David's face looks like questioning due to my answer to them
"system status the one that you get after killing a zombie"- David
while me I'm in deep confusion to what they are telling me
"I don't know that"- John Carl. I was shocked and sweating badly to their questions to me
Dessa too looks at me like I'm an alien here!
"ha? you don't kill any zombies along the way?"- Dessa. as she openly staring at me
"it's already 5days since the apocalypse, how come you still don't know that?"- Kaye
"yes after killing a zombie, you can gain access to this system, you don't have any companion? especially that system is can be seen only by you except, if you share it with other"- Christian. he proudly explains it to me while planting his feet in wide stance
"yes unless you let someone view it with your permission"- David
they talking about this system but I don't have any clue about this!
"I can't get what you are saying!"- John Carl. I shake head my vigorously
they raise their eyebrows like they are observing me if I am telling the truth to them
"duhhh... what can I expect from you, you are really a John Carl"- Dessa. she shrugs her shoulder like it was a common thing to me
"yes, really a John Carl"- Kaye. she rolled her eyes as followed up Dessa's remarks
"hey hey! you are abusing me! why does my name suddenly have a negative meaning!?"- John Carl
David suddenly moves forward and assist me while scratching his like he was having fun.
"uuuu.. focus on your eyesight and say STATUS"- David
I don't know if they are power tripping me but there is no loss in trying
I try what David told me, I focus on my eyes and say
"STATUS..."
and suddenly a hologram square appear in front me there was this details written on them
with the sudden show of the hologram screen in front me , I was shocked first

he has anticipation looks in his face and ask me
"now what you are seeing?"- David
"there was this hologram with my name and some strange words"- John Carl
"what is your bone frame?"- David
as David ask me I found the thing he is asking me
"R-REGEN BONE FRAME?"- John Carl
"regen? is that mean that your a healer?"- Christian
within our commotion
suddenly another person enter the room
he wears jersey shorts and a black T-Shirt , he is bigger than the rest, and his Chinese look eyes scan me from head to toe, he came forward near me
It was Timot!
"yes if we base only in his bone frame but what is your skill? - Timot
"brother Timot!"- John Carl
Timot just nods at me and ask
"What is your skill?"- Timot
----
"REGEN- it can heal user fatigue using X amount of mana"- John Carl
"ohhhh... so it was like a passive skill?"- Timot
"yes we thought so too Brother"- David
but before they finish they're talking, I've told them the title that I have
"and also I have a Title: REINCARNATOR"- John Carl
all of them quickly looks at me, with curiosity in their faces
as if I've caught their attention all of them look at me surprised
Timot hold my shoulder
"that is new to us, the title and especially a reincarnator?"- Timot
Kaye also suddenly change her mood towards me
"the more we learn the more we have many more questions to ask"- Kaye
as Kaye is absorbing the things that she learned about me, Christain suddenly talks loudly
"cool! I want to have a title also! how did you get that CARL!"- Christian
Kaye glare at Christian without blinking and with her sarcastic tone
"go die now"- Kaye
his body shivers to the threat of Kaye,
"iii... I don't want it!"- Christian. he steps back and raises both of his hands while the palm was towards Kaye.
likes a puppy, Hellboy's tail is between its legs now!
"good"- Kaye
"for now it is better for you to rest"- Dessa
"nah, I'm okay my skills helping me to maintain at my peak condition"- John Carl
Timot shakes his head
"no your mana is too low now and don't always use your skill because if your mana reaches zero again you'll lose your consciousness again"- Timothy
now I know that mana is the reason why I've fallen unconscious last time!
"so for now stay there, Christian lets scout the area"- Timot. he waves his hand in a follow gesture while waving goodbye to me
"no! I don't want to, I want to stay near Kaye"- Christian
"don't be so clingy okay, we girls are too scared to scout the area"- Kaye. she pretends to be a helpless girl with his hands clenching at his mouth
using his childish demeanor it was not effective to Kaye who acts also as a child!
eventually, he leaves along with Timot as he scratches the back of his head
Timot and Christian depart and now the remaining is Kaye, Dessa, and David
"by the way, where are we?"- John Carl
Dessa casually replies to him. "We are at the big white building near richnet store"
"ee!? how ?!"- John Carl
"it all happen like a dream, and now 4days already has been passed"- Dessa. she looks above and reminiscing the scenes happened
*EVERYONE HIDE!*
someone shouts outside of the room and its voice is really familiar but I don't know who it was
"quick! crawl!"- Kaye. her tense voice alarms us that there is something no good that is about to happen!
Dessa, Kaye, and David immediately crouch and crawl in the ground, It was too confusing so I followed them
I have too many questions remaining unanswered
"what is happening?!"- John Carl
the face of David was really scared and shaking
he silently looks up and says
"look at the window"- David
I immediately look at the small window
at first, there was nothing there but suddenly
*swwoooshhh* swwoooshhh*
someone pass by!
my whole body feels shiver and fear!
"w-what is that!?"- John Carl
using his sharp glare against me
"stay quiet idiot!"- Dessa
"w-what is that"- John Carl. I tried again to us in a low voice
"We also don't know, that thing appears after the 3days of the apocalypse"- Dessa
David slowly crawl under the window and also we did
"it will be more difficult if those creatures found us"- David
all of us are scared, I thought I've already seen the creatures from hell because of the zombies but now there is this flying creature!
*KKKWAAAA!!!*
a few minutes the sound is gone but we are still not leaving our position because of fear.
in a minute a person comes in
he was rushing and his face was full of worry towards his only daughter
"Dessa are you here!"- ?. his lips and chin were trembling as he looks quickly from to side
"Papa!"- Dessa
upon seeing Dessa his desperate eyes suddenly soothe
"haaa... I'm glad you're okay"- Bobby
as I saw they're family bond I quickly remember my mother!
"Uncle Bobby is here also, but where is mom?!"- John Carl
because of my sudden remarks, he looks at me and suddenly recognizes me
"John Carl? is that you?!"- Bobby
"yes Papa we also don't believe it first but he was reincarnated and has a title on his status"- Dessa
"good good good it is great that you're alive even we are in an apocalypse and you have already died before"- Bobby
"yes it is too hard but ill tell you, Papa, later" -Dessa
Uncle Bobby only nods his head in satisfaction
"Uncle Bobby where's my family?!"- John Carl
he just looks at me with his tired eyes and says
"2nd day of the apocalypse the rescue has come but a limited number of persons only can occupy the vehicle"- Bobby
"is that so, so my mom is already rescued?"- John Carl
"yes but after that day the rescue never came again"- Bobby
my heart jumps from the excitement that there is a possibility that my family will be complete but sadly it was not now
I hope that mother is okay, what about my sister and brother at the province, I hope that they are okay
our silence was broken by David
"hoooooooooo.... it was too scary! that flying half body zombie is too scary!"- David
but I was shocked due to the sudden declaration of David
"eee!? is that a zombie also?"- John Carl
"yes, but it was different it almost looks like a MANANANGAL"- Kaye
I was standing frozen, that scary thing is a zombie too and can fly not just birds!
"come John Carl lets eat first we'll tell you everything that happens"- Bobby
we follow Uncle Bobby and move to the last room of the 2nd floor
there is where the supplies are stocked
"wow there are too many can goods here"- John Carl
"yes during the chaos Phil told us to collect every edible food with us"- Dessa
"right and along with the leadership of the elderlies we collect enough foods for us but"- Kaye
"but what?"- John Carl
"there is a shortage in our water supply"- David
"oohhh.. that's a real problem, is the water supply from maynilad is cut alrea-?"- John Carl
but before I continue my complete question
Bobby cuts my voice. "no, but some people in the 2nd day turns to zombie after drinking the water from the faucet"
luckily I don't find any faucet outside!
"Ha!!!?"- John Carl
suddenly a loud voice from a distance shouts Uncle Bobby's name
*BOBBY COME HERE!*
Its voice sounds familiar!
"wait here Sunny is calling me"- Bobby
and after saying its name, I immediately recognize it now
"Uncle Sunny too was alive?"- John Carl
"yes but they are the only parents with us for now"- Dessa
I am very wondering that how come they occupy this large building with their forces only, I checked the surrounding and there are no other people that help them, is there a secret in their accomplishment, its nerve breaking! therefore I ask
"how many are we here in the building"- John Carl
"Me, Kaye, Dessa, Raymart, Jestino, Jhon Jhon, Christian, Timothy, Uncle Bobby, Uncle Sunny, Bhlezy, Art and Phil"- David
"all in all there are 13 of us"- Kaye
to my surprise almost all of our friend was alive! and there is no outside source that helps them to occupy this building!
"wow even Jr (Jestino) is here, where are they?"- John Carl
with an uninterested tone, Kaye answer my question
"they are at the rooftop waiting for the rescue"- Kaye
but contradict to her tone, Dessa is cheerful
"come let us go there, bring your food there also"- Dessa
"Okay but please tell me what happened from the first day until now"- John Carl
as per my request, Dessa understood that I want to know what happens here
"okay ill tell you while walking"- Dessa
I just nod and prepare to listen to everything that Dessa will tell
"it happened 4days ago"- Dessa
N: let us go back to how it all happens
"it all starts when the PURPLE FOG came from out of nowhere"- DessaDessa POV11:58 PMDec 24we are very merry waiting for the Christmas eve along with my father and little brother"Papa its 2mins before Christmas!"- Dessa"yes, Sister woooohhh!! I cant wait to eat!"- John Marwell (aka JM)"just a minute wait until then ahaha"- Bobbydue to our friend's yearly group tradition, I am preparing the foods that I am bringing outside"were going to have an exchange food outside after celebrating Christmas here with you Papa, I can't wait to brag my special carbonara!"- Dessa"I'll bring some coffee jelly and tell them that I'm the one who makes it hahahah" -JMwith his loving tone, my father is reminding us
Our house now is full of peoplewe already have Ms. Silva the sole survivor of the 1st floorbut I remember again the scene before we go backall the zombies chase him and turn left at the courtand after a second the zombies scattereven though i don't saw what happen it was very clear that Phil is already been eaten and already one of themmy tears fall, it is so hard that every minute by now one of my friends are one by one becoming a zombiemy brother saw me crying so it went beside me"Sister, what you saw outside?"- JM"It was like a hell there are too many zombies at the roads and..."- Dessa"and?"- JMI cant say it so that I covered my eyes and cry again"Phil is gone, we saw him outside, he was chased by the zombie"- Bobby
Papa is currently resting at the room while I and JM are watching him "Sister are you really sure that father will not become one of them?"- JM I can see from the eyes of my little brother his concern and fear of losing our father "don't worry according to the information we've got, he will not become one of them"- Dessa "i hope so"- JM time pass by and JM and I fell asleep "Dessa, JM... my children" as soon as hear some noise and the familiar voice pass through my ears I've wake up and found our father in sitting position already "Papa!"- Dessa immediate I hug my father tightly because of the sudden commotion, JM also wakes up "Papa are you okay?! is anything hurt?!"- JM father touch JM's head "don't worry about me okay, I'm as strong as a carabao"- Bobby
how come Uncle Sunny can achieve that jumping powereven though we're in danger no one can do itno person can do it unless if you are trained but Uncle Sunny is a regular father
for the time being, all of us now is trying to familiarize ourselves to our newfound strengthbut some of us are having a problemjust like Christian and Kaye, both of them has a powerful skill but with pre-conditionChristian can summon a skeleton but he should have at least 1dark crystal so that he can use his skillluckily Phil collect some of this dark crystal from the defeated zombieswhile Kaye condition to using her skill is eyeglasses but the problem is if she lost or the eyeglasses destroyed she can't do anything and just run away or worst let the zombie ate her alivebecause of that one of our objective now is to collect some eyeglasses for Kayebut the problem is Kaye have a high grade of eyeglasses and if she uses some low-grade ones, she can't see clearly and everything will be a blur in his eyesightbut now for starter, we should collect some eyeglasses for hereveryone was hype from the status and skills w
with our doubts, if Christian and Art can really defeat those 3 zombieswe still continue our way to the 3rd floor of the buildingmoving really close to the wall is the key to our smooth moving towards here but when we reach the corridor of 3rd floor*GGRRRUUUUU**GGWOOOO**UUUUUNGGGGGUUUUU**GUUGGGGGGGGUUUUU*there were too many zombies!"UUUUUUU... I think we cant defeat that too many zombie with the 3 of us only"- David"i think so"- Jimboy"let's just bash their head!"- Jestino"you moron try to attack that hoard and we won't see again"- Bhlezywhile observing the movements of the zombieKaye suddenly talk"guys I think I need to help Christian and Art, I have doubts, and I'm restless, there is something happening to them, please let me help them"- Kayeour group understand her restlessness not just because it is their 1st time using skills but they are just basically noob a
*EARLIER*after arriving midway at the stairs we spot dozen of zombies at the 2nd floor and most of them are at the corridorbut there were some that are inside the rooms
"UUUUU!! WHAT!!!!?"- Davidwe slowly look at the remaining Phil in our sidehe was just staring blankly!!
a policeman suddenly come inside and silently observe the surroundinghe steps forward and announce. "all of you go to the ground now"most of the residence inside has questionable looks but they don't rebut and obediently follow the orderoutside of the building has too many people and most of them are the survivors but like the group where john carl hides, they are all malnourish and some of them has a coughthis seen aches John Carls heart, in his mind how can this authority let their constituent become like this, this is a living hell aside from the zombies. It's true that humans can be much more scarier.in the midst of the crowd, a woman suddenly walks forward, she walks like a superior person while her chin is up and her eyes with full of disgust, she is a very example of a person who looks down on othersas soon as he saw who the woman is, John Carl's blood suddenly boils. It was Becky!clenching his and biting his lips, he ca
along the way, we encounter some stray zombies and it was not a threat but before we approach the municipalthere are dozen of policeman and soldier patrolling the vicinity of the area"We can't approach the place easily"- Bobby reacted upon observing the situationPhil quickly replies to him. "yes, I think we should split up with a fewer person I think they don't notice when we sneak in"all of us nods to his proposal and slowly leave one by onethough we are strong individually we can't resist the onslaught of heavy firearms therefore this is the best plan to sneak insidewhile checking the surrounding I've noticed that the guards near the city jail are not doing their jobs properly and slackingwith this opportunity, I silently dash towards the open door. It was successful and I'm finally inside the municipal but there is something amissI can't find any survivor, slow avoiding the CCTV cameras I check every corner and can't
"guuu... what happened?""John Carl are you okay!?"I can hear a voice from my side as I look at her, the vision of someone I knew revealed.it was Di-an and to my shock, the girl on her side was Mary Ann!"w-what are you doing here Mary Ann!?", I pointed at her with a stuttering voice Di-an suddenly interrupted " am I invisible Mr.silva!?" the irritated face of Di-an was scary and made me tremble "sorry!" Mary Ann suddenly smiled slightly and talks "I choose the lesser evil that's why I stayed""oh... I thought it was because of me...". In my heart, I am disappointed to hear that, but it's better that she stays here than to look for her in another
the battle was too exhausting, and everyone is depressed about the outcomeThe group thought, they've improved a lot and have the chance to defeat the Gigante but like a shallow dream they horribly if grim reaper wasn't there, every one of them is already been dead. Everybody is awake except John carl who shown a sinister aura earlier Phil steps forward and breaks the silence "guys the battle is far from finish" all of them look at him with a questioning look. Dessa approaches him and asks "why?" Phil sits down and discusses the matter that lingers in his mind "1st it shocked me to how come to gov't official found out our place, and bring along a considerable amount of police and soldier"upon saying this matter, every one of them feels something is wrong, the event earlier was like planned Ph
the square type body of the Gigantes looks more intimidating not just because of its sudden change of color but because of its angry face and steam that was going out from its mouth as soon as it breathes, every pores on the body of the Giant Monster was releasing this steam that makes the place hazierthe group stares at the sudden transformation of the enemy; they can’t breathe easily their voices turn ragged and an extreme fear was manifesting themEven the residence from afar has some glimpse of the sudden change of the enemy and the fear that it emits was stronger than before. Almost all of them kneeled in the group and the hope that they have vanished.*GGGRRRRRRRRROOOOAAA!!!!*An ear-piercing sound came from the mouth of Gigante and with this simple move, it creates a large shockwave at its front and blows the group away“WAA!!!”“UUU!!!”they manage to hold their group but though they were standin
The large structure that was almost like a 5 story building with its enormous body shape can almost block the light from the sky with its glowing red eyes which almost blocked by the fog. It was the basic characteristic of the Gigante.the group stand to their ground while evacuating the residence to the deeper part of their territory for the upcoming battle will be fierce and they can’t protect a huge amount of people against the power of the GiganteJohn Carl stares at it while gulping. He was remembering how that monster almost killed him in their first encounter. “it will be a hard battle”as if the Giant was waiting for them, it only stands for almost 1 minute before it takes action*GUOO!!!!*With a loud shout, the shockwave made them almost blown away, the group using their trained mana they block the shockwave but still, it was too strong, and operating their mana was much easier than blocking the shockwave from s
the dead peoples were rushing towards the group every step they make shakes the entire area, most of them were rotting already and their flesh was falling apart but it doesn’t matter their only desire was to devour the entire living creatures in their path.while Becky was in a foul mood everything that she planned was wasted and now they need to confront an unimaginable amount of zombies that were approaching them, luckily the policeman and army were clear-minded and prepared themselves for the incoming battle but the residence was very tense because they were not trained to battle this ridiculous amount of zombies.Bobby saw it and declared. “residence stay on the back-line any zombies that pass through us eliminate them as soon as possible!”“Okay!”. it was easily understood by the crowd and stay in the center of the field, but the survivors that John Carl rescued don’t show any movement and wait
a girl with floating 15 needles was walking towards the group of policemen. She glares at them with full ferocity and not willing to waste any moment for an idle talk,The group of policemen raised their guns and point it at her, while Becky was giving them the command. “stop right there! Or we will shoot you!”Bobby quickly grabs Bhlezy, but she was too focused on her enemies and not minding what Bobby was saying“Bhlezy stop now! They have the number advantage and they have guns in their possession!”- Bobby. he was convincing Bhlezy to withdraw but any words from him were not enough to stop her bloodlust.Becky was too irritated to how Bhlezy was staring at her and because of this she commanded. “fire at my will!”As soon as Bobby heard it, he summoned his shield and withdraw his skeletal dagger as he tries to negotiate. “damn! I know we don’t have the advantage but we won’t let you bully us!
the group progressed inside smoothly and when they arrived at the marketplace where the foods were placed they found a man wearing a guard uniform.It instantly saw them and approach. “are you guys from outside!?”the man's face looks like in his 50s and with no companion, he stayed inside the marketplace so he won’t have any problem with food consumption.Sunny answered him. “yes we are from outside, how you're the only one here?”The guard stares at them, trembling. “actually the mall has 5 guards and when before the Christmas Eve came, almost every employee went home and us the 5 guards who were a duty that day, stays here”“then where are the other guards?”- Timot. he was curious about what happened to them and this lone guard leave behindHis face went gloomy and replied. “when we all wake up, we immediately check the CCTV if there are
