The Human Giant

There is always the desire to be the strongest, the fastest, the smartest, and to reach the apex of everything. To some, they believe that talent determines everything. To others, hard work is more important. For many to reach the apex of any field a combination of talent, hard work, and determination is needed. In a world where powerful demons, unkillable immortals, and strange monsters ran amok. Where human lives were treated on the same level as ants. Yoze, a young man who had transmigrated from Earth to this dangerous world could only rely on his hard work, strong will, and his cheat, the Second Best System to that makeup for his lack of talent and resources. With his desire to improve his family's life and his ambition to surpass human limits, he set his eyes on passing the Scholar exam as he took his first step toward dominating the world. Whether it was humans, demons, monsters, immortals, or gods they all were within his sights and would soon become a stepping stone for his rise to excellence. "You are a genius of 1000 years. Okay, I'm a genius of 900 years. I'll surpass you in three years." "You are the most talented runner in the world. That's okay, I'm fine with being the second most talented runner but I bet I can surpass you in three months." "Having the most talent doesn't mean anything unless you use it. You are born with talent. I earned it. You are afraid of demons while I cherish seeing every demon." Yoze smiled as he looked at the nine-headed immortal under his feet. "I heard that Immortals can't die. Let's test that rumor." As Yoze advanced on his journey he slowly discovered that there was no supreme power system or logic that this strange world followed. Whether the Spiritual Energy that the demons monopolized, the Crystal Energy that could create entire worlds, or the Inner Vigor that humans held close to their hearts. Yoze was determined to become the master of them all!

Chapter 26: Two Headed Mutated Zombie

For the first few hours Yoze wandered around the town with caution and only moved through places he saw there weren't any zombies. However as time passed on, Yoze realized that these zombies had two modes of Sensing him. The first was sound and the second was through sight.

Anytime Yoze entered the visible range of a zombie they would rush at him at terrifying speeds. One time Yoze simply walked up behind a zombie and stood a mere few inches away from the zombie and it didn't have a reaction at all.

Yoze figured that if it was an ordinary person or a martial artist who didn't practice a movement technique to reduce the sound of their footsteps these zombies would have had a much easier time finding him. It would have made the situation before much more dangerous as more and more zombies would have been attracted.

It was possible that the zombies' footsteps could have attracted the whole town. Even though Yoze was confident in his ability to beat the zombies he had little confidence that he could challenge a whole town with deadly zombies.

As long as Yoze maintains a trace of caution to avoid areas that zombies could be hidden and possibly see him, he found that he wasn't in much danger.

"I might not be in much danger at the moment but I really want to find those mutated zombies. Their talents must be some of the better ones to have mutated." Yoze thought to himself not feeling satisfied with the talent he acquired from the Mutated Zombie as he only received it as a grade 1 talent receiving only a 20 percent boost.

He felt like he could find one that had a greater ranked talent and improve the one he already had. Yoze figured that he might not even need to fight another Mutated zombie as he could use his quiet footsteps to approach them from behind, copy and leave without making a fuss.

Yoze also knew he had a few attempts at finding the talents of the undead. It would take at least a day or two for the soldiers and guards of Jade City to react and prepare for an attack at Emerald Town meaning that Yoze had from now to then to copy the talents of the undead.

He eventually found another Mutated Zombie at the town center. It was smaller and more lean compared to the first Mutated zombie that Yoze had encountered. But this zombie had another head resting on his shoulders. The Death armor that covered its entire body made it so that it was difficult for Yoze to tell which direction it was facing.

However, Yoze figured it out and walked closer to the mutated zombies from behind to try and get a better look at how Death Armor looked up close. When Yoze silently stepped out of his hiding spot behind the Mutated Zombie Yoze found himself in the air as his legs automatically jumped as high as they could.

Looking down, Yoze saw that below him was the Two Headed Mutated Zombie and with its hand stuck inside a wall.

Yoze's pupils contracted as he didn't know how the mutated zombie could have sensed him. His steps were extremely quiet and he had made sure to avoid its line of vision.

Still his caution was all for moot as the two head mutated zombie discovered him the moment he stepped out.

Not only that it seemed that this mutated zombie was even faster than the last one even moving so fast that Yoze didn't even see it move. It was as if it had teleported.

If it wasn't for Yoze's Legs moving on their own before he even knew the danger he was in, Yoze's heart would have been plucked out of his chest.

"Damn!"

Yoze gritted his teeth in anger as he pushed his Inner Vigor to activate. Within a split second Yoze went from a weight of around three hundred pounds of meat dozens of feet into the air to a five hundred pounds of meat dozens of feet into the air.

Yoze was planning on crushing the two headed mutated zombie from the force that came from him falling straight on top of the Two Headed Mutated Zombie.

The two headed mutated zombie stared at Yoze who was falling like a several hundred pound meteor with no sense of danger and waved its free hand at Yoze.

"Bang! Cracks!"

The two headed mutated zombie when faced with Yoze's weight demonstrated that its defense was lacking as its bones cracked like glass before shattering. Within a second, the Mutated Zombie's body was crushed, dying almost instantly.

Yoze stood up from the crushed mutated zombie's corpse and looked at the large gash across his shoulder. The shoulder that should have been profusely bleeding was losing blood at a slower rate that Yoze had expected.

Yoze felt as if he still had life in him and was not as tired as he usually was from these vigorous movements. It wasn't much but he only felt as if his stamina had improved about 20 percent.

"I see Life Attraction has many effects that are about life preservation measure for the body. Like me bleeding slower and losing energy to the outside." Yoze felt that this talent had been slowly making itself known. So far it had been doing so work with keeping him going.

There was also a high chance that this talent is what is preventing the strange fatigue that came from the zombies attacks. He only experienced it once and knew that it was a deadly ability for the zombies opponents.

After cleaning himself a bit and making sure that the noise from this battle hadn't attracted more zombies before Yoze looked at the rapidly disappearing death armor.

The smell coming from the death armor almost made Yoze puck from the overwhelming stench. Still he endured the stench to get a close look at the armor, however Yoze settled that he wasn't able to glean anything useful from it.

After the Death Armor dissipated, Yozed looked at the Mutated Zombie's corpse and figured out the reason he was discovered. The reason was so simple yet absurd that Yoze wanted to laugh.

The Two headed Mutated Zombie's two heads were facing away from each other. So while Yoze avoid the view of the head aligned with the body he entered the sight of the other head.
