Chapter 2: No Mercy
Zero stared at the symbols on the screen that he could somehow understand.
'last one standing... Death... If I don't do it I might die, and if I do it I'll for sure live'
While contemplating what he should do, Zero glanced at the others, The man blue-haired man was sitting, most likely looking at his status, and the two girls, one blond and the other with brown hair both huddled together, covering their naked bodies, they all had one thing in common, their horrified expressions.
'Why are they like that? Is it because we have to kill each other?'
He realized that he should probably be reacting like them, but for some reason, he wasn't... why?
In any case, he did not want to die so he approached the blue-haired man, and while he was distracted, Zero lunged at the man grabbing him in a lock, choking him, and digging his nails into his neck.
"Ack!" Being caught off guard the man had no time to dodge, and due to the thin white-haired being surprisingly strong, he could not escape either.
After a few minutes, the man stopped moving and his neck was bleeding. Zero then heard a monotone voice ring in his mind.
[First kill!]
[You have killed an -N/A- human!]
[You have stirred the worms!]
Zero felt thin worms slithering through his veins, he felt as if they would burst through his skin at any moment.
[Drink human blood to begin the connection with your heritage!]
While in pain, Zero unknowingly crawled over to the blue-haired man and took a bite out of his neck. He chewed it thoroughly before swallowing.
[Complete!]
[Infect something with your blood to complete the connection!]
Zero, like a rabid beast, glanced in the direction of the girls who had run away and were at a fair distance from him. Zero's skin rippled as if something was crawling through it, then he dashed toward to girls, catching up in approximately 3 minutes. He grabbed the hair of the blond girl who had screamed earlier and flung her to the ground before pinning her down and choking her, this time though, he crushed her neck by placing all of his body weight onto it.
[You have killed an -N/A- human!]
Zero then quickly caught up to the second girl, grabbing her neck, then biting his thumb, and pushing it in her mouth, forcing her to drink his blood. Zero then pinned her to the ground, effectively paralyzing her.
"well, that was easy..."
The girl then glared at him, "WHY! WHY DID YOU DO IT!"
"uuuh... I was told to?"
"YU-" She was interrupted, as she spat blood, her eyes widened, "WHat did you do to me!"
"I don't know." Zero answered honestly.
The girl's skin began crawling as if worms were crawling through it, making her release a pained scream. This commenced for a few minutes before she went still and a monotone voice rang in Zeros ears.
[You have infected an -N/A- human!]
[You have killed an -N/A- human!]
[You have completed the objective!]
[You have obtained your heritage!]
[You are able to choose your class!]
