Chapter 1: stocking up!
The morning air was filled with the melodious sound of birds chirping, their songs echoing through the trees like an orchestra of nature. In the midst of this peaceful moment, a young boy stood outside walking in the road and occasionally greeting some elders on the way
his presence serene yet full of energy. His hair, deep black and glossy, framed his face with two bangs that swept down on either side, brushing the tops of his cheeks. The sunlight, warm and golden, streamed down from the sky, bathing his face in a soft glow.
The rays caught his features, making his pale white skin appear almost luminous. He squinted slightly, his eyes narrowing against the brightness, as his gaze was drawn upwards, perhaps lost in thought or simply soaking in the beauty of the day.
The boy let out a long, heavy sigh, his chest rising and falling with the weight of the thought pressing on him. His gaze shifted slowly to the supermarket which was bustling with people unlike the reality he knew the windows of the store reflecting the shadows of people.
His eyes lingered on it for a moment, lost in memories of a time before everything had changed.A sudden flashback overtook him, like a wave crashing into his mind.
The world had not always been like this. There was a time when streets were filled with the hum of life, when laughter and chatter echoed through every corner of the city. But that time was long gone. Now, only the echo of footsteps remained, though these steps belonged to creatures not quite human.
He remembered the first reports—cryptic messages, half-hearted warnings that nobody took seriously. It had started in small, isolated places, in labs tucked away from the public eye. A virus, an experiment gone horribly wrong, was what they were told. But it wasn't that simple.
No one could have anticipated how quickly it spread. Scientists, unknowingly part of the disaster, had altered something in the genetic code, something beyond their understanding. It started as a flu-like illness—mild symptoms, nothing too alarming. But as the days passed, the virus evolved, faster than anyone could comprehend.
Then came the transformation. At first, the infected were just people, sick and feverish, but as the virus mutated, it began altering their bodies, turning them into something else—something terrifying
Their skin paled, their movements jerky and unnatural, and their eyes turned hollow, devoid of any trace of humanity. The once-familiar faces of friends, family, and neighbors became grotesque, alien masks driven only by hunger. Hunger for flesh, for life, for anything they could tear apart.
The undead roamed the streets, hunting down survivors with an insatiable thirst. Society fractured as governments collapsed under the pressure of the infection's rapid spread. Cities became graveyards, their streets littered with abandoned cars, half-destroyed homes, and the remnants of a civilization that once thrived.
The virus had triggered the fall of the old world, and in its place, the new era of humanity began—a world ruled not by law or reason, but by survival, fear, and an endless battle against the undead.
As the boy stood there, the cold wind brushing against his skin, he couldn't help but think about how quickly everything had fallen apart in his previous life. The supermarket was a reminder of the life he once knew,The people after finding food problems barged in many buildings supermarket and more...
The new era was here In his previois life was shaped by fear and bloodshed, where the fight for survival was the only certainty.
He then mumbled"in my past life... I had major difficulties for food.. " just then his smiled grew wide"tomorrow marks the 1st january which then marks the begining of the undead... "
Being in this world after regression for 2 years he grew again accustomed to peace,
The boy looked at the panel before him
[System Function 'stats'locked host has reached the threshold of his current stats level! Please wait for the apocalypse...Current function available,'Inventory' ]
The man known as noah stood outside the bustling supermarket, staring at the bright, glowing sign above the entrance. He took a deep breath and stepped forward, pushing open the cool, transparent glass door.
A soft humming sound filled the air, a blend of refrigeration units and distant chatter, as a rush of cool, air-conditioned wind brushed against his face. It was a brief respite from the sweltering heat outside.
Inside, the supermarket was alive with activity. Rows of shelves stretched out in every direction, filled with colorful products, while shoppers moved with purpose, selecting items for meals they planned to prepare later that evening. Some appeared calm and casual, while others were focused, intent on their lists. None of them knew that tonight, their world would change forever.
Noah glanced around, his eyes scanning the crowd.Without wasting any time, he navigated through the aisles until he reached the drinks section.
His heart raced as he grabbed bottle after bottle—water, soda, juice—clearing the shelves in frantic haste.
Shoppers nearby cast curious glances in his direction, but noah didn't care. He could only focus on his task, knowing that when the sun set tonight, reality itself would shift.
Rowing the cart filled with drinked to the brim he went to the counter to check out
The shop keeper cast a curious gaze as she started scanning,she had deep black hair with mesmerizing dark blue eyes, her standard convenient store clothes that hugged her body tightly, although her boobs were not big but were perfect!
On her left chest there was a tag which read–Aurora
"did you organize a party?... Why so many drinks and no chips? " she asked with a curious raised brow while the beeping sound continued
"just stocking up for my friends who are staying over" she then nodded and silenced ensued
Going outside he opened his cars trunk and acted putting the juice in the trunk, but it was actually stored inside his inventory
...
In the past 2 years he was regressed he quickly established a company that can help with software, in the later stages of apocalypse the remaining humans created much higher technology by the skill they got mechanic or Engineer these simple F rank skills gave the humans
Very advance communications but in the end a inner conflict broke out that killed almost the entire base he was at but lucky survived
Thinking of the day's bloodbath, he couldn't help but grimace their deaths, he sat inside the car as he started the engine
Voom!
The car was a second hand but it would work... After the apocalypse descend who would need car? No one because the zombies no,undead have heightened hearing
Driving back to his apartment,he go to the 5th floor this building had 7 floors and above was the rooftop
He knew that almost all the people in this building would become undead
He looked around the room and smiled"in my previous life, it was hard to even get food...and any noises attracted the undead but" looking at the room which was decorated with everything that was expensive several USB that contained films of all languages
A heavy iron door that cant even be phase by a missle,and the system inventory space that now contained everything!
Noah sat at the coach and heaved a sigh of relief"I've installed solar panel, that means i can atleast have electricity or my B rank ability! " he rubbed his hands as he looked inside the inventory
looking around his inventory space he saw many boxes lined up marking 'Krispy Chicken! ' restaurant and many restaurants box even containing those 5 star!
He then turned to his left and saw many drinks, jug of 20 litre of water, sparkling water and more
His heart started beating because he can totally last his lifetime in this much food
If a normal person in his current time pre apocalypse saw this they would say 'this is so much that even after feeding the country you would have much much left!'
He then looked behind him in the space and looked at variety things ranging from melee weapon and guns containing glock to missles
He smiled as how he got it? Mafia's are a thing, he then exited from his inventory and lay on the sofa quickly falling asleep as the days fatigue overwhelmed him
