Akim's p.o.v It was a calm evening as I drove through the busy expressway while listening to my favorite jam, "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone; reaching my favorite part of the song, I brought out a small box and opened it with my free hand while my right hand was still on the stirring wheel. I had a big grin on my face as I brought up the ring from its box and admired its golden décor… a diamond crested ring worth $10,000, very expensive, even with my work as a military medical aid risking my life on the job when it requires us to be close to the war zones, you’ll be thinking of course the pay would be handsome… but that was not the case at all, the pay was still pretty much average if you ask me. ‘I’ve saved up a little bit to get this ring to finally propose to my love, Alice.’‘I know I haven’t been that around lately due to my work, but I can’t help it… I needed the extra work and shift for double my pay to afford the kind of life she would want.’ I thought with a heavy hear
Akim's pov "Lima?" Jake gasped looking around for her before running in the direction of the sound. That definitely sounded like Lima, wasn't she here? I looked back and saw that not only her was missing but Mr Aiden too. "You guys go check what's going on, we'll handle things here" Richard yelled I looked over to one of the men and he nodded at me, gesturing he would take charge of things here. I nodded and quickly followed after Jake. I then caught up to Jake as we were running, I noticed we were heading towards the frozen treat section; maybe Lima had come here with Mr. Aiden, and they got attacked, but is there a way zombies could have gotten in? "Don't worry Jake, I'm sure your dad is keeping her safe, so I'm sure everything is fine" I assured him When we got there, I saw Mr. Aiden pushed Lima towards a zombie and was about to turn and start running when he saw us stopping him in his tracks. I could see his face go pale in fear; he was as shocked as we were; we j
Akim's pov "M-my dad was the one who pushed my mom to the zombie," said Jake.What? That can't be true, there's no way Mr Aiden would do something like that. Didn't he love his family? Were they in a fight or something?" We got chased into the store by a zombie, my dad tried to fight it off while we got deeper into the store. But the zombie kept getting up, no matter how much my dad hit it with his bat; my mum hid us at the back of a small table. I watched as my dad grabbed my mom and pushed her towards the zombie, but she hit a shelf and it fell on her. My dad just stood there watching and didn't help her up then the zombie got her. " Jake explained.I couldn't believe what I was hearing, what could she have done? Was it a deliberate act? The kid definitely didn't see anything wrong with him explaining it. I felt so mad, and I was going to go confront him when I heard several gunshots and screams jolting me up. I looked by my side; the shotgun and pistol used in practicing were bot
Akim's povI stood up slowly, being careful not to wake the rest so I wouldn't cause a panic; last time I checked, it was only Mr Aiden and his family that were staying there, so I didn't think it was a human. As I approached where the noise came from, I saw two shadows, I cocked my gun, moving closer, ready to shoot anything suspicious. When I got close enough I saw that the noise came from Mr Aiden's kids having a late night snack."Hey guys, I guess you both got hungry huh?"I retracted my shotgun and kept it at my back with the strap; these kids seem to be wary of me, especially the older one; I guess it's to be expected since I killed their mother."Hey" I sat in front of them thinking of what to say; I was never great with kids, so I didn't even know what to do with them. Maybe I thought I should leave; yeah, I'm sure they are probably uncomfortable with me here. I guess I'll just leave."U-um sir, is mommy gonna go to heaven?" The little girl askedMy heart dropped when I hear
Akim's pov"What the hell?" I said with horror written on my face I couldn't understand what I was looking at, a brunette lady looking like she was in her early twenties was on the floor with a shelf on her upper body except for her head, and a zombie was at her lower half literally eating her ass, as the woman continued to scream for help but she was not looking my way but in front of her almost as if she was looking at someone as I approached cautiously I saw a man approaching the woman slowly with a metal bat, at the back of the man, there were two small kids. The man moved closer till he saw me, he stopped in his tracks shocked but I signaled he should keep quiet as I slowly moved closer when I got next to the zombie I kicked it away from the lady cocking my shotgun, the zombie got back up trying to attack me as I shot it brains out, the man fell on his knees crawling to the woman, as I moved closer to examine the zombie I found a crystal.I looked over at the man, and when I mad
Akim's pov"Hey! Why did you stop the car?" Asked Joanna" Yeah I don't see any reason you should be stopping," said Joshua" You couldn't even get anything we wanted, some driver you are," said Jonathan" Why can't you just do your job right? "Said Emma "You are supposed to be taking me to the open air field so I can get out of this hell"" You can't even do anything right, "said Richard "That's why we rich folks have to keep ordering you low class around so you would be able to do things"All right, that ticked me off as I clenched the steering wheel so tightly, trying to control myself; I am only doing this because I can get to my family faster this way, and Emma has the same name as my younger sister. These brats are so annoying that I'm starting to regret why I helped them. Phew, I just have to wait for a little while. Then I can drop these kids off and get to my family, just a little more. As I started the car the girl at the back screamed, pointing to the front of the car. As I
Akim's povI got to the gas station quickly since it was already close to the outskirts. There were very few residents in this area, so the number of zombies was far less than in the city center. However, I remained vigilant as I approached the gas station. Fortunately, I didn't encounter too many zombies on the way here, just a few zombies I saw and ran over with my Jeep. On getting to the gas station, I spotted three zombies that looked like they used to be gas station employees judging from the logo on their outfits resembling the one on the sign board. I took a shotgun I found in the jeep, then got down and got their attention cocking the shotgun; as they turned to me and started charging at me, I headshot all three of them. I looked around and found one crystal from their dead bodies then kept it inside my pocket with the rest. So far I had only gotten five in total on my way to the gas station. After dealing with three zombies that used to be gas station employees, I refueled t

The leader exclaimed"Help... Help me
Akim's p.o.vI continued to stare at the system panel in front of me with an awe look on my face, wondering what all these meant."Did I get reincarnated as a zombie slayer?" I laughed; I had just gotten an ability that could manipulate space instead of turning into a zombie. I touched the scratch on my head and winced, "is this different from a bite? Do scratches not turn one into a zombie " I thought, remembering the logic of every zombie movie I had ever seen.“… how’s all these things happening to me, is there some kind of condition I passed? " Still thinking about the possibility of the system, was I the only one? Are there others that gain abilities? Do the zombies have abilities too?."Arghhhhh," I shouted, scratching my head. "This is all so overwhelming." I started remembering all that happened that day, from the accident on the road to meeting my fiancee's affair, which made my heart ache as my mind started replaying the whole scene of her infidelity and how I could only st
Akim's p.o.v It was a calm evening as I drove through the busy expressway while listening to my favorite jam, "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone; reaching my favorite part of the song, I brought out a small box and opened it with my free hand while my right hand was still on the stirring wheel. I had a big grin on my face as I brought up the ring from its box and admired its golden décor… a diamond crested ring worth $10,000, very expensive, even with my work as a military medical aid risking my life on the job when it requires us to be close to the war zones, you’ll be thinking of course the pay would be handsome… but that was not the case at all, the pay was still pretty much average if you ask me. ‘I’ve saved up a little bit to get this ring to finally propose to my love, Alice.’‘I know I haven’t been that around lately due to my work, but I can’t help it… I needed the extra work and shift for double my pay to afford the kind of life she would want.’ I thought with a heavy hear
