"Ahh, Sh*t, here we go again!"
He panicked and didn't know what to do. Even before he could think of his plan to escape this predicament, he already heard some banging noises on the door.
He planned to rush at the door, but it was risky since the zombies were already there and that space was narrow and he couldn't swing his katana.
Then in the corner of his eyes, he saw the window made of plain glass. Then an idea came to his head.
Without deliberating it anymore, he ran towards the window and smashed his body towards it. IT easily broke and he immediately jumped from the second for.
His hands were holding the hilt and the sheath of his katana while it was unsheathed on his waist. Then his right leg was bent ninety-degrees and his left leg was extended towards the back.
He imitated the actions of the characters in the anime he watched when they jumped off a higher place with their katana.
He looked really cool from the third-person perspective. But after he felt great satisfaction, the harsh reality slapped him to wake up. The second floor was a bit higher than he expected his dream form quickly vanished as he tries to flap his arms and legs, as if he is swimming mid-air.
He luckily landed on his feet, but he twisted his ankle and it really hurts. Then the zombies that were banging the door shifted their gazes and attention form the door towards him who can't run.
He took a deep breath and unsheathed the katana that's hanging on his waist.
Then he prepared his stance, the stance that he used to see in anime. He placed his katana near his left chest as he gripped the hilt with his two hands.
Then the first zombie was now on his attacking range. Then he swung his katana so hard as he aimed it towards the zombie's neck.
The katana didn't sever the zombies head and it was stuck halfway from doing it.
Then he pulled back his right hand and hit the blunt side of the blade with his palm to forcefully sever the head of the zombie.
Due to the force of the palm that hit the blunt side of the katana, the blade pushed through and successfully severed it.
Then, thinking any further, he grabbed the headless corpse of the zombie and used his skill absorption to absorb it and heal his ankle.
The zombie's stats were a lot weaker compared to his, so he didn't get any status points from it.
The pain in his ankle vanished after he absorbed the zombie. Then he gripped his katana and prepared himself for the other zombie that was rushing towards him.
He brandished his katana while aiming for the neck, then it stuck like before. He then again did his tactic in finishing the cut and it was still successful.
Then a blue notification appeared in from of him.
"Katana mastery skill acquired"
Then he stared at the blue panel while confused: "Is my life a game?".
Then he ignored it and focused his attention on the clusters of zombies that were coming on his way.
He gripped the katana as he ran outside. He memorized his path so he couldn't get lost. Even if he forgot, he left some markings indicating that it was where he came from.
Then, after exiting the gate, he saw that zombies were rushing to him from his left and right. Luckily, the alley where he came from was partially empty, with only some zombies.
The Aromatic scent from his body was guided by the wind, the wind was strong this time. The wind came from the north, so the zombies in the alley didn't catch the aromatic scent.
So he rushed north and entered the alley. He runs, his left hand is holding the sheath on his waist and his right hand is holding the katana. He leaned forward a little bit as he ran like those that he saw in the anime.
Then a zombie in the alley caught the scent that was left on his clothes and started rushing towards him.
He was still running as he approached the zombie. He used his momentum and brandished his katana, still aiming for the neck. Then, due to his momentum, the zombie's head severed on one hit.
Then he grabbed the body with his left hand and absorbed the corpse.
He was not planning to gain stats from the zombie, but he wanted to absorb its stamina to sustain himself from running and fighting.
Then, after absorbing the zombie, he started running again. Then, for the second time, he felt his body grew cold as his hair on his body stood.
"What the heck is this feeling?" Then he heard a loud roar not far away from him.
He looked back and saw something terrifying. It was a humanoid creature with a crouched body and deformed face. Its size is twice as large as Herro and it has large steel claws in both hands.
Then, after the creature roared, it started running towards Herro in all fours.
Then Herro remembered Kira's description of these creatures: "Mutants!"
Then he ignored the zombies ahead of him and then he started to run for his life. He accepted the fact that his weakness and his weapon type, that he will not be able to fight this monster.
The mutant was at least as twice as fast as Herro. It didn't take a long time before catching up with Herro.
Herro was sweating profusely because of running. He knew that the mutant was faster than him and he had zero chance of winning a fight against it.
Then at the corner of his eyes, he saw a broken-glass window, the window was small, making it easier to escape a large enemy like the mutant.
The mutant pounced at him even though it was 10 meters away from him. Its hind is so strong that it's jumping height is almost seven meters. Then, as soon as the mutant pounced, Herro forcefully broke and he slid for two seconds before rushing towards the window.
The mutant didn't expect that Herro would stop and missed his target. Then he rushed towards Herro and before it could reach him, Herro was already inside the room.
Without even taking a deep breath, He opened the door and found himself again on a lounge, But the lounge was smaller than the other one where he battled against zombies. There are zombies inside, but he didn't even spare them a glance and started running towards the stairs.
There re no zombies on his way up on the stairs. He continued running the stairs until he reached the fourth floor. When he reached the fourth floor, he was already panting so hard.
After checking that there are no zombies there, he found a door and opened it. It leads to a room that looks like an office. Papers scattered on the floor and he saw the computer tables and only found a small ball with a green and red button in it.
Then he said to his mind, "The technology of this time is really advanced." Then he hid in the restroom of the room.
He sniffed his clothes and confirmed that there is no aromatic scent left in them and was confident that the mutant won't be able to find him any more.
After a while, he heard some loud banging steps climbing down from the first floor.
Herro, who had just calmed down, starting to panic again as his heart starts to beats faster.
The loud steps stopped at the third floor, as if it lost the lead about its prey.
Then Herro heard the steps going down and vanished after a while.
After ensuring that the Mutant was not around, he took a deep breath. He then started to relax, it was still noon and he hadn't taken his lunch yet.
Then he went done to the first floor and sneakily avoided the zombies. It won't do him anything good if he agitates and kills them, because he won't gain any vital stats from them.
He then easily found his way back to where he is staying together with Kira.
He was elated to see that he was only a few steps away from his base, a loud explosion appeared 10 meters in from of him.
He was pushed back by the explosion and he fell to his back. He started backing up when another explosion appeared not too far away from the same spot.
"Is there a bombardment in this place?" He thought.
He couldn't see what had exploded because of the smokescreen created by the dust.
Then he heard some loud and oddly familiar steps. Then, when the cloud of dust subsides, he saw a familiar body of a lady lying unconsciously. "KIRA!" He shouted as he identified the body.
Then he saw a mutant slightly different from the one who attacked him. It was wounded and it dragged its right foot as it walked.
The mutant was slowly walking towards the unconscious Kira. Then, without thinking how hard the situation is, Herro rushed towards the mutant with katanas on both of his hands.
