Chapter 1

When you wake up, you bastard (1)

Kuwaaaaaa!

A huge explosion suddenly came from the sky.

Junyoung, who was dozing in the seat of the bus, was startled and woke up by a huge explosion that suddenly occurred.

‘what is this sound?’

But after that, there was no sound.

No, I couldn’t see anything out of the bus window, as if the whole was covered in thick fog.

Not even a sound.

silence.

Both the driver and the passengers in the bus’s driver’s seat are as rigid as mannequins.

It feels as if time has stopped.

But that is only for a moment.

Everything started moving again.

The strange fog outside the bus disappeared and the passengers moved.

It was as if he had moved to a quiet and secluded space for a moment and then returned.

Everything came back to normal though.

What came into Junyoung’s field of vision was a sight he could never have imagined.

“Creep!”

“Kiki Kick!”

People moving through the collapsed buildings.

Bloodshot eyes.

Somebody’s blood and flesh are smeared red on the corners of his mouth.

‘What the hell are they?’

Junyoung watched them with a puzzled expression.

Wow! Woo Jijik!

Whoa, whoa, whoa! 👌👌👌👌👌👌

Something really unbelievable was happening.

eyes full of madness.

How can people devour people with their mouths screaming ferocious like a wild beast!

It’s not like a zombie from a movie.

‘no! right!’

For a moment, Junyoung’s body shook violently.

‘That’s right. zombie!’

Yes.

The monsters you see now are all zombies.

Although it has a human face.

They are already non-human monsters.

‘How in the world do zombies come out?’

What happened?

Could it be that the end of the world has come?

“help me! Aww!”

“Hey, save people! Kuah!”

I want to deny it, but it is a reality.

The atrocities that were only seen in movies and games are happening everywhere.

“Ugh! Monsters are coming here too!”

“Hurry up, open the door! Knight!”

“Come on, open the door! Fuck! If you stay here, you will all die!”

“Are you crazy? When you go out, you get eaten by monsters. Knight, please don’t open the door.”

“Close the door! Close the windows!”

“Call the police!”

“Hey, I can’t answer the phone! crying! mom!”

Opinion that you should open the door and run.

The opinion that if you go out you will die, so keep the door closed.

But when they saw people devoured by zombies who broke windows on another nearby bus, everyone was in agreement.

“Avoid everyone! I will die if I stay here!”

The driver, who was trying to escape the zombies somehow, gave up and opened the door and ran out.

“Don’t push! Do not push!”

“Aww! Monsters are coming this way!”

Abi Gyu-hwan!

There was no riot like this.

bang! Taang!

From somewhere, two police officers fired pistols at the invading zombies.

However, the zombies did not fall even after being hit with a pistol. They staggered over and attacked the officers.

“Oh, no! Go away… ahhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Dozens of zombies began to devour the bodies of the police.

Oddly!

👌👌👌👌It’s a dream.

This is a dream.

It must always be a dream.

But unfortunately, now it is not a dream, but a reality.

‘Ah! What a crazy situation!’

Junyoung quickly opened the window and jumped off the bus.

The driver, who went out the door, is caught by a zombie and is seen biting his neck.

The uncle, who pushed other people out, was also hit by a zombie’s fist and fell to the floor, covered in blood.

“Hey, save me! Aww!”

Then, zombies broke into the bus and attacked passengers who could not get out.

“Aaaah!”

“Ahhhhh!”

What is this?

Even more terrifying is that the sky is red.

‘Crazy. This is hell.’

why?

Why is this happening?

I do not know.

Thinking about why is not important now.

If you stand still, you will become food for zombies.

‘You should avoid it for now.’

What do you mean by apocalypse out of nowhere?

They’re zombies too!

What kind of sleeping situation are you banging on a stick?

“Huh! Whoops!”

Junyoung ran frantically.

“Guaaaaah!”

“Kiki Kick!”

When I turned around, two tall male zombies were chasing Junyoung.

A blood-red iris flashing through the messy hair.

His blood drips from the gap between his giggled, grinning mouth.

‘You have to keep running.’

The moment you stop, you die.

Junyoung ran with all his might.

no matter how he dies later on.

At least, I don’t want to suffer the death of being eaten by zombies.

“Ugh! Whoops!”

His breath fills up to the tip of his chin.

‘Eww! I feel like my heart is going to explode It’s no longer the limit.’

Fortunately, thanks to the run to death, I made a distance from the zombies, but if I stop here, it will be an instant to catch up.

However, I do not have the stamina to continue running.

Hiding behind a truck in front of the building, Junyoung glanced at the zombies.

Meanwhile, the zombies who missed Junyoung looked around, screaming like wild beasts.

They were getting closer and closer to where Junyoung was hiding.

‘Are you sure you come this way?’

At the same time, the difference is a single stone.

Junyoung instinctively picked it up and threw it at the window of another building he saw nearby.

Glass windows of a half-collapsed building.

Get it!

The zombies’ eyes turned to the loud sound of windows breaking along with the noise of a roar.

“Waaaaah!”

“Aww!”

They ran like the wind into the building.

‘done.’

It was an unintentional move, but he succeeded in evading the zombies.

It is fortunate that the intelligence of the zombies is not so great that they can even see through such fine hairs.

Of course, that’s only for a while.

What measures must be taken to survive?

‘It’s tough. Where should I go?’

Actually, there is no special way.

There is only one way if you don’t awaken any special ability.

‘Rather than move blindly, you should find a safe place and hide.’



Yes.

You need to find a hideout.

A space with minimal food and safe from zombie attacks.

‘It would be nice to have a building over there.’

After moving for a while, a building that looked relatively intact came into view among the broken buildings as if they had been hit by a missile bombardment.

‘for a moment! Because there might be zombies inside.’

There is no guarantee that there will be no zombies in the building.

Multi-family residential building.

Junyoung looked around the building holding her breath.

As soon as you go up the stairs, you will see Room 101.

‘The door is locked.’

I knocked on the door just in case, but there was no response.

I don’t know who’s inside.

‘Even if you’re like me, you won’t open it.’

Junyoung looked at the house next door.

Room 102 is also locked and Room 103 has a broken door, so it cannot be used as a hideout.

The same goes for the second floor.

Fortunately, when we went up to the third floor, the door to room 302 was open.

‘There’s no one inside. It’s an empty house.’

I don’t know whose house it is.

Originally, it would be punishable for trespassing, but now is not the time to consider that.

Junyoung locked the front door.

‘after!’

I finally secured a hideout.

Even so, it is an unstable space where you never know when you will be attacked by zombies.

At least I can catch my breath for a while.

‘What should I do now?’

That being said, I am worried about the family who will be at home.

How was the house?

Soon though, Junyoung took out a smartphone from his pocket and made a call.

‘Damn it! No calls!’

No phone calls, no internet.

I had an ominous thought.

Junyoung shook his head vigorously.

No useless thoughts.

‘Everyone will be fine.’

If possible, let’s think in the good way.

‘Please everyone stay safe!’

You want to run out of this place and go home right away, but to go out on a street full of zombies without any measures is to kill yourself.

‘No matter how you think about it, something unbelievable has happened.’

Oh my gosh!

A zombie apocalypse!

The more you think about it, the more unbelievable it is.

But even if you want to deny it, it is a stark reality.

Because I witnessed people being eaten by zombies with my own two eyes, and I was also chased.

‘okay. What is the government doing?’

In fact, zombies are scary monsters, but it’s not a big deal when the army is dispatched.

Obviously, the government is going to do something.

‘I will. please! Let’s hope so.’

If not, a catastrophe truly unimaginable has arrived.

It means that all systems in the country have already been disabled.

‘this! Electricity went out here too.’

It’s not because the lights are switched off that the house is dark now.

In addition to the lights, none of the appliances, including the refrigerator and TV, are working.

Black out!

I guessed it when the smartphone was out of call.

The electricity went out and communication was cut off.

Then the tap water will be cut off soon.

‘No, the tap water has already been cut off.’

When the electricity goes out, the water pump also stops working, but it doesn’t stop the water supply immediately.

It is normal for water to come out for several hours because the pressure in the water pipe remains.

But I don’t understand why it’s singular right away.

‘It’s worse than I thought.’

Is this what it means to be mentally ill?

Junyoung sat down on the floor with a bewildered expression.

‘Usually in fantasy novels, when the apocalypse comes, you wake up.’

Is there no such thing as awakening?

Then Junyoung burst into laughter.

‘crazy! In real life, there is no such thing.’

In the midst of this, are you out of your mind to think of the Awakened from fantasy novels?

However.

The absurd thing was actually happening.[The light of a mysterious dimension illuminates you.]

‘what? what is this sound?’

An unfamiliar voice suddenly heard.

As if speaking from a female announcer with a clear pronunciation, it comes into her ears clearly, but it doesn’t feel human.

[One of the myriad abilities that exist in the dimensional plane resides in you at random.]

At the same time, a mysterious light swirled around Junyoung’s body.

“Ah!”

An indescribable refreshing feeling.

What the hell is going on?

[You have gained a new ability.][You have learned the unique ability 〈Search (?)〉.]

‘uh? What is this?’

no way?

Real awakening…?

A transparent window appeared in front of Junyoung’s bewildered vision.

[Explore (Lv1)]

-Classification: Unique ability (?grade)

-Consumes 10 mana points when casting

‘····················ogue ”!

When I touched the window with my hand, it just passed.

An illusion that can be seen with the eye but cannot be touched with the hand.

But it is not just an illusion.

A window of information that seems to exist only in a game is floating in front of your eyes like an illusion.

How should I explain this?

Suddenly, as if thirsty, Junyoung swallowed his saliva.

‘Am I really awake? Is that so? No matter how you look at it, does it really look like that?’

Is awakening really real?

It is also the awakening of game ability!

What would happen to the protagonist in a novel or movie is happening in reality.

‘for a moment! Then this is not the time.’

Junyoung calmly read the information window.

Although the extraordinary phenomenon of awakening has occurred, it is because the situation is not satisfactory enough to like it now.

‘You have to figure out what kind of ability it is.’

However, there is no detailed description of what kind of ability it is, except that it consumes 10 mana when casting.

Besides, why is it graded?

‘You mean you don’t know the grade?’

It is an ability that can never be identified by the contents of the information window alone.

Meanwhile, the voice is heard again.

[Your body is reconstructed through awakening.]

How do you reconstruct the body?

‘Wow!’

Meanwhile, an unknown energy rushed through his body.

[?-class unique ability exploration affects your body reconstruction.]

At the same time, a new window appeared in Junyoung’s field of vision.

【Name】 Kang Junyoung

[Level] 1

[Life] 10/10

[Mana] 70/70

[Stat] Strength 1 Stamina 1 Agility 1 Magic Power 7 Dexterity 10

【Coins】 0

【Unique Ability】 Quest (Lv1)

[Combat Ability] None

【Living ability】 None

‘This?’

The stat window of the game without fail.

Judging by his name, Junyoung’s status is revealed.

‘It’s also displayed like a game character.’

Awakening the gaming skills you’ve only heard of!

Calming his beating heart, Junyoung carefully looked at his status window.

‘There is no combat ability or life ability, only one unique ability.’

The stats are a bit odd.

In general, the basic stats of all game characters, such as strength, agility, and stamina, are all 1.

‘If strength and agility are like this, isn’t it the worst?’

I said that my body was strangely a little lethargic, is it because the stats are like this?

However, oddly enough, the other two stats are relatively high.

horsepower 7.

And his dexterity is a whopping 10.

‘Why is your dexterity so high?’
