An apocalypse game.
Five players.
Survive for seven days.
Among the five players were him and Yukino.
Unfortunately, she wasn’t anywhere nearby.
They had probably been teleported to different locations.
👥
Still, he hadn’t expected the chat group to interfere again.
📱
“So the chat group still works here?”
He opened the chat.
Exusiai: “Woo! Another delivery completed perfectly today.”
March 7th: “Exusiai, are you secretly some legendary workaholic?”
Exusiai: “Of course not. I just had a delivery job. Originium bullets don’t pay for themselves, you know. If I don’t work, how am I supposed to earn money?”
March 7th: “Uh… I still feel like Penguin Logistics isn’t exactly a normal delivery company.”
Exusiai: “Haha, that’s pretty common where I’m from. I’ve even seen manufacturing companies with their own private armies.”
Aqua: “No! I don’t want to live such a miserable life! I want to go back to the Divine Realm!”
Saeko Busujima: “Can gods not return once they’ve gone to another world?”
Aqua: “It’s not that. Once a wish has been granted, it can’t be changed. I have to see it through.”
Saeko Busujima: “That’s… quite a strict rule.”
Adrian: “Looks like you’ve all accepted the Apocalypse Chat Group now. You’ve even changed your names and gotten familiar with each other.” 😎
Aqua: “You jerk! Last time you called me a useless goddess! How dare you insult the beautiful Goddess of Water! Apologize right now!!!”
March 7th: “Whoa! It’s the admin! Tell me, how do you know who I am? Are you from my world or something? Have you heard of my legendary reputation?”
Exusiai: “Oho, looks like he knows me too.”
Saeko Busujima: “It seems Mr. Adrian knows quite a bit about me as well.”
As expected.
He’d known they would ask.
Fortunately, he’d already prepared an answer.
Adrian: “Just call me Adrian. And like I said before, don’t ask too many questions. I only know the general details.”
Adrian: “Instead of worrying about that, let me tell you something interesting I just ran into.”
He gave them a brief summary of the apocalypse game he’d been thrown into.
March 7th: “That’s terrifying! If you lose the game, your world gets an apocalypse?”
Saeko Busujima: “So that’s the apocalypse in your world, Adrian?”
March 7th: “Wait, yeah! Adrian, what kind of apocalypse does your world have?”
Adrian: “Three of them. Cognition. Anomalies. Uncertainty. All twelve-star.” 💀
His answer was short and straightforward.
March 7th: “…”
Exusiai: “…”
Saeko Busujima: “…”
Aqua: “Hahahaha! That’s what you get for insulting the Goddess of Water! Beg me sincerely, and this goddess might generously save you!”
Adrian’s mouth twitched.
This idiot goddess…
Adrian: “Can you even save yourself? By the way, are you hungry?”
Aqua: “Yes! I’m starving! Waaaah! Why does a goddess like me have to work for a living?!”
March 7th: “I’m starting to think Adrian’s description of Aqua wasn’t wrong after all.”
Saeko Busujima: “Your world really is plagued by disaster after disaster.”
Exusiai: “So what exactly is this apocalypse game like?”
Adrian: “I haven’t had a chance to look around yet. I’ll go investigate.”
He closed the chat.
Then Adrian stepped out of the classroom.
Outside lay a school that had fallen into complete ruin.
🏚️
Figures wandered aimlessly across the campus and through the hallways.
But something was off.
Their movements were unnaturally slow and stiff.
They didn’t look human anymore.
Looking closer, Adrian saw their torn clothes, rotting flesh, exposed bones, and shriveled bodies.🧟
They shuffled along like walking corpses.
“I think I know what this is.”
Zombies.
The classic enemy found in countless games.
“So the goal is to survive seven days in a school overrun with zombies?”
What a twisted sense of humor this apocalypse game had.
If all five players failed, these zombies would be released into the real world.
Adrian decided to test how dangerous they actually were.
He walked to the stairwell.
A lone zombie was wandering back and forth.
He raised his hand.
Dark Water Yin Thunders condensed in his palm.
⚡
Palm Thunder!
A technique that discharged Thunder directly from the hand.
Although Palm Thunder was the standard application of the Yang Five Thunder, the Yin Five Thunder, specifically Dark Yin Thunder, could be used the same way.
A bolt of black, heavy Thunder burst from his palm.
It struck dead center.
The sluggish zombie never had a chance to dodge.
Crackle!
Thunder roared.
The zombie’s body stiffened before collapsing to the ground.
Its already withered corpse became nothing more than a charred husk.
“So weak.”
He had barely used any strength, and it died instantly.
He had no doubt that even with nothing but his Level 2 physical enhancement, he could have punched it to death.
[Ding! You have killed 1 Zombie. Apocalypse Points +1.]
“Hm?”
Adrian’s eyes lit up.
“So this is the connection the Apocalypse Chat Group mentioned?”
Killing zombies earned points?
There was actually something this good?
He suddenly couldn’t wait to rush outside and start mowing zombies down.
But first…
He had to find Yukino Yukinoshita.
🕵️♂️
She had apparently been chosen as one of the players too.
Adrian began searching floor by floor.
Along the way, he casually wiped out every zombie he came across.
“…..”
