From a distance, Cody watched Gwen singing while playing the piano they got from a musical instrument store. As time went by, Cody felt that the woman was getting further away from him. They rarely got together and talked like before.

Cody felt that it wasn’t because they both intentionally separated themselves. It happened because they had realized each other’s feelings.

Yes, Cody felt sad that it happened, but he felt that this was better than them having a one-way relationship. Cody was sure that Gwen was still his best friend and would continue to be with him, no matter what.

Suddenly, Freya put her arms around Cody’s neck from behind. “What are you doing, babe?”

Cody took a deep breath. “You’re still going to call me that even though I said I don’t like it, huh?”

“Well, you can always force me to do that with your torture skills.” Freya kissed Cody’s cheek.

“Of course I won’t do that...” Cody’s words stopped when he saw that everyone there was gone, except for himself and Freya.

    Cody drove without direction because he didn’t know what he was doing anymore. Unlike the illusion that Clara had done to him in the past, Cody did not know at all how to get out of this fake world.But he knew he had to get out soon. Maybe if he stayed there too long, he would forget who he was and what was really happening.Cody turned his truck into a gas station. He didn’t just want to fill up on gas, but also buy food and drinks. Even though he was in an illusion, Cody still felt hungry, thirsty and wanted to go to the bathroom.After doing his business in the toilet, Cody filled up on gas and entered the convenience store there. While he was doing those things, he found nothing strange.Everything looked and felt so real, down to the smallest detail.Cody took a burrito and mineral water and brought it to the cashier, an old man with a thin body who wore thick glasses.“Do you want to take this burrito home or are you going to eat it right away? If you want to eat it right away,

    “Birthday, huh?” Without realizing it, Cody smiled faintly. He had forgotten about it. Ever since he got the system, many things have been filling his mind.“Go home, Cody.” Helena approached Cody. “Your wife must be concerned about your well-being. Besides, your friends have taken their time to come to your house to throw a party. Without you, it would be meaningless.”Cody was about to get into the truck and continue the journey, but Helena grabbed her arm. “Please, Cody. They’re all there. They won’t go home until you get back.”Cody felt as if his heart had an explosion. “Does that include Kevin and Randy too?”Helena frowned. “Of course, they’ve been your best friends since high school, just like me. Why do you ask that, Cody? You’ve been acting really weird today.”“I’m going home,” Cody answered coldly, then got into the truck.“What do you think, Gwen?” Helena asked her little sister. “Do you still want to come?”Gwen shrugged. “It’s okay if you still want to go there, and I’l

    The women tried to save Kevin, while Cody tried to finish Randy off with Akira trying to block him.This time, they didn’t tell Cody to come to his senses, but focused on stopping that man who was getting crazier.“Argh!!!” Shawn ran to hit Cody, but he dodged.Shawn collided with Akira until both of them fell, and Randy’s attention turned to them. Cody took the opportunity to stab Randy, then pushed him against the wall.Cody wasn’t done yet. He stabbed Randy’s body several times to make sure he killed him. Randy was helpless. He also fell with his body covered in blood.With a gasp, Cody observed his three victims in turn, while the others looked at him. Cody felt something was wrong with him for doing that. What if this turned out to be reality?No. He had to get out of this illusion, no matter what. There were still many things he had to do.“Cody...” That was all that could come out of Freya’s mouth. Her face was already so wet with tears. “Please…”Police sirens echoed from a di

    A male special zombie stood near the enormous tree. A female special zombie with an enlarged stomach stood in front of him.Not long after, the special zombie’s stomach burst, releasing an embryo and blood. She then fell down.“You’re Cody, right?” Stella asked. “What the f*ck are you doing?”The special zombie looked at Stella, then her face changed to look like Cody’s.“Does Freya want to have a child?” Jane frowned. “You’re trying to emulate a real pregnancy, right?”“Basically so.” Cody controlled another female special zombie to approach him. “You saw our child in the illusion, right?”Jane rubbed her chin. “This is interesting. I didn’t expect she would be like that. She has a maternal instinct, huh?”The female special zombie’s stomach exploded again and Cody sighed hard.“You’re starting to love her, huh?” Stella asked. “You’re willing to do something stupid like that for her.”Cody looked at Stella again. “Well, I just feel sorry for her.”Cody didn’t want to admit it because

    “Sorry to say this,” Stella muttered. “But that thing looked horrendous.”Stella referred to a small airplane-like object made from special zombies and organic roots. Since he made it in a short period, Cody didn’t think about aesthetics.“Well, you look more handsome now.” Jane threw a sarcasm.Cody put on a pair of glasses on his face. He was imitating one of Jane’s children who used to be trained as humans. If he used Cody’s identity, it would be confusing. They would wonder how could Cody be in two places at the same time?“Thanks for the compliment.” Cody replied. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of Josh’s image.”After saying that, Cody boarded the airplane and piloted it to fly. He had only been testing it for a while and now he was having a hard time controlling that thing.But unfortunately, he didn’t have the luxury of time. Those people could die at any moment. That would be a shame. Moreover, Cody suspected that one of them could turn zombies into humans.With that, maybe he c

    Of course, Cody didn’t tell the truth, especially since he was now pretending to be someone else. He told a story as if he was the person Cody chose as partner to do the initial test given by Zeno.Randy also took the test and, unfortunately, died.“Is that so?” Luna shed tears. “Why didn’t Randy choose me to be his partner on the test? At least I could revive him as a zombie. Then, after a while, I would return him to being a human.”“I don’t know, but I got the impression that he didn’t want his friend to be in danger.” Cody explained. “I only met him for a short time, but he was a good person. That’s why I considered him a friend, too.”“That’s sounds like him.” Luna put on a faint smile.“I’d love to tell you more about Randy, but we have to think of a way out of here.” Cody continued. “We’ll use the plane up there. I’ll fix it. It’s very dangerous if we go through that path full of poisonous zombies.”Unfortunately, Cody could not fly to take Luna alone. The special zombies that

    Cody had already attached five zombies to his plane, and he was already at his limit. His stamina had not fully recovered, after all.He was so tired that he sat down, his breath starting to get labored.“Maybe we should postpone this for the time being.” Luna looked at Cody with a grimace. “I know you can’t take it anymore.”“No.” A bitter smile adorned Cody’s face. “I found one irregular zombie among them. While the others walked in a pattern, this particular zombie just stood in place, and would stare at every zombie I possessed.”“Oh, no.” Luna gasped. “What will you do, then?”Cody didn’t know if he would be able to put up a fight. “Like it or not, I have to fix this thing quickly.”Luna opened her mouth to argue, but she couldn’t. Cody wanted to reassure her, but he didn’t want to give her false hope.“If you believe in God, then pray for me.” Cody smirked, then possessed the last zombie.He sighed when he found the possessed zombie quite far from the emergency exit. He then gla

    “Sorry.” Cody mumbled as Luna bandaged his hand. “I couldn’t hold myself back anymore. Maybe I’ve depended too much on my system all this time that I didn’t know what to do.”Luna gave Cody the last bandage, and he flinched. Realizing that, Luna raised her eyebrows.“Are you feeling any pain?” She asked.Cody nodded. “Yeah, and the pain is getting worse as time goes by. Maybe it’s also because of the poison from the zombies.”“I see.” Luna took a breath. She seemed about to say something, but held back.“You want to know where we’re going?” Cody guessed. “Well, I haven’t told you about the community with some awakened humans and zombies. It’s on a farm. We make our own food. It’s not much, but it’s still enough.”“Awakened zombies?”Cody smiled. “Our leader, Cody Wolfe, can restore the consciousness of zombies. He’s not as good as you, who can actually turn any zombies back into humans, though.”“I see.” Luna closed her eyes. “But I hope you get some more rest before we leave, Josh. I

    Cody, now wearing the appearance of an old man with white hair, sat in his yard. Next to him was a little girl.“Why did you have to move, Mr. Wolfe?” The little girl pouted. She wouldn’t look at Cody.Cody chuckled. “I just wanted a change of scenery, Sasha. I’ve lived here for years. Maybe it’s time for me to go back to exploring the world.”“But I enjoy talking to you. Your stories are always interesting, even though sometimes I’m not sure if they’re true or not. You might make them up.”Cody laughed and stroked the little girl’s brown hair. “We can always video call each other.”“My mom said that face-to-face conversations are always better…” Sasha found her mother waving at her from the house next door.“I think it’s time for you to go home, Sasha.”Sasha got off the chair and held out her pinky finger to Cody. “But you promised to call me, right?”Cody intertwined his finger with the little girl’s and smiled again. “I promise.” After that, Sasha ran to her house while her mother

  • 187 – In the Silence of The Night

    After exchanging information about various types of diseases with his data about the special zombies, Cody went to work. He built a structure of microorganisms that could damage any type of body. He didn’t understand the body structure of beings in other dimensions, so he was on guard.But in the end, he couldn’t make something as small as bacteria. So, he preferred to make various organisms the size of dust that could release toxins from within themselves.The toxins were what would make those another dimension beings sick. Even so, Cody made sure they didn’t die. He felt he had to hold his moral high. He wasn’t certain that those beings really wanted to invade the earth. Who knows, they just wanted to do research or diplomacy.If the microorganisms multiplied and became deadly, they could wipe out the entire planet. Cody didn’t aspire to commit mass murders.But Cody and the government agreed that waiting for them to come wasn’t worth it. If it turned out that they wanted to destroy

    After that moment, whoever was in the other dimension did nothing to the spy device Cody had sent. He could only assume they didn’t know how to approach that thing yet.This was a time Cody couldn’t miss. He had to do something while that thing was still there. Because that was the only thing that allowed him to connect to the other world.If he was late, they would perform surgery or something, making the spy device unusable. He had sent some more of that thing, but he wasn’t sure if they would still keep it. They could kill them right away.Now, he was in a government room with the president, Tia and Luna as representatives of Zeno’s town, Jane from intelligence, Kevin who represented the navy, Helena from the senate, and various other government departments.They were having a secret meeting.“So, after hearing your explanation, I have come to one conclusion, Mr. Wolfe.” The president, a man with graying and thinning hair, spoke. “You are asking for more of our resources to build y

    Helena closed her eyes and took a deep breath. “Yes, I remember someone, but I forgot her name and who she is. She means a lot to me, but not in a romantic way. She’s….”“Your little sister.” Cody cut Helena off.Helena’s chin dropped. “But I’m an only child.”“I won’t explain it too long,” Cody continued. “But I will slowly restore your memory of five years ago, when all that happened.”The senator was about to say something, but he gulped and answered instead. “Okay. Just do it.”Cody made a special zombie in his house approach Helena, but without her knowing. However, Cody also made sure that individual did not get too close to the senator. The most important thing was that Cody made the special zombie signal Helena’s brain little by little.“Hey.” Helena frowned. “Why aren’t you doing anything…”Before she finished speaking, she gasped. Her eyes widened.“Do you remember that memory?” Cody asked.“We used to be friends?” Helena asked back. “And I used to be your right-hand woman….

  • 184 – Memories

    It turned out that even after quite a long time, Cody had received no news from the spy he sent to the portal. He still saw endless darkness.But that was bliss for him. He had created a system so that his special zombies would work automatically and cooperate with the government, the sea kingdom, or those from Zeno’s town. The special zombies would only provide updates via telepathy. That way, he could often be with Freya, while also looking for a way to free Nigel.And that went on for almost three months. Fall would soon be over, but everything was still the same.Cody wondered how long this peace would last.“If only my position was higher, I would protect you more than this, Cody.” Akira, who was now a major, sighed in his office chair. “Unfortunately, I can only make you invisible in this city. I can’t guarantee that in other cities.”Cody smiled. “That’s okay. I really appreciate it. Freya is also not someone who wants to always go on trips.”Akira was silent for a moment. “Hav

  • 183 – Into the Void

    Cody supervised Luna’s body reconstruction through a transparent wall connected to the operating room. They used various mechanical hands to build that woman’s body from the smallest parts.“What do you think, Cody?” Tia came and stood beside that man.“This is the most perfect way to build a body from scratch. I can indeed form a new body, but it still doesn’t fit Luna and her friends.” Cody commented. “They have fundamental differences compared to my special zombie.”“Well, but this method is so slow, while we are still pressed for time. There are still many former commander-in-chief candidates whose bodies we have to rebuild. We are still looking for a solution for that.” Tia sighed. “By the way, isn’t it time you dropped the special zombies’ call? They aren’t the living dead like the ones you met in that apocalypse world, right?”“I don’t know what to call them.” After saying that, Cody left the room to meet Randy, who was sitting outside.The former officer who was sitting on a w

  • 182 – A First Timer

    Like the previous battle, Cody prepared his troops on the beach after he provoked the giant dragon. But this time he put the sea king between them, in a fairly high place.At first Cody didn’t know if the remnant would come with the second provocation. However, after a few days, he witnessed that the thing was moving towards the surface of the earth with a greater number of troops.Cody felt he could handle them with troops that were also increased in number and a new strategy. Even so, he still asked the government military to stay ready to fight.As a result, the soldiers were on standby with their weapons. From various rifles, tanks, to fighter planes on warships, kilometers away from them.“Honestly, Cody.” The king took a deep breath on a cliff by the sea. “This might be the moment that makes me the most nervous in my entire life?”Cody guessed. “Because this is your first war on the surface of the earth?”“Well, that too.” The king rubbed his face. “But more than that, I’m fight

    Cody used a vehicle with an organic engine that had a higher speed than he modified his body to swim. Together with several troops, he explored deep waters, passing through caves and distant areas. Even to reach the promised place, he and his troops needed two days.Cody raised his eyebrows as he got out of his submarine. He met a muscular man escorted by several mermaids.“Hey, how are you, hero?” The man smiled at Cody.He didn’t have a beard for five years, and his face looked younger. However, from his facial features, Cody was sure that it was the king of the sea kingdom.“You look fresher, your majesty.” Cody shook his hand. He was still trying to confirm that the person in front of him was the king.“Just so you know. After the incident five years ago, for no apparent reason, my strength increased many times over. It also affected my appearance.” The king continued.“So, do you still remember the incident five years ago?” When Cody asked, the king’s aides exchanged glances in c

  • 180 – The Influences

    The military base received some of the remnant’s body parts, and Cody used his special zombies to do the research.“So, you’re saying that what you’re going to do is just a temporary solution to fix Luna and the others’ condition?” Randy asked Cody using a video call.Cody nodded while holding his phone, looking at Randy’s face from the screen. “But don’t worry. I can replicate Zeno’s cells from these samples, so we won’t lose the serum to maintain their condition. Unfortunately, like I said earlier, it won’t be permanent. They’ll probably have to use the serum every certain period and the results won’t be optimal. But I’m sure they’ll still survive.”“Well, at least Luna and the others won’t die and suffer like this,” Randy sighed. “So, how are you? Have you met Freya yet?”Cody shrugged. “I’m still busy with this. But I always try to contact Freya when I have time.”“I hope you can come home to her from time to time.” Randy said. “It’s not just for her, but I’m more thinking about y
