Close Call

In the Whitehox Territory , dilapidated buildings were all over the area , although the street was quiet and only Zombies can be seen around , there was a young man fighting against those Zombies .

"Shit"

Sagar curses unrestrainedly , while fighting against those Zombies using his steel rod , he escapes .

On the street where there were few destroyed vehicles parked , hordes of Zombies were swarming on Sagar .

The street was tightly packed , hundreds of Zombies were going rampage on him .

Sagar does his best to flee but the speed of those Zombies were also not so simple , their speed was comparable to him .

Currently the swarm of Zombies were similar to a horror movie , they were crawling and running all over the walls and street .

Sagar was surrounded by hundreds of Zombies right now , experiencing a dire situation .

"What is going on ?"

He frowns and slash his steel rod , slamming the head of the Zombie with all his might .

It has been more than a month since Sagar has been staying in Whitehox Territory but this is the first time he has faced such tribulation.

He frowns , the only thing that he remembers is that there were gunshots around the Whitehox Territory , this also heralds the beginning of Zombie swarm .

"This is all caused by those gunshots , maybe those other survivors have already arrived Whitehox Territory and must have decided to stay here seeing the safety of this area "

Sagar grits his teeth , suddenly a Zombie jumps on him but Sagar hammers his steel rod on that Zombie , perfectly landing a critical hit on his head .

But because of sudden force , he was pushed back , the water that was jammed on the street after the rain was stomped by his right foot .

Splash 

The water splashes and splatters everywhere , yet a burning sensation hits Sagar's skin .

"Damn , it is hot "

Sagar grits his teeth yet ignoring all those burning sensation and exhaustion , he continues to escape while fighting against those Zombies .

After the beginning of the Apocalyptic Era , everything has changed .

The rain that used to be cold and beautiful has now turned into a blazing and burning shower of flame .

Although those burning drops of flame are still in the form of water and liquid, the affinity stored within those raindrops are but a disastrous cataclysm.

Subsequently , the forest close to the city and those vegetation around in the area have all fallen to become a victim , perishing into ashes .

"Graaa"

A Zombie launches on him but Sagar runs as fast as he can toward a 8 feet tall wall , he jumps on the wall , climbing on the wall , he jumps on the other side .

But even so , those Zombies keep on following him , each of those Zombies behind in line starts to slowly climb on the body of their colleagues , wanting to walk through their body to chase Sagar .

Sagar does not waste his time and continues to run away , but he is a human after all so how long can he even run for ?

He was starting to feel his energy and stamina getting drained , exhausted from fighting and running away , he was falling in despair.

His advantage is his Magic but he knows that , using his Magic against hordes of hundreds of Zombies is nothing but just walking closer to death .

After all , even if he was to use his Magic , at most he can only cause two or three Zombies to fall .

After that , his Mana would become emptied , directly affecting his energy and stamina .

His body will become fatigued ,with time he will experience sapping .

Sagar grits his teeth and continues to run away but soon he finds something that causes him to feel as if God was watching over him .

There was a rundown garage close to the street , turning back he saw that those Zombies had not arrived yet .

He soon runs to that garage and enters inside , he can see many unrepaired bikes and cars , tempoo and scooter .

There were lots of equipment normally found in the garage , causing Sagar to search for a repaired vehicle or some tools that can aid him in his current situation.

But no , there was nothing that can help him with his current situation.

He was disappointed but he didn't lose his hope , because of this garage an idea came to his mind .

"How about I run in all those buildings while searching for a transportation tool "

With that in his mind , Sagar continues to run here and there while escaping from Zombies .

Once a Zombie becomes aware of your existence , it is hard for you to escape from them .

It is as if they have left a mark on your body which reveals to them about your position.

Sagar was disappointed , although his plan to search those buildings for a transportation tool was good and all but his luck seemed to be playing jokes on him .

Those Zombies finally began to reappear , each of them were ferocious and dangerous .

Sagar continues to run away , until even if he was running away from Zombie it was still a situation where he had the chance of escaping.

But soon he felt the sky darkening , those dark clouds starting to rumble and play destructive drums up in the sky .

"Shitty thing , am I truly an unlucky bastard ?"

Sagar couldn't help but ask himself , he feels as if he was born with the curse of Heaven .

His luck seems to have depleted during his birth , otherwise why would he be so unlucky .

Even during the time before the Apocalyptic Era , everyone used to tell him that he had low luck .

Even when he used to buy lottery tickets , he would not even win a single lottery out of a hundred tickets .

This was not all , those that needed luck to win , if he was to participate in those games , he would always come out as a loser .

There was an uncle in his village , back in Jhapa , he was blessed by luck .

Everytime that uncle played a card with his friends , he would always come victorious.

But the day that uncle came in contact with Sagar , that uncle has even lost his land and ancestral inheritance , causing that uncle to become a madman who keeps on yelling out for Sagar .

Sagar continues to curse under his breath , this situation was something which even a protagonist of a horror movie would never go through .

Soon , the calamitous drizzle from the sky started to rain , causing those on the land to take shelter under a roof .

Of course the atmosphere was strangely cold, similar to Antarctica .

Although those raindrops were overflowing with fire affinity , the atmosphere was peculiarly cold in contrast to those burning raindrops .

Those drizzles land on Sagar's body , blessing him with pain and torment .

His white shirt and black pants with sport shoes was also starting to burn a little , his body was receiving burn marks on his body .

Tightly frowning , he decides to hide in one of the buildings , and randomly decides to jump in a building without wasting his breath .

When he entered the building , he found everything dark and was blinded by darkness .

Those Zombies on the other hand seem to stop , although they don't feel those burning sensation , they are still getting affected by those calamitous raindrops .

Of course , Sagar only has his steel rod right now. In a hurry , he didn't have the opportunity to bring anything with him .

He blindly walks around the building , plastering his hand on the wall as he tries to search for the buttons for light .

Of course , even after finding those buttons , he failed to turn on the lights.

Electricity has long been destroyed by the calamity. 

After giving up , he starts to search and walk around , his legs would kick on some objects , since it was dark he didn't know what they were.

Finally after who knows how long , he finally saw a room that had light coming .

Although those windows of the building seem to be open but because of the dark clouds and the heavy rain , everything was dark .

But this room seems to have light brightening the room but Sagar didn't dare to approach that said room. 

Because he felt like there is a human like him , someone who has taken shelter here .

Sagar frowns and becomes cautious .

Whoosh 

Suddenly without any warning , he was attacked by someone in the dark , causing his right shoulder to erupt with pain .

Although he can't see his right shoulder, he can feel that his blood is bleeding dangerously .

"Shit "

Sagar grits his teeth , he becomes vigilant , in this darkness , no in this darkness which must have been deliberately made by someone , there is an assailant .

Whoosh

Soon another attack was charged on him , his left arm also was injured , causing his left arm to suffer tormenting pain .

"This— shit "

Sagar does not know what is going on but he can't take the risk of staying in this darkness .

He suddenly starts to think about his situation and tries to come up with the solution .

There is a room surrounded by darkness , through that room a light is coming out .

It means that only that room has the light where he can fight this assailant but it could be a trap set by this assailant.

If he rashly runs to that room , maybe a hidden trap will bite him and tear him into pieces , not even giving him an opportunity to regret .

But if he does not risk himself to run for that room , he will definitely get killed by this assailant.

Whoosh

Once again he was attacked in the dark ,but this time a sharp pain invaded his stomach , the sharp weapon must have cut his muscles.

An intense pain was starting to build in his body , his eyes were losing focus while his breath started to distort .

' No , this is not the time to overthink about the situation '

Sagar shakes his head , his eyes become serious and his senses are alerted .

Judging from the current situation , this assailant must be someone proficient in darkness or someone that has the ability to see in dark .

He grits his teeth, shuts his eyes , when he shuts his eyes his sense amplified .

[ Magic Sense ]

After learning mediation and doing much research , he has learned Magic Sense that can enchant his senses .

He can sense anything that is close to 3 feet in diameter with ease , although his Magic Sense isn't too powerful , in times like this , it is extremely useful .

Whoosh 

He felt it , someone's hand seemed to be closing the distance between his or her hand and his chest , aiming on his heart with a sharp and long object .

Sagar takes the action , directly grabbing that sharp weapon with both hands while his steel rod falls on the floor .

"Sword "

Sagar was surprised , he thought that the assailant was attacking him with a knife but it turned out to be a sword .

After grabbing the sword , he tightens and firms his grip , not letting the sword move .

His skins were starting to get pressed by those sharp blades , causing his palm to tear open their skin and muscles , followed by fresh blood gushing out and dripping all over his arm .

"Shit "

He was growing weaker and weaker , his head was becoming dizzy and his vision was unclear .

"Haa !!"

He shouts out loud and pulls the sword , in return the person who was holding the sword was also pulled by him .

Soon a human body collided with him , he was about to punch that assailant but he was surprised .

Pair of soft water balloons seem to have pressed on his chest while a flowery fragrance of a rare yet beautiful flower dominates his nostril.

The body of this assailant was soft and curvaceous , this assailant seemed to have long hairs freely falling down .

Although he can't see this person, he grabs the assailant and throws him or her away exerting all his strength .

He turns around and wants to leave but soon his vision collapses , his consciousness faints .

His body falls and lands on the floor , causing him to fall unconscious .

When he is unconscious , a human silhouette in the dark observes him for a long time before lowering his or her head to look at his or her hands .

The palm that was originally gripping on the hilt of the sword was now trembling , resulting in a frown .

" Strange , although I am a Dark Knight that is supposed to have both strength and ability to become one with the darkness while overwhelming ordinary humans and even causing monsters to retreat , this man still defeated me in term of arm-strength '

"How strange , more than that , he was already exhausted when he entered the building "

"Is this man a Berserker ? Or someone who has awakened a Cosmic Profession related to overwhelming strength and power ?'

The voice  of this human silhouette was hard to distinguish , there was a strange charm in the voice which seemed to belong to the world of darkness. 

The human looks at Sagar with a strange light in his or her eyes , doing his or her best not to overthink but Sagar's overwhelming strength still leaves him or her stunned .

How can she know that Sagar has been training himself with both physical training and magic training .

He even has trained himself while shooting his Magic Missiles on himself , experimenting with his body to cultivate with Mana .

Tempering himself with whatever resources he has , that is also why a Dark Knight like him or her could not overwhelm Sagar .

With an interest in eyes , the human hiding in the dark decides to help Sagar .

"Maybe I can team up with him , sigh "
