Chapter 31. Morning Revelation
Dawn broke slowly over the dead city, and Devon hadn’t moved from his post all night. He had spent the whole time watching the zombie auras shuffle aimlessly, marveling at how much detail he could now see with his enhanced Death Sight range. The skill was absolutely amazing.Before, the auras were just blurry blobs of color and intensity. Now, he could clearly see individual movements and almost perfectly sense the strength of every single creature just looking at its unique signature.The regular zombies glowed with a dull black gray. The giants, when they occasionally moved into his range far to the west, burned with an intense darkness threaded with almost neon green.Raline stirred right beside him as the sunlight grew stronger. She blinked herself awake, yawned, then looked at her brother with serious concern.“Did you get any sleep at all?”“A little,” Devon lied smoothly. “You were low key hogging all the blanket though.”She gave his arm a light punch. “Liar. You pulled watch
Chapter 32. Testing Limits
“That was… insane,” Raline whispered, totally stunned by the flawless execution she had just witnessed. “You literally killed them through a awall from way over here, through solid concrete walls, without even having to step outside this building.”“Yup.” Devin wiggled his fingers slightly, still feeling the phantom sensation of the hand that was just pure power. “This B Rank stuff is about to change the entire game for us.”He looked over to the west, where his Sight could now clearly see the enormous energy signatures of the giants right at the far edge of his perception range.“Tomorrow,” he stated quietly, his voice low but firm. “Tomorrow I will start actively hunting those giants.”Raline nodded. “Tomorrow is fine. But today, you rest and get used to these powers. And I will deal with Williams and Lee.”Devon gave his sister a grateful smile. “Glad I have you with me, sis.”“Someone has to keep your ass from doing something stupid,” she shrugged.They returned back into the main
Chapter 33. Powers and Flaws
Devon moved through the dead city with a fluid grace he had never possessed before. His B Rank body flet like a perfectly tuned machine, every step was precise, every move was clean and efficient. Bony easily kept pace beside him, the skeletal horse’s hooves making barely a sound on the cracked asphalt.His Death Sight painted the world in layers of information. Regular zombies looked like dull gray black blobs. Any living creatures — like a few rats, birds — showed up as tiny bright sparks of orange light. And far to the west, those three massive giants flowed like dark beacons.Devon counted roughly thirty zombie auras within a five block radius. That was enough to test his skills properly.“Stay back and watch,” he told Bony. “Only jump in if things get bad.”The skeletal horse snorted and went up onto a raised parking deck where it could get a clear view of everything.Devon approached the first group consisting of five zombies awkwardly staggering near a tree. He wanted to start w
Chapter 34. Couldn’t Continue the Test
“I’m such a dumbass,” Devon cursed. He had blown past the limit he and Raline had set up. 8.77% was way too high.But he had learned what he needed to know. Death Realm Step was insanely strong. Five seconds where nothing could hit him, the ability to phase through literally anything solid, and attacks that landed with a delay.It was perfect.He still had to test Skill Mimicry, but his corruption was too high. He had to save that one for another day.Devon checked his overall stats one last time.[Level: 61][Experience (EX): 5205/40425][Health: 3230/3230][Mortuary Essence (ME): 2094/3390][Corruption Gauge: 8.77%]Twenty five zombies killed in total.“Time to head back,” he told Bony, who had been watching the entire display from the parking deck. The skeleton horse trotted down to join him, and Devon could swear it looked impressed.They started walking back toward the supermarket. Devon kept his Death Sight on, monitoring the survivors’ auras in the distance. All of them were st
Chapter 35. Reconnaisance
They left through the service door, moving fast through the deep shadows of the early morning. Devon’s Death Sight showed the city like a glowing three dimensional map, with every single zombie aura clearly visible within a kilometer radius.The three giants were still hanging out on the western side of the city, roughly around eight hundred meters from where Devon was right now. He definitely needed to get closer, but not too close. Two hundred meters would be ideal. Close enough to observe, far enough to bail if things went sideways.Devon and Bony moved carefully through the ruins, taking a zigzag path to avoid zombie groups. His enhanced agility made climbing over the rubble was trivial, and Bony’s undead grace let the skeletal horse easily keep pace right alongside him.About twenty minutes later, they reached a half collapsed parking building that gave them a good vantage point. Devon climbed to the third level while Bony waited below.From this height, he had a clear view of th
Chapter 36. Williams and Lee
Then, abruptly, the entire pursuit just stopped.Devon risked a quick glance back over his shoulder. The death knight had abruptly halted at a major intersection, standing perfectly still like a statue.The giants had stopped behind it, awaiting orders. The figure raised its huge sword in what honestly looked like a mocking salute, then turned its back and slowly walked away, the giants following it obediently.Devon collapsed against a ruined wall, gasping hard for breath.[Death Sight Analysis: Entity has withdrawn][Threat neutralized temporarily]“What the hell was that thing?” Devon wheezed out, coughing.Bony trotted up beside him, the skeletal horse somehow managing to look genuinely concerned despite having no facial expressions.Devon checked his position. He was nearly two kilometers away from the supermarket now, well outside his comfortable safe zone. But at least he had successfully led the threat away from the survivors.He needed to get back fast. Raline needed to know
Chapter 37. The Messenger
“What kind of something?” Williams barked.“I don’t know! It was… it was just watching me in the shadows!”Devon focused on the storage area. At first, he saw nothing unusual. Then, in the far corner behind some stacked boxes, he caught a faint flicker of something. An aura so incredibly faint it was barely visible.It wasn’t the dull black gray of the zombies, or the bright orange red of the living humans. This was something completely in between.“Everyone stay back,” Devon ordered, drawing Caldemor in one smooth motion.“What is it?” Lee asked, her rifle aimed at the storage door.“I’ll find out.”Devon approached slowly, his enhanced senses on high alert. The ghostly aura wasn’t moving, it was just there.He reached the stacked boxes and peered cautiously around them.A child stood there, staring back at him.Devon froze completely. The child looked maybe eight years old, wearing rags covered in dirt and dried blood. But the most disturbing part was the child’s eyes. It was totall
Chapter 38. Countdown - Day One
Williams shook his head decisively. “We’re not leaving. Right, Lee?”Lee nodded slowly, her expression grim but determined. “We stick together. We’ve already lost too many people. I’m done running.”The other survivors murmured their agreement. Even the terrified civilians seemed to find some courage in sticking together.Devon felt a strange warmth twist in his chest. These people were choosing to stay, choosing to put their trust in him, even after hearing the truth.“Alright,” he said, taking a deep breath. “Then we have three days to prepare for hell. I will do everything I can to make sure you all survive what’s coming.”“What do you need from us?” Williams asked, his tone now shifted from suspicious to firm support.Devon thought quickly, already planning. “Williams, teach me military tactics. Lee, set up defenses. Everyone else, we need to reinforce everything here.”“I’ll handle medical preparations. First aid and supplies. If that thing attacks, people will get hurt,” Raline
Chapter 39. The Blood Moon
They climbed back down to the main floor.“I won’t let you down,” Devon suddenly said quietly.“You better not. If you fail, we’re all dead anyway.”*******Back inside, Lee was drilling some of the civilians in basic spear techniques, on how to hold the line, and how to thrust without exposing themselves. Raline was teaching first aid basics, showing everyone how to put on tourniquets and pack up bad cuts.Devon found Bony chilling in their usual corner, the skeletal horse was relaxing but still on alert. He sat down next to it, gently petting its bony face.“Two more days, then everything goes to hell,” he whispered. Bony clacked its jaw softly.Devon checked his cooldown. It would refresh in around six hours. Once it did, he would have his full arsenal ready.“Devon!”He looked up to see Raline rushing over, her face flushed with excitement.“I found something in the pharmacy records. Medical files from before the city was moved.”“What kind of files?”She held up a folder. “Patien
Chapter 40. The Proposal
The death knight just watched him walk closer, doing what Devon could only call an amused kind of watching.“Heir of Anubis,” it said in a voice that seemed to echo from everywhere. “You’re younger than I expected.”“And you’re creepier than I imagined,” Devon shot back. “What do you want?”The knight laughed, and it sounded like two bones grating together. “Direct. I like that.”It made a quick hand gesture toward the giants. “Kneel.”The massive zombies immediately dropped to their knees.“I am Valdris. I used to be a General of the Undead Legions. I was chosen as a champion, just like you.”Devon blinked. “You’re a champion? For which god?”“Hades, the Greek God of the Underworld,” Valdris said, tilting its skull helmet a bit. “Or I was, until the Supreme Lich exiled me from the Undead Realm.”“Why?”“Because I refused to be his puppet. The Lich only wants blind obedience from the champions from the undead race. So he stripped my rank, cast me out, and left me here to die in the to
