PLAYERS

Germany.

The sun shone brightly on the Moselle River and a boat was steadily moving over it. The fifty-foot blue boat slowly streaked across the middle of the river.

Aboard the boat was a man and three women. The late twenty year old man was over six feet and had blonde hair, blue eyes, a small nose and was wearing a brown suit and was sipping from a glass of wine.

The three ladies were in their early twenties and were all wearing short gowns that stopped above their knees.

The ladies were around him, one of them feeding him wine when he wanted and another one massaging his feet. The last one was busy, seated on his lap and feeding grapes to him.

"Player Status." The blonde haired man ordered.

Klaus glanced through his player status. He had also gotten the system notification and was one of the twenty players left.

Unlike Shiro, he didn't hide his system's existence. All the ladies with him knew.

Seeing his level, he smiled and closed it back. He grabbed the waist of the lady on his lap and pulled her closer to his chest, giving her a tender long kiss.

He turned to the other and gave her her own fair share of the kiss eliciting a blush from her.

He stood up, taking off the top of his suit.

"Let's go inside." He walked into the cabin of the boat with the three ladies walking behind him.

*****

China.

It was the only country with three players in it. One was dead and the other two had become team members.

They got the track skill even earlier than Shiro because their primary mission needed it. Their primary mission was for all three of them to meet each other at a location called the Jin Mao Tower in Shanghai. The skill was given to tell each of them the progress of the other two.

Two had successfully gotten to their destination and the third one died before he could get there.

One of the two surviving players was a twenty year old male named Long Tian while the other was a twenty year old female by the name Huan Mei.

"What do we do next?" Huan Mei asked her partner.

"We're now at level six and our next mission wants us to head to Hong Kong to meet up with someone by the name Long Chen. I suggest that's what we'll do now." Long Tian answered.

The night sky seemed brighter than usual. "The humvee over there seems to be in perfect condition. It'll be great if we drive in that." Long Tian suggested this to his partner.

"Yeah, let's go." She agreed.

"Well, how do I put this?" Shiro kept thinking of how to answer Kohta's question.

"Just make it a summary. That'll be fun to listen to." Kohta seemed interested in Shiro unlike the others.

"Well, Saeko already said it but I'm good with a sword, just like her. My only downfall was my mental strength. I wasn't as brave or courageous as Saeko so the moment this all started, I hid in the toilet..." Shiro started narrating to Kohta but stopped halfway.

"Hehehe… it's okay to be scared. When it started happening in my class, I slowly crept out of the class to hide but Saya caught me. I don't really know if I would be alive right now if she hadn't stopped me." Kohta tried to encourage Shiro and it worked.

Shiro chuckled and continued his narration. "The moment I firmed my resolve to escape, I was greeted by one of those bastards. I couldn't die so I made sure to survive. That poor bastard was the first human or human-like thing I have ever killed. I escaped from the school with Hina but I couldn't just leave the others to die."

"I just summoned courage from who knows where and after we both got good weapons, I decided that we should go back and at least make the school safe for the others. Hina didn't refute so we went."

Seeming to understand what Shiro narrated, Kohta's eyes went wide open and he opened his mouth to ask."So you're saying you both got rid of all of them in your school?"

Shiro's courage kicked in and he smiled as he replied. "Well, I did most of the cleaning but yeah, we both emptied the school and left food for the survivors. When we were leaving, I also tried to pull all the undead around toward me and it worked."

"That's sick!" Kohta exclaimed.

Already yawning, Kohta stood up to walk to his bed. "I'm pretty tired after all that happened today. I'd be happy to hear more about it tomorrow. Good night."

"Sure, good night." Shiro replied and closed his eyes to sleep, hugging his backpack between both arms.

"So, how's Shiro doing?" Saeko asked Hina in their room.

"Well, Shiro is amazing. He does most of the killings."

Saeko couldn't believe what Hina was saying. "Shiro does? That has to be a joke or have you only encountered a few of Them?"

"Well, I didn't believe at first but you'll soon believe since we'll be moving as a team now. Be grateful Shiro agreed to join you guys." Hina chuckled.

Saeko shook her head to correct Hina's words. "The others should be the ones grateful. If Shiro had refused or he wasn't allowed, I would've left with him."

Hina raised an eyebrow. "You love him that much?"

With a nod, Saeko answered Hina's question. "He's the only family I've got left."

With a snort, Hina replied. "Hmmph, he's mine only."

"What does that mean?" Saeko didn't quite get Hina's point.

"Nothing important. I need lots of rest since we had to drive in a car all day." Hina walked to the bed and sat on it.

"Shiro knows how to drive?" Another unbelievable piece of information from Hina.

"He learnt. Now, good night." Hina replied and lay down, closing her eyes.
