Family

It turned out Sora pretty much had 7 abilities, from the skill [Supreme Ruler Of The Undead]. the ability to take control of other undead, although Sora didn't know if this was an ability all Necromancer had, so it was not listed above.

Anyways, Sora realized that going home now was going to be troublesome, he was drawing undead towards him. but this wasn't a bad thing as he went on to take the chance to rest his mind, and using MP and mental power, he took control of the undead which were coming towards him, while taking the crystals in the heads of the few animals that came.

when he was too low on energy to take control of the undead, he had the ghost deal simply kill the undead, the ghost Deer attacked the soul, or could even take over an undead body, so its power was something the undead were helpless against.

Soon, Sora got a good idea of the ranking of the stats. at rank 0, it was for those who don't have an average stat of 10. a stat of 11 seems to be the level for rank 2. It was possible to increase on stat through hard work and such, Sora draining his MP and Intelligences, they managed to increase by 1. but it was far faster to simply absorb crystal.

Sora found that the crystal didn't simply help in improving his intelligence stats, or help in helping a person rank up. it was more complex, it was like it was freeing the mind from its limitations. This got Sora thinking of limitations on a person's body, if ranks were related to something like this, then he could understand a few things about the future ranks.

In the end, Sora managed to absorb only 5 crystals, by which point he had over 30 undead under him. 7 birds, 13 Deer, 1 Bear, 3 hawks, 2 Owls, and 5 wild boars. alone this was a small army, and most of the undead around him was at rank 1, with only the flying type or small animals being rank 0.

while on top of the Bear, Sora rushed back home while the birds under him watched the area, warning Sora of undead which were nearby, which the 3 Hawks would take carefully. the Owls had a sharp hearing and would also alert Sora of anything. They were undead, they seemed to know what Sora wanted and worked to the best of their capability to do so. it's not like they were smarter or anything, they just did what they were told, although if too complex they would not know what to do.

anyways, Sora soon arrived at a neighborhood, where he saw many humans who were turned into Zombies walking around with blank looks, but upon sensing Sora, they all turned towards him, walking towards Sora.

this neighborhood was a place filled with mostly militaries, on each block, were huge houses, but the once peaceful place was overrun with zombies, be it children or the old, many have transformed.

Sora look around them, trying to find his wife or daughter anywhere, but they were not there. Sora looked closely and saw that a few of the zombies here were transformed into Zombies, most likely they were injured and transformed into a zombie.

Sora looked around and had the undead with skills he thought could be useful to become undead under him, this caused him to be tired, but it was worth it for these skills, although many were F-tier skills, with some E and D-tier skills among them.

"Kill," Sora ordered, and with that, his undead jumped into the crowd of humans, killing those who he had no use. Sora felt nothing see all of this, he simply did what he thought would lead to the least trouble, and it kind of scared him slightly.

Sora rushed towards his house, and upon arriving, he quickly pulled out his key and opened the door. he rushed into the house and ignored the strong smell in the house, but he quickly came to a stop when he saw a gun aimed at his forehead.

"Don't you know how to speak? I almost blew your brains out." a beautiful woman said with long blonde hair, and beautiful blue eyes said with a frown while lowering the gun. this woman was none other than Sora's wife, Sora let out a soft sigh seeing she was slight,

"where Lisa?" Sora asked softly, Lisa was his daughter,

"She was playing outside when it began raining blood, I had to run out there to get her. She is asleep in the living room." She said calmly while looking behind Sora, to see the animals killing the humans, she calmly clicked the gun and looked at Sora

"where were you for the past 3 days?" She asked calmly, making Sora's lips twitch slightly, and seeing that reaction, she pointed at him.

"were you cheating?" She asked stunning Sora who quickly shook his head. he was not a cheater, that was the last thing he would

"I was in the cabin, I was going to stay here for only one day, but I ended up getting drunk and hitting many heads on a table, leading me to call for an ambulance to come to get me, but it never came because of the blood rain." He said with a sigh, making her lower the head slightly.

"If you want alone time so badly, just say it. As long as you not sticking your stick in someone else, I could care less... well, let's not test and see if I have other bottom lines." She said calmly while pulling another gun which she threw at him.

"After the blood rain stopped, those who were touched by it began turning into zombies. Lisa and I are alright, although I don't know about you. you look like a zombie, but at the same time don't. what happened to your hair, why are you so pale?" She asked calmly, it was only that Sora remembered his appearance had changed, yet she knew who was without trouble.

"I gained an ability which turned me into an undead, I can also control them..." Sora said calmly while looking at her to see her reaction. She frowned slightly at Sora's words, and after placing a palm on his head, she nodded as he was cold.

"Should I kill you?" She asked calmly while clicking the gun once more. leaving Sora speechless,

"I have full control, and I'm not a zombie. I don't know if blowing up my head would kill me, my race is Undead, thats all I know. so I'm still myself," Sora said calmly, she frowned for a moment. if Sora a risk to their daughter, although unwilling she would not think twice to put a bullet in between his forehead.

She put the gun away and began sharing information on what they could gather. Zombies could smell or sense those who are living, so she had spread the whole house to see if it could get the undead to stay away, luckily it did.

Ability: [Elemantal Manplulation] [Analyze]

She had gained a C-tier ability, which was the same tier as the first ability Sora had gotten before it evolved. [Elemantal Manplulation] allowed her to control the elementals, this could allow her to summon them or control what's already around her

what Sora found interesting was that although she had an Analyze ability, it was different from his [Greater Analyze]. hers was a D-tier ability, while he was a C-tier ability. they shared information on what they gained from using Analyze, Sora's information was more detailed, and Sora found out that he could even ask questions and [Geater Analyz] would answer them, although not all of them.

it was also that Sora found that he could Analyze the area around them, giving him a 3rd image of his surrounding, although his higher reflected on his intelligence stats, the higher it, the longer he could keep this mental image up, the more detail it could be, and the greater the range.

after talking, Sora went to check up on his daughter, she was only 5 years old. She awakened the ability [Holy Light] a D-rank ability, this ability was mostly used for healing, although it could be used to attack unholy things. the degree of healing wasn't great, but for deep cuts, this skill would become useful. although Sora was not planning on ever allowing her or his wife to get injured.

"Alright, as an undead, I don't need water, food, or air. you two do, or first thing is to make sure we have clean water and food." Sora said as he went to his fridge, which he moved out of the way to reveal a hidden room. he wanted to use a key and went on to see his collections of guns and ammo

"... if this was not happening, I would have had you arrested," Emily said with a cold look, Sora smirked slightly at her words, as he had so easily guessed he was not regressed for him to have so many types of guns.

"I have to thank you, Dad, where would I have found some of these babies?" He said with a smile, making her snort slightly. Sora was a part of the army for a few years before he left, Sora fought alongside her father, he only came out of the army to get married although that marriage didn't last before he remarried soon after with her.

"load as much as you can into the car, the undead under me would be making sure to other undead near this place. we need to go make sure your parents are safe." Sora said calmly, to which Emily nodded slightly

"... I have no interest in saving your sister. but if you want, I will go." Sora said without needing to be around to see her having a hesitating look. her little sister was Sora's first wife, but it didn't end well, and after a few things happened Sora ended up remarrying her.

"... no, let's think of this as those novels we read. So, soon or later people would be gathering together to form organizations and stuff. there might even be a chance that the blood rain would come again. we stay outside as much as we can, try and get the full 24 hours of the blood rain, second, we go around to each house to collect everything we could. As for having those few who live to join us... we stay alone." She said calmly after some thought,

"the true nature of humans would begin to show, it would become a free for all soon, and only when one raise to take the potion of a leader would everyone start to calm down. but living outside also has its drawbacks, would bugs have transformed as well? what about the illnesses, there are so many things to worry about. food and water might be the easy stuff." She said softly to which Sora frowned slightly as she had a point.

the zombie was not their only enemy, hell the animals which might evolve might not be their only enemy. the humans around them would be, some would throw everything away for a chance to taste a drop of water. some might drink other human blood, and eat their flesh when pushed into a corner.

"that voice said we exist in the center of existences... could other worlds be merging? does this mean other universes are being pulled toward ours? the changes this brings would be huge, so we should try and grow strong as soon as we can. the few people we have to worry about the better. you got the number parts, I can take care of the power parts, and Lisa has the healing part. now, we should collect those crystals and start ranking up. the faster the better. Dad can take care of himself for a few days, he is only 50 minutes away, let's make sure we take care of ourselves before taking care of anyone." She said with a smile, to which Sora nodded.

so, they went side where Sora told the human undead to bring him the crystals from the zombie's head. the humans had higher intelligence stats than animals, so the chances for them having a crystal was high. in no time, 10 crystals were collected, which he split evenly with Emily.

Sora eats his, followed by a slightly unwilling Emily. but after eating them and feeling her mind clear, the unwillingness disappeared, as she eat all 5 of hers. Sora then went around checking the body of each undead and went to look at the undead hours, but he soon stopped before a house that had a garden.

going into the garden he used his [Greater Analyze], and the sight which he saw shocked him.

{Name: Mutated Carrot.

Grade: D tier

....

ability: those who eat this carrot would have their eyesight increased. a total of 10 carrots would give the highest effect of 20/5 vision. in other words, what looks clear to normal humans at 5 feet would look clear to you at 20 feet.}

Sora was stunned, carrots were capable of giving a person the eyesight of a hawk, he looked at the other vegetable in the garden, and each of them had its ability, some could increase intelligence stars, some could increase strength, health, MP, and so on. this was a gold mine

He quickly called for Emily he rushed over, she was not disgusted by the blood, her father had taken her hunting as a kid and she had seen many blood scenes. anyways, seeing the vegetable, she too was shocked and quickly helped Sora collect them. they didn't want the undead to be near these vegetables out of fear they might do something to them,

Anyways, she returned home after a few minutes, only to fear the cries of a scared little girl, it was only then they remembered they left their daughter home alone. they quickly rushed back and found Lisa had locked herself away in her room, where she was crying for them to come to save her.

Sora smirked slightly as he was about to do something, but he stopped when he got a cold glare from Emily. Sora was the type of father who would have his daughter watch a scary movie and have her sleep alone... only for them to be unable to sleep and end up secretly entering their room to sleep.

Emily quickly had Lisa open the door, which she did fearfully. and upon seeing it was them, she jumped into their arms. with tear-filled eyes, she quickly explained how she saw the zombies outside,

"Yup, the devil is turning people into zombies. But some god gave us the superpower to fight and protect each other, while he makes the devil pay." Emily said with a smile while creating flames on her palm, shocking Lisa who was scared slightly, leading her to look for the lighter which she couldn't find.

"... are we going to be alright then?" Lisa asked softly, to which Sora nodded slightly.

"I scared away all the monsters that try to hunt this house, whats a little devil going to do to me," Sora asked to which Lisa nodded while looking at Sora as if he was a hero, which annoyed Emily. they were not that religious, about all that just happened, a person start second-guessing their belief

"you need not worry about the zombies, your souls have been taken away by god. All that remains is a monster that wants to eat brains, so it can take your soul. but god would never allow that, so your soul instantly goes to heaven." Sora said calmly, leaving Emily speechless, was this lying not going too far, she rather eases her daughter into the truth, meanwhile, Sora would pull all types of shit out of his ass and feed her.
