Having heard the mechanical beep. Stanley quickly dart his attention to his system screen. He was silent for a while. The sense of urgency he felt just had been extinguished but once again it reared his heart again. It wasn’t that long when he contemplated to check his system screen. In fact, he really don’t want to check it out anymore but because the situation was urgent he didn’t hesitate to tap the skill section.
Just as he heard before, he unlocked a new skill. Stanley browsed his system screen for a while, tapping impatiently on his skill section and soon he finally found the new skill interface: Master’s Bond..?
‘A rare skill that meant to increase your own ability when you are bound to another person’s ability. It can be use to exchange or share your ability with another person. Binds your souls as one in a short period of time. It can only be used once.’
Stanley was sile
‘Is this really the end?’Byul had just released the thought in his mind when he immediately opened his eyes in surprise. Byul gasped, he really thought he was going to die. The pain still haven’t subsided but he could feel his body being squeezed by a foreign object. In the next second, Byul turned his head and instantly froze. This time, the shock was too big that he immediately went stiff.The fear in his heart slowly left his guts and now all the feeling that is left was a total confusion. Byul blinked his eyes slowly thinking that this might be a dream. After all, he wouldn’t even see this bastard in reality but unfortunately his sleeping face was really just next to him.Byul tried to moved his face away but all the strength in his body was lost and he couldn’t even lift a finger. Byul sighed and just gave up the idea of pushing him off. He was curious though, how did he fo
It’s been two weeks since the outbreak started. From all of the place they had seen, Byul deduced that the apocalypse has just began. Judging from the few zombies crawling and the unknown cause, it seems the drug still hasn’t been discovered by the government. Though it was disheartening, it is such a relief that there’s only few zombies in the streets.“Fuck!”Byul was now burning with anger. It hasn’t been long since they confronted the hundreds of zombies and it still hasn’t been that long since that bastard activated his skill but now in a fucking moment of desperation, Byul didn’t hesitate to run away. Even if his legs had been shaking and he’s dragging his own body desperately, Byul was so pissed enough to not bat an eye to someone else.The certain someone was still fighting the zombies and it has only been a few minutes before he was instantly surrounded by th
Stanley let out an angry sigh. Fuck! He never felt so frustrated before but he fucking blame himself for not properly thinking things through. In his heart, he didn’t really plan to save him for he don’t have any reason to. But, damn! Even if he had wavered a bit and thought in such a negative way, the fact that he still save him cannot be denied!And right now, at this very point he totally regretted it. Who would’ve guess that this idiot was so f*cking ungrateful to not even hesitate to leave him behind? To tell him the truth, he also had that urge last night but he f*cking endured and stayed with him until the end!Back then, he thought he would be satisfied to see him suffer but thinking to it now, he felt a deep regret and resentment that he could never take back. It isn’t the fact that he regret saving him then but the thought of him leaving his side! He won’t care if he dies so
Over time, Stanley finally managed to calm himself. After such intense repentance, he felt more annoyed than better so he didn’t linger in the issue anymore. He never felt so empty before but thinking up to this point, he slightly resent himself.Byul just walked over and gave him a hateful glance. Can’t he just move on? Taking the matter so seriously. They’re not even that young anymore.It was about to be noon and the two of them was currently in the middle of nowhere. The boat was still running and he don’t know how to figure it out after fiddling with the controls for a while. After starting it up, he thought he’ll less figured out the next but being overconfident could really led to failure. After busting his brain cells for a while, Byul eventually gave up. Why is the control panel so difficult to understand? In games, he would only pressed one or two and it would be fine. However, the game was like the to
The trip to the island was short. Stanley and Byul stayed there for a night and when the next morning came, the two prepared to leave again. There were only few folks with them in the island and judging by the location of the place. The island is one of the safe zones.But since their main objective is not to stay safe and hide away. The two decided to leave the next day.Byul smiled faintly, he felt a bit uneasy but since the trip to the island. He never had the chance to speak with Stanley and even if there are, he wouldn’t talk to him anyways. He’s also grateful that Stanley didn’t bother around him so he’s mood was really good.Today, their next destination will be the mainland. After asking around about ye signs of the drug whereabouts, Byul was very certain that the island was oblivious to the outside world. Just like the one they lived in before…Thou
In three days, Byul and Stanley finally arrived in the mainland. After putting up with potato chips for three days straight, Byul thought his taste buds had gone numb. Since it was the cheapest thing they could afford in the island, he felt a bit funny.The yacht eventually reached the beach. The surrounding was quiet and only the two of them were in the beach. Presumably, the situation already turned worst and the mainland was the first to suffer the consequences of the outbreak if not then, this quietness must be a fluke.In fact, when they’re still on their journey to the mainland, the regions had already began implementing martial law and there were many roads that already been sealed off.After walking for six hours, Byul badly wanted to secure a car. It’s been a long road and he couldn’t walk anymore. Since the beginning they’re walking nonstop so now he really felt tired. Stanley, on the ot
En route, Byul picked up Stanley and the two of them drove all the way to the city square. Since they more or less already combed the outskirts of the region, the next goal is to confront the city. The two of them was traveled silently and on the way, Byul collected a few number of corpse lying around. He didn’t fully used his skill but he scattered the zombies to act as the lookout. Even if they’re killed again, at least they had some kind of use to him.In the previous world, he didn’t think of this because it wasn’t that convenient to use corpse and have them walked all over the street. If he did it then maybe it would be a part of history haha.Since the search matter was resolved, Byul wanted to find some weapons for him to use. It wasn’t that weird to seek some protection with his ability but because it was a very troublesome ability, he had no choice but to be extra careful with himself. Aft
That night, as soon as darkness crept on the skies. The sound of blood-curling screams accompanied by gunshots could be heard on one of the rooms. Stanley was quite amused by this, it seems like Byul wasn’t hearing anything unlike him who could hear a sound even from the tiniest noise. The sound was really disturbing and from his own perspective, it could be said that their suspicion were correct.This chaos went on as the night goes on and until the time they were finally led towards a certain room did Stanley avert his attention towards the people sitting leisurely on a chair.Along them were few computers and stack of files, the people don’t seems nice and some of them even have rifle hanging above their shoulders. Byul felt uneasy around the dense atmosphere. He glanced momentarily at the computer on the table and just fixated his gaze on Stanley’s face.On the other hand, Stanley was very relaxed.
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
