I slowly opened my eyes, infront of me is my classroom devoid of any evidence pertaining the Apocalypse, it's near lunch time now, I look at my phone's time, exactly 24 hours.
'I see, exactly 24 hours in the past, and also the hidden requirements to activate the skill is to die, I should say that's a pretty harsh condition isn't it?'I thought as a weak smile form in my lips.
*One hour ago*
after the group started to get moving, Leo, Alex, the one with hypermovement and Shawn is the vanguard team, Misha and Lucy is providing support in the sidelines, with their noise more and more zombies comes after them, some students have reluctant faces for killing their former schoolmates they can even recognize some of their friends in the crowd.
but Leo keeps saying things in order to not make them think twice.
"Remember don't hesitate on killing them, like I said they are already monster, they are not the ones you know, even them would want to be dead than to stay in that disgusting state, one moment of hesitation could make you the next monster."Leo shouts while killing zombies with precision and masterful techniques, he's basically a killing machine at this point.
And Alex, if Alex could be describe then maybe a grim reaper, he only brought onslaught onto his path, he slaughter zombies with disregard of his safety because he knew well that with his iron body no zombies can break through his defenses, atleast at this point in time, the way he quickly swap weapons is really a sight to behold, one could be smash in the head by hammer, others could have slice in their body by a sword or katana or having their body pierce by spears and javelins.
'I don't think we're even needed in this situation, it almost feels like we're being power leveled up by high leveled players, our roles is suppose to be cleaning up zombies that gets to escape outside of their area, guess what? it's been 30 minutes now since they last said that and we haven't killed any zombie even one.'
The one with hypermovement is really terrifying, his speed can't be almost seen by naked eyes, he's like a speedster of some sort, I remember that he tells us whenever he tried to use his ability, the world seems to move in slow motion.
he uses katana, and whenever he passed by a zombie will be decapitated.
even Shawn who have the self healing ability is also a killing machine, with his near endless stamina all of his attacks were on full force, he even treated this as just a part of his training, constantly pushing himself to the limits, every second he continously become stronger ever so slightly.
also the one with
having a special ability sure comes in handy. all of the people with no special ability were just steady following the group of killing machines, some already puke by the super gory sight they have witness, flesh after flesh is being cut, bloods after bloods is sprouting out and also forming a pool of blood, this is just too much for them.
but slowly and surely they unknowingly adapted to it, with constant reminder of Leo to them their minds have been slowly mould, they have no choice but to adapt on their new environment and finally steeled the themselves.
the first classroom that they have arrive were devoid of living beings, they can only pray to the souls of this students.
the second classroom fortunately have a few survivors and they bring them with the group, giving them the enhance weapons to equip with them.
the third classroom were also only full of man eating flesh zombies.
it's in the 4th one that we encountered some problems, like really huge problem.
after our frontline members open the room they can only see dead zombies and at the center, you'll see a small creature of 3 feet in height, his legs looks like a kangaroo and his big ass hands displaying claws like nails.
suddenly he disappeared, no not disappears he is just too fast for us normal people with no special ability.
the frontline is still digesting the information they have just witness when we saw the creature in the ceiling upside down, crouching and locking his sight at the back were we all weak survivors location's are
'This is bad.'
In the next second the creature shot through from the ceiling, he successfully shot through the back utilising his small figure and found a gap in our frontlines, the first one to react is the one with hypermovement, but it's too late.
I notices that a liquid seems to touch my cheek, a wiped and look at it----- I'm fucked, it's blood, I slowly look to my side, I only witness a classmate of mine missing his head, I look below and saw that creature looking straight at me and crouching, I knew what will happen next.
Memories of my life flashes before my eyes.
so that creature targeted the weak huh? if only I was stronger.
oh yeah I haven't even use my special ability yet.
why am I so calm in the face of death? oh yeah I'm always calm no matter what the situation is.
'Time reversal activate!'I thought but nothing happens it seems like that's not how it works.
'a few seconds feel like eternity to me.'Little did Kim jeon-il knows the one with Alter movement is using her ability to him in order for him to escape.
Jeon-il's speed is 2 times
while Lucy also uses her ability to slow down that creatures movement.
and that's why he thought that time seems so slow.
'should an incantation be chanted to use my ability?'
'Ohh ruler of time, me your child that has inherited the time domain seeks your help to let me borrow a portion of your power, Time Reversal activate!'I chanted but to no avail nothing happens.
'I guess this is how I'll die.'Jeon-il thought as he braced himself for his impending doom
in present time the people could only see the creature crouching down and the student closing his eyes, nevertheless with all their efforts the creature seems to be not hindered by the speed reduction as his speed still reached a blinding level.
the group saw how his head reach the ground with a *thud*
Jeon-il only felt a slight pressure in his neck before losing consciousness and then quickly back in the next second.
*Back to the present when he opened his eyes*
as I realize that the hidden condition is death I thought of limitations.
1. maybe I could only go back in time if I died at the hands of zombies.
2. maybe I could also go back in time by dying from the hands of zombie or a human.
3. or maybe the hidden conditions is to just die, no matter how you died or what process I go through before I died, if I just die then I can go back in time.
4. if the number 3 is applicable then is it only valid during the Apocalypse? tomorrow is the Apocalypse so if I died now would I go back in time?
possibilities followed by possibilities enters through my mind and only entertains the more logical ones.
anyway I can only risk it.
*few minutes later.*
I'm now standing at the roof.
'I can only risk it, there's no zombies now, also no one in their mind would be willing to kill me just for experimenting purposes only.'
I look down from the 5th floor.
'I would like to die in most quickest and not painful way, I think this will instantly make me dead isn't it? should I have some special position to land? my position should be in a flat position because if my head lands first it could lessen the impact all over my body'
'I need to split evenly the impact for the entirety of my body in order to spread the recoil, I need to damage all of my organs if I land, to die, If I fall really fast then a sudden immovable force stops it? what do you think will happen? yup my organs would be mangled because of all the force build up and then suddenly stops.'Jeon-il thought.
his legs is shaking and his lips trembled.
'Am I scared? haha of course I am who in their right mind would think of this? Well I guess I'm not that so called right mind.'I thought as I jump.
I felt the winds brushing my face, I tingling feeling resigning In my stomach, I'm scared of course but I have once outrun true death, I'll just outrun it again.
'Status.'I thought as a status screen shows infront of me while falling.
I smiled at this.
'If the status is here then I'm sure the special ability will be activated.'
*plop*
Jeon-il felt his consciousness fade out and comes back the next second.
I opened my eyes and saw the ceiling of my room.
"Experiment successful."a bright smile escapes my lips.
"it should be sunday now, so the Apocalypse will occur on Tuesday about 9 am in the morning."
then a sudden bell resounded in my mind.
[Ding...]

[Congratulations for being the first Awakened being.]

[The limit of your skill energy is now at 300.]
"Dang is this what they called my golden finger? nah its just a power up, my golden finger is my time reversal."
'Inventory.' a screen appeared in front of me with 50 slots.
the first slot is being occupied by a golden box with red intricate lines and few glowing carvings.
'Should I tap it?'I then proceed to press my finger in empty air.
[Do you want to use the item [Yes/No] I then click the yes. a golden text I can't understand suddenly appear infront of me then quickly change into a differential word, then the text start to change rapidly. 'I guess it started now.' after a while it slowed down, and I could read some abilities that passes by. until the words stopped. 'Oho that's great! that's really great.'I nearly jumped in joy.

"HAHAHAHHA."I jumped in joy and then quickly calmed down, bruh this is telekinesis don't tell me you aren't excited too?(AN: Did you just break the 4th wall? :>) then a ringing again sounded in my mind [Congratulations for being the first one to receive a special ability from the [You have been rewarded "did I just spend my life's worth of luck in this short amount of minutes?"

One could eventually grow to manipulate the weather and create thunderstorms.] I raised my pointy finger in front of my face then a spark appear out of nowhere, then in the next second static electricity covered my finger, I pointed it towards the wall. *Zzzz* a small circular part of the wall was now in color black while smokes is emerging from it. I quickly calmed down myself. 'status.'

I nodded in satisfaction as I thought about my Time reversal ability. and then a sudden realization struck my mind. "Holy shit! aren't I immortal?."
