VRRRROOOOOOMMM!

"This is really happening," Raka thought with resignation, staring at the cement trowel in his hand. "I'm going to die holding a construction tool."

The wildly spinning teeth of the chainsaw were

  • Chapter 150: A Gaming Setup

    He was currently wearing very neat clothes. A clean white shirt, perfectly ironed, black jeans that didn't have a single mud or oil stain, and on the front of his body, there was a cloth that made him happy."My barista apron?"Raka touched the thick dark brown fabric neatly tied at his waist. The apron was new. And exactly like the one he wore on the first day of the apocalypse before being dragged into the nightmare.Even the name pin reading 'RAKA' was still attached upright on his left chest pocket.He raised his hands. His left hand was not blistered from acid burns. His right hand was not broken. Even his skin was clean, healthy, and there wasn't a single drop of purplish blood."I’m... whole," Raka whispered. Then a small laugh escaped his lips. "I’m back to being an ordinary human. No machines. No time limits."Raka felt his waist. 'The Bu

  • Chapter 149: The Afterlife Waiting Room

    "Hello?"Raka's voice echoed, breaking the silence. His voice did not sound hoarse. There was no salty taste of blood on his tongue, no stinging from the acid burns on his arms.And most importantly, there was no cold air freezing his lungs.There was only pitch black. Not a single ray of light pierced through it. The darkness made Raka Adhitama feel as if his eyes had been sewn shut from the inside.However, it wasn't the darkness that surprised him the most. The thing that stunned him the most was the absence of pain."Is anyone here?" Raka asked again. He turned his head to the right and left, but there was nothing to be seen. "Vanya? Luna? Baginda?"He waited for a reply. There was no growl of a monster. There was no sound of a bone saw grinding his chest. In fact, the sound of the revolver hammer strike that had hit his temple earlier felt like a very dist

  • Chapter 148: Apex Predator

    Vanya, who knew the unspoken question, then growled. She didn't expect it to end like this."This smell is very thick, Luna!” Vanya answered in frustration. Her voice rose, almost a shriek. “It’s like dropping a ton of fresh bloody meat into a sea filled with Great White sharks!"Luna swallowed hard with bulging eyes. The analogy Vanya gave was too horrifying if it became a reality."That ventilation vents the air outside the building!” now Vanya shrieked in annoyance. “This smell is spreading throughout the industrial area within a five-kilometer radius!"AWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!As if answering the horror of Vanya's words, the silence of the night out there was shattered.Luna and Vanya both looked up at the dark ceiling. Their heads turned to re-confirm the source of that sound.A

  • Chapter 147: Flatline

    "One last stitch on the vein," Vanya muttered with her eyes narrowed sharply. "Circulation closed. These biological pipes are connected."Vanya took a deep breath, wiping the sweat from her temples with the sleeve of her blood-stained white lab coat.However, before Vanya had a chance to put her sewing needle into the tray, a strange vibration traveled from inside Raka's chest cavity. Vanya's eyebrows rose.THUMP!"What—?!"Vanya jolted back, her eyes widening behind her glasses.The Dragon Heart that had just been installed suddenly pulsed with an unnatural force. The metallic black-scaled organ swelled, enlarging almost touching the remains of Raka's ribs that had been cut.“Oh, no,” Vanya murmured in horror.Luna looked up at Vanya in confusion. To her, a layman, nothing was strange at all other than the surgery proceeding smoothly.THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!The pulse grew faster. The heart squirmed wildly inside Raka's chest cavity as if it had its own consciousness. The organ pressed

  • Chapter 146: Hammer-Strike Anesthesia

    "I know!" Vanya shrieked, her face red with anger and panic. "I don't have any muscle relaxants! All my remaining anesthesia was used up at the veterinary clinic yesterday! The neural network in his spine keeps sending shock signals to his muscles!"Vanya stared blankly at the table. They had spent almost eight minutes of the fifteen-minute limit."Luna! We need a manual neural reset!" Vanya gave a desperate command. "We must deliver physical trauma large enough to the base of his brainstem to temporarily cut off these seizure signals!"Luna stared at Vanya in confusion. ‘Physical trauma?’Vanya nodded."Hit him, Luna!" she shouted. "Hit his head hard on the temple! Make his nervous system short-circuit from a mild concussion! Do it now, or his ribs will pinch his lungs!"Luna froze. She had to hit the head of the man who lay helplessly on the ste

  • Chapter 145:  Too Narrow

    Pump... pump... pump...Luna stood with a pale face, channeling the last remaining oxygen to Raka’s brain through the hose in the youth’s neck. Beneath her hands, Raka’s skin felt as cold as the beef carcasses hanging from the factory ceiling."Circulation is temporarily stable," Vanya broke the silence. "This freezing temperature gives us a maximum window of fifteen minutes before permanent brain damage occurs. We must insert this mutant organ immediately."Vanya turned toward her metal tray. There, the Dragon Heart pulsed rhythmically and autonomously. The metallic black-scaled organ emitted extraordinary heat, producing white steam upon contact with the freezing air.Vanya lifted the heavy heart with both her rubber-gloved hands, then brought it over Raka's gaping chest cavity."Come on, Monster. Enter your new home," Vanya muttered obsessively.Slowly lowering the Dragon Heart into Raka's cavity. However, the organ stopped halfway."Damn it," Vanya swore, pulling the organ back.L
