Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 17: Emotionless
Stomping down on the reverse accelerator, the car began to move. Maverick didn’t bother avoiding the corpses strewn across the garage floor. Instead, the tires crushed them with a sickening crunch, leaving black blood, flesh, and brain fluid smeared across the ground. Unperturbed, the car rolled out of the garage and into the open.The loud roar of the engine immediately drew the attention of several zombies, but before they could reach him, the car had already sped off. The few zombies in his path were no match for the Mercedes’ frame as he plowed through them without hesitation. However, as Maverick reached the main road, the scene before him starkly contrasted with the memories in his mind.The once-smooth, stone-paved road was now unrecognizable. It was riddled with deep cracks and massive potholes, as though it had been struck by relentless earthquakes. The air around the road shimmered with intense heat, making it feel like the flames that once consumed the asphalt had only rece
Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 18: Back To Second Floor
Her foot caught on a jagged stone, and she went down hard, a scream escaping her lips as she hit the ground. The zombies descended on her like wolves on a lamb. Their bony fingers tore into her flesh as their jagged teeth sank into her body. Her screams of agony rang out, a chilling symphony of pain and despair.Through the chaos, her tear-streaked face turned toward Maverick. Her eyes, wide with terror and desperation, seemed to plead with him for help. But all she received was a cold, emotionless stare.Maverick had no time for guilt or sympathy. He was already occupied, cleaving another zombie’s head with a single powerful swing of his axe. As another lunged at him, he spun, delivering a brutal kick that sent the creature crashing into its companions. Without missing a beat, he grabbed the nearest one by the neck, slamming its head into the wall with enough force to crush its skull. Blood and chunks of bone splattered against the concrete.The girl’s screams began to fade, replaced
Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 19: Ranking
Max, meanwhile, was a bit taken aback and almost mistook Maverick for a zombie. But upon noticing the towel covering Maverick’s face and his calm expression, Max relaxed.“Max, why are you quiet? Is something wrong?” a voice called from behind the door he had just exited.“No problem here. I spotted a human and almost mistook him for a zombie,” Max replied, his voice calm and posture steady. “You guys stay put. Wait for me to clean up the zombies here, and we’ll head to the next floor.”Finally, he looked at Maverick, pointed at three zombies close to him, then at Maverick, and then gestured to the five zombies near himself.Maverick instantly understood his words—or rather, his signs. Max was asking him to take care of the three zombies near him while Max handled the five closer to himself.Seeing this, Maverick nodded calmly, which seemed to relieve Max.Without hesitation, Max pulled out a long sword from his waist, dashed toward the first zombie, and swung it at its neck, slicing
Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 20: Terrifying Mutant
"Interesting," Maverick muttered. While he didn’t fully grasp all the scientific jargon the man had used, the basic concept intrigued him. It hadn’t even been a day since the apocalypse began, yet humans in this world had already managed to devise a ranking system for the zombies' power levels!This development felt suspicious, almost as if it had been premeditated by someone behind the scenes.Turning his attention back to the handsome man in front of him, Maverick asked, “What does this have to do with me not going outside?”Max’s expression turned grim as he replied, “Someone spotted a Gamma-3 zombie outside.”Hearing this, Maverick’s expression hardened. “Gamma-3? How strong is it?”“That…” Max hesitated, his face twisted in a mix of unease and contemplation, before finally speaking. “I think it could take down ten of me at once.”Maverick's eyes narrowed, his tone skeptical. “That’s impossible, and you know it. It takes us several kills just to level up, thanks to the biolens tra
Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 21: Joining Up
Most of the people were either younglings or elderly men. Maverick couldn't help but frown. Wouldn't it have been better to just leave them to their deaths? Carrying such a load of unhelpful people would only slow Max down. Not only that, but Max would have to fight while protecting them, which, to Maverick, was a complete waste of time.“Okay, guys, this here is Maverick. I stumbled upon him while clearing up the zombies," Max introduced him.But no one replied. The only sounds echoing were the sobs of some women and the moody silence of the men. Reality was sinking in, and perhaps some of them were already reflecting on how their loved ones hadn’t made it this far.Then, a man from the group stood up. He was dressed in a suit, his chubby face glistening with sweat. He approached Max, throwing a quick glance at Maverick before saying, “Max, why did you bring someone in? Don’t you know too many people means too many zombies on our tails? We need to minimize our numbers, not add more t
Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 22: 40th Floor
20 Minutes Later“Alright, we’ve rested long enough for everyone to regain some energy. Let’s keep moving up,” Max announced firmly.No one complained as they stood up and continued climbing. They reached the 21st floor, then the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th, surprised to find no zombies on the stairs or in any of the rooms. The lack of threats made the group subconsciously relax. Some of the ordinary humans even began murmuring among themselves. As the saying goes, a drop of black ink spoils the white, and the murmuring grew louder and louder until Maverick couldn’t help but frown.Seeing Maverick’s displeasure, Max immediately understood his irritation. Just as Max was about to order the group to keep quiet, a loud banging sound erupted from a door beside them as they reached the 26th floor. The sudden noise froze everyone in place, silencing them instantly.Terror gripped the group as the banging continued, growing louder and more insistent, as though it had attracted more zombies to join
Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 23: New Weapons
Seeing this, Max’s eyes lit up with happiness. He looked at Maverick with genuine gratitude and said, “An all-access key! You’ve been a huge help this time, and I’m sure the others will be grateful too. With this key, everyone can have their own rooms, keeping them apart and reducing the chances of conflict.”Twenty-five or twenty-six agitated people crammed into one room was a nightmare scenario Max could already foresee turning into chaos if left unchecked.With the key in hand, the two of them spent the next thirty minutes systematically clearing each room. They encountered a total of ten zombies, dispatching them easily. Since the zombies weren’t in large numbers, the task proved manageable for the duo.Finally, with all the zombies cleared, Max went downstairs to address the group of people who were waiting anxiously. Their faces carried a mixture of hope and fear as they waited for news.“The floor is clear now. You can all come up,” Max announced calmly, watching their expressi
Second Coming Of A Villain Chapter 24: Grinding Zombies For Points
“What a sad fate. Humans can never go against destiny, no matter the amount of preparation—except with true power. If only I had the absolute power of greed in my previous life, it would’ve been so much easier to kill that annoying Bruce Chen,” Maverick thought, sighing as he strapped the flying swords to his waist.With weapons in hand, Maverick immediately began devising a plan to grind the zombies. He needed to kill them in large numbers without drawing too much attention; otherwise, a swarm could overwhelm him and slow his progress. The aftermath of the nuclear explosion filled the air with a hazy fog, no doubt caused by radioactive particles."I forgot to collect a better mask," Maverick muttered, slapping his forehead. His impatience to increase his power had made him overlook this crucial detail.“Biolens, is there a way to become immune to the radiation in the air?” he asked, finally remembering the AI embedded in his consciousness. Its robotic, feminine voice responded instan

Chapter 88: Outside
The heavy boots of the group echoed against the cracked marble floors as they descended the final steps of the skyscraper, ignoring the bodies around them, moving from the 44th floor down to the ruined streets of New York. The air outside was thick with a yellowish fog, swirling like ghostly tendrils with each wind through the husk remains of the city.Meanwhile, each of them was clad in a tactical gas mask, the glass lenses reflecting the dim sun filtering through the overcast sky. Their black bulletproof vests fit snugly over their torsos, rifles slung over their hands, pistols holstered at their sides, military bags strapped tight on their back, and jackknives secured for quick access.Maverick killed over 17 of the military members and was able to take all their weapons and grenades so knowing fully well he only have five stronger members, actually, six since he was able to discover Sakura whom after discovering that her members were dead didn't have any hesitation to join his gro
Chapter 87: Goodbye Grandpa and Grandma Wu
"Are these all the people who want to leave with us?" Maverick asked, his eyes sweeping over the seven standing before him—a young woman and a man who seemed like lovers or relatives, a middle-aged man, three young women, and two other men.It was a decent number. Maverick didn’t want to take on too much baggage.His gaze shifted to the fourteen people who had chosen to stay behind. Without a word, he looked at Max and gave a small nod before stepping back.Understanding Maverick’s unspoken command—letting him speak since the group feared Maverick rather than respected him—Max stepped forward, cleared his throat, and addressed the crowd.“We’re leaving, but we’re not taking much of the food. It’s still where it was, and we even unlocked the door. You’ll have to decide how to split it amongst yourselves."But before we go, this is my final question—are you sure you don’t want to come with us? You’re safe for now, but no one knows what kinds of beasts will attack in the future. This dec
Chapter 86: The Day the World Ended
1st POV:I remember the morning so clearly, as if it happened just moments ago. I was in the driver’s seat, hands gripping the steering wheel, humming a soft tune as my boys sat in the backseat, arguing over which cartoon was better. I told them to quiet down, that I had surgery later today and needed a clear head. They groaned in unison, calling me boring. I remember smiling, watching them through the rearview mirror—two little sparks of life, my entire world.Then, the sky erupted.A blinding light swallowed the road ahead, a wave of heat tearing through the world like an angry god had decided to erase us. The ground trembled, glass shattered, and the sound—God, the sound—was unlike anything I had ever heard. My ears rang as metal twisted and screeched. The car flipped. My body slammed against the seatbelt. Darkness consumed me.When I woke up, I was on the ground, dust and smoke filling my lungs. My head pounded, my vision blurred, but through it all, I could hear my boys crying. M

So far, he hadn’t encountered a threat capable of pushing him to the brink of death, which was why he hadn’t used his energy points to upgrade any of his stats yet. However, due to activating Armor Skin and Akuma no Shita, he had already expended about five energy points in total.“Biolens, how come my vitality is at
Chapter 84: Dorian & Killer Shot: A Bitter Meeting
While Maverick lay unconscious on the ground inside the underground lab side, Dorian who Maverick thought will die the moment he stepped out staggered through the ruined cityscape, his left arm clutching his bleeding side. The air was thick with radiation, making his breaths feel like he was inhaling fire due to how weak he currently was. Burnt-out cars lined the cracked road, their husks melted and twisted, remnants of the world before the apocalypse. GrrrrrrrrrrThe occasional zombie groaned echoes in in the distance, dragging itself through the rubble, sniffing for the scent of flesh to devour.One of them—a shriveled, half-melted thing—lunged at Dorian with a sickening hiss. Seeing this, a glint flash through Dorian's eyes as a knife flashed, slicing through its throat. It gurgled, collapsing, only for another to crawl out from under a wrecked truck. Dorian didn’t waste time. He stomped on its skull, twisting his boot until the head caved in like rotten fruit.“Fucking pesky anim
Chapter 83: Maverick injecting the nanocells
Maverick thought inwardly, imagining how the system will sound if he open it logically.With a sharp click, the latches disengaged.Maverick barely had time to react before an icy fog erupted from the opening seam, spilling out in thick waves. Instinctively —he shoved himself backward, one hand reaching for his gun as he eyed the mist warily fearing it will be a poisonous fog. His breath slowed down visibly in the sudden temperature drop, the frost creeping over the edges of the case.For a tense moment, nothing happened.Then, as quickly as it had appeared, the fog began to dissipate, revealing the contents inside.The interior of the case was pristine white, lined with soft, impact-absorbing foam that molded around a single object at its center—a sealed tube, roughly eight inches tall and four inches wide. The material was reinforced glass, its surface covered in a thin layer of condensation.Inside the tube, a shimmering, light-blue liquid sloshed gently, moving almost unnaturally,
Chapter 82: Killing, Dorian Escaped.
“Thanks, Captain, for launching me across the place to take the briefcase. Now, I guess this is where we say goodbye, and one of us departs to the realm of the dead? No?”Maverick’s words hung in the air, but Dorian wasn’t listening. Not really. His breathing was ragged, his fists clenched so tightly his knuckles cracked. His eyes burned—not just from the flames licking at his skin but from the seething fury that boiled beneath the surface."You think this is over?" Dorian growled, blood dripping from his clenched teeth. "You think you've won?"Maverick tilted his head, unimpressed. "I mean… yeah? I’ve got the briefcase, you’re bleeding like a gutted pig from maybe seemingly over using of your flame power, and you’re about to die from my gun. Pretty clear-cut, don’t you think?"Dorian ignored him. "You will regret this. Whatever’s in that briefcase—it won’t save you, rather it will bring more chaos to your life. You don’t know who you’re messing with. The moment you step outside with
Chapter 81: Thanks, Captain
Maverick exhaled, rolling his shoulders as he eyed Dorian with that same indifferent gaze—like a man sizing up a particularly unimpressive meal. Dorian, on the other hand, was all heat and fire, his smirk thinning as he took a slow step forward, flames licking at his knuckles."You look tense, Captain," Maverick mused, dodging a jab without even looking. "Maybe it’s the stress of command. Maybe it’s the unresolved childhood trauma. Or maybe it’s just because you're used to throwing punches at people who can’t hit back."Dorian’s eye twitched, but he didn't respond. He knew Maverick was just trying to get under his nerves which he wouldn't allow.Another flaming fist cut through the air. Maverick leaned back, dodging by mere inches, his movements infuriatingly lazy."You always this sloppy?" Maverick muttered. "I mean, for someone who calls himself a captain, you swing like an amateur. Who trained you? Drunk chimps? I bet if you have a child, the child will be much slower."Dorian grow
Chapter 80: Breaking his words (Warrior VS Soldier)
Technically, for the Captain to be able to ignite fire using his hands or body is something no one will ever believe in the past era, after all, humans, infact, living things weren't engineered to do such thing but here he is with fire burning from his arms and legs. For such a thing to happen, it begins with a shift deep within his cellular structure, a silent, invisible transformation. His body had developed an extraordinary ability to absorb and harness radiation—particularly, high-frequency electromagnetic radiation, like gamma rays the moment he absorbed a certain fire related beast core. This wasn't just a fluke mutation; it was the result of an intricate biological adaptation. The cells, rather than breaking down under the stress of radiation exposure, began to store the energy in a specialized organelle, a modified version of mitochondria that was now a fusion of bio-organic material and quantum-activated nanomatter, main reason he doesn't care about wearing mask. As these
