With everything we needed taken care of, we set out on our journey to my hometown. Thanks to the system, I was able to buy any vehicle I wanted. I opted for a motorcycle, a childhood dream of mine. With no other cars on the road, I was free to ride as fast as I wanted. Maki, who was riding behind me, held onto me tightly. She looked adorable with her small hands trying to reach me.
Using the system, I bought a tent and other luxurious items that were impossible to find in the apocalypse. While traveling, I asked Maki to make a device. She agreed and asked for some items that I didn't recognize. I searched for them in the system and found them easily. With the device she was making, we switched to a car.
If we encountered any zombie hordes or broken-down cars on the road, I summoned my Android to deal with them. Our journey was relatively peaceful, and the scenery of the empty roads and clear forests without humans was calming.
However, survival in this world was still difficult. Finding food, water, shelter, and weapons was a daily struggle. Without my power, I might have already become one of the walking dead.
Weeks passed, and we finally arrived at my hometown. The once bustling village was now deserted, near the mountains. It was where I had grown up in an orphanage. Seeing it empty and lifeless was heartbreaking. I ordered my Android to kill any remaining zombies and bury them in the graveyard.
At night, as I sat by the fire, I felt a sense of calm knowing that I had ended the suffering of the people I knew. Looking back, they were the kindest people I had ever known. Unconsciously, a tear slipped from my eye. "What? I'm crying?" Maki woke up and saw me crying. I felt embarrassed and uncool for showing myself in such a state. Would she laugh at me? But then, to my surprise, she hugged me and told me that it was okay to cry. Me, the man who had been lonely for all these years, was allowed to cry. Why had no one ever told me that before? I cried on her shoulder, grateful for her understanding,
but also sad not knowing that this would be the last time I could ever hug her as a human being
