Waking up after an unknown amount of time , Astrick was feeling dizzy as he opened his eyes, after opening them he was met with a scene of a white empty room .
Before he was able to get his mind together , the robotic voice from before appeared once again in his head,
[Creating the trial's mission....]
[Trial's mission: Death is an extension of life]
[Mission objective: Survive for ten days in Lilith's world]
[Mission's difficulty grade: A+]
[The trial's world is a world that'll start falling into a zombie apocalypse after the challenger's sent there]
[The trial's world time is 10:1 the challenger's world time(means that ten days at Lilith's world is one day in the fallen world) ]
[Rewards: System's authority increased by 30%+????? ]
[Punishment for failing the mission: Death]
[Challenger will be sent to Lilith's world in 10 seconds]
Astrick's mind was numb from what he was hearing right now , but as if life was mocking him, before he was able to get himself together he felt like he travelled thousands of miles in a second , which made him really dizzy and he wanted to puke...
After he got over his dizziness , as he was trying to figure out what happened he was interrupted again as if fate and life didn't want him to get his sh*t together, he felt the worst headache pain he ever felt in his life .
He Fell on his knees holding his head in his hands screaming in pain as his eardrums felt like they were gonna explode , it was an amount of pain he never thought was possible to feel physically....
A Few minutes later the pain was finally over , getting up slowly , Astrick heard loud far screams ,when he finally got a hold of his body , he saw something that made his blood run cold and got shivers down his spine...
Right infront of him was a woman being attacked by what seemed to be another woman , but unlike the woman on the ground , the attacking woman looked nothing like a human, she had blood and organs in and around her mouth creating a scene directly from a horror movie .
Astrick almost pissed his pants as he thought ,
"F*cking hell , is getting my sh*t together illegal or something ? why the f*ck is something bad after the other happening to me ?"
The woman zombie finally finished her current meal as she noticed Astrick and immediately ran towards him aiming for his neck...
Unlike movies this zombie was so much faster than normal humans from earth, but thankfully , Astrick isn't from earth , and although his world is peaceful other than few wars from time to time and certain jobs, his ability is a fighting ability so he knows enough about how to fight properly....
As soon as the female zombie reached infront of Astrick , she attacked his neck with all the force she got using her hands...
Astrick of course was able to dodge it effortlessly , but sweat was forming on his forehead out of fear , afterall although he learned fighting , he had never seen a corpse before , let alone a walking one ....
After dodging few more hits , Astrick's primary fear started fading away as he decided it was time to end this crab, he dodged another hit from the female zombie and immediately used all his speed to get behind her then held her head amd smashed it into a near wall.
But The female zombie didn't die instantly , so Astrick kep slamming her into the wall again and again and again until she finally stopped moving.
She was dead...
Like dead dead ..
Astrick didn't know what to feel about that , as this was the first time he ever killed a person , although it can't really be called a person as it was already a monster, Astrick still felt a little guilty about it , although he was holding up well for his first time killing someone...
He stayed in the same place for a few minutes , trying to understand the situation he's in and figure out his feelings at the same time .
After getting his mind together , Astrick was clear about few things, first thing, for some reason he got sent into another world to be tested for something, and if he succeeds he will be rewarded with something called the system.
As For if he fails he will be punished by death , which is something that he doesn't wish to happen, so he's gotta work this mission out somehow...
Getting up on his feet , his face was ignited with determination as he thought,
' I'll live ! I'll keep living no matter what'
...
As Astrick left the alley he was just in , he was met with a scene he had never imagined even in his wildest nightmares.
Not too far but also not so close ,there was a big bridge, but unlike normal bridges where there are cars and trucks , this one had non.
Instead , it was filled to the limits with hundreds if not thousands of zombies running to catch some humans running away from them .
The Humans looked so tiny compared to the zombie as there were only about few dozens of humans and hundreds of zombies.
He could also see some elf looking humans between them , although they weren't actual elfs because they didn't have the same connection with mana as the elfs from his world.
Astrick swallowed his saliva unconsciously , this scene made him question his life choices that lead to this point , his legs were barely able to hold him as he was really terrified of that sort of scenes.....
But While Looking at the running humans , Astrick saw an elf woman running with what seemed her little daughter while a zombie was about to catch up to them, the fear on the mother-daughter duo was visible as they were running for dear life , but they weren't fast enough and the zombie was just getting closer ....
Seeing the daughter's face , Astrick's mind showed him the face of a little girl with an angelic face and brown hair , he couldn't help but think
' What if it was Clara in this situation?'
Suddenly all the shaking and fear left his body as his eyes showed a glimpse of killing intention...
His legs moved on their own as he started sprinting fearlessly towards the big bridge that many would consider a death zone with determined look on his face as he said
' I'll save you!!'
