RE:BORN Zombie

166 Monster Appears

The beings that discussed some sort of plan seemed to mention a particular name that they kept referencing, and the picture that showed before them was Victors. At a glance, they all looked like beings not of that world, and their features weren’t completely human, except for one.

“It’s gotten too chaotic, I only hope we get enough time.” One of them said. He looked like some kind of reptilian creature with a humanoid form. His body was black and cameral in colour and was roughly scaled, and he almost resembled a giant as his height would be anything above 10 feet.

“Two are gone, six of us remain...” Another said. He was closer to regular size for humans, at somewhere between 7 feet. His form was also not exactly human, and his body spotted a golden kind of shade to it.

“If we all couldn’t kill that bastard, there’s no way the remaining can, we have to go with plan B.” The first said.

They both looked towards the third amongst them who was the most human looking with a normal fair skin tone and looks, they seemed to want him to decide. “We will be going with plan B, there’s no other way.” He said.

“SO now we can only wait for death, huh?” The second said.

They continued discussing on as Victor’s image had longed disappeared from their presence.

.....

Back in the world, the events that kept happening didn’t calm down, rather, they got more unexplainable and random.

The reset had also brought demons to the world instead of through dungeons, and Victor was glad to add them to his evolution path. Truly, these times were the golden period for him, as more and more strong species kept appearing. If only he could absorb them all and add to his evolution, it would have been a game changer, and he would long be the pinnacle.

The thing was that, as with everything, there exist an advantage and a disadvantage. For example, he was able to bypass the negative attributes of being a vampire since he was a zombie lord prior to that and had the undead body, it was the same with some species.

Some species had something good to add to Victor’s strength, but their other traits brought them out of the list of possible evolution paths Victor envisioned. Also, because he was always being cautious, he might have been unnecessarily wary about some.

.

As years went by, decades came and gone, and the event of universal reset happened a couple more times even. Victor had really grown in strength so much that at that current time, no one could dare stand against him as an opponent. Of course there still lay some danger here and there, but he needed not to worry about them, as he was sure to have no one move against him.

After all this time time had passed, Victor and successfully turn to be the sole Overlord of the entire planet.

As it would happen, there were some attacks from other life forms that were not from earth, but against earth’s might, it was simply a case of a cub fighting it’s ancestor. The battle was too easy and Victor alongside other powerful individuals and beings on earth didn’t have to move themselves.

If someone was to see the current state of the world, they would ask when the strong would be ascending into some other realm, but that was not happening unfortunately.

At this point, Victor’s system became very beefy:

...

After passing the barrier of S rank, Victor found that he could advance further into other ranks, SS, MAX, & Z.

When it came to skills, he had to feed some preferred skills to other skills in order to advance the rank of the chosen skill, and though that came unexpected, he was glad he had all those skills he collected from all the evolutions he underwent. He couldn’t do this though until the Fifth reset when the function of upgrading and increasing skill level returned. Too bad he couldn’t use coins to achieve an increase above S rank, if not it would have been a different story all together.

As for his stats, he couldn’t exactly achieve a rise in rank above SS with just level ups, and since extra stat points were no more, there really wasn’t that option. All he could do was use evolutions.

At the moment, he was at the peak of each evolution path. Be it, Zombie, Vampire, Demon, Dragon, Shade, everything was at it’s peak.

Everything seemed to be going well, and by now the world had gotten used to the resets that happened from time to time. The only thing was that they couldn’t predict when it would happen, as they happened at different intervals, some sooner than others, and some farther. The telling sign though, was the sudden appearance of giant gates and prior to that mass uncontrolled dungeon breaks that would happen simultaneously.

At this point in time, these signs had all happened, and now the world was at the stage where giant portals and gates would start opening. Already, there was one gate that opened above the sky, just before exiting earth’s stratosphere, and this one was the biggest to ever appear in history. The odd thing however, was that even after so long after it opened, no other gate followed, which made everyone wonder. Little did they know, something was about to emerge from the gate instead.

...

Over the following days, the gate kept expanding little by little until it grew to an even more unimaginable size. It easily covered an entire city at this point, and different powers from different parts of the world made haste and came to the city where this gate had appeared. Victor also seem to have a residence close to this city, and that was where he was staying at the time, also awaiting the gate.

Taking everyone off guard, the gate that no one could pass through began emitting a strong static current and unusual magical energy that raged like a storm. There were a series of lightening running rampant all over the gate, and because of it’s size, those lightening shots and streams reached the earth’s surface, destroying some parts of the city.

“It’s already causing me trouble even before it breaks? Ah, just what kind of area did I inherit? Just one problem to another!” The mayor of the city cried to himself as he witnessed by himself the destruction of the building just next to his. Normally he would stare from his window with a drink in his hand to admire the city he had worked so hard to kill his father and inherit, but lately it wasn’t that anymore.

Whatever it was with the mayor, he was not the main focus at the moment, as he himself brought the problems to his hands. The thing that had everyone’s attention, even Victor who was far away, was the being that had just come out of the humongous gate that hung on the sky, casting a think shadow over the city.

It would not be too much to say the beast that emerged was even bigger than the gate, maybe it was just optical illusion and it was actually same size.

“What the fuck is that monster!?” “WE ARE DOOMED!”

“Hahaha, I should have taken the shit when I felt like it came, now I shit myself.”

“Just kill me... Oh.. This is the end of my city...”

All over the place, people were terrified, while others just couldn’t believe the situation before them and would really believe that it was all a dream that they could wake from at anytime.

The beast seemed to have been dropped from the gat, and when it touched ground it stood just a couple of distance away from the gate. The impact alone after it landed uprooted the buildings surrounding it and formed a crater, and for a while there it remained in the same position without moving, like some dead body.

Dust and particles covered the entire area, and it’s form could not be clearly made out. Suddenly, it’s glowing purple eyes opened wide, and with one fierce roar the beast let out, it was enough to uproot hundreds of buildings, and bring complete destruction to the entire environment. The people close didn’t fare well either, and most of them even fell dead or were crushed by flying constructions. If the sound didn’t kill them and make their ears bleed, the debris did.

The destruction was imminent as what just happened was just the beginning. Many who had gathered could not even stand to put up a fight as they struggled to survive the massive destruction of the entire area surrounding the beast. At the moment, the time of the day was currently mid afternoon, so as soon as the gate above disappeared, sunlight pierced through the atmosphere and struck the ground beneath that had seen no light for days.

The dust covering it’s form also cleared, and before the world stood a monster that could only be referenced to a dinosaur. It stood on eight legs, and had four arms in the air as it actually seemed to be standing upright. It’s head could almost touch the clouds, and in place of the gate, it’s gigantic form simulated the same effect to the ground below as it blocked out sun light for most of the parts.

Seeing such a strong beast, most who could still help it didn’t think twice before turning the opposite direction and fleeing for their lives. Even as every being ran for their safety, there were still those that believed in their strength and did the opposite of what others where doing.

Though people could escape now, the situation wasn’t that of simply buying time. After several resets, the earth was now several times bigger than it’s original self, at least 30 times bigger than the normal earth, so it would really take much time for even a monster as big as that to travel across and everywhere on its surface.

Like that, the path of destruction was opened, and as if the beast was inspired by a famous monster that used to be known on earth, it embodied the name ‘Walking nuclear Mass.’

When it started moving from where it landed, something really strange began happening. At least, 5 kilo metres around its position completely disappeared as though it eaten or engulfed by something strange, and in the place of the earth in that area, the entire place would slowly eaten away as it crumbles to nothingness.

Many who came to fight against it tried their best, but little seemed to work. The monster was simply unmovable and unstoppable. The best weapons used by hunters could do nothing to it’s extremely though scales, and all it had to do was just lift and drop one of it’s legs to cause a disaster. So far, that was the only thing it had done.

Victor who was watching the monster walk towards his location was readying to go meet the beast to see what he could do to it. He had a set of armour with him that he got from the system after he unlocked a shop function sometime back and discovered the first piece. After that the system started giving some weird missions, which was also the first time his system had given him any mission. After gathering the complete set of the nameless armour, he didn’t even wear it as he was already strong enough without it. Now though, the time seemed to have come. Many wouldn’t be able to tell, but the nature of the mana emitted by that monster was really weird and discomforting.

Just as Victor finished wearing the set of armour, a system task appeared before him from nowhere, and as though sending him on a suicide mission, the system just had to ask him to kill the monster, the name though, explained it all.

[Eater of Worlds, Vargbond the Destroyer]

[System Mission]

Objective: Kill the Eater of Worlds, Vargbond the Destroyer.

Reward: Unknown

Penalty: Annihilation

.

“Well, if I can’t kill it, it’s going t eventually kill everything on this planet, and I can’t say whether I will be able to survive or not.” Victor said to himself as his servant helped him with his staff.

Victor had on a set of armour that seemed like light leather armour the way it fit him without looking bulky, like it was some tailor made clothes. ‘Did this thing have the ability to adjust to size?’

The colours were a brilliant and well done mix of Coal black and red, with a dash of pine green. As for the staff, it was something Victor acquired as a reward from the system. It could expand to a certain extent and extend, also to a certain extent. When he got it, he couldn’t help but think that it was too similar to a certain someone’s legendary weapon, not to mention that his armour had a certain aesthetic to it...

“This always feels unoriginal.. No matter.” Victor said, as he looked out his window for a second or four before jumping out through it unannounced, making his servant reach out to pull him back too late.

Victor, set off.
