RE:BORN Zombie

Victor didn’t need to look around much to know that he had gotten out of the dungeon, and he was now in one of the possible parts of humanity that have been taken over by monsters and otherworldly creatures. The entire surrounding gave off and aura of apocalypse, the type he recalled seeing in movies, and for some reason it felt like he was being watched all over constantly. The feeling was just eerie. He was alone and could not detect any other presence around, but at the same time it felt like eyes were all over the place.

The first thing Victor did was summon Larry, since he had the most knowledge about the situation they were in, being a formal human that resided in this world before.

“Come forth Larry.” Victor said, and just then from a faint smoke that shrouded the area before Victor, Larry appeared from it.

Before Victor began any questioning about their current situation, he just had to hand Larry some clothes to change into. The ones he had were soaked in blood, and had many parts torn. It definitely gave him a savagery look. Maybe it was because of the fact that they had become zombies, the shame that was supposed to be there while changing before someone else was absent, but Victor still turned away to give him space.

“Larry, can you explain what we are doing here? Aren’t we supposed to exit the dungeon from its entrance?” Victor asked.

“Yes lord…”

“Remove the lord and just talk normally, and go to the point.” Victor interrupted._.

“Yes.. Master. I also don’t know the reason for this strange occurrence. Normally we would be outside the dungeon entrance after exiting the dungeon, but how this is even possible…”

“I see. So basically, this is a rare occurrence?”

“Well, it has never happened before, as far as I know.” Larry answered.

Hearing Larry’s answer, Dustin was quite unsure of what the reason was. He thought back to the system notification that said he had been marked, and sure enough that was the only thing that was different from every other thing that had happened so far. Victor couldn’t think of how it was connected, but that was the best he could think of for the time being.

There was also no reason to tell Larry about his system even though Larry had practically become part of his legion and could not do something like betray him, there just was no need. Thinking about it wasn’t going to solve anything, and since they were already outside the dungeon, they should get to other things and focus on the things before them for now.

Victor would have to gain more information about the world first before he planned anything major, and in such a world, one of his major agendas was getting stronger, and fast.

Victor could clearly feel the location of Ramok’s master, but he hadn’t made the decision whether or not he would go complete the request Ramok made or not. Eventually he would, but right at the moment he wanted to collect more information about the world he was in. Though it was good to be strong and powerful, but even the most powerful man will eventually fall if he negated the need to arm himself with adequate information… Or so the saying goes.

Victor asked Larry if he would be able to recognise the place where they were, not expecting much of an answer as that would be almost impossible, and sure enough Larry didn’t know. Victor was told that almost half of the planet had turned into uncharted territory where monsters and beasts inhabit, and humanity had been forced to flee these areas, of course, this was after they lost many people, and when strong powers had yet to appear.

Basically, the story was not like the way it happened in the novels and manga. After dungeons and gates began appearing on this earth, the governments around the world did try to do something about it, but failed completely as their modern weapons could only harm so many monsters. Maybe it was a problem of adaptability and survivability, which humans were not the best at, but it took at least six to eight months before the first awakened people appeared.

These firsts were not strong enough to take on the stronger monsters, as by that time, countless dungeons and gates had broken and monsters from the other side crossed into the earth. From this era, countless heroes were born, and stronger people surfaced in different places one after the other. The thing was, even after all these years, humanity had still not been able to reclaim the land that was lost, though they were walking towards it.

It didn’t take long for Victor to come to a decision after thinking about it for about some minutes. He was stranded in an unknown land, and he knew not the way that led out. His only chance of leaving this place was by picking a certain direction and just start walking till he reached someplace where he could then get directions. Right now, they were in what seemed to be a city, so there was no way he would be finding the way to anywhere using nature.

‘In such a time like this, a flying skill or form would be really helpful.’ Victor said in his mind.

“If the only choice we have is to just pick a random direction and head that way, then why don’t we head towards the direction where Ramok’s master is.”

Victor unsummoned Larry, and began moving in the direction where he felt the drake’s master. As he walked through the streets of what used to be a city, the feeling that he was being watched remained with him, and from each building it felt like something was peaking at him from within.

‘System, are there any monsters or other creatures in the vicinity?’ Victor asked.

[Yes]

‘I knew it. Identify them.’ Victor commanded.

Just then, numerous pop up texts appeared that showed what the creatures were.

The pop ups didn’t seem to end, as every building around Victor was filled with these creatures. He had identified the creatures now, but then, the share number of them was something else.
