As I ca to terms with my slipping humanity, I started to wonder about the future. Would I look like a monster in the future, like the man I just killed in cold blood? Will I go insane, consud by madness, hunger and rage like him? Whatever the case, I must survive no matter what. And to do that I need more information so my eyes focused on the only clue I have, the strange interface in front of . I stared at the information listed beside the 'system features', I'll call them that until the system gives a proper na for them.
[Fiend: The first evolutionary stage of the beings created by Chaos. Demonic energy flows through their body, making them stronger than re mortals.]
[Will to Live: "I will not die, I refuse to beco a mindless monster." Your willpower has been recognized and through willpower alone you will decide your fate.]
[Regeneration: The wounds on your body will now passively, or actively, heal themselves using DP. The speed of your regeneration will be determined by the amount of DP you have and your tier.]
'That's…not as bad as I thought.' As I read the description of my new Fiend race I couldn't help but feel a bit relieved. I thought a fiend was so type of monster that had to kill people to survive but it seed I was overthinking it. But I still couldn't be sure it won't happen in the future, so I had to be careful.
I read over the information again before assessing the resources at my disposal, which were practically nothing. Firstly I needed weapons, preferably ones that kill these creatures in one hit, so I decided that the police station would be the best place to go. And I hoped that there weren't anymore crazy zombie people there. With a plan now in mind, I took the knife from the man's corpse and took a bag pack I found behind the counter. Walking down the desolate street I saw many more abandoned cars and motorcycles on the road, and I thought that maybe I should take one, but decided against it. Cars and larger vehicles cluttered the streets, making it hard to drive along the streets, and there was also the noise factor. On the way to the station I had to pass the only hospital in town, and after a bit of an internal battle, I decided to head inside to get so dical supplies for the future. My shoulder wound already healed up, aning the [Regeneration] skill was doing it's job, but still, it would be good to be prepares, just in case.
Walking into the hospital was just as I expected…..deserted. Walking down the clean, white corridor I felt cold, reminding of when all this started, but there wasn't an eclipse outside, and this cold felt more like a feeling of foreboding on an instinctive level. Checking the rooms, I didn't find anything or anyone until I reached Disabled Ward. The corridor looked like sothing out of a horror movie and the flickering lights only made it feel even more authentic. The corridor was filled with blood stains as corpses of patients were strewn everywhere with their limbs and organs all over the place. I suddenly felt even colder and I clutched my knife even tighter, although I didn't spot anyone, or anything, yet. Walking through the grueso corridor I checked each room silently, trying to make as little noise as possible.
*Crunch*
*Crunch*
*Crunch*
I froze before I slowly turned around to look at the source of those wet crunching sounds, and my breath hitched when I saw what it was. Inside an operating room, I saw five doctors munching on sothing loudly. Black blood and innards filled the room and these 'doctors' didn't seem to mind as they continued to devour their prey. A dead patient that I couldn't distinguish whether they were male or female due to how much of their flesh was ripped off their body. I stood there a few seconds in pure shock, and I felt like throwing up from the overwhelming stench of rotting corpses and the grueso scene that played out before , but I held it my lunch in.
Having seen enough I started backing away from the scene with a look of horror on my face and then….
*Crush*
I stepped on sothing, a bone fragnt maybe, and I imdiately knew I was fucked. I looked up only to see the red blood lust crazed eyes of the 'doctors'. The bulging black veins in their face pulsed like angry worms, the blood dripping from their face and the pieces of flesh stuck between their teeth a testant of what they will do to . I looked down and seeing the mangled, half eaten corpse lying on the ground, I felt my mind go blank as my fear, horror and revulsion made my instincts take over as my mind went blank. And then before my mind could even realize what was going on, I ran as fast as I could as the blood crazed beasts chased after to make their next victim.
**************************************
I ran as fast as I could and eventually I lost them, allowing to hide and catch my breath. I knew I would eventually be discovered so I had to resolve myself to kill them before they could kill , which wasn't that hard and I didn't even question it this ti. Like a hunter, I assessed what I knew about these crazed, zombie people, and I quickly decided that divide and conquer was the way to go. Now the only problem I had is to find a way to kill them quickly and from experience stabbing them in the chest didn't work but hitting them in the head with a blunt object seed to work so I wondered if stabbing them with a sharp one would work as well…I guess I was gonna find out.
Searching the room I found four scalpels and I took them with for extra protection. Walking out of my hiding place I searched for my hunters and it didn't take long for to find one of them standing in the corridor. She was sniffing around as if trying to catch my scent but I seriously doubted she could sll anything except rotting flesh. Thinking fast I took a coin from my pocket and braced myself for what I was about to do.
