Chapter 6：First Fight!

[Status]:

Name: Jonathan Reed

Condition: Rare type of licker that has increased strength(Weakened)

Race: Zombie[Licker]

Bio: A stronger variant of the normal Licker. It is currently weaker after its evolution.

'Well if it isn't the good scientist. I really hope you enjoyed your last few hours of your life. One moment I'm your test subject, now you are mine.'

'Its' agility is lower than mine but it also says that this one has increased strength. Using the pistol is a waste of time and ammo not to mention I haven't tried shooting anything before. I do not have any training either so I will have to brawl at best or use the knife but I don't know if it can pierce its skin. My advantage is the surprise element and higher agility for now. I just hope that those 5 points of difference between us are enough.'

------5 min later-----

Taking a bullet out from the inventory I hold it in my hand and get ready to execute my insane bordering suicidal plan.

'Close enough.' –I think as I throw the bullet on the floor in front of the cell I'm locked in and gather all my force to my legs.

Licker head snaps in its direction and jumps down towards the bullet immediately. When it is about to touch the ground I make my move and propel myself towards it leaving behind multiple cracks in the floor.

Holding my left arm in front of me I drive straight through the steel bars, grab onto the neck of the Licker who barely had enough time to start turning his head and smash us together into the concrete wall.

Just 1 second after lodging the Lickers body into the wall I use my right arm as a spear and try to drive it right into its body using all my strength. Underestimating my strength my hand goes right through the body and 20cm into the wall behind it.

'Come on, scream.'- and as soon as it opens its mouth to scream I remove my left arm from its throat and drawing my combat knife from inventory, I shove it inside the mouth.

I remove my right hand from its chest and in that time the Licker uses its claw to cut of my left arm holding the knife still inside his mouth. It doesn't matter as I once again use my remaining hand as a spear and drive it through the jaw, destroying the combat knife inside it and proceeding to penetrate the brain.

I can feel the resistance of the licker weakening, so I immediately think of consuming it and after 2 seconds of thinking to consume its condition changes to nearly dead, activating the skill, turning the Licker into biomass and absorbing him.

Zero: "This brings stress to a whole new level, haaaa…"- I say exhaling, my bitten arm now already recovered.

System: "Unlocked new stat: Level."

'Huh… interesting, in any other world it would have been nearly impossible to advance my abilities without becoming a world threat, but here it is only a matter of time and I can stay anonymous.'

Figuring out how to check my newly acquired memories came easily to me. A whole new life that I knew like the back of my hand. …It was strange living the happiest and saddest moments of Jonathan Reev, experiencing the horrors he did at umbrella and the ones he helped create. Knowing how it felt, able to recreate it perfectly but still not affecting my real self, it is the perfect mask.

System: "It is not the ability blocking the emotions from affecting you."

'Huh, then what is? Gamers Mind?'

System: "While Gamers Mind is active it only keeps you sane and calm but it doesn't affect your decisions, remember you are not human anymore, your subconscious after evolving to a higher lifeform has become more active and has decided that certain emotions such as sympathy are unnecessary and a liability in the road towards evolution.

'I see… No I understand , I've been restricting myself, stopping Umbrella, stopping Wesker?... that is what I had been planning at the start. Following the story because it would be the only way of facing countless zombies early in the story… but I don't need to get strong early on. I'm an almost immortal being that the passage of time cannot stop. If there is anything I have it's time. I'm not just a human anymore. I'm not limited like the original Blacklight Virus either.'

Zero: "I am Zero."- and Zero can become anyone.

-----------------------

From the memories of Reed it is September 30, 1998. We are in the Umbrella facility underneath Raccoon City. Agent Hunk should have already secured a sample of G-Virus from the briefcase. I don't remember where he goes next but even if I took it from Hunk unless my hypothesis is right I would have to abandon my fail proof backup plan."

'Ada Wong and Leon S. Kennedy. Your love story will benefit me greatly. Leon is too involved in the story and it is necessary for everything to go according to game canon so I cannot involve myself with him at all until at least June 30, 2013 but Ada stays in the dark most of the time and holds numerous secrets... I'm sure she won't mind another one.'

'In 15 years I have to discreetly gather a minimum of 3000 points and be able to slaughter more than 100 Neo-Umbrella 'upgraded' Soldiers in under 15 minutes. Racoon City with its 99'000+ infected will be my training ground and my point farm.'

Zero: "The game is just beginning and with the save and restart option disabled I better get at least S Rank."
