Alexandra's POV—
[You want a pill?]
'Yes! I fucking need it! Otherwise forget about mission!!' I yelled in mind. If I didn't do anything these hordes of zombies would surround me completely, and I would succumb by their hands.
[Let's see~ I think you can buy the pill. You have a balance of 1000 coins. Ah~ I remember now! It seems that I haven't told you about the coins. The more you kill the zombies, the more you will be able to earn coins.]
The zombies were only a few metres away from me. Is the system having fun with me? Why is it teasing me in this situation?
'Please! I beg you! I need the pill now. You can mock all you want when I get out of here.'
[Hmmm... fine. Press the confirm button. I have customized it to your advantage. I can't let you die now, can I?]
|1x Metal Ability Pill- 800 coins
1x Strength Increasing Pill (Temporary)- 100 coins
1x Agility Increasing Pill (Temporary)- 100 coins|
The metallic screen shows me this. Argh! If I confirm this, I am going to be left with zero coins. First, it informs very late about this and then... it loots me. Why does it hate me so much? Not having any choice left, I pressed the confirm button.
As soon as I pressed it, three pills appeared in my hand. I quickly swallowed them one by one using my saliva in place of water. I sensed a sudden surge of energy in my body. My body felt lighter and my arms tightened and relaxed at the same time.
|Temporary strength + Temporary Agility= 10 mins|
|Metal Ability: - Level: 2 (Levelled Up!!) |
Getting accustomed to this, I raised my sword and rushed towards them. Almost 150 to 180 zombies were all around me. I started cutting them one by one. I slashed two zombies together and kicked three away. A zombie tried to bite my hand. I quickly cut its head off its body.
I swung my sword and five zombies at once. I grabbed a zombie's and threw it on the five incoming zombies. They fell on the ground from the impact, and I quickly cut their heads off.
Blood bath... I would say that I bathed in their blood. Blood covered me from my head to toe. The rotten and pungent blood not only died my body red but also, made me stink. It was as if a beautiful painting was ruined by the excessive use of colours.
Forget about my body, my handiwork has dyed all the roads with red colour. Even the signs, post-boxes, walls... everything, was dyed red. The irony of this situation is really laughable. I, the ruined painting has ruined the whole canvas of the artist.
I decorated all the four roads with the zombies' dead bodies with my sword. I rampaged all over the place. Now the roads contained both human beings and zombies' dead bodies.
After I killed the last zombie, I finally put my sword down and sat on the ground. Suddenly, a very fat zombie kicked me away, making me hit the ground with a thud. My vision blurred for a moment but I quickly composed myself. I got and looked at it. It seems I was wrong. There was still a zombie left. Unlike the other zombies, this zombie had huge built. If I think carefully, this zombie didn't intend to hit me. Due to having a large built, it kicked me while trying to eat me.
I tightened my hold on the sword and dashed towards it. With a single clean strike, I cut his body into two unequal parts. Glaring at his dead body, I threw my sword on the ground.
That bastard hit me in the ribs. On top of that, I painfully collided against the ground.
With an uneven balance, I continued walking. Pain coursed my body with each step. My senses were not working properly. Instincts were my guide. Without them, I believe that I will collapse in a second.
[You fought really well.]
'I have no time to respond to you backhanded comments.'
[No! I am genuinely complimenting you. Also, you are hurt.]
Is it trying to piss me off? Why can't it get the hint that I don't want to be bothered right now? Pain, along with the system's words were making me feel annoyed. Do I need to plead it to leave me alone?
'System... please not now.'
[Fine. But I advise you to take a shelter at a safe place.]
What? Its words confused me.
'Why?'
[You used the pills. When you use a level up pill, it will knock you out for a day. While the other two will knock you out for 2 days collectively.]
|Warning: Time left: - I minute before you lose your consciousness. |
Fuck! Not again! Why does it tell me everything? It always gives me information after I am trapped in a problem.
Honestly, I don't have any time to argue with it. With all the power left in my body, I tried to search for a safe place.

My body stopped on its own and I fell on the ground with a painful impact. My vision started to turn dark and my eyelids became heavier. Resigning to my fate, I closed my eyes.
