"Go time." I sprinted ahead, the first zombie coming over was met with a punch. Another jumped at me from the ground. I immediately hopped and stepped on its head. In a single leap, I jumped on the head of the swat guy and kicked off once more. My feet dived into the bent sign board as I held its top with my hand. "There we go." —CLANG! CLANG! The sign board bent and the pole broke in half. I slid off, kicked it up, and held it in my hand. "GRAAA!" The zombies came howling at me,…-

Wait here. I had told the hero as I went into the offense, ready to face off against the police zombies below. Exactly one was in a raid costume and the rest were dressed like normal cops. I could look into the slimes' store for more weapons or whatever I would need but for now, I had to play it differently. I couldn't rely on that thing for the same reason that I didn't want to use the stat or skill points or whatever. In any case, losers had to worry about things. People like me, all normal…

I got off the debris, picked up the slime and shoved it in my pockets, next to the cigarettes. "Let's go to those bunkers I told you. I remember my dad once talked about one in Central Darma." Ternet was a large country, but it was still pretty young. My dad wanted to show the government who's boss and had attacked most of their bunkers, but this one was slightly special even by his standards since it was simple yet loaded. We hopped over the ground, the red tint of the skies was slowly fading…

I quickly tapped around on the blue windows. "Attribute Window." The attributes opened up. Next to my name was a small plus button that I had seen before. As I tapped on it, the option to create a party appeared. It showed me a small map of all the people around in an eyeshot, including the critters currently hiding away from the debris. Screams and blares had started once more as the many dead came back to life, but that mattered little to me. I had things to do here. Well, of course, I was…

21 levels. Strange. Was twenty-one levels good or bad? I couldn't tell. I might just have to test it out on some people and ensure that I could make something of it. "Hey, asshole, what level are you?" "Um, it says fifteen." The hero had gone up by a fair amount too, what the heck? "You didn't even kill many?" The hero shrugged at my words. "They all had other people coming at them so I got to drench my hands easy a bit." "How many?" "Around 30?" Hmm, the math would…

The hour passed and I returned to the spot where the Hero and I were to meet. It was a fun little excursion that piled me about 20 more kills on top of the thirty-two. With the hounds and the big bad mutt as well, I had roughly 59 kills on my hand. It wasn't bad. The hero came over too, not too far behind him but still fairly far away I could see about 12 people standing behind him far into the debris. "You're late," I said. The hero immediately prostrated in front of me. "I beg your…

Nearing the debris was the same old hero, ow completely tired and covered in dust. I slowly hopped up the small mountain of debris that the falling building had formed and ealked over to the hero. "Hey, I got a booster for getting rid of the mist…" "Yup, I got one too, don't worry." The hero tilted his head. "What did you do?" "Dropped some buildings on the safe zones. I thought it would only happen an hour later, but the safe zones disappeared too soon." Oh. That meant another…

The cigarette rolled and flipped through the air. The extreme gas leak had filled every spot till the barrier's extension. Just before coming here to the old building, we had done the same thing. Though the gas wasn't enough, the moment a safe zone was not safe from the inside, it was immediately replaced. It was made clear with an explosion. Similar to the one that was about to happen now. Though the mutt stood right in front of me, I cared not. My eyes were on the hero, and the hero's eyes…

The map of the apocalypse area was open wide in front of my eyes. Almost yawning, I continued smoking the cigarette as I hopped from alley to alley with the hound following me. Was the being chasing after my ass dangerous? Sure was. Was it also a fucking weak mutt? Sure as hell was. The map showed the many different safe spots on the way to the end where I had sent Relafan to. He would handle it well enough for the mutt to die inside, but I did think I should be giving him some time. "GRAA!"…

The hero and I separated. Fifteen minutes of immunity and then about two hours of lasting in the mist. That was our current limit, but just a single hour was enough to make us fall to a near death state. I slowly crawled out of the alleys and the debris as I looked ahead. Cigarette still stuck in between my lips, I looked at the giant hound not that far away. Right. I was going to take down the hound. I reached the remains of the building and picked up a stone first. The small slab of debris…
