The One Luna

Luna reached the compound Sura was describing within a few minutes. Even he was surprised with how fast he traveled, yet somehow he didn't even feel tired yet. His stealth was already activated the whole time, he decided to skip out on killing zombies. To him, every second was precious, who knows what those sc.u.m would do to those men and women.

He vaulted over the gate and quietly landed on the other side, he quickly proceeded to what seemed to be the main house, and heard laughter inside. Peeping in through a window, he didn't see any of the men that Sura talked about. However, he already noticed one of the women, she looked to be around 19 years old, a Korean girl, possibly an exchange student, tied up as a man was in the process of taking his belt off. Luna suddenly heard muffled screams coming from the second floor. The guy taking his belt off looked up and started laughing as he said

"Looks like someone's starting much faster than we are, baby. Don't you worry, you won't be disappointed. The things I'll do to you, I'm sure you've never experienced from your little boyfriend."

Hearing the muffled screams and this guy's perverted speech, Luna was seething. He quickly sneaked into the house, and rushed into the room, before the guy could even ask who barged in, his head was already sliced clean off. Luna looked at the Korean girl and said "I'll be back to get you." then quickly rushed to the other rooms, killing the men who thought they were about to have a good time having their way with the women.

Running upstairs, to save the last girl, who already had her u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r off, he knew he made it just in time. Lopping the last man's head off, he quickly untied her, reassuring her with a "You're safe now. Get dressed and meet me downstairs with the rest." after which, he proceeded to untie the women.

There were a total of five of them, foreigners from what it looked like. There were three Korean girls, an American girl with blonde hair, and a Japanese girl. The Korean girl who introduced herself as Yu-jin, begged Luna to help find her boyfriend. They found him in one of the rooms, tied up.

After everyone was set free, Luna gave them some time to collect themselves, while asking them some questions to get to know their situation. They all came from abroad, and stayed at an apartment complex normally reserved for foreigners who come to the Philippines to study. The blonde American girl, Elise, lived with her father, but a few days before the zombie apocalypse, he had to leave for the south, to do a joint training with the Philippine military. She opted to stay behind, and since Yu-jin and the rest were already good friends with her, they invited her to stay with them at their apartment.

They were fully awake when the zombies spawned that night, since they were also waiting for Fused Worlds Online to launch, Sang-hwa, was there as well. Afterwards they actually killed zombies together, and actually reached level 3-4.

They were hardcore MMORPG gamers as well, so they understood the need to progress as fast as possible, while they were out hunting, the men from earlier who weren't that much stronger than them, ambushed them, and after managing to grab Yu-jin, threatened to kill her. They then beat the hell out of Sang-hwa and told them that if they didn't come, they'd kill him, that was when Sura saw them.

"We need to thank your friend Sura when we see her. If it wasn't for her, we might have..." They all shivered at the thought. Sang-hwa had his fists clenched, blaming himself for not being stronger.

"Alright, well, you have two choices. You can go on your separate way, or you can join our <Nation>." Luna then proceeded to describe to them the pros and cons of being a part of the <Sovereign Nation>. After talking about it as a group, they unanimously agreed to join.

Luna was, after all, their savior. They felt that they not only owed him their life, but their dignity as well. The rest introduced themselves, as So-hee, Seo-hyeon, the Japanese girl introduced herself as a Hana, she was skilled with a Naginata, but unfortunately she was stuck with a wooden club.

Luna had quite bit of spare Itak Tagalogs with him due to the amount of evolved zombies they had killed, so he gave them all a pair, which made them incredibly happy. They felt that joining Luna was the best decision they've made in this apocalypse. Along the way back, he let them kill the zombies, and occasionally helped out when it seemed like they were about to be overwhelmed by evolved zombies.

By the time they got back to the base, the group had already reached level 7, they distributed their stats accordingly after Luna gave them some advice. Within this time, Luna reached level 12 as well, which was a good sign, since this meant that Sura and the rest had killed a lot of zombies.

A little while after, Sura and the rest got back as well. Everybody had reached level 10. They would have killed more, but they had to go back and store the spare Itak Tagalogs they had farmed. They didn't get a lot of skill books, apparently they only got really lucky before, but what made up for it, was that they got a <Heal> skill book, which Apple used. She then proceeded to heal Sang-hwa's wounds.

Everybody introduced themselves, and got to know each other. Yu-jin's group couldn't help but take several glances at Sura after they finished thanking her. They had never seen someone so beautiful before.

Meanwhile, Luna was on the side, disassembling one of his Guandao, he was trying to find a way of retro-fitting his Itak Tagalog to replace the blade. He wanted to find out, if he somehow managed to attach the blade, and used it to kill zombies, would he still get EXP for it? If it ended up working, he could do the same for Hana, and build her something similar, so it would feel more like the Naginata she was more proficient in. This would, after all, be an increase in their combat power.

Nothing was set in this new world, this wasn't like an actual MMORPG where you couldn't do stuff like this. He was fairly confident it would work out, and if he was correct, the possibilities it would open up, would be endless.
