zombie but because even though he had shot, not a single bullet hit the zombie."Damn it this again, at least I tried though" The figure said with a shake of his head."Hey blockhead, the fuck is wrong with you, you just wasted all that bullets" I said angrily as I walked over to him."Who the fuck are you, did your mom make all those bullets, bitch" The figure said with mockery."The fuck are you calling a bitch, dipshit" I said with a frown."I'm talking to your ass you pink-faced small-headed racist piece of shit, just cause I'm black doesn't mean you can just say whatever you want" The figure said with anger.ROARRR"Shut the fuck up, wait you're black, oh I didn't know you were black, I'm so so.." ..." I said to the zombie then turned to the figure with a sorry look, it was now that I could finally see his full appearance, it was a black American young man around the ages of 25-30 years, he was actually handsome with a well built body, his height would be around 5"5.ROARRR"Shut your white ass up, you racist fuck" The figure cursed."Wait, what has this got to do with you being black, are you trying to make me forget the fact that you just wasted those bullets" I said with realization."What, of course not, I'm Rash by the way" The figure said, quickly changing the subject."You trickster, I'm Dominic" I said with a shake of my head."Watch and learn boy, this is how it's done" I said as I aimed at the zombie's head then turned my head to look at Rash.'Wait, could he be a weapons master' Ron thought to himself.BANGBANGBANGROARRR'Fuck, I didn't hit it, damn it after all my cool talk' I thought with disbelief."Holy shit, you didn't even graze it, you weak ass piece of shit, just when I was starting to admire you" Rash laughed as he stared at me."Huh, it was probably a slip" I said with a frown as I aimed and fired twice, one managed to land a headshot."Shut your white ass up, hahaha, look at you thinking you're John Wick and all, showoff" Rash mocked with a funny expression that pissed me off."Piss off asshole, huh, wait can you see this light?" I asked Rash as I saw several green lights floating from the corpse onto the tattoo which glowed lightly, this had happened to all the zombies that he had killed."What light, do you also have an eye defect?, wow you are really one unlucky human 'being'" Rash said with an even heavier laughter.'Huh, so I'm the only one who can see the light, then I have to keep it a secret' I thought because now that the apocalypse had arrived, all rules that applied before were now gone, this had turned to a cat-eat-dog world,.the ones who were previously suppressed would now turn into bosses."Hmm, so we are on the top floor, we need to get out of this hospital, I have somewhere I need to go" I said as I thought of my parents who I didn't know of their situation."Hmm, yeah you're right so what are your stats?" Rash asked curiously."My what?" I asked with puzzlement."Your stats, wait you don't even know of this, wow, were you born yesterday, don't you read webnovels and manga?" Rash said speechlessly."All hail the 'Otaku Master', are you a kid, nobody reads webnovels these days, you douche" I replied with a smirk."You ignorant fool, because of my knowledge in webnovels and manga, I have a bigger survival rate than you" Rash said proudly."Did that literally just come out of your mouth, you that can't even kill a zombie without legs at close range" I said with a stoic expression."If you say it like that, it actually makes sense so why don't we team up, you have the brawn and I have the brains, we would be the perfect com..." Rash was saying with a thoughtful expression when a loud roar suddenly sounded.ROARRR'What was that, was it just my imagination or did that roar sound different from the previous ones, this could be an elite, we have to progress carefully' I thought after comparing the roars."Let's go" I said to Rash as I grabbed the gun tightly and walked towards the direction of the roar."What do you mean let's go, and why are you going in the direction of the roar" Rash said with a frown."The exit is in that directiobn, duh" I replied nonchalantly while still walking."But there.." Rash said with fear."Wow so now the Otaku Master is a coward and a scaredy cat" I taunted Rash who turned angry and said to me."I was just saying that cause I thought you were scared" Rash said with a frown."What you just said makes zero sense" I said with a mocking grin.**********************************************"The sound came from the top there" I said as I tightened my grip on the gun."Maybe this wasn't a good idea" Rash said with fear as his hands holding the pocket knife trembled."Make sure you don't make a sound, I think I see something" I cautioned as I tried to make out a huge figure crouched within the darkness."Oh what's this?" Rash said absentmindedly as he bent down to see what he had stepped on."Is that a...ugh.." When he picked the object and saw what it was, he immediately dropped it and threw up."Shit what did I tell you, didn't I tell you to keep quite" I scolded angrily and as I turned back, I froze."Ugh, that is disgusting, hey what's wrong with you" Rash said with disgust as he wiped his mouth and stared at me."We have a problem" I replied as I pointed forward."What do you mean, there's nothing there" Rash said as he glanced over to where I pointed."Yeah, that's the problem, there was something over there just a moment ago, I turned my head for a second and it disappeared, from now on listen to every instruction I tell you, the first is to shut up and the second is to stay alert, okay" I whispered and as I turned to face Rash, I saw a slimy substance on his shoulder."Hey you can't just touch me, ugh, what is that?" Rash asked as I touched the slimy substance with the Pocket knife.SIZZLE"Melting, that's acid or ve...shit move" As I observed part of the knife melting, I suddenly realized something as I quickly pushed Rash backwards while also simultaneously moving backwards, after doing this I immediately aimed the gun above our previous location and fired.BANGBANGROARA loud roar sounded as I saw a figure above which shot a stream of greenish liquid towards me, I quickly twisted my body to the right in hopes of avoiding it, I managed to avoid most of it but I was still grazed by it, as I moved backwards, I saw that where we were previously standing was now filled with a greenish liquid.SIZZLE"Arrg shit, Rash run I'll distract it, don't worry I'll find you when I lose it" I said as I grabbed my left arm in pain while I also fired some shots at the figure which approached me with anger."Damn it, I'm sorry I am so weak I..." Rash said with gritted teeth as he got up."Just go dammit, I don't even know you, so stop being a whiny kid and just go" I said as I ran while the figure chased me."Shit shit shit" Rash cursed as he turned and ran unwillingly.As soon as I saw that Rash was out of view, I calmed down and observed my surroundings as I ran through the hall."I need to lose it but how, shit this is crazy, I'm running from a freaking zombie something" I said to myself with fear as I raced through the hallway."Huh is that a door, if I can just lock it on this side, I may be able to trap it" I thought as I burst forward at top speed with a plan in my mind."Haaaaa, what the...it's fucking locked, shit" I cursed as I insulted my bad luck, the door was fucking locked and the zombie was approaching."Is this where it all ends, I guess I'm not the main character after all" I laughed as I stared at the approaching zombie but as I did, from the far end, I could see the faint outline of a human figure running towards me."Ha, a zombie decided to join the party" I chuckled at my shit luck as the first zombie came into full view and I was shocked by what I saw."A spider zombie.." I muttered in shock as I stared at the figure which had paused in front of me, it had a torso of a human zombie but from the waist downwards, was that of a spider, no wonder it was so nimble I thought."Should I kill myself with the remaining bullet, hmm, wait my parents, I can't die here, I haven't said goodbye to my brother and parents, no I refuse to perish here" I shouted as I got up and as I did, I saw a familiar figure running towards me."Rash?..." I asked as I tried to identify the figure but at that moment I immediately ducked to the side as where I was previously standing became filled with the green goo."Dominic the container, it's gasoline" Rash screamed as he threw a red container towards the spider which turned it's head to Rash who paused quickly."Wait, spider, gasoline, Rash you're a genius" I said with a grin as I raised the gun and aimed at the spider which also turned to my location as I aimed and fired a bullet at the zombie who dodged nimbly."Dominic here" Rash shouted as he threw the container towards the spider and dodged as green goo sprayed on the ground."Shit I've only got this one shot, I better not fuck this up" I said as I aimed at the container and fired, I watched as the bullet approached the container.A smile crossed my face but disappeared instantly as I watched a white silky substance attach itself to the container and drag it towards the spider which made the bullet miss it's target."Fuck it's over' Was what I thought but then something shocking happened, the bullet struck a metallic compartment which deflected it and caused a change in it's direction.BOOMThe bullet shot to the container and struck immediately causing the spider to be engulfed by flames.RoarrrThe spider roared in anger and pain as it struggled to fend off the flames which scorched its skin and continued to inflict burn on its body until it shot out a spray of it's gooish liquid onto the ground which created a large hole which it escaped from."Whew that was so close" I said with ragged breathes as l remembered how close I was to getting killed again while barely escaping with my life."Hey you okay?" Rash said as he walked up to me while staring at the hole in the ground."Yeah thanks for saving my life" I said with gratitude as he helped me up."It's nothing, we're even now, but why do you look like that?" Rash asked as he stared at my frown."I don't know if it's just the adrenaline but the human part of the spider looked familiar, it's probably nothing though" I said with a shrug as I brushed it off."Okay so now what? " Rash asked which made me think, I hadn't really thought of the it but now i needed to, it seemed that the top priority was to get out of this ho
Somewhere in the hospital, two figures could be seen sneaking down a dark staircase, they walked slowly and soon reached the end which was a door, the one in the lead peeped through the door then placed his hand on the doorknob but just as he was about to open it, he suddenly paused then turned around."Could you please stop breathing so deeply behind my neck, it's annoying" I said with annoyance."What are you talking about, I ain't doing nothing" Rash replied with a frown."Yes you are, I can't even concentrate with your hot breath against my neck" I said."Okay okay, I'm sorry" Rash said with a raise of his hand."Good, now lets go" I grinned as I twisted the doorknob and opened the door slowly as I stepped into two doorways with plenty doors, one on the left and one on the right, and luckily this floor had light but the far end had its light off."Okay so now where do we go?" I asked as I took out the map and stepped under the light to see clearly."So we're here so we just...um R
RawrA lone zombie staggered through an empty hallway aimlessly, one arm was missing and it's legs had chunks missing, as it was walking, it suddenly heard a noise behind it so it turned around in agitation and roared, but nothing was in sight, it stared around for some time then turned around and left, after some time when the zombie was out of sight, a vent in the wall suddenly opened as a figure dropped down then helped two other figures down before the last figure got down himself."You almost got us into trouble again" I scolded Rash who glared at me."Hey it was a mistake okay, keep your voice down" Rash said as we sneaked through the hallway."In here" I whispered as I opened up a door that read storage, I got in first before scouting the interior for any enemy, the room was fairly large and it had several boxes containing medications and other items."Help me move this" I said to Rash as we carried a shelf to block off the door."Damn my arm" Rash said with fatigue as he dropp
"Come on, Tasha, yankey gulf lima, Christina, Yankey gulf romeo" Rash whispered as we quietly walked out of the room."Could you speak English please" Tasha said sarcastically."He means you go left and Christina you go right" I explained as I patted Rash's shoulder, we then walked over to the vending machine."So what do we do now?" I asked as I saw Rash crouching next to it."I've got this, just watch and learn" Rash smirked as I watched him get to work on hacking the vending machine expertely."Wow that's cool" I said with admiration as I watched snacks flood out of the vending machine."It's no biggy" Rash replied proudly."But you seem strangely good at this" I said suspiciously."I've had practice" Rash said with a shrug."Okayyyy that's totally normal" I muttered as we steffed he snacks into our backpacks."Shut it you racist bitch" Rash said with a smirk as I chuckled."Okay we're done, let's go" I said as I grabbed my axe and motioned for Tasha to come over."So now we know t
"Hey bitch get away from me" Rash muttered to the man who was standing next to him slowly rubbing his arm against his, they were in a prison cell."Hey watch your mouth kid" The man said gruffly as he glared at Rash."Or what?, huh, what are you going to do if I don't" Rash said with a frown, he was already pissed off that he was in jail because of a douche and he didn't need another asshole adding to his problems."Oh you think you're strong big guy" The man said as he motioned for some guys to come over."What do you think now asshole, apologize and maybe I'll consider letting you go" The man said with a grin as two other guys walked over."Wanna know what I think, Spit" Rash said as he spat at the man's feet."Little…" Before he could finish talking, the man suddenly felt a strong punch connect with his nose as he was thrown to the ground, blood flowing out of his nose."You're dead kid" The guy who was called over rushed towards Rash with the other guy as he threw a punch."Bring
I waved the axe at a tentacle which was approaching me as we raced through the empty and quiet hallway, all the way I was still trying to get the angle on the shadow, where were all the zombies, were they hiding somewhere waiting to ambush us, all these questions swirled in my head amidst escaping the onslaught of the eyeless reaper who was hell bent on chasing us or specifically me."I think I'm it's target" I voiced as I dodged another tentacle while blocking several more."What are you talking about?" Rash asked with fatigue as he also played donkey Kong with the tentacles, the girls were in front of us and we were behind so that we could protect them."It seems to be focused on me so the best course of action would be to separate, you guys go left and I'll lure it away and meet u with you guys later" I quickly formulated a plan."No we aren't doing that again" Rash refused outwardly, he remembered how I had almost died at the hands of the spider."But that's the only option now" I
"But there's no place to go" Tasha said after hearing my words."There is.." I said as I pointed at the hole in the ground that was big enough for us to fit through."Fuck I'm not going through…" Rash was talking when he swallowed the rest of the words as he watched me jump through the hole, seconds later I yelled for them to come down quickly."Shit" Rash screamed as he jumped through the hole, I caught him and placed him onto the ground then caught Christina before finally catching Tasha after which I quickly dragged a large cabinet with difficulty until it was under the hole and sealed it off.RAWRRRAWRRImmediately I sealed the hole, we heard the roars of the zombies above us trying to claw their way to us, I grabbed my arm which was aching more as I stared at the others who were watching me suspiciously, I knew what they were thinking at this moment, how was I able to hear the zombies from far away."Okay I know you guys are suspicious but we aren't safe anywhere and with Rash'
"Come on" I whispered as he crept through the silent hallway while supporting Rash whose leg had started purple veins spreading from his injury, the two girls also crept behind them as they followed a trail made by the axe of the reaper."The trail ends up ahead, whoo this is it" I whispered as he took a deep breath while thinking of the dangerous task ahead, he had planned to confront the reaper using his identity as his creator to try to persuade it to help them, at first the idea was discarded as a suicide mission by the others but after being persuaded by I, they unwillingly accepted it."I still think this is a bad idea" Rash frowned as he said to me who sighed as he glanced at his leg."We don't have a choice and besides it's the only one who can heal your leg, if not then we'll have to cut off your leg and I'm sure you wouldn't like that so we'll just have to stake everything on the fact that we have a common enemy, I mean the enemy of my enemy is my friend" I said as he tried
"Who are you? I've never heard of someone as strong as you?" A voice woke me up from whatever state I was in, I recognized the voice as that of Lex."Who I am is not of importance right now, what you should be worried about is what I'm about to do to you" A voice strikingly similar to mine also replied making me flinch, the nostalgia hitting me like a wet sponge."Isn't that my voice?" I asked myself as I opened my eyes to find myself on a bloody battlefield which I recognized instantly."You're more of a monster than I am, what are you?" Lex asked in fear while looking at all the zombie bodies scattered across the ground, torn limb from limb, heads and entrails scattered across the battlefield.'What is this? A memory?' I thought to myself wondering what was happening, if this was a past event, the only way I could be seeing it again is through memories.Thinking about what Lex said, I had to agree with him on that, I was a monster, I had singlehandedly decimated Lex's entire horde,
[Half A Year Ago]"Ratata" The brutal sound of a machine gun being sprayed around echoed through the once-still night."Rawrr" Flocks of zombies growled, as they rushed toward the middle-aged Mark who with a desperate expression, continuously sprayed his bullets onto the approaching zombies."How did it come to this? I can't fight them all, is this where my life ends?" Mark said to himself in fear, with the number of zombies he could see, there was no way he could fight them all off, it was impossible, his clip was almost empty, and with just a few bullets left, he decided to fight to the death."Ratata—Click, click" Seconds later, the sound of the empty clip struck Mark's ears making him freeze up for a split second, before he quickly threw the gun onto the nearby zombies and took off, hoping to find shelter around.Before he could get far, a zombie suddenly leaped onto him from one of the nearby houses."RAWRRR" The zombie growled, sinking its teeth into his left arm and causing him
"Let's test him out" I breathed out and tossed the card into the air, with a burst of light, the figure of Lex appeared before me."You called Master" Lex said respectfully."Finally, another trump card in my arsenal" I sighed while passing my hand through my hair, I slowly drifted into my thoughts."Wait what happened? Hey what did you do to me" Lex's angry voice broke me out of my thoughts."Huh? Well that's a first" I remarked, marveling at the scene which was unfolding before me, this was the first time that a beast I had tamed was acting on their own instinct."Hmm, okay let's see, raise your hands" I decided to test out something, so I gave a command to Lex."What, I'm not gonna raise my hands" Lex scoffed at my words but the next moment, he found his hands up, he tried to pull them down but they seemed to have a mind of their own."Hey, what is this? Release me from this spell this instant" Lex raged with his hands still up."Hmm, Interesting, so he has a mind of his own but ul
"Creak" The rusty door of the partly dilapidated apartment gave a tired squeal that signalled that it had reached the end of its life, as it was pushed open by a group of Three. The group consisted of a female and two males."Are you sure it's here?" The blonde female asked with a frown as she walked into the dusty apartment, she seemed to be in her early 20's."I'm sure it's here, I'm positive" The younger male who shared a striking similarity to the female replied with a confident smile."Doesn't seem like it, this place looks like it housed a whole generation of spiders" The last male added, his eyes hinting at the spiderwebs littered across the whole house."It was a spider's nest, but all the Spiders were already dead when I arrived, so at that times, I curiously explored the rest of the house in hopes of picking up some loot and that was when i found this" The Younger youth recounted while leading the rest deeper into the house until they ended up at the basement."What's written
“Dominic, are you okay?” Cristina asked in worry. “Christina, I’m infected” I replied, the realization shocking myself. “Rawwr—“ A Zombie leaped up behind me attempting to bite me but was quickly silenced. BANG “What are you guys doing here, let’s go, are you okay?” Rash asked approaching us with the others, he was the one who had saved me, I had previously told them to stay stationed at the entrance to the elevator and leave if I did not come back in a minute. “We’re fine” I replied quickly hiding the arm that was bitten, I turned to Christina and gave her a sigh to not say anything as we followed the others. “Damn these damn zombies are back again” Brad said shooting down the zombies that approached us on our way to the elevator, we ran dodging most zombies and before long arrived at the elevator. “Go in, I’ll hold them off” I said to the others since I was the only one with some ammunition left. “Okay, quick let’s go” Logan said to the others as they all entered, I glanced a
“Woah that was cool” Rash said staring at the frozen zombies.“Are they all dead?” Tess asked poking the head of a nearby zombie but getting no reaction from it, it was like their brain went offline and they just forgot what they were doing.“Not dead, just stunned for a few minutes, enough to let us get out of here, let’s go” I replied grabbing Christina as we prepared to leave.“Wait, I have to get something inside quick, you guys take the lead, I’m right behind you” Christina said quickly, suddenly remembering that she had left something in the supply room.“Okay but be quick, let’s go” I nodded to her then turned to the others who followed behind as we headed toward where the others in the base had gone.“Hey, are you guys okay? We heard the roar” Damien and the other appeared from the corner stunning us.“Where were you guys? We almost died and you’re here asking if we’re okay” Rash replied with a frown, his eyebrows furrowed.“As you can also see, we were also preoccupied with o
“Hello Dominic, I waited for this moment for such a long time” Garen said with a smile, his appearance exactly how I had seen in the memories, how was he even here, due to all that I had heard about him, and his legend that was passed down, I felt pressured by his presence.“Wait, are you real or some illusion created by the mark” I asked curiously, my mind skeptical about Garen who had passed away so long ago being here.“As the first Wielder of the mark, a bit of my essence is infused into the mark, although this is the best I can do” Garen replied walking over to me before placing his hands on my shoulder.“I’m proud of you Dominic, I just want you to know that” Garen said to me with a smile which caused me to freeze in shock, my emotions thrown into confusion at the words I heard.“Even after all that I did?” I asked in surprise, I had expected a totally different reaction from him, I had expected him to say that I was a bad successor and that he wished I had never touched the mar
“What are you still waiting for Tina, we’re getting chewed out there” Rash said storming into the supply room where Christina could be seen with her hands on my temple glowing slightly.“I’m trying my best but he seems to be resisting, it’s strange” Christina replied with her eyes closed and her eyebrows furrowed.“Yeah no kidding, can you quicken your pace, we can’t hold them off forever” Rash said, gunshots and yells echoing from outside, they were at their wit's end and there was nothing that they could do, Damien and the others were nowhere to be found, it was only common sense that they were entangled with their troubles.“I’m also at my wits end here, I can’t seem to get through to him” Christina said in frustration.“We can only hold them off for a few more minutes, oh and um Tina” Rash said and turned around to leave then paused.“Yeah, what is it?” Christina asked starting to feel pissed off at Rash.“We’re all counting on you, I’m sorry for being hard on you, when we’re fina
“You scheming litt—Ah, fuck” Ben said in anger after spotting Crixis who maintained a grin on his face.“Okay, I know you guys are pissed and all but let me just clarify, I had no idea of Katergaris’s plan, so it wasn’t my fault that you got played, I just suggested something to you guys and you followed it” Crixis said trying to defend yourself.“So what are you here for?” Damien asked coldly.“Well the boss instructed me to come over here and capture all of you so I can’t say no to my boss now can I?” Katergaris replied with a menacing expression.“So you’re here to capture us huh, well I doubt that would be possible, we’re not going without a fight, in fact, we’re a little agitated and needed a little punching bag, good thing you brought yourselves to us” Damien pulled his hair backwards to reveal a vengeful expression.“Hahahahaha, that’s what I like about you Damien, always ready to fight” Katergaris chuckled while stretching his body.“Let’s go all-out guys, call it justice for
