Justice In The Apocalypse

Save The Dragon! - Chapter 9 "Justice In The Apocalypse"

<Alexander's Pov>

This feels surreal... Is this even happening or am I tripping balls?

---⥼＜This Is As Real As It Gets＞⥽---

Nice to know you can have opinions.

---⥼＜That Wasn't An Opinion, It Was A Fact＞⥽---

System, are you gay?

---⥼＜We Lack Gender And Thus Is Incapable Of Homosexuality＞⥽---

So you're a lesbian, got it.

---⥼＜You Are Advised To Find Other Humans To Socialize With And Stop Pretending To Have A Meaningful Conversation With Us＞⥽---

'All my friends are dead, System. I will not get more friends just to watch them die again' I responded.

...Anyways, System a lesbian confirmed?

Oh, I really am tripping balls.

'...Guess I have no other choice then' I thought as I picked up my backpack and hunting rifle and then got out of the bunker.

I knew that something like the Advent would inevitably happen someday, So I prepared a bunker in case of such an event... Didn't think it would be used so soon though.

Speaking of the Advent... It just happened so abruptly, one minute I was having a drink with the boys, then the next minute, everything was going to shit.

'I never knew I was capable of killing a person so easily... though it probably helped that he looked like an upright hippo-dear' I mentally said as I thought about Mark.

Anyways, I exited the bunker (Which was right beside my house) and then checked the surroundings to make sure no one witnessed that, luckily no one did.

I held the rifle closely as I slowly sneaked across the pavement, using the abandoned cars as cover.

Eventually, I managed to stumble across a supermarket.

"No way that's not already looted" I commented quietly

But perhaps I could still find something there so I went in.

The interior of the supermarket was poorly lit, with only sunlight illuminating the eerie aisle, which made sense considering the electricity went off a while ago. Countless products were knocked over and trashed, there was barely anything edible in the fresh foods section.

"The looters really did this place dirty..." I said as I slowly walked to the canned foods section.

But he didn't find any food, instead, he found...

"Is that...?" It was a torn-up corpse of a young girl.

Alexander took a breath as he tightly gripped his rifle, attempting to calm down.

"Why the hell is the corpse not eaten...?" I muttered. At least from my observation, all the Mutants seem to kill for food... or something like that. But this young girl was mostly intact, only lacking her left ear. this meant that whoever killed her... did it for sport.

"Fucking serial killers..." I was quite familiar with the behavior of serial killers. after all, I 𝘋𝘪𝘥 manage to uncover the identity of one... 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺, I never managed to actually find out who he truly was... He just killed himself one day and we could never identify the corpse, we just knew it was him.

I decided to take a closer look at the body, perhaps there were still clues as to why some sicko wanted to kill a child.

But my heart almost fell out when I realized it.

There was a peculiar smell around the lower part of the body, one that I was all too familiar with. after all, I was a man and I did have wet dreams...

I almost puked.

"Fucking hell... Even Butcher wasn't this disgusting..." Kylar Butcher only killed those he deemed useless to or negatively impacted society, he never did anything inappropriate with the body, he just killed people out of some twisted sense of righteousness.

"With pleasure..."

"Don't do it" I said.

"Lezduit!" The Mutant replied.

"Reynard, no!" I stated.

"Ren, yes!" The Mutant said back as he proceeded to swallow a whole pack of chili dust.

The Mutant's face instantly soured as smoke came out of his mouth and nostrils.

"You're fucking stupid" I stated.

"And you big stupid" Reynard replied.

"I'm Omniscient" That was a lie, I held control over another part of the Omni-spectrum... A part of it.

"Omniwhat?" Reynard asked.

"Omnimyass, Just drink some of this..." I said as I handed him a low-quality water bottle that I created.

To my utter not-surprise, he couldn't figure out how to open the damn thing, so he just threw it into his mouth and swallowed.

Reynard visibly choked afterward.

"I bet they call you and your last brain cell, the 𝘋𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦 𝘛𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘦" I couldn't help but mutter out of frustration.

"𝙇𝙖𝙯𝙖𝙧𝙪𝙨: 𝘼𝙣𝙣𝙞𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚" I commanded to which the world answered by completely destroying the plastic and letting the water flow inside Reynard's throat.

---⥼＜You care too much for theatrics＞⥽---

Shut up, no one asked.

"Draco! What water is this? So good!" Reynard exclaimed.

"It is the blood of an Oriental Flood Dragon, made in the image of water" This was also a lie, it was just extremely dirty water that I specifically made to taste like the blood of those glorified carp fishes.

---⥼＜Do you want an achievement for that little lie?＞⥽---

Why not?

◇─◇─◇─◇─◇─◇─◇─◇─◇─◇─◇─◇─◇

You didn't even put any effort into it!

---⥼＜It Is Unwise To Waste Time On Unproductive Tasks＞⥽---

Unproductive!? You think attending to me is unproductive!?

---⥼＜It Is, The Others Are So Much More Agreeable And Less Erractic＞⥽---

I find that very hard to believe.

"Dragons taste good! Draco, your name sound like Dragon... Do 𝘺𝘰𝘶 taste good?" Reynard asked.

"Sorry bud, my flesh tastes like nothing... believe me I've tried it myself" This was a lie, I didn't have flesh. Such things were unnecessary for a being like me...

"Nothing? What that taste like? Ren wants to try it!" The Mutant demanded

"No"

===

Writing is hard... if you're an idiot that is. It's unfathomably easy, I'm just too lazy to do it on a regular basis.

But perhaps some motivation can help... And what I mean by that is...

STONES, WHERE STONES BRUH!?
