The Vicious Girl in the Garbage bag

A head popped out of the garbage bag, and it startled Herro to the point that he fell to his butt.

He was not just frightened by the sudden popped-up of the head, but also the fact that it was fresh and not rotten like those zombies outside.

He thought that maybe it was a new monster that will attack him anytime soon.

He was still frightened and was about to stand and escape outside when a hand had come out of the garbage bag. He felt chills running down his spine, and he lost the strength to stand up.

Herro scrutinized the hand and noticed that it was smooth and white, probably belonging to a girl. Then he remembered a game back in his place where a girl is crying, and if you approach her, she will attack you relentlessly. And that girl was a zombie.

When he is playing that game, he always avoids that kind of enemy because it was the scariest enemy in the game for him.

Then, what follows removes the fear that he felt. A head followed, and the hair was clean. Then he saw a beautiful white face of a lady. He was mesmerized just by looking at her.

He was still admiring that girl when she suddenly stood up and rushed towards him. He was about to greet the girl when her foot hit his stomach.

The kick was so strong that he flew back and his back smashed on the wall on his right. He couldn't help it, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.

He tried getting up but with great difficulty due to the pain in his abdomen. When he finally sat up while leaning his back on the wall, he threw a glance at the lady who kicked him.

He saw the lady glaring at him as if she was going to eat him alive. Herro didn't know what he did wrong to receive this kind of treatment.

Then he glared angrily at the girl and shouted, "Why the hell did you kick me?!"

The lady jolted in astonishment by what she had heard. She glared back at Herro and said, "You still have the audacity to ask that after you kicked me while I'm sleeping?"

Herro smiled sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry. I thought it was just a garbage bag, but I never expected it was a young and gorgeous lady was sleeping there. And my kick was not so stro..." Before he could finish his sentence, another kick flying towards his stomach.

Since his back was leaning on the wall, some of the force from the lady's kick was transferred to the wall, causing it to crack.

He coughed another mouthful of blood, and his vision started to go dark.

"What is that another kick is for?" Herro glared at the girl angrily as he wiped the blood seeping on the corner of his lips.

The girl ignored him and fixed her sleeping bag.

While Herro was there, sitting while staring at his Status panel, and was depressed by what he had seen.

Because he saw there that his Health Status is:

Health condition: Severely Injured, 3:54:25 left until the time of death.

Hey, hey, hey, hey! WHY AM I ALREADY DYING?! I JUST GOT ARRIVED IN THIS FANTASY WORLD, AND I AM ALREADY DYING WITHOUT EXPERIENCING MUCH?!

Herro angrily retaliated in his thoughts. He just died not long ago, and now he has less than four hours to live.

Because of being agitated by his anger, it caused his internal wounds to bleed, and he vomited another mouthful of blood.

The lady saw him vomiting blood and was confused. And then she asked, "Why did you bleed that much? I only kicked you, and you're almost dying. Did you get a Body Enhancement Serum injection?"

"What the hell is that Body Enhancement Serum? I was just injected with pneumonia vaccine!" Herro angrily answered the lady.

When the lady heard Herro's response, she froze on her spot and could not think for a couple of seconds. After regaining her senses back, she put her hand inside the inner pocket of her Trench coat and frowned. It was as if she was thinking about something that would greatly affect her life.

After thinking for a long time, she threw a bottle towards Herro and said, "Take that pill if you wanna still see the morning shines tomorrow."

Herro, who was gravely injured, could not catch the bottle, and it hit his stomach. The impact was not strong, but it was also not smooth, and it caused him to cough some blood.

He glared at the lady, who turned her back at him after throwing the bottle. Then he opened the bottle, and a soothing aroma welcomed him. He inhaled the scent, and he felt his injuries calmed down.

Then he scrutinized the single pill inside. It was color blue, and its size was that of a normal medicinal pill.

His first plan on surviving this perilous situation is to go outside and absorb some zombies to heal his wounds, but that would be impossible. He could not even stand properly, and going outside is impossible for him.

He couldn't ask the lady to bring him zombies because it would expose his ability. They were not that close, so he should hide his secrets for now. So the choice that was left for him is to take the pill.

And then he poured the single pill from the bottle towards his palm. Then he placed it on his mouth and swallowed it. He does not need water because it was easy to swallow.

A couple of seconds after swallowing the pill, Herro felt his stomach burning. He was forced to lie down as he writhes in pain. He shouted in pain, but he could see the lady was looking at him calmly while doing nothing.

His vision turned darker and darker until it completely turned black, and he lost his consciousness.

******

Herro was lying on the side while his own blood stained his clothes.

He slowly opened his eyes but with great difficulty. To him, it feels like a long time has passed, but in reality, only four hours have passed.

He slowly sat up with the support of his arms. He scanned the room, and, after ensuring that the lady who tortured him was not there, he released a sigh of relief.

He then opened his status panel and saw that his health condition from severely injured changed to slightly injured, and he released another sigh of relief.

Then the lady entered the room again and sent shivers to Herro.

He said nervously, "W-what are you going to do now?"

The lady sighed in resignation and said, "I'm really sorry for what I have done. I never thought that there is still someone who is as weak as you these days."

"What do you mean by that?" Herro felt insulted by what she said, but he remembered something about that Body Enhancement Serum that the lady mentioned.

"Everyone is just like me. We are already enhanced by what so-called Body Enhancement Serum. You didn't know about this?" As she was about to explain everything, she asked him as she thought it was unbelievable for someone who is still alive by this time that doesn't even know what Body Enhancement Serum is.

Herro, who really does not even know what is that sh*t called Body Enhancement Serum, was placed on a tight spot. If he said he didn't know, the lady would be suspicious towards him and maybe turned hostile and kill him seriously this time.

But then a brilliant idea suddenly popped up in his brain, and it also seems believable.

"I just found myself lying inside a room that was really foreign. Then I really have no memories of my past. I only remember my name, age, and some personal details, and other than that, everything feels blank."

After hearing Herro's reply to her question, she pondered for a little bit before agreeing. "Your parents must be one of the last of the traditional ones that did not want their child to take the Body Enhancement Serum. And that explains why your body is so fragile."

Herro was quite happy that he was able to escape with the lie he made up.

"I'm also sorry for kicking you out of nowhere. I really thought it was just a garbage bag lying in there." Herro apologized sincerely.

"Forget about it. I just never thought of someone of has not taken the Body Enhancement Serum these days." The lady said as she waved her hands, gesturing that it did not matter anymore.

"Are you feeling fine?" The lady concernedly asked Herro.

"Yeah, I'm fine. My back hurts a little bit." Without any other choice, Herro just accepted the fact that it was all misunderstanding, and it does not matter anymore since he was alive and the other party feels sorry.

"By the way, we never introduced ourselves. My name is Herro Drylin, and I'm twenty years of age. How about you?" Herro introduced himself and also asked the lady her name.

"My name is Kira Constantine. I'm 18 and currently surviving on my own." Kira said as her thoughts flew away.

"What happened? Why is the world like this?" Herro asked as if he was really foreign in this world.

"Your amnesia is really severe that you even forget about that." Kira shook her head in resignation.

Herro just nodded as he was happy he dodged that easily.

"Then let me explain it all to you while we are eating this simple soup I made."
