2024-09-03 20:29:56Chapter 2: PREPARING FOR THE APOCALYPSE.
Ethan was in a puzzled state, he rubbed his eyes if he was seeing an illusion. But then the window was still floating in the air. [Host had been transported to the past] [Current Year: 2016] [The Zombie apocalypse will begin in 7 days, host must prepare himself] [Stats:] [Strength -10] [Speed -10] [Agility -10] [Experience -10] [Intelligence -10] [Point -5] [Lvl - 1] “The past? Zombie apocalypse? What's going on?” Ethan said. Suddenly the news appeared on the television, an explosion just occurred in a Mall, and the source of the explosion was unknown. This event seems very familiar to Ethan and he immediately checked his phone, the date was exactly, August, 2016. Ethan got down from his bed, everything that was happening was unreal, he was in 2020 a few minutes before his death. But now he has appeared in the past, one week before the apocalypse. Suddenly a smirk escaped on his lips, he was a loser in his past life, but now he has been given another chance to correct his mistake and take his revenge on those who betrayed him. The time was still past eight, Ethan got dressed up for work. He came outside of his house, wearing casual pants and a black hoodie. Ethan arrived at his work, in his former life his girlfriend Racheland his boss Wayne betrayed him and was the cause of his death, so his intentions now was to resign and give them a taste of their own medicine. Ethan walked to his boss's office, Wayne was seated along with Racheal. Rachel Felt a little bit uncomfortable once she saw Ethan, however Ethan shrugged, in his past life today was the exact day he caught them cheating, he already knew what was going to happen. “What brought you to my office without my consent?” Wayne asked. “I came to submit my resignation letter, I no longer want to work in this company” Ethan replied. Wayne and Rachelexchanged puzzled gaze at each other. “You want to resign?” “Yes,” Ethan said. “Is everything okay?” Rachelasked, behaving like a caring girlfriend, Ethan who already knew what she became gave her a deadly gaze. “I wasn't talking to you,” he replied. Ethan then dropped the resignation letter on the table. “I'm leaving” Rachel Felt guilty, has Ethan found out she was cheating with Wayne? She decided to walk up to him and confirm. “Hey, Ethan what's the matter…” She held his arm, but Ethan retaliated with a hot slap that sent her on the floor. “Don't you dare touch me, you witch!” He cursed. “Hey!” Wayne got up to his feet, furiously. “How dare you hit her, in my presence!” Wayne walked up to Ethan. Ethan didn't waste time to throw a punch at his face. “Argh!” Wayne held his chin, but he received an uppercut, he crash landed on his table. “You asshole, you need to pay for your crimes!” Ethan said, gritting his teeth. He kept on beating the hell out of Wayne before the security came and held him. “Hey, sir you need to leave right away!” The security dragged him out. Ethan wasn't done with Wayne but he couldn't resist the security guards. Once Ethan was thrown out of the company he arranged his clothes properly and checked his wrist watch. It was past 10 in the morning. “I have to go to the bank and withdraw all my savings, a week from now all banks will be shut down, I need to act fast. I was a victim of the apocalypse in my past life, I will make a change this time” he clenched his fist. Ethan's parents dropped a lot of money for them before he passed away, Ethan had been saving that money for his future and his little sister, Mayka. But since the world would soon be invaded by zombies, there was no point of saving it. [Ding!] [New Mission: Get to the bank in the next ten minutes] [Failure - (-5 points)] [Reward -(+5 points)] The system appeared again in thin air. “This thing gives a mission?” Ethan asked. He wondered if he should believe in this weird system or not, but if he was truly transported to the past with knowledge of the future, he should believe in the system. “Ten minutes? That would be enough” Ethan entered a taxi to get there quickly, it was not too far from where he was and luckily for the taxi he got there twice as fast on foot. Arriving at the bank Ethan's jaw dropped when he saw the long queue at the gate. “What the heck is going on?” He was dumbfounded. Adam checked his phone and it was Friday, “oh damn” he said in disappointment. Every Friday banks are usually overcrowded as from Saturday it would be closed, so people often go on Fridays to withdraw enough cash for the weekend. [Ding!] [Five minutes left] “Shit! I need to find a way to get in quickly” Ethan thought of a way to get to the front of the queue. If he waited in line, he'd surely fail the mission. Ethan walked out of the queue and went straight to the security men. “Hey, young man, you should wait in the queue” “I know, but unfortunately I need to get in quickly, it's quite urgent and I can't wait more than five minutes on the queue” Ethan requested. He knew the security wouldn't let him in, but his aim wasn't on them, but to get the bank manager’s attention. “And who do you think you are? Go back to the line or we'll be forced to kick you out of this premises” They threatened Ethan. Ethan dipped his hand in his pocket. “I have only four minutes left, let me in, I don't have time to waste with you,” Ethan said with no trace of emotion. “That's it!” The security couldn't tolerate a young man looking local speaking to them in that manner, so they set out to reach Ethan for a lesson. Ethan clenched his fist, he has acquired some fighting skills in his past life during the apocalypse. The security men threw punches at him, he dodged them and retaliated with a kick that sent one crashing on the glass door. The door shattered in pieces as it drew the attention of the manager. “What's going on here!” He growled furiously. “It's that young man sir!” The security guard pointed at Ethan. Ethan however was unfazed. “Who are you young men? I'm calling the police!” The manager threatened. “No need for that, I only came to withdraw some cash,” Ethan replied. “How much do you come to withdraw to make such a scene!?” The manger clenched his jaw. “$75 million dollars” Ethan replied with a cold tone. “What…how can you afford such an amount.” “I don't have time to explain, let me in and we can talk better” Ethan said after checking his time. He had just one minute left. “Alright come in,” the manager said. The people on the queue complained angrily as he let Ethan in, meanwhile they have been waiting for hours. Immediately Ethan stepped into the building he received a notification from the system. [Ding!] [Mission completed] [Reward - +5(10) points] “Hmm that was quick, although I still need to learn what these points are used for” Ethan smirked. “So Mister, how much did you say you wanted to withdraw for causing a scene outside?” The manager asked with a serious look on his face.

CHAPTER 16 : ATTACKED BY THE UNKNOWN GROUP
Mayka staggered back, clutching her arm, blood seeping between her fingers. The shock froze her for a moment, terror etched on her face. But then, something shifted inside her—an instinct sparked by the fever that had ravaged them all."Get down!" Ethan yelled, throwing himself toward her. He shielded Mayka as the remaining attackers closed in, weapons drawn, their intentions clear: there would be no survivors."Cover me!" he barked at Fiona, who, through the strange abilities the fever had left her with, managed to hijack the gun from one of the armed men. Her fury shifted into sharp focus as she aimed at the nearest attacker, her fingers trembling only slightly on the trigger.Ethan pulled Mayka closer, his thoughts racing as he scanned the bus for something—anything—they could use. The others remained hidden in the shadows, their escape routes blocked. "We need to fight back!" he urged, his adrenaline spiking as he glanced at the door and the armed men outside."On three," Fiona sa
CHAPTER 15 : MAYKA SHOT
The first rays of dawn painted the truck's interior in a sickly yellow hue, illuminating the dust motes dancing in the stale air. Ethan sat bolt upright, his eyes gleaming with a fierce determination. He had spent the night wrestling with his system,He knew it held the key to his survival, a way to harness its power and rewrite his fate in this new, terrifying reality. He knew he was still weak, vulnerable. There were others out there, survivors, maybe even a group of them, and he had a nagging feeling they were close, their existence a ticking time bomb. He needed to be stronger, to be ready.Across from him, Rachel lay slumped against the truck wall, her breathing shallow and labored. She was burning with fever, her skin flushed and clammy. It was a strange turn of events. The others, Fiona, Urla, and Myka, had all succumbed to the fever in the night, but Rachel had been spared. Now, as if the fever had been delayed, it was taking its toll.The truck’s air grew thick with tens
CHAPTER 14 : JAMES BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH
The first sliver of dawn, a pale, sickly yellow, seeped through the tattered cloth James had haphazardly draped over the truck window. He jolted awake, a cold sweat clinging to his skin. His heart hammered against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat in the eerie silence of the abandoned city. He was trapped, a lone survivor in a world consumed by the undead.He scrambled to sit up, his mind racing, replaying the events of the previous night. He had been forced to flee his car, a desperate gamble to escape the relentless horde that had swarmed his vehicle. He had found refuge in this dilapidated truck, hoping it would offer him a temporary sanctuary.He scanned the truck's interior, his eyes darting across the cracked dashboard, the torn upholstery, the rusted metal. He was alone. But was he truly alone?He reached out a trembling hand, his fingers brushing against the cold metal of the truck door. He hesitated, fear gnawing at his insides. He had to check. He had to make sure.He slowl
CHAPTER 13 : JAMES SURVIVAL
Wyne, his former boss, had been the one who had refused to listen, who had refused to follow Ethan's warnings. He had paid the ultimate price, left to die along with the rest of the unprepared. But Rachel had followed Ethan, trying to get closer to him, trying to worm her way back into his good graces. But Ethan wasn't fooled. He knew her game, and he was determined not to let her manipulate him again. He had learned his lesson. He would never forgive her for her betrayal, for the pain she had caused him. He would never trust her again. He turned back to Fiona, his eyes filled with a strange mix of determination and despair. "We wait," he said, his voice barely audible. "We wait for the fever to start." The silence returned, heavy and suffocating. Outside, the sun was setting, casting long, ominous shadows across the landscape. The air was still and quiet, but beneath the surface, a current of fear and anticipation ran through the car. They were all trapped in a nightmare, a n
CHAPTER 12: ORB
He turned and made his way back to the bus, his mind racing with thoughts of the future. He knew that this was only the beginning. The world was a dangerous place, and he would need all his strength and cunning to survive. But he was determined to make it through, to find a way to rebuild a life, a world, from the ashes of the old. He reached the bus and climbed inside, his eyes meeting Fiona's worried gaze. "It's clear," he said, his voice hoarse. "We can stay here for a while." He closed the door behind him, the world outside fading into darkness. He was safe, for now. But the fight was far from over. The apocalypse had only just begun. The car hummed with a tense silence as Ethan slid back into the seat, his eyes still reflecting the shock of the recent events. Fiona, her face pale and etched with disbelief, turned to him. "Ethan," she began, her voice barely a whisper, "you need to tell me more. How did you know? How could you have dreamt about this?" Ethan sighed, his
CHAPTER 11: ORB
Ethan, his face grim, kept his eyes fixed on the road, navigating a treacherous path through the heart of the apocalypse. Cars, twisted and mangled, lay scattered like discarded toys, their occupants long gone, devoured by the insatiable hunger of the undead. Fiona, Rachel, and Mayka huddled together in the back, their faces pale with fear. The world outside was a horrifying spectacle of chaos and decay, a stark reminder of the fragile nature of their existence. "We won't make it to the bunker before dawn," Fiona said, her voice barely a whisper. "We need to find somewhere safe to rest." Ethan nodded, his gaze never leaving the road. "I know," he said, his voice tight. "But we have to keep moving. The longer we stay in one place, the more likely we are to be found." The bus lurched to a halt, its engine sputtering to a stop. Ethan turned to the others. "Stay here," he instructed. "Lock the doors. I'll scout ahead." He opened the door and stepped out into the oppressive silen
