God of Time System: Harem in the Zombie Apocalypse

"My goals are simple. I need to make sure my parents and brothers are okay. If they are alive, I will then proceed to find or create a safe haven for us. If they are dead… well, I'll decide when the time comes," I said, scratching my head as I looked outside the balcony from the living room.

"Mine is similar to yours. I need to find my sister out in this… new world," Caroline spoke with a distant gaze and I turned my head at her before asking,

"Parents?"

"They live abroad," she spoke before I moved closer to her and grabbed her wrist.

"What are you-" getting alarmed, she looked at me with a wide eyed expression

"Your blood pressure is normal. I guess we can leave now," I spoke as I confirmed her health before pondering something and then

'Status. Skills. Inspect'

[Inspect (Level 1)

'Well. Doesn't look like it costs any Time Points. Now for the effect,' I thought before observing Caroline and

[Name: Caroline Escarte

'Guess I need to upgrade it to reveal more information.'

My eyes then turned at the almost broken baseball bat

[Weapon: Baseball bat

Type: Blunt

Durability: 2/340]

I sighed before thinking about the new title that I acquired

[Zombie Hunter: When fighting more than 10 zombies at once. All strikes would become 20% more powerful]

On the status page, it told me that I can use only one title at a time, so I must be careful with when to use which title.

"What are you doing?" she says as she looks at me and observing her expression, I confirm what I was thinking before.

'She can't see the System,' I noted in my head before smiling and speaking,"nothing. Let's go. There is nothing more in the house that we can use."

Though she made a really odd expression before speaking,"well… not to hurt your feelings, please don't smile like that out of nowhere. It's creepy, and also are you going out like this?"

Hearing her words, I shut my mouth before looking at her observing me from top to bottom. My eyes then looked at the clothes I was still wearing… I was in my pajamas which I wore last time.

"Well… gimme a moment," I said before hurrying to my room, changing into a comfortable lower and T-shirt, before moving out of the room. She saw me and sighed before muttering silently,"just what kind of idiot did I fall for?" before smiling at me.

"Ready?" she asked, and I nodded, scratching the back of my head with an awkward smile. The fact that I still had no idea what was wrong with my clothing, made me even more embarrassed.

From that point, we took some food supplies and other things like rope and stuff, which we can use on our journey. After we were done with that, I took the lead, carefully moving outside the apartment.

'The day finally passed, huh?' I thought as I sighed before looking in the hallway.

"Do you think the lift is still working?" I asked in a low voice and Caroline answered,"No. Everything that works with electricity has stopped working."

"So you're telling me to go down 64 floors one at a time?" I looked at Caroline with a questioning look and she shrugged her shoulders as she signaled 'not really something I can do about it now, can I?'

"Does anyone on your floor belong to the military or maybe the police?" Caroline asks as she looks around and I ponder before speaking,"I don't know. I don't exactly live here."

"If you don't have much problem, we can try two or perhaps three things here," Caroline spoke, and I turned at her before speaking,

"First is checking each and every room on the floor for weapons. Second is to keep going down, sneakily and outrunning zombies. What is the third?"

"Third is to go to the rooftop and try calling for a helicopter or something?" She added, and I shook my head as I directly denied her words speaking,"nope. We are not doing anything military related, not until we are at the end of our wits."

"But-"

"No buts, Caroline. If you want to travel with me, you have to follow at least a few basic rules," I spoke with a confident and serious tone. She was dejected at first but then she asked,

"Okay. At least tell me what the rules are."

"I haven't thought about them yet," I answered without an ounce of shame before moving towards my neighbor's apartment. She glared at me really hard but slowly followed behind me.

'So we are going to each and every apartment, huh?" She asked, and I stopped before turning at her.

"What?!" a bit alarmed she looked at me wondering what was wrong.

"Keep… quiet. Speak only if it is important," I keep my index finger on my lips and narrow my eyes at her at which she shrieks a little before nodding.

Turning back, I reached my neighbor's apartment and found its entrance open.

I was scared but… I took a deep breath and moved in. I wasn't scared of the zombies but meeting that 8-year-old girl, who might have turned into a zombie by now. One step at a time, I moved in and searched around the apartment.

Caroline too searched with me. Luckily, we did not stumble upon any zombies in the apartment. Perhaps all the zombies were killed by me and Caroline, so it felt even more eerie than when there were zombies.

It took us about half an hour, and we found a bunch of food supplies along with more kitchen knives. There were a couple of golf sticks as well, that I passed to Caroline, taking the kitchen knife for myself.

"How many apartments are there on this floor?" Caroline asks and I answer with a serious face,"8 per floor."

"2 done, 6 to go," she spoke, and I nodded before both of us moved to the next.
