Zeus and the Zombies pt.1

"Do you really have to bother with monikers?"

"Of course, I do." Sukuna said out loud, "Not that I plan on being a goody-two-shoes worried about protecting his identity. But having an alias might still come in handy sometimes. And not to mention the fun of it all."

Sukuna said hiding his tattoo and eyes and bringing them back out again with ease.

One of the best parts about being a transmigrator was that he didn't have to worry about protecting his family, not that he had one in his original world.

So there wasn't a need to hide his identity. At most, it would be useful for infiltrating or providing him some sort of entertainment mixing with normal people.

The eyes luckily looked similar to his tattoos, with his new body he still wasn't able to control the 2nd pair of eyes he had so they remained dormant and closed making it easier for him, to not worry about it.

Looking at his reflection in the mirror as he changed his clothes to a suit that he found in the closet, he couldn't help but smile.

His original appearance wasn't ugly but it wasn't a head-turner, to say the least. But his current appearance was something out of his expectations.

There wasn't a single fat anywhere on his body, it was just pure muscle with abs for days. With his sharp jaw and deep-red eyes, he didn't have a single flaw on him. If he were to remove his tattoos he could simply be a model and make a decent living out of his looks alone.

"You really are obsessed with yourself, huh?" Lilith said in a sleezy tone.

"Let me enjoy it a bit, I've always wanted abs but was too lazy to get the work done for it. And now that I have received it for free, I can't help but be fascinated with myself."

"If you have problems with your markings then you should keep it hidden," Lilith said giving up on Sukuna talking about something else.

"You see Lilith, the common cliché in every anime, novel or movie is when a guy looks normal and is good looking, bad guys always come looking for trouble or another. So I would really love to avoid it."

"So you want to avoid it by keeping the markings?"

"With this look, I think I would fit right in with the villains," Sukuna said finally buttoning his shirt, "And as for the other look, is more for a time where I have to be a proper good-boy."

"Sukuna for the villain's face and Kai for the good boy look." Sukuna said as he began wearing his shoes, "It's good, isn't it?"

"I don't care much." Lilith replied, "So what are you going to be doing about the 2nd finger?"

"Dear Lilith, I know it's your job to help me but currently the whole of Las Vegas is infested with zombies, and not just your normal slow brain-dead zombies but zombies with a leader, or a King to be exact," Sukuna said in the softest voice imaginable, but the current expression on his face was the exact opposite of what he sounded like.

"So dear Lilith, do you want me to die and get zombified right away?"

Lilith didn't respond noticing Sukuna mocking her but with her role as an assistant she finally caved in, "So what do you want to do?"

"Watch, learn, and follow along." Sukuna stood up as he turned off the TV which was somehow still functioning as he glanced outside his hotel window.

He didn't know exactly which floor he was in but from where he was he could look down on what was happening to the city.

Zombies running rampant on the whole street. People running for their lives. It was basically your every zombie movie ever stuff, just in real life, and way more graphic than you could imagine.

Luckily the outbreak was contained within Las Vegas, so the whole world isn't going crazy yet. According to the news it's just been a week since the outbreak started so there were still a lot of people running and hiding around.

"Geez! How many Elvis impersonators does one city need." Sukuna said out loud with disgust written all over his face as he just saw a zombie Elvis tear off a kid's head, "That must be an alpha."

"Hey Lilith, do you have any weapons in the shop?"

"It is filled with it, but even with one finger you should have enough strength to fight against these zombies."

"I know, it's just I am not used to my strength and using my Cursed Energy. And though these zombies would make good punching bags, I don't want to get careless and get bitten."

"Unless you can say for sure, that I wouldn't get infected."

"I can't give you the guarantee." Lilith said, "This world is new to me just as it is to you, so I can't say for sure until I know. But with your cursed techniques and reverse cursed technique, even if you were bitten by any chance, you could always cut off a part of your body and grow it back again."

"Sure, I could but I don't know how to do it. And calm down, I am just taking precautions, after all, I don't want those zombies hands even touching me."

"Well, in any case, I can go all out and practice my abilities with these zombies since no one is going care if they die or not." Sukuna said with a sigh, "So how do I earn points to buy, again?"

"You don't actually earn it, what you would need is souls."

"Hey! don't tell me your creator is the devil or something." Sukuna said with his lips twitching, "So zombies being sort of undead, they don't really have souls do they?"

"No they don't but I can sense strong souls on the ones you called an alpha."

"So strong souls have more value."

"Correct, the more powerful people or monsters, the more their value." Lilith said, "To put it simply for you, an average human's soul has a value of 1 shop point and that alpha over there has a value of 10."

Sukuna nodded taking note of what Lilith just said as he went back closing the curtains.

"So I guess it's time to leave this place," Sukuna said with a weird smile hanging on his face.

"You look confident."

"I am scared for my life, but this face doesn't allow me to have a scared timid expression."

"..."

"So what do I do with these clothes?" Sukuna said looking at the kimono, a part of him didn't quite care much about it but another part of him wanted to keep the original set of clothes that added to Sukuna's vibe.

"I can keep it if you want," Lilith said as the clothes disappeared in thin air.

"So you do have an inventory, are you really sure you're not a system?"

"..."

"It's only a little space that wasn't worth mentioning as with only the clothes, it's already filled to the brim. You would need to upgrade the inventory from the shop to increase its size."

"Whatever you say!" Sukuna waved his hands dismissing Lilith as he walked out of the hotel room lazily.
