“Mr.
Akira, it is regrettable that your condition has deteriorated, and your body has lost all mobility.
You are going to die.”
The cold medical diagnosis felt as if it were still clenched in his palm.
Akira suddenly opened his eyes and began to pant heavily.
What came into view was not the sickening white ceiling of the hospital, but a mottled Dormitory roof.
The air was filled with a rich smell of rust, mixed with a sickening stench of decay.
“Where is this?”
Akira struggled to sit up, a sense of weakness instantly sweeping over his entire body, and when he clenched his fists, they were powerless.
“What is wrong with my body?”
Akira vaguely remembered that he had clearly become a vegetative state, but now his legs and arms, although weak, could still move.
Where is this?
He looked around.
This was a dilapidated college Dormitory, with iron bunk beds and a paint-peeling desk, everything appearing so unfamiliar.
Outside the window, which should have been blue skies and white clouds, was now shrouded in a layer of eerie blood-colored thick fog, with visibility of less than five meters.
In the thick fog, there were vaguely a few shambling figures emitting low, beast-like growls.
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly appeared in his mind.
[Welcome to the Dormitory Survival game!]
[Below are game tips, please be sure to remember them firmly]
[1.
Humans are creatures that need to huddle together for warmth.
The game defaults to a two-player start.
Please make sure to keep the number of people in the Dormitory above two, otherwise you will fall into madness]
[2.
In this world full of despair and dilapidation, the Dormitory is your only safe dwelling.
If possible, please be sure to upgrade the Dormitory as soon as possible (of course, if you want to live more comfortably, you should upgrade your Dormitory even more)]
[3.
All supplies in the game need to be obtained by going out.
Try to choose daytime, because daytime is much safer than night (if you want to starve to death, you can ignore this piece of advice)]
[4.
A few lucky ones will awaken talents at the start, divided from high to low into S-rank, A-rank, B-rank, C-rank, D-rank!]
[5.
Explore this world, do not avoid it out of fear.
There are many unknown rules hidden in the game that need to be explored by oneself]
[Finally, enjoy this game!]
A series of information made Akira’s already weak brain roar.
Survival game?
He weakly stood up from the bed; although his body was weak, it was enough for movement.
It seemed that he had truly time-traveled, otherwise it could not explain why Akira, who was waiting to die in bed the second before, could move freely the next second.
There was still a tightly closed door in the room at this time, which should be the bathroom.
“If I am not mistaken, I should still have a teammate.”
The voice in his mind had said that two people were stipulated for each Dormitory, yet at this time there was no other figure in the Dormitory besides Akira.
The position where he woke up was the lower bunk, and that upper bunk which did not belong to him was also empty at this moment.
Creak~
Right at this moment, the bathroom suddenly made a sound.
Under Akira’s gaze, a peach-haired girl wrapped in a bath towel and bare-bodied walked out from the bathroom.
“You!!!”
“Who are you!!
Why are you in my house!!”
Under the shrinking bath towel, the girl’s sizzling figure was fully exposed.
Akira covered his ears, which were somewhat numb from the girl’s scream.
“First, this is not your house.”
“Second, your bath towel is pulled too tightly, it didn’t cover properly.”
Hearing Akira’s words, the girl lowered her head and discovered that her bath towel was closely clinging to her moist skin, and her plump upper chest was now exposing half of a crimson tip.
“Ahhhhh!”
After screaming once more, the girl immediately scurried back into the bathroom, and a rustling sound of putting on clothes came from inside.
Akira put down his palm, his brain finally a bit clearer.
Could his teammate actually be a girl?
Moreover, the other party’s peach-colored hair surprised Akira very much.
That color didn’t look like it was dyed, and it looked very natural.
Would anyone in reality really have hair of this color?
After a while, the girl walked out of the bathroom again with her hair tied in twin tails, her chest still rising and falling because of the previous incident.
“Hey!
Who on earth are you, and where is this place?”
The girl crossed her arms in front of her chest, putting on a vigilant posture.
Because of using too much force due to her nervous mood, her arms pressed into a plump indentation.
“You should have heard it too, the voice in your mind.”
Hearing Akira’s words, the girl was stunned for a moment.
Earlier she was taking a bath and thought the voice in her mind was fake, but she didn’t expect it to actually happen.
Her face turned slightly pale; she took out a pair of glasses from behind and put them on, her eyes examining the surrounding environment and the scenery outside the window.
“If you understand, I am your future teammate.
I don’t ask for mutual help, but at least ensure your own safety and don’t throw your life away.”
Akira said expressionlessly.
The rule game had once stated that if his bound teammate died, he would also fall into madness.
“I won’t go courting death.”
The girl turned her head aside and muttered, and finally twisted her head back.
“Although this level of crisis is a piece of cake for a genius like me, it is still better to get to know you for the time being.”
The girl hesitated for a moment, yet still extended a hand.
“My name is Takagi Saya.”
Takagi Saya?
Akira’s pupils shrank slightly; he was very familiar with this name.
Isn’t this a character from an anime?
Is this girl doing cosplay or what?
He carefully looked at the girl’s hair; it was indeed integrated peach-color.
Is this person really from the anime Highschool of the Dead?
“I say, you are being very impolite.
What are you staring at me for?” Takagi Saya was somewhat annoyed by the scrutiny and retracted her hand.
“I just feel that you are very special.” However, since time-travel could even happen, having an anime girl as a teammate wasn’t too strange either.
Akira casually responded to the girl’s words without explaining the reason.
“Such a terribly outdated pickup technique.” The girl rolled her eyes at Akira and huffily sat down on the bed.
Right at this moment, a prompt tone came to Akira’s ear.
[Player Akira obtained?-rank talent: Infinite Devour]
[Players can obtain infinitely growing attribute points by devouring monsters, and devouring high-level monsters has a chance to obtain trait attributes from the monsters]
[Note: Unlike usual survivors, players cannot use survival points to obtain body enhancements]
Talent?
A look of doubt flashed in Akira’s eyes.
Why was his talent rank ‘?’-rank?
Looking at the descriptive effect, the negative impact should be the point of not being able to use survival points to strengthen the body, but even so, this talent looked powerful enough.
Afterward, Akira saw at the lower left corner of his vision something like a game panel.
[Attribute Panel]
[Inventory]
[Chat Channel]
The chat channel is divided into four zones: southeast, northwest, and further distinguished by each zone’s Dormitory building number and door number.
At this time, there are no messages inside.
Takagi Saya, sitting on the bed, changed her emotional expression and looked up at Akira.
“Did you hear that voice too?”
“Judging by your appearance, you should have also awakened a talent.”
Akira came back to his senses and nodded to acknowledge it,
“Yeah, did you awaken a talent too?”
Takagi Saya pushed up her glasses and stood up from the bed.
“It seems our luck is not bad after all, both of us awakened talents.” After experiencing the initial panic, she also became calm, and the arms that were tightly embedded in the full roundness of her chest also relaxed.
“Let me talk about mine first.
The talent I awakened is the A-rank talent [Tactical Reconnaissance].
This talent allows me to search for the target’s location, as well as partial monster information within a hundred meters radius, and can be used once a day.”
Hearing Takagi Saya’s introduction, a trace of surprise flashed in Akira’s eyes.
“A very powerful skill.”
“Right!” The girl nodded proudly, “The ability to anticipate danger in advance couldn’t be more suitable for me, but the shortcoming is also very obvious, the number of uses is limited.”
“By the way, what is your ability?”
Hearing the girl’s question, Akira pondered for a moment and then answered.
“I have the S-rank ability [Infinite Devour], which can strengthen myself by devouring monsters.”
He casually fabricated a rank.
As for that ‘?’, he hadn’t figured it out yet, but judging from the skill, [Infinite Devour] looked like it had S-rank strength no matter how you looked at it.
“S-rank, and it’s a combat-capable talent?” A satisfied glow appeared in the girl’s eyes, “Then it is indeed the most suitable match for me.”
