Chapter 11. The Other Humans
Devon had frozen, his mind quickly calculating the auras. He found roughly twenty three individual life forces there."But how are we supposed to find food here? All that's around us is this black mountain rock," a man with a deep, raspy voice stated inside the cave.Silence fell for a few seconds, broken only by the crackling sound of wood burning in a small fire."Yeah, there's no visible plant life here, true... even animals wouldn't be able to survive this environment," a woman's voice confirmed, sounding weary.Then, another woman's voice suddenly broke the quiet with a hysterical edge. "But my kid needs to eat! What am I supposed to do?!""Shut up! If you need to, go find your own damn food for your kid! You already know that if we step outside, we could die!" The deep, raspy voice of the first man roared, snapping at her. Following the shout, the faint sound of a small child weeping in fear reached Devon's ears."Hey, hey. There's no need for that. Everyone's hungry right now,
Chapter 12. Caldemor
Devon watched them go. The figures moving down the slope got smaller and smaller, steadily moving away from the mouth of the cave. Occasionally, one of them would flinch, their bodies giving a quick jump as some sound—a branch snapping, maybe—startled them.He simply observed, not feeling the slightest urge to go after them, not even a little bit. They must be going for supplies, maybe food, he thought, chewing on his lip.But why only five people? Out of twenty three total, that's wild.It made no sense. He shook his head slowly. If only five of them went down, they would barely stand a chance if they ran into even one normal, run of the mill Skeleton with its basic, human level strength. That was just a dumb risk.But still, he didn't want to help them, and honestly, he wouldn't. Raline was the only reason he hadn't already ditched this whole mess and the cave they were hiding in. His entire focus was her.Suddenly, Bony, the skeletal horse, lifted its skull, its empty eye sockets p
Chapter 13. The Revenants
The black auras, laced with faint threads of gold within them, shifted. Devon watched them wriggle free from the trees, the mountain rocks, and the ground itself. They moved with an unsettling, lazy ease, their flow almost like thick and dark liquid.And the sheer number was overwhelming. Devon couldn't even begin to count them, there were just too many. A wave of oppressive psychic energy washed over him, a cold dread that had nothing to do with the night air."What is it, Dev?" Raline whispered, her voice tight with panic as she saw her brother's body suddenly go rigid.For a moment, he couldn't speak. Just seeing those countless auras through his Death Sight made his stomach churn. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead and traced paths down his back."...Dev..." Raline moved closer, pressing herself against him. She was terrified now, looking at her brother, who had gone pale as bone.Bony, the skeletal horse, sensed the newly risen undead too. It shuffled backward, deep into the cave
Chapter 14. The Silent Massacre
But thankfully, after a few terrifying moments, Raline’s paralyzing fear shifted into quiet, suppressed sobs. She began to cry hard against her brother’s chest, who could only hold her tightly, speechless.Devon’s heart twisted painfully in his chest. If only none of this had ever happened...His mind went back to Anubis’s cold, demanding words.“I will give you my power in stages. You must master the first stage within one week. Only then will I grant you the subsequent level of ability.”One week felt like an eternity. They had only been here for two days, and it felt like they were trapped in a nightmare, one they might never wake up from.He winced, remembering his sister's excited expression when she first heard he had gained Anubis's power. Now, she was terrified by a single undead monster.Devon was scared, too, deep down, but he made sure not to show it. He forced himself to appear strong because he had to protect his sister. That was the only thing that mattered.After she had
Chapter 15. Leaving the Mountains
The bodies lay sprawled inside the cave, clustered around the remains of the campfire that was now nothing but cold charcoal. Three small children and five teenagers were scattered among the adult corpses.They had all died violently, in various ways. Some bodies were burned to a crisp, charred and blackened. Others lay with their heads nearly severed, dangling grotesquely.Raline let out a sharp gasp, then bolted out of the cave. Devon remained for a moment, his gaze sweeping the interior.The Revenants hadn't spared the children, not even the smallest ones, and the reality of that made him feel a cold twist in his stomach. He swallowed down the nausea, forcing it back, and walked out.He had no desire to take any useful items they might have left behind—though he doubted there would be any. All that was in his mind was the image of the gods he had seen rolling dice.Was this what they were playing with? A game where human lives were the chips?Feeling strangely weak, he walked toward
Chapter 16. The New City
Around fifty meters from the city limits, Devon spoke to his sister. “I’m gonna test out my strength, okay? Bony, you walk slowly and catch up with her, got it?”But without waiting for Raline’s reply, he sprinted forward with impossible speed toward the city boundary, then leaped over the two-meter-high border, landing silently inside the city limits.Thirteen Zombies were shambling nearby. They instantly turned, sniffing the air, having caught the scent of human life. Devon gave a cynical smirk as he watched them begin to stagger toward him.He drew his sword, Caldemor, and charged toward the first zombie. With fluid, lethal grace, he swung the blade at the first one, aiming straight for its neck.He repeated the move with the next one. His movements were a blur of attacks and evasions, executed at a speed far exceeding that of a normal human.In no time at all, he had severed the heads of all the zombies.'Heh... those were too easy to kill,' he thought, wiping his blade clean with
Chapter 17. Death Corruption
BANGGGG!! BANGGG!!!The rolling door suddenly vibrated with a deafening noise, making Raline jump in surprise, and the flashlight she was holding clattered to the floor. She instantly ran toward her brother, who was walking between the fallen shelves.But seeing her brother not care, she also calmed down. He wasn't scared, so she didn't have to be, either.Ignoring the commotions, he lifted several shelves, pushing them aside to form a crude partition around their spot. After that, he found some foam mattresses, stacking a few to create two sleeping areas for himself and Raline.The sound of the undead hammering on the rolling door echoed a few more times, but after a few minutes, the banging stopped. Devon could still see the auras of the Zombies outside the rolling door, moving back and forth, up and down, a restless patrol."Dev, why won't they just leave already?" Raline, who could also hear the low growls coming from behind the door, asked. She was busy unfolding blankets and pil
Chapter 18. Testing the Powers
Devon just stared at the list of abilities in his Status Window, realizing he had been relying purely on his physical combat and Death Sight. The other skills remained untouched.‘Essence Siphon, Minor Life Drain, Spectral Hand, and Ephemeral Shift… I haven’t even tried them once.’He sat up slowly, wincing slightly. His whole body still ached from the corruption purge, but the pain was manageable now, he could actually move. Raline was humming softly, busy cooking something that smelled ridiculously good, considering they were in a store hiding from the undead.The sight made him smile. At least one of them was keeping things normal in this disaster.“Sis, I’m gonna test something. Stay back a bit, okay?” he called out.Raline turned from the camping stove, holding a pot of instant ramen she had apparently enhanced with a can of peas and carrots. “Try what?”“My skills. I’ve only been using one of them this whole time.”She nodded eagerly, setting the pot down on the folding table sh
Chapter 19. Raline’s Feelings
Everything instantly went dull and grey. The pillow, which had been flying toward his face, now moved in extreme slow motion. Devon’s body felt weightless, insubstantial, like he was made of smoke.He tried to step aside, but the movement felt strange. He glided rather than walked. The pillow passed through where his body had been.Then, abruptly, the world slammed back. Colors returned, sounds rushed in. Devon stumbled, nearly falling over.[Ephemeral Shift ended][Duration: 2 seconds][Mortuary Essence consumed: -25 ME][Cooldown: 60 seconds]“Whoa…” Devon gasped, his heart pounding fast. “That was… intense.”Raline rushed over. “Are you okay? You looked like you actually disappeared for a second!”“Yeah, that skill is insane. Devon sank onto the mattress. “For two seconds, I was basically untouchable. But it’s disorienting as hell…”“Could you fight while using it?”“Maybe? It was hard to move normally, I was floating. But if I’m about to get hit by something I can’t dodge…” He sho
Chapter 20. Testing In Actual Fights
After she finished bandaging him, Raline showed off her finds with obvious pride. She had found not just medicine, but also books about herbs, medicinal plants, and even some dried herbs in the supermarket’s organic section.“Look at this!” She said excitedly, holding up a book titled ‘Natural Remedies and Healing Herbs.’“It says some herbs can boost immune system, reduce swelling, even help with pain. This place has a ton of dried stuff!”She already started organizing them into categories. Anti inflammatory, antibacterial, pain relief, immune boosting. It reminded Devon of how she used to organize their tiny kitchen back home, making the most of their limited space.“You’re seriously into this, huh?” Devon observed, genuinely impressed.“Well, yeah. Totally! It’s fascinating!”Raline pulled out several small packages. “Chamomile for sleep and anxiety, ginger for nausea and inflamation, turmeric for pain and healing, peppermint for digestion… There’s so much we can use to make our o
