All the laughter and the mockery from Zeus against his mother played in his head.Drake thought about how Zeus spoke about enjoying killing his mother, which made him more furious in his pursuit.Zeus was now far away from NCST, running and tripping over himself towards the terraced mountain. The mountain stood over the edge of a cliff, but it was the only place he could turn to.Suddenly, he climbed up quickly and was about to climb down the cliff but gasped when he saw a horde of

Drake repeated, frustration taking over.BEEP![WELCOME BACK DRAKE MILLER]The male robotic voice in charge of the arsenal came up."I'm trying to access my arsenal; why aren't you responding?" Drake said."AIR-X," Drake said again.[WRONG INPUT!]"What?! That is my freaking password; what's happening?"[The Record Says You Changed Your Password 30 Mins Ago.]The voice said, and Drake's heart pumped faster."What?! No, I didn't change my password. I was at the safezone at that time," Drake said, his eyes burning in confusion."AIR-X!" Drake said.[WRONG INPUT!]It dawned on Drake what was happening."Luke, he... he must have overheard me," Drake murmured."He changed my password."Drake's eyes burned in anger.[ PRESENT DAY ]DAY 7 OF APOCALYPSE [ NCST ][8:00 PM]“It’s been 4 days ever since you defeated Zeus, but I still cannot believe it,” Aiko said from where she sat on the iron box at center NSCT Facility.Drake was pacing as she sp
"Ahhhh!" Drake screamed as he flew from the rooftop, pushed down by the bullet he received in his chest."Drake!" Aiko shouted as she witnessed him falling a great distance, hitting the bottom floor of the NCST tower after colliding with several heavy objects along the way.Aiko quickly turned around to see a middle-aged man in regular clothes, holding a Henry Big Boy rifle chambered in .44 Magnum."Hello, dear friend!" the middle-aged man, who appeared to be a psycho, said, his hair matted and pointing in different directions."My name is Luke. I have a little business with your friend, Drake Miller!" Luke said.It was Luke, the same guy who changed the password to Drake’s arsenal and ran away. He was back, but this time, he wasn’t alone. He had a gang, all of them seemed to be regular humans with no enhancements but with sophisticated weapons—a rival faction."I don’t think you know him really well, because it seems you are afraid and think that he is going to die that easily after

Drake slid down the cliff until he hit the bottom, and then he was all stained with mud as he ran as fast as he could. At the edge stood the mutated dog and one of Luke’s men who mounted it. He kept watch, observing how Drake was running."Let’s see how you make it out of that swamp alive. He is either going to be turned by the zombies inhabiting that swamp, or he is going to get eaten up by them," the one that mounted the mutated dog said."Well, it is going to be a loss for us because we won’t get all the information we wanted from him," he murmured as he watched Drake’s figure vanish into the dangerous swamp hidden in the night.As he remained there, staring into the night, he heard Luke’s voice from behind him."Where is he?" Luke asked, joining h
Drake's eyes slowly closed as he began to drift into his subconscious state. [Hang On, Host!] [You Could Use The Radar To Your Advantage. Kill Four More To Get On The Radar.] [If You Can Get The Beasts Here, You Can Kill Two Birds With One Stone!] "Two Birds with One Stone?" Drake murmured, his eyes closed, the Zombies struggling to tear at his flesh. "Yes, the beasts could help me kill the remaining 3 zombies," Drake muttered faintly. "I could use one of the beasts to my advantage to take me out of here by riding it the way Luke's follower did," Drake said. Scratch! Scratch! Bite! The zombies continued with the assaults, but then, they still had not depleted his all his body shields. "And then, I could find a way to kill the beasts and gain a little energy," Drake added, his eyes opening up. "Three birds, not two!" Drake's eyes shone as he mustered all the courage and the little strength in him. Drake grabbed onto the tree root with every ounce of strength he had left. S
[DAY 7 OF THE APOCALYPSE]Drake’s eyes shone brightly as he considered his next move. He quickly thought of a way to turn the tables and use this situation to his advantage.He swiftly got up on his feet and surveyed the mighty rock top he was standing on.Growl!The cats were climbing, extremely huge, and just one hop could take them far up the length of the mountain.Drake’s heart thundered as they approached. While searching for a way out, his eyes met the tinier rocks at the top of the rock he stood on.“The rocks!” Drake exclaimed as the idea struck his head.With that thought, Drake got off the edge of the rock and began to roll other rocks down the mountain, aiming at the climbing cats.Crash!Crash!One after the other, Drake killed the mutated cats, now lying in ruin from the rocks. The same fate befell the dogs, but some of them ran off when they saw the rocks rolling down.“Phew!” Drake sighed as he fell on his knees, losing his breath gradually.The rain had stopped fallin
Gasp!Drake's eyes met the moon as he gasped out loud, his wounds healing up even before he could sit up.His body was still weak, and unlike every other part of his body that mended, the hunger and thirst were still there. But the damage it caused in his intestines was healed as well."What the hell??" the giant man exclaimed in utter confusion as he dropped the fish he was eating and turned fully to Drake after hearing his gasp."You're... What the hell are you?!" He said as he quickly got up and grabbed at the sledgehammer again."Well, I don't care what you are; I'm going to kill you again, and you're going to stay dead this time," the giant said.He rushed towards Drake with the sledgehammer in the air above his head.Drake, who was now a little stronger, rolled out of the way. The hammer crashed on the rock."Ahhhh!"The giant man screamed as he hit the rock with the hammer, and it sprung out of his hands."Shit!" He cursed underneath his breath as he turned around again to face
"What do you want?!" Drake screamed after being tossed into the pit and breaking his leg.Shadrach and Drew stood over the pit, staring at him, anger spreading across their faces."We want to end you," Shadrach said through clenched teeth."And then, we can take the assembled core," Drew added.Drake wasn't sure what was happening; he had already taken the task and completed half of it."Take the core?" Drake asked, shocked. "You said you saw me assembling the core. It's already assembled. What else would you gain by robbing me of it?" Drake asked.They both laughed hard as they gripped their shovels, ready to start tossing sand into the pit."Well, look at me, man... If you're dead and you can't finish the task, the system is going to allocate it to someone else," Drew said, joy filling his eyes."If we have the core, one of our systems might pick up the task and assign it to one of us," Shadrach said.Drake's heart pounded with both rage and fear of what would happen. His leg was br
