When Lex finally woke the first thing he became aware of was pain. His entire body, from his toes to his head was filled with pain. He was also incredibly sore, and that was a feeling he had barely felt since he started cultivating Regal Embrace. With difficulty he got up, and all his bones cracked as he did. When he got up he was hit with a sudden bout of nausea and leaned to the side of the sofa to let out pitch black vomit. Lex was horrified looking at it, but he suddenly felt much better once he was…-

Lex picked up his speed and tried to run past the zombies before they noticed him. For the ones who came out as he was running past he was successful, but there were many times where zombies had already exited buildings as he ran past. They would always be attracted to him and start moving in his direction. Initially he was still able to dodge them, but as time went by he had to preemptively start attacking them. Killing zombies wasn’t his goal with these attacks. With one look he determined his optimal…

To a degree Lex had become used to the darkness and could make out vague shapes in the distance. The constant rain made it difficult for him to hear any walking zombies, but similarly it stopped them from hearing him as well. Lex’s eyes gleamed with excitement as he confirmed everything was set and stepped out of the building to begin his hunt. First and foremost, he would not hunt anywhere near the building he was in. He was treating that as his home base and didn’t want to risk attracting a horde…

Hera noticed the old man’s body tremble, his pale face regain color and his weakness change into strength. Immediately she knew something had happened. She signaled Jimmy to hand over the key and quickly pulled him back to her side, but the old man didn’t seem to notice. All of his attention was focused on the key that was now in his hand, and the subtle warmth it spread into his body. “How many years?” the man mumbled to himself. “How many years has it been?” In fact, the man did not need to…

Lex’s speed instantly picked up once he exited the park onto the cobblestone road. The style and architecture of the buildings was dramatically different from what Lex was used to on Earth, but he couldn’t be bothered with that now. All he cared about was getting to some place safe. The road, a wide single path cutting through the city, was littered with large rectangular objects Lex could only assume were vehicles, though he saw no tires. There were no windows in the “cars” either so he…

Lex panicked and jumped backwards as fast as he could, quickly transitioning into a run. The hill was covered in tall grass and randomly growing bushes which made it hard for him to run, not to mention the dark making it difficult for him to see. After running for a few moments when he looked back he noticed that the zombies were moving pretty slowly, and he had opened up a gap between himself and the swarm. Now, at a distance, he calmed down a little from his initial panic and his brain started working…

Monday morning Lex arrived at Marlo’s apartment bright and early. He lived in a penthouse downtown Manhattan so it was easy to find. They were all supposed to gather here and then travel together to the location for their next training session. It had to do with surviving in the wild, or something of vaguely that nature as Marlo had not been specific with the details. Lex however arrived an hour earlier than the designated time as he wanted to talk with Marlo alone before the other arrived. Lex was let…

Once the giant man was done laughing he looked at the somewhat defeated faces of his three new students and grinned. “Of course, this definition doesn’t yet apply to you, yet. Right now you are weak. The ideal scenario for you right now is to hole up somewhere and steadily increase your cultivation to Qi training at the very least. Even if you go ahead and join an organization they would not put you through any dangerous situation so as to avoid needless casualties, but life is unpredictable.…

Lex found it hard to believe that the giant in front of him could be so profound, but it was exactly that giant’s life and his words that gave him goosebumps. Dying was easy, living was hard. At first it was a strange thought, but it reminded Lex of all the struggles he’d ever had in life. He recalled the worst and toughest parts of his life. Although his life up till now was very ordinary, no one could claim there weren’t parts of it where he felt very miserable. Living truly was difficult…

“Excellent! EXCELLENT!” the madman roared as patted Lex on the shoulders with gusto, shaking him to his very core. Marlo’s cultivation was definitely very high. “I love it when a masochist joins the class! They have so much energy, so much vigor!” “I’m not a masochist!” Lex quickly defended himself, but Marlo didn’t seem to be paying attention. “You can stop for today, I have other appointments to keep so I have to close down for now. The next class is on Saturday, I hope I’ll see…
