Sleep

"System what's this shadow flame all about, I don't remember having this skill?" Tang Zhan asked as he calmly walked towards his 'preys'.

[shadow flame: shadow is the truth about something, and so the shadow of a flame is it most hottest.

prerequisites: shadow and any type of flame.

shadow; gotten

flame; phoenix flame gotten.]

"oh so that's how it is, the phoenix flame and my shadow, that's means I can merge skills to get different skills"

As Tang Zhan got to the first zombie, he waved his scythe at the wide opened mouth of the zombie. A smooth cut was made and the top half of the head slid off smoothly.

[you have killed a zombie one level above you, 5 exp gained]

' tsk, this people are poor ' Tang Zhan proceeded to killing the rest of the zombies, and when he was done with them, he had killed a total of 14 zombies.

[Level: 1(Exp: 180/200).]

"Brother! How did you do that?" Yufei had run up to Tang Zhan the moment he killed the zombies, and her eyes glinted and sparkle like those of a fan girl.

Banjo too came over, he was clearly stupefied.

"master Tang Zhan how did you do that just now?" Banjo and Yufei were all over Tang Zhan like he was some popular movie actor.

"let's go inside first, we don't want to attract any of your friends over, do we?" Tang Zhan said with his eyes back to being closed.

"nope! we don't, let's go inside those zombies are decisive"

When they got inside Tang Zhan went to take a shower and change his bloodied clothes. Yufei also went to take a shower before going to the kitchen to make food.

Although Tang Zhan had packed 20 slots filled with big bags of nothing but food. They were not yet for eating. They lived in a mansion, there can't just be a lack of food.

Those food in his slots, were Incase they had to stay out late or if things were to worsen and they are forced to find shelter, they wouldn't have a lack of food.

"so brother what was that black thing you did back there?" Yufei asked as she served ramen on the dinning table.

"chicken ramen, ha!" Tang Zhan complained on the choice of Yufei's cooking. He wasn't a fan of ramen but he managed, but the one he wouldn't accept was chicken ramen and even Yufei knew.

So she might have cooked it to annoy him, or to negotiate with him.

"That shadow thing I did was my skill"

"Skill?" Both Banjo and Yufei questioned.

"what's a skill?"

"A skill is a power you have pertaining to your physique, both of you check your physique"

Yufei who had witnessed true power from her brother was determined to follow him until the end of the world.

' not that we are not already at the end of the world ' Yufei chuckled a bit to herself, after finding the while situation funny.

"isn't the end of the world meant to be rapture? Why a zombie apocalypse?" Like he had read her mind Banjo spoke up warranting a puzzled look on everyone's face.

All over the world, across the globe, everyone with a system had received this message, in other words all humans had received this message. It was also clear this wasn't the regular ai system as this one spoke with emotions in her voice.

Everybody became panicky, those that were locked up in their houses were all happy,while those that were out of safe zones were terrified.

There was no place to find safety, food or shelter, and so they were all scared fir their lives.

The military had stayed on their own lane, not supplying anyone with guns or food, and even though they had strongholds they didn't just accept people, test were conducted, and potential was tested.

Still, who would thought those roles would suddenly swap and be reversed.

Zooming out of earth, the scenery and expanse of space is shown as it is filled with countless stars and rocks. Still zooming out of milky way the true expanse of space is illustrated.

Not even a single planet is seen in the farthest distance, speeding a few light years, it is stopped at a different galaxy.

A galaxy filled with nothing but pure red, its planets covered in red miasma. In the planet at the centre people with human like structure could be seen doing their business.

At a far location, in a castle as tall as a 30 story building. The people although had human structure, didn't seem to be humans. They had place rotten skin, smooth with no blemishes except it's rotten look.

They wore exceptionally beautiful dresses, and behaved civilized. In that castle, on a large throne, a hideous figure sat with a meticulously made dish in his front.

"How is it going, how are the 1% faring?" the figure asked as he placed a small piece of finely fried juicy meat in his mouth, then biting making blood spurt out of the meat.

"they are faring better than expected, even though the humans are killing them quickly, they are not actually dead, their soul cores are her and not one has shattered" another figure standing in front of the man on the throne.

The person was bowing politely, not even daring to peek at the person in front of him.

"so that means no one has been able to thoroughly kill them enough to destroy their soul cores, hahaha!... How intriguing!"

The man on the throne took another bite of his juicy meat, before laughing and staring coldly at his messenger.

"release the 2% tomorrow"

Percents was a way of ranking themselves, and the dark figure on the throne was a 100%, and he was the strongest on the planet at the moment, but just a trainee in the true ranks of the true... zombies.

In another galaxy filled with ethereal colours a middle aged female and a old man we're talking.

"those humans are useful a bit, but I doubt Biron wouldn't let it be as easy as that, but we need this bastards to reach student level in two years." the female proclaimed while the old man stroke his beards.

"successful population percentage, what do you think, since the one with most contact with them" the old man finally said after so many minutes.

"5% out of Earth's population will survive and come out as students at most, it is so laughable"

The old man looked at a orb in his hands, in that orb are many planets shown and earth is one of them.

"5% is so pathetic!"

...

Tang Zhan when hearing the notification, couldn't make anything out of it, Yufei and Banjo were also in similar condition.

"does that means even as scary as it's already is we just want to enter phase one?" Yufei spoke obviously dispirited.

Banjo looked at her but couldn't say any words to comfort her as he too was comforting himself.

The only person who seemed to be thinking about it so much was Tang Zhan, but he suddenly felt sleepy and dizzy.

He looked over to Yufei and Banjo and saw they were both knocked out. Yufei's face was in her food but fortunately there was space for her to breath.

While Banjo was sprawled over the couch, his mouth wide open with a drool running down his chin.

"what, is happening? hey guys, wake up, wake...up"

Bam!

Tang Zhan head hit the table as he too slept off, but before he could fully sleep he could see everywhere was bright red and something was falling from the sky.
