Chapter 8: Realizing The Cruelty Of The Zombie World

[You had spent a few hours worth drawing blood from the zombies around you and drinking it to evolve the zombie viruses within your body.]

[Due to that, you had unknowingly attracted the attention of some survivors who would pass by your current location. They were mostly your schoolmates and even your teachers. When they saw you using your air superpower to massacre the zombies, they enthusiastically invited you to join them.]

[Of course, you still didn't want to join a group of burdens so you ignored them but when they tried to threaten and force you by using emotional blackmail and such, you scared them away by ruthlessly killing the leader of their group.]

[It was the first time for you to kill a human but it only caused a momentary slight discomfort to you. You eventually got used to it due to the strong willpower you possessed.]

[But your performance of killing the leader of your schoolmate's group which was one of the teachers of the school was very effective. They ran away and their loud screaming and retreat had attracted the attention of the zombies.]

[You didn't care about them but it was their blessing that you needed the zombies that they had attracted so you gave them a helping hand by restraining those zombies. They were slightly grateful for your assistance but you ignored them as you focused on drawing the blood of those zombies that you have captured.]

[That happened a few hours ago and since then, you kept on repeating a cycle of capturing zombies, drawing their blood, and drinking it.]

[Whenever a new batch of your schoolmates arrived to recruit you, you ignored them and expressed your disinterest in joining them. Fortunately, unlike the unruly group from before whose leader had threatened you, the new batches of groups that had encountered you were much more sensible and they respected your choice.]

[A few hours' worth of collecting zombie blood and drinking zombie blood had allowed you to evolve from E-rank Initial Stage to D-rank Initial Stage!]

[Your air superpower had become stronger in terms of quality and your energy reserve became a lot larger. Although you couldn't perform a long-duration flight, you can still use the air to jump a lot higher and to levitate in the air for a short duration.]

"Sigh, at last. The self in the simulation finally became decently powerful. It has only been a day since the apocalypse started so D-rank should be enough to sweep the floor and dominate the world at least until a week has passed."

"And from my estimations, D-rank should be comparable to a 3rd-level transcendent. As long as I obtain that power, I can immediately jump up from a 1st-level transcendent to a 3rd-level transcendent."

Alister was getting more excited about the results of the simulation since he would finally be able to obtain superpowers!

After all, it was his dream since his past life to obtain superpowers and become powerful as fuck!

Although he was currently at 1st-level transcendent, that was only purely physical power and he didn't have any superpowers. So he was excited for the simulation to last as long as possible so that the power he would be rewarded with was a lot higher than he expected it to be!

[You have reached the D-rank Initial Stage. But no matter how much zombie blood you have ingested, you noticed that your energy was only being replenished but it didn't seem to improve your power any longer.]

[In other words, you have reached a bottleneck in your evolution. From your guess, it was due to the insufficient quality of the zombie virus of F-rank zombies.]

[It was even a miracle that you have reached D-rank and it was all due to the effects of your Zombie Virus Immunity (Purple) talent that you could reach D-rank. You estimated that even the average awakeners could only reach E-rank Late Stage no matter how much they ingested the zombie virus of F-rank zombies.]

[It was a bottleneck of human evolution that couldn't be compensated with quantity alone. But you know that it was impossible to find a huge amount of E-rank zombies especially when it was currently just the first day since the start of the zombie apocalypse.]

[There might be a few E-rank zombies on campus, but the number of E-rank zombies wasn't enough to allow you to evolve to D-rank Intermediate Stage. With that in mind, you know that you have reached the peak of what a human could achieve on the first day of the zombie apocalypse.]

[So, you decided to head to the girl's dormitory in search of the perfect zombie girl you could find.]

[It was worth noting that the zombies weren't that much different from humans aside from the lack of color of their pupils and possessing pale skin. Their body didn't have any odor unless they were covered in blood. In other words, they might look like corpses, but they don't smell like one.]

[As a necrophiliac, you couldn't wait to get your hands on a zombie girl so that you could start cultivating a powerful ally as well as a beautiful girlfriend.]

["My power should be enough to walk rampantly in this world. After all, the highest human awakener and zombie should only be at E-rank Late Stage." Muttering those words, you have decided to find your zombie girl in the girl's dormitory.]

[Using the power of the wind, you sprinted across campus, heading to the girl's dormitory. With the comprehensive strength of a D-rank awakener as well as the power of the wind, your speed was very fast.]

[You have encountered zombies along the way but they ignored you as always. Well, even if they didn't, their speed was too slow to catch up to you.]

[You eventually reached the periphery of the girl's dormitory but when you arrived there, you noticed that a beautiful girl was being surrounded and harassed by five men. Four of those men were students while the other was even a teacher!]

["Sigh, as much as I don't want to admit it, this world has become lawless. Even if they raped this girl, they wouldn't be held accountable by the law since those policemen had already become a zombie. Not to mention, only power reigned supreme here." You realized the cruelty of the zombie world.]
