“Your Highness, is there someone you want to get rid of?”
Hassan asked the Crown Prince as the two of them sat in the table, having tea. Lucas sipped on his tea and look at the Duke with helpless eyes. He put down the cup and smiled.
“By any means. Yes”
“And who?”
Hassan asked as he seriously look at him. The room was then filled with silence as the two people didn’t retract their gaze at each other. Only the sound of breathing was heard. After some time, Hassan put his cup down and waited for him to speak.
Lucas look at him with a bitter smile and said. “You.”

Byul raised his brow as he watched the Crown Prince gazing from afar. What is he staring at for? Byul turned his head and saw Hassan who was sitting still not far away from them.
The room was c
A few hours later,The door was pushed opened and a knight entered the quiet room.“My Lord.”Thr knight cupped his hand and bowed at the person who’s back was facing against him. He lowered his head and pursed his lips seemingly intimidated by his dangerous aura.“Did you find him yet?” A cold voice resounded in his ears, making him tremble a bit. The knight lowered his head even more and replied.“Yes, His Highness was swimming in the Xin Lake this evening.”“Swimming?” Luan turned his head, brows tightly wrinkled into a frown.“Apparently, we’ve heard that he was pushed into the lake by a strange guy. It is also rumored that he turned the Duke of Marshland as his puppet.” The knight calmly reported, his eyes flickering like he couldn’t believe what he just sa
“Sighhh… “The man on the screen puffed out a heavy smoke as he removed the cigarette on his mouth. He then knead it on the ashtray and lean back on his seat.“I get that you want to go home early but threatening the whole nation is going overboard don’t you think?”The people gritted their teeth while Hailey beamed a huge smile on her face. She then retract her smile and look at the screen with a frown.“What’s wrong with that? As long as the main task was completed then it’s fine isn’t it?” Hailey asked with a smug on her face.The others nod at her reasoning as they all look back at the huge screen. The creator was silent for a moment and then sat up with his hands clasped.“Fine then. Since you guys know the ropes now then I’ll tell you what to do next. You guys took your time
“We should rest here for now.” A group of four went inside the building. Two people carrying one person between their linked arms as the person in front acts as the lookout. The injured man looked up as his gaze prick towards the sturdy back. Chief Winston felt uneasy and eventually avert his gaze towards the three. The two dudes just stared at him as they tried to calm their subordinate. “Don’t mind him. He’s a bit edgy after we..” “It’s fine. We’re in an apocalypse anyway. Who’d want to trust someone?” Winston said as he finally dart his eyes ahead. The two dudes who actually are high-schoolers are students of Eastern High and the injured man was their teacher. One was a blond hair dude, a total punk and the other student wears a badge that seems to be a member of the student council. The two boys looked at each other as they seems to communicate with their gaze. After staring into each other for a while, they looked at the soldier who’s already a meter and half ahead. “We shou
Byul wiped off the smudge in his face. The four people darted their face towards the frozen corpse in the corner.Winston contemplated for a bit and finally spoke.“How are you still alive?”There were lots of zombies in this floor and judging by the number of zombies in this room, the other ones must’ve come up here to chase him. Winston can’t hold off the suspicion in his heart. Maybe, this person is a part of them too.Byul throw the paper towel away and said in a silly smile. “Zombies can’t eat me.”He then rummaged through his backpack and took four bars of chocolate as he hand it out to them.The four just stared at his bloody hand holding some chocolates and hesitated.After a long awkward silence, the teacher’s stomach growl making the very person clasp his belly in embarrassment. Th
The morning came the next day. After sensing an unfamiliar movement, Byul instantly opened his eyes. In that very moment, he saw a peaceful face close to the to his, the skin was dry and it seems to have been chapped because of the cold. Byul blinked, his mind still hasn’t caught up to reality yet. The sleeping face wrinkled his brows and finally after a few seconds, Byul reacted aggressively.He immediately pushed the face in front of him away and sat up, gasping in shock. His eyes must be playing tricks! What the f—is that bloody jerk doing here?! No, in the first place, why didn’t he detect his presence at all!Stanley wrinkled his brows, receiving a harsh kick so early in the morning instantly put him in a vile mood. He look above and saw the stupid face widening his eyes like a tarsier. Stanley yawned. His head still hurts and his already aching body received another harsh blow. Not to mention, he saw thi
Even though he knew this would happen, Byul was still amused. Not just by inch nor a foot but somehow a mile. The situation was expected yet at the same time unexpected.He really wanted to use his skill on that teacher, his hand was itching to fiddle around that perfectly crafted body all this while but he held back, thinking that he might survived the night and let the man end his own life. He really didn’t want to lay his hand dirty. But in the end, that bummer remained a coward. What a total disappointment. He felt somewhat regretful of his own choice.Anyways, he has no interest to dwell on stuffs so he just let go.In a silly smile, Byul faced the two students. With a voice filled with coquette, he says.“Your teacher really held it well. Too bad, he didn’t have the guts to end his own life.”The delinquent simply raised his brow, thinking that this
The one-sided slaughter continued as the whole environment seems to freeze, everything was in a silent, incomprehensible scene. It’s as if the other people were sitting right at the front row of the theater as they watch a horror movie.The four back off as they widened their eyes in shock, fear, disgust. Whatever it is, the feeling was unexplainable. The scene, how brutal could it be? That man was even worse than a prominent serial killer! Even if it’s a zombie, they still have that idea stuck on their minds that even these corpses were indeed once, a person too.It must be the pressure and fear but they can’t seems to move even a bit. Everyone is frozen stiff. Byul paused as everyone also focused their eyes on the beast standing upfront. His back is cold, as if he’s the only person in the world.[2s..1…0] Beep! Beep!Thud!With that, the last dism
“Gather the stuffs first! Only the necessities, don’t bring anything unnecessary!” Byul commanded as he pointed his finger in the room.Everyone immediately run after his order and went to pick up the things and hurriedly put it inside the backpack. Byul glanced at them for a moment and become satisfied with their actions.Byul prompt himself as he gave one look below. The group leading the front, followed by a hundred vicious looking zombies made his hand itch. Byul clicked his tongue. If only, if only this world could have abilities, he would never hesitate but it’s not the case.He then turned his head towards Winston and saw the rifle hanging on his shoulder. Without much thought, he pointed his fingers down below and coldly said: “Shoot the front, aim for the head. Don’t let the zombies bite.”Hearing him, Winston immediately pointed his gun and followed
Blood dripped down the blade of his knife on the ground. Getting himself bitten carelessly made his body tremble. It was the worst injury he could have possibly possessed but in the meantime, he felt his consciousness fading. It was such a long journey and he finally able to find his way into this world. Every part of his body aches and he couldn’t even squeezed out a word. Maybe it was because of the pain in his neck but the man only felt helpless.He could finally, finally saw him again and yet he was already this exhausted without even seeing a shred of his hair. Such a disgraceful appearance, if he was seen like this, they’d definitely freak out.He lift his head up to the sky as he subconsciously let go of the knife in his hand. His whole body was trembling, it was throbbing like crazy in the part where he was bitten by those things. His hand shook and as soon as he realized it, he was kneeling on the ground as he helplessly fight back with the remaining consciousness he had.The
Byul was really tired of being wrapped around his fingers. After the deed was done, he can only feel himself crumbling away. Where was his pride? He never imagined that he would be so disappointed about himself like this. Perhaps, it was because of his stubbornness that lead him to such ending but seeing how the situation turned pretty much out of his own grasps. He just don’t want to do a single thing anymore.Problem is, he had no way to take back the words he hurled to him in the past and he could never recover from the humiliation he felt. It was pathetic and he can’t even say anything at all. The only thing in his mind right now was to either forget everything and move on or cling to his crumbling resolve. No matter how much he put on weight to his hatred, he can only feel the undeniable guilt slapping back.Well, it doesn’t really matter. So long he never let go of his remaining pride…That morning, they prepared for the next action to take. The zombies still haven’t reached the
‘Hnn…’Byul worked up groggily. As he open his eyes, he felt heavy because of the arms wrapped around his waist tightly clutched him with no escape. He absentmindedly looked at it for a moment. Few minutes later, he slowly moved his body wanting to sat up when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower half as if he just got stabbed with a knife.F*cking hell! It hurts like a b*tch!He cursed inside as he silently reprimanded himself or endure the pain to sit. When the blanket slip away from his chest, the horrifying evidence of last night immediately welcomed his eyes.After realizing what happened, he immediately shove the arms away from him and face palmed guiltily. His whole face paled as he finally recalled everything that happened to them.“Haah…”To think he was gasping and moaning under this bastard’s embrace made him feel ashamed of himself. How could he? Of all people with this guy?! Byul stared at the bastard’s face and heaved a long sigh. Damn it. What now? He couldn’t bel
“Stop…”Byul whimpered in a soft voice as he slapped away the naughty hand crawling all over his chest. The surrounding became silent but he could clearly hear the heavy breathing next to his ears. It was a slow, ragged breath that made his face turned bright red. What is this bastard planning to do? He really couldn’t comprehend his actions anymore. He thought he already turned over a new leaf and didn’t care about their past anymore but what is he doing now?The warm air crawl down to his nape as the soft, warm lips planted a small kiss on his skin. The kiss was gentle and ticklish and Byul felt as if bolts of electricity are being sent into his body. The little lamb trembled a bit as the warm feeling started to spread all over his body. It was yet again that feeling he already forgotten long ago. It was strange yet familiar to him and that’s exactly why he can’t shake off the memory of that passionate night.The gentle kisses turned aggressive and Byul felt the naughty hands snakin
Finally, it was the 10th of the next month and Byul had fully recovered his health. It was all thanks to Stanley’s newly discovered ability. Master’s Bond connect both of their state. If he was hurt, Stanley would get hurt, if he’s dead but Stanley’s alive, he’ll be alive. Though, he don’t want to accept the fact he was saved by him again. He just put most of the credit to his own skill, regeneration.After leaving the soldier’s camp, they encountered many zombies along the way and it almost held back their escape. Fortunately, he was thinking straight that time and only had the guts to control ten percent of his ability to flee from the zombies’ claws.The two of them battled day and night and without even realizing it, they already reached the next city which was from a hundred miles away. The infection already affect half of the global population, continuing and it’s only a matter of time for the two of them to annihilate every last being alive…He blamed the people for their carel
Byul have no idea of what was going on at all. He was senseless, painless and casted out of the hurtful reality. His brain and body are numb and he couldn’t think, couldn’t feel. All he could obey was his instincts. His instincts to strive, kill and rip everything into shreds. He can also only feel the unending thirstiness in his throat, the strong urge to bite and gnaw at someone’s flesh. Everything felt so unreal but that’s all he could ever think of.In fact, he already lost his will. He can only stare and see the bloody mess in front of him by he couldn’t do anything. He don’t want to do anything but to just stare and wait for the next prey he could bury his teeth on. It was such a disastrous thought but he doesn’t know. All he could ever think was how will the blood ooze from those bite marks? How would his next prey slowly turned just like him and how he would fight and survive?All that simple yet disastrous thoughts ran on his head.And right now…He felt just one thing.‘It h
The suffering was endless and Stanley couldn’t keep himself from giving in to that unquenchable thirst. He was so excited, anxious, mad whatever you call that emotion. He couldn’t keep his cool, no matter how much he tried to suppress the urge it’s just pointless. He can’t even feel his own body obeying him. It felt so numb and stiff as if he’s a walking corpse.The whiff of blood and the smell of decay basked his sense of smell making him unable to breathe. It was suffocating and disgusting that he could feel himself being destroyed inside. It burns beneath and he was losing his mind.If it wasn’t for the shared sense, he wouldn’t feel this way but thinking that Byul was in a state like this, the feeling of uneasiness washed over his pain. All he could ever think of was,Find him..Save him…Eat him…
Filled with all the stabs in his body, the tearing pain washed over him. The youth screamed in agony, his arms and legs are restrained by an electric chair. The blood from his wounds dyed his seat red as the stabbing, piercing and tearing of the flesh continued.Byul gasped.Regardless of how hard he struggle, his body limped being electrocuted as soon as he tried to resist. The pain wasn’t something he couldn’t take, something that he never experienced before. The goddamn pain truly came from the soul, his mental state is strong but his body isn’t.Just how long could he be able to take the pain? Byul have no idea what time it is or how long have he been held in the torture room. His body had grown numb and the old cuts dried and reopened again. Just. Just. Stop it already.He want to scream, scream so loud to voice out the pain but he couldn’t, his mouth is gagged with a clo
Kacha! The door eventually opened up and the soldiers came inside to inspect the lab room.Stanley immediately dart his attention to the soldiers. In this time around, he wasn’t worried about the possibility of them uncovering their lies. However, he was more angry than worried about Byul blabbing his useless mouth.The idiot just woke up and was wondering why the place became crowded at this hour. It was only after the sunrise so he was quite surprised. Stanley just gave him a meaningful loo- no rather a deadly glare signaling him to shut his trap.Fu Yuan walked near the table filled with messy files. His eyes slowly traveled the room and suspiciously landed on the next door. There were no sounds coming from the inside anymore and judging by the relaxed atmosphere, they must’ve a breakthrough last night or so he thought.“Any progress about your research?” The lieutenant ask
