" Make run. Don't hesitate, " Stella said as she led everyone out of the auditoriumclassmate towards the cafeteria.
Their plan was of course to farm some zombies and level up.
Alex wasn't with them.
Zombies had flocked at the school building but, there were still some strays at the campus.
Alex perfectly calculated the simple way to reach the Cafeteria safely.
Stella was the first one to move forward, while everyone else followed.
Ron, Miss Drittney, the old man with gun and two other boys were included amongst everyone else.
Stephanie, Stella, Alina and two girls Alex saved were in front.
Soon, they reached the cafeteria.
" They're behind us! " Ron yelled as he went inside.
It was of course impossi to not be chased by zombies as they were passing by them.
" We'll stop them. Arrange the net! " Stella, Stephanie, and others started killing zombies which had reached there first.
The zombies slipped on the few stairs in front of cafeteria making it look as if they were serving their necks to be chopped off.
But, of course they soon tried to instinctively get up on two legs to attack the living.
Stella and others killed some.
But, more were about to come, so they retreated back inside the cafeteria.
Ron and others brilliantly had attached the net to the door.
In the way that all entering zombies had to enter in the net's trap.
Stephanie and others were the same, but they weren't unintelligent like zombies so they easily got out of the net.
" Now start killing them! " Stella once again ordered and eveyrone readied their weapons.
Then started the Exp grinding!
Meanwhile, back at the auditorium Alex was left alone with three girls. It was unfortunate that Ron's girlfriend went with him.
That girl wasn't previously leaving, but somehow she changed her mind at last moment.
But, Alex didn't care as he looked at the three girls here and grinned like a wolf staring at the defenseless sheeps.
" You... Why are you smiling like that... It's creepy, " One of the girls who saw Alex, quickly backed off with a disgusted and slightly fearful look.
With his hair covering his eyes and his pale white countenance, Alex looked nothing short of terrifying. The evil grin only made him more terrifying.
" You all are going to die sooner or later. Your parents must have died as well. They're just poor people who couldn't even afford a chance for their children's lives, " Alex laughed.
" Don't say such things! Everyone here is under stress, " The girl who was in Alex's class said with a pout. She was oldest of three girls.
Alex looked at this girl with amusement. As per his memories he didn't even know this girl's name.
But, he had seen this girl sneaking glances at him since last night when he first met her.
Alex didn't know how, but it seemed that this girl had some good feelings for him.
" Why not to say when we all know that. You shouldn't act bossy as well. Your flesh will be soon eaten by zombies as well. You aren't even level 1 haha, " Alex laughed.
" You're also level 0, " Another girl said.
" I'm level 0, because I can't level up. Unlike you guys who are too afraid to kill zombies, " Alex said.
" Alex! Can you shut up now?! " The girl who was oldest coldly said.
If not for Alex's special place in her heart, she would have broken his jaw for spouting nonsense.
" I don't care if you believ- " Just as Alex was about to take out the gun he had stolen from the old man to threaten these girls and fuck them, a creaking sound was heard by him.
Creak!
The sound came again.
Alex turned around as he took out two knives from his Portable Inventory. His expression was no longer playful ( Evil, in girl's eyes)
" I-It is a... "
" Zombie... "
" Madison really turned... "
The three girls turned pale visually as they saw the zombie which looked just like a normal school girl.
There were some blood stains on the girl's uniform, but her eyes were white and she could be seen gritting her teeth while glaring at Alex and the girls.
Alex narrowed his eyes as he could feel the strength in this one.
This female zombie wasn't like those normal zombies.
Alex didn't know where she came from, but he had a guess.
" I shouldn't have sent them all... Sigh, " Alex sighed as he became ready to fight.
But, just then he heard a silent hoarse voice, " H-Hel-... Kuuuuuuu! " Which was followed by a huge scream.
Alex was stunned, as he used his knives to shield his front.
As soon as the zombie girl appeared in front of him with an inhumane speed, he ducked back just on an instinct while stabbing his knives forward.
The Zombie was fast, even after taking a stab she ran towards Alex as if she couldn't even feel the pain.
Alex gritted his teeth as he dodged and inflicted more damage to the zombie's arms.
He wanted to cut her tendons, so she won't be able to use her full strength to attack him.
Alex knew that it would be hard for him to kill this zombie in frontal fight.
She was a lot stronger than normal zombies. She was also faster!
He needed to destroy her body and then he could with leisure stab his knife inside her skull.
Alex and the zombie girl who seemed to be named Madison kept at it until, Alex had inflicted several deep wounds on her limbs.
Madison seemed to have become zombie just now, as she looked just like a normal girl with disheveled clothes and hair.
She also was beautiful, so more than a zombie she looked like a maniac as she screamed and attacked Alex.
Alex was only surviving by his instinct and experience. His whole body was aching and a normal person wouldn't have been able to fight like that.
But, Alex ignored all pain and kept on inflicting more wounds.
If he stopped, he would die.
So, there was no choice or chance for mistake.
The three girls watched with widened eyes, as the Zombie girl fell to her knees and started crawling towards Alex to bite him.
They couldn't believe their eyes, as his small figure had just fought toe to toe with that monstrosity.
But, just when Alex was about to stab the Zombie girl's skull.
One of the three girls who was oldest, ran forward, " Alex wait! Did you forget?! She is Madison! "
Alex was confused, " So? "
" Alex... How can you forget. Whenever you were hurt she was the one who would come to you, to help you. She liked you, " The girl said with a teary gaze.
Alex focused on his memories and soon found the girl named Madison.
She was gentle and beautiful. Whenever Alex seemed sad, she would try to cheer him up.
Previous Alex couldn't notice, but Alex easily understood her feelings.
She liked Alex. No, she dearly loved him.
As he looked over previous Alex and Madison's interactions, he found out how much affection this girl held for him.
Alex looked deeper into his memories and a blurry scene when his predecessor was very young came to his mind.
As Alex remembered he understood the emotions of this girl named Madison, who had been infected now.
Alex wondered why she wasn't in the Class when he first came in this world.
" But, she is now a zombie, " Alex sighed as he looked down.
He felt overwhelmed with emotions, thinking that such a girl who genuinely loved him won't be able to join his harem.
Alex knew that there was no antidote to this disease, it was an apocalypse.
But, there was a chance for Madison to survive, that was by being one of the irregulars in the World and overcome the virus.
But, Alex didn't have much expectations.
Also, even if someone overcame the virus, it won't mean that vaccine could be created from them.
The Apocalypse will just change the virus pattern slightly and will make it impossible to make a vaccine.
This World wasn't facing a pandemic... But, an Apocalypse.
" A-Alex... " But, as Alex was thinking he was shocked to hear the hoarse voice once again.
He looked down at Madison who had turned into a zombie and was now looking at him with her white pupils.
" P-Please... Kill me yourself, " She begged.
Alex was stunned.
It seemed his luck really travelled with him here.
He just came here and was already able to meet one of the irregulars of this World.
Alex as inwardly felt elated, had a small smile on his face.
He slowly sat down in front of Madison who suddenly tried to move back to not hurt Alex on impulse.
But, Alex touched her cheek gently. Her skin was still soft, but it had some cracks as if she was slowly transforming.
Madison closed her eyelids slowly as she could somehow feel warmth of Alex's hand even from her supposedly dead skin.
A tear escaped her eyes.
" I love you Madison... " But, she just as heard Alex's gentle voice, her heart which should have been started beating.
" Do you love me as well Madison? " Alex asked, his tone still kind and gentle.
" A-Alex... I-I... d-do..." Madison said in the voice that was barely audible.
" Then for me resist it. You can do it. I'm with you. If you aren't able to do it, then I'll die with you as well, " Alex said as he embraced Madison's tall figure.
Alex of course won't die with her, if she was unable to resist.
But, he was 100% sure that she was a irregular. She will resist for sure.
She just needed some Stimulation.
Alex had seen her giving him ways to run away, also he had felt that she was always holding back while fighting him.
He had ignored it then, but now it made sense.
This Madison, she was a powerful irregular.
Irregulars were just residents of the World. With higher potential.
Alex's aunt Alia was also an Irregular, in Alex's world. There was also Hayashi Honoka from Sakura country.
Madison was the third Irregular Alex had met.
Madison struggled to hold out as she kept frowning.
She bit her tongue to keep herself from loosing to the cloudiness that was entering her mind.
She slowly started feeling pain from all over her body.
But, as it happened the struggle on her face multiplied.
She wanted to scream out and end everything.
Kill the one in her arm and eat him, it was her instinct ordering her to.
But, she resisted as Alex patted her head, " You can do it Madison... I believe in you Madison... I love you. "
As he kept spouting nonsense, Alex was always ready to move back at moment's notice.
But, he didn't need to, as his thoughts came true.
Slowly the struggle in Madison's eyes disappeared, as she opened her eyes.
They slowly shrank back, as her pupils returned to the black one.
Her skin became as soft as before. All cracks on her body disappeared.
" You did it, " Alex smiled.
Irregulars were really cheat like existences!
" A-Alex... I'm alive... In your arms... B-But, it hurts... " Madison said as she closed her eyes.
Alex knew that she was talking about the injuries all over her body which started healing slowly.
" It will be alright, " Alex said gently, as he sat there with Madison in his arms.
He looked at three girls who were still stunned.
He had no strength to threaten them now, rather even moving was hard right now.
But, Alex didn't feel disheartened. Having a loyal Irregular was like having the VIP pass or something similar in that World.
Irregulars were bound to rise to the strongest!
Alex could use Madison's momentum to make his forces stronger.
She was simply way too costlier than these three girls in front of him, who were cowards through and through.
" Are you alright? " The girl from Alex's class asked worried.
She had now started seeing Alex in a new light.
" I'm good. Don't tell anyone else about what happened here. Madison was never infected and we found out that and saved her. Do you understand? " Alex asked.
" Yes! " The girl nodded. Other two as well did the same.
After that no one spoke, until after some time when the girl from Alex's class came near Alex and sat besides him.
" Do you need something? " Alex asked.
" May be you don't know my name... So, I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Mana, " Mana said
" I see... " Alex nodded.
" You already have Stephanie right? " Mana asked.
Other two girls as well started paying attention to Alex's answer.
" Yes. She is my girlfriend, " Alex said.
" So, then what about Madison? " She asked.
" Madison will be the same, " Alex casually said.
" Wow... What if Stephanie did not agree? " Mana asked again.
" I'll see that won't happen, " Alex replied.
" Umm... I see... So... You don't mind having more girlfriends? " Mana asked seriously.
" I don't mind, " Alex said as he looked into Mana's eyes with a smile.
Mana blushed, " Then can we be your girlfriends as well? "
" Huh? " The sound of exclamation echoed in the auditorium as even two other girls were stunned alongside Alex.
" What do you mean by 'we'? " Alex asked.
" Exactly as you think. I'm talking about those two as well, " Mana said.
" What about them? " Alex amusedly asked.
Mana turned to two girls who were flustered.
As they remembered how Alex fought Madison, they couldn't help but feel that he was very different than what they imagined.
" You two should understand, in this world we won't be able to survive without relying on someone else... I know, we might not like Alex that much right now. But, who says what's in the future. If we are alive then there are endless possibilities. Being by Alex's side is a lot better than being raped by other dogs. You should have already noticed those vulgar eyes with which those boys including Ron and others look at us, right? " Mana said slowly.
But, her every word was true.
It struck the chord in two girls' mind.
" Y-You might be right. B-But, what's the difference between him and others? " One of the girls asked.
" Are you blind? Didn't you see all girls around Alex? How strong they are? Also, he himself is strong! Okay... If you don't want to do it, them it's okay. I will not force you to follow in my steps, " Mana said as she sat down closer to Alex.
" N-No... I'm ready... To be Alex's girlfriend... " One of the two girls said.
The other one also gave into peer pressure.
Typical 15 year olds.
Alex just hoped that their pussies were tight enough to make up for their naivety.
Alex now didn't need girls because he already had a foothold with Stephanie and Stella.
He also believed that the chances of Alina betraying him were tough.
Other two girls under Stephanie were also loyal to him completely.
" You made a good decision. I'll not touch you two, until you're ready for it yourself. Mana, you will be their superior from here on, " Alex said to Mana.
" Huh? Thank you Alex... " Mana sighed thinking that Alex won't touch her either.
" That's not for you Mana, as my girlfriend you'll have to serve your boyfriend's needs, " Alex smirked as he hugged Mana and kissed her lips.
Mana wanted to struggle for a moment but she then gave up.
When she decided to become Alex's, she already decided to give him her virginity.
Alex gently let Madison lie on the floor.
As he delved deeper into the lips of his classmate.
